Chapter 101: Communication (For the Supreme Opening Heaven Holding Talisman Profound Vault High God Alliance)

Participant after participant spoke, and soon it was the last person's turn.

It was a man of medium build with a gentle and mellow voice, displaying a stack of manuscripts in his hands: "I am 'Cleric', and I wish to sell a manuscript by Aaron Sotos! I only accept barter, in exchange for a Secret Transmission of the 'Yao' path!"

"An Aaron Sotos manuscript?"

A participant asked excitedly: "Is it about Occultism?"

Although most Mysterious knowledge is obtained by Extraordinaries sleepwalking in the Spirit World, no one can deny the foundational status of the Green Forest Earl in the Mysterious world.

Furthermore, the Sotos Family controls multiple Extraordinary paths such as 'Underworld', 'Darkness', and 'Shadow', each of which is highly attractive.

"After he successfully ascended to power, he tore up the agreement and persecuted us madly!"

Aaron nodded, not showing much expression.

Those Fate-driven entities who would risk their lives against the 【Scarlet Creator】 just because of a rumor and instinct are nothing to worry about, no matter how powerful they are.

After everyone had spoken, Mr. 'Jazz' coughed and smiled: "Now we enter the free exchange session. I remind everyone that Green Forest City has not been peaceful lately. A case involving an Extraordinary has occurred, which has attracted the attention of the Investigation Bureau. Everyone must be careful not to get caught by those Secret Police..."

The technology in the Dream Realm is undoubtedly far superior to the Mortal World, and many ruins were left behind, containing a wealth of scientific knowledge.

"That is truly a pity."

'Jazz' shook his head and said nothing more.

It is just headache-inducing that those Mysterious scientists have all used Aaron Sotos as a shield, causing the current Aaron to inexplicably become the greatest scientist and inventor in a thousand years.

"Those damn Black Skins!"

They are not that dangerous and can be learned and applied in the Mortal World.

"No, I only want the 'Yao' Secret Transmission."

At this moment, he heard 'Cleric' reply: "No, it's not... It is a technological manuscript describing something called a wired telegraph. Its prerequisites—generators and electric wires—have already been produced. In Plymouth, the homes of the super-rich not only have gas pipes but have also installed electric lamps. If this communication technology is really as described in the manuscript, it will make a fortune."

He was not surprised that the ancient nobles possessed Extraordinary inheritances; in fact, that was very normal.

'Jazz' spoke up.

What truly surprised him was the fact that Sun King Arthur had obtained the help of the Hours to establish the kingdom!

"What case is it?" An old woman's voice rang out: "I don't pay much attention to such matters..."

A female participant cursed: "A friend of mine was arrested, secretly tried, and executed by them! Damn it, what did she do wrong? She just had a dream and was pursuing the Mysterious!"

"It is even said that the reason Sun King Arthur was able to found the Invis Kingdom was that he secretly obtained the help of one or even several Hours!"

The true King of Scapegoats, Aaron, kept a straight face and complained inwardly: 'The manuscript I gave Jinni does not record the contents of a wired telegraph... It must have been written by an Extraordinary who obtained relevant knowledge from the Dream Realm and used my name—this is riding on my fame!'

'To hell with it, the Fates are all lunatics... how have those Hours seemed to become rational...'

"It is quite normal for the Hours to intervene in the Mortal World; after all, whether it is the Mysterious world or major events in reality, the shadows of the Hours are often behind them... but Arthur's actions are too detestable!"

Aaron listened to the complaints of the Extraordinaries, but his heart was far from calm.

'Cleric' was not prepared to go to a private room to hear that price and refused point-blank.

'No need to prove it, I am certain it is fake.'

They are all rats in the sewer; it is impossible for them to openly run a telegraph company.

'Cleric' was trying his best to tout the value of the manuscript, but those who heard it had little interest.

"The murder case of Hake Benjamin. He was a timber merchant. The newspapers said he was robbed and killed in July, but I know that the real Hake died in April, and a 'Pupa' Extraordinary has been impersonating him ever since."

After all, they wanted Occult content more, and they lacked the capital to research and apply for patents.

"If his description is true, this manuscript is actually quite valuable..." Clark chuckled: "However, he must prove the authenticity of the manuscript and the feasibility of what is described... If it is all true, perhaps only 'Jazz' here can afford it."

Aaron was speechless, feeling for a moment that the human skin in his hand might not be easy to sell.

After all, just by Aaron's notebook alone, it would be impossible to push civilization to its current height.

Aaron, meanwhile, felt awkward listening, feeling as if he were about to see a copy of his own manuscript.

Everyone present was a Wild Beyonder, and they had no affection for the official institutions that persecuted them, chiming in one after another: "Exactly!"

"Not just the nobles, even that 'Founder', 'Sun King' Arthur... the Chosen One, the One Who Gathers Glory, isn't he also an Extraordinary in secret?"

"As far as I know, those ancient noble families must possess one or more Secret Transmissions. Why don't those Hyenas go find them? They only know how to harass civilians, heh... The Police Station is the same; they prioritize reports from the rich and noble, but ignore the civilians!"

This effectively promoted the development of world technology.

Clark Das lowered his voice and said: "I can basically confirm that 'Cleric' is an ordinary person. I don't know why, but he has an unusual craving for the 'Yao' path, yet he hasn't obtained what he wanted after participating in the gatherings several times... Other Secret Transmissions have appeared, but he has no interest in them."

"However, he needs a 'Yao' Secret Transmission; is he not an Extraordinary yet? Or is it prepared for a friend or relative?"

This is a very speechless matter.

'Jazz' sighed and said, revealing that he had extensive connections in the upper echelons and the Police Station: "The situation here is very complicated and involves other Extraordinaries, so the Secret Police have stepped up their patrols."

"This is... quite a lot of information."

And Clark glanced at him secretly, his eyes playful.

"I don't have a 'Yao' Secret Transmission on me, but I am indeed interested in it. If you are prepared to sell it for Pounds, I will give you a price that will satisfy you."

'This means I could try, but sorry... I have no interest in my own manuscript.'

Originally, no matter how powerful or Weird those existences were... Aaron was not very afraid, precisely because most of them were insane and lacked reason.

But now, those Hours seem to possess a certain degree of reason and can play conspiracies.

This gave Aaron a sense of urgency in his heart.
