Chapter 133: Transaction (Dedicated to Alliance Leader Yu Sheng Jiang Xiang Luan!)

~7 min read 1,247 words

There are no contract items with the "Jazz," who can only serve as a referee and notary.

Once you ask him to guarantee it, you inevitably leak the intelligence content to him as well.

"Nicholas still values the reputation of the Holy Spirit Church highly; he has deep feelings for this sect..."

Aaron silently noted down yet another piece of intelligence and said, "The true mastermind is still hiding within the Green Forest Cathedral!"

Nicholas did not show any signs of being unusual.

Perhaps he had long harbored suspicions in his heart, but had simply been unwilling to admit them.

"Finally, the most critical point."

Aaron sighed inwardly; this Cleric Inamu was an honest man.

"I suspect... this guy only has 450 Pounds on his entire person..."

Because the quote for the Sunbird Feather given to him by the forces behind him was 700 Pounds!

"Very good, deal!"

"I'll perform an anti-divination ritual as soon as I get back!"

Nicholas gasped, clearly also aware of the terror of such an existence.

"So... investigate carefully; I don't want you to just die outright!"

The "Hound" continued to ask.

"Even without these, I was frozen for a thousand years by the essence of the 【Scarlet Creator】, I possess many Ancient secrets, I am the founder of Occultism... these blessings and influences in the Mysterious sense are the most powerful sources of interference; even if placed on an ordinary person, it would not be so easy to divine them..."

If the person opposite were an ordinary person, it would remain cold.

Just as Aaron happily pressed the box in his hand, preparing to plan his advancement after returning, his vision darkened, and a black-robed figure appeared.

"It's all the fault of that mastermind at the Green Forest Church; if not for his existence, how could I have failed to collect religious taxes and had to use intelligence fees to offset part of the costs..."

"Shall we chat?"

At this moment, the "Hound" felt the Talisman's touch like warm water and made a judgment in his heart: "A beginner at the First Primordial Substance, the 'Beast' himself is not low in strength and has a Magical Item; it is unlikely he died at his hands... however, I must continue to probe."

"'Rapier'... has the 'Beast' traded with you?"

Aaron let out a low laugh.

"Unconcealable malice and desire for slaughter... strangely familiar... an Extraordinary of the 'Red' path?"

Nicholas looked at the shriveled envelope, suddenly somewhat suspicious, but still picked up the banknotes and began to count them one by one.

Perhaps at the level of anti-divination, he is comparable to those Hidden Existences and Aeons!

"The Spirit Material is not dangerous... so, are they a 'beacon'? Not the low-level kind of tracking that relies on scent... but rather wanting to establish a connection with me in terms of Occultism, and then confirm it through divination?"

Aaron chuckled and continued, "Regarding the strength of the mastermind... suspected of opening the Fourth Primordial Substance — 【Vitality】! That is, the Non-human level!"

After walking out of the "Golden Marigold" private room, Aaron muttered to himself.

The "Hound" blocked Aaron's path, his body radiating blatant malice.

In reality, his intuition told him that even if the other party possessed a "Diviner" above the fourth level, they might not necessarily be able to divine him.

The "Hound" had a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Hmm, connecting this to the fact that the 'Beast' is also a 'Red' Extraordinary, I am even more convinced that this 'Hound' belongs to the same organization as him, and they are both of the 'Red' path."

Aaron nodded as if he hadn't felt anything at all.

Aaron spoke to himself in his heart and nodded: "Okay."

At the same time, he suddenly felt a bit heartbroken; for this transaction, in order to buy intelligence, he not only had to pay the agency fee but also needed to subsidize a significant amount of money himself.

He immediately took a thick envelope from his pocket, counted out 450 Pounds in banknotes from it, placed them on the table, and casually took back the copper box containing the "Sunbird Feather."

Even Clark, whose combat power was comparable to the Third Primordial Substance, did not make Aaron feel very dangerous.

Aaron said candidly: "I have many more Spirit Materials later on, and I might need your channels to help... so, how much do you think this intelligence is worth? Intelligence regarding a Non-human Existence is quite expensive, you know..."

The "Hound" casually pulled open an empty private room nearby and walked inside.

Aaron followed him, hearing the door slam shut with a bang.

After tossing a coin to confirm there were no followers behind him, Aaron returned to Golden Rose Street No. 33.

Therefore, he felt not the slightest guilt about selling out the other party's intelligence.

But even if the body does not have the status of a "Spirit of Falsehood," as long as one can graze a trace of "Secret Source Power," one can obtain extremely terrifying protection.

And the sense of danger from the Green Forest Cathedral far exceeded that of Clark, so there was only one possibility—it involved a powerhouse of the Fourth Primordial Substance, it involved a Non-human Existence!

"Whew..."

After all, he himself did not know what his essence actually counted as.

According to the level of the Primordial Substance, it would emit different temperatures.

Furthermore, it can only detect up to the Third Primordial Substance — 【Sublimation】! At that time, the Talisman would be as scalding as a branding iron.

"When you last saw him, what did you say to him?"

He struggled to suppress his blatant malice and let out a hoarse laugh: "Regarding the 'Beast' trade, we can continue; you know, we are a team!"

"Are you suspecting me?" Aaron made his voice sound agitated, carrying a hint of fear: "How could I be the murderer? That would have no benefit for me..."

Climbing into the room through the window, he opened the suitcase and looked at the pieces of contaminated Spirit Material inside, his expression suddenly somewhat mysterious: "What a pity, if I were an Extraordinary of the 'Shadow' path, I could completely use the method of 'Dream Divination' to clearly see their origins... by then, everything about the organization behind that 'Beast' would have nowhere to hide before me."

A moment later, he emerged from a dark alleyway, carrying a suitcase filled with various contaminated Spirit Materials and the box containing the "Sunbird Feather."

"Non-human Existence?"

"Heh... if there were benefits, would you be willing to do it?" The "Hound" reached into his bosom and pressed against a certain metal Talisman.

This was not a lie.

Nicholas let out a deep, long breath, as if wanting to exhale the fear within his body out of himself: "It is worth 300 Pounds, no higher."

It comes from a Magical Item, but its ability is very useless; it can only sense the level of an Extraordinary's primordial substance at close range.

"I can."

"Yes, I am interested in some Spirit Materials..." Aaron answered truthfully, "It is a pity he died... causing me to lose a channel..."

"But for now... nothing is more important than advancing to a Light Shepherd!"

Aaron checked the room and confirmed that the maids were all in a deep sleep, a trace of emotion rising in his heart: "Finally, I am about to unlock the Second Primordial Substance..."
