Chapter 681 The Astute Fors!
"Alright, Fors, don't bring the plots and ways of talking between men and women from your novels into real life."
Miss Hugh couldn't help but interrupt.
"Xiu, you weren't like this before. You used to always take my side. Now you value Chu Yang even more."
"So, does that mean love can disappear?"
Fors immediately put on an extremely aggrieved expression.
It's clear that she and Miss Hugh have a very good relationship and often make similar jokes.
Under these circumstances, Chu Yang, who was standing to the side, immediately shook his head with amusement.
Just as described in the original work, Fors is a true drama queen.
After all, Fors' profession is a novelist, so it's normal for his thinking to be a bit whimsical.
Then Chu Yang quickly realized that something was wrong.
He always felt that Fors was deliberately making the environment more harmonious.
It was as if, to some extent, it deepened the connection between Chu Yang and them.
"Why does Fors seem so insecure? According to the original plot, he shouldn't have this kind of personality."
Chu Yang was somewhat bewildered, like he was caught off guard by World War II.
But he soon came up with a guess.
After all, although Fors seemed carefree, he had always been quietly protecting Miss Hugh.
However, Fors herself had a very serious problem: whenever there was a full moon, she would hear very strange whispers.
This actually involves some areas of the mystical side.
Despite Fors's tireless efforts and attempts to change her situation, she was powerless to do anything about it.
As the plot unfolds, the strange whispers she hears should become increasingly clear.
Perhaps that's why Fors felt so insecure.
Miss Hugh appears to be upright and extremely serious, but she often acts completely unreliably.
Perhaps Fors was worried that Miss Hugh wouldn't be able to manage her life on her own after he left, so he wanted to find someone to protect her.
After considering the theoretical aspects of the situation, Chu Yang had basically figured out what Fors was really thinking.
"In that case, Miss Hugh is really lucky to have a friend who cares about her so much."
Even Chu Yang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
This also proves that Ms. Hugh is a very outstanding woman, and she often considers her roommates' needs.
Only through mutual consideration could we have reached this point.
Watching Miss Hugh and Fors playfully bickering, a smile appeared in Chu Yang's eyes.
Soon, Fors cleverly shifted the topic back to Miss Hugh.
"Chu Yang, I also know that your plan for Xiu is to start by contacting the children of nobles and gradually build relationships with the real great nobles."
"That does sound very good, but unfortunately I don't think Hugh has the ability to complete this plan."
Fors shrugged slightly. It was no exaggeration to say that, based on her understanding of Miss Hugh, Hugh was indeed incapable of doing this.
Chu Yang shook his head helplessly.
Based on his understanding of the two women in front of him, he actually preferred that Fors do the job.
Fors' emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills far surpassed Hugh's.
Of course, in terms of combat power, we still need to be stronger, but this specifically refers to head-on combat.
Just as Chu Yang was lost in thought, Miss Xiu looked helplessly at her best friend.
This best friend is really sabotaging her own plans. How does she know she can't do it before the plan has even been implemented?
Seeing that Chu Yang and Miss Hugh both turned their gazes toward her, Fors smiled and said:
"I suppose I was joking about what I just said, but Hugh and I discussed it at length last night."
"This plan is indeed good, but there are a few details I'd like to discuss with you."
"I'd like to hear the details." Chu Yang nodded noncommittally.
He naturally hoped that the plan could be implemented even more perfectly.
Moreover, the woman in front of her, Fors, is a writer of novels for many years, with a very unconventional yet extremely meticulous mind.
Perhaps with her suggestions, the plan could be made even more perfect.
"I believe that the children of nobles should have far more opportunities to access taboo knowledge than we do."
"Furthermore, if they really want to learn about this, they can seek information through official channels. Why do they have to come to us?"
Fors was very puzzled by this.
If this point is not clear, she believes there is no need to continue with the plan.
"The situation of nobles is not as good as you think. They do have easier access to the extraordinary world, but they also have to pay a greater price for it."
"First, they either need to join an official organization, or they must do things for certain forces."
"All of this would completely deprive them of their freedom, something that most aristocratic children who could live a life of luxury would never want to experience."
"So compared to government personnel, we actually have a better chance."
Having learned about the situation in this world, Chu Yang had already figured out the answer to the question clearly.
Hearing this, Fors nodded slightly, inwardly agreeing, and finally couldn't help but say:
"According to you, although these noble children are eager to learn about potions and taboos, I estimate that their ultimate goal is to obtain the corresponding potion recipes."
"You're right." Hearing Fors deduce the essence of the matter so decisively, even Chu Yang couldn't help but nod in admiration.
"Then there's one more thing, why do I always feel like you already knew about my relationship with Hugh?"
"I know she mentioned our friendship to you, but I'm referring to a time earlier when you seemed to already know about our relationship."
By the end, Fors was looking at Chu Yang with extremely sharp eyes.
"Of course, if I were to put it more bluntly, the Viscount Dormond you mentioned is actually a nobleman I met at a salon some time ago."
"When you mentioned Viscount Dormond to Hugh the other day, what you really wanted was for me to make direct contact with him, right?"
"And how do you know all this?"
By the end, Fors's eyes had turned icy cold.
She had also asked Hugh about this issue.
Hugh himself also expressed great surprise.
However, she also specifically explained that Chu Yang had always appeared to be very knowledgeable and wise.
But in Fors's view, this could never be the real answer to the problem.
"It's a long story, but more importantly, I've been eyeing you for a long time."
Chu Yang couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
Actually, both Miss Hugh and Fors will become members of the Tarot Club in the future.
However, Chu Yang was more optimistic about Fors' future development within the Tarot Club.
Because no matter what, if you want to survive in this mysterious world, having a meticulous mind is very important.
In this respect, Fors is far superior to Miss Hugh at present.
Furthermore, after the two join the Tarot Club together in the future, Fors's intellectual development will be stronger than Hugh's.
But Chu Yang certainly wouldn't reveal the real reason, instead giving a vague answer:
"Because I am a reader, the secrets I possess and know far exceed your imagination."
Hearing this, Fors's brows remained tightly furrowed.
"I know a few readers, but they don't seem as knowledgeable as you."
"Since you believe that as an Extraordinary Being, you are capable of knowing everything, do you know why some Extraordinary Beings hear strange whispers during a full moon?"
Fors very cleverly asked his own question.
Chu Yang, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.
He knew, of course, that Fors was on the verge of collapse at this point, so he would seize every opportunity to try to solve his problems.
Of course, this was just a test by Fors in her despair.
Moreover, the main reason why this happened was because Chu Yang showed too many unusual traits in front of Xiu.
After careful consideration, Chu Yang finally decided to take this opportunity to reveal some valuable information.
Of course, it's absolutely impossible to completely resolve the issues surrounding Fors right now.
"There are only two possibilities for ordinary extraordinary individuals to experience this situation: either they have provoked an evil god, or they have provoked a powerful being within their own order."
"And as far as I know, this usually happens to extraordinary individuals in the apprentice sequence."
Chu Yang immediately said something meaningful.
Meanwhile, Fors, who was standing to the side, was completely shocked.
She was initially dissatisfied with Chu Yang's tendency to act like a charlatan in front of Xiu, so she deliberately tested him.
On one hand, it was a desperate attempt to test Chu Yang; on the other hand, it was also a desire to embarrass him.
But who would have thought that Chu Yang actually knew about this situation?
At this moment, Fors could no longer maintain his affected manner and asked with genuine sincerity:
"Chu Yang, what else do you know about this phenomenon? Could you explain it to me?"
"Of course, this is because we are friends. If you need to make up for the difference later, I will do my best to compensate you with all my savings."
Hearing this, Chu Yang smiled and shook his head.
This kind of truly taboo knowledge can actually be considered priceless.
Because this kind of knowledge could, at certain times, save the life of one or even more extraordinary individuals.
He would never have revealed this knowledge so easily if he hadn't already been keeping an eye on Hugh and Fors.
After all, he had long-term plans regarding these two women.
"This is a long story, it begins with a world war hundreds of years ago..."
Chu Yang happened to have nothing to do, and he took this opportunity to change the thoughts and perceptions of the two women.
So he began to reveal extremely confidential information little by little.
In Chu Yang's narration, there is an extremely unique family in this world that once possessed a very special and extraordinary sequence.
Apprentices who enter this extraordinary sequence will experience rapid improvement in strength, but from the very beginning, they will hear very faint, strange murmurs.
As extraordinary power continues to gather and strength grows, this murmur, seemingly from an evil god, will become clearer and more intense.
"According to historical records, after entering the corresponding extraordinary sequence, almost no one in this family was able to reach the end of that sequence."
"Because everyone died at the intermediate sequence level due to the difficulties posed by the evil god."
Chu Yang's expression was extremely serious.
"So he means I'm also a descendant of that family? Or that my bloodline is also afflicted by this special curse?"
"But that's not the case. When I first became an Extraordinary, I didn't hear any whispers at all."
"I only experienced this after coming into contact with a very special ring."
Fors's mind raced, but he quickly made the clearest judgment.
Then she asked directly, "Is there a solution to this problem?"
"The most direct and effective way is to obtain protection from the deity you believe in."
Chu Yang gave the most effective answer without hesitation.
But Fors's face quickly showed a helpless expression.
Because the gods of this world will never so easily respond to the prayers of believers, let alone grant them protection.
After all, many things are based on fairness and equivalent exchange.
Even if you are a devout believer in a god, you cannot escape this rule.
"What else?"
Fors asked even more urgently, and she understood why Miss Hugh admired Chu Yang so much.
At least during the time she was painstakingly searching for the answer, no one else could reveal such a secret as Chu Yang.
She was even more eager for Chu Yang to solve her problems.
"Back then, that ancient family also possessed several top-level level zero sealed artifacts."
"But even they didn't solve the problem."
Chu Yang helplessly shrugged.
His meaning was clear: even a powerful family like theirs couldn't solve this problem, so how could they possibly have a solution?
Upon hearing this, Fors' body immediately slumped into the chair, looking extremely dejected.
Although she had found the root of the problem with Chu Yang, she had no solution at all.
Hugh, standing beside her, held her best friend's hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry.
She already knew about this, and he had been looking for the answer to the question, but he hadn't found anything.
Even if Fors hadn't brought it up, she was prepared to ask Chu Yang about it at a suitable time.
However, this matter is too important, and the secrets involved inside and behind it are also very valuable.
That's why she didn't easily ask Chu Yang. (End of Chapter)
