Chapter 224: Weak, pitiful and helpless
Theoretically, the promotion of the Extraordinary can only start from Sequence 9, step by step towards the higher Sequence, and only wait until the potion of the current Sequence is digested before the promotion can be considered. The reason for this is to minimize the risk of losing control.
This includes the creation of extraordinary traits into potions and the presence of promotion ceremonies to further reduce the risk of loss of control.
Just like building a house, you have to lay a solid foundation before you can build a tall building on it. If there is no foundation, a high-rise building will only smash the ground to pieces.
However, in the 'embryonic age' when the blasphemous slate was never born, loss of control and madness were the main keynotes. After all, the transcendent beings of this era do not know what a pathway or sequence is, and there are often cases where low-sequence transcendent creatures swallow the extraordinary characteristics of the medium sequence or even the high-sequence.
Although the end of these transcendent creatures is often out of control or even because they can't withstand the huge energy explosion, there will always be some exceptions that survive—the ancestors of various transcendent races, most likely this is how they came.
While these creatures will inevitably fall into madness even if they survive, they will gradually regain their sanity over time as long as they produce enough offspring.
Ember is now going to do something similar, he wants Ornia, who is an ordinary person, to directly absorb the extraordinary properties of Sequence 7.
Usually, there are only two endings to this-
Either they are devoured by madness and turn into hideous and twisted monsters, or they are blown up by huge energy and die without even scum.
And Ember is going to choose the third way:
He wants Ornia to become a Sequence 7 Extraordinaire intact while preserving her sanity.
And to do this, it's not that hard, you just need to add a little fire.
Under the expectant and frightened gaze of the silver-haired and red-eyed young girl, Ember slowly pulled out the luxurious-looking, pagoda-like Holy Bell of Yu'er Shika.
Jingle bell~!
In the crisp sound of the bell, a golden circle emerged from the feet of the embers, slowly spilling out with a warm light.
[Farewell tears]
[Apostle of Archbishop Kalim
The miracle of Moen's teaching.
When HP reaches 0, you can escape death only once.
This is to give to the dying
A miracle that is enough to say goodbye to time.
Tears are shed for the living, far more than the dead. 】
Say goodbye first to make sure Ornia doesn't die because of it.
Ember suddenly looked up at the window, and Lilith subconsciously looked over, but there was nothing there.
Lilith was a little puzzled, and was about to ask if there was a situation, but Ember suddenly withdrew her gaze, looked at Ornia who was living with golden teardrops beside her, held a blood-red heart that was beating strongly, and said:
"Open your mouth."
The silver-haired and red-eyed young girl had a hint of confusion in her eyes, but she still obediently opened her small mouth, revealing her pink and soft mouth.
Syllable!
Flames suddenly rose from Ember's hand, enveloping the blood-red heart in his palm, scorching and melting it into a puddle of bright red liquid. Before Ornia could react, the flames burst into the young girl's mouth as if they had a thought of their own, carrying the bright red liquid inside.
Ornia, whose mouth was invaded by a foreign body, was startled and closed her eyes in fear, but her body did not feel uncomfortable. It was also because the bright red liquid turned into an invisible force that rushed to Ornia's limbs the moment it entered her body.
"Hmm~"
Ornia opened her eyes a little dazed, she had thought it would be painful, but now she only felt warm in her body...... She could easily feel the surging power in her body, and she could feel the mania in their bones, but this mania was firmly bound by some kind of force, making them docile like little sheep, and could only enter her body step by step according to the established speed and frequency, until her body could completely accept the infusion of this power.
"It went even better than I expected."
Ember bowed slightly, everything was as he expected, under the training of the flames, the power of the 'extraordinary characteristics' did not overflow in the slightest, and this transformation experiment was quite successful.
Ornia is now a vampire in Sequence 7 of the Medicine Pathway, and if you use the criteria for dividing the bloodline, she is now a standard adult bloodline, although she is still underage......
At this moment, Ornia suddenly closed her eyes again, and a large amount of mysterious knowledge corresponding to the sequence was injected into her mind with the power, and the swelling of her head made her frown in some pain.
But she quickly got used to it, and the pain was nothing compared to the loss of control of the extraordinary trait itself.
After doing all this, Ember turned his gaze to Aleka and suddenly asked:
"Where are the others hiding?"
Aleka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Ornia was safe. But at this time, when she heard Ember's inquiry, she still hesitated. She knew that Ember was asking about the whereabouts of the other descendants of the Guardians, but they were only children......
Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly, quite disdainful of Aleka's naivety:
"Even if they sacrifice Ornia, you still want to protect them?"
"Ah, yes, they're just kids, after all. No matter how cruel the fight between adults is, the child is innocent......"
Lilith sneered:
"What a naïve thought, have you forgotten that Ornia is just a child? When she was abandoned, did those people think about her? Or do you want to trade Ornia's life for the lives of those children? ”
"No, it's not...... Aleka turned pale, but her defense sounded so weak......
Just as Lilith was pressuring Aleka step by step, a childish and crisp voice suddenly sounded in their ears:
"I know where they're hiding."
"Ornia ......"
Aleka looked at Ornia in disbelief.
"Lilith."
Ember withdrew his gaze from Aleka and commanded:
"You and Ornia went to find someone, you know what to do, right?"
Lilith nodded seriously, and then said confidently:
"Nope."
Sister Dorothy likes to say this kind of thing to her subordinates, saying 'you know what you know', but even if the other party's behavior is in line with her heart, she is often blamed for it afterwards...... I'm not fooled. Lilith snorted inwardly.
Ember raised an eyebrow slightly, but still opened his mouth to give specific instructions:
"They're just kids after all......"
Lilith puffed out her face and almost couldn't help but snort, but Aleka had a twinkle in her eyes.
"So don't let them go."
Hearing Ember say the next sentence with a calm expression, the corners of Lilith's mouth rose slightly, and she said with a smile:
"Now I know what to do."
Aleka's expression turned pale, but the silver-haired young girl beside her looked extremely calm, as if she didn't care about everything that was going to happen, which was completely different from the weakness and helplessness she had shown at first.
——
"Her name is Kalula."
'Justice' Audrey said softly:
"She calls herself the Fallen of Darkness, and she is also a member of the Psychological Alchemy Council's jury, codenamed 'Lust'."
Klein's expression was subtle, if the three words of Kalulah only made him guess, then the 'Dark Fallen' is a real hammer, after all, there is no such thing as a 'Dark Fall' in this world......
And it is true that the other members of the Tarot Society did not know the words 'Dark Fallen', but they had their own reactions when they heard the words of the members of the Psychological Alchemy Council.
A Sage above Sequence 4 is an absolute high level in any organization. As for the angels, they were already the strongest under the gods, and in ancient times they could even be called subordinate gods, and there was no comparison at all.
It's just that, after all, the Psychological Alchemy Society is a nascent organization that has only appeared in the last one or two hundred years, does this mean that this demigod has also been born in the last one or two hundred years?
Perhaps sensing other people's thoughts, Audrey took the initiative to explain:
"The members of the Psychological Alchemy Council's jury are all codenamed by the Seven Deadly Sins, for example, Herwin Lambis, the former royal advisor of the Kingdom of Rune, whose code name is 'Arrogance'. In other words, the Psychological Alchemy Society may have a total of seven Sage-level members......"
Of course, this is before.
There are probably only three Sages left in the Psychological Alchemy Society now.
Audrey silently added in her heart.
“……”
Gadelia was silent, judging from the reactions of the other members of the Tarot Society, most of them had reached the level of the middle sequence, but they were far from the level of the high sequence. But why do they talk about things that are either saints or angels?
You must know that even if they are the rulers of the sea, the four pirate kings are only at the level of sages. And even if a few pirate generals meet, they won't discuss their existence at every turn......
Most of the members of the Tarot Society fell into different degrees of deep thought, but 'Moon' Emlin didn't care about it, and seemed to suppress his voice, but in fact he couldn't hide his excitement:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', I'm ready, when will you get the inheritance of the Blood Baron? The last time you mentioned it, it was in the hands of a great pirate? ”
You don't have to add the last sentence...... Alger's body froze suddenly.
The eyes of the great pirate ...... 'Hermit' Gardelia swept over the 'Hanged Man' again, and she had already vaguely guessed the identity of the other party.
Alger's expression remained unchanged, and he turned his head sideways in response to 'Moon':
"Did you get the cash?"
"Of course!" Emlyn said with his neck held high.
As a 'reward' for him to risk his life to join the Tarot Society, the Duke of Nibes gave him an acceptance bill of 7,000 pounds, which gave him enough confidence to buy the inheritance of the Blood Baron!
Alger said lightly:
"I'll get it for you this week, and finally, let's confirm the price again, 4,500 pounds, no problem?"
"Okay, is it cheaper?"
Under Emling's eyes wandering, the two quickly finalized the details of the deal, and closed it for £4,300 and a commission of £300 - Emlyn demanded that Alger must sacrifice to the Fool as soon as he received the inheritance of the Blood Baron.
Alger, who made a net profit of 1,400 pounds, naturally agreed without hesitation.
"It should be a vampire who has just come of age......"
'Hermit'" Gardelia watched silently, while making a judgment in her heart.
It is not surprising that the other mentioned 'sacrifice'.
When there is a true deity present and witnesses the meeting, offering and giving is the most convenient and safest way to transact...... The exchange of knowledge can be directly solved by the exchange of knowledge at the level of the spirit and body.
The 'hanged man' looked around and said slowly:
"Who of you knows where the wild Obnis?"
When he asked this question, his gaze fell on the 'hermit', consciously or unconsciously.
The characteristics of the other party are quite obvious, and the identity is not difficult to guess, most likely it is the 'star general' Gadelia. The main scope of activity of the other members of the Tarot Society was on the North Continent, and their combined knowledge of the sea was not as good as Alger's, so he had not raised this need before.
And now, the addition of the 'Hermit' has given him hope - the answer to this question is the only one that the 'Hermit', who is a pirate general, is most likely to know.
"He's preparing for the promotion to Sequence 5?"
'Hermit' Gardelia immediately associated:
The other party should be the Wind Bearer of Sequence 6 of the 'Sailor', and has already obtained the potion recipe of the Sea Singer, so you need to find Obnis to prepare for the promotion ceremony!
An ancient sea monster that can directly devour a sailboat, Obnis is the protagonist of many legends at sea with its massive, twisted body, up to three heads, and entwined tentacles.
The 'Hermit' was silent for a while, but finally decided to get involved, and spoke:
"Most of these sea monsters have been tamed by the Church of the Storm, and most of them are concentrated around the island of Passu."
"I know."
The Hanged Man said calmly, "That's why I need to look for the wild Obnis. ”
The 'Hermit' glanced at the 'Hanging Man' deeply, the other party is most likely a member of the Storm Church, but the other party's potion recipe may not come from the Storm Church, and even the promotion has to be hidden from the Storm Church. There is no doubt that the other side has a big secret......
The Hermit pondered for two seconds, then continued:
"The 'Deep Admiral' has an Obnis in his hand, and I can try to make contact with him. Of course, the price may not be low. ”
"No problem." The 'Hanged Man' replied without hesitation.
Thanks to the income from being a 'second-hand dealer' during this time, he has saved a lot of money in his hands and can pay enough for it.
"It's a bit deserted...... Klein sighed, the need for 'material' among the Tarot members is extremely low at this stage.
For example, Miss 'Justice' has extraordinary traits that can be promoted all the way to Sequence 4, and Miss 'Magician', who is backed by the Abraham family, also has no shortage of extraordinary traits and potion recipes.
The situation of the others is very similar, most of them have already obtained the potion recipes they need from Ember and are preparing for promotion. As a result, the Tarot Society is now more about intelligence exchanges, and less about material and monetary transactions-
Except, of course, 'justice'.
Up to now, Miss Justice's promise of a million gold pounds had not been spent even a tenth of it.
Klein couldn't help but show a subtle and complicated look, a million gold pounds!
How many pirates do you have to kill to earn this?
