Chapter 117 Instigation
After lunch on April 27, 1347, Altair arrived at the Grylint house as promised.
Compared to Sheffield House, Grünter House is decorated more luxuriously and ornately, but this display of wealth does not appear vulgar.
Huge floor-to-ceiling windows, intricate and exquisite carvings, and luxurious carpets that are both comfortable and clean.
Led by Grelint, Altair entered the living room and found it already filled with men and women, all of whom could hardly contain their excitement and joy.
As someone who knew all of this, Altair wasn't surprised. After all, understanding the extraordinary world was something these restless noble descendants had always longed for.
With Grelint's introduction, Altair gained some understanding of the people, such as the count's second son, the viscount's eldest daughter, the baron's eldest son, and so on.
Although these successors may not be the strongest or top-tier group in the Kingdom of Rune, they are certainly a pillar of the nation.
Under Altair's deliberate guidance, Grelint portrayed her as the sole surviving heir of a "fallen" family.
She was able to inherit the title of Earl because His Majesty King George III, out of pity for her father's merits on the battlefield, made an exception for her. She was one of the luckiest of the lucky.
As he explained, the crowd's curiosity about Altair diminished.
Her status and value were increasingly disregarded, but due to aristocratic etiquette, no one chose to do anything to belittle her.
After all, none of the people present were fools. There was no need to cause trouble when there was no animosity between the two sides.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, just as everyone was preparing to have afternoon tea, the "secret spy" arrived as promised.
At this moment, he was wearing a black hooded suit and entered the manor through the side gate of the Grynt family home.
Even after entering the hall, they refused to take off their hoods.
His actions also greatly disappointed those who wanted to catch a glimpse of the extraordinary person's appearance.
After the servants served tea and snacks, everyone eagerly urged the man to explain his extraordinary knowledge.
After rudely taking a sip of tea, this "secret seeker" began to introduce himself to everyone, saying, "First, we will learn the essential basic knowledge that is indispensable in the extraordinary world, and understand the beliefs and methods of mastering various churches and secret organizations."
"The Church of the Night worships the Goddess of Night and controls the sleepless, the corpse collectors, and other such entities."
"The Church of Storms, worshipping the God of Storms, controls the sailors' path."
"The Church of Steam and Machinery, which worships the God of Steam and Machinery, holds the key to understanding the ways of the knowledgeable and those who seek the secrets."
"The Church of the Eternal Sun, with faith in the Eternal Sun, masters the path of the Sun."
"The Aurora Society, an evil god organization, believes in the true creator and controls the Hanged Man pathway —"
"The secret order worships the enigmatic servant Zarathustra, who controls the path of the diviner."
After saying this, he took another sip of tea because he was thirsty, and continued, "It is said that the Zarathustra worshipped by this organization is very familiar with Emperor Roselle of the Republic of Intis, and he is the one who established Intis's intelligence system."
"Of course, this is just a rumor, and the specific facts cannot be verified."
"The Ironblood Cross, who worship the Red Priests, control the Hunter's Path, and pursue war and chaos."
After hearing about the Hunter's Path, Audrey looked around and, finding no one paying attention, cautiously asked Altair, "Sister Altair, is this the Hunter's Path you live in?"
Altair, who was enjoying the show, nodded without hesitation after hearing Audrey's words and said, "It is indeed the same route."
"The Psychological Alchemy Society was originally a research school composed of a group of people who studied psychology, but later, through some unknown method, it gained control of its audience."
After the "secret seeker" finished his basic introduction, someone asked, "The extraordinary path you mentioned must be what we've been searching for all along, right?"
"Do you have a way for us to obtain the path you described, to become extraordinary like you, without joining these organizations?"
"Unlikely," the spies replied directly.
He added, "As far as I know, the Extraordinary Organization does not care whether a person is a commoner or a nobleman when recruiting members."
"What I mean is that on your path to becoming extraordinary, you are just like ordinary people. Only by joining the corresponding organization and accumulating enough contributions will you have the opportunity to become extraordinary."
As soon as the "Secret Seeker" finished speaking, another noblewoman asked softly, "In that case, sir, could you please explain to us the different ways to acquire abilities?"
"Okay." After saying that, the "Secret Seeker" added, "My knowledge of the various methods is also very limited, and I can only tell you what I know."
Before the words were even finished, the "Secret Seeker" didn't give anyone a chance to interrupt, but directly introduced, "The first one I'd like to introduce to you is the Secret Seeker, because it's also the path I've taken, so I'm very familiar with the abilities of this path."
"Once someone becomes an extraordinary individual on this path, they will gain a basic understanding and mastery of mystical knowledge such as magic, witchcraft, and astrology."
Then it goes: "The Sleepless Path of the Church of the Night. Once you become an extraordinary one on this path, you only need three to four hours of rest each day. The deeper the night—"
No sooner had the "Secret Seeker" finished speaking than someone exclaimed in amazement, "I love this approach! If I had this ability, I wouldn't have to spend so much time resting every day; I could play freely!"
The noblemen around him nodded in agreement after hearing the nobleman's understanding, and they all agreed with his statement.
Upon hearing this, the "peeping to the secret" sighed.
The text then goes on to introduce: the Storm Church sailors, the Mechanic Church philanthropists, and MI9 lawyers and judges.
But these avenues did not surprise most people. Only a very small percentage chose to consult with judges and lawyers.
In stark contrast is the Pharmacist approach of the Church of the Earth Mother.
Upon hearing about the power of this method, everyone's greed intensified, and they all inquired, "Where can we obtain the potion recipe for this method?"
The "Secret Seeker" then explained to everyone, "I only know that the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess has it; I don't know about other channels. Moreover, the abilities of this channel are not only liked by you, but by everyone."
After observing the eagerness and desire of the crowd, Altair couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: "As expected, the nobles' focus will never be on combat strength, but on how to live longer and more comfortably."
After he finished introducing the "assassin" and "hunter" paths, another noble youth said, "If you hadn't introduced the apothecary path to us before, I might have chosen one of these two paths."
"After all, whether it's a hunter or an assassin, just thinking about it is cool."
After hearing this, the "Secret Seeker" explained to everyone, "These two paths aren't just about looking cool; their abilities at each stage are also quite impressive. Hunters, after Sequence Seven, gain the ability to control fire. Assassins, after Sequence Seven, gain the ability to control spiritual fire and frost—"
As the "Secret Seeker" introduced himself, Altair clearly sensed that several young noblemen were interested.
Moreover, she also confirmed the identity of the "peeping to the secrets"—no, she shouldn't be called a peeping to the secrets, she should be called an instigator.
Altair did not create anything based on this person's actions, because she also wanted to see if anyone else chose these two paths.
Or rather, whether anyone chooses to become an extraordinary individual on the assassin's path.
At this moment, Altair's only curiosity was: who had set this trap for him?
