Chapter 374: Weaving a Conspiracy (Please Subscribe)

"How pitiful... The 'Lamp Bearer' should be a Non-human Existence, right? To lose three of them in one go... even some small factions don't have that many High-Level Extraordinary losses."

Liliyat sighed with sympathy.

Aaron, however, kept his expression unchanged, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He glanced at that bidder and spoke directly: "2,500 pounds!"

Tias looked at Aaron in surprise, and Liliyat couldn't help but ask directly: "Are you sure you can decipher it? The content on that torn page was clearly unreadable even to the auctioneer, otherwise it wouldn't have been brought out for public auction."

"I want to try!"

He performed an Anti-Divination Ritual for Tias and Liliyat, then said: "Split up and leave..."

In the end, that torn page was secured by Aaron for the price of 13,000 pounds.

At this moment, those Crowns still had to hold the fort and compete for the auction's finale items; it was the perfect opportunity for him to stir up trouble!

The three walked out of the Auction House gate, and Aaron keenly sensed some gazes.

'Overflowing with Extraordinary Ability inside the venue is naturally asking for a beating... so I won't use Extraordinary Ability on others, but on myself!'

One was a warehouse storage receipt for a certain dock area, and the other was the torn page of the Chapter of the Sun's Fall from just now.

A transaction volume of nearly 20,000 pounds was enough to incite the Greed of certain people.

From time to time, other buyers joined in; some belonged to the 'Yao' society, while others simply saw the competition and wanted to pick up a bargain.

Aaron lazily called out an astronomical price: "10,000 pounds!"

Aaron instructed Tias: "As for me... I can leave at any time, but I have decided to stay."

'Of course I can't do anything at the auction site, but I can leave clues to lure the 'Sunset School' into making a move and exposing their tracks.'

Although Aaron couldn't act with facial expressions, his body language revealed smugness, garnering many looks of a spendthrift as well as greedy stares.

Beside him, Tias's face twitched instantly.

The second type of person withdrew one after another once the price hit 5,000 pounds.

'So... I should increase the bid appropriately! Further incite the Greed in the depths of his heart!'

'That's it, a little smugness, a little provocation, and it's best to add a little bit of ignorance... acting like a nouveau riche who just joined the Hidden Realm halfway?'

Knowing he was going to attend the auction, he carried on his person promissory notes from the Royal Bank, totaling a face value of 33,000 pounds!

'At this critical Node, the leader of the 'Sunset School', that 'Alchemist', must also be watching this side! Once he makes a move, I can attempt a counter-kill...'

The current price had already reached an extremely irrational level, and those 'Yao' societies had all chosen to give up.

Tias took out 19,000 pounds in promissory notes with a pained expression, added another 300 pounds in cash banknotes, and received the two papers from the other party.

'Luring out an 'Alchemist' is not easy; it requires a perfect script... First, I must use the 'Weaver's' ability to identify the 'Sunset School's' spokesperson, and then... provoke him!'

'Weaving a script... can a torn page suspected of containing the Secret of the Sun Fall attract the 'Sunset School'?'

At the same time, he also received a look from the Golden Mask wearer as if looking at a dead man.

Aaron's voice was a little louder, ensuring those nearby could hear.

"I can prove that I have sufficient assets, and..."

"3,100 pounds!"

'To open the Fifth Primordial Substance, besides the wonders of the Spirit World, I also need main materials... I don't want to remelt the Fool's Crown for now, so I still need a relic of the Sixth Primordial Substance!'

Furthermore, the 'Sunset School' definitely had a grudge against him, and he had also crossed paths with that 'Alchemist' last time.

But now, Tias was starting to worry that the money he brought wouldn't be enough...

The price called by this lord would ultimately have to be reimbursed by the 'Green Banyan Council', and the Council's finances had been a bit tight lately.

Aaron quietly transformed his Spirituality into a 'Pupa', becoming half a 'Weaver'.

Liliyat and Tias hurriedly followed, looking at Aaron with puzzled eyes.

However, being of the same 'Yao' is naturally best, as it saves the trouble of conversion.

Aaron's thoughts raced; the Golden Mask wearer had already looked over, his tone cold: "3,000 pounds!"

Aaron looked at the Golden Mask wearer and made a 'poor wretch, get lost' gesture; the other party should have understood the meaning and was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices.

"After we walk out of the Auction House later, you pay attention to her Protection, and take her away first."

Because of the 'Furnace's' characteristics, he didn't care about the aspect issues of the main materials.

At this moment, his inspiration suddenly gushed out, like an audience member watching actors perform on stage, or like a puppet master using invisible threads to manipulate puppets, making them act according to his will.

"Give me one thing you have on you."

Thinking of this, Aaron stood up directly and walked toward the backstage of the auction.

He brought Tias to the backstage of the Auction House to settle the transaction with a very shrewd middle-aged man with blonde hair.

Fortunately, they were an old-fashioned noble family after all, and always had some accumulations.

"You... this is clearly intentional price-gouging! I protest!"

The Golden Mask wearer said loudly.

"We are going to settle the bill and take the auction items... perhaps the next things will be better, but we don't have the strength to take them, do we?"

'The Gourmet Association President Flander's whereabouts are hidden... there have been no clues, perhaps I should change targets, for example... a certain 'Alchemist'?'

'He wants to kill me, this is inevitable... but at the same time, he is also wary, after all, he doesn't know my background and trump cards...'

This gave Aaron more than a 60% certainty that the Golden Mask wearer belonged to the 'Sunset School'!

"Hmm... 'Pupa' is actually quite useful when weaving a conspiracy."

"He is hesitating, he is weighing..."

Aaron thought of the fortress that emerged in the Spirit World when he killed Lady Jiade last time.

In fact, let alone a torn page, the full version of the Chapter of the Sun's Fall would be about this price.

"Although the other party is a spokesperson for a school, he still has many constraints after all; he cannot squander as freely as I can..."

The 'Weaver' is not only good at manipulating spirit threads, but also good at manipulating conspiracies and weaving scripts!

However, with so many High-Level Extraordinaries presiding, there would still be no trouble at the auction site.

While walking, Aaron took out that remnant page which seemed to be forged from the light of dusk.

The solidified light in his hand actually began to flow slowly, turning into wriggling characters that reflected against the pitch-black Night Curtain.

The afterglow of dusk suddenly transformed into Mysterious symbols, allowing one to understand their meaning at a glance—【The Red Sun has perished, and so have I... Above the Siming God, there exists an even greater existence】!
