Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 118 The Failed Instigator

Vivian—no, she had no reason to set a trap for her own people, but he was indeed the instigator—wild—

Impossible. His disguise clearly indicates he knew his plan and used it to lure these nobles into becoming extraordinary assassins.

The discussion was forced to end as night approached dusk.

As the host, Grelint took the initiative to leave the living room temporarily and instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone.

Those who were interested in learning more formed a small group with the instigator and had some private chats.

After pulling Altair to a secluded spot, Audrey asked softly, "Sister Altair, are you really unaware of the Psycho-Alchemy Society?"

"I don't know." Altair shook his head after hearing this and advised, "I suggest you wait two more years before becoming an Extraordinary."

"As you just heard him explain, once you become an extraordinary being, you must always be on guard against mental pollution."

"This is not a good thing for a little girl like you who is only 15 years old."

After having dinner together, everyone said their goodbyes and left the Grynt's house.

When Grelint returned to the living room, Altair saw him take out a gift box, hand it to the instigator, and say with a smile, "Thank you so much for your help today. I have prepared the materials you needed, and they are all in here."

As they talked, Grelint, fearing that he might not be at ease, opened the gift box and let the instigator take a look.

After he finished checking the materials, Grynt closed the gift box again, took out 30 ten-pound notes from his pocket, and added, "These are some small gifts that everyone prepared for you. Please accept them as well."

After seeing the "Instigator" accept the item, Grylls added, "I'll need your help a lot in the future. When you attend other gatherings, please keep an eye out for potion recipes from the Apothecary path."

After putting away the materials and gifts, the instigator nodded to Greening, but said with some difficulty, "I will try my best. After all, as I just explained, this method is too special, and it is very difficult for Rune to obtain it."

After speaking, the instigator bid farewell to everyone and left the manor through a side door.

Grelint smiled and watched the man leave before turning to Altair and Audrey and casually asking, "Have you decided what kind of Extraordinary you want to become?"

"I like being an audience member," Audrey replied with a smile.

After listening to Audrey's words, Grelint turned her gaze to Altair.

But Altair simply shook his head, saying with a rather helpless tone, "It's still unclear."

"Well, there's no need to rush. After all, the most suitable one is the best," Grelint advised, worried that Altair might make a bad choice.

"And this extraordinary man, I always felt that he didn't have any goodwill towards us." Grylint stroked his chin and said this casually.

After saying that, he explained to the two of them, "Logically speaking, when people make recommendations, they tend to choose what they are most familiar with and understand the most."

"He calls himself a Seer of Secrets," so when making recommendations, one should lean more towards recommending the Seer of Secrets approach.

"But this person doesn't recommend it... well... it's not exactly that he doesn't recommend it, it's just that it feels like he's deliberately guiding us to choose another path, the hunter and the assassin."

"If I'm not mistaken, then he definitely has ulterior motives."

"So now, I'm prepared to wait and see for a while."

"Alter, I'm still unsure of the source of your news about this gathering of extraordinary beings?"

"The party itself shouldn't be a big problem," Altair said casually. "I stumbled upon this news about the extraordinary party while sorting through my father's belongings a while ago."

"After receiving this news, I had the family guard participate in a test, and he did not find anything unusual."

"However, I've also sensed what you're talking about, so I'm planning to wait and see for now."

After Altair reconciled his words, he asked, "What about your friends? They're not stupid; they must have chatted with you about it."

"Some people want to try, but there aren't many," Grynt said nonchalantly.

"Aren't you afraid those noble families will come looking for you?" Altair joked.

"That was their own choice." After saying that, Grylint smiled again, "I simply asked an extraordinary being to answer our questions."

"They didn't organize any rushed gatherings or provide any transaction channels. They also assured me that they wouldn't hold me responsible if anything went wrong."

"You'd better be careful," Altair said, then looked at Audrey and asked, "I'm leaving. When are you planning to leave?"

"I'll be leaving right away," Audrey replied with a smile.

After answering Altair's question, Audrey turned to Grelint and said, "Then I'll be going now. See you later."

"See you later"

When Altair got home, he took off his coat at the door and went into the hall, where he saw Vivian.

She was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book, when she heard the noise at the door. Looking up, she saw Altair return and stood up, smiling slightly.

"How was your day?"

Altair shook his head expressionlessly, then casually asked, "Not bad, darling. Do you remember who you told about the party location?"

Upon seeing Altair's expression and hearing his question, Vivian frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Did something happen? Did you miss the joke today?"

"No, not at all." After saying that, Altair walked to the sofa and sat down.

Vivian sat down on Altair's lap and asked疑惑地问道, "Then why did you come back so sullen today? Did this method not work?"

After sniffing Vivian's hair, Altair explained, "Sure, having fun can certainly help with the act of pleasure."

"But you probably don't know the true identity of that spy."

"He should be an instigator."

"When he was explaining extraordinary knowledge to Grylint and the others, he used his persuasive abilities to try to seduce those nobles into choosing the path of hunters and assassins."

"But he used his abilities poorly, and most people could see through his intentions, so I was very curious about his identity."
