Chapter 221: Masks (4800 Bonus)
This "Carnivore's Satchel," of course, was also a trophy obtained from the Slaughter Pig Scheme at the Lingmu.
It originally belonged to the Bone Worship Society president—"Man-Bone" Sipeite, though now that secret society has been completely finished from top to bottom.
The Bone Worship Society was also the first Mysterious organization to be completely wiped out by Aaron.
The "Carnivore's Satchel" could originally only hold flesh-and-blood items, but after Aaron modified it with the ability of a "Maker" and added some materials, the space inside shrank by half, but it no longer rejected items like metals or potions.
An ordinary "Craftsman," or even a "Mechanical Mentor," would likely be unable to achieve this.
That Aaron could achieve such a perfect modification was mainly due to the Purification of the "Spirit of Delusion."
The negative effect, or rather the price, of using the "Carnivore's Satchel" is quite mild; one just needs to put in some fresh flesh and blood every so often to keep it fed.
Inside the satchel, it not only contains a large amount of Magical Item materials and Non-human Grade Strange Objects, but also some daily clothing and supplies, as well as over 8,000 Pounds in cash!
"After going to Plymouth, I still need to find a 'Light' society like the Sunset School... My next target, 'Daybreak' would be best... This is also in preparation for advancing to the Fourth Primordial Substance."
Bruce watched as one hollow face skin after another was quickly finished in Aaron's nimble hands, a look of amazement appearing on his face.
"What are you doing?"
"In the Investigation Bureau's files, I am a suspected 'Evil Spirit Possessed' existence; pulling out Aokelaier would scare you to death!"
And noticing that Aaron had finished the second Human Skin Mask, he suddenly realized: "Wait... crafting Magical Items, even temporary ones, Aaron... could it be that you have already opened the Third Primordial Substance and become a 'Craftsman'? This... this is incredible, it's only been half a year, right?"
"Going to the Bone Worship Society to collect taxes before was only a small part of it; the real bulk came from the sudden wealth in the Lingmu..."
Such a huge harvest made even Aaron feel a restless urge to go and do another job.
He also knew that the previous Aaron had not found the subsequent path.
Aaron also discovered that after being purified by the "Spirit of Delusion," the negative effects of Magical Items would be greatly weakened, basically leaving only a small requirement for Spirituality to maintain them.
"What does this count as? An Extraordinary who has been played as a chess piece by an 'Immortal,' no matter how outrageous their performance is, it is not worth being surprised..."
"Of course... if you count the spiritual essence, Talismans, and Magical Items on them... I could probably compete for this year's newly minted rich man in Green Forest City? Even in the whole of Invis, I could rank among them..."
However, he was not stupid after all, knowing that Aaron might have provoked some matters and needed to change his identity.
"So that's how it is, congratulations on finding a school." Bruce sincerely congratulated his friend.
At this moment, these Human Skin Masks were not worn on faces, just a flattened human face, and he could not recognize what they looked like.
Therefore, even though Bruce watched Aaron craft these masks, he could not recognize Aaron after he put on a mask.
Watching Aaron lay out the materials that looked like human skin, Bruce looked at the closed curtains and suddenly felt a bit hair-raising.
For many Craftsmen, this is an incredible thing.
"But... I don't have a 'net' powerful enough anymore... Hmm, I have to find another sucker like Roberts to get wool from other deities... Roberts is a good man."
Aaron chuckled and added in his heart: "For example, the Sunset School! That Craftsman Brotherhood likely has similar methods too... So, I'm afraid this world also has some 'Secret Second Generations'?"
He remembered his teacher saying that Aaron was only a beginner, and that was back in July or August!
For example, on Sipeite's person, there was an Invis Royal Bank draft with a face value of 2,000 Pounds!
What made Aaron feel a bit regretful was that Sasuluofei, the Moon Witch, Ghoul Chikatiro, and others did not have much money on them; perhaps at their stage, they no longer cared about ordinary money, and no matter where they went, their subordinates would naturally prepare everything.
After all, with over a hundred Extraordinaries, even if each person only carried 10 Pounds in cash, it would add up to thousands of Pounds in wealth.
And the current appearance should be that he has joined a powerful "Light" school and is highly valued!
That is to say, the other party achieved the accumulation and leap of two Primordial Substances in half a year!
In the Mysterious world, this is simply unimaginable!
After all, the accumulation of Spirituality is often accompanied by the influence of madness, and every time the Primordial Substance is raised, it is a total explosion of this mad trait!
After an Extraordinary struggles to raise a layer of Primordial Substance, they often need to spend an even longer time to calm the influence of the mad trait before planning the accumulation and promotion of the next layer of Primordial Substance.
But now, sitting in front of Bruce is an Extraordinary who opened three Primordial Substances in half a year!
"Hehe... you are too surprised; the 'Light' path is inherently good at Purification... In some Mysterious societies, there are special rituals that can accelerate the reduction of madness after the Primordial Substance is raised..."
But this is the other party's secret, and Bruce kept in mind the principles of the Mysterious world: don't ask what you shouldn't ask!
"Hmm, I still have to recreate Yasuo's mask; the original Magical Item's Spirituality is nearly exhausted... After all, it was just a practice piece when I was a 'Light Shepherd,' and the materials were incomplete; this time, they must all be made into permanent effects."
The people from the Investigation Bureau are not fools; they will soon be able to find out that "Aaron Yugesi" went to Plymouth.
Speaking of which, that Archbishop not only contributed his own remains, becoming the main material for Aaron to craft a Non-human Grade Magical Item, but also contributed the polluting power of the "Lord of Hidden Corpses"; he is truly a selfless person, a person who has detached himself from low-level interests.
Aaron slandered in his heart, and after finishing the Human Skin Mask, he put the remaining materials and the Spirit Wall into the "Carnivore's Satchel."
"It's truly magical... eh?"
And Yasuo's appearance is likely already on file at the Investigation Bureau; if he doesn't want to cause any big commotion in Plymouth, changing his identity is very necessary.
Not to mention, the leaders of those large forces are even more shockingly wealthy.
Aaron answered without raising his head.
It may not be that easy for Aaron to find another fat sheep.
And when Aaron wears it later, he will obviously use potions to make minor changes such as hair color.
"Crafting a few masks."
Promoting to a Non-human "Furnace" requires the blessing or gift of a "Light" deity.
Aaron actually already has some ideas about this.
This kind of blessing is not granting essence, but only requires a sliver of power to be infused; then he can imitate the last time against the "Lord of Hidden Corpses," taking advantage of the fact that "Daybreak" is unfamiliar with him to steal a little bit of this existence's power to satisfy the ritual requirements!
