Chapter 371: Chapter 0371: News (4800 added, request for monthly pass)
After tasting the supposedly aristocratic afternoon tea brought from the Chris Empire, Dunstan finally got to the point: “Mr. Su Lu… The Eleventh Bureau has sent a letter of thanks, expressing their gratitude for your assistance in the Emerald Forest …”
His smile was subtle.
In fact, the Eleventh Bureau should be more frightened than delighted.
After all, although the Green Tree Castle laboratory is a part of the Federation, a Transcendent organization, the emergence of another Fifth Level Professional significantly changes its power dynamic!
Many pre-existing plans now have to be revised.
At the same time, a large number of intelligence officers have been assigned to investigate news on Su Lu Pottery, and probe the secret behind his rapid promotion.
“Oh, I thought there would be some kind of bonus…”
Su Lu sipped his red tea, showing little concern.
At a glance, the newly established wireless telegraph company has a promising future; he has already reserved the position of the Federation’s future tycoon for himself.
“Also… my issue has been resolved, no need to block the news anymore,” he continued.
“Resolved?”
Dunstan subconsciously looked at Beryl, and his previous conjecture became even stronger.
“I am sorry, though… According to the Federation’s process, you must first register, accept the tasks, and after completing them, the rewards… can be given,” Dunstan regretfully said. “Otherwise, with your honor of banishing the leader of the Black Death Society, this time’s bounty would have made Stephen miserable for half a day…”
“So, you guys already know this too? The news spreads fast!”
Su Lu was somewhat surprised.
“It’s a shame… If you had killed him, the Federation would greatly reward you, even if you hadn’t registered,” Dunstan added.
“Kill him?”
Su Lu shook his head.
If he could accomplish that, why would he have merely banished him?
Moreover, on that Polon guy, apart from the magic wand, there must be more terrifying marvels. It seems that using them comes at a great cost.
But regardless of the cost, when cornered to a dead end, he would definitely use them!
Every legend has an ace up its sleeve. Why do we need to fight for life or death if there is no blood feud?
It was not easy for them to stand at the peak of the Spirit Tide, overlooking this transcendent dawn. Only the lowest strata would not care about their lives; the higher the strata, the more people treasured their lives!
Before certainty, you should carefully weigh every element of your life!
“It seems you understand the rules among us Fifth Level professionals… mutual respect, mutual vigilance… and not to act rashly…”
Dunstan laughed, “Also, I heard that you have been collecting some precious materials?”
“Yes.”
As soon as he mentioned this, Su Lu’s expression instantly became serious.
The real strength of the [Wandering Mage] lies in the Seal Card!
After all, the Trick Card has its limit. It cannot seal abilities above the Fifth Level. It needs to be upgraded to the Seal Card!
When compared to the readily available materials for Trick Cards, the production of the Seal Card is quite complicated, and its materials are very precious.
Of course, the cards that are made will possess incredible power.
Even the [Mystical Scholar] could use them to seal some Cursed Spirits.
‘Speaking of this, Kira Gales should still have a card… Maybe I should look for his whereabouts?’
However, compared to one or two cards, obtaining enough material is the right path. Su Lu, utilizing the resources of the Green Tree Castle, takes this very seriously.
“It’s okay with other materials. It’s just that Void Stone and Spirit Ink… are very rare, not even stocked in the Green Tree Castle…”
An expression of helplessness appeared on Dunstan’s face: “Even if the Inner Circle doesn’t have the other materials, if we put together all the private collections of several old people like us, it should be enough.”
“Void Stone and Spirit Ink, huh?”
Su Lu was deep in thoughts.
The so-called Void Stone is an odd mineral produced in the Realm of All Spirits. It is certainly very rare in this world.
As for Spirit Ink, it is a unique material produced in the Spirit World, which is extremely rare. He is helpless with this one.
“Please allow me to exchange the remaining materials with Inner Circle contribution…”
After thinking it over, Su Lu still decided to get his hands on the remaining auxiliary materials first.
As for the so-called Inner Circle contribution, it’s essentially points.
Dunstan has generously given him a certain amount of credit.
“No problem.” Dunstan cheerfully said, not doubting the repayment ability of a Fifth Level Professional at all: “Also… I have received some information. An elite private trading conference is about to be held. The invitees are mostly legends; it might meet your requirements.”
“Oh?” Su Lu’s eyes lit up.
He really can’t miss a private trading conference for Fifth Level beings.
“As a matter of fact… The Fifth Level beings of the Federation, we mostly know each other. It’s like a private communication session… This time, it’s mainly to let everyone get to know you.”
Dunstan chuckled: “After all, there are only so many Fifth Level beings in the Federation…”
“Yes…”
Su Lu agreed, but a gleam seemed to light up in his eyes, opening up a new idea.
With Spirit World Traversal, where can’t he go in this world?
In this era of inconvenient transportation, isn’t trading profitable?
‘The Chris Empire, as an old major power, still upholds the monarchy and the aristocratic system. They must have many inheritances… And the Dark Continent has the richest spiritual material resources… The trade between these two has huge profits.’
Ordinary Dimensional Transfer, not to say the distance limit, it could be easily disrupted by various dangerous terrains.
But Spirit World Traversal doesn’t have this problem!
‘However… If I’m going to capitalize on this, I need a large enough Space Marvel, with the largest internal space the better…’
As Su Lu fantasizes, Dunstan’s expression becomes solemn: “And… your brother… Rod, we have news.”
“Oh?”
Su Lu’s eyes lit up: “Where?”
“We learned from the Goddess Church that he has been listed as a missing person, suspecting that he has…fallen!” Just as Dunstan finished speaking, he felt an overwhelming intimidation hit him head-on.
In that moment, it seemed as if he saw purple patterns surfacing on Su Lu’s body, and his pupils turning into a vortex of the Spirit World.
“The church… they dare…”
Su Lu spoke in a low voice, the pressurizing intimidation slowly fading: “I’m sorry… I got a bit emotional.”
“It’s okay…” Dunstan said gently: “However, other crimes are not that serious, but if it is falling… we all know how firm the church’s stance is on demonic matters. I hope you won’t do anything impulsive.”
“Thank you for the reminder, I understand!”
Su Lu closed his eyes.
He’s only listed as missing, not yet indicted, representing there’s still a chance of salvaging it.
If he’s really fallen into the demon’s hands, and a bounty is issued, a legendary professional wouldn’t have the power to make the Goddess Church rescind the bounty.
At most, he can only ensure himself from ‘being implicated’! This demonstrates the church’s powerful presence!
