Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 17: The Scholar's Ring

The Aurora Society is a secret organization with a network spread across various countries. It has 5 saints and 22 messengers, all of whom are code-named with letters + honorifics.

For example, "Mr. A", "Mr. Z", "Ms. D", etc.

Basically, each Divine Envoy is at least a Sequence 7 Beyonder, and each is responsible for coordinating the affairs of the Aurora Society and managing personnel in an important area. For example, Mr. A is in charge of Backlund, Mr. Z is stationed at Enmat Port, and so on.

These messengers are all fanatical believers of the "True Creator" and are influenced by this fallen evil god. They cause chaos everywhere and lead hostile actions against the Orthodox Church.

Considering the importance of Ahowa County, Roger had always guessed that there was a local messenger in charge, and today his guess was confirmed.

"I just don't know what the relationship is between this person and Mr. Z? And what role did he play in the advent of the true Creator Son of God?"

Although he couldn't figure it out for the moment, Roger knew very well that the other party was extending an olive branch.

He didn't know the market price of the Elf Dark Leaf, but considering its grade, Roger judged that it should be worth at least 30 to 50 gold pounds.

However, Mr. C only asked him to pay a symbolic amount of 10 gold pounds, which was obviously an act of currying favor.

Although the implication was obvious, he did not reject it. The Elf Dark Leaf was an auxiliary material he urgently needed and was directly related to his advancement to Sequence 8.

Without hesitation, he took out 10 pounds and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter took the money, took out another piece of paper and handed it to Roger.

"Sir, here are the details of all the items for sale that have been registered for this gathering. You can take a look and see if there is anything that meets your needs."

Roger took the paper and looked at it. Most of the things mentioned on the blackboard were the same, but the descriptions were more detailed.

In addition, there are some goods that are not registered on the blackboard, which seem to come from off-site channels.

Hans Vincent also received a piece of paper like this, but when Roger looked up, he found that not everyone had such treatment.

"Could it be that the Aurora Club is giving special treatment to internal members or those awaiting assessment?"

Roger guessed secretly and quickly browsed the contents of the paper.

There was nothing suitable in the "Materials" and "Recipes", so he turned to the "Magical Items" column.

"The 'Evil Pendant' grants the wearer the ability to use three types of demonic spells. Price: 330 gold pounds.

"Side Effect: Each use of this spell will cause the wearer to lose some of their conscience and compassion. This loss is irreversible. If the user does not exercise restraint, they will eventually be completely corrupted by evil desires and become cruel and ruthless."

"The 'Ouija Drawing Board' can reveal nearby spirits to answer your questions, or you can hire them to complete tasks within their capabilities for a specific fee. Price: 620 gold pounds.

"Side effects: A single use should not exceed 10 minutes. After use, it must be sealed in a silver or gold container at least 5 centimeters thick. Otherwise, it will subtly affect those who come into contact with it, causing them to become mentally abnormal and unable to distinguish between the living and the dead."

……

In addition to magical items with specific uses, there are also some amulets or accessories that can improve luck, etc. Roger was dazzled for a moment.

"...'Scholar's Ring', wearing it can temporarily gain the 'Silent Concentration' personality, reduce unnecessary emotional activity and feelings, and enhance memory, learning ability, and the power of ritual magic.

"Side effects: The single-time wearing time cannot exceed 1 hour, otherwise it will cause the inability to produce normal emotions and even touch within 12 to 24 hours... The price is 400 gold pounds?" Roger gently stroked his chin, revealing an interested look.

"Could it be a magical item condensed from the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Reader' pathway? It's very likely."

Compared with other magical items, the side effects of the "Scholar's Ring" are almost negligible, but in sharp contrast, such a thing is very suitable for Roger at the moment.

Although the "Conspicuous Bag" potion gave him the ability to use ritual magic, it also came with the negative effect of "reducing the probability of receiving a response."

Although not all ritual magic can be responded to, the extraordinary person of the Ghros Path known as the "Big Alarm Clock" seems to emit some vibrations at the astral body level that are displeased by the gods, which further reduces the success rate of ritual magic, which is not high to begin with.

After reading the description of the "Scholar's Ring", Roger immediately realized that the silent nature of this thing would act on both the mental body and the astral body of the wearer, which would be of great benefit to him in reducing his inner "noise" and improving his shortcomings in performing ritual magic.

After all, Roger would need to seek help from Mr. Fool and other gods later on, and he didn't want to disturb or even annoy these beings from a distance because of his own characteristics...

In addition, this "Scholar's Ring" has an additional function.

That is to help Bandit, who is not very smart, to play the role of "apprentice", so that it can digest the potion as quickly as possible and better assist in his work.

"Why, is there something you like?"

Heinz Vincent noticed Roger's change in attitude and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Vincent, I want this 'Scholar's Ring'." Roger did not hide it.

In order to prevent anyone from getting there first, he immediately called the waiter and expressed his willingness to pay the corresponding price and purchase this magical item.

Seeing that only 450 gold pounds were left of the 40 gold pounds that he had not even warmed up yet, Roger couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

But thinking deeply, he realized that these were all valuable investments, so he stopped worrying about it.

After that, there was a long wait. After about forty minutes, the waiter finally stood up and clapped his hands softly:
"Dear guests, the time for this gathering has expired. Please wait for further notice for the next gathering."

The originally lively discussion suddenly came to a halt. Some participants were clearly reluctant to continue, but seemed to be under pressure from Mr. C and had to stop temporarily and talk about it later.

Roger also received a plain silver ring and a silver translucent leaf with deep red veins.

He put the ring on his hand and immediately felt that his mind seemed to have fallen into a tranquil lake. Not only did his observation and thinking abilities improve significantly, but even the restlessness that had been faintly present deep within him subsided a lot.

"The pain sensation has also decreased."

Roger pinched his thigh hard, but felt almost nothing.

This satisfied him greatly, and he took off the ring and put it in his pocket.

"The Beyonder gatherings I host have strict requirements for the authenticity of goods. Anyone who dares to deceive others here will be severely punished."

Just as Roger was thinking, he suddenly felt a very pleasant and pleasing male voice coming from behind him.

He turned around curiously and found that the man wearing a goat mask had appeared behind him at some point.
