Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Thanks to Will's advice, Altair has stayed at Sheffield Manor for almost a week without leaving the house.

During this period, Mr. A also initiated a trade invitation as scheduled, but Altair took into account the reason why "Orochi, Ouroboros" came to Backlund.

So he used the excuse that he had something to do and was unable to make the trade, and asked Simon to lead the rest of the team to make the trade.

Altair was genuinely afraid to face this angel, after all, this was an old angel who had lived for countless years and whose mental state was somewhat unstable.

The point isn't that he's mentally unstable, but that he's still alive after so many eras!

When he really does something to Altair, no one dares to guarantee their safety. Even Will only dares to play "hide-and-seek" with him. How can he face him?

When Simon returned after completing the transaction and described what happened during the transaction to Altair, he dared to be certain that 'Ulorius' coming to Backlund might really be related to him.

According to Simon's description, the person he was dealing with this time was not Mr. A, but a tall, thin man with long silver hair, a beautiful face, a slightly indifferent expression, and wearing a simple linen robe.

After Simon completed the transaction with him, he saw Mr. A give him some items and then leave the transaction location. Mr. A, holding those items, said that if he wanted to buy more "extraordinary traits," he could come back to trade.

A special individual participated in the transaction and purchased items with exceptionally high quality and unique characteristics. Among them:

I received three of the Sequence 7 'Witch' extraordinary traits, costing 3600 pounds.

Sequence 6 "Pleasure Witch" Extraordinary Trait, two copies, costing £12000

Sequence Six 'Potion Professor' Extraordinary Ability, one dose, costing £6800

Sequence 6 'Dawn Knight' Extraordinary Trait, two copies, costing £10000

Sequence Six 'Hypnotist' Extraordinary Trait, one copy, costing £6000.

Of course, these extraordinary characteristics are only a small part of what he has shown us.

As for the other "extraordinary traits," since Altair didn't explain them to Simon and Simon wasn't clear about the requirements, they weren't purchased.

This frustrated Altair, who regretted not going to the trade himself. He thought he might have been able to acquire more useful items if he had gone.

However, there's no use regretting it now; it's indeed inconvenient for me to see 'Urelius' right now.

Although Will said that he wouldn't discover her special abilities, she had also reminded herself to "try not to go out during this time."

Since he was originally a successor of the "Guo Dao" (a martial arts school), he instinctively wanted to avoid meeting him even more, in case he was discovered.

The extraordinary traits I acquired for £3.82 are more than enough to secure my advancement to 'Sequence Six', so there's no need to take any risks.

It's just a pity that I didn't get to purchase the extraordinary features of 'Series 5'.

It seems that the "extraordinary trait" of Sequence 5 is a scarce resource no matter where you are.

However, the price also exceeded Altair's expectations.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, you can buy things at a friend's price in the 'Tarot Club,' and I don't have a friendship with the Aurora Club, so they have no reason to give me a low price.

When Altair looked up, he saw Simon still looking at the 'Extraordinary Trait' on the table. Following his gaze, he could see that it was the 'Dawn Knight' trait.

Altair smiled, placed his hand directly on the box containing the 'Dawn Knight' trait, and asked, "You're ready to advance to Sequence Six Dawn Knight."

Simon looked away when he saw the hand on the box. Hearing Altair's question, he looked troubled and replied, "Yes, Count Altair, I have completely used the 'Weapon Master' potion. Could you please save a copy of the 'Dawn Knight' trait? I will raise the money to buy it as soon as possible."

Altair could tell from his behavior that he really needed this trait. After becoming an extraordinary being, most people's biggest wish is to advance to the next level, just like cultivators yearn to break through their realm and become immortals.

However, unlike cultivation, the advancement sequence in the mysterious world only requires people to digest the magic potion, find the correct magic potion recipe and materials, and then prepare and consume the magic potion.

Altair thought for a moment and asked Simon, "Do you have the Dawn Knights' potion recipe?"

"This..." This question immediately silenced Simon. As if he had made a decision, he looked up and said, "I once obtained a fragmented recipe on the battlefield, which listed some of the main and auxiliary ingredients. I want to take the risk and try it. It has the complete extraordinary properties, and a large portion of the auxiliary ingredients are also included. I think I should be able to withstand the mental shock."

After listening to Simon's words, Altair thought for a moment and then gave him the box containing the Dawn Knight's traits, saying, "Don't advance in the near future. I'll help you find the right recipe during this time, and then you can advance."

.......

Altair's actions also earned him a tearful speech from the veteran, who declared his eternal loyalty to the Sheffield family.

After seeing him off, Altair felt the world become completely quiet. The loud talking at such close range had made his ears ring.

For Simon and him, this could be considered an immense blessing.

Although he originally belonged to Altair's father's guard, it is a fact that the old baron died due to a failure to protect him on the battlefield some time ago.

This is already a huge taboo, and even if Altair abandons them, it would be considered normal behavior.

Simon was already deeply moved by his willingness to forgive and forget, let alone now that he was going to provide the recipe and materials to help him advance.

Moreover, a recipe for the Warrior's Path "Sequence 6 Dawn Knight" would cost at least £2000 in Backlund.

There are many reasons for the premium, but the main reason is that the military supply chain is generally controlled by the military of each country, and it is very difficult for outsiders to purchase such supplies.

As for Simon and his men purchasing through their old connections, that's impossible. After all, they've now left the military and can no longer buy through the old channels. In Backlund, they can only buy at a premium.

Of course, the most important reason is that he has no money. Now, after leaving the army, he earns a salary by working as a guard for the Sheffield family.

Although the Sheffield family did not treat them poorly by paying them less wages, and provided them with food and lodging, a weekly wage of £10, and benefits on holidays, each person only earned £650 a year.

The formula, along with its extraordinary properties, would cost a total of £7000, requiring him to work diligently for at least 10 years.

Altair gave him ten years' salary for free with just one sentence, so of course he had to show his loyalty.

Of course, for Altair, it wouldn't actually cost 7000 pounds; a special ability worth 5000 pounds would suffice.

The recipe is readily available; after all, the Sheffield family represents the military, so it's normal for them to have it in their own treasury. Just instruct Hahn to make a copy and give it to him.

Simon completed the potion preparation and advanced to the next level on the same day he received the formula, and then met with Altair again to demonstrate his loyalty.

The matter was resolved so simply that Altair gained the loyalty of a 'Sequence Six' without having to pay any price.
