Chapter 131: Chapter 125 Trading Sunshine (Please vote for monthly tickets!)
“Very good, we all survived again,”
At the Alchemy Council, “Solar Gold”, who sat near the Chairman, was still the first to speak, his tone majestic and expansive, still possessing the solidity of a mountain.
Byrne remained silent, calmly reminiscing about everyone’s situation deep inside his heart.
“Solar Gold” was second only to the Chairman in status and was privy to information about the Lorne citizens. He also trafficked knowledge of the Spirit Realm and was very likely a well-informed important person, perhaps even a top-tier powerhouse at the Monarch Level!
“Spirit Essence” was a silent, petite woman seated third in the Alchemy Council. She could casually produce a Class 4 Extraordinary Material “meteor shard”, undoubtedly also a formidable figure.
Then there were the old voice of “Time Stasis Stone”, the young voice of “Moon River Stone”, and the female “Star Metal”, who was persistent in searching for the Lost followers.
Byrne was very clear about one thing, although “Time Stasis Stone” and “Moon River Stone” sounded old and young respectively, in reality, they might not be an old person and a young person at all.
Without a doubt, everyone present could easily disguise all sorts of external characteristics; they could even fake the gender they presented.
To be honest, Byrne still couldn’t understand why Viscount Bast would bring him to such a high-level gathering of Extraordinary Exponents.
Whether regarding confidant level or personal strength, he was far from ranking among the “supporters of the Lion”.
Although he couldn’t fathom it, he still remembered that three years ago, Viscount Bast explicitly stated that he wanted to utilize some kind of value from him.
After all, what exactly did Viscount Bast value in him?
Byrne had pondered this matter for years and also knew he had to be wary of Viscount Bast to avoid being used as some kind of sacrifice.
Regrettably, up to this day, despite the Fischer family having greatly benefited from the Lion clan, Byrne still didn’t have the answer to Viscount Bast’s riddle.
Then he could only continue to take advantage of the benefits.
Once again, the Chairman in a purple robe, whose features remained completely unclear, slowly spoke in a non-human, strange voice:
“You may proceed with the exchange.”
“Star Metal” in a light blue robe sighed softly and slowly said:
“Alas, another three years have passed, yet I still haven’t found anyone from the Lost Cult. They’re really too good at hiding. However, I did find some traces left by Last Blood.”
She seemed extremely dejected, as if the inability to find the Lost followers was akin to losing hope in life.
Byrne only felt a bit fearful, not understanding why “Star Metal” was so obsessed with the Lost followers, never giving up over the years. Couldn’t she change her life’s goal?
“Star Metal” mentioned this “Last Blood”; what was it?
“Last Blood!”
Upon hearing “Last Blood”, the elderly “Time Stasis Stone” was surprisingly the first to exclaim, his voice filled with apprehension, as if “Last Blood” was a very terrifying secret organization.
Byrne made a timely comment that fit his role as the newcomer.
“Last Blood, what is that? I’ve never heard of it. Is it some kind of secret organization?”
“Moon River Stone” replied in a calm, youthful voice:
“Last Blood is a secret organization that worships the false god ‘Witch of Demise’. It has been in existence for thousands of years. They have three leaders passed down through generations, each holding a drop of the ‘Witch of Demise’s blood, also known as ‘Last Blood’.”
He paused, lowering his voice to say:
“According to the church canon, each drop of ‘Last Blood’ possesses vastly different powers of formidable strength, almost equal to those of forbidden relics with single-digit numbering.”
“More importantly, members of Last Blood can use them without a personal cost, only requiring the offering of sufficient sacrifices.”
An ancient organization existing for thousands of years, worshiping the false god “Witch of Demise”, Byrne silently noted the information about “Last Blood”.
He felt that the Eastern Four Kingdoms were becoming more chaotic. It seemed like after the oppressive power of the major churches weakened, various secret organizations unheard of before were gradually emerging.
It was clear that this was no good sign.
Actually, Byrne feared those who did not abide by order and rules, who could go on a killing spree at any moment “colleagues”—more than the churches and nobles out in the open.
“I have something to trade with you, it’s a new Alchemy Technology from Lorne people, a method to store sunlight in bottles, quite fascinating.”
“Solar Gold’s” voice was robust and powerful, the new technology making many in the Alchemy Council pause.
Byrne asked, not understanding, “There’s technology to store sunlight in bottles? I only knew that Lorne and Qi Yao People have ways to infuse sunlight into metal, to create what’s called ‘Solar Gold’.”
“Haha, indeed, my codename ‘Solar Gold’ stems from exactly that phenomenon.”
“Solar Gold” laughed heartily, continuing:
“Yes, for a long time, Lorne people and those above the Aphotic Sea have had trade relations. They exchange ‘Solar Gold’ for many important resources from the Aphotic Sea regions.”
“Solar Gold” nodded, a transparent glass bottle appeared in his hand, and surprisingly a gentle golden glow was floating at its center, undoubtedly physical sunlight:
