Chapter 345 Tracking
After dinner, Crown came to the alchemy laboratory.
He put the spiritual coins that were delivered into a porcelain jar, then lit the golden talisman to produce a large amount of talisman water.
Then he poured the talisman water into the porcelain jar and sealed it. It would only take about twelve hours for the gray spirit coins to be purified into gold spirit coins.
With these funds, the business of acquiring Gray Spirit Coins can be resumed.
Now the spiritual concentration in the world is constantly increasing, and the number of evil spirits is also increasing, so the supply of Gray Spirit Coins is sufficient.
As he distributes more and more Dao Seeds in the future, he will never be short of Gold Spirit Coins.
Then, Crown took out some Tindalos hounds' spines from the frost circle.
He wanted to cook for himself, as the energy provided by ordinary food could no longer meet his needs.
If he relied on visualizing the Golden Light Mantra to replenish his energy, it would be a bit slow for him now.
The laboratory is equipped with all kinds of cooking tools and seasonings.
In a short time, a pot of fragrant broth is ready.
The extreme level of cooking skills grants him special abilities, allowing him to fully unleash the spiritual effects of the ingredients themselves.
Crown picked up a few pieces of flesh and bones and began to devour them, sucking the marrow out of them.
The gravy contained a special aroma that filled his mouth, and he almost bit his tongue.
As he ate, he felt a change in his sea of consciousness. A gray aura different from other energies appeared in his sea of consciousness and merged into the hourglass of time.
He could feel the joy emanating from the hourglass. The brass base of the hourglass seemed even more ancient, and the amount of sand of time that the spirit could hold began to increase slowly.
'I was wondering why this monster gave me a sense of déjà vu when we were fighting. It turns out that it has the power of the law of time. It replenishes what you eat. That's great!'
The corners of Crown's mouth curled up. The advancement of the Time Hourglass was very difficult, and now it was a complete surprise.
You can become stronger by eating, and the food is delicious. No one will refuse such a gift.
He sucked out the marrow, gnawed the meat off the bones cleanly, and then put away the remaining bones.
Not only does the master enjoy the delicious meal, but the animal trainers can also benefit from it and enjoy the second-cooked bone soup.
After eating a pot of bones and broth, Crown felt the dual satisfaction of body and spirit, and patted his belly comfortably.
He opened the alchemy room's defensive formation and activated the Breath of the Fire Dragon.
If the magic circle is not opened, the dragon might of the blood image will scare the servants in the mansion to tremble with fear, and they might even get sick.
The dragon soul leaped out from the void, stretched out its body gracefully, and made bursts of clear sounds. It was now becoming more and more agile.
The vital energy flowed in his body, the temperature of his blood began to rise rapidly, his bones and skin were tempered, a new drop of silver blood was created in his heart, and the waste blood in his body was discharged from his pores in the form of mist.
A faint sense of joy lingered in Crown's heart. He clearly felt that the efficiency of this practice was much higher than usual.
When most of the life energy in his body was consumed, he stopped practicing breathing techniques and summoned a golden wall.
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 45231/120000; Level 1]
Proficiency increased by 197 points and efficiency doubled compared to before.
It turned out that the right way to open it had not been found before. The flesh and blood of high-level monsters contained enough energy to greatly speed up the progress of the breathing method.
Or maybe it's just the peculiarities of the Hounds of Tindalos, but he has a new direction for what's to come.
However, he has now reached the fifth level, and ordinary monsters are no longer of any use. At least silver-level creatures are needed to provide enough "experience".
Now thinking about the two fourth-order chimera corpses left behind when fighting the cultists, he felt so heartbroken that he felt like bleeding.
After practicing the breathing technique for such a long time, the food he had eaten had been completely absorbed. Clown took out the remaining hound spines and stewed another full pot. When all the spines were eaten, Clown found that the time hourglass could now accommodate about 15% more time sand than before, and the duration of all derivative skills was greatly increased.
Next, he took out the leg bones and ribs of the Tindalos hound and stewed them.
These bones contain very few laws of time, but they still play a significant role in promoting the improvement of breathing techniques.
It only took him most of the night to eat up more than forty pounds of flesh and bones. The shape of the hourglass of time grew larger, and the volume of the sand of time increased by about 25%, which was a huge improvement.
Crown felt that if he could get two more Tindalos hounds, it would be possible to upgrade the hourglass to the fifth level.
In addition, the improvement in breathing method is also obvious.
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 48264/120000; Level 1]
It took more than six hours, and the proficiency in breathing techniques increased by more than three thousand points, which is equivalent to the normal increase of seven or eight days.
Now that there were no more bones to cook, Crown stopped practicing breathing techniques and returned to his bedroom to meditate on the Golden Light Mantra.
In the room, silver light flashed.
The gecko outside the window crawled into the house and bathed in the light comfortably, with the surface of his skin glowing with silver light.
In the early morning, dewdrops hung on the grass in the corner, sparkling in the morning sun.
Crown asked the kitchen to boil the hound bones he had left over from last night in a big pot. After stewing a large pot of broth, he used the Golden Light Dao Seed to find Fujin and Buster.
When the two trained beasts arrived, they immediately smelled the aroma of the broth. After getting their master's approval, they immediately began to enjoy the delicacy.
As the black cat continued to eat, its bones began to crackle and the crow's nostrils actually emitted sparks.
The whole pot of broth went into the pets' stomachs.
Buster sent a message: "Boss, the broth is helping me a lot. I feel stronger now."
Crown smiled and said to the cook, "Continue to use the bones to make soup until the soup tastes bland."
"Understood, sir."
The fat cook picked up the big pot, added water and put it on the stove.
"You two wait here for your soup."
After giving some instructions, Clown left and walked into the training ground. At this moment, the butler had already prepared several chicken coops.
William bowed and said, "Sir, you asked me to bring a live chicken last night. I thought one might not be enough, so I prepared a few more, five cages in total, eight chickens in each cage."
"Well, that's good. You've been very thoughtful. You can go and do your work. Billy will stay with me.
Also, come find me in the underground alchemy room after dinner tonight. I have refined several hundred gold spirit coins, which you can use for circulation."
He did not tell anyone about the information of purifying the Gray Spirit Coin. It was better to keep such a secret in one's own hands.
After he used the talisman water to purify the spirit coins, he gave them to the housekeeper in batches, claiming to others that they were tempered using alchemy.
Klauen himself was a high-level alchemist. Although he used a lot of gold spirit coins for each "tempering", as a fifth-level strongman, he did not arouse any suspicion for having such ability.
"Yes, sir."
When William heard that funds had come in, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot. It is really difficult to be a butler without funds!
Billy said respectfully, "Sir, what should I do?"
Clown pointed to the chicken coop on the ground and ordered, "Catch one."
He threw his Valyrian steel scalpel to the other man and continued, "Slash the chicken's thigh, deeply but without damaging the bone. Can you do that?"
"No problem," Billy patted his chest, "I've also participated in the guard team's training in my spare time. I can handle it."
As he said that, Billy reached into the cage, trying to grab a big rooster.
"Ouch," the big rooster pecked him rudely.
Billy endured the pain, grabbed the rooster's legs, and dragged it out. He slashed the rooster's thigh fiercely as if to vent his anger, and the chicken blood spurted out.
The rooster began to struggle desperately, but Billy held him down tightly and he couldn't break free.
Clown first summoned a golden wall to record the current proficiency of the Healing Wind, and then activated the Life Energy to release the Healing Wind on the rooster. The bleeding speed in its thigh immediately slowed down a lot.
After a few more seconds, the rooster's wounds began to heal.
When the rooster's bleeding had completely stopped, Crown checked its wound and found that it had completely scabbed over, which was countless times faster than normal.
However, the blood it had lost could not be restored in a short period of time, and the rooster's condition became a little sluggish.
Crown summoned the golden wall again and checked the skill proficiency.
After looking at the data, he nodded slightly. The good news was that when Healing Wind was released on an injured target, the speed at which proficiency increased would increase exponentially.
Crown thought about it and decided to try whether the severity of the injury would affect the increase in proficiency.
Then, a bronze dagger appeared in his hand, and the poor rooster entered the darkest moment of its life . After a busy period, Crown came to a conclusion.
At the current skill level, releasing Healing Wind after reaching a certain level of injury does not increase the speed of acquiring proficiency.
At this time, the originally vigorous rooster had become much thinner, and even the color of its feathers had become dull. It was obvious that it had been bearing a burden that it should not have borne.
Clown decided to give it a quick death, so he immediately cut off the chicken's head and said, "You are responsible for catching the chicken. When a chicken is obviously in bad condition, kill it and replace it with another one."
"As you command, sir."
The half-hour training time was over quickly, and there were only six chickens left in all the chicken coops. They huddled in the corner and shivered.
Crown waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's enough for today. Remember to inform the butler and ask him to prepare more chicken tomorrow."
Billy agreed, "Understood."
He cleaned up the scene simply and left quickly.
Crown summoned the golden wall to check today's harvest.
[Healing Wind: 206/2000; Level 1]
The proficiency increased by more than 140 points in half an hour, which is quite fast.
At noon, the church's pastor who took over Nick's job arrived in Hamers.
After handing over the work, Crown and his companion left on an airship and headed for the Holy Fire Cathedral in Rhine City.
The next day, Flanders presided over a grand funeral for Cavendish and some of the priests who died in the battle.
"Pray for the dead, and ask the merciful God of Fire to send angels to lead the lost lambs to the kingdom of eternal life."
As everyone prayed, the sacrificed soldiers were bathed in the raging flames.
After the funeral, Nick and his wife left Rhine City immediately. Fanny didn't want to face those uncles again.
Crown visited his sister's family, gave two Tao seeds to Martin and Julia, and passed on the relevant skills.
With the help of Dao Seed, the two children will definitely grow much faster than their peers.
After saying goodbye to his sister, he returned to the Holy Fire Cathedral and met Flanders.
Clown took out a golden light seed and explained its effects in detail. Finally, he said, "Archbishop, you can consider whether to take it."
With Cavendish's death, the strength of the high-ranking members of the diocese declined significantly, and if the archbishop could become stronger, his life would be easier.
Flanders took the Tao Seed handed over, swallowed it without hesitation, and said with a smile:
“When we first met, my strength had reached the pinnacle of the third level, while you had barely reached the second level.
Later, I watched you grow rapidly step by step. First, you advanced to the third-level extraordinary and became a bishop, and then advanced to the silver level. Now you have become a fifth-level extraordinary.
I am amazed at your growth. How can I refuse such a good thing as being able to share your bloodline ability? ! "
He let out a long sigh and continued, "Cavendi was my best friend and my strongest supporter. His death made me realize that we are still very weak.
The threat of the evil god is getting closer and closer, and I don't want to fall on the way to resist the evil god.
Therefore, I will seize every opportunity that allows me to be strong.”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He also has a competitive spirit, otherwise he would not have left his family and come to the Farouk Kingdom alone to develop.
Clown asked, "Aren't you worried that the Dao Seed thing is a conspiracy I made up?"
"Of course I am worried, but I trust my own intuition more. The aura I sensed from you is legitimate, which makes me put aside my last bit of worry."
What Flanders didn't say was that he had analyzed Clown's aura in detail many times through the church's magic array. This aura did not have a trace of impurities, it was pure and peaceful.
"You will never regret your choice."
Clown said solemnly. He passed on the visualization method and several other skill insights through the Tao Seed and continued:
"You will soon be able to feel the magic of this visualization method."
"Oh, then I'm going to try it now."
Flanders carefully pondered the visualization method for a while, and then began his first practice.
Visualization was like meditation to him. As an archbishop with decades of meditation experience, he quickly grasped the essence of visualization and began his first visualization.
When Crown saw him begin to visualize, he also entered a state of visualization.
When he visualizes, he can influence the visualization state of the Tao Seed holder. Through this influence, he can help the archbishop quickly improve the level of the Golden Light Mantra.
With his help, Flanders was completely immersed in the wonderful feeling of visualization.
In just half a day, the Archbishop's Golden Light Spell had reached the third level.
When Flanders finished his meditation, he was still in an excited state. He said excitedly:
"Your bloodline ability is naturally the nemesis of the evil god's pollution law."
His breathing was very rapid and his face was flushed with excitement. The visualization method allowed him to experience the power of two laws. These two powers were very effective in dealing with the law of pollution.
Klauen nodded and joked, "You are right. We are also a thorn in the evil god's side. We will definitely be closely watched by the evil god in the future."
"Haha, even without this bloodline, the evil god will keep a close eye on us."
The stars and the moon in the sky were obscured by the gray fog. When people on the ground looked up at the sky, they could only see a depressing and silent darkness.
It was late at night, and the air had grown lazy, without a breath of wind.
Downton Abbey on the outskirts of Bligh is brightly lit.
Sarco was lurking on a big tree outside the manor, looking into the manor. He was tracking the Pope.
After a while, a dark shadow jumped out of the manor and disappeared into the night.
From the body shape, Sarco recognized that the dark figure was the Pope.
For silver-level transcendents, they can see clearly even in the dark.
He hesitated for a moment and did not continue to track the other party. He decided to sneak into the manor to see why the Pope came here so late at night.
Not long after he left, the departing shadow quietly returned to the tree where he had just been staying.
Sarco dodged the guards of the manor and reached the room of the manor owner, Charles Wood.
The room was pitch black, and as soon as he approached it, he smelled a strong smell of blood. He listened carefully and found that there was no breathing sound inside.
His heart skipped a beat and he sank to the bottom. The Pope had been here.
Sarko used unconventional means to open the door and sneak into the room.
After entering the room, he found Charles lying on his back in the living room with a big hole in his chest.
He put on rubber gloves and felt around the dead man's chest. After a long while, Sacco stood up with a long sigh.
Charles' heart was gone. This method was exactly the same as the way a series of deaths of noble family heads occurred recently.
"Is this really what the Pope did?"
Sarco's heart became confused. Charles was attending the nobles' meeting this afternoon, but now he died in his own manor. The only visitor who had the ability to kill him was the Pope.
He felt that the image of the Pope in his mind began to collapse, and the original person who worked tirelessly for the cause of the Church disappeared. He wondered how to convey his discovery to the members of the College of Cardinals.
Perhaps because he was too focused on his thoughts, Sarco did not notice a dark shadow following him on his way back.
When he completely left the sphere of influence of Downton Abbey, a sinister voice rang out: "Sacco, where have you been so late?"
Sarko heard the voice coming from behind him and immediately figured out everything.
He turned around and echoed, "Ah, Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Osman did not answer, but walked forward with a playful look in his eyes.
Sarko understood and asked coldly, "Why?"
"I'll tell you when you die."
Osman's face was all smiles, but his words were extremely vicious.
A few days ago, he finally repaired the damage to the source of his life and advanced to the fifth level. His spiritual perception became even sharper.
It was from then on that he felt he was being followed.
We came to Downton Abbey today, firstly to get the silver heart, and secondly to fish out the tracker.
Sarco knew that there was no way the situation would end peacefully, so he roared and fled into the distance.
He understood that the Pope was powerful, but he had no intention of staying.
"Can you escape?!"
Osman muttered to himself, quickened his pace and chased after Sako.
The McLean family was making plans on the hill. There was a roar coming from the sky. Purinton looked up at the sky and saw a giant airship coming towards them.
As the airship got closer, he finally saw the pattern on it clearly:
"Isn't this the airship of the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Hinterland? Why did they come to such a remote place?"
Freya also saw the airship and said, "Judging from the pattern, this airship is a shareholder's private airship. It must be passing by."
She had been involved in family-related industries and had dealt with the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce several times.
Audrey squinted her eyes, thinking. She recognized that the pattern on the airship concealed the mark of the Chamber of Commerce's major shareholder, Rivegaz.
She thought for a moment and said, "The route of the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce does not include Rhine City, let alone Hamers, a small city that was established only two years ago. However, the possibility of this airship passing by is not high. The Farouk Kingdom is already located in the northernmost part of the continent. If it passes by here, it can only step into the vast snowy area."
The Chamber of Commerce is an industry that does business and makes profits. How could it be doing useless work?
Purinton saw the airship begin to slowly land and said with a smile:
"We have completed our plan here, so why don't we go back and take a look. If a chamber of commerce of the level of Good Luck Gold Coin has business dealings with Hamers City, it will be a good thing for us."
"Yes," Audrey agreed, "Let's go back."
In the study, Crown kept smiling as he listened to Eliza talk about her childhood.
He would say something from time to time, causing the other person to smile continuously.
At this moment, William came in hurriedly:
"Sir, Lord Rivegaz is here to visit and is waiting in the living room."
The butler attached great importance to the cooperation with the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, so he came trotting to notify us.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Eliza added, "Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce? This is a well-known chamber of commerce on the mainland."
Clown nodded and said to her, "Let's go and see this old friend together."
"Is it convenient?"
Eliza was a little hesitant. The Chamber of Commerce usually discussed cooperation, and it would be inappropriate for her to get involved now.
"Of course it's convenient. You will become the mistress of the Moya family in the future. I hope you can help me with these mundane affairs."
Eliza blushed slightly, lowered her head and whispered, “Yeah.”
The two were led to the living room by the butler, and Rivigaz immediately stepped forward and greeted:
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You are more elegant than ever. Now the whole continent is praising your deeds. You are the youngest fifth-level extraordinary person and a role model for all extraordinary people."
Crown nodded slightly. These were just empty names. It was enough to just listen to them.
He sat on the main seat and said with a smile, "Sit down and talk."
Rivigaz sat down and said straight to the point:
"Sir, I have brought another batch of bright yellow stones, all of which are of good quality."
When Crown heard this, he could no longer hide his smile.
With high-quality bright yellow stone, he can start making the Sun Thunder Seal.
The combined use of the two types of thunder seals, the Sun and the Moon, is his strongest means of attack, and the fact that two fifth-order soul-eating jellyfish were killed instantly is proof of this.
