A Witch Dies of Love
Listening to Hahn's explanation, Altair casually flipped through his notebook. The first section was Record of Beyonder Characteristic: "In 676, Morse gained the following extraordinary traits in the Battle of ----: Priest of Light, Solar High Priest, Mystic Tutor, Polymath, Faceless, Alchemist, Astronomer, Artisan, Iron-Blooded Knight, Reaper, Demoness of Affliction, Demoness of Pleasure, Rose Bishop, ---- Beyonder Characteristic., which have been stored in the Family Treasury. In 678, the traits of Priest of Light, Alchemist, Astronomer, etc., have been traded out."
"In 677, Morse acquired and stored the Beyonder Characteristic in his treasury, and sold them all."
"In 679, Morse acquired the Sequence Four ' Imperative Mage ' Beyonder Characteristic, which he has retained ever since."
"In 680, Laide Sheffield retrieved the Sequence Four Iron-Blooded Knight's Beyonder Characteristic and successfully advanced. In 853, Laide Sheffield passed away, and the Trait was retrieved."
"In 689, Morse acquired two Guardian traits and one Demon Hunter trait during the War against the Forsak Empire —these have been stored in the Family Treasury."
"In 712, Laide Sheffield received one Guardian Trait from the treasury and bestowed it upon the Guard Captain. In 771, [he/shef] died in battle, and the Trait was retrieved."
In 732, Laide Sheffield acquired a Guardian trait and deposited it into the Family Treasury.
"----A reward will be given to the Guard Team ---- to retrieve it."
In 743, Morse acquired one "Traveler" trait, which was traded and released in 756.
In 794, Ancestor Morse was besieged in [location missing]. Upon returning, he was severely wounded and beyond medical help, dying in 796.
Upon his death in [year], the Augustus Family retrieved the Sequence Three War Bishop trait, leaving behind one each of the Sequence Four Iron-Blooded Knight, Sequence Five Reaper, and [other] traits.
When Altair saw his ancestor's Beyonder Characteristic being revoked, he murmured silently, "Could it be that my ancestor's Sequence Three trait wasn't his own, but rather a gift from the Augustus Family?"
"In 798, Simon Sheffield acquired the Iron-Blooded Knight trait left behind by the progenitor Morse, successfully advancing to the next level. He died unexpectedly in 912, and the trait was reclaimed."
After reading this page of Record, Altair concluded that it shouldn't be called "Record of Beyonder Characteristic" but rather "Death Note." Beyonder Characteristic gained from various battles comprised four-fifths of the entire book. Traits obtained through normal trades were extremely rare.
The family head followed the Hunter Pathway and had a total of five Sequence Four Record, one of which was lost 200 years ago, and another was recently lost by his own father.
Two ancestors are still alive, and their characteristics cannot be taken back.
Moreover, Altair had no idea where they were hiding, since her father had never mentioned that there were any living ancestors in their family.
However, we could ask Uncle Leif for the location, and then write a letter to invite those two old men back.
These two are five hundred years old and three hundred years old respectively, which is still considered young among Demigod. Now is the age for them to strive.
Therefore, the Family Treasury currently possesses only one copy of the Sequence Four Iron-Blooded Knight " characteristic.
The family's only Sequence Three War Bishop trait was revoked by the Royal Family, and there are no Record of other Sequence Three traits obtained through other Pathway.
There are some Beyonder Characteristic from other Sequence Four Pathway, but there must be a reason why they have been preserved for so long. Among the Beyonder Characteristic of the Demon Hunter 2 copies), Black Knight 2 copies), Marionette 2 copies), Demon (3 copies), Fallen Count 1 copy), and Imperative Mage 1 copy), only the traits of Giant, Black Emperor, and Justiciar are valuable. As for the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hanged Man, Altair dares not use it recklessly, after all, ordinary people don't have her kind of cheat.
The remaining Demon and Marionette —their traits—may just gather dust in the treasure vault.
The remaining Sequence Five and six characteristics are numerous, totaling 143 copies.
All 22 Pathway share some characteristics, but Sequence Six accounts for four-sixths, which is 96 Sequence Six and 47 sequences of Sequence Five.
"It's not of much value to us," Altair muttered silently.
After flipping through a few pages, Altair saw the Record of the Sealed Artifact's preservation.
