The rule is: equivalent exchange.
Aaron obtained the obsidian, but in return, he received intelligence.
He told the group that perfumers were active in the Villa Wetlands.
The perfumer who could manipulate corpses wasn't of much value to Aaron.
Moreover, the two had a conflict.
If the group of perfumers who were forming cliques dealt with the corpse-monger for Aaron, it would be like eliminating a potential threat.
If they are brought in, they could become a potential partner for Aaron.
Through this period of action, Aaron increasingly felt that the power buried under the dust of history had long been restless.
The power buried under the dust of history has long been restless.
The arrival of spices acted as a source of ignition, setting off the explosives.
The secrets of spices and the Jade Book are expanding rapidly, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire world.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for so many perfumers to emerge in just two years.
Even more perfumers remain lurking in hidden corners.
But do spices and jade tablets truly only carry power?
Where does the power of spices come from, and why is its power sealed in the Jade Record?
Aaron believed that this was neither accidental nor divinely ordained.
Rather, it is out of the will of someone.
He may be righteous or evil, or perhaps both.
Regardless of what kind of crisis lurks beneath the peaceful surface, Aaron must speed things up.
If you fall behind, you will be attacked. Aaron must accumulate strength.
Although Aaron always worked alone, sometimes cooperation was necessary.
At least for now, this perfumer's organization is valuable to Aaron.
As a perfumer himself, Aaron's most important task right now is naturally to continue creating the next fragrance formula.
The remaining spices have been completely digested, and now the puppet's body will be completely destroyed, and it will not be removed from the Jade Record.
In other words, Aaron has completely mastered this power.
Thinking about it this way, the combination of the Jade Record of Illusion and the Forbidden Library is truly ingenious.
The library can protect the perfumer from being discovered by the outside world, while the power of the doll ensures that Aaron does not need to use his real body to go out.
In this way, Aaron was able to obtain the spice in the safest and most secure way, without any hidden dangers.
Now, Aaron only needs to bring the obsidian back to the library to become the next level perfumer.
However, Aaron had one more thing to do along the way.
At this moment, Aaron had already arrived in Harvest City.
After leaving Kitahara, Aaron charged southeast, heading straight into the heart of the Lorraine Plains.
The battle is raging at this moment, and the route is lined with troops and battlefields.
Aaron put in a lot of thought and effort to avoid getting involved in trouble.
But thankfully, it wasn't all for nothing, and nothing serious happened during that time.
That's why Aaron didn't take too long to get there.
Along the way, Aaron also heard about the war on the plains.
In short, this is the story of the surrounding knights, the battle to divide the plains.
Through decades of hard work and sheer force of will, the Lorraine family had become the wealthiest family in the kingdom, with no one daring to take advantage of them.
It is said that the combined fiscal revenue of the five major territories recently is still less than that of the Plain of Lorraine.
As the Lorraine family's terrifying power waned, the greedy nobles, filled with envy, naturally began to covet this wealthy city.
Nobles from afar, also eager to get a share, joined the battle.
Of course, wars between nobles must be approved by the royal family; otherwise, they are considered rebellions.
The royal family, presumably due to the power struggle, also agreed to and directly participated in this campaign.
At the start of the war, the Allied forces, with their massive numbers, immediately gained the initiative on the battlefield and rapidly advanced the front line dozens of miles into the plains.
However, the situation quickly reversed.
The Lorraine family was incredibly wealthy and trained a large number of elite soldiers year after year.
Moreover, the supply of food and provisions was abundant and of high quality, and they quickly launched a counterattack.
Furthermore, since the allied forces were essentially fighting for their own interests, command was naturally not very smooth, and the cooperation between the various armies was very poor, making them easy to defeat one by one.
Therefore, the Pingyuan Army successively recaptured lost territory.
Even the wealthiest families are not immune to being outnumbered.
Following a bloody power struggle within the coalition forces, the military's voices temporarily converged, and its numerical advantage was once again brought into play.
The Plains Army put up a stubborn resistance for a while, but had to retreat in order to ensure that the various legions would not be isolated from each other.
In short, even though Aaron's trip to the grasslands was not very long, the Lorraine family lost a large number of cities.
Most of them were given up voluntarily by the Lorraine family.
This may be a wise move, but it also foreshadows that the family's current situation is very unfavorable.
However, this has nothing to do with Aaron.
Although he managed to reach the capital of the plains, he had no interest in the safety of this family.
Aaron was only after one person, his former student, Brianna Lorraine.
A man who should have died long ago, yet whose story is still frequently heard by Aaron.
Miss Brianna's connection to Aaron's body has become increasingly weak, and has almost disappeared.
The plains of Lorraine are mired in a quagmire, and this is Aaron's last chance to find out the truth.
Is Miss Brianna still alive?
Aaron was unsure.
If asked whether he wished she were still alive?
The answer is yes, after all, he considered himself to have gotten along fairly well with Miss Brianna.
He witnessed many of Miss Brianna's moments.
She also brought Aaron some concern.
The Lorraine family castle must have been renovated.
Compared to decades ago, its brilliance has not faded in the slightest.
Flags were planted all over the battlements of the Golden Wheat Plain, stiffened by the cold wind.
A ceremonial soldier holding a golden spear stopped Aaron outside the city gate, refusing entry to outsiders.
However, Aaron requested to visit their master in the name of his deceased friend.
This is not a lie; he was indeed an old friend of Brianna Lorraine and had visited the place once.
Brianna was the last person to know for certain that Aaron could live forever, which makes her quite special to him.
Aaron was always used to waiting.
Until the arrival of young Brianna, Aaron couldn't remember how many days and nights he had waited in loneliness.
But at this moment, I was unexpectedly a little anxious.
Haha, reuniting with old friends is always something to look forward to, even something to get excited about.
However, why has the messenger not arrived yet?
Instead, chaos ensued.
Maids, soldiers, and officials were all running around in a panic at the front.
Various items that looked valuable were carelessly abandoned on the ground.
Anxious shouts and urging voices rose and fell.
It seemed as if something major had happened.
Finally, the soldier returned.
However, he was accompanied by a group of sword-wielding warriors.
The man said, "You're under arrest."
Aaron asked, "What crime have I committed?"
"murder!"
"Whom did you murder?"
The moment Aaron heard the answer, he felt a hollowness in his chest.
No, he realized it wasn't a feeling; he had truly and utterly lost something—
A curse left inside him by someone.
"You murdered Duke Brianna Lorraine!"
