Luther: Urgently Buying Potions in Bulk

While Leonard vented his frustrations about working overtime, the meeting Above the Gray Fog continued.

The members of the Tarot Club are mostly looking to purchase Potion for their next Sequence; those with recipes are looking for materials, and those without recipes are asking for them. [The Hermit] Cattleya has also responded actively, giving many people hope for advancement.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Luther.

"Sorry, I don't have any leads on the Sequence 3 Potion recipe you requested at the moment."

Your connection is the "Queen Mystic," she already told me herself... Luther was somewhat disappointed after learning about the relationship between the [Hermit] and the "Queen Mystic," and his original expectations were shattered.

Where should we start looking next?

"Keep searching for me,"

Luther said, "I already have the blood of Angel here."

"I will."

[The Hermit] Cattleya remained silent for a moment, as if she were shocked by the news.

"Gentlemen."

After settling the Hermit, Luther looked around at everyone. "I plan to acquire a batch of Low Sequence Potion recipes and materials. If you have any surplus or have a way to obtain them, you can trade with me."

"I have two requirements. First, it should ideally be a combat-oriented Pathway, but I'll also accept a small number of support-oriented paths. Second, the recipes and Sequence must be consecutive; that is, I won't accept just Sequence 8 materials, but only the most basic Sequence 9 from the same Pathway..."

"For each ingredient or recipe, I'm willing to add a little extra to the market price. Sequence 9 plus 5."

For pounds, add £10 for Sequence 8, £20 for Sequence 7, and we won't accept anything higher.

Luther intends to arm his men, thus requiring a large quantity of Potion. Although he possesses a vast amount of Secrets Suppliant Pathway Potion materials, those are clearly unsuitable for his subordinates. The members of the Tarot Club, hailing from all over the world, can leverage their power to help him gather them quickly.

The Low Sequence materials don't cost many Pound, and he's not short of money right now.

Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing that.

[Temperance] This guy is planning to improve the strength of his fleet personnel, right...? Well, he just became the king of the sea, and his foundation isn't strong enough, so it's reasonable for him to have such a need... But, I'm actually a little envious of his subordinates...

Alger, the Hanged Man, quickly grasped Luther's intentions and began to calculate in his mind.

Yes, I have some connections to underground gatherings. If we're buying up large quantities of Low Sequence materials, we should be able to drive down the price. With the [Temperance] subsidy, this deal could be quite profitable!

"I understand, I'll keep an eye out for you."

He said it immediately.

While the other members didn't quite grasp these things as quickly as Alger, they all understood it was a good deal and agreed to provide Luther with some materials and recipes.

Among them, [The Hanged Man] promised to collect at least 10 Potion and recipes of Sequence 9 and 8, [The Hermit] and [The Moon] each provided 5, [The Sun] provided 3, and [Justice] and [The Magician] only promised, but the exact number they could collect was uncertain.

A simple calculation shows that Luther would have to pay at least £10,000 in cash.

"No problem."

Luther said, "The Hanged Man and the others sold some of the stolen goods for me, and the money they earned was enough to pay these rewards. Moreover, he wasn't naive enough to reward his men for nothing; instead, he sold them at half price and also planned to sign Contract stipulating that if the other party left his fleet in the future, they would either have their Characteristic extracted or be compensated at the original price."

"I also have clients."

"[The Moon]" Emlyn then spoke, asking for Mr. Fool's help by distributing wanted poster-like Portrait to the crowd. "These guys are followers of the Primordial Moon,' and I hope you can help me find them. I'm willing to pay 100 pounds for any clues, and 500 pounds for any leads!"

This is an internal test for young people within their Sanguine. The followers of the "Primordial Moon" are their Sanguine's enemies, lurking in Backlund with the intention of harming them. In order to gain a higher status and attention within the clan, and also to win the favor of Duke Olmer, Emlyn spares no expense to hire other members for help.

The followers of the "Primordial Moon"... are they related to the "Rose School of Thought"?

Luther frowned, quickly realizing that besides the "Mother Tree of Desire," some of the Lunatic in that cult also worshipped the "Primordial Moon."

He didn't ask any questions, but remained silent.

The Moon seems to be in Backlund. Once he returns, we can try to find relevant clues.

Thinking of this, Luther turned his gaze to [The Magician] Fors and said to her, "I will be returning to Loen soon and will contact you then. You can begin searching for clues about 'Mr. X'."

"Okay, okay."

Fors quickly replied, feeling both happy and afraid. She was happy because she could finally help her Teacher get rid of his mental illness, but she was afraid because she was about to meet the crazy and terrifying Mr. Temperance again, and the psychological trauma from their previous encounter was about to be awakened.

After that, no one else spoke.

"Let's have a free exchange."

Seeing this, Klein said calmly.

"Justice," Audrey spoke first.

"The atmosphere in Backlund has started to calm down recently. According to my intelligence, the Three Great Churches don't seem to have found any loopholes in the Royal Family. Although they are still keeping an eye on things secretly, they have gradually shifted their focus... This is understandable, after all, they still have to be responsible for their believers."

A bunch of useless trash.

Luther cursed inwardly.

But he also understood the purpose of [Justice]'s words, because he had just said he wanted to return to Loen, which was why she briefly introduced the current situation in the country.

Yes, now various unofficial underground organizations are slowly starting to become active.

[The Magician] Fors corroborated this from the side.

However, Mr. Temperance is about to return to Backlund, and who knows, he might just start another bloodbath... she added to herself.

"Also, there's another piece of news."

Audrey continued, "The situation in Feysac in the north has been quite unstable lately. Their current emperor has not appeared in public for a long time. I've heard from noble circles that he may be critically ill and on the verge of death..."

Feysac Emperor... that's Sophia's father, the one who forced her to marry?

Luther thought to himself, nodded, and said nothing.

This week, [World] and [Hermit] both went to the God War Ruins, so there's nothing new to share. [Sun] just returned to City of Silver from the camp in "Afternoon Town" and is currently under quarantine, so there's not much to say about him either.

[The Hanged Man] Alger thought for a moment and then said, "A few days ago, the King of the Five Seas, Nast, convened a new Pirate Assembly..."
