Dawn Knight

With Will's advice, Altar had not left the Sheffield Manor for nearly a week, staying at home the entire time.

During this period, Mr. A had initiated trade invitations as scheduled, but Altar, considering the reason for "Great Serpent, Uroboros" coming to Bexland.

He used the excuse of being busy and unable to trade, having Simon lead the rest of the team to the transaction.

Altar was genuinely afraid of facing this Angel. After all, this was an old Angel who had lived for who knew how many years and was a bit mentally unstable.

The key wasn't the mental instability, but that he had lived through so many eras!

If he really wanted to do something to Altar, no one could guarantee their safety. Even Will only dared to play "hide-and-seek" with him. How could he face him?

When Simon returned from the trade and described what happened during the transaction to Altar, he finally confirmed that "Uroboros" coming to Bexland might indeed have some connection to him.

According to Simon's description, the one he traded with this time was not Mr. A, but a tall and thin person with long silver hair, a delicate face, a slightly indifferent expression, and dressed in a simple linen robe.

After Simon completed the trade, he saw the person give some items to Mr. A before leaving the trading location directly. Mr. A, holding those items, said that if he wanted to buy more "Extraordinary Traits," he could come trade again.

With such a special person involved in the transaction, the quality of the purchased Extraordinary Traits was quite high. Among them:

Sequence Seven "Witch" Extraordinary Trait received three portions, costing 3600 pounds.

Sequence Six "Joyful Witch" Extraordinary Trait, two portions, costing 12000 pounds.

Sequence Six "Potion Professor" Extraordinary Trait, one portion, costing 6800 pounds.

Sequence Six "Dawn Knight" Extraordinary Trait, two portions, costing 10000 pounds.

Sequence Six "The Hypnotist" Extraordinary Trait, one portion, costing 6000 pounds.

Of course, these Extraordinary Traits were only a small part of what he brought out.

More "Extraordinary Traits" were not purchased because Altar had not instructed Simon, and he himself did not know the specific needs.

This made Altar very annoyed. Why hadn't he gone to trade in person back then? If he had gone, perhaps he could have bought more useful things.

But regretting it now was useless. He really couldn't meet "Uroboros" conveniently right now.

Although Will had said that he wouldn't be discovered by him, he had also reminded him, "Try not to go out as much as possible during this period."

He was already a successor of the "Coward Path," so instinctively, he was even less willing to meet him. What a disaster it would be if something was discovered.

The Extraordinary Traits purchased for 38,200 pounds were enough for him to safely advance to "Sequence Six." There was no need to take risks.

It was just a pity that he didn't buy any "Sequence Five" Extraordinary Traits.

It seemed that "Sequence Five" Extraordinary Traits were scarce resources everywhere.

However, the price was also a bit beyond Altar's expectations.

But thinking about it, it was normal. After all, one could get a friendly price when buying from the "Tarot Society." He had no friendship with the Aurora Society, so they had no reason to give him a low price.

When Altar looked up, he found Simon still looking at the "Extraordinary Traits" on the table. Following his gaze, he could see it was the "Dawn Knight" trait.

Altar smiled, directly placing his hand on the box containing the "Dawn Knight" trait, and asked, "You can already advance to Sequence Six Dawn Knight."

When Simon saw Altar's hand on the box, he withdrew his gaze. Hearing Altar's question, he showed a distressed expression and replied, "Yes, Count Altar. I have completely played the role of the 'Weapon Master' potion. Could you please save one portion of the 'Dawn Knight' trait? I will gather the money to buy it as soon as possible."

From Simon's behavior, Altar could feel that he desperately needed this trait. After becoming an Extraordinary, most people's greatest desire was to advance again, just like cultivators yearning to break through realms and become immortals.

But unlike cultivation, advancing in sequences in the mysterious world only required people to digest the potion, find the correct potion recipe and materials, and then configure and consume the potion.

Altar thought for a moment and asked Simon, "Do you have the Dawn Knight potion recipe?"

"This..." This question made Simon fall silent. After seeming to make a decision, he looked up and said, "I obtained a fragmented recipe on the battlefield. It lists some main and auxiliary materials. I want to take a risk and try it. With this complete Extraordinary Trait and a large portion of the auxiliary materials, I think I can withstand the mental shock."

After hearing Simon's words, Altar thought about it and then gave him the box containing the Dawn Knight trait, saying, "Don't advance recently. I will help you find the correct recipe during this time, and then you can advance."

Altar's actions earned him a torrent of tears from the old soldier, who vowed his eternal loyalty to the Sheffield Family.

After sending him away, Altar felt the world finally quiet down. Speaking so loudly at such close range had made his ears ring.

For Simon and him, this could be considered a great blessing.

Although he originally belonged to Altar's father's guard, it was a fact that the old Baron had died due to a failure in protection on the battlefield some time ago.

This was already a grave offense. It would have been normal even if Altar had abandoned them.

Now, he was willing to overlook past mistakes, which had already moved Simon greatly. Moreover, he was now going to provide the recipe and materials to help him advance.

Furthermore, a Sequence Six Dawn Knight recipe from the Warrior pathway would cost at least 2000 pounds with a premium in Bexland.

There were many reasons for the premium, the most significant being that the Warrior pathway was generally controlled by the military of various countries, and it was rarely available for purchase externally.

As for letting Simon and the others purchase it through their old connections, it was impossible. They had already left the army and could no longer purchase through their former channels. Now, in Bexland, they could only buy it at a premium.

Of course, the most important reason was lack of money. After leaving the army, they relied on the salary from serving the Sheffield Family as guards.

Although the Sheffield Family did not mistreat them, providing fair wages, room, and board, with a weekly salary of 10 pounds and benefits on holidays, each person only earned about 650 pounds a year.

The recipe price plus the Extraordinary Trait would cost 7000 pounds, requiring him to work diligently for at least 10 years.

Altar's words, essentially giving him ten years' worth of salary for free, naturally made him express his loyalty.

Of course, for Altar, it wasn't necessary to spend 7000 pounds on him. He only needed an Extraordinary Trait worth 5000 pounds.

As for the recipe, they had a ready one. After all, the Sheffield Family represented the military, and it was normal to have one stored in their own treasury. He could instruct Hahn to copy one and give it to him.

On the day he received the recipe, Simon configured the potion and advanced, meeting Altar again to show his loyalty.

This matter was resolved so simply, and Altar gained the loyalty of a "Sequence Six" without paying any price.
