"Haha, don’t be embarrassed if you’re short on money, just speak up."
Tao Yu’s Gold Pounds came easily, and he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being wealthy. After smiling and waving goodbye to Klein at the doorway, he headed towards his own home.
However, upon entering, Tao Yu paused slightly, seeing Eve waiting for him in his room.
And upon seeing Tao Yu enter and his handsome face, Eve couldn’t help but sigh with a complex expression,
"You’ve still chosen this path, huh? Don’t you have any regrets?"
"I just want to become stronger, and I believe that as my Sequence increases, there will eventually be a way."
Tao Yu said noncommittally.
At the same time, he was still pondering in his mind, since, according to the principle of the immortality of extraordinary characteristics, theoretically, he should be able to obtain Sequence 6 materials from Eve.
However, after glancing at her, Tao Yu thought there should be plenty of witches, so there was no need to focus on her alone.
"Just for this?"
Eve found it somewhat incomprehensible.
"Just for this. I don’t want to be at someone’s mercy again when I encounter an attack next time. If I can’t rely on the organization, then I have to rely on myself."
Tao Yu’s words left Eve silent for a while.
Previously, when the ballroom was attacked, Tao Yu, who had come to find her, was affected, but the organization itself let it pass without consequence, constantly yielding to the Aurora Society.
He didn’t complain outwardly, but perhaps in his heart, there was disappointment with the organization.@@@@
Maybe it was this incident that made him make up his mind.
This made Eve feel a surge of anger.
Once again, resentment towards the organization surfaced in her heart, and then she made up some excuse,
"The organization has a task. Are you interested in knowing more?"
"Aha, it’s not going to involve seducing someone, right?"
Tao Yu laughed at himself mockingly, but seeing Eve’s expression stiffen, it seemed it might actually be the case.
This left him somewhat speechless.
It’s beyond my capabilities, sorry...
"It seems that in the eyes of the organization, we are just goods and consumables to be freely dispatched."
Tao Yu’s sarcastic tone caused Eve to think of something and she fell into silence.
Indeed it was so!
Why did she suddenly become like this? Was it all the organization’s manipulation?
Simply treating her as a tool and expendable?
Then she sighed again,
"If you don’t want to, forget it. But if you do want to advance your Sequence, you’ll eventually need to change your mindset."
"That’s a matter for later. So, can I buy the recipe and materials for Sequence 6 with money?"
Tao Yu’s question made Eve’s expression turn a bit odd,
"You’ve just been promoted."
"Just preparing in advance."
"You better assimilate first; you can find me afterward. I can privately tell you the recipe."
Eve pursed her lips, seemingly reluctant. Then, with a disheartened wave of her hand, she left through the window, leaving behind a voice,
"Since you’ve already left Becland, it would be better to spend more time outside. Maybe come back next year..."
Seeing her departure and hearing her words, Tao Yu also paused for a moment, then frowned.
Was it the incident caused by the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society?
They want me to take refuge?
The implications might be quite significant...
This reminded Tao Yu of the little experience he had summarized from his encounters with witches.
Spreading fear...
"Leave it to the Nightwatcher, then. Let’s see if I can exchange for some materials..."
...
"Leonard? Have you been transferred to Becland?"
There were a few people scattered around who hadn’t gone in yet, including Hugh and Fors.
"The lady didn’t come?"
Tao Yu casually said to the two as he approached,
"This is a fellow countryman of mine. I brought him to get a glimpse of the world."
"Her identity definitely isn’t suitable for showing up often, but last time’s payment has been settled. We each got four hundred pounds."
Hugh said to Tao Yu in a low voice.
This left Klein speechless on the side.
What’s the situation?
Why can you talk about hundreds of pounds of deals so easily and casually?
"A very generous employer."
Tao Yu praised and then followed Hugh to knock on the door and went inside.
This time they were among the earlier arrivals, and not many people were there yet.
However, Hugh had already spotted ’Sheriff Potion Recipe’ written on the blackboard.
Seeing a Sequence 8 potion recipe as soon as he entered, Klein also had some expectations for this extraordinary gathering. After learning the rules, he hesitated for a while but still whispered to Tao Yu,
"I don’t have enough money on me now. If there’s a recipe for my Sequence 7 potion, could you lend me some money first?"
"No problem, just write it down. I have plenty of money."
Tao Yu savored the feeling of being wealthy, which brought a wave of bravado to Klein who also breathed a sigh of relief. After that, Klein found a servant and wrote down on a piece of paper that he was seeking the ’Clown’ subsequent potion recipe.
Indeed, he didn’t even know the name of his Sequence 7 potion yet; he only knew that the previous two were related to the circus. He hoped the next one wasn’t...
Meanwhile, Tao Yu took the opportunity to buy a lot of extraordinary materials, as well as books and notes on extraordinary knowledge.
After becoming a Witch, the use of various rituals, magic, and techniques all seemed very handy.
And since Tao Yu had studied magic in the Fate world, his transition to using Witch skills after partly clearing his negative reputation was perfectly smooth. Combined with his own Enlightenment, he only needed to hurriedly absorb some knowledge and localize it to gain quite a few tricks.

Making amulets at the Mystical Club was just a minor demonstration of his abilities.
These materials, once bought, could also be used to try making amulets for practice.
While Klein nervously considered borrowing money for a single recipe, watching Tao Yu’s massive purchasing spree left him feeling a bit lost.
Why is there such a big difference between transmigrators?
Did you print your own Gold Pounds? It’s too stimulating.
Even with money, isn’t that a bit extravagant?
Are all these materials useful to you?
However, until the end, nobody paid any attention to Klein’s request, and Fors didn’t gain anything either.
Only Hugh, after receiving the ’Nightwatcher’s’ potion, put forward another request, asking for someone to ’exorcise evil’.
"What’s up? Possessed by something? Why didn’t you come to me?"
Tao Yu said with a laugh to the still short figure even after being propped up.
He also seemed a bit eager to try as he had just learned a ’folk’ cleansing ritual at the Mystical Club today and was keen to test it out.
What a perfect test subject...
This made Hugh appear somewhat embarrassed, mumbling without speaking, seemingly too shy to explain the reason.
It was Fors who spoke up in complaint,
"This girl, while reading, accidentally recited the revered name of a mysterious being and was worried about being noticed, so she wanted an exorcism. I was almost driven to tears by her foolishness."
Fors’s words caused both Klein and Tao Yu to pause.
Tao Yu himself had recited the name of The Fool, and Klein thought about someone who seemed to have recited it before.
Could it possibly be one of the two that Miss Justice wanted to investigate?
Could it be these two?
Linking that to Tao Yu’s apparent acquaintance with Justice and the lavish spending, could it be that the lady they had mentioned before was Miss Justice herself?
Was Tao Yu’s money coming from Miss Justice?
Tao Yu’s thoughts were nearly the same. Had this guy prayed to Mr. Fool?
If it was Mr. Fool, then actually, there wouldn’t be much to worry about...
