Chapter 254: Signboard (6200 Add-on)

Night.

The Hunter Bar was brightly lit.

Isabet worked while keeping an eye on William, feeling that he seemed even more exhausted than usual.

Although this colleague occasionally said some strange things to her, he was still a kind-hearted person.

Seeing this, Isabet cast a concerned look his way.

William, with his pale face, shook his head to signal that he was fine.

He was just too tired.

Aaron nodded and saw Gantis walking toward him.

"One of my... followers, well, he represents me in the market!"

After all, Gelin was a non-human combat force!

The two entered a reception room, and as soon as they sat down, a waiter brought tea.

"Haha, just a joke. Actually... I plan to train you to become the manager of our bar, specifically to entertain the Extraordinary."

William suddenly felt a sense of shared misery as a wage slave.

Gantis's eyes became slightly deep; a spokesperson for a powerful Extraordinary?

'After witnessing your divination ability, I don't think I can run away...'

Office.

"Are those Magical Items also crafted by you? I have many questions regarding casting that I would like to discuss with you."

"Each layer of residence represents the different permissions an Extraordinary has within the castle!"

Aaron handed the previously agreed-upon potions to William: "There are many swindlers here. I hope you won't be foolish enough to fall into a trap and lose my goods, otherwise, you had better pray you can escape my pursuit..."

Although Aaron was experienced in this regard, he had always worked alone and was looking to exchange ideas with an orthodox 'Craftsman'. Most importantly, he wanted to confirm the limits of the other party's abilities to better disguise himself, so he was happy to engage in the exchange.

Aaron replied with a smile.

William's heart was filled with the grief and indignation of facing a black-hearted capitalist.

"Now I have a task for you: find someone named Alexander or Lanli Tanisi, give these potions to them, and use my name."

Gantis wore a smile, occasionally discussing questions about casting Magical Items.

"But I didn't say I wasn't."

Aaron walked in front, letting William heave a long sigh of relief; so the boss didn't have that hobby, that was truly great.

"It is truly... wonderful."

All sorts of gossip about the Sodom Royal Family immediately surfaced in William's mind.

Aaron casually dismissed William and followed Gantis to the second floor of the castle.

After entering the hall, looking at the bustling crowd, the various long tables, and even the Spirit Material on them, William felt dazzled.

Poor Mr. William Xiaer was in a state of confusion.

"It seems you are highly valued by that Mr. Halsey, Gantis."

Then, they went up another floor, arriving at the more secluded Third Layer of the castle.

When the door opened again, they arrived in a castle corridor.

"Understood, understood, it's all the boss's orders."

"A mask... Boss, shouldn't you give me a mask?"

"Haha, if it were you, Gelin, you would surely be valued twice as much by Mr. Halsey. After all, you are not only a 'Craftsman' with exquisite skills but also possess terrifying strength..."

William looked as if he were about to cry, taking the potions with a face full of grief and indignation: "I will complete the task."

Then, he saw Aaron put on a Silver Mask, close the wooden stall door, and tap a symbol on the back three times in succession.

Later on, as many questions were delved into, Gantis's expression changed from disbelief to shock, to emotion, and finally, the gaze he directed at Aaron actually carried a hint of respect.

'So Plymouth is this dangerous; any bar owner can easily manipulate me...'

But he did not care about this.

At this moment, Mr. Baerjin, who had once drugged him, walked over with a glass of beer and smiled: "Sorry about what happened before. This one is on me."

He sighed like a bumpkin, then looked at the Extraordinary whose face was half-covered by a mask and half-exposed, suddenly feeling danger.

"Is this the Black Queen District? It's really..."

Aaron stroked the mask on his face and said: "I wear this just for the style, understand? Is it shameful to show one's true face to others?"

'What exactly were my previous efforts and bitter searching for?'

Aaron saw William knock and enter, nodding: "Just in time, come with me to the washroom."

After all, the Professor, Luosi, and others all had their own circles of friends.

Aaron glared, and William followed the order like a conditioned reflex, his body honestly walking into the toilet stall.

"Gelin, my friend, you have hidden it from me for so long."

He signaled to the shadows, and a waiter in a tuxedo nodded, indicating he would take good care of the other party and ensure they wouldn't suffer too much of a loss in the market.

Well, William, a country bumpkin who had just arrived in Plymouth, had heard of the decadent life of the Sodom Royal Family.

William followed behind Aaron, whispering a plea.

Especially in the washroom, when Aaron walked into a toilet stall and even beckoned to him.

Gantis complimented.

Then, Baerjin watched him finish the beer before looking at him with a sympathetic gaze and saying slowly: "The boss wants you to go to his office after you finish your work."

"Who is this?" Gantis looked at William Xiaer.

'The place where I work is actually the underground entrance to the Black Queen District...'

Aaron blinked his eyes.

Aaron had long been mentally prepared for this news to spread.

A bitter smile appeared on Gantis's face: "You didn't tell me that you were that 'Craftsman'..."

He complimented, "Mr. Bote... you truly are a master of forging."

At this moment, the expression on William's face was quite spectacular.

And it seemed Gantis had many connections within Halsey's Moving Castle; someone would always tell him.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Aaron looked to both sides, feeling a sense of quiet seclusion, as if completely cut off from the two levels of space below.

Aaron said: "So you cannot be afraid of people seeing this face of yours... our bar's future expansion into the business of the Extraordinary will depend on you. Starting today, you are promoted. From now on, you can be promoted to manager just like Baerjin. He is responsible for daily operations and the bounty hunter business, and you will be responsible for the Extraordinary business... I need your face as a signboard!"

"Understood."

At the same time, he also felt a bit of heartache.

Gantis said enthusiastically.

"Welcome to the Black Queen District, rookie!"

Gantis led the way in front, saying to Aaron.

"Very good."

'I suspect you just want to squeeze out my remaining labor!'

This could also explain the reason for the other party's more respectful attitude.

"Why wear a mask?"

Only a 'Craftsman' would know the prowess of another 'Craftsman', especially a Craftsman in the Mysterious Realm. Beyond possessing profound forging techniques, knowing how to avoid corruption, how to purify materials, and even how to utilize a Ritual to cleverly borrow power from the Ages, were all profound branches of learning that required long-term study and the accumulation of experience.

Such a young 'Craftsman' was truly rare to the extreme.
