Chapter 63 The Aurora Society's High-End Gathering
Mr. C, who was very thin and looked unhealthy, said to Raphael, "Previously, the one in charge of Backlund affairs was the divine messenger A..."
Sir, but this fool messed up the coming of the "Lord," and he himself was killed in a muddle.
"I was just transferred to Backlund to clean up his mess."
As he spoke, he gestured for Raphael to follow him. As he walked ahead, he said, "The Aurora Society has secretly organized two gatherings in Backlund. One of these gatherings is open to everyone, even those who are interested in mysticism."
"The other one is only open to those who are 'intermediate extraordinary'. As I promised before, after introducing you to a few important members, I will take you to that high-end gathering."
As Raphael entered a corridor, about to ask a question, Mr. C suddenly stopped, then turned and said, "I hope you understand that you are the first important member I've developed in Backlund, understand?"
Raphael quickly realized what was going on: "Mr. A's former subordinate—"
He didn't say everything, but his meaning was clear: Mr. A's former subordinates obviously viewed Mr. C...
The gentleman had some reservations.
"I knew I wasn't wrong." Mr. C revealed a gloomy smile: "Madness is a good disguise."
Raphael smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying anything.
Mr. C continued leading the way, and Raphael then asked, "Why do members of the Aurora Society need to know each other? Wouldn't that make them easy targets for official extraordinary individuals?"
"This is a recent regulation," Mr. C said from the front. "It was personally issued by a saint, and only members at the level of divine messengers are entitled to know about it."
"However, I believe that this news will be announced to you soon."
"Now, all you need to understand is that introducing you to each other and having you communicate regularly is to allow you to get to know each other better and prepare for an important operation later."
Raphael nodded, having no further questions.
The two arrived at a reception room. Mr. C opened the door, and there were six members in the room, some sitting and some standing. They were all at the Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 levels.
These are the important members in Backlund. Of course, it is only in a metropolis like Backlund that there are so many mid-sequence members. In some important medium-sized cities, there is at most one divine messenger and a few low-sequence members.
Wagner and Calvin, whom Raphael knew before, were not among the "important members." These six members generally did not appear in public.
Under Mr. C's introduction, although the other members didn't smile much, the scene of getting to know each other was relatively harmonious.
Raphael chatted with them for a while and they had a pleasant conversation. He felt that his "Fallen Angel" potion was showing signs of being digested again.
This indirectly shows that none of the people present are good people.
After chatting for about an hour, they all put on hooded capes and went to attend the party that evening.
Raphael also received such a cloak, which, when worn, could basically cover his face.
The party was held in a fairly large living room, where rows of chairs had been set up in advance. When Raphael and the others came in, there were already quite a few people there.
At exactly nine o'clock in the evening, a man also wearing a hood came in through the back door and sat down opposite everyone in a tall chair: "Let's begin."
Raphael secretly probed with the white jade bead and was shocked to discover that this was actually a demigod!
He is most likely a saint of the Aurora Society!
Slightly surprised, Raphael then smiled, thinking that with such an organizer, the safety of the gathering was assured.
Extraordinary gatherings are generally similar in format: if anyone has any needs or anything for sale, they can stand up and explain.
If you do not wish to reveal your purpose, you can hand over what you need or want to sell to the waiter before entering the living room. The waiter will read it aloud. If there are other members who can make a transaction, the waiter will help them complete the transaction after the gathering without the parties meeting in person.
Raphael watched quietly as each member stood up and explained their needs or the items they wanted to sell.
After the gathering proceeded smoothly for more than half an hour, a female participant stood up and said, "I want to sell a magical item. It's aimed at 'hypnotists' through the 'audience' pathway, and mainly possesses the abilities of 'hypnosis,' 'madness,' and 'mind reading'—"
Before she could finish speaking, someone else said, "I'll offer 4000 pounds!"
Among wild extraordinary individuals, the trading of magical items is already rare, and this is a Sequence 6 magical item, which many people desire to obtain.
Raphael's eyes flickered; this was exactly the "control" magical item he needed. He immediately said, "I'll offer 4500 pounds!"
Someone else exclaimed, "4600 pounds!"
The first person to bid said, "4800 pounds!"
Raphael replied expressionlessly, "5000 pounds!"
The room fell silent. Although they were all "middle sequence" extraordinary individuals, even for those extraordinary individuals at the sequence level 5, 5000 was a considerable fortune.
Moreover, a magical item at Sequence 6 level can only sell for this price at most.
The person who made the initial bid seemed to grit their teeth as they said, "5100 pounds!"
Without hesitation, Raphael replied, "5200 pounds."
The other bidder shrugged and said, "Fine, it's yours."
Raphael looked at the female participant and said, "I only have 3200 pounds with me right now. Here, give me a few hours, and I'll raise the remaining 2000 pounds."
He thought to himself: Wait a minute, I'm going to rob a bank first.
He earned £1100 from selling the "Werewolf" trait and £1600 from selling the "Conspirator" trait, plus his savings...
I can only scrape together £3200.
The other party was clearly displeased and was about to say something when Raphael spoke first: "Do you expect everyone attending the meeting to be carrying over five thousand pounds in cash at night?"
The participant who just participated in the bidding didn't say anything, so it's clear that they didn't bring that much cash with them.
After considering for a few seconds, the female attendee said, "Let's do the transaction at the next gathering."
At that moment, Mr. C, who was not far away, suddenly said, "I'll lend you 2000 pounds first."
Raphael did not refuse the other party's kindness: "Thank you."
The transaction was finally completed successfully. Raphael obtained the magical item in the shape of a ring. At the same time, the other party also told Raphael in writing about the negative effects of this magical item: wearing it can easily make a person arrogant, thus causing them to make many crazy decisions or actions.
Raphael was stunned: This is what you call a negative effect?
