Chapter 276: Beginning (Asking for subscriptions with an extra update!)

"But in reality, this regulation is not just a decadent rule; it possesses a certain rationality!"

Aaron thought silently to himself.

Because if one did not have the bloodline of those ancient nobles, one could not come into contact with profound Occultism knowledge and could not become a true Extraordinary.

And if one's own strength was not strong, going to be a general might result in being easily beheaded or assassinated by an enemy Extraordinary! Thereby leading to the rout of a battle.

Therefore, for the generals of this world, they must possess a certain Extraordinary Ability to protect themselves, only then having the leeway to command armies of thousands or even tens of thousands on the battlefield!

A representative example of this is Marshal Eisen Napolun.

Aaron stopped for a while in front of the Sotos cloak with slight interest, then headed to the second display stand to view the golden Scepter from the Fabri Dynasty period, which was said to be the burial object of a certain Witch Empress.

"Someone come, someone needs help!"

"Very well, sir."

The specialty dishes are hand-grabbed pancakes, chicken curry, and honey-roasted red ants.

"Queen Ma Li's necklace—the Ocean Heart!"

'Clark would probably be very interested in studying this...'

He vaguely guessed the 'Magician's' plan and had made corresponding arrangements.

Aaron looked at William and suddenly smiled: "After setting the trap, the only things left that matter are patience and waiting..."

To highlight the regional customs of South Innis, not only was the decor inclined toward a colonial style, but even the restaurant's waiters were mostly natives from the colonies.

Inside the exhibition hall, amidst the flow of people.

William bowed and agreed, knowing that his boss wanted to find a quiet environment for divination.

Aaron suddenly thought of Clark in his heart and could not help but feel somewhat silent.

That old gentleman was quickly lifted onto a stretcher and sent to the rest area behind the exhibition hall for treatment.

In the crowd, several plainclothes officers approached secretly; most of them were disguised Extraordinarys from the Investigation Bureau, and there were even members of the Royal Family intelligence department mixed in.

"Have you ever learned to hunt?"

William walked past many waiters, feeling that the way they looked at him was strange.

He did not dare to look at the other party's slightly revealing clothing and graceful body curves again, and slipped into the private room.

The docent's voice became low: "This queen is a famous tragic figure in Invis history. She was kind and easygoing, beautiful and generous, yet she did not have the favor of her king husband. Queen Ma Li often left the palace to sing, dance, and play with the commoners... She was deeply loved by the people, but in the end, she died in a palace rebellion. To this day, there is a famous sparkling wine produced by the royal manor named 'Queen Ma Li's Sigh', which is to commemorate this queen."

An elderly gentleman with gray hair, groomed meticulously, wearing a black formal suit, and leaning on a gold-inlaid cane, slowly paced to the front of the Ocean Heart display stand.

The docent said emotionally in an admiring tone: "As the great monarch who ended the dark and chaotic era, Sun King Arthur was very wise in his youth. His first crown was forged from iron and lead, without the decoration of gold and jewels, yet it highlighted the greatness of his character even more..."

'As expected, there are arrangements, and they are quite hidden and high-level...'

And in his hand, he was toying with a small colorful flag, on which was written 'Happy New Year'.

The docent took out a silver pocket watch, smiled, and stepped forward, signaling that the old gentleman should move on.

Aaron took a quick look around and finally left the exhibition hall with William: "Find a place to eat, I need a private room."

It looked plain and unadorned, and in some places, there were even traces of rust.

"The Founder, Sun King Arthur's Iron Crown!"

"Sir... Mr. Monite, I have already made the arrangements; no one will disturb you next." William closed the door and bowed.

About an hour later.

Especially those dark-skinned South Innis beauties; their fiery gazes made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

"It's a delayed-activation Talisman!"

He followed the crowd silently and came to another display stand. Behind the glass counter, a necklace made of countless diamonds and platinum hung on a white statue. At the very center was a blue diamond the size of a pigeon egg, shimmering with light under the lamps, attracting the gazes of countless ladies.

"Cough, cough... cough, cough..."

He looked at the brilliant necklace and the blue diamond at its center, his gaze gradually becoming obsessed.

"After Sun King Arthur, the Sodom Royal Family replaced it with another crown inlaid with gold and jewels, but without a doubt, this crown is unique!"

Then, on the third display stand, he saw an ordinary iron-black crown.

This restaurant is a famous high-end establishment in the Queen's District, known for its local dishes featuring South Innis flavors.

Aaron chose to dine at this restaurant for the sole reason that it was very close to the Royal Family exhibition hall.

'Shounan Fengqing' restaurant.

The guards responsible for patrolling immediately trotted over, formed a cordon, and looked at the surrounding people with vigilant eyes.

He looked toward the exhibition hall, his gaze gradually becoming profound.

Aaron did not order the hand-grabbed pancakes, only asking for the high-temperature stewed chicken curry and some light fruit juice drinks.

At this time, he had just finished his lunch, ordered William to dismiss the other waiters, and sat by the window.

"Sir, every visitor can stay for at most three minutes... please leave time for those behind you."

And most of their attention was focused in front of the Ocean Heart counter.

"Very good..."

Looking over from here, one could clearly see the entrance of the exhibition hall; the viewing angle was quite good.

Aaron took a deep look at the 'Ocean Heart' necklace, did not linger, and turned to walk away.

After leaving a certain distance, he touched his brow, feeling that his 'danger premonition' had become much calmer.

There were particularly many tourists in front of this display stand, probably because they had all heard the news about the 'Magician'.

Queen's District.

Just at this moment, on the white handkerchief stained with blood on the ground, a mysterious symbol depicted in Spirit World Script suddenly flashed with light.

The surrounding crowd scattered at once, looking at the elderly gentleman who had fallen to the ground; his white handkerchief fell to one side, and it was shockingly stained with dark red blood.

Aaron held a colorful flag in one hand and took out tools like a crystal pendant with the other, beginning to perform divination.

"Doctor?!"

The four walls were dark red in tone, featuring religious murals of monkey-faced, human-bodied figures in the style of South Innis.

The incense burner and Candle in the corner were burning spices and essential oils from the colonies, which were said to have aphrodisiac effects and were very popular among the upper-class nobles of Invis.

This old man suddenly bent at the waist, coughing incessantly; he took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and looked to be in extreme pain.

An Extraordinary who looked like a bodyguard had his pupils constrict.

Hiss!

But it was already too late; the handkerchief exploded, turning into a pungent white mist that enveloped the entire exhibition hall.
