Chapter 248 The fourth seal!
The lightless sea.
Thick black clouds covered the sky, and the days in this sea area seemed like endless nights.
The waves were surging, creating huge black waves that looked particularly terrifying in the lightless waters. In the pitch-black waters, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate the clouds, giving people a sense of endless despair.
On the steamship, everyone in the Fisher family breathed a sigh of relief because they were finally on the journey back to Nasir.
Lillian and Vanessa were communicating. Vanessa was holding a black glass box in her hand, which contained something that constantly emitted a dark aura.
The crew members didn't dare to get close to the black glass box, as they always felt that the things inside had a strong ominous aura.
Lillian reached out and gently placed her hand on the box, and said calmly, "I finally traded it."
"Although we paid a lot of bottled sunlight, which is almost equal to the profits of the entire Fischer family for several years, and in addition, we also paid five rare treasures and many materials unique to the land, but in the end, we made a lot of money."
Vanessa shook her head slightly and said, "I think the other party will also think that she has made a profit. In fact, everyone just gets what they need."
Today, the revenue from trading bottled sunlight accounts for almost half of the Fischer family's annual profits.
It is undoubtedly an act of profiteering.
Vanessa muttered, "The technology of bottled sunshine has gradually become widespread. We can only make huge profits for another ten years at most. We will need to find new profit points in the future."
She suddenly had a suggestion and said:
"Lillian, how about the family forming a company?"
"company?"
Lillian was slightly stunned, then stared at Vanessa, wanting to hear her advice.
In fact, she has some idea about companies, because there are indeed quite a few companies in various parts of Syat. It is said that the so-called companies have existed in Lorne two or three hundred years ago, but they have only become popular among Eastern countries in recent years.
Vanessa nodded slightly and continued:
"Well, the Fisher family's business is getting bigger and bigger. I always feel that the current model can't be maintained for long."
Lillian asked:
"How does a company like you talk about operate?"
Vanessa shook her head slowly and replied, "Well, actually I don't really understand it either. We need to go back and discuss the specifics with everyone. I think Colin should understand these things better."
Colin is the family's royal businessman and knows a lot about business.
Lillian stopped asking and stared at the sea.
The surrounding ocean was filled with a salty, rotten sea breeze, and something seemed to be twisting in the darkness, as if it was the breath from an unknown abyss.
Abandoned shipwrecks floated in the lightless sea. These sunken ships seemed to have experienced a strange event and floated quietly in the darkness. Birds seemed to stay away from this sea area. There was no sign of life around. The crew of the Fisher family could only hear distant echoes and the whistling of the wind.
"Fortunately, we are about to go back."
No one wants to stay in the Lightless Sea for too long. Even staying for one day will make people feel uncomfortable and full of fear.
Finally, they returned to the town of Nasir, and soon Lillian organized a new sacrifice.
"O great Lord of the Lost!"
"I will sacrifice it to you!"
"Please grant the Fisher family more power!"
A withered and pale hand was taken out from the black glass box. Its fingers were still trembling slightly, as if it was still fully alive.
"Hands of Ageing", forbidden item number 1756.
Its effect is to instantly deprive the person touched of a full fifty years of life!
The price of using the "Hands of Aging" is that the user will permanently lose one-third of his physical fitness, so the cost is also very huge.
The Lord of the Lightless Sea who traded the "Hand of Aging" was called the "Demon of the Wind".
She is an elderly woman, and the real reason why she sells it is that the cost of using the "Hand of Ageing" is still too huge. It kills one thousand enemies but loses eight hundred of your own. The practicality of the "Hand of Ageing" that requires contact to take effect is actually not good enough, and it can be regarded as a useless forbidden item.
Obviously, not everyone is like the Fisher family, who can ignore the biggest disadvantage of forbidden objects. Most people have to consider the cost of using forbidden objects.
It is said that some of the forbidden objects in the world with single-digit numbers have been put aside for many years and no one dares to use them.
Because once the forbidden artifact of that level releases its powerful force, the user of that power will suffer a price more terrible than death.
Therefore, the powerful forbidden artifact "Hand of Ageing" became useless in the hands of the "Demon of Wind", and she would rather take it out for a trade.
Carl absorbed the spiritual power and could clearly feel deep in his heart that the fourth seal had become looser over the years.
This forbidden artifact will be the final explosive to completely break the fourth seal!
Lillian and the others watched as the "Hand of Ageing" completely turned into flying sand and quickly disappeared.
He took a deep breath, and something in his mind gradually boiled over. A powerful force burst out, instantly destroying the fourth seal. The spiritual power of the "Hand of Aging" was like the fuse of a dynamite, completely igniting the entire piece of dynamite!
Finally, Carl felt it.
After the fourth seal was broken, more memories flooded in.
“This memory is very precious.”
Carl soon discovered to his surprise that the memory liberated this time contained something extremely important, which was the rituals of all the steps one to five of the Long Stairs to Godhood!
"This will save a lot of trouble. The Fisher family and the followers of the Dawn Cult will no longer have to search for rituals everywhere like headless flies."
At the same time, Carl found that he could hear the prayers of many believers more clearly.
[Save me, great lost lord! ]
[Lord of the Lost, I hope you can grant me strength! 】
[I heard that you are the real god. Can you resurrect my mother...]
There were sporadic sounds throughout the continent, and he could sense them clearly.
Moreover, Carl unexpectedly has a new ability that can consume spiritual power to create a strange black mist.
The black mist concealed a strange power, which Carl didn't understand at first.
But soon, he found that he could release the black mist into the real material world, and use it on people and objects without any harm.
Carl calmly cast the black mist over Lillian, but the girl was very excited, wanting to know what would happen.
"O great Lord of the Lost!"
Lillian took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your gift."
Carl was silent.
In fact, he was not very clear about what this black mist could do.
The next moment, numerous points of light suddenly appeared in Carl's mind. They were the people from all over the continent of Oden who had prayed to him.
I see.
Carl understood the purpose of the black mist, and then gave the oracle to Lillian, asking her to prepare the disguise in advance.
Lian quickly took out an alchemical mask with concealment effect without any doubt or questioning.
Carl has completely understood the use of the black mist and projected his invisible will onto a point of light around the world.
The next moment, Lillian disappeared out of thin air. The rest of the Fisher family members present were stunned, not knowing what was going on.
"Lillian, why did she disappear?"
"have no idea!"
Lillian also looked around in confusion and found that she had actually left Nasir Town and came to a completely different place.
The surroundings seemed to be villages destroyed by war.
The dilapidated houses collapsed in the rubble, thick smoke was still rising, and ashes and scorched earth were left everywhere. The once prosperous streets were now left with only countless broken memories.
"Where is this place?"
She wore a mask and thought for a moment, when she suddenly noticed a trembling half-orc boy with wolf ears kneeling on the ground in the distance. He was surrounded by several soldiers in fear.
Then, something happened that surprised Lillian.
The wolf-eared half-orc boy looked at her and immediately asked:
"I have been praying to Him, sister. Are you sent by the great Lord of Lost to save me?"
So that's it, she suddenly understood everything.
“I am here because of God’s will.”
Lillian walked forward slowly, hugged the orc child sincerely, and stared at the soldiers around her.
"Who are you?"
The soldiers realized that the newcomers were not friendly, and the leader said uncalmly:
"We are Kanian soldiers! He is a cultist! What are you doing!"
Lillian was completely stunned.
She couldn't believe it!
In just a moment, I traveled thousands of miles to the northern country of Carnia?
Without a doubt, this is a miracle!
Lillian was filled with excitement and showed an extremely happy smile. She looked at the soldiers and said proudly, "I will protect this child."
Of course the soldiers refused to retreat. They looked at each other and the leader shouted:
"Okay! It seems that you are also a cultist who believes in that evil god! Capture her and burn her to death!"
Lillian activated her extraordinary power without hesitation!
The sound is like thunder!
A huge noise suddenly broke out, and several soldiers fell unconscious in an instant.
Except for the leader who was an Origin Superhuman, the rest of the soldiers were ordinary people, and she resolved the battle with just one move.
After rescuing the child, Lillian held him in her arms and comforted him in the ruins.
"Don't worry, child. The great Lord of the Lost will protect you."
The half-orc boy with wolf ears stared blankly into Lillian's eyes, as if he wanted to memorize those beautiful eyes forever.
"Sister, where are you from?"
Lillian stroked his head slowly and said with a smile:
"I come from another place, where many people believe in the great lost Lord. We are all brothers and sisters."
"Remember, if you always believe in the great Lord of the Lost, one day you may even be able to gain the same powerful strength as me."
"Well, Alger remembered it."
She stroked the boy's head calmly, memorized his name, and her admiration for the great Lord of Loss grew stronger in her heart.
"I don't know how long I can stay, but no matter what, even if I leave today, we will meet again in the future."
Now that our Lord is able to exert such powerful strength, the Fisher family will be able to travel around the world in the future and establish a great kingdom of faith without territory!
