Chapter 255: Commission (6400 added, seeking monthly votes)

On the third floor of the castle, inside the reception room.

Aaron exchanged words with Gantis for another ten minutes or so before a faint smile appeared on his face: "Gantis, you asked me here, I'm afraid it's not just for a chat, is it?"

A look of unnaturalness at being seen through appeared on Gantis's face, but he quickly admitted honestly: "Yes... Mr. Halsey would like to meet you."

As the owner of the castle, Halsey was clearly at least a Non-human Existence.

Without a life force that had undergone a qualitative change, one could not withstand the ravages of this castle's negative effects.

"Very well."

Aaron nodded.

Halsey said as if casually: "That Hunter Bar, are you the one managing it now?"

Aaron stood up to welcome him, showing politeness.

"This castle is quite magical, isn't it?" Halsey said: "It came from an adventure in my youth, and during that adventure, I not only obtained this castle but also acquired a strange Spirit World Coordinate... Yes, I brought this castle out from the Spirit World, and at that time, its halls, corridors, and bedrooms were still haunted by some very strange Spirit World Creatures; they were not powerful, but they possessed the ability to 'teleport', making them very difficult to capture."

Gantis hurriedly stood up and walked out.

Not long after, a middle-aged nobleman dressed in aristocratic attire, with brown curly hair and a slightly round face, pushed the door open and entered.

Halsey's eyes were gentle, and a mild smile often lingered at the corners of his mouth; he was the type who easily made people feel favorably inclined toward him.

The two drank tea for another half hour and also tasted the court desserts that had recently become very popular in Plymouth.

"Yes."

Through this matter, confirming Gelin's strength, as well as the other party's intention to settle down, was the most important thing!

"Then... I wonder if you, Gelin, are still accepting orders for Magical Items?"

He did not say much more, and Aaron did not ask, only smiling: "That is truly a novel experience... Lord Halsey, what exactly do you wish to have crafted as a Magical Item?"

Aaron pretended to be startled, but in his heart, he was clear: 'The castle's negative effects? I hope he doesn't get buried deep underground...'

Halsey wanted to open his mouth to explain.

Aaron took off his mask, revealing the appearance of Gelin Bote.

Most Secret Transmissions in the Mysterious world have pitfalls; there is no possibility of being self-taught.

Halsey mentioned it lightly and then said no more; to him, the destruction of the 'Vulture' was just a small matter.

"Lord Halsey!"

Gantis, however, took a sip of black tea without the slightest concern and said: "Mr. Halsey is often like this; you'll get used to it, Gelin..."

"What a truly magical material... Crafting a Magical Item capable of teleporting people? That is indeed difficult..."

Gantis introduced it, casually taking out an eyeball and tossing it into mid-air.

Then, his figure went 'whoosh' and disappeared in front of Aaron, disappeared...

The pure white eyeball vanished instantly, and the next moment, it returned to the box, rotating around the huge white eye like a satellite.

In any case, Gelin Bote had nothing to do with the person living at Fenghuang jie 27 hao, nor with Aaron Yugesi!

Halsey finally got to the main topic of today's meeting.

"Of course, but Mr. Halsey, don't you have Master Gantis?" Aaron looked at Gantis in surprise.

After finishing, he gave a self-deprecating smile: "Today's incident was fine, but in the past, there was a time when I opened my eyes after lying on the soft bed in my bedroom, only to find myself lying in a sewer... That was truly a very terrible experience."

And Aaron was not prepared to hide it.

"This..."

As the controller of the black market, how could the other party ignore such a large variable as himself?

"That's great, please wait a moment."

Halsey reached into a dusty pocket at his waist and pulled out a huge box; the surface had a layer of mysterious Talismans, with symbolic signs representing 'Secrecy' and 'Seal' on it.

"No, no, it's not Non-human Grade, but a special Extraordinary Magical Item... I have always had an idea..."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Halsey, who had changed into a different set of clothes, walked in and apologized: "Sorry to have kept you waiting; this is a negative effect I have on me, and it has caused me a lot of trouble..."

"I am Halsey Quinn Enzuosi; you can just call me Halsey."

After chatting a few more sentences about topics like the local weather, Halsey held the teapot to refill Aaron's cup and asked in a joking tone.

"Was the 'Vulture' organization also destroyed by you?"

Ever since he exposed a portion of his strength in front of the professor and others, he had anticipated this day would come.

"Maige was too greedy before; I always felt he was going to have an accident."

Gantis smiled bitterly: "I am not confident in the Magical Item Mr. Halsey wants to make..."

Aaron looked at the empty seat opposite him, his expression looking somewhat blank as he looked at Gantis.

When Halsey chanted the incantation and unsealed the seal, Aaron opened the box and saw inside one after another strange—white eyeballs?

They were the size of a normal person's eyes, and like stars surrounding the moon, they circled a pure white eyeball the size of a soccer ball in the middle, each blooming with brilliant spiritual radiance.

"Of course."

Clearly, his pocket was also a spatial item.

"It wasn't until recently that I, with the help of some friends and the power of Magical Items, explored that location again and caught some... um... 'Sidi-fen Essence', that's the name my friend gave them... The materials they left behind have very magical properties, and I want to use them to craft a Magical Item with 'teleportation' functions."

However, Aaron felt that it was highly likely Halsey did not believe him.

"Could it be Non-human Grade?" Aaron pretended to be surprised: "I have no way to handle such an item..."

"To be self-taught to such a degree is truly remarkable," Halsey praised, without saying whether he believed it or not.

Of course, it is also easy to overlook its danger!

"I heard from Gantis that you, Gelin, are a 'Craftsman' who even he feels inferior to. I wonder which school you inherited from? Of course, if you feel it involves privacy, you don't have to answer..."

Aaron's eyes lit up as he listened: "Being able to come into contact with all kinds of novel materials is the long-cherished wish of every Craftsman. I wonder if I could take a look at the materials first."

"These Sidi-fen Essence eyeballs have a strange property; those small eyeballs are auxiliary eyes, and no matter how far apart they are, after injecting Spirituality, they will teleport back to the vicinity of the largest main eye..."

Ever since he decided to let William make an appearance, his relationship with himself, and his own relationship with the bar, could not be hidden from those with ulterior motives.

"I do not belong to any school of thought," Aaron shook his head and said, "I suppose it is self-taught..."

A look of hesitation appeared on Aaron's face.

"No... I already have this castle for the function of transporting people... The Magical Item I want should possess the function of transporting objects; it does not need to be capable of transporting living things... But in exchange, the transport distance must be as far as possible!"

Halsey said.
