Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 29 We're going to launch a super awesome surprise attack!

"What request?"

Upon hearing about this good news, the blond boy immediately perked up and eagerly inquired about it from the hunter diagonally opposite him.

"Don't rush, Mr. Time. Before that, let's first determine your actual strength."

"As you know, high risk, high reward. Since the advance payment is a Level 1 sealed item, it means that this entrustment is extremely dangerous."

The hunter continued speaking slowly and deliberately, words that were out of character for him. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked directly at Ron, as if to say, "It's your turn to perform."

Ron, however, gave him a knowing look and couldn't help but admire the hunter's discerning eye.

"Tell me, which true god do you want to kill?"

"The Lord of Storms, the Eternal Sun, or the God of Knowledge and Wisdom!?"

"Don't worry, once I've received your deposit, I definitely won't back down when it really matters!"

As Ron spoke, he thumped his chest loudly, completely ignoring the astonished looks on the faces of the other members present.

We're all members of the Twilight Hermits' Guild, so why are you so arrogant?!

In Ron's inherent logic, the Primal Resurrection = the Five Paths True God = extremely dangerous = a first-level sealed artifact.

"Uh, no, that's not necessary. This request isn't that dangerous."

The hunter was taken aback by Ron's remark, and finally had to mutter an explanation.

"I initiated this commission. The goal is to raid a key stronghold of the Rose School in the Southern Continent and seize an important sealed artifact inside."

"But the people here are so heartless. They never offer me, their lovely and charming companion, any help whatsoever. They are as cold as machines."

But as he talked, the hunter unconsciously began to return to his normal state, which made the twisted shadow, who had been enduring him for half a day, snort twice.

"Hunter, that's the heart of the Rose School, very close to their headquarters. No one's going to go there to their death with you!"

"See, this is how they rejected me!"

The red phantom, burning with flames, shrugged, telling of the coldness and warmth of human relationships in this world.

"I don't know if you're familiar with the Rose School, but their leader is an angel of the Prisoner Path, Sequence One, known as the Divine Abomination!"

"And within the Rose School, there is another Sequence Two angel, whose title is the Lord of Curses—Baranca!"

"These are two major problems that are almost unavoidable in this commission. I wonder if you, Mr. Time Sequence, would be interested in getting involved?"

The hunter didn't explain much in detail, nor did he tell Ron what preparations he had made.

After all, his purpose was merely to test the waters, and it would be even better if he could gain powerful allies as a result.

"The Rose School..."

Ron unconsciously recalled the superficial information he had previously gathered in the spirit world.

"Indulging desires...bloody sacrifices...prisoners...restraining desires..."

Apart from this, no further relevant information could be found in the spirit world.

"I can promise you I'll deal with those two guys!"

"But a single level-one sealed artifact isn't enough to cover my costs!"

Ron was well aware of the amount of money he would receive.

In the past, if you wanted him to take action, his mere demigod-like abilities wouldn't even be enough to get his attention, unless the supplicant could pull off something funny to amuse him, which might pique his interest and get him to help.

Now, having fallen on hard times, this pillar of society has no choice but to lower its standards and reduce its demands for compensation, all because of the pressures of life.

Ron's immediate and unwavering response caused everyone present to scrutinize him again, as if they were getting to know this arrogant brat all over again.

"No, this might just be a disguise; perhaps he's an ancient monster that survived from the Quaternary period..."

Some members had this thought in their minds.

In contrast, the hunter was stunned after receiving Ron's reply, seemingly not expecting that the problem that had troubled him for so long would be solved so easily.

"Ahem, Mr. Time, just to be on the safe side, I must confirm with you again, are you truly confident in dealing with the leader of the Rose School?"

The hunters became much more polite without realizing it; after all, when facing a strong opponent, hunters are usually able to control their loose tongues.

"Of course, killing him isn't out of the question, but that would cost extra!"

Ron's answer once again drew everyone's attention, because the implication in his words was quite clear: taking down a Sequence One was not an overly difficult task for him.

Being able to do this can only mean one thing.

King of Angels!

This little brat is actually the King of Angels!

No wonder he was personally invited to join the association by the leader, no wonder he didn't need a vote from all members, no wonder he acted so arrogantly.

If I were the King of Angels, I'd be just as arrogant!

But who exactly is He?!

There seems to be no record of such an angel king in the real world.

Just as everyone at the gathering was speculating, the hunter, who was actually a schemer, reacted faster and realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"No, it doesn't need to go that far. Mr. Time, you just need to stop the leader of the Rose School, and we'll naturally find a way to achieve our goal."

"As for the compensation..."

The hunter glanced at his companions around him, who seemed to be plotting something, paused for a moment, and then changed the subject.

"Mr. Time, what kind of reward do you want?"

He passed the buck to Ron, fearing that his offer was either too low or too high.

After all, he didn't know enough about this guy who was suspected to be the King of Angels, and he didn't have the resources to ask an King of Angels to take action.

"The reward I need is simple: a high-level magical item with spatial and temporal abilities!"

"This higher level refers to Sequence Two, or Sequence One!"

"really……"

The hunter sighed inwardly. This price was beyond his means at this stage, and he could only seek help from his family. However, he didn't even know if his family had the items the other party was asking for.

Even if he did have it, he might not necessarily use it for this kind of thing, even though he is one of the most valued members of the Einhorn family in the last hundred years!

"Mr. Time, would you be willing to accept other equivalent magical items?"

Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, the hunter decided that he still had to discuss the terms and negotiate the price.

"Other options are fine too, but since you're my first customer, I can offer you a discount!"

"If you don't have the item I requested, you can substitute it with something of the same level!"

Ron pondered for a long time before offering his price. Although other sealed items were of little use to him, they were of great value and could be traded for the scattered authority he possessed.

After forming a preliminary plan in his mind, he raised his head, swept his cold and dignified golden eyes around, and then spoke solemnly.

"You can do the same; you can exchange items like space and time for my help!"

The church was silent. Everyone kept those words in mind, for the opportunity to persuade an angel king was rare indeed!
