Chapter 484: Alchemy

~7 min read 1,268 words

The night wind blows.

Time passes bit by bit.

And the cycle continues as before.

Crown Anastasia, having tried every method to no avail to break this cycle, sighs: "It seems... they are not a Descender, otherwise the rejection of the Mortal World would have long since forced them to Ascend again!"

"So, there is only one answer, that Count who is a 'Worldly Immortal'?"

Arch-Patriarch Buzige Hashi seems to have had the answer in his heart all along, merely performing a final confirmation now.

After receiving an affirmative reply, this Arch-Patriarch of the Church of the God of Death makes a move that leaves the 'Evil Spirit' and Bosadeke incredibly astonished... He bows slightly and pays his respects toward the deep darkness: "Lord Green Forest Earl... I am truly sorry for tonight's events!"

"Thank you for your mercy!"

However, the 'Coldest Ice of Midwinter' and the 'Lord of the Underworld' can at least barely be considered allies of the 'Raven', and their current attitude is neutral.

Bosadeke is surprised by another matter: "Lord Green Forest Earl? The kingdom's Green Forest Earl line has long since died out, so... which one from history is this?"

A tornado mixed with ice rises, and Anastasia's figure disappears into the icy tornado, quickly retreating while taking Bosadeke with her.

He indeed had a slight thought of keeping the two Crowns, harvesting their characteristics, and taking the Extraordinary Items on them.

Infinitely vast, incomparably deep, countless isolated islands float densely in the sea, and from time to time, bubbles containing illusory figures and imaginations emerge from the surface...

'The Lady made a mistake? How is that possible? She is known as the 'Coldest Ice of Midwinter'!' Bosadeke widens his eyes.

"They entered the Earl's territory, the Gourmet was invited into the Earl's castle and said to the Earl: 'I can let you taste unimaginable delicacies'... He was a master of his craft, and the Earl soon became obsessed with his Cooking, so the Gourmet took the opportunity to say: 'I have one more most delicious Treasure Pot soup, which requires a Treasure Pot with magical power to cook...', the Earl was unwilling to hand over the Treasure Pot for the sake of delicious food, he overcame his Greed, and chose to refuse..."

However, Aaron is a person who holds a grudge.

Both reasonably and emotionally, he would not let those three guys go.

He knows deeply what kind of personality his own Crown has; she is likely unwilling to endure such humiliation!

Sure enough, he sees the Lady Pontiff of his own church with a face like ice, a spear seemingly crafted from crystal emerging inch by inch in her hand.

This trace of Shadow disappears from the suite and instantly arrives at a deep and illusory sea.

"It's those three Secret organizations that have become smart..."

It has similarities to the Spirit World, yet it is not exactly the same.

"Gone, then."

Inside the luxury suite.

He suddenly feels that everything has become reasonable again.

'Looking at it this way... those two women are also subordinates of the other party? No wonder the attitude of the Church of the God of Wisdom is somewhat ambiguous... not daring to rashly clash with this Earl.'

And just after the Arch-Patriarch of the Church of the God of Death expresses his apology, this street finally changes.

And cold sweat suddenly seeps from Bosadeke's forehead.

'Obviously, this is that Earl indicating that moving forward is a dead end, while retreating offers a path to survival?'

Being in the stage of being persuaded and courted by the 'Raven', one still needs to give face to the higher-up Age-Keeper.

Bosadeke understands at once what that Legendary Count wants to express.

Whoosh!

The front remains a sea of fog, while other paths have appeared behind!

This is the Collective Subconscious Ocean of Plymouth!

"The Gourmet failed, the Blood-Clad Man entered the castle, displayed powerful Wu, and said to the Earl: 'I can give you equally powerful strength, as long as you offer your treasures to the gods!', but the Earl replied: 'I do not need powerful strength, and I will certainly not hand over my treasures', he overcame the Greed in his heart, and the Blood-Clad Man also failed..."

"One day, three greedy thieves set their sights on the lord's wealth... one of them was the Gourmet, another was the Blood-Clad Man, and the third was the leader of the Evil witches..."

"Finally, the leader of the Evil witches spread a plague in the territory, and when the commoners fell ill, she entered the castle and said to the Earl: 'Make your choice, use your treasure to exchange for the Spirit Medicine to cure the disease'! The Earl had no choice but to agree and handed the Treasure Pot to the witch leader... the witch leader succeeded!"

Villains are not all idiots; on the contrary, sometimes they are quite smart!

For example, this time, Flander and his gang must have sensed something and did not choose to show themselves directly, but instead adopted a roundabout way of reporting to disgust him.

"These days... even the leaders of Evil cult organizations know how to report someone."

Buzige Hashi bows again and leaves from the back of the street with the 'Evil Spirit'.

Aaron's figure gradually becomes illusory and distorted, like a cold, dark Shadow.

Even the Pontiff of an Imperial God church must lower her noble head!

Crack!

"The wealthy Earl lived in a beautiful castle; he was handsome and wise, powerful and benevolent. In his hand, he held a treasure, a Treasure Pot that could spit out countless gold and silver... Using this wealth, he allowed the commoners to live a happy and joyful life..."

"This is forcing me to use my ultimate move."

Aaron's mouth curls into a slight smile, and he uses 'Thought Alchemy', speaking in the tone of a reciter:

"This is a story..."

Bosadeke feels that everything has an explanation.

The spear cast from ice seems to have a small error, snapping directly in the middle into two pieces and falling to the ground.

"A complete 'Law'? As expected of an 'Immortal'!"

"Since they have already realized it is a trap, they will inevitably hide... With the protection of an Age-Keeper, unless one obtains a key item that can directly perform divination, it is very difficult to find them!"

Aaron sips some red wine.

Moreover, thanks to the contribution of the 'Son of Dawn', Aaron's accumulation for advancing to the Seventh Primordial Substance is already sufficient, so there is no need to go around harvesting Spirituality.

In front of Aaron Sotos, a 'Worldly Immortal' who is invincible in the Mortal World and also the founder of Occultism.

'The Arch-Patriarch is actually apologizing?' The 'Evil Spirit' stands dazed on the spot.

However, at the next moment, an accident occurs.

Aaron sighs.

In the face of an absolute gap in strength, this arrogant lady can only choose to retreat.

This is the Sixth Primordial Substance of the pure path of "Shadow"—"Spirit World Shadow"!

A "Dream Realm Traveler" can freely enter and exit the Dream, while a "Spirit World Shadow" can infiltrate the Collective Subconscious Ocean and exert influence!

Furthermore, this is also a scheme to help Motula advance.

"What the witch leader did not know was that after she left, the Count smiled and said: 'Compared to wealth, my subjects are my true treasures. Greedy one, we shall meet again one day, and when that time comes, you will return everything you have gained!' All three of you shall repent for this!"
