Chapter 116: Gathering Newcomers (1100 Added)

August 16, Monday night.

Aaron arrived at the Iver Bridge District again, in front of the iron-ringed wooden door inside the alley.

Knock, knock!

He knocked on the door with the iron ring, and the small window on the door opened at once, revealing the deformed and ugly gatekeeper.

Seeing the "Rapier" mask on Aaron's face, he opened the wooden door directly.

After entering the underground gathering spot, Aaron sat down on a high-backed chair and scanned the room; he did not see Clark Das, but he did discover a familiar mask.

It belonged to the "Cleric," who was none other than Nicholas Inamu, the choir cleric of the Green Forest Cathedral whose true identity Aaron had discovered in reality!

"I... I might be able to provide some peripheral help, such as determining the era or something."

The corners of Aaron's mouth twitched beneath his mask, but he still nodded in response.

"I... I have no needs!"

And as soon as Aaron heard this, he knew that this "Apprentice" was Bruce Field.

Clark did not respond to the provocation, saying with a chuckle: "This is the 'Apprentice'!"

It was only later, after the establishment of the Fabri Dynasty, that those great Sotos nobles became much wealthier and had the ability to build magnificent Lingmu.

The other party had clearly also considered the possibility that the Fabri Dynasty might not exist hundreds of years later, and thus chose to build a secret Lingmu.

Bruce stood up and said, stuttering.

"I cannot determine the specific era of the Lingmu; that Lingmu has very formidable mechanisms and guardians... I could only wander around the periphery."

At this moment, the "Gentleman" had already arrived at the center of the venue carrying a silver candlestick; he scanned the room, chuckled, and said: "It seems we have another new member. Thanks to the contribution of 'Knowledge,' I now announce... the gathering begins!"

"H-hello, everyone."

He stood up, scanned the room, and spoke calmly: "I need one complete feather of a Sun Bird, or 30 grams of Sun God stone powder, or at least a quarter gallon of blessed 'Yao' holy water... This can be paid for with Pounds, Secret Transmission, or my assistance."

Not long after, it was Aaron's turn.

What this "Beast" discovered should be the tomb of a great Sotos noble from the Fabri Dynasty.

The traders stood up one by one, either selling materials or seeking knowledge.

'Is this... already satisfied elsewhere?'

"Haha... I like him!"

The "Beast" replied sullenly: "But this time, once I am prepared, I will definitely be able to go deep into that Lingmu!"

The "Beast" rested his legs on the table and said quite roughly.

Clearly, Clark had told him about Aaron's situation.

The "Beast's" triumphant words came through.

Aaron was secretly alerted and glanced at Clark.

And the previous adventure had also made him quite reassured about Aaron.

After waiting for another moment, he saw "Knowledge" Clark Das leading another newcomer in.

"Heh, Knowledge... you've been very fond of bringing in newcomers lately."

'Strictly speaking, that descendant of Jinni is just as unlucky as me; both of us were dug out while sleeping soundly...'

Aaron felt relieved inside after hearing this: 'Lots of funerary objects? Oh... then it's fine.'

Aaron was complaining inwardly when he heard the "Gentleman's" voice: "Heh... the Lingmu of the Sotos nobles... actually, in the first hundred years of the Fabri Dynasty, the development of Occultism was relatively slow, possibly because it was in the early stage of the Spirit Tide... If it were a great noble from the later period, it would be one hundred percent related to the Extraordinary, perhaps even with precious Magical Items and Occultism classics as funerary objects..."

Aaron noticed that when it was the "Cleric's" turn, he chose to give up and no longer craved the "Yao" inheritance.

While speaking, he took out a small transparent glass bottle: "The trading item I brought today is—Spirit-Repelling Oil! A quite effective ointment; when using it, you only need to apply it to a silver weapon to bring a certain amount of damage to vengeful spirits, ghosts, and other Spirit Bodies... 50 Pounds a bottle!"

"Of course, my acquisition from last time is still valid; I am still acquiring materials rich in 'Yao' Spirituality and mysterious knowledge..."

The "Apprentice" said nervously, drawing a round of laughter that was unclear whether it contained goodwill or malice.

He noticed that he was somewhat tempted, but he didn't say anything, appearing very restrained.

He scanned the room: "Now, is there anyone else who wants to join? You can contact me later! I am very welcoming..."

"This will make our gathering more convenient..."

Besides this, Miss "White Dove" and Mr. "Beast" were also there.

After the "Gentleman" finished speaking, he looked at Bruce: "Mr. 'Apprentice,' it is your turn."

After he sat down, an Extraordinary next to him immediately stood up impatiently: "I need 500 grams of dried branches from a man-eating willow..."

"Those who want it can trade with me later; I brought three bottles in total."

"Very good!"

It was a pity that clues were still found by later generations.

"It's actually the secret Lingmu of the Sotos Family!?"

He heard "Knowledge" Clark let out an exclamation, seemingly filled with deep wonder and regret.

'Something is wrong; either the Lingmu is abnormally dangerous, or the "Beast" has set a trap to lure leeks in and kill them!'

The "Beast" sat down with satisfaction, and then, a black-robed person next to him immediately stood up: "I have..."

It must be said that he was very poor; the tomb was destitute, and there were simply no funerary objects at all.

"Not bad, it is indeed that Extraordinary family that ruled an era. Just in the periphery of the Lingmu, I found quite a few precious funerary objects, among which there was no lack of Spirit Materials..."

The "Apprentice" shrank his neck, appearing afraid and extremely uncomfortable with the environment here.

Then, he saw Aaron and immediately nodded.

The "Beast" laughed and said: "He reminds me of a coward who often got his ass fucked when I was adventuring at sea back then... That was truly a pretty little guy!"

Clearly, this "Gentleman" seemed to be targeting the needs of some clients from last time and brought out a unique potion.

These were the core materials and substitutes he found for advancing to "Light Shepherd" by comparing current Occultism knowledge with ancient inheritances.

Clearly, this Miss White Dove seemed to have a scholarly family background; perhaps she was also a "Mystery" Practitioner.

In reality, the nobles of Green Forest are all very poor and do not have any remarkable tombs.

Miss "White Dove" raised her hand and said.

He muttered to himself in his heart, and then heard the voice of Beast: "My last exploration mission was a Great Success! I discovered a tomb belonging to the Sotos Family!"

Aaron's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that my tomb has been discovered?"

Clearly, he had also thought of these concerns.

After finishing speaking, Aaron discovered that apart from "Beast," no one else had any reaction, and he could not help but feel a little disappointed.
