Chapter 35: Silver
The baby's loud cries still echoed through the manor, but no one including Lady Eru had any intention of comforting him, for what was happening before them had captured their full attention. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What the old butler had feared did not happen, the baby's little face was as clean as ever, and the quilt on his body was not stained with the slightest trace of blood.
The blood in Fawkes's mouth did spurt towards the baby in his arms, but it was blocked from the surface of the body by the baby's own vindictive protection. They splattered in all directions, not really landing on the baby.
It wouldn't be surprising if something like this happened to a middle-aged knight. Even if it happens to a young person, it will only cause others to be amazed.
However, it happened to a baby, it was indeed too crazy, at least the usual "mature and steady" aristocratic lords were now dumbfounded.
It's not that they don't understand what it means, on the contrary, they are well-informed and know very well what it means, but it is precisely because of this that they find it incredible.
"Fighting spirit, silver rank, a newborn child?"
Three rhetorical questions in quick succession revealed the shock in Lady Ellu's heart, and she forgot to even say a word of concern to the wounded old butler.
Of course, at this time, no one cared about other things, they all stared intently at the children on the high platform, completely forgetting the passage of time.
The hidden Heroic Spirit almost revealed his body, not only surprised, but also excited.
Unlike Lady Ellu, these noble family owners, who have been raised as heirs since childhood, have unique features in terms of knowledge and associations of things.
So, when Lady Eru was amazed that the newborn baby actually had the strength of the Silver Rank, they had already judged the reason for this to happen.
"Silver blood?"
The head of the house's voice was not loud, but it was still very visible in the quiet manor.
The baby had long been weeping and had fallen asleep in Fawkes's arms, so the manor was as quiet as a cemetery under the moon.
The protective fighting spirit was naturally withdrawn from the baby's body, after all, even a knight who has undergone strict training cannot keep himself in a state of stimulation while he is asleep, let alone a baby who has not completely controlled his own fighting energy.
"This ......"
Hearing the dry voice of the head of the house, Lady Ellu understood the meaning.
She stepped forward quickly and carefully took the child from Fawkes's arms. She looked carefully, and sure enough, at the center of the baby's eyebrows, a bright silver rune was looming, like a twinkling star on a frosty and misty sky.
Silver blood does not mean that the blood is silver, but that the blood is derived from silver life.
The bloodlines on the material continent are divided into black iron, bronze, silver, and gold according to their sources, and if the bloodlines are not overt, such a distinction is meaningless, but once the bloodlines are successfully stimulated, then the help it brings is definitely better than years of penance.
The black iron bloodline refers to the bloodline derived from the black iron life, and the so-called black iron life is the average human, orc, goblin, dwarf, etc., which is the most ordinary life level.
The Bronze Bloodline refers to the fact that the bloodline comes from the Bronze Life, and the dragons, elves, etc., are all members of the Bronze Life.
Therefore, dragons and elves not only have a long lifespan, but also have the strength of the bronze rank by nature, even if they have not undergone any training, they will definitely be able to reach the silver rank when they become adults, and if they work hard enough, it is not too difficult to break through the restrictions of the "wall of elements", at least it is easier than the black iron creatures.
Those who have inspired the Bronze Bloodline will have the same talent as the Bronze Life, with the only difference being that their lifespan is much worse than the Bronze Life.
There is a misconception here, because the half-elves are the product of the union of elves and humans, so many people believe that the ancestors of people with dragon blood must be dragons.
Such an idea is wrong, unless the divine fire is ignited, it is impossible for any demonic beast on the material continent to transform into a human form. Moreover, the aesthetic of dragons is very different from that of the human race, they like creatures with strong bodies and sturdy scales, and they will never be able to meet the eyes of human beauties.
Therefore, for every family with dragon blood on the continent, one of the ancestors must be a dragon slayer.
A person with a silver bloodline, one of his ancestors must be a legendary powerhouse. Because only after the baptism of the law can they break free from their own shackles and raise the level of life to silver.
And people with golden bloodlines are generally descendants of gods, of course, there are also some cultists who can obtain some demon bloodlines through sacrifices, which is also a type of golden bloodline.
The life level below the silver is okay, starting from the silver life, it is basically impossible for the lower life level to kill the upper level, and it is even more so when it comes to the golden life.
Therefore, it is not hopeless for the projection of the legendary rank to kill the high-level demons, but if you want to kill the high-level demons, it is purely a dream.
This is equivalent to people in the two-dimensional world who want to kill people in the three-dimensional world, and there is basically no possibility of success.
It is for this reason that Mephistopheles does not take the "legendary rank" of the deceased to heart.
He is indeed not the opponent of the other party, but the difference in life level makes the other party at most hurt or seal himself, of course, if the other party invites the power projection of the gods, it will be another matter.
There is no difference between the bloodline and the bloodline until it is stimulated, at most as a kind of capital to show off. However, once the stimulation is successful, then he will gain the same kind of life as the gift, and even his life will be greatly extended.
Take the Silver Blood as an example, once activated, you will immediately gain the strength of the Silver Rank, and you can easily break through the "Elemental Wall" and step into gold when you become an adult.
If his comprehension is good enough, it is not impossible to break the "rule barrier" and advance the legend.
Although bloodline stimulation can bring infinite benefits, it is difficult to stimulate, at least it is much more difficult than the occurrence of high-level atavism in Mephistopheles in previous lives.
The baby is the incarnation of Mephistopheles with the help of part of the life origin of the Earl of Bronck, and the blood of the Moult family naturally flows in the body, although the ancestral status of the Iga knight is no longer recognized, but the blood of the Moulte family is indeed a branch of the silver bloodline.
It is not impossible to artificially stimulate some fragments of life hidden in the depths of the bloodline, but the consequences are not something that no one can bear.
Just as a newborn baby is expected to grow into a healthy adult within a few days under extremely high levels of nuclear radiation, the idea of artificially stimulating the blood veins is undoubtedly a dream.
This kind of rough inducement method is definitely not something that creatures below the golden life level can undertake, and turning into minced meat is probably the only end.
However, although the baby looks fragile, it is the embodiment of the real ancestor devil, and it is not difficult to withstand such a means of stimulation after Mephistopheles possession.
For the incarnation that can share their own abilities, the stimulation of the silver bloodline does not have the slightest meaning, but for a family that has gone into decline, a family head who has stimulated the bloodline can definitely be recognized and respected by them in the shortest possible time.
Catch someone’s eye?
Mephistopheles didn't care about any of this, nor did she worry about what would be exposed.
No one knows what the devil is, so naturally there will be no suspicion and defense. Even the sleeping gods don't know that they have another kind of enemy besides demons.
What's more, it is a good thing for human beings, especially those of noble origin, to be eye-catching.
The writing of every epic is always started by a gifted hero, and it doesn't really matter whether the hero is a god or a devil, does it?
