A Mid-Sequence Gathering

After explaining the matter, Kronos found a place to change his clothes, and when he reappeared, he was already wearing a Warlock's robe.

After my shopping trip a few days ago, the Potion isn't being metabolized as quickly anymore, but it's still having an effect.

Therefore, Kronos planned to take advantage of Bayam's prosperity and use this role-playing method until it was no longer needed.

The Southern Continent isn't as prosperous; we'll find a village to play tricks on them then.

So Kronos didn't go anywhere else, but just wandered around the most bustling blocks of Bayam, making the people in the shops look at him strangely, thinking he was a thief scouting the place.

If he hadn't done anything inappropriate, someone might have already called the police.

However, Kronos's skin was now so thick that it was impervious to anything; even strange looks could elicit a smile from Kronos.

Amyrius, who was at the Navy Base, was both amused and exasperated upon hearing the Message.

"This little guy is really ruthless to himself. No wonder the Argel Family's advancement hasn't been very fast. Most nobles would find it hard to swallow their pride to do this kind of role-playing. Fortunately, his Pathway and work can be combined," Amyrius thought to himself.

Despite Kronos's tireless efforts, by the afternoon of the Mid-Sequence Gathering, the Potion's digestion rate had slowed considerably, indicating that this method had reached its limit.

Kronos was still quite happy, after all, he had come to terms with some things and made some choices, and he wasn't really shameless.

After returning to the Inn and changing his clothes, Kronos went alone to the Fragrant Tree Leaves Bar.

Gner wasn't supposed to attend this party anyway, and besides, Kronos didn't know where he'd gone for the past two days. He only saw a note from Gner last night saying he had something to do and that Kronos shouldn't worry.

Kronos wasn't worried about Gner's safety, after all, this man's experience far surpassed his own, and if Gna couldn't solve the problem, it was questionable whether he could help.

Upon entering the Fragrant Tree Leaves Bar, Ozil could be seen sitting in a corner from afar.

As Kronos approached, he asked, "Boss Ozil, why are you sitting in the corner of your own Bar?"

Ozil chuckled. "I'm too old to squeeze into crowds anymore, but the reason I opened Bar is because I love this lively atmosphere, and it still is. So I'll just enjoy the fun in this corner."

Kronos chuckled and said, "Boss Ozil really has a youthful mindset."

"My body is getting old, but my mindset can stay young. If my mindset also gets old, then I'll have truly entered my twilight years," Ozil said.

Before Kronos could react, Ozil continued, "Come with me, let's go to the party."

After saying that, Ozil got up and walked towards the back of the Bar, Kronos naturally followed in Ozil's footsteps.

After exiting through the back door of the Bar, a carriage was parked in the alley behind the Bar. Kronos followed Ozil into the carriage.

"The safety of this gathering is very guaranteed, so the time and place are always the same. The gathering takes place at 7 pm on the 20th of each month, and the location is where we're going in a bit."

"I don't know if you'll come to Bayam for parties again. If you will, you can memorize the route and come by yourself later," Ozil said understandingly.

Kronos wasn't sure about this either, but memorizing the route wouldn't be a problem, so he started silently memorizing it.

The carriage arrived at a restaurant not far from the inn where Kronos Inn, and Kronos was quite surprised when he got out of the carriage.

After all, this is a bustling area of Bayam, where regulations are extremely strict. He never expected to hold a party here.

Ozil noticed Kronos's surprise and said, "Don't worry, the main guarantee of safety for this gathering is its organizer, who is a local nobleman from Bayam."

"Back then, I organized a small gathering to become Beyonder. I never expected it to grow in status and become more and more prestigious. The current organizer is a descendant of that nobleman from back then. In the Rorsted Archipelago, the control over Beyonder isn't as strict, and various parties will give him some face, so it's quite safe."

Kronos wasn't too worried, just a little surprised. He listened to Ozil's words, nodded silently, and then followed Ozil inside.

At this time, most restaurants are still open, and this one is no exception; there are still several tables of customers eating inside.

"Hello, how many are in your party?" the waiter at the door asked as Ozil and Kronos entered.

"We're not eating, we just wanted to use your kitchen, is that alright?" Ozil said directly.

The waiter replied, "What do you need from the kitchen? Our chefs are very professional."

Ozil continued, "I wanted to bake myself a cake because tomorrow is my birthday."

The waiter understood and said, "Okay, please follow me."

Then a waiter led the way, with Ozil and Kronos following behind.

"Was that a code?" Kronos asked.

Ozil didn't hide anything. "That's right, it's a code. It's because this gathering is very safe that the code hasn't changed for several years. If you come alone, just say the code."

The two followed the waiter to a doorway on the second floor. The waiter turned and said, "This is it. Please go in."

Ozil pushed the door open and went in, followed closely by Kronos.

This gathering of Beyonder was completely different in style from any Kronos had ever attended.

This was a fairly large room with a large round table in the center. About twenty people were sitting around the table, some wearing Mask and others with their faces exposed.

The room was brightly lit; if you had good eyesight, you could even see the fine hairs on the face of the person opposite you.

This was the first time Kronos had ever attended such an open and aboveboard gathering.

All that could be heard was Ozil saying, "This is Klein, who came with the merchant ship. He's also a Mid-Sequence Beyonder, so I brought him along."

Kronos's face twitched. Did they even need to introduce themselves at this kind of gathering?

The others remained silent, so Ozil gestured for Kronos to sit down.

Before long, several more people came in from outside and sat around the round table.

Just as it reached seven o'clock, a voice came from the room's ventilation vent. "Transaction begins."

Ozil explained to Kronos, "That's how this party is; the organizer doesn't show his face, so we only know he's a local nobleman, but we don't know who he is."

Kronos nodded silently; this level of caution was more like the secluded gathering of Beyonder.

However, what Kronos didn't know was that the gathering was originally intended to be very discreet, but as it went on for a long time, everyone who participated knew who the others were.

Even though some people are still wearing Mask, there are only so many Mid-Sequence in a city. After meeting them many times, they gradually figure out who they are.

However, these veteran members don't expose each other's tricks, but each person will "trick" a new member like this when introducing them to the new team.

The only member of the gathering who has remained cautious until now is the organizer. After all, he is a nobleman, and it would be inappropriate for him to do things too ostentatiously, so he has not shown his face.

As the gathering began, a large number of people came to buy Potion Formula, mostly Sequence 6 and Sequence 5.

Kronos was unaware that these members rarely shared this Information anymore, as they all already knew about it among themselves, and that this Information was intended for Kronos's benefit.

Unfortunately, Kronos didn't know these recipes, because by Sequence 6, Potion Formula were very rare and difficult to collect.

Seeing that Kronos did not react, the veteran members were not disappointed. After all, they knew better than anyone how difficult it was to collect Potion Formula of this caliber.

Ozil chimed in, "Giving out the Potion Formula first is just to let you know what they need. And since you're new, you can be the first to speak up about your needs."

Kronos nodded, then said directly, "I need to buy Stone Monster Powder, just a small bottle will do."

Actually, Kronos didn't have any urgent needs, so he chose to help Gner collect the last major material for the Weapon Master.

Just then, a Mask man spoke up, "This is the Weapon Master's Potion Formula, isn't it? Ozil, didn't you say he was Mid-Sequence?"

Kronos quickly explained, "This was collected for my friend; I'm not Warrior Pathway."

After hearing Kronos's explanation, the man said, "Three hundred and fifty pounds, no bargaining."

"No problem." Kronos immediately agreed, then quickly counted out the money and handed it over.

After taking the money, the man tossed a small Bottle over.

After catching the Bottle, Kronos gently uncorked it, sniffed it lightly, and then activated his Eyes of Mystery Prying to examine it, confirming that it was Stone Monster Powder.

Kronos nodded to the man and then sat back down.

After the newlyweds spoke, the seating arrangement proceeded clockwise.

The person to Kronos's left said, "We're selling three Charm, all from the Church of Storms, but they're only usable once or twice, and their power is around Sequence 8."
