Aaron looked at the tidied desk and placed the original paper crane and the small bottle containing mythical creature blood on it.
Looking at the items on the desk, the smile on Aaron's face had long disappeared, and he began to ponder the true purpose of the Snake of Fate's visit.
First, Will Auceptin, due to Ouroboros's interference, was forced to restart his life, infiltrating Backlund to escape pursuit.
The Snake of Fate can reincarnate while retaining his original consciousness and memories, reborn and growing as an infant.
Although this restart resets his madness and significantly reduces the Snake of Fate's need for anchors, the disappearance of a large number of anchors would definitely cause his state to plummet.
Years later, the Life School of Thought declined to the point of hiding and being pursued by various forces, and Will Auceptin at that time was sickly and in poor condition, possibly affected by the anchors.
Restarting again to become Dr. Allan's child might also be a consideration to restart, reduce the need for anchors, and stabilize his own state.
Coming to me, a Blessed of the Evernight Goddess, he probably wanted to sound out the Evernight Goddess's thoughts through my attitude at this crucial juncture of the Life School of Thought's internal strife.
And as a Sequence 1, the Snake of Fate, who is most likely to see through my Uniqueness, Will Auceptin only referred to me as a Blessed of the Evernight Goddess, without mentioning anything else.
This at least indicates that the hidden state provided by the Evernight Goddess is sufficient to conceal my special nature before a true god or a King of Angels accommodating a Uniqueness appears in the Black Emperor Pathway and Justiciar pathway.
With a certain idea in mind, Aaron reined in his diverging thoughts, looked at the three paper cranes and the bottle filled with silver blood on the table, curled his lips, and muttered, "How stingy."
.....
In an empty room, Will Auceptin's figure appeared out of thin air, and a pile of empty boxes instantly appeared in the trash can in the corner.
Recalling the scene of their meeting just now, and his feelings after observing that Blessed of the Evernight Goddess up close, Will Auceptin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then took out his tarot cards.
A silver light flashed in Will Auceptin's eyes, as if illusory silver rings emerged. A moment later, a familiar scene reappeared, with four tarot cards laid flat on the table, face up.
At the top was the Judgement card, the Emperor card was at the bottom, and on the left and right were the Star card and the Wheel of Fortune card respectively.
Looking at this slightly peculiar combination, Will Auceptin frowned deeply and repeated a few times in a low voice, "Aaron Weil..."
-----------------
At 12 AM on Friday, within the magnificent Temple enveloped in dark gold mist, figures emerged one after another.
Under Aaron's lead, everyone bowed to the great existence on the throne before the Chaos Council began.
"Five tail feathers of a Flame-Feathered Bird, 200 pounds," Checker Ward's eyes glowed slightly as he spoke directly.
This was one of the supplementary ingredients for the Sequence 7 Pyromaniac, and he had arrived in North Cookawa City yesterday with the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church's merchant caravan.
He had already purchased the other auxiliary Ingredient, Magma Heart Powder, at a local Beyonder gathering, leaving only the Flame-Feathered Bird's tail feathers unbought.
As for the main ingredient for the potion, he intended to use the Beyonder characteristic his father left him. In his view, this was more like a legacy, a continuation of spirit and will.
Ever since he learned that Ferran Eddas was preparing to advance to Sequence 7 Seafarer and had successfully joined Vice Admiral Iceberg's fleet, he had felt a sense of urgency.
As someone with an extremely proud heart, he never believed he would fall behind others, so even though he hadn't fully digested the Provoker potion, he began collecting materials.
Louise Sears slightly raised her hand, completing the transaction. Aaron nodded inwardly; as the future heir of the East Tucker Family, who controlled the Hunter Pathway, he naturally had the supplementary ingredients for the Hunter Pathway.
However, unless there was no one else to respond, he generally wouldn't speak. Aaron still hoped that the members of the Chaos Council would strengthen their connections.
Seeing the two complete their transaction, Ferran Eddas also spoke in a deep voice:
"A pair of Ghost-Faced Sea Shark eyeballs, hmm, 600 pounds."
This was one of the main ingredients for Sequence 7 Seafarer. After learning that he was about to advance to Sequence 7, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards clearly informed him that her collection had the other two supplementary ingredients and another main ingredient, only lacking the Ghost-Faced Sea Shark eyeballs.
Moreover, as long as Ferran Eddas made sufficient contributions in the upcoming exploration missions, she could sell these materials at a low price, or even give them to him for free as a reward.
Seeing the others around him remain silent, Ferran Eddas looked at Mr. Blessed not far away with an expectant gaze.
Aaron looked at the expectant gaze and, after thinking for a moment, realized that there really didn't seem to be any Ghost-Faced Sea Shark eyeballs in the warehouse.
However, Aaron immediately remembered that he seemed to have a Sequence 6 Wind-Blessed Beyonder characteristic, which Louise Sears had sacrificed to exchange for that Sequence 6 Sanguine Baron Beyonder characteristic.
"Hmm, I can use the Sun-Chasing Staff to extract the excess Beyonder characteristic from that Wind-Blessed, and the Seafarer Beyonder characteristic within it can be sold to Ferran Eddas, which directly saves him the main ingredient."
Having made up his mind, Aaron spoke calmly:
"I don't have Ghost-Faced Sea Shark eyeballs, but I have a Seafarer Beyonder characteristic, 1000 pounds."
Ferran Eddas, who had been somewhat disappointed, instantly brightened. He currently only had 600 pounds in savings, and the remaining 400 pounds could be borrowed from Danitz.
Watching the two gentlemen quickly complete their transaction, Louise Sears's eyes showed obvious fluctuations; she wanted to speak but held back.
Now that she had become a Sanguine Baron, what she most desired was, of course, the Sequence 5 Sanguine Viscount Beyonder characteristic.
However, a normal Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic would cost at least 8000 pounds or more, and a relatively rare Sanguine Viscount Beyonder characteristic like this would often have a significant premium.
To put her dilemma in simpler terms, she was short on money recently. Even if the knowledgeable and kind Mr. Blessed sold the Sanguine Viscount Beyonder characteristic at a low price of 8000 pounds, she couldn't afford it.
When she first arrived in Backlund, she still had over 4000 pounds in cash, but due to socializing and making connections with the Sanguine in Backlund, most of that cash had already been spent, leaving less than 1000 pounds.
But in reality, her true assets were much higher than when she first arrived in Backlund. As such a young Sanguine Baron, and a descendant of Earl Mistral.
Many Sanguine gave gifts when attending parties. In such occasions, no Sanguine would be so shallow as to directly give cash; the gifts were basically various valuable paintings and collectibles.
But she couldn't just sell off these valuable paintings and collectibles given by elders or peers; how rude would that be! At least she had to wait for some time, not sell them immediately after receiving them.
Moreover, Backlund was only so big; if news of her reselling gifts got out, as a proud Sanguine, Louise felt she couldn't afford to lose face.
Of course, there were always some Sanguine who would be unconventional. Louise remembered that among those gifts, there was also a very beautiful doll, which seemed to be given by a guy named Emlyn White.
"If worst comes to worst, I'll sell that doll first. Sigh, I've never realized how poor I am; I need to find a way to make money."
Louise's thoughts gradually diverged.
