Chapter 9: I am the king of the world
【Please wake up to the phase as soon as possible】
The new pop-up prompt was like a fly swatter, crackling at Yu Lian's face.
To be reasonable, it's not that he doesn't want to.
But awakening to the nature of this kind of thing, like falling in love, is about fate!
In the simplest terms, this kind of thing can be explained: after an ordinary person awakens his aspect, he can sense and use magic energy through rituals, greetings, incantations and other specific ways, so this ordinary person can be honored as a mysticist.
There are seven phases.
The light that symbolizes reason and knowledge, the furnace that symbolizes fusion and innovation, the blade that symbolizes battle and violence, the winter that symbolizes silence and death, the tree that symbolizes life and vitality, the cup that symbolizes food and lust, and the mask that symbolizes wildness and transformation.
Different phases are proficient in different abilities.
For example, the people who awaken the nature of light are all knowledgeable and wise men.
Those who awaken the Furnace Phase are proficient in physical chemistry and are suitable to be alchemists, and are an important force for the advancement of science and technology.
Blade and Winter are both combat-oriented, with the former excelling at extreme single attacks and the latter mastering large-area indiscriminate killing.
The people of the Awakening Tree are gentle, and each one of them is an excellent potions master.
The talent of the Cup's physiognomy is a psychic attack type of spell, and the occultists of this path are either greedy to the extreme, or they are sluts from head to toe.
Most of the masquerade paths are suitable for disguise fraud, and the talent for running away is also very high, and no one knows if there is a masquerade mixed in one of the above six paths.
Although the abilities of each aspect are very different, each one represents a path to godhood.
Phase nature cannot awaken on its own, and a ritual of insight must be performed.
The steps of the insight ritual are cumbersome, and the materials are extremely scarce and expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot complete them.
There are two paths for ordinary people to take if they want to awaken to their physiognomy - join the Holy See or be admitted to an occult academy.
Joining the Holy See is no different from throwing yourself into the fire.
The probability of awakening is extremely low, but the Holy See doesn't care about this, and as many people come to accept it. But the Holy See is not a charity, and everyone who wants to see the ceremony for free must first sign a deed of sale.
Whether you succeed or not, you will be a dog of the Holy See for at least most of your life for the rest of your life.
Yu Lian chose the second path.
Getting into the Academy of Occultism is easy, as long as you have a genius brain.
However, although you don't have to sell yourself to take the entrance examination, you have to pay for the cost of the insight ceremony.
The cost of labour and materials for hiring a respected professor is very expensive, and even if the college offers a discount to its students, it will cost at least £100.
The high cost of trial and error, coupled with the probability of one in ten thousand, doomed the occultist to be a small group of noble and rare people.
College students in the College of Occultism generally have two kinds of lives.
Awaken and be a noble occultist.
If you don't wake up, become a theorist of occultism.
Don't look at the titles, it's a good mix compared to ordinary people, but what is the actual social status of the two...... Oh, after all, this is an extraordinary world, and the difference between an extraordinary person and an ordinary person is the difference between a giant and an ant.
"Alas~"
"Now that I have money, the rest is up to me......"
Yu Lian sighed with emotion, shook his head to dispel his chaotic thoughts, and looked at the six blank squares under the cards.
[Please bind a servant as soon as possible]
【? 】
The question mark is a hint, and the subtitle pops up after clicking on it.
You can have six close servants, they are your sacrifices, your possessions. 】
[They spread your faith and create a congregation loyal to you; Their power is at your disposal to help you achieve great things; You have given them shelter and given them eternal life]
[Item obtained: Servant Contract (6 copies)]
[Item Obtained: Immortal Contract (36 copies)]
Yu Lian was speechless for a while.
He had a bad premonition.
Sacrifices, possessions, spreading the faith, etc., are not good things when you hear about them.
It can't be some kind of cult, right?
Yu Lian, sitting on the throne, looked at the six empty chairs below, imagining himself as the head of the cult and then being caught by the Holy See and tied to the cross and burned to death...... Terrible, terrible!
Although Yu Lian is not religious, he has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Holy See.
Although theocracy did not control all of Europe as much as it did in its heyday, it is not an exaggeration to say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If there is a blatant challenge to religious beliefs, then Protestantism and Roman Orthodoxy may be able to put aside their controversy and work together against the infidels.
Although the believers of God have not been able to hold even Constantinople, do not doubt their ability to catch the demons within.
Don't be reckless, think long-term!
Yu Lian's attention continued to wander the sand table.
The little map on the right, when I clicked on it, was a map shrouded in fog.
That's right, he's still in the early stages of the game, and the map can't be lit until it's explored.
"Explore the map first, and then we'll get more rewards."
"I have the money now, but I don't dare to spend it indiscriminately, and the violin still has to continue to play. Insight into the ritual, let it go first, and wait for the limelight to pass before getting ...... Also, how do you ......get this servant?"
Yu Lian re-found the Servant contract and looked at the introduction.
[Servant Contract: You can absorb creatures close to you as Servants]
[The Servant is a high-ranking creature that belongs directly to you.] 】
[The knowledge and skills obtained from all behaviors such as practice, study, and training will increase the level of your corresponding knowledge or skills in proportion to the current level of intimacy.] 】
Each of your Servants can have six Immortals. 】
The Immortal is both the servant of the Servant and your servant. 】
[The Immortal can also convey experience to you, and the rules are the same as those of the Servant.] 】
You can have up to thirty-six Immortals.
After browsing through it, Yu Lian came to a preliminary conclusion: he can have up to 42 experience packs.
It feels good.
So, get one to play with?
Only close people can sign a servant contract, so to speak......
In Yu Lian's mind, a beautiful girl with orange hair came to mind.
Then, on the marble tabletop, an information panel with an avatar emerges.
【Sonnet Capet】
[Race: Human]
【Phase: Casting furnace】
[Class: Forge Path: First Order-Craftsman]
[Intimacy with you: 8/10]
[Can be absorbed as a servant]
Hey?
The little businessman has awakened to his nature!
Looking at the beautiful girl on the panel, Yu Lian was both a little surprised, but also felt reasonable.
She is a real aristocratic lady.
intelligent, lovable, humble, elegant; It's Yu Lian's childhood sweetheart.
A descendant of the old French king Capet's family, she was six years old when she was on her way to escape the heat at the mouth of the Seine in the summer when she met a scheming small-town boy.
The beginning of many romance stories is often about who looks at whom in the crowd.
For sonnets, romance is: when she was six years old, she glanced at Yu Lian, and after the age of six, she only had Yu Lian in her eyes.
[Do you sign a servant contract?] 】
【Signed】
"Alas......"
Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh.
He came to London this time secretly.
And did not say with the sonnets.
Now seeing the avatar on the panel, he feels very affectionate and wants to see her now.
※
Paris, France.
In the gorgeously lit Duke's Palace, the orange-haired girl who had just finished taking a bath was lying listlessly on the bed in a daze.
I can't see Yu Lian on the 82nd day, and I miss him.
Different from the elegance and touching in the school during the day, now she has lost all her vitality, like a doll that has been drawn, and like a cat abandoned in the alley, pitiful.
The starry sky outside the window was bright, and the girl couldn't sleep.
The wind gently blew her face, she pursed her lips aggrievedly, and muttered in a low voice: "Grandpa must have said something ugly to Yu Lian that hurt his self-esteem, so he ran away without saying a word...... Whew, where are you, why don't you write to me......"
As soon as the words fell, a red light suddenly bloomed in the room.
Eyes and thoughts blurred for a while, and after a moment of dizziness, the sonnet came back to its senses.
Frightened and confused, she looked vigilantly left and right, but at a glance she saw the lonely young man on the throne in front of her with his head tilted and looking up at the starry sky.
The girl's eyes widened slightly, this was the subconscious action of a beautiful thing breaking into her field of vision, and her small hand that grabbed the hem of her clothes out of anxiety inadvertently let go.
"Thirty years east of the Thames, thirty years west of the Thames! Wait for me, old thief Capet, one day I'm going to pull out all your beard and snatch your little granddaughter home! Didn't you let me get near her, I did! Not only do I have to get closer, I have to hug her, I have to lift her high, I want her to call me daddy...... Listen, old thief Capet: I am the king of the world!"
In the eyes of the sonnet, the world is strange, and Yu Lianke is cute and lovely.
But isn't it wrong for you to ask me to call you Daddy?
Do you have a crush on my mother?
The sonnet wanted to scold him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a crisp and pleasant laugh like a lark came out.
"Haha~"
Well?
Yu Lian on the throne, his eyes froze.
"It's been a long time, I didn't expect you to ...... Poof, very good, very energetic! Is Julien trying to become the king of the world? It's so cute. I can't help but hear you say that......"
The beautiful girl with long orange hair winked at him very playfully, and then imitated his demeanor and shouted in a very romantic French accent: "I am the king of the world-"
“……”
Yu Lian's brain exploded on the spot.
He's gone.
He ascended to heaven on the spot.
He no longer has any nostalgia for this prosperous world.
