379. Obstruction
"The Federation's steel production broke through again last year... and has now surpassed the Chris Empire in every aspect."
"The newly designed ironclad warships are about to be launched... We will become the kings of the world!"
Alsen declared in a passionate voice, radiating powerful confidence. "We will completely conquer the ocean between the Old Continent!"
This is an exchange of intelligence at a gathering.
Upon hearing his words, the expressions of many Legendary Professional remained largely unchanged.
Especially in the Sulu region.
The design and construction of the Federation's ironclad warships is a massive undertaking, involving numerous companies and laboratories. It's no secret to Green Tree Castle; even the design blueprints are kept as backups within the Inner Circle.
When it was his turn, he thought for a moment, then coughed lightly. "The Black Death Society has three strongholds in White Eagle City, and has infiltrated a councilor..."
"The ' Lady Moon ' they worship has already entered the realm of Arcane through the moon!"
"The above is just a brief overview; you are welcome to purchase or exchange more detailed information."
Since taking back Beatrice, the Black Death Society has had almost no secrets from Sulu.
Furthermore, he didn't mind using the means of selling information to make the other party suffer a heavy loss.
"What?"
"This kind of core secret..."
Sure enough, just a tiny bit thrown out caused quite a stir.
Even Lawrence and Alsen couldn't help but glance at him sideways. "Is this the young genius? No wonder he's Banishment figure from Bolong; he can't be regarded as an ordinary fifth-tier professional..."
Sulu, however, stared at the three hidden figures opposite him, somewhat disappointed.
He had been using his Inspiration to observe the other side, trying to see if there were any hidden members of the Black Death Society who might react violently.
Now it seems that either the other party was hiding it very well, or I was just overthinking things.
After suffering a major blow, the Black Death Society is too busy hiding and licking its wounds to show itself.
"Ahem... Besides that, I'd like to acquire a Spirit World material— Spirit Ink! You can name your price. I have several sets of fifth-tier inheritances, advanced mystical knowledge, and other Spirit World materials..."
He withdrew his disappointed gaze, coughed, and continued speaking.
"Fifth-order inheritance? Advanced mystical knowledge? Spirit World materials?"
Several legends have clearly been altered.
Unfortunately, neither side proposed a deal.
Perhaps they genuinely lacked materials like Spirit Ink, or perhaps they felt the value didn't match.
"Spirit Ink?"
Just as Sulu was feeling somewhat disappointed, a cloaked puppet suddenly spoke up, "I happen to have some in stock."
"Oh?"
Sulu was pleasantly surprised. "What does Your Excellency need?"
"Cough cough!"
Just then, Lawrence, the [Red-Robed Archbishop] of the Church of the Goddess of Light, suddenly coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to him. "Spirit Ink is a very rare material, and I'm also quite interested in it."
Sulu's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
Not only him, but Dunstan next to him was the same.
"Your Excellency the Bishop..."
Dunstan glared at Lawrence. Although he knew that the Church's suppression of newly emerging legends was an unspoken rule, he still felt that this was going too far.
Please don't misunderstand.
Lawrence smiled amiably, "I just happen to be short of such materials, and I was just asking because, after all, the rule of the trade is that the highest bidder wins, isn't it?"
"Hehehe... that's how it is."
The cloaked figure let out a harsh laugh, "Information about the Black Death Society, fifth-tier inheritance, advanced knowledge... I have no interest in any of that. I only need one material: the Void Stone!"
"?"
Dunstan's gaze suddenly became even more peculiar as he stared at Sulu.
Sulu's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Lawrence: "Your Excellency, Bishop?"
Lawrence sighed regretfully, "Void Stone are extremely rare, and I don't have any..."
Looking at everyone's expressions, Sulu smiled and said, "That's quite a coincidence; I just happened to have a copy on hand."
He took out the box containing the Void Stone, and took out the blue stone. Its levitation and ethereal properties immediately moved the surrounding legends.
"This is... a mineral from beyond this world, Curio from another world."
Uvitan's face was drawn to the view from the tree, and he sighed, "If I had the chance, I'd like to study it too."
"How's this portion?"
Sulu stared at the cloaked figure.
"Too much, I only have three drops of Spirit Ink."
A glass bottle appeared in the cloaked figure's hand, containing a cloud of black, ink-like liquid. Tiny bubbles were constantly forming within it, creating a bizarre sight. "In terms of value, half of the Void Stone you possess are enough."
"Good."
Sulu nodded, quickly completed the transaction, and returned to his seat.
The next storyteller immediately stood up and declared loudly, "I need to find a creature called the ' Evil Eye of Madness '... They are characterized by enormous vertical eyes and numerous tentacles, possess the ability to roam the Spirit World, and have the potential to mentally corrupt ordinary people... I need to acquire large quantities of these creatures, dead or alive, the more the better."
' The Evil Eye of Madness? This kind of creature...'
Upon hearing this, Sulu seemed to be deep in thought.
He knew these creatures; they were of high status and primarily lived in the Dream Spirit World.
Otherwise, there would be no way to stop the legend seekers from searching.
The third layer of the Spirit World remains an insurmountable barrier for most fifth-tier professionals!
Of course, what surprised and puzzled Sulu even more was that this creature liked to gather around the dreams of powerful beings.
"Who exactly is this buyer...?"
Because the other person was hidden behind a cloak, Sulu did not recognize them.
But by any measure, he doesn't seem like a kind-hearted person.
At this moment, he stared longingly at himself and the trader from before.
After all, those who can produce spiritual materials like ' Spirit Ink ' and ' Void Stone ' must be researchers in the Spirit World!
To the other party's disappointment, Sulu and another cloaked figure remained unmoved, causing the purchase attempt to ultimately fail.
The ensuing exchange proceeded uneventfully.
After it was over, Sulu took Dunstan and went straight back to Green Tree Castle.
"Brigitte! I need to concentrate on one thing, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
Upon returning to the mansion, Sulu immediately gave orders to Beatrice.
He's going into seclusion to refine the ' Sealing Card '!
This high-level Curio can seal the ' Cursed Spirit '. It is an advanced version of the Thaumaturgy Card, possessing incredible power, and is also the source of the [Planeswalker's] strength!
"Finally... I've gathered all the materials."
Before the alchemy table, Sulu opened an invisible door with his Greed Glove and took out one precious material after another.
Half of the Void Stone, three drops of Spirit Ink, Mithril, Hora Crystal are missing...
The room was instantly filled with all sorts of rare and exotic colors, stirring up a spiritual atmosphere. Some of the materials even seemed to want to 'corrupt' the surrounding containers and actively flee!
