The Sweeper

Altair sighed and explained with a wronged tone, "Father Utravsky, I think you should know that my family rose to prominence more than six hundred years ago during the War of Resistance against Japan. Although we have experienced several setbacks along the way, we have fortunately managed to continue our lineage."

"Of course, I'm not saying this to show off. Please let me explain further."

"Because of my bravery in the First Generation battle against 'Sheffield,' my family was later rewarded by the Royal Family of Ruun, also known as the Augustus Family, with Potion Recipe for Hunter Pathway."

"The family has never forgotten its origins and has continued the tradition of taking the Hunter 'Potion, for example:"

My father and grandfather were both excellent Hunter.

"But this tradition will end with me, because I cannot choose the Hunter Pathway."

Altair, fearing that Utrasky was unaware of the drawbacks of the Hunter Pathway, added, "I wonder if you've heard of this Pathway? It has many drawbacks, especially for women."

"For example, this Pathway forces a gender change when the character becomes Sequence Four Iron-Blooded Knight. Also, once you choose this Pathway, you'll be constantly at war—and so on."

Emmett, standing to the side, immediately mocked Altair after hearing his explanation, "No wonder you lack ladylike qualities. You're definitely a good candidate for the Hunter Pathway. How can such a good thing exist in the world? Next time we meet, should I call you 'Tomboy'? Ha~ha~"

ha."

Hearing Emmett's sarcasm, Altair, for the sake of his own plans, suppressed his anger and put on an act of great injustice, continuing to explain, "What I meant was that after understanding the drawbacks of this Pathway, I did not choose to become an Beyonder Hunter Pathway."

"That's a real shame," Emmett sighed.

Altair clenched his fist behind his back and continued to explain, "Although my family has always focused on the Hunter Pathway, we haven't produced many Beyonder through other Pathway."

"However, the family has been around for six hundred years, and it has some collections, such as Potion Recipe from Apothecary, Lawyer, and other Pathway, which family members can choose freely."

"As for me, a year ago, based on my own needs, I chose a Pathway I preferred, for example: I am now an Artificial Vampire."

As he spoke, Altair took out several bottles of medicine from his satchel and handed them to Father Utravsky.

He introduced, "This is a potion I researched and made on my own after becoming Apothecary. You can take a look."

After receiving the medicine, Father Utravsky examined it curiously.

Altair explained, "The red one is a life-saving potion, which allows the user to recover vital signs more quickly. The blue one is a Spirituality stabilizing potion, which allows Beyonder to recover quickly after exhausting their spiritual Spirituality, and also stabilizes their spiritual Spirituality. The green one has a sustenance effect—"

"What I want to say is that after my improvements, these medicines all share a common characteristic: they are cheaper to produce, more effective, and have a wider range of applications, making them affordable for ordinary people."

"Therefore, Father Utravsky, the main purpose of my visit to the Church of Harvest is to attract investment."

"If the Church of the Earth Mother is willing to invest in my Apothecary Pathway and High Sequence Beyonder Characteristic, I am willing to share the formula and assist the Church of the Earth Mother in establishing a pharmaceutical company so that medicines can be affordable for everyone."

"Father Utravsky, imagine if you weren't a priest of the Church of the Earth Mother, but just an ordinary, low-level worker in the East District Bexland, facing daily exposure to lead, mercury, and..."

They work to earn money, exchanging cadmium and other harmful substances, just to make ends meet. When they get sick, they dare not go to the hospital to spend money on treatment, and can only endure the pain, ultimately dying alone.

"But one day, you suddenly discover a church that not only researches medicines but is also willing to sell them at a very low price and treat you."

Will this affect your faith?

"While we must admit it is indeed a business, I believe it does not violate the teachings of Earth Mother Goddess. On the contrary, you are fulfilling the Mother Goddess's teachings."

"Moreover, it can make money, promote doctrines, and attract believers—isn't that a win-win situation?"

After hearing Altair's grand promise, Father Utravsky nodded and said, "If you only need Low Sequence Beyonder Characteristic, I can make that decision, and I can give it to you right now."

"However, I think Beyonder Characteristic below the level of Demigod are not what you need, so my reply to you now is that I can only report this to the Church Temple and let them make a decision."

"Count Altair, would you be willing to wait a little longer? I will later report the medicine and your opportunity to the Temple through special channels and let them give a result."

Altair replied with a broad smile, "Of course, I'd love to hear from you."

"But I won't wait too long."

Father Utravsky said solemnly, "I think the temple will give us a result soon."

"Alright, Father Utravsky, I'll be home, waiting for your good news," Altair nodded.

After saying that, Altair added, "I think I should leave the Church of Harvest now."

Goodbye, Father Utravsky

Father Utravsky nodded slightly to her and replied, "Goodbye, Count Altair."

After seeing that he didn't try to stop him, Altair turned around and prepared to leave the Church of Harvest.

Emmett, on the other hand, followed Altair closely, as if to say, "I'm leaving too."

But before he could take two steps outside, he suddenly changed direction.

He walked over to the area that Father Utravsky hadn't cleaned, picked up a broom, and began to sweep.

He had barely swept the floor a few times when he picked up a rag again and started wiping the candlesticks.

After sensing the movement behind him, Altair turned around curiously to take a look.

After wiping the first candlestick, Emmett's pupils refocused, and she cried out in confusion and anger, "Damn it, what did you do to me? Why can't I control my body?"

Perhaps it was because of this angry outburst that his body became increasingly out of control, and he collapsed directly in front of the Life Emblem, beginning to wipe it with a look of reverence.

Upon seeing this, Altair chuckled twice and replied, "Obviously, you're keeping your promise and doing the cleaning."
