Chapter 179: The Bar (Please Subscribe)

The Fire Dragon Bar is located in the docklands, and the environment is quite complex.

After getting off work, many commoners, small vendors, dock laborers, and wage earners like to gather in such places, seeking solace in alcohol and women at cheap bars.

After a day of heavy labor and the frustration of being scolded by their superiors, the cheapest ginger beer in the bar—added with ginger powder and containing only about 5% alcohol—is the most popular, because it is cheap enough!

It is so cheap that one penny can buy two full, large glasses, and it has a unique taste, at least stimulating and spicy enough!

After getting off work, Percy changed into a trench coat, put on a black hat, pulled down the brim, paced back and forth at the entrance of the bar a few times, and finally walked into the Fire Dragon Bar.

After much thought, he still decided to come to keep the appointment with the Invisible Cult; this was also to investigate more intelligence.

Upon entering the bar, one could clearly feel a heatwave mixed with the pungent odors of perfume, body odor, and alcohol rushing toward them, causing Percy to fan the air in front of him in disgust.

A thought emerged in Percy's mind.

Aaron curled the corners of his mouth, carrying a hint of a smile.

The whereabouts of that Legendary Count is something the entire Mysterious world has been keeping an eye on, but unfortunately, no matter what form of divination or research is used, not a single clue can be found. Never did he expect that this cult would actually find information on the other party's Lingmu; this will trigger an earthquake in the Mysterious world!!

But even thinking of this, Liliyat felt no annoyance at being used.

If this intelligence were handed over to the Green Banyan Council, they would surely mobilize their entire force, sparing no cost for it.

Percy suddenly felt Aaron's mischievous sense of humor, and his heart tightened.

He followed Aaron out without changing his expression, arriving on the street outside.

After all, there should only be one or two secret gatherings held recently!

What she was struggling with internally was another thought.

When they walked to a small alley, Aaron suddenly ducked inside.

Liliyat suddenly understood a little why the cult had recruited her.

'Has it finally come? The purpose of the cult!'

'He is suspicious of me; is this a way to observe if there are any followers by taking a detour?'

"A gathering? Being followed?"

Liliyat asked, full of interest.

But for Percy, it was like a large bomb exploding in his mind; he seemed to see the prototype of a heaven-shaking conspiracy!

"One penny!" the bartender said with a smile while wiping a glass.

Upon meeting, Liliyat expressed her gratitude full of appreciation.

Aaron said in a solemn tone.

'The ancestor is indeed dead, but should I tell my family and the Parliament this news?'

"After all, for a Bloodline descendant to explore an ancestor's Lingmu might unlock some Secrecy; in Occultism, bloodline is a very important connection and key!"

Percy could imagine how many organizations and how many powerhouses would gather in Green Forest City once this news spread, and what a huge mess it would cause!

Having obtained this huge secret, he had to shamefully admit at this moment that he was indeed afraid, and a feeling of shrinking back arose.

Professional instinct immediately made Percy prick up his ears; his intuition told him it had something to do with today's bombing.

'Why say I am from the Investigation Bureau?'

Aaron smiled slightly and introduced the two: "This is a Temporary Member we have planted in the Investigation Bureau—well, you can choose a codename for yourself—and this is Miss 'White Dove', a Formal Member of the cult!"

A cold wind whistled past, making one instinctively want to wrap their coat tighter.

"A mausoleum?"

Liliyat instantly became sad; this legendary missing ancestor was dead after all...

'This is a member we planted in the Investigation Bureau? He doesn't seem to have gained the trust of Mr. Yasuo...' Liliyat's gaze toward Percy immediately became more vigilant.

"A glass of rye beer!"

Because if it weren't for the cult, she might have died under an Evil Spirit Curse long ago.

"Excavating a mausoleum?"

"Because I have the Sotos Family bloodline along with 'Sting Sword' and am a Purple-Eyed One, it was relatively easy to join the cult; is this in preparation for subsequent exploration?"

Percy followed him in and discovered it was a dead end; at the very end of the wall, a lady wearing a hood and hiding her face was waiting—it was exactly Liliyat Doren!

Percy listened intently, feeling slightly excited; his undercover work had finally made progress!

Percy said to the bartender standing behind the bar; with his salary, he naturally looked down on that cheapest ginger beer that only tasted spicy.

"Crow, call me Crow."

Percy learned from Miss White Dove's nickname and chose one for himself.

Without waiting for the two to answer, he stated the answer: "It is that Count who stirred up the Mysterious wave, the Legend in the Mysterious world—Aaron Sotos; our organization's goal this time is his Lingmu!"

Aaron looked at their expressions of excitement, shock, and fear, and continued playfully: "Of course, finding the information on the Lingmu, determining its location, and the subsequent exploration are still a long way off... So, you must all take action for this, search for clues and materials, and prepare for the excavation of the Lingmu!"

"You're welcome!"

"Today, I had you two come over to tell you why our Invisible Cult has come to Green Forest City to develop members here. It all has only one purpose... and it is about to arrive!"

Indeed, why would such a high-end organization as the Invisible Cult suddenly pay attention to a remote city in the Invis Kingdom and continuously develop new members? There must be some purpose in this, which made Liliyat very interested.

Just as Percy picked up the huge glass mug and tasted the hops, a man in his thirties with an ordinary appearance and azure eyes suddenly came to his side.

"Mr. Yasuo, thank you for the organization resolving the follower for me last time."

'That's right, it's him, the cult member who appeared that night! He deliberately chose a crowded place to meet... is it to use ordinary people as shields? How insidious!'

However, as a member of a secret organization, leaking important intelligence to family and other organizations was clearly equivalent to betrayal!

Therefore, Liliyat was incomparably hesitant and conflicted...

Aaron's pace was fast and he did not stop, forcing Percy to keep up.

Percy cursed inwardly, but Aaron's voice reached his ears: "Let's go!"

"Our organization was initially founded by a group of ascetics who believed that one must go through the Invisible Art to better understand the real world and complete the Sublimation of the soul... Therefore, we pursue everything that can be cultivated to become stronger, such as high-level Curse techniques, Ancient Secrecy, etc... And what is the greatest treasure in Green Forest City?"

The two walked one after the other, circling around the docklands.

The news from the Hidden Realm these past few days left her feeling deeply fearful: "I never expected that a Secret organization would actually target that gathering and even track all of its members; if not for the intervention of Lord God's Messenger, perhaps I would have brought disaster back to my family."

Because that was their ancestor, the source of their bloodline, the place of their Glory, and their everything!

As a descendant of the Sotos Family, there was always a special feeling toward that ancestor.

Percy's body trembled suddenly, as if he had returned to that Nightmare-like night once again.

"Mr. Yasuo, what is our organization's main objective in Green Forest City?"

"Crow, you continue to lurk in the Investigation Bureau, gather relevant information and the Investigation Bureau's movements! I will contact you."

Aaron waved his hand: "Now... the gathering is over, you may leave."
