Chapter 12: Promotion to Extraordinary

Half a year later, winter passed and spring came.

Flowers began to bloom, trees sprouted green branches and leaves, and the clear sound of birds singing floated through the mountains and forests.

The name of the Fisher family has spread throughout the town of Nasir, especially the female spellcaster with healing powers, who is known to everyone.

Carl has been silently observing and recording all the experiences of the Fischer family.

Following Lucius's advice, Irene acts as a "healing spellcaster".

The sea merchant John indeed had plans for long-term cooperation. He made connections and allowed Irene to treat illnesses for more than a dozen wealthy, powerful and influential people in Nasir.

The Fischer family gradually accumulated a fortune, but now the Fischer family has more than ten servants, and the expenses of hiring each servant are not small.

Lucius found the old blacksmith Raymond and made him a set of tough full-body armor, a thickened breastplate, and a sharper and neater sword.

Not only did he replace himself with sophisticated equipment, he also trained five strong men among his servants to serve as temporary guards for the Fisher family.

Byrne also bought a whole bookcase of books and indulged in reading every day, constantly absorbing knowledge.

However, the biggest expense of the family is still various things related to supernatural powers. In order to become supernatural beings, they bought new supernatural materials from sea merchants twice, obtaining "Eye Demon Skin" and "Ghost Blue Fish Fins" respectively.

Currently, the Fisher family has a total of about fifteen gold coins remaining in their available funds. Byrne proposed to invest part of the money.

He observed carefully for half a year and speculated that the drug business would become increasingly popular in Nasir soon because purple-red fish were seen around the ocean. According to records in the book, every time they appeared, infectious diseases would spread on the east coast.

Irene and Lucius finally decided to take out five gold coins and give it a try.

Chris, who was originally just turning over in his cradle, can now crawl slowly on the ground. The little white-haired guy has become the mascot of the entire family, and almost everyone likes him.

Three months ago, the Fisher family obtained the "Ghost Blue Fish Fins" through a transaction with a maritime merchant, and the second person to be promoted to a transcendent was Irene.

The long step for her to ascend to godhood is the "Road of Divine Sacrifice".

The path of divine sacrifice and the path of conquest are completely different. Carl has imprinted a completely different supernatural law in the "stars" of the spiritual world.

In "Stars", there is a priestess kneeling on the ground and praying continuously, with tears in her eyes, and her expression seems to be hoping that the gods will come down to show mercy.

From now on, as long as people in the world of Clad master the potion formula, they can step onto this new stairway to godhood.

The first step of the "Road to Divine Sacrifice" is "Servant", and the extraordinary characteristics obtained are "Worship of God" and "Malicious Perception".

People who possess the extraordinary trait of "worshiping gods" can choose a god to worship sincerely, and by chanting his name every day, they can contact the god's will and obtain the god's exclusive blessings.

"Malicious Perception" can sense any person or thing with malicious intent within a five-meter radius, and the perception range can be further expanded as spiritual power increases.

Without a doubt and without any hesitation, Irene chose the Lord of the Lost as the god she would worship.

In addition, Irene's physical fitness has been slightly improved, which is the minimum guarantee given by all the long steps to godhood.

Lucius, who set out on the road of conquest, saw his spiritual power increase by about 30% and his physical fitness increase by 10%.

But Irene's situation was almost the opposite. Her physical fitness increased by 30%, while the spiritual power contained in her soul increased by 100%.

"The Road to Divine Sacrifice" can almost be regarded as the weakest long step to becoming a god in the early stage, but the future is promising, and the powerful force obtained in the later stage is unquestionable.

A month ago, the Fisher family bought the "Eye Demon Skin" sold by a foreign merchant. Byrne was the third person in the Fisher family to embark on the path to transcendence.

"The Path of Knowledge"

Carl also chose the one that best suited Byrne from the thirteen steps to godhood in his mind.

The digestion of sequence power depends on compatibility. The more compatible the personality of the extraordinary person is, the shorter the time allowed for the digestion of sequence power to advance to the next stage.

If Byrne were to follow the path of conquest, he might not be qualified for promotion to the second level for more than ten years.

The extraordinary law that expands the path of knowledge is a wise and elderly man in the "Stars". That figure will even peek beyond the "Stars" with greed and curiosity.

The first step on the road to knowledge is "Recorder", and the extraordinary characteristics obtained are "Deep Memory" and "Sketch".

"Deep memory" means, as the name suggests, that the recorder has a photographic memory, and can remember every detail clearly even if he saw something several years ago.

"Sketch" means that the recorder has acquired extremely accurate depiction ability. Any scene, object, and creature heard or seen can be presented in the form of painting.

Any scene, object or creature depicted by the recorder will become more easily destroyed unless someone destroys the sketch.

Lucius and the Byrne father and son worked together to give it a try. The stone drawn through sketching would become as hard as brown bread in the material world, and ordinary people could break it apart with their bare hands.

There is no doubt that "Sketch" can be a powerful auxiliary type of supernatural ability in battle.

The spiritual power of the "Recorder" is much higher, even close to that of the "Attendant" of the God's sacrifice, and the physical fitness improvement is slightly higher than that of the "Attendant".

The power gained from the first step of the Long Stairs to Godhood is still far from the first level of a traditional transcendent.

Carl judged that they would have to reach the second level before they could be on par with the traditional extraordinary people of the first level in terms of extraordinary power.

He knew in his mind that the Stairway to Godhood had a total of twelve steps, while the traditional extraordinary levels on the Oden Continent only had five levels.

Even if one reaches the fifth level of transcendents, they cannot be compared with the gods.

It is obvious that the upper limit of sequence power in the later stage is higher!

Although the three members of the Fisher family have become extraordinary people, the identities of the two except Irene have not been revealed for the time being.

——

Lucius, wearing a breastplate, came to an alley in the eastern part of Nasir. The young man in a black robe in front of him was a wine dealer. He was smiling and looking around to see if there were any outsiders.

"I've bought wine from you several times in the past six months. It's really delicious and unforgettable. Is it true that you have a channel to smuggle wine?"

Lucius narrowed his eyes and looked at the young wine dealer in front of him, and continued: "If there is still smuggled wine, I am willing to buy a few boxes. The Fisher family is willing to cooperate. Do you really have a stable channel?"

The wine seller smiled and nodded, saying:

"Don't worry, I definitely didn't lie to you. After all, I still have a younger brother to support, and I will never give up any way to make money."

He was as relaxed as if he was talking to a good friend.

"Mr. Lucius, please come with me."

"good!"

Lucius followed the young wine dealer with excitement, and the two of them came to the port outside the town of Nasir and gradually came to the vicinity of a warehouse.

"It's right here." said the young wine seller.

Suddenly Lucius stopped, abruptly pulled out the sharp blade in his hand, and dodged to the side.

A thrown axe missed him and hit the warehouse door.

Soon Lucius saw who the attackers were. They were three jungle natives wearing animal skins and had black stripes on their faces.

"I've brought the person here!"

The young liquor dealer turned and ran, fleeing in panic and leaving the place immediately. It was obvious that he was in collusion with the jungle natives.

"It's you guys, I see. Have you guys who live in the jungle and eat dirt finally noticed?"

Lucius smiled and narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew about the bodies buried near the cabin, and he also understood what happened that night.

The mysterious existence believed by those jungle natives is the so-called Bloody Demon, and they also call themselves the Blood Cult.

He had long known that there would be a possibility of retaliation.

Half a year later, the natives of the jungle finally came to seek revenge on the Fisher family.
