Mixed Blessing System



A few minutes after the spectres around the Frost estate were finished...

"What? The spectre in Aiken's body has been eliminated?" Upon hearing this from one of his men, the Duke of the Province rose from his chair. "How?"

"We don't know, patriarch. But Viktoria, Elke, and Annaliese teleported to that area, and by the time we realized them, the spiritual fluctuations of that spectre were gone." One of that man's subordinates explained.

"Annaliese? Wasn't she in a deep sleep?"

"Uh?" That man opened his mouth as he noticed this fact, something he had not bothered to question even himself earlier.

He was so shocked by the sensations he had felt around that property and the sudden appearance of those three on the Frost property that he had forgotten that detail.

'Indeed, Annaliese should not have been with Viktoria and Elke!'

"That... I can't explain. But it is a fact that she was beside those two, patriarch. She must have awakened from her previous state." He said as he regained his composure.

At these words from this subordinate, Chris was silent, with a serious expression on his face. 'Is that why?'

He had already received a report that Gomeric was communicating with associates at the Ritter Motor Company, and something seemed about to happen.

Chris still needed to find out more, but he felt that these strange movements of Gomeric and now this was connected.

"All right, call coroner Klossner. I want to talk to him about it."

...

Meanwhile, at the Morning Star Academy...

Luis had just watched Gomeric leave his office when the news about what Viktoria, Annaliese, and Elke had done reached him.

As the Duke of the Province, he immediately connected one thing to another.

'They probably have something fundamental to reveal to us...' He thought, also considering that Annaliese's awakening was related to this.

"It looks like things in Peters City will change once again," Luis muttered as he looked out the window of his office, seeing the center of the academy, where the ranking of the students was.

At the top of the ranking was the name of Lothur, who had not yet been removed from the academy's list of students.

...

Meanwhile, at the Seraphim Church post in Peters City...

In the local temple of this Church, low-ranking members of this institution were taking care of the local affairs of this organization.

In every city above 200,000 inhabitants on the continent, there was a Church post, where there would usually be some demon hunters to support the local forces when these creatures appeared.

At the same time, the Church had its beliefs and was a religion with hundreds of millions of followers.

Not everyone in this world believed in the existence of something greater. Still, everywhere believers were willing to follow the words left behind by these divine entities.

So, besides demon hunters, there were people in places like this to teach the word, and lead services and ceremonies.

A few dozen people were in this place to keep all this going.

Like every human group, there was a leader taking care of things related to this group.

He had just received the information about the sudden action of Viktoria's group!

"That's strange..." The Priest of this post commented to some of his companions, not understanding how Viktoria had solved such a complex problem so suddenly.

The Church had not been helping the local forces at all, but make no mistake, the people of this post were genuinely concerned and wanted to solve the problem of the local spectres.

Unfortunately, the Church experts in the empire were troubled and could not do much to help them in the short term.

But upon finding out that everything had been resolved, this Priest couldn't help but wonder.

"Where did Viktoria get help to resolve this situation? She even awakened her younger sister." He commented.

One of the men in the room where the Priest was working nodded and said. "We have to keep an eye out. Although they have not shown anything suspicious about Lothur, there is a risk that he is a hybrid.

Any movement of theirs should be watched. Any moment now, he could communicate with them and give away his position."

"Yes, let's put someone on their tail. Since the spectre problem is solved, let's watch them more closely. That way, we can somehow help our leaders in the hunt for these three suspects."

...

While the local powers in Peters City were dealing with the recent news in their own ways, Lothur had gathered with his women again.

After they had separated, they gathered the medicines available on that property and returned to their home in this city.

He moved through the vacuum of space so as not to attract anyone's attention, returning to that place where Mabel was waiting for her treatment.

Upon reviewing his women, Lothur said nothing to them about what he had just discovered with the awareness of the Frost family treasure. He merely handed Viktoria a spatial ring and another list for his women to work through.

"Here are ingredients I need to repair some of the artifacts of the family treasure.

With this, we can have over a dozen Gold-grade and quasi-Gold-grade items in a few days." He said, making the three of them look at that list which contained several relatively precious minerals.

It would not be cheap, nor easy to repair items of that quality!

"Where will we find that?" Elke asked.

Viktoria then said. "If we don't find it at the Blacksmiths Guild and the Formations Masters Association, we'll have to send people out of the province."

Hearing that, Lothur agreed with his wife and said nothing. But he couldn't help thinking about the Formations Masters Association.

Back there, they had welcomed him with several benefits and few demands, counting on his future support. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that now that he was wanted.

'It's a shame, but the benefit I received was more access to information rather than resources... In a way, they didn't lose anything.' He thought about it without regret.

If he could, he would help them. But since he could not, he would leave the matter behind without guilt.

"All right, take care of it. In the meantime, I'll start producing the pills and potions for Mabel that I can make with these ingredients." He said before heading toward a room made for his alchemy training.

Viktoria still had to buy some medicines listed by Lothur, so after his words, she left that place next to Annaliese and Elke with the purpose of going after those things he wanted.
