"Currently located in: the first sealed box on the left in the fifth row of the tenth shelf."

Usage Record: April 6, 854, Flint deposited; August 14, 945, Flora withdrew; 946

Flora deposited money on May 6th.

Flora Sheffield warns: This love is not the love you think it is; it is merely an extreme carnal desire.

"Grace Sheffield, this magic fan should be destroyed!"

After reading the reviews, Altair couldn't help but think, "The Pain Fan, truly lives up to its name."

"The Sealed Artifact in the family aren't anything good. Those with minor side effects have all been used, leaving behind only those with major side effects."

Altair simply gave up on the Potion Recipe side, since she never lacked Potion recipes.

In this world, aside from Adam who possessed the Blasphemy Slate, there's probably no one with more recipes than her.

"The biggest find of this trip was the Family Treasury Record, and the only two still alive are these two old hags."

--

"But they've all become Demigod, why don't they choose to stay home and let their families grow their wealth?"

After thinking all this through, Altair began to wander around the treasure vault. Like a noble cat, she strolled with light and elegant steps, casually surveying this territory that belonged only to her.

Before long, the treasury repair team signaled to Bishop Electra, "The repairs are complete. We can leave now."

After being signaled, Bishop Electra slowly approached and said to her, "Count Altair, the restoration of your Your Family Treasury is complete."

"Our mission is complete, and we are departing now. In seven days, Archbishop Anthony will be giving a Bible lecture at Saint Samuel Cathedral. We welcome you to attend."

After saying this, Bishop Electra made four clockwise circles on her chest, forming the symbol of a Crimson Moon, and blessed Altair, saying, "May the Goddess protect you."

Upon receiving the blessing, Altair immediately drew a Crimson Moon on his chest as a return gesture.

After Hahn saw everyone off, Vivian, who had been standing to the side, came over, picked up the inventory list, and began to examine it.

As she looked at them, she whispered, "Darling, you have such a vast inventory of Extraordinary Item —all sorts of Sealed Artifact and Beyonder Characteristic through different Pathway."

"Isn't this your home?" Altair asked with a smile.

"Of course," Vivian nodded casually and replied offhand.

After looking at the list of items, Vivian criticized the descriptions and said sweetly, "Darling, I want this. Please give it to me."

Upon hearing this, Altair looked down at what she was pointing to.

Paradise Lost

"Appearance description: A classic square crystal perfume bottle. The bottle is engraved with intricate, layered patterns of roses and thorns; upon closer inspection, these patterns form tiny, intoxicated, or Affliction human faces."

The perfume in the bottle is a strange liquid that constantly changes color, somewhere between pale gold and dark rose red.

"Ability 1: Heartstring Resonance. After the user sprays the 'Paradise Lost ' liquid in an enclosed space, the emitted scent becomes an extreme pheromone amplifier. It can make the user's words, eyes, and posture have an irresistible ' Psychological Suggestion and persuasiveness,' just like directly plucking the other person's heartstrings."

"Ability 2: Desire Greenhouse. After the user sprays the perfume in an enclosed space, they can designate all living beings within that area to unleash the same latent desire, such as: suspicion, lust, greed, or the urge to confide. The duration of the desire depends on the amount of perfume used by the user."

Side effect 1: Desire Mirror. Long-term use of Paradise Lost will slowly mirror and solidify the user's core desires, which will be continuously amplified and sharpened, becoming difficult to conceal and satisfy.

Side effect 2: Lust Addiction; users may become addicted after just one use.

"Source: Obtained on June 1, 1023, by hunting down Desire Apostle."

"Currently located at: Shelf 6, third row, second empty space from the left."

Usage Record: Deposited by Jonas Sheffield on June 7, 1023.

"Jonas Sheffield, note: This Sealed Artifact has been tested. Even a Sequence Six Dawn Knight, using the maximum amount, only managed to use it three times before becoming addicted. Sequence Five ----. Do not touch it if you are not at least Sequence Six level."

After reading the description, Altair said seriously to Vivian, "What do you need this for? With your strength as Sequence Five Demoness of Affliction, you can only use it a maximum of five times."

"Besides the ancestors who recycled it, have you ever used this kind of junk?"

"Oh, darling, please, just give it to me. I promise I'll use it a maximum of three times," Vivian said, holding up three fingers as she promised the serious-looking Altair, pleading with him.

Because of this Sealed Artifact, Vivian persisted in acting cute and charming towards Altair for over half an hour.

But in the end, Altair didn't give her any.

After Altair finished organizing the treasure vault Record, he left with Vivian, leaving Hahn and the others alone to put the treasures into storage.

As night fell, after Altair fell asleep, Vivian quietly got up, slowly left the master bedroom, and went down to the first floor of the villa, entering Butler Hahn's study.

After taking the square crystal bottle from Hahn, Vivian placed it under the lamp, examined it curiously, stood up, and asked, "Are you sure you didn't take the wrong one?"

"I'm sure I didn't take the wrong one." Hahn looked at the person in front of him and replied expressionlessly.

After saying that, he added, "Ancestor, I order you to complete the psychological treatment plan for young master Lucius as soon as possible."

"Make him remember his true gender."

After listening, Vivian nodded and explained, "I admit this was a mistake I anticipated, and I will handle it as soon as possible."

"Altair's bloodlust, what to do? This kind of mentality is difficult to treat."

"I'm wondering if this is the reason for that Rose Ring," the ring says, "That it still harbors side effects we're unaware of."

"You don't need to worry about the bloodlust for now; someone else will handle it," Hahn calmly explained to Vivian.

After it was over, Hahn asked, "The ancestors know that the clan owes you something this time, so they asked me to ask you what kind of compensation you need."

"No need," Vivian said after thinking for a moment.
