Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 77 Materials Complete

Altaïr opened his mouth, but found himself unable to argue.

Compared to the plight of those workers, even death is not so terrible. Perhaps, being able to be released early is not a bad thing for these people.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What happened this time that required you to make such a big fuss to come and see me?"

Altaïr threw the Godfrey potion in his hand to Gagran, who took it nonchalantly, licked it twice with interest, and frowned because of the strange taste.

"I came to see how your potion is prepared. The sect's top leaders have ordered that all witch candidates must be promoted before April next year. Witch potions are no different from those for other sequences. The promotion ceremony for Sequence 4 requires a full seven weeks to prepare, which is not enough time."

“Why does it have to end before April?”

Altaïr asked subconsciously.

"It's none of your business."

Gaglan said impatiently, but she felt that her words were not right as soon as she finished speaking, so she changed her words and said, "I mean, this matter is not something you should care about now."

In fact, the more you say this, the more suspicious it becomes...

Many possibilities flashed through Artair's mind, and finally, he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Backlund's social season probably started in April. During the social season, there would be a few socialites every year. However, after establishing relationships with certain powerful men, they strangely no longer appeared, and those gentlemen also became reclusive.

The cult wouldn't want me to seduce men in social circles... Altaïr's mouth twitched visibly.

"I did find the eggs of the Agate Peacock, but there is no news about the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish."

Although he was still a little nervous, Altaïr answered truthfully, after all, promotion was also what he wanted.

"Then I will give you the Black Abyss Demon Fish blood and the ritual requirements now."

Unexpectedly, Gagran immediately started clearing the desktop.

"So anxious?"

Altaïr was a little surprised.

"Yes. The magic that puts people to sleep and the mild flu I just spread are both black magic after all, which is magic for reducing and eliminating. Even if I can take back the disease after the ritual, the impact of the disease I spread on these people during this period of time will not disappear. So I have to finish what I need to do as soon as possible and end the ritual quickly."

Gagran reached into the lace gap on the chest of the exposed black robe and pulled out a ball of black sticky substance. She quickly smeared the sticky substance on the table and drew a simple ritual circle. Then she picked up the slender pipe she carried with her and tapped it lightly on it.

Black flames shot out of the pipe and quickly spread across the entire tabletop. However, neither the printed tablecloth nor the quaint square table caught fire. Only the black slime that was smeared on the table by Geglan was burning rapidly.

"This is one of the witch's abilities. It is a black flame that only burns spiritual materials. After Sequence 5, depending on the spiritual characteristics remaining in the materials you choose, the nature of other abilities, including flames, will also change differently."

Seeing Altaïr's curious expression, Gagran licked the corner of his mouth seductively with his tongue and continued to explain.

As he spoke, the black flame burned up all the mucus, leaving only a narrow-mouthed brass bottle the size of a human head and a piece of yellowed parchment on the table.

"This whole bottle?"

Altaïr was a little confused. In his impression, potions could only be contained in a small 50ml beaker.

"Of course." Gagran asked back with some amusement, "How else are you going to drink seven times?"

"Ritual requirements: prepare a set of metal jewelry, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, cuff nails, and anklets. Wear them before taking the potion for the first time. After taking the potion, channel the excess spirituality into one of the jewelry, and remove it after the spiritual guidance is complete. In addition, the bracelets, earrings, cuff nails, and anklets do not need to be symmetrical."

"In addition, starting from the first time you take the potion, try to let your emotions fluctuate as much as possible. Don't let your emotions be exactly the same when you take the potion twice. There is no strict requirement for the order of removing jewelry, but the ring must be removed last. Every time you remove a piece of jewelry, your body will undergo certain changes. After removing the ring, you will completely become a woman."

"All jewelry worn during the promotion ceremony can be used as consumables for the witch's subsequent substitute abilities. Every time a type of jewelry is removed, the witch will gain a new ability. It is generally believed that these seven types of jewelry correspond to the seven core abilities of a witch at Sequence 7: fire, frost, invisibility, black magic, charm, substitute, and hair control."

"Also, Sequence 7 witches can transform back into men for a short period of time by wearing these jewels again, but this change will increase the risk of permanent loss of control and will not disappear when the jewels are removed again. It can only be used within one month of full promotion."

Altaïr quickly read the parchment and let out a long sigh.

“What a complicated ceremony.”

"But the abilities it brings are worth it," Gegran responded. "You should leave now. I want you to go home tonight and try to get promoted. This afternoon is for you to buy the jewelry you need."

"What about Mike? I mean, I was assigned to protect him."

Altaïr pointed at Mike next to Gagran. Although he was still in a dream, Gagran's own charm seemed to have affected the dream, making the gentleman's expression quite strange.

"Don't worry, I will send him home in the carriage. As for things like manipulating dreams, I have a way to do it if I want to."

Gagran waved his hand, "Do you have anything else to say to him? I will use my power to directly enter his dream."

"Well...then tell him to print out a copy of today's photos for me."

Altaïr nodded. With a Sequence 5 escort, Michael shouldn't be in any trouble... Well, perhaps this Sequence 5 himself was the problem.

"By the way, please help me get two commissions from you." Altaïr picked up the can of Black Abyss Demon Fish's blood, "Help me investigate whether Father Roger Matassoli of the Storm Church in the southern part of the bridge and Old Lynch, the supervisor in this factory, are Beyonders. If so, what is their path, sequence number, and what abilities do they have?"

The witch's promotion ceremony is a supplementary setting, and it does not conflict with the original work's direct drinking of the potion. The protagonist does not know that he can drink it directly because the big guys behind the scenes are playing a big game, and it does not blaspheme the promotion method written on the slate. Before arguing, please think clearly about the scope of your tolerance for fan fiction, and figure out the difference between "not needed" and "cannot have", "never mentioned" and "mentioned can't". If you are not sure, I suggest you just cross it out in a friendly way, so that everyone can save worry.
