Chapter 63: Gifts Must Always Be Returned



After hearing the old man's words, Leonard suddenly relaxed a lot.

He turned his attention back to the angel-level battle that took place in the afternoon and asked curiously:

"Which path does the giant snake shadow belong to?"

Pales Zoroast was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"'Snake of Fate', Speaker of the School of Life, Sequence 1 Angel.

“I didn’t expect Him to join them…”

The speaker of the School of Life? Has He also become Mr. Fool's favored one? The corresponding tarot card is "Wheel of Fortune"? Leonard's eyes widened slightly, and he felt that Mr. Fool's power was comparable to that of the seven major orthodox churches, and it was immeasurable.

“Archon of Death”… “Snake of Fate”… “Incomplete Messenger”… There have been three angels under Mr. Fool’s seat so far… No wonder Klein became a demigod so quickly… It hasn’t been long since I was involved in an angel-level battle. I can’t imagine what will happen in the future… Leonard took the letter and sat on the sofa. He felt even more anxious to digest the “Requiem” potion and become a “Spirit Wizard”.

——He had been busy trying to appease the souls in the Backlund region during this period, but due to the large number of tasks, he was still a long way from completion and could not find an opportunity or excuse to go to Tingen City to steal the power of the drop of "Eternal Sun" blood. The arrival of Amon's clone was much faster than he expected.

South of the Bridge, Rose Street, inside the Harvest Church.

Emlyn White, who had changed into a brown priest's robe, stood beside the long table with candlesticks. He looked at Ernes Boyar who was trying hard to wipe the altar, raised his right hand, pointed casually and said:

"The side, the left side, wasn't wiped clean."

Ernes Boyar, who was also dressed in the garb of the "Mother Earth Goddess" clergyman, glared at Emlyn angrily, but still followed the order and re-wiped the area that he had just done a perfunctory job on.

"I know you're angry, just like when I found out that you sold me the castle intelligence but deliberately concealed key information." Leonard smiled and said without caring about the other party's gaze. "Also, I forgot to tell you one thing. I'm also a viscount. It happened last week."

The Viscount of the Blood Clan corresponds to Sequence 5 "Crimson Scholar" of the "Moon" pathway. One of the conditions for the promotion ceremony is to be under the illumination of a full moon. In addition to this, one must also gather enough metals, gems representing different states of the moon, and the blood of extraordinary creatures. It is quite complicated.

However, Emlyn had already received a promise from the vampire high-ranking officials that they would hold a ceremony for him free of charge, and as soon as the full moon arrived, he successfully completed the promotion.

As for the digestion of the "Potions Professor", he felt that he had succeeded without putting much effort into it, because he often taught herbology and even some special-purpose potion combinations to civilian believers who were willing to learn in the Harvest Church. In addition to collecting secret dolls, studying history, and volunteering in the church, he also liked to figure out various potions for use in different battle scenarios.

"...You are a viscount?" Ernes Boyar stood up straight abruptly, looking surprised.

Within the blood clan, because they are all immortal species, the total population accumulated is not small, and the number of extraordinary characteristics is limited. It can be said that the promotion of the title is very difficult. It requires a long queue before it is possible to wait. And Emlyn White has only been a baron for about half a year!

Ernes remembered that it took him sixty years to ascend from baron to viscount, and that was because his father was attacked by an artificial vampire and died prematurely, leaving behind an inheritance.

"Of course." Emlyn's smile became more obvious, but he remained reserved. "I got a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic from an artificial vampire."

Ernes Boyar looked at Emlyn, not knowing what to say for a moment, as if he had suffered a heavier blow than becoming a volunteer at the Harvest Church.

"Your expression is very interesting." Emlyn said, "Tsk, maybe one day, you will have to call me Your Excellency the Earl."

"Arrogant! Arrogant!" Ernes blurted out.

I have been very modest. I didn't say I wanted to become a duke or even a prince... How can I become the savior of the blood race if I am not at the level of an angel? Moreover, within our Tarot Club, Mr. World has been promoted to a demigod, and Ms. Hermit will soon be promoted. This will definitely be a gathering at the level of demigods in the future... Emlyn smiled, and unlike usual arguments with Oness, he acted as if the other party's words were not worth refuting.

Of course, he also understood that the racial advantage of the blood race would no longer exist after the stage of "Crimson Scholar", and the difficulty of becoming a count was no less than that of an artificial vampire being promoted to "Witch King".

The digestion of the "Crimson Scholar" potion is relatively simple. All you need to do is love the moon, worship the moon, and study the moon devoutly. This is what most vampires do on a daily basis... However, the corresponding rituals are in the hands of the demigods. Without their permission, even if I can get the extraordinary characteristics of the "Witch King" from the "Sun", I cannot become an earl... Although Emlyn is arrogant, he is very clear about what the next path will be like.

The two core abilities of the "Crimson Scholar" are: one is the ability to create an environment that is beneficial to itself - when the enemy is not good at spirituality or the spirit world, it will create a "full moon" effect, otherwise the moon in that area will disappear; the second is that within a certain range of moonlight, it can gain the ability to teleport and become moonlit, so that even if it is shattered by others, it can be reassembled in the moonlight.

The strength of these abilities depends on the "Crimson Scholars"' understanding and research of the "Moon" field.

As for the strengthening of dark spells, the improvement of potion effects, and the acquisition of resistance to nightmare influences, these are incidental.

Ernes was angered by Emlyn's attitude and was about to speak again when he saw the mountain-like half-giant Bishop Utravsky walk out from the back of the church.

He quickly bent his back, lowered his head, and continued to clean the altar.

Emlyn White also picked up the rag and candlestick and wiped the surface skillfully.

In the quiet atmosphere, he thought of one thing, that is, if he left the Harvest Church now, would the high-ranking members of the blood clan ask him to hand over the magical items or extraordinary props he got from Oness?

This... If they proposed this, I really couldn't refuse, because some of the items didn't belong to Ounes... Emlyn thought about it carefully, and decided to go back to the room, arrange a ceremony, and sacrifice the spoils to Mr. Fool, and then share them with members of Star, Justice and others.

Well, the "Rose Oath" ring does not need to be sacrificed. It is just one of the rings. Whoever gets it will be discovered and confirmed by the holder of the other ring... Just treat it as my trophy. I will hand it over to Marquis Nibais directly tonight. I should be able to exchange it for a reward... I will no longer participate in the distribution of the rest... Emlyn soon came up with a more specific plan.

As for whether the high-ranking members of the vampire clan would be angry and hate him because of this, he was not too worried, because when submitting the "Rose Oath" ring, he would also mention in passing that an important member of the Rose School of Temperance was seeking cooperation.

This incident happened last week, and Emlyn wanted to tell the high-ranking members of the vampire clan at that time. However, in the following small gathering, the "Hanged Man" suggested that he wait until the punishment was over before doing so, in order to show his importance and resolve the hidden anger and resentment.

Hit with a stick and then give a carrot? At this moment, Emlyn suddenly had a deeper understanding of this suggestion.

…………

160 Böklund Street, Dwayne Dantes' bedroom.

Their loot this time was pretty good: a diamond collar pin that boosted energy, kept one awake, and resisted mental influences; a paper substitute that could protect against fatal injuries and mental piercing; a belt that reduced the damage from "sun" and "lightning"; and a wallet with more than 300 pounds in cash... Klein, who had just received the sacrifice and returned to the real world, sighed silently, sat down at the desk, and took out a transparent worm.

As soon as he saw the insect, he felt a headache and recalled the pain of his spiritual body being torn apart.

This is the "Spirit Worm" he split from himself, used to make a reward for the "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin.

He already had an idea on how to replicate the item that could temporarily restore the opponent's strength. That was to use the "Spirit Worm" as a carrier and use the complete symbols copied last time to trigger a response from the mysterious space above the gray fog.

His divination result was that things would go relatively smoothly.

"The essence of that item is actually one of the abilities of the Diviner Path Sequence 3, Ancient Scholar. It borrows some power from history and from my past self for a short period of time... I will respond as The Fool, so there will be no problem...

"The only problem is that the corresponding symbols are three-dimensional, mysterious, complex, and dangerous, and cannot be directly engraved on various metal sheets... According to Will Auceptin, we have to use meditation to drive spirituality and draw directly on the 'Spirit Worm'...

"If successful, I will make one for myself and see what I looked like in the past. I will see if it can be traced back to when Klein Moretti was a child, or when he was in the 'cocoon' hanging on the light gate... If it is the latter, it would be best to determine how many years he has been hanging there..." Klein entered a meditative state thoughtfully, and then kept sketching symbols in his mind to guide his spirit to reproduce this process outside and infiltrate the "Spirit Worm".

This is a complex and difficult task, and failure is inevitable if you are not careful.

Invisible symbols fell one after another and were added to the "Spirit Worm". Suddenly, Klein's body shook slightly, and the "Spirit Worm" burned on its own and turned into ashes.

Looking at the empty palm, Klein felt a headache. He was silent for a long time before he muttered to himself:

“Life is so hard…”
