Target

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

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

Utrasky glanced at Emmett, then thought for a moment and said, "15,000 Gold Pound will do."

Having just stated the cost, he feared Altair might find it difficult to accept, so he immediately explained the reason, "When Life Alchemy, it requires not only a large amount of living human blood, but also the Spring Water of the Spring of Elves, Star Crystal, and gold."

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

"Creating an ordinary, living body requires at least two thousand Gold Pound; a living person without self-awareness requires even more—as for the body of Beyonder, not only does it require double that amount, but it also needs the approval of the church's higher-ups, and success is not guaranteed."

"Given the significant help you have provided to the church, I can directly decide on behalf of the church leadership to help you create a body. You only need to pay the cost price of 15,000 Gold Pound."

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

Not long after Altair walked out of the Church of Harvest, he heard Sauron Einhorn Medici's voice. He exclaimed, "I never expected you to be so successful, little one. First Adam, now a chosen one of the Earth Mother Goddess, and a member of the Demoness Sect. 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 Dream Infiltration, he 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, scoffing, "Shouldn't you be irritable, angry, and going crazy right now? After all, I customized a female body."

"Ha," Medici said, his tone seemingly sarcastic, "For a Mythical Creature like me, male and female bodies are the same."

"However, I suggest you ask Sauron and Einhorn if they felt any surprise or delight, since it's been a long time since either of them has used a woman's body."

"Fool, we're one team now."

Who are you calling an idiot?!

Anyone who pays attention to that is a fool.

And so, Altair listened as she jumped around, watching Sauron Einhorn Medici and his two companions mock and insult each other, occasionally chiming in to ridicule the others. 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 Realm and turning them into mindless Monster.

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 has already made arrangements 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 told you that Adam, that paranoid, definitely had a script prepared for her."

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

"Of course," Medici explained generously. "Just as Einhorn just said, we are now one, sharing a single brain. Communicating is very simple, you could even say it's instinctive. As soon as a thought arises in our minds, the other two will know 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, while Sauron chuckled and said, "You're quite accurate. Our current state is indeed like a split personality, but it's not something we created ourselves; it's a product of human creation and manipulation."

"The Mother Pathway, Sequence Eight Physician' possesses an ability called 'Soul Stitching,' which I think you should know. 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 Traversal?" Plus, given her acquaintance with Adam, her understanding of souls and consciousness 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 Affliction days are unforgettable for the rest of my life."

After thinking it over, she went to the station ticket office, spent 15 soli 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 directly, "What else would we need ' Hunter ' for? To throw you all onto the battlefield, of course."

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

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

"During this period, all you need to do is provide me with loyalty," the loyalty of the "Hunter" will suffice.

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

Medici, however, wasn't fooled. He chuckled and said, "What personal reasons for not being able to go to the battlefield? I think you're just trying to use us as targets."

Altair, his motives exposed, didn't panic but instead laughed, "If you insist on saying that, you're right. After all, that was indeed my intention."

"But I think you certainly won't refuse, after all, once you have new bodies, you'll definitely need to reinvent yourself and accommodate your Beyonder Characteristic."

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

"How about it?"
