Chapter 161:159: Sacred Artifact: Proverbs Ring (1200 monthly tickets plus additional content last month)
19 Lombard Street, 2nd floor.
When Roy came back, Oliveira had just finished his meal and had taken a shower. The water stains on his body were still wet, and he still exuded a sense of weakness.
Chloe glanced at his temples and saw that his hair was completely gray and no longer had its former luster.
Looking at Oliveira's face again, he is still the same person, but at a glance, you can feel that he has aged at least ten years.
He no longer had the temperament of a tough warrior, but instead had a more decadent air.
"Teacher Oliveira, what are you doing?"
"I used a secret method to forcefully activate my fighting spirit, which damaged my essence. However, being able to see you alive is already a blessing."
"Is there any way to recover? I'm talking about some top-grade potions or powerful divine arts. Don't worry, we have plenty of money!"
Oliveira slowly shook his head and said, “It’s not important anymore, so don’t bother with me.
Fortunately, this time when I returned to the Flower Territory, I finally completed the second refinement of my fighting spirit. Once I have fully accumulated my fighting spirit, breaking through to the fourth level should not be a problem.
but……"
"But what?"
"I'm afraid I can't refine Dou Qi three times. This is the result of losing the essence. There is always a price to pay."
"What about breaking through to the fifth level and becoming a legend?"
Oliveira's cold face showed helplessness: "You said that, as if I can definitely break through to the legendary level if my origin is not damaged.
That’s legendary!!!”
"In my eyes, for the teacher to break through the legendary level is as easy as taking something out of a bag."
"You still have a chance, but as for me, forget it!"
Oliveira's face turned serious as he said this. "Loy, please wait a moment."
Roy was stunned by Oliveira's serious expression, and saw Oliveira striding into the bathroom, and then there was a sound of vomiting.
Then came the sounds of metal colliding, cleaning, and wiping...
Just when Roy was confused, Oliveira came back with a striking ring in his hand.
This ring is obviously made of some rare metal, and its surface emits a unique colorful halo. The ring is decorated with many tiny magic gems.
They may not look big, but each one is finely carved and dazzling.
The ring face is a pattern of a lion roaring to the sky, and the carving is lifelike.
Oliveira handed the ring over with both hands, and Roy took it almost instinctively.
He glanced at Oliveira, then carefully examined the ring and discovered a line of small, recessed words on the inner ring.
Luo Yi narrowed his eyes, turning them into eagle eyes, and could see the words clearly.
It was an extremely ancient language, but Luo Yi knew what it meant.
The lion family is brave, fearless, determined, heroic and invincible!
This is the motto of the Raymond family.
This ring is actually the Raymond family's emblem and token, the motto ring!
Nobles, how do you prove your noble status?
The nobles of the Old World recognize this family emblem, the Motto Ring!
Often, when nobles issued formal orders or official letters, they would stamp them with this motto ring, which also represented the family's recognition.
It can be said that this is also the most important item of the Raymond family, like a crown representing power.
At this time, Oliveira sent him to Loy!
At this moment, Luo Yi was a little confused, because his identity as an illegitimate child was the biggest difficulty in inheriting the title of earl.
However, with the Ring of Proverbs, it seems that nothing is a problem anymore.
Looking up again, Luo Yi looked at Oliveira and asked, "Teacher, this, this, this..."
"The Earl asked me to keep this. If the need arises, I'll give it to you."
"Leave it to me? Why leave it to me?"
"I have no idea!"
Oliveira slowly shook his head and continued, “However, if you hold this ring, you will be eligible to inherit the earldom and the family territory, you will be eligible to open the family secret vault, and you will be eligible to use the treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years in the Raymond family.
I think Lord Raymond wants you to take control of this."
Luo Yi couldn't help but ask, "So, Earl Raymond actually felt the danger?
Do you know who attacked the Raymond family?"
Oliveira frowned slightly and shook his head slowly: "Loy, I don't know more than you."
He paused slightly before saying, "After I was urgently summoned back, I thought the family had some important task to entrust to me.
However, the Earl only met with me once, asked me a lot of questions about you, and then let me go."
"It just so happened that during that period, my Dou Qi had accumulated to its full potential and could be refined a second time. I kept adjusting my state and trying to break through."
"That's right. I didn't communicate much with the people in the castle. After I broke through and my strength improved, the Earl gave me this ring."
"Then, he arranged for me to live in a manor outside the castle, ostensibly to train soldiers.
Until that day, that day, a turbulent magical force swept across the entire Flower Territory, holes were pierced through the clouds in the sky, and countless meteorites wrapped in flames fell directly down.
"I'm sure it must be some kind of forbidden magic above the ninth level, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth."
“I originally wanted to rush to the castle, but the magic scroll I was carrying was triggered, and it was a message from the Earl.
He told me to run and bring you the crest ring."
“This was the last order I received. I even activated a fixed teleportation scroll, but those people were extremely well prepared.
I thought I had gotten quite far, but I was still spotted, and then that fourth-rank oath-sworn knight caught up with me."
Luo Yi listened carefully, wanting to analyze some useful information from it, but after pausing for a long time, he could only shake his head.
Finally, he had no choice but to ask, "Teacher Oliveira, didn't the Earl say anything? Not a single word?"
Oliveira seemed to have thought of something. He said, "When the Earl gave me the family crest ring, he told me to pass on something."
"What?"
"Don't try magic machinery lightly!"
"Don't try magic machinery lightly? Don't try magic machinery! Magic machinery...
Is it related to the magic machinery again?!"
"So, is it true, as Grand Duchess Aphra said, that the magical machinery touched the nerves of certain people, making the Raymond family the target of public criticism?"
As Luo Yi muttered this, countless ideas flashed in his mind: "So, who is it that can't stand the promotion of magic energy machinery?"
"Or who on the Old Continent has the power to wipe out the Millennium Earl family and is also extremely hostile to magical machinery?"
At this moment, Luo Yi felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but he always felt that something was missing!
But, what is missing?
In the study,
Luo Yi began to pace, the family emblem ring in his hand turned unconsciously, and then it was put on his finger.
This ring is extremely exquisite and luxurious, and also very large. Luo Yi's fingers are slender, so if she really wants to put it on, her thumb is actually enough.
However, when Luo Yi unconsciously put it on his right ring finger, it looked very thick.
But just when he lost consciousness, he felt a pain in his finger.
He looked down and saw an extremely thin needle sticking out from the inside of the ring, which directly cut Luo Yi's finger.
Blood flowed out, staining the thin needle, and finally, staining all the mottos in the ring.
At this moment, a faint red light appeared on the proverb, like a lava pattern flowing on a colorful ring, making it extremely conspicuous.
Could this be a blood oath?
This idea popped up instinctively in Luo Yi's mind, and he felt that this was a routine only found in fantasy novels.
This kind of thing shouldn't be popular here, right?
However, when a string of information flowed into Luo Yi's mind, he knew that routines can actually be used anywhere!
Although this ring is not a legendary artifact, it is also a holy artifact.
The material used to make it is extremely special, it is the legendary rare material, seven-degree metal.
Don’t be fooled by its small size. In fact, there are at least seven layers of space inside, which can be used to add various powerful magic.
One of the functions of this proverb ring is to acknowledge the master by dripping blood, but not just anyone's blood will do.
Only the direct bloodline passed down from generation to generation by the Raymond family can be recognized by this holy artifact and be qualified to wear it.
In other words, if one day the main line of the Raymond family is cut off, then this holy weapon will be completely useless.
One of the functions of wearing this holy artifact is to detect whether one has family bloodline.
At this moment, Luo Yi felt that his vision was a little distorted, and everything around him seemed to become vague and deformed, but in an extremely distant direction, the outline of a human figure could be seen.
It's very vague, but I can really feel it!
Luo Yi almost instinctively knew that those were the collateral descendants of the Raymond family, and were qualified to compete with him for the title of earl.
In a trance, Luo Yi came out of that state. He looked down again and found that the Proverbs Ring had shrunk a circle.
Now, it fits perfectly on my wrist!
"Luo Yi, does this mean that the family motto ring recognizes you?!"
"right!"
When Luo Yi said this, he was a little careless, but the next second, he was startled by Oliveira's action:
Oliveira was seen kneeling on one knee with his head slightly lowered and a pious look on his face.
“Oliveira meets the head of the family!”
More updates, more updates are coming!
