After sending Michelle and her daughter to East Tucker Manor, Joseph Weil quietly appeared beside Aaron and spoke with an appreciative tone:
"You did very well. An Artisan can bring considerable value to the family. There's no need to rush the Artisan potion formula. Establish initial trust before proceeding with the transaction."
Aaron looked at Joseph Weil, whose expression was somewhat relaxed and whose mouth was slightly upturned, feeling that he seemed to be in a good mood. So, he spoke in a probing tone:
"Ahem, I still need your help with one thing. Not today, but within this week. It might be a little dangerous, at least requiring a demigod to be present."
Joseph Weil's upturned lips quickly froze, and he stared intently at Aaron with his light golden eyes, making Aaron feel uneasy.
After a moment, just as Aaron was about to take out the token, Joseph Weil spoke indifferently: "This is the last time this month."
He then disappeared immediately, giving Aaron no chance to bargain.
"Tsk, how stingy. Isn't it just that I asked for your help a few more times?" Aaron slightly curled his lips, though of course, he only dared to grumble in his heart.
-----------------
Time quickly advanced to Wednesday. These past few days, Aaron had been gathering his dispersed spirituality, familiarizing himself with the various abilities of an Interrogator, and seeking an effective combination of Spiritual Penetration and Wraith Possession.
It is worth mentioning that Soro Bint provided valuable reference opinions. The personal feedback from a Sequence 5 Mentor of Disorder accelerated the mastery of the combined abilities.
As for the effect, even the Mentor of Disorder, who has considerable resistance to mental attacks, would be paralyzed for 1 to 2 seconds when facing this combination of abilities, which was enough for Aaron to use Spirit World Travel to escape.
Aaron speculated that for other Sequence 5 Beyonders with less resistance to mental attacks, and for Beyonders of lower Sequence, the control duration and even the damage dealt would increase.
After finishing today's training, Soro Bint quietly stood guard at the door. Just as Aaron was about to leave, he saw Darren rushing up, saying respectfully:
"Lord Aaron, the items you requested have arrived in Backlund. They just delivered them. Would you like to come down and see them?"
Aaron smiled and instructed Darren to place the items in the living room on the first floor. Then, he turned around, walked back to his bedroom, and picked up Evelyn, who was lying on the blanket.
He stroked her head and said with a smile: "Evelyn, your gift has arrived. It's on the first floor. Wait..."
Before Aaron could finish speaking, Evelyn agilely darted out of Aaron's arms, turning into a white blur and disappearing at the stairwell.
Aaron was slightly speechless and couldn't help but marvel, "This cat eats and sleeps all day and can still run so fast. It's truly rare."
Aaron slowly walked downstairs and saw Evelyn sitting motionlessly in the middle of the living room, her smooth white fur slightly bristling, her tail wagging continuously, staring at the three cages in front of her.
Each cage contained a huge lizard dragon whose skin changed color with the light. It was three meters long, and even when lying down, its height was significantly greater than Evelyn when she was sitting.
Seeing Aaron arrive, Evelyn instantly darted onto Aaron's shoulder, meowing and meowing in Aaron's ear, as if questioning if this was the so-called gift.
Aaron cleared his throat, placed the meowing Evelyn from his shoulder onto the floor, and looked at the embarrassed Darren, saying:
"Um... I remember the telegram I sent asked for juvenile Rainbow Salamander. Why are these so big?" He said, pointing to the three Rainbow Salamander that were almost pushing the cages open.
Darren cleared his throat and replied: "The person in charge of the escort said that they were indeed juvenile Rainbow Salamander, but transporting them from the Southern Continent to Backlund could only be done via cargo routes, so it took a long time."
"And Rainbow Salamander grow extremely fast during their growth period and have a very large appetite. In less than two months, they almost outgrew their cages."
Without continuing the topic, Aaron asked the butler to take the three Rainbow Salamander to the backyard. He took a box from Darren's hand and returned to the bedroom with the sulking Evelyn.
Inside the box was the other main ingredient for Sequence 9 Spectator: 35 milliliters of Horned Blackfish blood, specially transferred from Osel.
The East Tucker Family did not have the Spectator Pathway potion formula, nor did they specifically store Beyonder materials for the Spectator Pathway.
At least Aaron hadn't found any in the family treasury in Backlund. Perhaps they were transported back to Osel for centralized storage.
Aaron thought and then took out the other main ingredient he bought for 200 pounds at the "Eye of Wisdom" old gentleman's gathering last time: a pair of adult Manhar fish eyes.
The remaining supplementary ingredients were all relatively common and available in the family warehouse in Backlund. Soon, a bottle of silver-white liquid appeared on the table.
Evelyn, as if smelling her favorite canned fish, instantly darted onto the table, her eyes fixed on it.
Aaron smiled and said: "This is one of your gifts, a Sequence 9 'Spectator' potion. The Rainbow Salamander just now are the main ingredients for Sequence 8 'Telepathist'. After successfully consuming the potion, you will be a Transcendent cat."
As he spoke, he poured the potion into a plate and placed it on the table, while also instructing: "Remember to use the methods I taught you to accommodate the potion and avoid losing control."
Before Aaron could finish, Evelyn eagerly licked up the potion in the plate, then stared at Aaron with innocent eyes.
After repeatedly checking several times, Aaron found no problems and finally felt relieved. He could only say that perhaps spiritual creatures like White Feather Spirit Cats naturally have a certain compatibility with the Spectator Pathway.
Seeing Aaron walk out of the bedroom, Darren, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and whispered:
"Lord Aaron, the task you assigned last time has been completed. The location of that mausoleum has been confirmed, and there have been no signs of entry or exit at the entrance for a long time."
Aaron's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly returned to the bedroom and looked at Darren, saying: "What is the exact location of that mausoleum? None of you went inside, did you?"
Darren nodded slightly, "I have always strictly followed your instructions. Based on the approximate location information you provided, we searched an area of 10 kilometers."
"Finally, we found a hidden mausoleum entrance at the bend of the Stratford River in White Cliff Town. We just noted the location and returned; no one went deep inside."
Upon hearing this, Aaron nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the respectfully standing Darren Sheroto, thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper, wrote a note, handed it to Darren, and cautioned him to burn it after reading.
Darren took the note with a slight doubt, glanced at it, and then froze in place.
"Sequence 6 'Faceless'"
"Main ingredients: Mutated pituitary gland of a Thousand-Faced Hunter, characteristics of a Human-Skin Shadow."
"Supplementary ingredients: 80 ml of Thousand-Faced Hunter blood, 5 drops of Black Mandrake juice, 10 grams of Dragon's Tooth Grass powder, 3 strands of The Deep Naga hair."
Aaron affirmed Darren's work during his time in Backlund and saw the excited gentleman out of the bedroom.
Aaron originally wanted to go to the estate himself to find Joseph Weil, but remembering the intense gaze from last time, Aaron abandoned the idea.
He took out paper and pen, wrote down the details of the matter, emphasizing that the mausoleum was the Amon family mausoleum from the Fourth Epoch Tudor Dynasty, extremely dangerous, and required help.
After writing, he called the butler to personally deliver the letter to the East Tucker Estate. After making arrangements, Aaron sat on the sofa, feeling as if he had forgotten something.
Just then, Aaron suddenly felt something, sharply turned his head, and looked towards the spacious balcony outside the French window, towards the dark corner of the spacious balcony.
In that shadow, a white cat sat quietly, its tail gently swaying, its silvery-white pupils eerily looking into the bedroom, its small body completely hidden in the Darkness.
Evelyn... Aaron's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead, suddenly feeling that having a Spectator cat by his side was not a pleasant thing.
