A conversation with Mr. A

There are only a handful of Sequence 5 in the entire Trading Gathering, so very few people are capable of engaging in Demigod- level trading, and even fewer are organized like Mr. A.

Kronos recalled that in the original work, during the famous "Five Pounds Kill the Ambassador" incident, Mr. A's first choice was the Potion Formula the Manipulator, the Cataclysmic Interrer, the Unshadowed, and the Prophet.

After all, as a Sequence 5 Shepherd, advancing to Demigod is the most important thing. The Potion Formula for the Demigod "Black Knight" through his own Pathway can be obtained from within the Aurora Order, and Mr. A can obviously also accept other Adjacent Pathways.

Thanks to the original story, Kronos was able to recall the Potion Formula for the Manipulator and the Unshadowed, giving him the opportunity to make a deal with Mr. A.

As the number one Oracle in the Aurora Order, Mr. A is probably only one Potion away from advancing. Unfortunately, the Black Knight's Potion or Ritual is probably not easy to fulfill, which is why he had the idea of changing his Pathway.

Kronos didn't care much about the specifics; all he wanted was the chance to obtain the Mysticologist Potion recipe he desired.

The attendant took the Information written by Kronos and left, sending it to the back for statistics.

Soon after, Kronos saw two servants trotting out of a small room at the back. One of them ran to the blackboard in the center of the hall and wrote down Kronos's Information.

The other one ran up to the second floor, presumably to inform Mr. A of the Message.

During the gathering, Mr. A was supposed to be seated in the main hall, as this powerful Beyonder was needed to "keep the party in check."

But it's only eight o'clock, so Mr. A is still in his room and hasn't come out yet.

Not long after, a person came down from the second floor. This person wore a hood, hiding his face in the shadows, and silently watched the guests in the hall.

This unique aura made Kronos recognize him immediately; this must be Mr. A, a popular character in the Mysterious Fanfiction, known as the "Mad Beauty."

Kronos's gaze briefly touched Mr. A before quickly shifting back to the blackboard; he didn't want Mr. A to feel that he had been observing him.

It's best to avoid observing this kind of Lunatic; what if he suddenly gets impulsive and tries to kill you?

Kronos focused his attention on the blackboard. Although they were all Low Sequence transactions, what if there was some hidden gem among them?

"A pair of adult Manhar Fish eyes are needed."

"Dust left by Wraith, £165."

"Emperor Roselle's Notebooks, three pages, £20."

"The Cry of the Infant, flowers, 200 pounds."

"Mummy powder, 10 grams, 5 pounds."

"Merfolk Mucus, 30 ml, 29 pounds."

Kronos shook his head slightly; indeed, these were all low-level items, completely unappealing to Kronos.

Kronos understood this as well. Just like in the original story, Klein worked hard to earn money in the early stages to buy materials and make Potion.

However, once you reach the Mid-Sequence, the auxiliary materials for Potion can still be bought from the outside world, but the main materials have to be specifically sought out through the Tarot Club; they can no longer be collected in batches or casually.

Kronos should be very grateful that his family has survived for so long that they have "professionally cultivated" the materials needed for Mid-Sequence Potion; otherwise, he would have had to collect these materials little by little through various channels.

At this moment, Mr. A, guided by his attendant, arrived beside Kronos. He said to Kronos in a gentlemanly manner, "With your strength, sir, you surely wouldn't be interested in these low-level materials, would you? Would you be interested in having a private chat?"

Mr. A, after all, did not follow the path of the Seekers. Without the Eye of the Seekers, it was not so easy to judge a person's path and sequence. However, he knew what a Mystic was—someone who collected demigod potion recipes. At the very least, their sequence would not be lower than Sequence Six.

Kronos turned to look at Mr. A, and then asked with certainty, "Mr. A?"

Mr. A nodded slightly and then said, "That's right, it's me."

Kronos nodded and said, "Alright, you decide on the location."

Mr. A's voice held a hint of amusement as he said, "Please follow me."

Kronos followed behind Mr. A, but he felt uneasy; at this moment, he was somewhat afraid.

If Mr. A suddenly attacks him, with Kronos's current strength, he really wouldn't stand a chance. He doesn't even have a Sequence 5 Scroll on him, and he might not even have a chance to fight back.

A normal person would first consider making a deal with Kronos, an equivalent exchange, but who knows if Mr. A would directly kill him, then Grazing Kronos graze, and finally use methods such as Hypnosis Spirit Channeling to extract the Potion Formula.

Just as Kronos was regretting his decision, he had already followed Mr. A into a private room.

The two men sat facing each other at the Table. Mr. A spoke first, "Sir, you want the Mysticologist's Potion Formula?"

At this point, Kronos had a general idea: he couldn't let Mr. A feel like he was being controlled, or he might actually be killed by him.

To demonstrate one's strength and powerful background, one must first show that one's strength. Only in this way can one make a madman think twice. Putting aside whether one can obtain the Potion Formula, the main priority is to leave this place safely.

"What? The Aurora Order has them?" Kronos leaned back and asked in a slightly flippant tone.

Mr. A was somewhat surprised, not because he didn't expect Kronos to know he was a member of the Aurora Order, but because he didn't expect Kronos to point this out so directly.

"There's nothing in the meeting, but I can help keep an eye out. I have a pretty good network of Information in Backlund." Mr. A hadn't figured out what the other person was up to, so he didn't make any empty promises.

Then he continued, "But I need to Soothsayer what you'll offer in exchange. If it doesn't entice me, I won't waste my energy helping you."

Kronos laughed and said, "How long have you been in Backlund? The Shepherd's Potion should have finished digesting by now."

Kronos knew the gravity of the situation, so he wasn't so flippant when mentioning the True Creator; otherwise, the Fanatic of the True Creator would have certainly attacked immediately.

Mr. A is now genuinely unsure of himself. Judging from the voice, this is a young man, but he seems to know far too much.

Out of caution, Mr. A nodded slowly.

Kronos saw through Mr. A's caution and was overjoyed, for this was exactly what he wanted.

"I don't need to give you the Black Knight's recipe; with your seniority, you should already know it, right? But you have other options, such as Manipulator or Unshadowed. I have the Potion Formula; I believe that should be enough to get you to focus your efforts."

Mr. A was both surprised and delighted by Kronos's words. He was surprised because he hadn't expected Kronos to say exactly what he wanted in one sentence, and delighted because he had indeed heard what he hoped for.

Mr. A has had the Black Knight's Potion Formula for several years, but it is indeed difficult for him to gather all the main ingredients for the Potion on his own.

The Hanged Man Pathway wields the Authority of Corruption, so the Potion ingredients in each of his Sequence will contain some of this special power.

However, this material is indeed rare in the ordinary world. Mr. A has been collecting for so many years, but he still hasn't collected all the main materials.

Actually, there is another way: by accumulating a certain amount of contribution, one can exchange it for a chance to enter the True Creator Divine Kingdom, where there are many materials containing Corruption authority.

Mr. A worked hard for a long time, including planning the two Descent of God of the True Creator, all in order to gather these contributions more quickly.

But then, two other options appeared before him, and he was naturally overjoyed.

Switching to Adjacent Pathways does not mean that one no longer believes in one's Lord, but rather that one makes oneself stronger so that one can better serve the Lord.

"Are you saying I can get two copies of the recipe?"

Kronos was stunned. Was this guy really that shameless? Trading one recipe for two?

"You're overthinking it. It's an equal exchange: you exchange what you need for what I need. It doesn't mean that if you expend more effort, the Potion Formula you have will be more valuable." Kronos refused decisively.

Mr. A knew that this method of exchange was unlikely, but he was just trying it out.

"Is there anything else you need? I can use it to exchange for these two Potion Formula."

Normally, one recipe is enough, but Mr. A was really scared by the Black Knight's recipe. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to gather all the ingredients, so naturally he wanted to have more options.

Kronos thought for a moment, then said, "Your Aurora Order does have things that I could use, but I don't know if you can get your hands on them."

Mr. A was very enthusiastic; any hope was the best, so he asked, "Tell me, if the Aurora Order has it, I can get it."

Kronos hadn't expected that the two Demigod formulas would make Mr. A so excited, as if he'd drunk fake alcohol.

"Then get me a drop of Ouroboros's blood."

Kronos's words were like a bucket of water poured over Mr. A's head, instantly extinguishing all his excitement.

This person is the number one person in the Aurora Order, second only to the True Creator, absolutely the second-in-command.

Mr. A might have the opportunity to obtain a drop of blood through his devotion to the Lord and his contributions to the Aurora Order, but Mr. A is certain that the price would be no less than the chance to travel to the True Creator Divine Kingdom of the Creator.

Ouroboros, one of the eight King of Angel served the Ancient Sun God, was the Angel of Fate. He possessed the Beyonder Characteristic of two Sequence One Giant Snake, and was the most loyal follower of the Ancient Sun God.
