Sid Watson, not noticing the lady beside him had zoned out, his eyes flickered, but he did not speak. He had only just become a Sequence 8 Gravedigger last week, and he hadn't digested the potion much yet.
Originally, he wanted to buy a Sequence 7 potion formula, but the Sequence 7 formula was around 800 pounds, which was a bit too expensive for him.
But even if he couldn't afford it temporarily, he should at least inquire about the potion's name. It better not be something like Corpse Collector or Gravedigger again.
However, during his conversation with Sharron earlier today, he unexpectedly learned the name of his next Sequence, Psychic, and Sharron was also willing to use the Psychic potion formula as payment for Sid helping them leave Caesar Port.
As a long-established local noble family, even though they had declined, their prestige remained. Moreover, the Eternal Blazing Sun Church might have gathered some clues, as the previously strict searches had been canceled, and all port inspections were handed over to the guard team, showing an attitude of giving up and not wanting to interfere.
Based on these circumstances, Sid was confident he could handle the local guard team and get Sharron and Maric onto a ship, so he abandoned his original plan and stopped asking to buy the formula, looking forward even more to the upcoming discussion session.
After the two transactions were completed, seeing that no one continued to speak, and noticing the eager expressions on the faces of many members, Aaron announced the start of the discussion session.
Sid spoke first, giving a rather detailed account of how Sharron and Maric of the Rose School of Thought had evaded pursuit in Caesar Port with his help.
With Sid's account from the previous gathering, the other members were already familiar with Sharron and Maric, knowing that they were defectors from the Rose School of Thought, and listened with great interest.
"The night a few days ago?" Checker immediately recalled the abnormal behavior of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church caravan that night and the appearance of that Archbishop. After thinking for a moment, he also brought up the matter.
Looking at the members' expressions, which were sometimes enlightened and sometimes puzzled, even Sid, who had initiated the topic, did not fully understand Sharron himself, only knowing some superficial knowledge.
After agreeing to Will Auceptin's request, Aaron intended to use this opportunity to train the members of the Chaos Council and find a chance to bring Sharron into the council as well, to better intervene in the situation on the Southern Continent.
Thinking of this, Aaron took the initiative to speak:
"The situation on the Southern Continent is very complex, with intertwined forces."
"The Rose School of Thought has split internally into the Temperance Faction and the Indulgence Faction. Their philosophies and views differ, leading to constant conflicts between them. Those two are from the Temperance Faction, who advocate temperance and resist madness with a life of austerity and low desires."
"The Temperance Faction believes that desires must always be suppressed in the heart, like underground fire and magma, waiting for the critical moment to erupt and produce terrifying power."
"And those abnormal Indulgence Faction members believe that indulging desires helps to improve one's will, and many people indulging together can influence each other, adding fanaticism, allowing their state to reach its peak."
"Now, the leader who had always protected the Temperance Faction has fallen, and the Indulgence Faction has completely gained the upper hand, with the remaining members of the Temperance Faction being hunted down."
Aaron briefly introduced the situation on the Southern Continent and the Rose School of Thought, but he did not go into detail. After all, more in-depth content required payment, and he also showed a hostile attitude towards the Indulgence Faction of the Rose School of Thought.
After speaking, looking at the members with various expressions, Aaron thought for a moment and added:
"Recently, due to the internal split within the Life School of Thought, some members who believe in the Primordial Moon have defected and joined the Rose School of Thought, and many Artificial vampire among them have indulged their desires and completely degenerated."
"Primordial Moon! Artificial vampire." Louise showed a look of disgust. Already repulsed by indulging desires, she grew even more disgusted with the Rose School of Thought for taking in those Artificial vampire who believed in the Primordial Moon.
As for the Life School of Thought mentioned by Mr. Blessed, she had learned about it in the Mistral Earl Family's "fifth epoch general history of the northern continent."
She knew it was a newly established secret organization in the Fifth Epoch, mastering the Monster Pathway and part of the Apothecary Pathway, but she hadn't expected such an organization, passed down in a master-disciple format, to also fall apart.
The atmosphere immediately became silent, everyone lost in their own thoughts. After a moment, seeing no one else speak, Aaron's spirituality stirred, and a soft tapping sound immediately came from the Throne.
A grand and majestic voice rang out: "You may tell Sharron my honorific name, and tell her that I can help Reinette Tinekerr revive and help her fight Suah."
Checker Ward was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and hurriedly bowed in response.
The other members' hearts trembled. Although they currently didn't know who Reinette Tinekerr and Suah were, the pronoun "her" was enough to explain everything; that was an Angel, and an existence capable of fighting her was naturally also an Angel.
Two Angels in total! The members, who were all only of low to mid Sequences, suddenly found themselves out of their depth with such high-level topics. For a moment, they looked at each other and remained silent.
In this atmosphere, Aaron manipulated the phantom on the Throne to end the gathering. Dark golden light surged, and silence returned to the magnificent Temple.
-----------------
Northeast of the Berserk Sea, somewhere in the waters east of Harman Harbor.
The weather was somewhat gloomy, the sun obscured by dark clouds, and the sea wind raged. The Golden Dream crew members, having finished their lessons for the day, all ran to the deck for a break.
Ferran Eddas poked Danitz beside him, poking him several times before Danitz reluctantly pulled his gaze away from the Captain, thinking to himself: "Hmm, the Captain is in a pirate teacher style today, so beautiful..."
Then he turned back and glared at Ferran in dissatisfaction: "You better have something important, or I'll show you the power of a Pyromaniac." As he spoke, a fire crow appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand in a threatening gesture.
Ferran pouted, but since he needed a favor, he chuckled and put his arm around Danitz's shoulder, saying:
"Danitz, lend me 400 pounds. How about I return you 450 pounds in a month?"
Danitz almost jumped up, "Bullshit, 400 pounds, you really think I'm a local tycoon? Where would I get 400 pounds?"
Ferran said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Blazing Danitz is wealthy? Tin Bucket and the others can testify, you know."
"Tin Bucket, you two traitors, you two just wait for me..." Danitz gritted his teeth inwardly, outwardly pretending not to hear. Seeing this, Ferran cleared his throat and walked towards the Captain's cabin, muttering to himself:
"I heard that someone on our ship is always staring at the Captain. Could it be that they have ill intentions towards the Captain? I should report this to the Captain properly. Maybe the Captain will reward me with a few hundred pounds."
Danitz perfectly demonstrated the Hunter's agility, his figure instantly appearing in front of Ferran, saying with a wide smile:
"Look at what you're saying, where are these ill intentions? It's just borrowing money, with our brotherhood, it's absolutely no problem. Let's not trouble the Captain with such a small matter."
