Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 147 Target

Upon hearing this, Father Utravsky nodded and said, "These conditions are all acceptable. I will report to the temple shortly, and it is expected to be completed in half a month."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Altair smiled and thanked him, then asked casually, "Um, I'm not sure what the price is for asking you to perform a Life Transformation."

Utravsky glanced at Emmett, then thought for a moment and said, "1.5 gold pounds will do."

Having just stated the cost, he feared Altair might find it difficult to accept, so he immediately explained the reason: "When life is forged, it requires not only a large amount of living human blood, but also the water of the Elf Spring, star crystals, gold,..."

Phlogiston and hematite—used in rituals, sealing, and other protective practices.

"Given the great help you have provided to the church, I can directly decide on behalf of the church leadership to help you make the body. You only need to pay the cost price of 1.5 gold pounds."

"Okay," Altair smiled and winked, adding, "Because this trip was extremely dangerous, I didn't bring many gold pounds with me. I'll have someone send them over later. Thank you again for your help."

Not long after, as Altair walked out of the Harvest Church, he heard the voice of Soren Einhorn Medici, who exclaimed, "I never expected you to be so successful, little one. First Adam, now a chosen one of the Earth Mother, and a member of the Witch's Church—you wouldn't happen to be the illegitimate child of some high-ranking official in some country or religion, would you?"

Altair didn't rush to reply to these words. Instead, he found a secluded corner near the church and, after jumping into the dream, said as he walked, "No, I'm just an ordinary person. As for why I was able to persuade them to help me, it's because I have value."

After saying that, Altair changed the subject and sneered, "Shouldn't you be irritable, angry, and going crazy right now? After all, I customized a female body."

"Ha," Medici said sarcastically, "For a mythical being like me, male and female bodies are the same."

"However, I suggest you ask Soren and Einhorn if they feel any surprise or delight, since it's been a long time since they've used a woman's body."

"Fool, we're one now."

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

"Anyone who pays attention to this is a fool."

And so, Altair listened as she jumped around, watching Soren Einhorn Medici and the other two mock and insult each other, occasionally chiming in to ridicule them. For a moment, she found it all quite amusing.

Altair always felt that Adam had deliberately arranged the three of them to share a body, so that they would restrain and pull each other to maintain their rationality, and that the seal would protect them from being assimilated by the spirit world and turning them into mindless monsters.

As they approached the steam train station, Medici asked curiously, "When did you meet Adam? Since you know we were set up by him, aren't you afraid he'll give you a role too?"

"I'm not afraid," Altair said firmly, "because He is already arranging things for me."

"As for when we met? — That's a question I don't know how to answer."

Medici smiled and said, "See, I won. I knew that paranoid Adam must have arranged a script for her."

"Hmm? You can communicate on your own?" Altair asked with a smile in his mind after ending the dream jump and arriving in the real world.

"Of course," Medici explained generously. "Just as Einhorn just said, we are now one. Sharing a single brain and communicating is very simple, you could even say it's instinctive. As soon as an idea comes to mind, the other two will know it very quickly."

Altair nodded and casually said, "According to you, doesn't that mean you have multiple personality disorder?"

Upon hearing this, Medici seemed displeased and clicked his tongue. Soren chuckled and said, "You're quite right. Our current state is indeed like a split personality, but it's not something we did ourselves. It's a product of human creation and manipulation."

"The 'Mother Path, Sequence Eight Physician' possesses an ability called 'Sew Souls Together,' which I think you should know is why we are special beings created by an ability similar to its."

Medici: "Why are you saying all this, kid? Didn't you notice the ability she just used? Dream travel? Plus, given her acquaintance with Adam, her understanding of souls and minds is definitely far superior to yours, you idiot."

Altair sighed. "You're right. I did study with Adam for a period of time."

"Alas, those painful days are unforgettable for the rest of my life."

Lost in thought, she went to the station ticket office, spent 15 sulphurs to buy a deluxe first-class seat, and then went to the waiting hall to order a cup of hot tea, which she enjoyed while waiting.

After a long silence, as if they had reached a consensus, Medici, acting as the representative, asked, "You bought—what is your main purpose in recruiting us?"

Altair didn't hesitate to answer their question, saying, "What else would we need 'Hunters' for? To throw you onto the battlefield, of course."

"After all, you all know that the 'Hunter' Witch' is someone who can't escape disaster."

"However, due to some special reasons, I cannot go to the battlefield or cause disaster, so I can only look for you. It won't take too long, ten years will be enough. I will definitely set you free after ten years."

"During this time, all you need to do is provide me with loyalty, the loyalty of a 'hunter'."

"That seems to make sense." Soren and Einhorn were silent for a while, then spoke in unison.

Medici, on the other hand, was not fooled. Instead, he chuckled and said, "What personal reasons for not being able to go to the battlefield? I think you just want to use us as targets."

Altair, unperturbed by his exposed intentions, chuckled and said, "If that's your opinion, then you're right. After all, that was indeed my intention."

.

"But I think you certainly won't refuse, after all, once you have a new body, you will definitely need to reinvent yourself and accommodate your extraordinary characteristics."

"In a sense, this is just a win-win cooperation. I provide you with manpower and weapons, and you go around creating disasters and launching wars to accelerate your role."

"How is it?"
