Chapter 57 Second Child
"What exactly is He? Is He some extremely powerful god, or a higher being?"
The director of the Sapphire Library is on a spiritual island in the third circle of the spiritual world.
Stars appeared on the old man's blue robe. He put his hands behind his back and flew in the air, weaving among the crowd of people. The feather pen and black book floating beside him silently recorded everything that happened.
For several years, he has been in the spiritual world, constantly exploring and experimenting, and even several spiritual incarnations have "died" for this.
Each circle is like a huge maze. Only by finding and passing through the spiritual doors in the corresponding order can the consciousness enter the next circle.
The curator tried to draw a map, but found that the spiritual islands and spiritual doors often changed with almost no pattern, or they have not been discovered yet.
During his journey in the spirit world, he would occasionally gain something, obtain some strange knowledge and items, and become more and more aware of how terrifying the existence of the spirit world is. This would undoubtedly bring unimaginable changes to the continent of Oden and even the world of Krad.
The curator often sees a black cross of light appearing in the sky. The aura that seems to lead the world to the end always makes people shudder, and they even feel that the entire spiritual world may collapse in an instant.
"Fortunately, although He often hangs high in the sky, He never really does anything."
Over time, the curator began to regard that thing as something like the "sun" or "moon" in the spiritual world and completely ignored it.
He knew that in the past ten years, many ancient secret sects, ancient libraries, mysterious academies, churches, extraordinary nobles, and even untouchable beings whose "true names" were hidden in history, had been trying and exploring the spiritual world, and many people had paid a huge price for it.
But people are still extremely greedy, and because of the unprecedented temptation of power, they still find it difficult to give up the opportunity to enter the spiritual world.
The curator calmly stretched out his right hand. On the back of his old hand was crawling a blue creature that looked like a miniature baby. Its miniature facial features were quite creepy. It was a mysterious existence unique to the spirit world and also the most important gain of the old man in his ten years of wandering in the spirit world.
"It's really interesting that this little thing can devour and store the souls of the dead. In addition to imprisoning the souls of enemies, it can obviously be developed for many other uses."
——
Nasir Town.
Although the Fisher family has not existed for a long time, it has become the "non-aristocratic nobles" and "the most prestigious family in Nasir" in the town of Nasir.
Even the newly sent mayor of the Hoven family was quite friendly with the Fischer family, and the two sides were in a nearly harmonious and balanced relationship.
Irene hired some skilled people to teach the children in the orphanage collectively.
Nowadays, the apprenticeship system is still popular, and group teaching is not popular in rural areas. However, under the encouragement of money, the teachers have no objection.
Byrne often observed the children's learning process, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
He knew that there was an academy in the city of Finn that taught noble students all kinds of knowledge, but many people in the towns didn't even know the concept of an academy.
If I could open an academy in Fein City in the future and teach more people knowledge, it would be a great thing just thinking about it.
Furthermore, if the orphans want to learn further knowledge, they cannot simply rely on the townspeople.
Not only for his family, he really wants more people to learn knowledge and be curious about the world.
However, the dream of opening a college in Nasir is too big, and Byrne can only think about it at present. Neither the financial resources nor other resources allow it.
Recently, Byrne no longer goes to the workshop all the time, but spends more time with Darren and Margaret to prevent them from becoming more and more "distant" from him.
Darren was a completely happy little fat boy who ran around and looked for food all day long. He was the most heartless and beloved child in the whole family. Byrne even doubted whether he could support the Fisher family when he grew up.
During this period of time, he has been studying how to advance to the third level of sequence power.
According to the hint given by the Lost Lord, one must complete a ritual that conforms to the characteristics of "mystery" and "knowledge" in order to be promoted to the third level, but it is completely unknown how to do it specifically.
Later generations can continue to move forward according to the trajectory set by the former, but Byrne, as a pioneer, must overcome extremely huge difficulties.
"Not everything can be done. To complete the ritual, you must fully mobilize the spiritual energy in your body until it boils completely."
Spirituality, Byrne feels, is like invisible water.
It appears as a light blue dot in the spiritual world. Although it cannot be seen or touched in the real world, it is undoubtedly a real substance that exists.
In order to mobilize the spirituality to a boiling point, it is necessary to use specific behaviors and methods to constantly guide it. As a pioneer, Byrne has no choice but to try things related to "mystery" and "knowledge" one by one.
As Byrne flipped through books at home, he would ponder to himself.
“Although I can only find the way to the next step through a lot of trial and error, if I can find it, it will be much easier for those who come after me to take this path.”
"I just don't know who will set foot on the long steps of the 'Path of Knowledge' in the future."
After completing the Lost Ritual, Granny Nada gained mysterious power through the potion, and the fanaticism she displayed afterwards even shocked Byrne and Irene.
Without hesitation, she donated fifty gold coins to the Fisher family, which was almost all of the old man's savings.
Later, Granny Nada forced her sons to learn about religion, but she did not ask them to worship gods. Instead, she always questioned the actions of the six major orthodox churches in history.
Without Irene's permission, she didn't dare to tell her sons anything about the Lost Lord.
Knowing how to follow rules and teachings is a good quality, and Irene is very satisfied with it.
Byrne and Irene both understood one thing: Granny Nada was paving the way for her sons, hoping that they would be able to join the Dawn in the future and become extraordinary beings under the glory of the great Lord of the Lost.
She had never thought of bringing her sons into Dawn before, but after they truly gained extraordinary powers, the old woman's thoughts changed completely.
Such a great opportunity, even if it comes with huge risks, is still something we are eager to have!
Whether to allow new followers to join Chenxi requires the consent of Irene, Byrne, and Chris. In fact, the most important decision is in Irene's hands.
She decided to find an opportunity to "test" some people in Nasir Town, and those who passed the "test" would face further "tests".
The people who need Irene to "test" are not only Granny Nada's sons, but also some other people in the town, such as John, a sea merchant with whom she has cooperated for many years, and even old Raymond's son Xiu.
After years of getting along with them, she could vaguely sense which people had no faith in the righteous God deep in their hearts.
That night, Margaret, lying in bed, suddenly pushed away her husband who was about to come closer.
Byrne was suddenly confused. After calculating some physiological time, he felt that it should be possible tonight.
"Byrne, I want to tell you something." Margaret said hesitantly.
"What's wrong?"
Byrne was confused and suddenly felt that his wife's expression became a little subtle.
Margaret thought for a moment, and finally smiled:
"I think I'm pregnant again."
Byrne was slightly stunned, then overjoyed. No matter what kind of extraordinary person they were, their fertility was always worrying. After years of hard work, they finally had a second result!
Ordinary people can give birth to many children as long as they are willing to sow more seeds, but the group of extraordinary people is extremely special.
Not only is it extremely difficult for extraordinary people to give birth, but there is also an upper limit to the number of children they can have. Once a certain number is exceeded, it is impossible to give birth to new offspring.
"That's great! Margaret, you really have worked so hard!"
He hugged his wife tightly as she smiled sweetly in his arms. They were both very happy. They hardly slept that night, and the couple talked for a long time, which was rare recently.
