"Grigori is already very rare now.
I don't know what price that Earl will sell it for, but it might be close to 1,000 pounds.
Additionally, I'll charge 50 pounds... no, 100 pounds as an intermediary fee."
[The Moon] Emlyn White continued speaking to Silas.
"That's fine."
Silas now had over 10,000 pounds in cash, and the main materials for "Black Knight" were basically secured, so he didn't mind spending a bit more.
"Also, help me inquire within your clan to see if anyone is willing to sell the Shadow Knight's black liquid."
He thought for a moment, then added, "Cash and item exchanges can be completed through offering sacrifices to Mr. Fool."
After obtaining The Fool's consent, he displayed the corresponding ritual to the other party in the form of parchment.
Although [The Moon] was surprised by this, he didn't pay it much mind.
Instead, he looked past the tall young [The Sun] toward [The Hanged Man].
"Has that Beyonder item made from the 'Arbiter characteristic' been sold?"
He asked.
"It's already been sold."
[The Hanged Man] Alger said seriously.
"Then as we discussed before, give me 3,500 pounds..."
"It's not 3,500 pounds, it's 8,000 pounds."
Alger interrupted him.
Hmm?
Silas was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood what the other party meant.
"You've already saved up enough cash to buy the Wind-blessed potion formula and Beyonder characteristics?"
According to what they had previously agreed, these two items totaled 4,500 pounds.
Adding the 3,500 pounds for the item, his cash had successfully reached 19,600 pounds, nearly 20,000 pounds.
If he kept working hard like this six more times, he could buy his own head.
Seeing [The Hanged Man] nod in confirmation, Silas said, "I can give you the potion formula right now.
As for the main materials, after the gathering ends, I'll transfer them to you through Mr. Fool. You'd better have the money ready too."
"All right."
[The Hanged Man] Alger forcibly suppressed his inner excitement and said in a deep voice.
Finally, he too would advance to Sequence 6 and step into the rank of mid-sequence Beyonders!
Although he couldn't compare to [Temperance], among his peers in the Church of Storms, he would be among the top.
He took the parchment materialized by Silas and eagerly read through the information, committing it firmly to memory.
"Is there any news about Elders Tree fruit and Mirror Dragon blood?"
Seeing the two finish their transaction with no intention of continuing, [Justice] Audrey looked around and spoke.
After experiencing her friend's death and the "Great Smog," she had finally strengthened her resolve and decided to continue seeking advancement.
Only by constantly moving forward in the Beyonder world could she better protect her family, protect more innocents, and truly make her actions match her codename.
"Yes."
[The Moon] Emlyn answered. Their Blood Clan held regular gatherings where they would trade materials like ordinary Beyonders.
"Elders Tree fruit is between 600 and 700 pounds, and Mirror Dragon blood is 2 pounds per milliliter. Additionally, I'll charge a 100-pound fee."
"No problem."
[Justice] Audrey was delighted by this good news.
The prices Mr. [The Moon] gave were all very fair, and requesting an intermediary fee was understandable, so she agreed directly.
Audrey no longer lacked money.
After her coming-of-age ceremony, she had gained control over more than 400,000 pounds in assets.
Of course, to prevent her from spending recklessly, Earl Hall had still assigned some auditors as her assistants.
The Tarot Club members don't seem to lack money at all...
Emlyn couldn't help but think.
In just a few sentences, he had successfully earned 200 pounds in commission, enough for him to buy many dolls he had long had his eye on.
The Tarot Club's channels and resources are growing more and more abundant...
Klein sighed inwardly.
[Justice] Miss, representing the Loen nobility and the Psychology Alchemists.
[The Hanged Man] Mister, representing maritime forces and the Church of Storms. L[The Sun], representing the City of Silver.
[The Magician] Miss, representing the Abraham family.
The newly joined [The Moon], representing the Blood Clan... As for [Temperance] Silas, this guy was basically beyond normal parameters.
The related intelligence and trading resources were becoming increasingly convenient. His platform was finally thriving.
With the satisfaction of a platform owner, he thought to himself.
***
Backlund, North Borough, a conference room in the underground area of St. Samuel Cathedral.
Steam Church deacon Iconser Bernard lowered his head as he entered this spacious conference room and sat down in a chair with restraint.
He unconsciously smoothed his fluffy hair, then took the magic mirror Arrodes from a specially made pocket inside his clothing and placed it on the table.
After him, people continuously entered the conference room.
Among these people were Steam Church members wearing white priest robes, Church of Storms members in dark blue robes, and of course the hosts here, Evernight Goddess Church members in black robes.
Iconser noticed that directly across from him sat a handsome, black-haired man in a casual manner.
This green-eyed Nighthawk curiously examined the silver mirror and gave him a frivolous smile... polite, but not particularly polite.
Red Gloves... This young man is no simple character...
Iconser glimpsed the blood-red gloves the other party wore and thought silently.
The surrounding seats gradually filled up.
People from the three major churches had gathered together for a common goal: investigating the truth behind the Great Smog.
Although after the events of New Year's Eve night, the King had exchanged more benefits with the churches, now that suspicion had been aroused, they wouldn't be so easily fooled anymore.
And at a time like this, cooperative investigation became the best choice.
At this moment, the conference room had gathered the core strength of Backlund's official Beyonders.
They had already been investigating for some time and were ready to exchange intelligence and discuss the case at this meeting.
After the three Archbishops entered the conference room, the slightly noisy environment quickly quieted down.
"Please, everyone, begin."
As the host, Evernight Church Archbishop Saint Anthony said calmly.
This beardless old man had deep eyes that would involuntarily produce fear and trembling in those who looked directly at him. He addressed the Red Gloves captain, "Soest, you go first."
"Yes."
The Red Gloves captain, "Soul Assurer" Soest, stood up and began reporting the situation of their investigation to everyone.
The Red Gloves were primarily investigating the relationship between the royal family and the Demoness Sect.
Although the royal family's explanation was that Prince Edessak had been bewitched and attempted to rebel, from the investigation results, it seemed the Prince had only been infatuated with that Trissy Cheek and hadn't actually taken any extreme actions himself.
"The butler of the Prince's manor and that Trissy's personal maid have both been silenced.
We only obtained information from the dreams of some servants, so we can't be completely certain."
Soest said.
