Chapter 34: Bloodline (Part II)

Although the matter was delegated to the old butler, as the contemporary head of the Morte family, Lady Eru still had to personally supervise the entire inspection process, which was her duty. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The table was set up on a small elaborate table with utensils and a slightly broken sword.

These vessels are the tools used to examine the bloodline, and the sword is the true overseer of the whole process.

It was the sword worn by one of the ancestors of the Morte family, and after he became a Heroic Spirit, the sword became a tool that could help him manifest his consciousness.

In other words, when this sword was placed on this table, the ancestor who lived in the ancestral hall had already set his eyes on it.

The combat power of the golden rank alone does not mean anything, although for the people at the bottom, the powerhouses of the golden rank can already be called big shots, but for the nobles who dare to compete for power and profit with the temple, it is not enough.

The Morte family did not awaken the heroic spirit of this ancestor to frighten anyone, but simply to use his identity. After all, his identity is indeed the best interpretation of the fairness of the ritual.

This is also for the sake of the baby's future, so that there will be no more endless careerists who use this as an excuse to cover up their greed.

The moment they saw the sword, the nobles understood that the Morte family was serious.

The pure soul fluctuations emanating from the scabbard filled the entire manor without concealment, and such a familiar scene made the nobles present make the judgment of "Heroic Spirit Descending" at the first time, even if there were no Heroic Spirits showing their bodies in the manor.

This kind of thing is normal, and more than half of the nobles present may have experienced it, so they can naturally understand it.

The one who can become a heroic spirit must be the elders of the current head of the family, at least for tens of thousands of years, it has not happened that the father is still there, and the heir has become a heroic spirit.

After all, not every Gold-rank powerhouse can become a Heroic Spirit after death, and the probability of this is actually very low. There is hope only if the attachment has reached a certain level, and there is no absolute belief in any god in itself, or the kingdom of God in which the god is believed in has been broken. Moreover, the transformation process also has high requirements for the external environment, otherwise it is easy to become a resentful spirit.

It is even more difficult to protect the heroic spirit in the family, at least this family member must have a deep love and attachment to the family, and it must also be recognized by many family members from the heart.

Those who can meet these conditions are generally the current or previous generation of family heads, and those juniors who have not yet had experience in governing the family are naturally hopeless.

Moreover, the Golden Rank that is less than thirty years old cannot be said to be absent in the Material Continent, but except for those who are bathed in divine grace, thrown into darkness, and have a special bloodline, there are very few who can achieve this step.

This is also the reason why the heroic spirits generally do not show their figures, their seniority is too high, once they show up, not to mention their own juniors, even other nobles have to come up to salute because of etiquette.

Once or twice, every time like this, I'm afraid even my own juniors will be suspicious in my heart, right?

Before becoming Heroic Spirits, they were also members of the aristocracy, so naturally they would not annoy the juniors so plainly. This can be regarded as a tacit agreement of all the family guardians of the heroic spirits.

What's more, this method is also conducive to maintaining mystery, as long as the device that awakens you is different every time, then outsiders will never know: "these" heroic spirits are actually played by this one.

And if you don't know how many heroic spirits are guarding this family, then no one will underestimate this family at any time, and they will not choose to easily provoke the glory it has.

The old butler picked up a slender collector made of ceramic and placed it on the flame to burn.

This is the vessel used to take blood, of course, disposable.

It may be that people in the material continent don't know what bacteria and viruses are, but that doesn't mean they are defenseless. This is a world of gods, and there are many evil gods who wield authority over plagues and diseases.

Therefore, some of the precautions were even better than what Mephistopheles had done in his previous life, after all, the material world had the existence of divine magic.

In other regions, when the nobles performed such testing rituals, the priests themselves performed divine magic to purify the vessels. Even this kind of porcelain was developed by the temple, and after it was made, it was kept in a sealed spell box.

Moreover, all the utensils are destroyed on the spot after being used once, and it is impossible to leave an opportunity for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of.

But even so, they still have to carry out divine baptism, after all, they are nobles, and they want to be this style.

The Frozen Coast is different, it's a unique place.

Therefore, the nobles here chose to burn the utensils with purification lamps made of alchemy.

The fuel in the lamp burns to produce a purifying flame, which is safer than the holy water and purification magic provided by the temple, and of course, it is much more expensive.

The rarity of the fuel inside makes you feel like you're not burning amber water, you're burning gold coins.

With a solemn expression to complete the "disinfection" ceremony, the old housekeeper carefully punctured the baby's fingertips with a utensil and extracted a drop of blood.

At this moment, the old butler suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and then a shock came to his chest.

He subconsciously wanted to stimulate his fighting spirit to protect himself, but he immediately realized that he was still holding a baby in his arms, and in desperation, he had to suffer the impact.

"Bang-"

The impact slammed straight into his chest, sending a fishy sweetness to his throat. He tried to swallow the blood, but he didn't succeed and spit it out.

"Fawkes!

Lady Eru exclaimed in surprise when she saw the old butler vomiting blood.

She wanted to wave her hand and signal the guards behind her to step forward to protect her, but she subconsciously stopped what she was doing and stared blankly at everything that was happening in front of her, as if she was stupid.

At this time, the old butler had already gotten a lot of information from this blow: the enemy's attack just now was not strong, and the fighting spirit from the impact was very scattered and did not converge together.

Otherwise, even if he already had the strength of the Silver Peak, at such a close distance, he would not only suffer some minor injuries if he received this blow with his physical body.

Based on this alone, he judged the strength of the other party - he had just stepped into the silver gate.

Just as elemental power is a sign of the Gold Rank, the Fighting Spirit Separation definitely means that this knight has stepped into the Silver Rank.

However, what frightened the old butler was that the enemy could get so close to him without being detected, and this method of concealing his body was too powerful.

You know, it's not just him Fawkes who is on top of the high platform, there is also a Heroic Spirit who hasn't shown his body!

It can completely conceal the eyes of the Heroic Spirit, which have the ability to perceive falsehood, and this skill may only exist in legends, right?

Thinking of this, Lao Guan's heart was glad again: fortunately, the target of the other party's attack was himself, if he attacked the baby in his hand, I am afraid that no one would be able to save this poor little life.

Wait, baby?

The old butler snapped back to his senses, and a loud cry came clearly into his ears. His heart was full of self-reproach, if nothing else, the blood just now should have sprayed on the baby's body. Whether the baby was a member of the Morte family or not, it would be a serious transgression for oneself as a retainer to do such a thing.

He hurriedly looked at the baby, but the scene in front of him had a huge impact on his past cognition, so much so that he blurted out an exclamation: "Silver?"
