"So, Altair, you can set your sights on Sequence 3 from now on. As for the higher Sequence 2, don't think about it for now."
"That's too unrealistic."
After the three finished their lunch, Altair led the two men to the horse training barn.
Looking at the slender and well-proportioned brown pony before her, with its soft, rounded back and waistline, and without a trace of clumsiness or stiffness, Vivian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can I ride it after it's been tamed?"
"Of course," Altair replied with a smile.
Seeing their reactions, Adela couldn't help but roll her eyes at them and whispered, "Try to keep quiet."
Before training a horse, the first thing to avoid is noise and fright.
"Alter, you go first. Touch her from her neck to her shoulders, back, legs, and stomach."
"Based on my years of experience training animals, I can assure you that the weak points of these horses are definitely their necks and bellies. You can touch them more often later."
"Horses aren't afraid of being touched, as long as they don't make strange noises or take out strange items."
"Once it calms down, we can proceed to the third step: putting a bridle on it and leading it on a leash."
"Step 4: Saddle up and desensitize; Step 5: Put on the reins (teach direction); Step 6: First time riding (this is crucial); Step 7: Formal riding (from slow walk to fast walk to jog)."
""
"That's how you tame a pony; with this whole process, you're sure to get it trained."
After Adela gave him some guidance, Altair finally understood Intisma's training process.
Taking advantage of its unpreparedness, Altair immediately activated his "Beast Taming" ability and began training the proud little brown mare.
Riding on horseback, she was expending her strength. Although the manor was not as vast as the plains, it still had all the necessary environment and terrain.
After several laps of training, Vivian handed her the whip, allowing her to further tame the horse.
Around 5 p.m. in Backlund, Altair finally exhausted himself.
Seeing this, Vivian rushed forward and, disregarding Altair's exhaustion, had it teach her how to ride a horse.
On December 15, 1347, the chill of a deep winter morning was like a thin layer of ice covering everything. As the sky began to peek through the hazy blue-white, fog, cold, and dampness silently spread through the streets and courtyards.

Altair, meanwhile, woke up groggily in his warm bed and reached out to find the place completely empty.
After rubbing his lower back, Altair climbed to the head of the bed on the side wing and started ringing the bell next to him.
Upon hearing the sound, the maids who were already prepared and standing at the door entered, led by Eileen.
Sitting on the bed, Altair, who had nothing to do, asked curiously, "Where's Vivian?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Eileen, who was assisting the maids, respectfully replied, "Miss Adela, you are preparing to leave Backlund today, and Lady Vivian has gone to see you off."
Altair nodded and stopped worrying about it. After washing up, he went downstairs and had breakfast by himself.
After breakfast, Altair went to the underground laboratory to study "Plagues and Viruses". She needed to develop a special plague that spreads quickly, over a wide area, has a short incubation period, causes despair and pain, and can also heal itself.
As for its use? It's very simple. This is the Witch's Pathway, Sequence Four, the advancement ritual of the Witch of Despair: "To engulf more than 30,000 people in a violent plague. The more people die, the more intense the despair and pain, the better the ritual's effect."
.
Altair's original plan was to switch to the Hunter path in Sequence 4 to become a Predator Knight and return to a normal life.
This specially made disease was created specifically for Vivian; when she advances in rank, she can simply use the existing one.
"The common flu" or a milder version of H1N1 does meet the criteria for self-healing, but it cannot cause despair and suffering.
Avian influenza and chimeric smallpox/varicella virus are too deadly.
As he pondered this, Altair murmured to himself, "Does the plague of psychology even count as a plague?"
"Medically, it's considered a type of disease."
Upon hearing this, Altair looked up at the source of the voice and complained, "Why do you always appear out of nowhere?"
After venting her frustration, she pressed further, "Can it really be classified as a plague?"
"Okay." Adam smiled and nodded, as if he hadn't heard the previous complaint.
"Hmm," Altair nodded, and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Adam nodded slightly and said, "Do you still remember that vow you made back then?"
"What oath?" Altair paused for a moment, then asked.
Adam's warm smile remained unchanged, and he explained in a calm and gentle tone, "One year ago, on December 20, 1346..."
.
After indicating the time, Adam played back the voice from that time: "So, the source of disaster, the symbol of destruction and the end of the world, the witch who rules over chaos, I, Altair Sheffield, hereby swear, with the Ring of Chick, that I will spread calamity and incite fear in my female form—"
Altair, his face dark, listened to the entire oath and then asked in an unfriendly tone, "Is this another one of your scripts?"
Adam did not deny it, but instead smiled and said, "Yes."
"I know you have a way to pay a price and evade the oath, but I still hope you will continue down this path."
After hearing Adam's words, Altair suppressed his anger and asked, "You want me to continue with your experiments involving both yin and yang?"
"No, if yin and yang are united, you should be happy to let me switch."
"And you just casually tell me your plan like that, aren't you afraid we'll fall out and I'll cause you trouble?"
"No, something's wrong with me, Adam! What are you trying to do?!"
Adam replied gently, "Anger is not conducive to normal communication between us."
"I swear I don't intend to use you for a yin-yang fusion experiment."
"And is switching back to being male really your current thought?"
"You've adapted to this body and this life."
"Gender is just your obsession."
"Isn't that right?"
After a long silence, Altair looked at Adam and asked, "You want to create another 'Catastrophe' before the end of the world?"
"You should know that this is impossible. As long as I advance to Sequence 0, the Witch Path will be absorbed by me."
"Then newly created natural disasters will lack the yin aspect and cannot be formed."
Adam nodded slightly and said, "Your guess isn't entirely correct."
"We need a natural disaster, not a newly created one."
-
"Whether it's the Witch Path, the Hunter Path, or the City of Source Calamity, I won't stop you if you can obtain them; I might even provide you with some assistance."
The reason I didn't let you jump through the sequence was so that you could delve deeper into the witch cult and investigate the anomaly of Chick.
