Chapter 617 Mr. X's Trail
As soon as Mr. Fool finished speaking, the members present reacted in different ways.
Some of them had encountered the term before, while others were hearing it for the first time. But even those who heard it for the first time could easily grasp its meaning from the literal translation.
Is there a sequence 0 above sequence 1?
[The Magician] Fors was overwhelmed with a storm of emotions. In her knowledge of mysticism, the highest level of attainment was only a Sequence 1 angel. If there were beings higher than angels, then it could only be a true god!
So even true gods can ascend from mortals...
Alger, the Hanged Man, had a burning gaze and a heart filled with fiery ambition.
While others were either astonished or overjoyed, Luze's heart stirred. He suddenly thought of his flagship, the "Black Throne," Antia Troliss, and remembered what she had once told him—"I suspect that Roselle and I are from the same pathway, and that her sequence is higher than mine..."
Through the same path, her sequence is even higher, and according to Mr. Fool, Rosell is trying to advance to Sequence 0... Could it be that the path he is trying to jump to is "lawyer," and he may very well have actually become the Black Emperor of Sequence 0!
Speaking of the "Black Emperor," Lu Ze couldn't help but think of another person.
George III!
Klein had previously shared relevant information with Luzer. Now, that damn emperor is digging into the legacy of the "Blood Emperor" and seems to be planning to become the "Black Emperor."
Thinking of this, Lu Ze couldn't help but look up at the bottom of the long table. Klein, the [World] located there, also looked up, and the two locked eyes for a second.
Let's discuss it in a smaller meeting later.
Lu Ze thought to himself.
Mr. Temperance and Mr. World are exchanging glances again. Do they know something...?
Audrey keenly observed this scene.
Just then, she heard Mr. Fool at the head of the table speak again.
"You may begin."
The mysterious figure leaned back in his chair, glanced around, and then spoke. He didn't explain anything further, perhaps feeling that the diary provided by the "Mysterious Queen" was only worth that small reward.
The gathering then moved into the transaction phase.
The first to speak was [World].
Klein adopted a somber expression, glancing first at the Sun and then at the Hanged Man, before saying in a hoarse voice, "I can now provide the potion recipe for 'The Notary,' and the potion recipe and main ingredients for 'The Ocean Singer.'"
The recipe for "Notary" comes from the lambs grazing in "Crawling Hunger," while the recipe and main ingredients for "Ocean Singer" come from one of his adventures. After hunting down "Blood Admiral," he gained an extra slot in "Crawling Hunger," and as promised, he released the soul of an innocent.
As for that adventure, it was rather fantastical. To rescue the missing "Iceberg General," he entered the world of books, where he teamed up with other extraordinary individuals from various eras who had also strayed into the book. They defeated the final enemy within and successfully escaped. However, his companions had already exhausted their lifespans and died on the spot after leaving the book, leaving only their traits... The trait he was going to sell to the "Hanged Man" came from that elven archer.
Upon hearing this good news, the Sun and the Hanged Man were naturally delighted, but their reactions differed.
"Thank you, Mr. [World]. I will note this debt and pay it later!"
"The Sun," Derrick said sincerely.
The Hanged Man seemed to be short of money as well. Instead of paying outright, he requested a private message and offered a pristine island rich in treasure as payment. According to him, the island not only teemed with rare and extraordinary creatures but also contained ancient ruins... It's highly likely that Zilingus gained considerable benefits from there, thus becoming a pirate general.
Klein readily agreed to both of their conditions.
After that, [The Hermit] Cattleya spoke up. She had found the "Black Hunting Giant Lizard Spinal Fluid" that [Justice] Audrey was looking for and the "Meteorite Crystal" that [The Magician] needed.
60 grams for 600 pounds...that's expensive!
[The Magician] Fors was both happy and troubled. The reason for her happiness was self-evident, but the trouble stemmed from... her lack of money. Her continuous purchases of extraordinary materials had further worsened her already precarious financial situation, especially since her monthly royalties hadn't arrived yet, leaving her truly strapped for cash.
As for ways to make money...
Fors immediately looked at the red figure opposite him.
"Mr. Temperance".
She said, "I have found Mr. X's trail."
This vicious man had previously stated that if the target was a member of the Aurora Society, he wouldn't ask for a hiring fee; in fact, he would pay him... With this money, he could pay the bill for the extraordinary materials.
"Oh? That's really good news."
[Moderation] Lu Ze nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said, "Then tell me quickly."
Fors quickly asked Mr. Fool for help, which conjured up a piece of parchment on which he wrote down how to attend "Mr. X's" party.
In addition, she added some details about "Mr. X". For example, he is suspected to be a mid-sequence Beyonder in the Apprentice Path, possessing the ability to "travel". Also, according to her companions at the party, "Mr. X" seemed uneasy during the party, as if he was on guard against something.
When Lu Ze read this information, his brows furrowed slightly.
He wasn't surprised that Mr. X could "travel," but this last part of the description...
"Are you sure he's on guard against something?"
Lu Ze asked.
"Um, I heard this from a friend who attended the party; I haven't confirmed it myself."
Fors replied. She was an Extraordinary via the "Apprentice" pathway, and attending the gathering might expose her to something by Mr. X, who shared the same pathway, so she didn't dare go directly. "My friend is usually quite absent-minded, but she's reliable in crucial moments, and her pathway is very sensitive to other people's expressions and actions..."
Oh, it's Hugh... She may not be very tall, but she's a reliable person.
Lu Ze nodded silently.
So, what is Mr. X on guard against?
Are they wary of me?
It's very likely... as a Sequence 5, he definitely can't beat me. But if that's the case, why hold a party? And why keep spreading his name and expanding his influence...?
It was almost as if they were deliberately trying to lure me over.
After a moment's thought, Lu Ze immediately placed the greatest possibility on himself. This wasn't just wishful thinking on his part; after all, even the true Creator had released His angelic retinue to capture him.
If that's the case, then Mr. X might be a trap?
