Mission

Alger had long known that Beyonder characteristics would be revealed after Beyonders died, so he wasn't surprised by Tower's explanation. Seeing that Miss Justice didn't seem interested in this characteristic, he asked, "How much do you plan on selling the Lawyer characteristic for?"

Although he didn't need this item, he could use it to nurture and reward his trusted subordinates. Furthermore, he knew an Artisan. If he were to turn the characteristic into a Beyonder item, he could earn quite a bit from it.

In short, he would not lose anything.

"400 pounds." Ebner didn't ask for much. He knew that Alger wasn't Audrey. Unless necessary, he wouldn't buy things at a premium. And the target customer of this characteristic was Alger.

"A very fair price… I want this characteristic." Alger nodded. As he needed to purchase the Wind-blessed formula in Ebner's hands, he had been raising money recently, so it wasn't a problem for him to take out 400 pounds in cash.

Seeing that the characteristics of the "lawyer" had been sold, Ebner stopped his "clearance" behavior.

Although he still had quite a number of good items on hand, such as the charms that could activate the Language of Foulness, considering that he was still bait released by the Mandated Punishers, he could encounter Demoness of Agony at any time.

Therefore, he decided to keep it for self-defense.

At that moment, Audrey had just enlightened herself and her mood eased slightly.

When she saw that The Hanged Man and Tower had completed their transaction, she seemed to recall something as she asked with a smile, "Mr. Tower, do you have anything else to sell? For example, those charms you made?"

Eh? That's right. I can sell those low-cost charms too… Although the price definitely won't be high, I can sell them at a low price!

But on second thought, a charm with Sequence 9 powers would only cost two to three pounds even if it was premium. How much would he have to sell to make up for the money needed for the other main ingredient?

And even if the cost of creating charms with the powers granted to him by the White Eye was very low, it still required time… It was truly not worth it.

Ebner thought for a moment before giving up on the idea of selling charms to make a fortune. Instead, he had another thought. Hence, he smiled and asked, "Miss Justice, it looks like you have a good impression of the charm I gave you?"

"Thank you for your gift, allowing me to experience the powers of an Apprentice." Audrey felt that Tower was truly a gentle gentleman. She had only expressed her yearning for the powers of an Apprentice at the Tarot Club, and he had specially given her a charm that could open the door.

"I do have many similar charms. Miss Justice, do you need them?" Ebner asked with a smile.

Justice originally wanted to say a hundred, but considering how it was impossible for Mr. Tower to create so many, and how "sacrificing" so many things at once was disrespectful to Mr. Fool, Audrey finally said reservedly, "I want ten charms with different effects. It's fine as long as the level is similar to the previous one… Yes, Mr. Tower, what do you think of 50 pounds?"

This is twice as much as I imagined. Miss Justice is really generous!

Despite her thoughts, Ebner still reminded her, "This charm can't be used directly in battle. Ten of it is only worth 30 pounds at most." He didn't want her to feel that he had cheated her of her money when she learned the true price in the future.

"It's alright, Mr. Tower. Didn't you not charge any fees for explaining the law of Beyonder characteristics? Besides, I previously promised you to pay attention to the Tree of Elders' Tree of Hearts, but I haven't made any progress… Therefore, this premium will be my compensation," Audrey said with a smile.

20 pounds as an apology gift… Miss Justice sure is rich! Sitting in the seat of honor, Mr. Fool sighed inwardly once again. His weekly salary was only 4.5 pounds. 20 pounds was his salary for more than a month.

Ebner shook his head with a smile. Be it 30 pounds or 50 pounds, he had no intention of accepting the money because he actually wanted to use the charms as payment for a commission. Hence, under Justice's expectant gaze, he said,

"Miss Justice, actually, I wish to entrust you with something… Ten charms will be the advance payment for the commission. If the follow-up information is of value, I'll also give you a payment that will definitely satisfy you… How about it?"

"What commission?" Audrey was taken aback as she asked cautiously.

"I wish for you to investigate Earl Lorena of the Loen Kingdom… I need his detailed information," Ebner said as he deliberated over his words.

"Earl Lorena? He seems to be a palace noble…" Audrey muttered to herself before looking at Ebner seriously and asking, "Mr. Tower, what do you want to do?"

She did not want to harm others because of her, so she had to ask for the reason before giving the information.

"I suspect that Earl Lorena is related to the Demoness Sect. There might even be a Demoness in one of his properties… Miss Justice, I'm guessing that they might do something to harm Backlund. That's why I asked you to investigate Earl Lorena."

Ebner knew Justice's concerns, so he'd nailed the court earl and the Demoness together as soon as he'd opened his mouth, giving his commission a justification.

As expected, after hearing Ebner's words, Miss Justice, who already had some understanding of the Demoness Sect, was immediately filled with a sense of "mission" and "responsibility." She immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Alright, Mr. Tower, I will quickly investigate Earl Lorena."

And when Alger heard the Demoness Sect's name, his heart stirred slightly. He asked without batting an eyelid, "Which Sequence Demoness is it?"

Ebner glanced at him and knew that he was testing him again. He was probably using the level of the Demoness he was investigating to reverse engineer his Sequence. However, he didn't mind it and only replied solemnly, "It's a Sequence 5 Demoness of Afflictions!"

"Sequence 5…" Alger was alarmed when he heard that. After all, a Sequence 5 could already be considered a powerhouse. In Alger's eyes, the few pirate admirals at sea were only at that level! And for Tower to be tracking such a dangerous figure… It meant that his strength wasn't simple. It was no wonder he knew so much.

As for Mr. Fool, who was sitting in the seat of honor, although he was also in awe of Sequence 5, to him, existences above Sequence 7 were very strong. They were existences that could beat him, The Fool. There was no difference.
