-38- Promotion to Extraordinary

After coming out of the arsenal, Elsa borrowed a pen and a piece of paper on the spot, wrote down an application with gusto, handed it to a "civil servant", and was told to reply within three days.

Next, the two went out and turned left and entered the collection place of various sundries.

In charge of this is an elderly lady, said to be the wife of the old man in the arsenal next door.

The two of them have worked together in the logistics department for most of their lives.

After filling in her basic information, the old lady took out a document from the warehouse, took a headshot of Irena on the spot, and stuffed it into the document, along with the Divine Judge badge and three identical black uniforms.

The men's and women's models are the same as the women's models, with a long black trench coat and a black sound, and the boots are long-barreled to prevent falling off.

This is worn on a mission, along with a white uniform.

Except that the version is similar to the black version, but there are some more modifications on it.

For example, the hem of the trench coat has been changed to a lace pattern, some obvious places are printed with pale gold lines, and the heel of women's boots has been changed to a stiletto heel.

There is an embroidered patch on the fabric in front of the heart, and the lines on it are the shield, sword, and six-winged badge of the Divine Ruler.

It's just that she doesn't have any of her six wings now.

By looking at the number of wings, one can understand what rank this Divine Judge is.

This is the uniform worn by the Divine Judge when attending meetings and events.

It's a little fancy, but at least you don't have to show up in the dark.

The old lady is also the type who doesn't like to talk, and after Irena gets her things, she goes out with Elsa and turns left.

Elsa stretched out her hand to take all the things and reminded, "The final step of receiving the cultivation method, or the engraving of the stigma, is very crucial, it will be the first step for you to become an extraordinary person, and there is also a point, after the first time a gifted person obtains the imprint, he will activate the extraordinary gene in his body, so as to obtain a special ability that is unique to him." ”

"Of course, there will be accidents, like you are still an ordinary person who can use the Pale Holy Flame, which I didn't expect, but there are precedents, don't worry about being too special."

After talking, the two stood in front of the last house.

"Go ahead, I'll give you some knowledge of cultivation when you come out."

Irena nodded, I have to say that although Elsa usually looks quite improper, a proper old Siji, but when something really happens, she is still very reliable.

With her guarding outside, Irena was relieved and mustered up the courage to open the door and walk in.

The picture changes, and you are greeted by an unrenovated cave.

The space is about the same as the hall outside.

An altar emitting holy light stood in the middle of the cave, and there was no more light source other than that.

The gray-haired old man was sitting on crutches beside the altar like a vegetative person.

Irena wants to complain a little, because the staff in these three rooms are all elderly?

Is it because it's too idle that no one does it?

"There's another little one."

"Come here, stand in the middle of the altar."

The old man spoke, his voice very hoarse, full of the precipitation of time.

Irena did so.

Then the old man walked to the side of the workbench, on which were placed all kinds of materials, plants, living things, inorganic matter...... It's like there's everything.

He skillfully took a few medicinal herbs, threw them into a small stone basin, and then thoroughly ground them with a grinding rod, and finally added some transparent liquid, forming a viscous liquid that was green and not a few pieces.

"The Altar of Blessing, for ordinary people who are performing their first transcendent awakening, has a greater chance of gaining unique abilities."

"The so-called unique ability, not everyone is extraordinary, it is possible to obtain, purely look at genes and luck, I hope the goddess will favor you, I don't know if you are lucky or not."

Irena panicked when she heard this, and laughed at herself: "Then I don't think I'm very lucky, I just came out of prison recently." ”

When the old man heard this, he laughed and went into the altar with a small stone basin.

"It's okay if you're not lucky, have a little confidence in yourself, metaphysics may help you, okay, now take off your top, including underwear."

???

But after thinking about it, it should be normal operation, so Irena took off her shirt and dropped it on the altar.

"The Divine Mark is to be engraved on the back, it hurts a little, bear with it."

Speaking of this mark, Irena couldn't help but remember that when she took a shower with Elsa, she saw a strange white and gold pattern tattooed on her back, and thought it was a tattoo or something, but she didn't expect it to be a stigma.

Now, she's going to have it too.

The old man first touched Irena's back in all directions with his hands, and memorized the lines of the back in his mind, so that the engraved stigma would not fail due to the "small bumps" of the bones and muscles.

He is also an experienced master and will not make low-level mistakes.

After the old man touched it, he was amazed, "It's a pity not to engrave the stigma on such a perfect back, but fortunately you came, believe me, I will carve the most perfect stigma for you." ”

Irena heard his love for this business from the old man's words, and handed it over to him, it should be fine......

Turning her head, she couldn't see anything behind her.

The old man took a silver dagger, dipped the tip in the liquid he had just grounded, and then pressed the spire against Irena's first thoracic vertebrae.

"Carving the stigma is to go deep into the spine, if you want to shout, shout out, don't hold back, it's coming!"

The old man reminded him again, and Irena was ready.

In the next second, the tip of the dagger pierced into the back and plunged into Irena's first thoracic vertebrae, and the sigil potion flowed down the dagger into the spine.

The pain at that moment really penetrated deep into the bone marrow and went straight to the heavenly spirit cover.

The pain spread from her chest to her whole body, making her almost convulse.

But the old man yelled, "Hold on! Can't move! ”

Irena was not a weak person, and the sockets of her back teeth were about to crumble, and she let out a few painful snorts.

As the dagger pulls out a little bit, cutting through the skin, the pain turns into soreness, and again and again, as if the squad leader scrapes your vertebrae with his long nails.

The feeling of the two-pronged approach was really sour, and Irena couldn't hold back the pain anymore and moaned in pain.

The high-decibel sound even reached the door, and the "civil servants" shrank their shoulders in fright, and only Elsa could understand Irena's pain at this time, because she had also experienced it.

"Come on, Irena......"

The dagger slashed through the skin one by one, piercing into the first, second, and third thoracic vertebrae, and finally carved the intricate first-order stigma on the back of the heart.

Her back was already covered in blood, and she looked hideous and pitiful.

Irena, who had made it all the way, finally didn't have to hold on anymore and collapsed directly on the altar.

At the same time that the stigmata was engraved, the altar suddenly shone brightly.

"Here we are...... The moment that determines a person's future! The old man retreated beyond the altar in time, "If you have a unique ability, you will tell yourself, if not, you can wait for the next advancement." ”

In the end, he silently added in his heart: "Come on, strong little girl!" ”

The engraved stigma is not something that every candidate for the Divine Judge who comes to awaken can survive, and some people run away because they can't bear the pain, and in the end, half of the potion remains in their bodies, not only failing to awaken, but also having the opposite effect, burying their own transcendent path.

But she held on, and no matter whether or not she had awakened her unique ability in the end, she was already a first-order transcendent.
