Chapter 83 The Blood Recipient (asking for monthly ticket!)
Chris and Archibald returned to Fisher Manor. He did not tell anyone about his return and went to his room alone to take a bath.
The silver-haired boy standing in the barrel has a kind of beauty and elegance like an ancient sculpture.
After washing himself, he dressed silently and went to his sister Irene's room.
At the door, Chris saw Vanessa, who was already fifteen years old, for the first time in a long time.
Today, Vanessa is wearing a white hunting suit. The shirt, trousers and riding boots outline her nice figure. Her light green eyes are like the brightest gems.
She stood at the door with her hands behind her back, smiling calmly and elegantly.
A nearly perfect short-haired girl, the only flaw is that Vanessa still limps when she walks.
However, there are some people in this world who are still graceful and calm even though they are disabled.
Vanessa is this kind of person today.
She looked at Chris, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Master Chris, you are back."
"Please come in, the dean has been waiting for you."
Chris remained silent, feeling as if there was some kind of thick barrier between them.
In the past year, he often stayed in Finn City with Byrne, and now he was finally coming back permanently, so he hardly met Vanessa.
The girl's arrogant and nosy personality seemed to have really disappeared.
In the end, he said nothing, but went into the room to see his sister Irene and took out the report that Archibald had written for him.
After leaving the room, Chris went to the alchemy workshop that the family had built outside the manor two years ago to look for Byrne.
The nearly semi-enclosed alchemy workshop was filled with all kinds of transparent instruments and plants that emitted strange smells. The liquids in the test tubes were constantly emitting bubbles of different colors.
Byrne and his assistant Eric often worked there all night.
Eric is Raymond's grandson. He suffered from mental illness after his father Xiu died. Although he can finally have normal conversations with people now, he still falls into a coma from time to time.
Because Eric had a good memory and learning ability, and was one of the few literate people, Byrne, who was too busy, took him in as an apprentice and assistant.
The new alchemy workshop covers an area of more than 50 square meters, which is several times larger than the original one. Byrne and the thin Eric are busy here.
"You're finally back, Chris. Is Archibald's issue resolved?"
Byrne smiled when he saw Chris coming back.
Chris nodded but didn't answer.
He thought about it, and finally couldn't help asking, "Tonight?"
Byrne was silent for a moment and finally replied, "Yes, tonight."
Tonight is an important day for the Fisher family. They will add three new blood recipients and grant them the power of the sequence.
They are Irene's personal attendant Vanessa, Chris's deputy Archibald, and Byrne's apprentice assistant Eric.
Irene has the ability to "listen to malice", so she can easily pick out those children with good character, and then select capable people from them to train.
Finally, the first batch of finalists in the orphanage were these three.
After several years of training, the three have become extremely loyal to the Fisher family, and they even regard the core members of the family as their own family members.
So, it's time to give them the blood of the Fisher family and the power of God.
But Chris already knew something that had been discussed within the family, and he always felt uneasy.
If they choose not to accept the "Blood of Fisher" and the "Lost Ritual", they will be dealt with immediately, and the family will not be left with huge hidden dangers.
The three people, including Vanessa, have done "overstepping" things for the family, but the person Irene asked Vanessa to kill was a bad guy.
Chris suddenly felt a little scared, even though Vanessa had been extremely loyal to the Fisher family over the years.
What if she had been disguising herself all along, refusing the Lost Ceremony at the last minute, or revealing her disloyalty after receiving the blood?
No matter what, he didn't want Vanessa to be killed by her own family.
It was an unimaginable nightmare.
"Chris, come here."
Byrne suddenly smiled and waved to Chris to come over. The boy was stunned for a moment and then walked over.
With a calm look in his eyes, Byrne slowly stood up, as if he could see through the boy's thoughts. He put his hand on the back of his cousin's head and said calmly from a close distance:
"Don't worry, Irene and I are absolutely sure that Vanessa and the others will not refuse the ceremony, nor will they betray us. At least this is absolutely the case at this point in time."
"Trust our judgement, Chris."
He left Chris's side and patted the boy's shoulder.
Chris remained silent and just nodded calmly.
At this point, he has to watch the whole thing continue to develop.
Finally, night fell.
Vanessa, Archibald, and Eric came to the family's underground secret room for the first time and saw the statues, altars, and sacred objects belonging to the Lost Lord.
Erin asked everyone to kneel down, and then she, Byrne and Chris knelt on the ground.
The three of them had been influenced by Irene over the years and had no attachment to the faith in the righteous gods, but they were still shocked by the great Lord of the Lost!
"I see, so that's how it is..." Vanessa murmured to herself, and said, "The god who saved Fisher was you. I always thought it was really the Lord of Redemption or some powerful extraordinary being."
Archibald looked extremely serious and said, "The Fisher family saved my fate. I would give you my soul as a gift."
Eric stared at the statues and holy objects in amazement, and did not utter a word for a long time.
Suddenly, they all felt an extremely terrifying force from the black light in the holy object. It seemed that it could destroy everything in the world and was a force that no mortal could resist.
The power was so great and suffocating that the three of them couldn't help but tremble all over. They lowered their heads and dared not look directly at the black light in the holy object.
Carl had known of their existence for a long time. He calmly looked at the three people kneeling in front of him and easily saw through the long steps to godhood that best matched each of them.
However, before He could truly bestow the power, they had to do another part of the Lost Ritual. They needed to go to the spirit world and pass through the Gate of Shadows, and then drink a special potion made from Fisher's blood.
Irene calmly spoke of the greatness of the Lost Lord and the teachings of the Dawn.
The three of them agreed to perform the Ritual of Loss, and so they entered the spirit world together with the brothers and sisters of the Fisher family. This time they all came directly to the Gate of Shadows.
"This is the spirit world!"
The three of them were extremely shocked. Although they had heard of the existence of the spiritual world, they only knew that it was an extremely mysterious and strange world.
All secrets related to the spiritual world are of great value. Even the great nobles and the church know very little about it!
After completing the Lost Ritual, they all felt the extremely terrifying aura.
The Lord of the Lost is staring at them!
Irene and Byrne looked at each other and nodded.
The next step is to pray for God's grace, so that they can also step onto the long steps to godhood and master the mysterious power of the sequence.
Irene began to pray for the gift of the Lost Lord again, offering three completely different first-level extraordinary materials that had been prepared long ago.
One is a "phantom flower" with transparent petals that change color with the moonlight, like it is made up of pure light.
There is also the "Dream Wisteria" whose vines are covered with small purple flowers and can make a sound like soft breathing, which can make people fall into a deep sleep.
And the "crystal corals" that sleep in the deep sea, like transparent crystal sculptures.
"Great Lord of the Lost..."
Another sacrifice began, and finally the three people who received the blood successively obtained completely different sequence powers and stepped onto three new long steps to become gods.
Vanessa embarks on the "Path of Order", and the first-order sequence power is "Guardian".
"Guard" has two extraordinary characteristics, namely "protection" and "fatal counterattack".
"Protection" can mark someone in advance through spell symbols, and then the guard can take half of the damage suffered by the other party on himself.
"Fatal Counterattack" means that once attacked, the hit rate of the next attack on the source of damage is greatly improved. Of course, the target must be within the attack range.
Her physical fitness is improved more, while her spiritual strength is improved less, although Vanessa herself is a spellcaster.
Archibald embarked on the "Road to Disaster", and the first-order sequence power was "Wind Guards".
"Storm Guard" has only one extraordinary characteristic: "Storm Armor".
"Storm Armor" can cause strong winds to automatically appear around extraordinary people with sequence power. The more spiritual power is consumed, the greater the range.
Even the "Storm Armor" is enough to form a huge storm when the extraordinary person embarks on a high-level disaster path. It is an extraordinary characteristic that will grow with the person.
Archibald's physical fitness and spiritual strength increased by 50% and 50%.
Eric embarked on the "Road of Forging", and the first-order sequence power was "Craftsman".
"Craftsman" also has two extraordinary characteristics: "Skillful Hands" and "Heavy Attack".
"Skillful Hands" allows extraordinary people to automatically master most of the craftsmanship skills and instantly possess the experience of a craftsman with decades of experience.
"Heavy Hit" means when a superhuman uses a weapon to attack, the damage caused will have an impact effect, and the force can penetrate into the armor.
Eric's physical fitness improved slightly, but his spiritual strength was greatly improved.
Irene stared at the three new transcendents, each of whom looked joyfully confused and dazed.
Vanessa seemed to be able to accept it, but for the other two, it was too amazing to suddenly gain extraordinary powers.
She slowly came to the three of them and said calmly:
"You must remember that this extraordinary power belongs to the great Lord of the Lost and the Fisher family. From now on, you will be a member of the Dawn and a loyal servant of the Lord of the Lost."
"The Fisher family is God's kin and will convey His great oracle on our behalf."
"My Lord is watching you. If you have the heart to betray me, you will surely suffer an unimaginable final outcome and fall into despair and perish."
