Chapter 4 The First Seal
"Very good!"
"Chris, he's not having a fever anymore, he's really going to survive!"
Irene couldn't help but smile with joy, and deep in her heart she felt a strong reverence and gratitude towards the Lord of Loss!
That is a great miracle!
The Lord of the Lost is truly an extremely powerful and benevolent deity!
So, what does He want to take away from me?
Irene had never seen such one-sided, unrequited dedication before, and she knelt in front of the transparent bottle like a shivering harmless little animal.
"Great Lord of the Lost! I praise you! It was your power that saved my brother. I can never repay you!"
She said to the flickering black light inside with a trembling voice:
"If you want anything in return, my life, soul, or anything else, I can give it all to you."
"I just hope you will show mercy and come back to collect what I owe you when my brother grows up."
The various "temptations" in myths and legends often come with a price. For the sake of her only family, she has prepared for the worst.
Carl was really confused about the girl's fearful attitude, he just felt that she was too vigilant and cautious.
He decided to be straightforward and state "Party Client's needs" openly.
The will clearly conveys the message that the girl only needs to find a mysterious object as a sacrifice to satisfy Him.
Mysterious object?
Irene's hands trembled slightly. She once accidentally heard the mayor talk about what the "mysterious object" was. It was a treasure that only extraordinary people who possessed powerful strength could possess.
To ordinary people in the town, mysterious objects are simply things from legends that they have never seen before!
I am just an ordinary girl from a seaside port town, how could I possibly find something like that? But if the Lord of Loss is not satisfied... what will happen then?
She simply couldn't bear to think about how destructive the terrible consequences would be! The Lord of the Lost was definitely a powerful and terrifying god, and His great power might raze the entire town to the ground!
What should I do?
"Yes, yes, I understand. I will do my best to find the mysterious object for you!"
Irene suddenly saw the black cross light flashing in the bottle again.
It was as if she had entered the black and white world again. All sounds disappeared, as if she was in a suffocating painting. The girl seemed to be witnessing the destruction of things around her. She felt that she could not look away and almost fainted!
With great difficulty she lowered her head in fear.
Carl also felt something was wrong.
Why is the girl in front of me so afraid of myself? Do I look scary?
Carl fell into deep thought, could it be that the bottle possessed by a soul is really scary?
He zoomed out and took a look at the transparent bottle. There was nothing unusual. He was probably just that the girl was too timid. There was nothing he could do.
Carl continued to stare at the baby's physical condition and found that he was completely healthy and was sleeping soundly.
The extraordinary power to "heal diseases and injuries" did not originally belong to him, but came from the mysterious bottle whose spirituality was completely devoured by him.
"It seems that the mysterious and strange objects that have their spiritual power devoured will indeed become a part of one's own soul power."
Carl clearly felt that the power of the purple finger amulet was very small, and it was a protective effect, which had been transformed into a cross symbol with purple light.
In addition, there is an even more important piece of good news. After absorbing the two mysterious objects, he felt that the first seal deep in his soul was becoming looser and could be completely broken at any time.
After a while, Irene discovered that the Lost Lord no longer communicated his thoughts.
"Have you left?"
She gradually relaxed, used the wooden boards at home to seal the door that was blown open, gradually calmed down and sat back on the wooden bed, feeling that everything that happened tonight was incredibly amazing.
Irene hummed the tune of a nursery rhyme and accompanied her sleeping brother for several hours, until the night rain gradually subsided and the girl lay down exhausted and curled up to fall asleep.
Carl silently sensed the mysterious connection between the two parties, and now he could vaguely sense Irene's location and emotions.
As long as they are within a five-kilometer range, even if the girl is in danger, Karl’s consciousness can rush to the scene in the first time.
“It’s a very wonderful beginning.”
Carl, who was in the bottle, listened quietly to the sound of rain outside and thought about the power he currently possessed.
The black light gradually dissipates from the bottle, and everything nearby loses its original color and turns into black and white without any sound or emotion.
He realized that this black light seemed to be the source of his own power.
Carl discovered that the true power of the soul is very strong.
The first is that it can devour the spirituality in mysterious objects and the souls of followers, and transform it into a permanent power in its own soul, restoring the lower limit of soul power while raising the upper limit.
The second is the manifestation of "temporary power". He can naturally transform the sacrificed life into a "deadly curse" and give it to individuals within his field of vision.
"I don't know if different offerings other than 'lifespan' will have the same effect."
He has realized the importance of that girl.
She is his own dependent, that is, a "chess piece", just like the first character drawn in the mobile game.
You cannot move freely while in the bottle, and taking action yourself will consume a huge amount of spiritual energy. Therefore, it becomes important to be good at using convenient "chess pieces" to influence the world.
Carl thought that it would be best to train Irene and even all the family members of the Fisher bloodline into powerful extraordinary people.
He could vaguely sense that there were two other members with Fisher family blood in the surrounding area.
However, the distance was over five kilometers, so Carl could not communicate directly with their consciousness.
But those two family members, inspired by their bloodline and destiny, will come here to see him sooner or later.
It was clear what to do next.
On the one hand, he needs loyal "chess pieces" to collect mysterious objects to provide himself with more spirituality and runes.
On the other hand, the spirituality of relatives will return to oneself after death, so as long as one can cultivate spiritually strong relatives.
When their souls return after death, they will be able to provide themselves with sufficient nourishing "spirituality".
"It seems that my family and I are basically in a relationship of shared success and failure."
Suddenly, with the complete absorption of the purple amulet, the first heavy seal deep in the soul was finally broken!
Carl was ecstatic. He felt a large amount of fragmented memories emerging, and he soon learned a lot about the "Krad" world where he lived.
It turns out that this is the town of Nasir on the east coast of the continent of Oden.
There are numerous countries on the continent of Oden, and the ruling class is made up of powerful nobles who control extraordinary powers. The town of Nasir is under the rule of Baron Hoven's family.
There is no doubt that extraordinary power is the absolute symbol of status!
About 90% of the resources and channels for cultivating extraordinary powers are in the hands of the nobles and the Orthodox Church.
There are two main types of extraordinary people in the world, those who either delve into using spiritual power to drive more magic power, or those who strengthen the blood power that exists in their flesh and blood.
However, no matter what kind of extraordinary person they are, the essence of their soul has not been sublimated, so that even if they reach the point of death, they are still pure mortals, and the spirituality of their souls will not be much different from that of ordinary people.
"ah?"
Wait, that's bad!
Carl soon realized that something was wrong!
He also has a complete power system belonging to the "Sequence of Ascension to God" in his mind. Mortals can step onto the long steps of ascension to God through magic potions and rituals, gradually sublimating the essence of the soul and strengthening their own spirituality.
However, the sequence of ascension to godhood does not exist in the world before our eyes!
Even if people take the corresponding potion and complete the ritual, it is impossible for them to master the power of the sequence!
"Because those extraordinary laws related to the spiritual sequence do not exist at all, the far-leading power system is of no use..."
Carl felt extremely helpless deep down.
Moreover, both bloodline and spellcasting talent are gifts from gods that are innate. Mortals without bloodline and talent will never be able to become extraordinary!
At least that's the theory.
To take a step back, even if he could really train the members of the Fisher family to master magic or blood power and become powerful spellcasters or knights, they would not be able to give him much spirituality after their death.
Delving into the power system of soul strength is completely a blind spot in the current world of Crad!
“…”
After a long silence, Carl finally came up with the only solution that was not a solution.
The memories restored after the first seal was lifted contained a lot of incomplete information about the "Sequence of Ascension to the Gods".
Although the relevant information in the memory is incomplete or even fragmented, as long as he continues to break through the seal, he will be able to reversely deduce the complete sequence of ascension to godhood.
Moreover, his memory also contains the method of traveling to the spiritual world through dreams. In theory, he can reproduce all the spiritual laws of the Ascension Sequence, and finally enable people in the world to have the opportunity to master the power of the sequence.
"Build the steps to godhood and create a completely different new generation of extraordinary people!"
