"With your current Sequence, such a Spirit World creature can be of great help to you."
"You can explore the remaining functions yourself, and also get familiar with Spirit World shuttling."
Gusman then took out a sun ring and handed it to Lord Aaron, smiling as he continued, "This is a Mystical Item I carefully selected for you, called the sun ring, and its negative effects are extremely subtle."
Lord Aaron's eyes lit up as he took the sun ring, closed his eyes, and sensed it:
Name: sun ring
Ability 1: Within ten meters of the wearer, pure and warm power will permeate. Normal people cannot detect it, but undead Monsters will continuously take damage, and it will be difficult for evil spirit Monsters to possess and corrupt the wearer.
Ability 2: The wearer can consume spirituality to use some spells from the Sun domain. For example, 'Summon Holy Light', 'Light of Fire', 'Immunity to Fear', 'Holy Vow', and 'Sun Halo', etc. Consuming a large amount of spirituality can create 'Sun Holy Water'.
Negative Effect: Develop goodwill towards Sun Pathway Beyonders, and frequent wearing will cause irritability.
Lord Aaron opened his eyes and looked at Duke of East Tucker, who was smiling. Before he could ask, he explained:
"This is one of the various Mystical Items made by a former Duke, who chose to believe in the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, using many Beyonder characteristics at the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery."
"Most of the Beyonder characteristics in the family treasury have had their corruption removed by our ancestors."
"Pure Beyonder characteristics, coupled with the help of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, created this batch of highly practical Mystical Items with very minor negative effects."
"I applied for and selected this Mystical Item in your name, which can counteract and neutralize the negative effects brought by that mask."
"This is also the highest quota you can obtain before becoming a demigod, as such Mystical Items with extremely low negative effects are extremely rare."
Lord Aaron tightly gripped the pale mask and proactively put on the sun ring, a smile appearing on his face as he nodded and replied:
"Okay, Father. I will seize the time to advance, repay the family, and live up to the family's nurturing."
After speaking, he showed a shy expression and couldn't help but ask, "When can I get the potions I applied for yesterday?"
Duke of East Tucker smiled and said:
"You must have a calm mind, don't be anxious."
"Hmm… those potions are already in the treasury. You can ask the butler to take you to retrieve what you need. You can just find him later."
Saying that, he took out a check from his silk coat pocket and handed it to the delighted Lord Aaron:
"This is a check from Backlund Bank, with 100,000 gold pounds in it."
100,000 gold pounds… Lord Aaron was stunned, showing his surprise with subtle changes in his expression.
Without Lord Aaron needing to ask, Duke of East Tucker perceived his confusion and chuckled:
"Don't worry, this has nothing to do with the family; this is just help from Father and Mother to their child."
"There are many social events in Backlund, and I know your personality; you don't like those superficial, extravagant, and debauched social occasions."
"Although as the heir to the Duke of East Tucker's title, you have the right to refuse most social activities, there are always some you cannot decline."
"For the dignity of a noble, and to facilitate your work in Backlund and build connections, these 100,000 gold pounds are your initial capital."
Lord Aaron's eyes lit up as he took the check. To be honest, this was the largest denomination check he had ever seen, and also the largest sum of money belonging to him.
After all, no matter how noble his status, as a minor, he usually only had the pocket money given by his parents.
Fortunately, there was no place in East Taker Estate where he needed to spend money, and accumulated over time, he had saved almost 20,000 gold pounds.
Adding the 100,000 gold pounds given by his parents, a total capital of 120,000 gold pounds was enough for him to make a career in Backlund.
"Thank you, dear Duke." Lord Aaron smiled, his thoughts couldn't help but drift:
If dear Mr. Fool had obtained these 120,000 gold pounds at the very beginning, how would he celebrate? Lamb stew with tender peas and Dizi pie?
He didn't continue to let his thoughts wander. After getting the answer he wanted, he bid farewell to Duke of East Tucker.
Lord Aaron immediately found the butler, who was in the backyard directing servants to pack luggage and load it onto the carriage.
Under his guidance, Lord Aaron arrived at the warehouse in the backyard, and after being checked by the gatekeeper, entered the warehouse.
A slightly scorching, iron-blooded wind blew in his face. Inside the warehouse were individual compartments, storing various items.
Lord Aaron glanced around; basically, they were all low-Sequence Beyonder materials, with no materials above mid-Sequence or Sealed Artifacts.
Lord Aaron looked at the corridor leading underground in the depths and had just taken a few steps towards it.
His spiritual perception was triggered. Lord Aaron could feel at least four gazes converging on him from a distance.
"Hmm… these should be the Beyonders guarding the warehouse within the family, similar to the internal guardians of the Church."
"That passage should lead to the underground sealing core, where the family's preserved Beyonder materials above mid-Sequence and various Sealed Artifacts should be stored."
His spiritual intuition returned to calm; those guardians, after confirming his identity, did not continue to monitor him.
After verifying his conjectures, Lord Aaron did not continue towards the passage but followed the butler's footsteps to a compartment not far to the side, where several items were stored.
The most eye-catching were two glass bottle containers. One bottle contained a light blue liquid, like a surging ocean. The other bottle contained a light red viscous liquid, emitting a faint glow.
Without the butler's introduction, Lord Aaron guessed that these were the prepared Sailor potion and Hunter potion.
He then turned his gaze to the two tin boxes placed nearby, looking at the butler beside him with an inquiring gaze.
The butler coughed lightly and slowly said.
"Lord Aaron, for identification, the tin box on the left with a mark contains the main and supplementary ingredients for Sequence 8 Sheriff."
"The unmarked tin box on the right contains the main and supplementary ingredients for Sequence 9 Corpse Collector."
"The tin boxes have built-in partitions to prevent cross-corruption between Beyonder materials and can be stored for 1 year when sealed and unopened."
Lord Aaron nodded slightly, pondering in his mind:
"The 1-year preservation limit should only be for temporary storage. If stored within the sealing core, the time should be much longer."
"But it doesn't matter. The Sequence 9 potion will be digested quickly through the acting method, and I am confident that I can complete the digestion in at most 1 to 2 months, so it won't even reach the 1-year deadline."
"Moreover, at 12 o'clock tonight, the members of the Chaos Council will begin their first sacrifice and bestowal ceremony. At that time, these potions can be directly bestowed."
"Hmm… I wonder if they can sacrifice some unexpected good things. Speaking of which, the Sanguine should have a lot of good things. I wonder if there will be any surprises tonight."
Gathering his scattered thoughts, Lord Aaron picked up the four items in the compartment and walked out of the family warehouse with the butler.
