Before Karl could ask, Eve Dorn's face changed drastically and she said hurriedly:

"Lev, don't forget what you promised me!"

"Of course." Old Lev nodded, his voice dejected, and waved his hand to let everyone else leave, leaving only Aya and Xiaonan.

He continued, "I will not forget what I promised you. The seal on me originally belonged to the Dorne family and will be returned to them."

"Hmph!" Eve snorted coldly, "You'd better remember, if it weren't for the seal on your body, do you think I would come to help?"

Carl raised an eyebrow.

It seems that old Lev is no ordinary person.

He possesses breathing techniques, martial arts, and a magic seal, but I don't know how he ended up in this situation.

"Feel sorry."

Turning around, Old Lev smiled at Karl apologetically: "I can't give you the seal, but I do know a lot about the seal."

"It doesn't matter." Carl shook his head: "Knowledge is also a kind of wealth."

"Knowledge is also a kind of wealth?" Old Lev murmured, his eyes blank:

"Everyone should remember this. An old guy like me is not without value."

"So..." Carl asked curiously, "Where did the inheritance of the seal originally come from?"

"The inheritance of the seal is so long ago that it is impossible to verify. Perhaps it was before the Moon Goddess fell." Old Lev shook his head: "The seal on me comes from the Duke of Griffin. The seals of others also mostly come from a certain duke."

The seal comes from the Duke?

As far as Carl knew, there was no real kingdom in this world, so naturally there was no king, only many dukes occupying various places.

The most famous are the nine dukes.

Duke Tedal of Black City is one of the nine dukes, known for his cruelty and madness.

In this world, the duke is not just a title, but also a symbol of power, authority, and strength.

Every duke possesses extremely powerful military force.

This is completely different from the Kingdom of Gondor.

Carl continued to ask:

"How can I master the power of the seal?"

"If the person who possesses the seal is still alive, he can give it to someone else." Old Lev replied, "If he is dead, then he needs a seal seed to activate it, but the time cannot be delayed too long, otherwise without the nourishment of Qi and blood, the seal will completely dissipate."

"Seal seeds?" Carl's eyes moved slightly: "Do you have any?"

"Hmm..." Old Lev looked surprised, but did not ask if Carl had a seal on his hand. Instead, he said, "Not everyone can bear the seal."

"In reality, most people are unable to possess the power of the seal, even at the cost of their lives."

Karl's face turned serious: "Why?"

"I don't know either." Old Lev shook his head: "If you want to possess the seal, you need to pass the test. If you pass the test, you will naturally possess the power of the seal."

"unsuccessful……"

"There's a high probability that he will die."

Carl frowned.

He only has one life, and he is not willing to take this chance. He should continue to analyze it, but he is afraid that there will not be enough time, and the texture of the seal in the solidified liquid is becoming blurred.

"certainly."

Old Lev continued:

"If it's a knight's squire, I do have a way to save his life, but if that doesn't work, he'll have to rest for a while before he can recover."

This method is not unique to him, otherwise there wouldn't be so many knights and squires willing to try to accept the seal. People always value their lives.

"oh!"

Carl felt relieved and asked with a smile:

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to possess the seal 100%?"

“How could that be?” Old Lev shook his head. “If you fail once, it means you will never succeed. Without this talent, even a knight cannot succeed.”

Huh? Is this still possible?

This is similar to wizard talent. Without talent, you cannot learn witchcraft.

I don't know if the talent for seals and the talent for wizards overlap. If so, then Carl can give it a try.

Old Lev said:

"The seal has magical power, and some powerful seals are even more mysterious. However, once you accept the seal, it will be difficult to continue on the path of a knight."

"Even if you have the flesh and blood of an alien beast, it is still the same, unless you transfer the seal on your body to someone else."

"Wait a minute!" Carl raised his hand, his face solemn:

"You just said..."

"Exotic beast meat?"

"Yes." Old Lev nodded. "Exotic beast meat, the meat of exotic beasts that contains life force and can help knights practice, haven't you heard of it?"

Heard of it.

Of course Carl had heard of it! However, in the Kingdom of Gondor, the exotic beasts were almost extinct a long time ago, and the meat of exotic beasts was extremely rare. Only a very small number of people were qualified to eat it.

The life potion that can help a knight's squire be promoted to a knight is said to be extracted from the flesh of exotic beasts.

He had never dared to think about such a thing before.

He immediately asked:

"Is there any way to get exotic beast meat in Black City?"

"This..." Old Lev hesitated. "The several underground beast nests are controlled by several major forces in the city. It is difficult for outsiders to get them. But they can be exchanged for black stones from the city guards."

"But no matter which channel it is, the amount that comes out is not large."

Carl was relieved.

It's OK to have it! Even if the quantity is small and it's hard to get, it's better than nothing.

"Uncle."

Aya spoke at the right time: "I have recently collected some soul powder. I wonder when you will need it?"

Carl looked thoughtful.

If he agrees at this time, it will not only mean that the cooperation between the two parties will continue, but also that the relationship will be closer than before.

If you don't agree, the loss won't be that big, but whether it's exotic animal meat or something else, I'm afraid you'll have to find another way.

"This is the seal seed." Seeing that he was hesitant, Old Lev took out something from his pocket and said, "It's a gift for our first meeting."

“Hmm…” Karl looked at the other person with a look of surprise on his face, then smiled calmly: “Thank you!”

Then he looked at Aya: "The transaction will be in two days."

"If you need anything urgently, you can make a list and I will find a way to deliver it."

"Good!" Aya was delighted: "That's great!"

Old Lev also smiled.

* * * "We all need to learn more about the other world anyway, so it's okay to start with Aya and her group."

"It's familiar, more convenient, and relatively safe. Just think of it as training an agent."

Returning to the fragment of the divine domain, Carl put down the things in his hand and waved to summon his data panel.

Name: Carl (Lord of the Divine Domain Fragment)

Constitution: 0.78 Mental strength: 1.25 Source: 0 Occupation: Knight squire, junior wizard apprentice

With a constant supply of Light of Wisdom potions, Carl's mental strength has climbed to 1.25 in a short period of time. However, taking the same potion for a long time will make the human body develop drug resistance, and the Light of Wisdom is no exception.

Nowadays.

The effect of taking the medicine is only half of what it was at the beginning.

But it was enough for Carl. At least before he became an intermediate apprentice, he didn’t have to worry about potions to increase his mental strength.

In addition, with his current mental strength, he is qualified to learn the second zero-ring witchcraft.

But Adolf was not at home.

Secondly, he was afraid that if he rashly revealed his talent, it would attract the covetousness of others, so he did not look for it for the time being.

"There is no way to use witchcraft, so why not try the seal first? The seal can be removed from the body at any time anyway, and at most it will only waste a few days of rest."

Taking out the seal seed, Carl was thoughtful.
