My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

"Looks like we won't be able to get in this time—"

After a self-deprecating laugh, the man turned around and prepared to lead his troops back the way they came, but they were wiped out before they could even get through the city gate.

He had assumed that the group of women in blue would also retreat in disarray, just like him.

After all, the Snow Knight himself was in charge, so who would dare to bite the bullet and try it?

however.

To his utter surprise—

These women ignored everything and walked straight toward the city gate.

Ignoring the astonished superhumans along the way, they calmly walked to the city gate, facing the Snow Knight's scrutinizing, icy gaze.

Immediately afterwards, the woman in blue who was leading the group took out a light blue invitation from her bosom and handed it over.

The cover of the invitation appeared to be the coat of arms of the Wilderges family, to which Nephiel belonged.

The Snow Knight glanced at him indifferently and then nodded to release him.

"???"

"no.....!!!"

Seeing this, the burly man from the Divine Court was so angry that he almost tore off his helmet on the spot.

When did these mentally unstable rioters learn to pull strings?

When did they establish connections with the powerful nobles?

This snow knight doesn't seem to be quite right in the head.

They actually let these Rain Scouts into the city?!

The burly man watched in disbelief as the group of women in blue gradually disappeared through the city gate.

So, are you still going to eat Oreo or not?

at the same time.

Upper City of Crescent Moon, the residence of the Serenis family.

Outside the main gate, a very impressive motorcade had been parked for quite some time.

Each carriage was decorated with exquisite gold trim and emblems, clearly belonging to someone of considerable status.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a dark gray robe.

He was slightly overweight, with a neatly trimmed mustache, and wore a ring with a purple gemstone on his finger.

At this moment, he was standing respectfully in the living room, led by his butler, Sebastian.

And in front of him—

Weiss was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the main seat, casually toying with a cup of black tea in his hand.

As Sebastian stepped back, the man immediately approached him with a fawning expression.

"Hello, my lord"

"I am a member of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, and my name is Zere."

"Here's the thing, our Starry Sky Merchant Guild has branches almost all over the world, but we've never established one in this border region of the Black Realm. This time, the guild plans to build a brand new base here in Moonlit City—"

"so......"

"We'll need permission from the Serenes family, who are in power here. In return, we can provide you with some valuable supplies as a token of our appreciation."

Zell's tone was very humble.

But his eyes were constantly observing Weiss's reaction without making a sound.

To be honest, Weiss had indeed heard of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild. It was undoubtedly the world's largest merchant guild, with a huge influence. This time, they were probably here because of the reputation of the Moon Thunder Emperor.

But even so.

Weiss was still somewhat conflicted.

"Um......"

He lowered his head slightly, pondering as he gently tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers.

Adele isn't here right now. If I finalize things right away, what if something goes wrong later? Wouldn't that affect the Selenes family?

Despite the fact that the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce has always given people a positive impression.

but--

The next second, in the midst of that brief conversation...

As a climate expert, I have successfully read the emotional fluctuations of the merchant opposite me.

Respectful, cautious, ingratiating, with a hint of nervous tension...

But there was indeed no malicious intent.

Since there was no malicious intent...

That's something I could consider.

After considering it for a moment, Weiss casually mentioned:

"Zel, um... does your Starry Sky Merchant Guild have any advanced potions for the Climate Master path?"

"The Climate Master's advanced potion, is it... a Tier 7 potion?"

Zell was taken aback.

The specified Tier 7 potion...

This is no ordinary rare item.

Tier 8 potions can be bought as long as you have money, but Tier 7 potions are practically priceless.

After all, the difference in combat power between them is like heaven and earth.

A single drop of a Tier 7 advanced potion would be enough to buy the entire Selenenis family mansion.

but--

Considering the strategic importance of establishing the Starry Branch in Moonlit City, Zell hesitated for a moment before forcing himself to go all out, despite the heartache in his eyes.

"Yes, I'll serve it to you right away!!"

The words fell.

He immediately smiled and apologized, then quickly returned to the caravan and searched through several carriages for quite some time.

A few minutes later, Zell finally returned, looking pained, carrying a delicate little silver glass bottle.

"grown ups......"

"We actually brought a drop this time, and we'll give it to you for free."

"Then, I'm counting on you to handle the license matter..."

Weiss glanced at the bottle of potion.

The silver liquid flowed slowly at the bottom of the bottle, emitting a faint glow that belonged to high-level extraordinary energy.

However, there was indeed only one drop.

Vera mentioned before that Rank 7 potions are sold by the drop.

Without hesitation, Weiss nodded and took it directly.

"Give it to me."

"..."

"..."

"Also, there's no need to worry about the license."

"Oh dear, thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much!!"

Zell forced a smile.

My heart is bleeding profusely.

After bowing repeatedly, he withdrew temporarily, fearing that the man would make unreasonable demands.

Weiss then weighed the small silver bottle in his hand.

According to Vera, one drop is definitely not enough to directly advance to level 7; you need to drink at least 8-10 drops to see any hope of advancement.

This is why while Rank 8 beings are now commonplace, Rank 7 extraordinary individuals are still extremely rare, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. They would have a certain degree of influence in any extraordinary power.

Even disregarding the issue of money, there are countless cases of extraordinary individuals dying from taking tier-specific potions before fully comprehending their own path.

but......

After understanding the secrets of the path of the addict.

Weiss could actually drink 7th-tier potions straight from the bottle.

Not far away.

Vera, who was walking down the corridor with a glass of juice in her arms, happened to see Vess putting the small glass bottle into his clothes.

"This guy actually dared to accept bribes..."

"Speaking of which, that should be an eighth-level climate master's potion, right?"

Vera muttered something under her breath.

However, she didn't plan to complain to Aunt Bai.

After all, Weiss had helped him remove the cuckold label from the bookstore last time, and he still owed him a favor.

So she pretended not to see it and walked away while drinking her juice.

-

-

Time flew by and it was evening.

Night fell over the city, in the second-floor bedroom of the Selenes family.

Weiss was sitting next to Elune, lost in thought.

He held the small glass vial containing a drop of a level 7 potion in his hand and pondered for a long time.

Actually, the reason why Weiss helped the Starry Sky Merchant Guild obtain the license was very simple. Now, with the incidents involving the Moon Thunder Emperor and the Moon Miracle happening in Moonlit City, the city and its surroundings were in complete chaos.

It's likely that more Level 7 transcendents, like the eighth quarter of the Star Bell, will continue to arrive one after another.

With Adele absent and no 7th-tier expert in charge, Weiss was filled with a strong sense of unease, and his desire to advance to the 7th-tier transcendent level became increasingly urgent.

Only by becoming a 7th-level individual can one achieve this.

Only then can they at least have a sliver of self-protection in this chaos.

Apart from that, all external things and benefits are illusory.

This is why Weiss made the deal with the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce without considering any consequences or responsibilities.

The extraordinary sequence is everything...

Once you become a 7th-tier transcendent being, you don't need to worry about any consequences.

After pondering for more than ten minutes, Weiss decided to give Elune, who was now fully conscious, some instructions.

"Elune, you can hear me, right?"

"Actually, I'm already an 8th-tier transcendent being through the Climate Master pathway, and currently I have a drop of a 7th-tier advancement potion in my hand."

"I've heard that tier 7 potions have a high chance of being fatal, but don't worry, I will definitely not die."

"However, just in case, in case something really happens to me, I'd still like you to act as a witness for me, uh..."

"After all, dying in your wife's bed in the middle of the night is too shameful. You must help me clear things up after you wake up. Don't let people misunderstand that I killed her because of sex..."
