After hearing Old Man's words, Leonard immediately relaxed.
He turned his attention back to the angel-level battle that happened in the afternoon and asked curiously,
"Which pathway's angel does that gigantic snake phantom belong to?"
Pallez Zoroast fell silent for a moment before sighing.
"Snake of Fate, the chairman of the Life School of Thought, a Sequence 1 angel.
"I never expected 'He' to join them …"
Chairman of the Life School of Thought? "He" has also become Mr. Fool's Blessed? The corresponding tarot card is the Wheel of Fortune? Leonard's eyes widened slightly as he increasingly felt that Mr. Fool's influence was comparable to the seven orthodox Churches. It was unfathomable.
Death Consul … Snake of Fate … Incomplete Messenger … Under Mr. Fool, there are already three angels that have appeared … It's no wonder Klein was able to become a demigod so quickly … It hasn't been long, but I've already been embroiled in a battle at the angel level. It's unimaginable what will happen in the future … Leonard held the letter and sat on the sofa. He felt a sense of urgency to digest the Soul Assurer potion and advance to Spirit Warlock.
He had been busy placating the souls in the Baekeland area, but due to the large number of missions, he was still a long way from completing them. He couldn't find the opportunity or excuse to head to Tingen City to steal the power of the Eternal Blazing Sun's blood. And the arrival of Amon's avatar was much faster than he had expected.
…
South of the Bridge, Rose Street, Harvest Church.
Emlyn White, who had changed into a brown priest robe, stood beside a long table with candlesticks. He looked at Ernes Boar, who was working hard to wipe the altar. He raised his right hand and casually pointed.
"The side, the left side. It wasn't wiped clean."
Ernes Boar, who was also dressed in Earth Mother's clergyman robes, glared at Emlyn angrily, but he still obeyed the instructions and wiped the area that had been a little perfunctory.
"I know you're very angry, just like how I was when I learned that you sold me the castle's information but deliberately hid the key information." Leonard did not care about her gaze at all. He smiled and said, "Also, I forgot to tell you something. I'm a viscount now. It happened last week."
A Sanguine Viscount corresponded to a Sequence 5 Scarlet Scholar of the Moon pathway. One of the conditions for the advancement ritual was to be under the illumination of the full moon. Apart from that, one also needed to gather metals, gems, and the blood of Beyonder creatures that represented the different states of the moon. It was rather complicated.
However, Emlyn had long obtained the promise that the upper echelons of the Sanguine would hold a free ritual for him. Once the full moon arrived, he successfully completed his advancement.
As for the digestion of Potions Professor, he felt that he had succeeded without putting much effort into it. This was because he often taught about herbology at the Harvest Church to commoners who were willing to learn. He even had potion combinations with special uses. And other than collecting marionettes, researching history, and doing volunteer work at the Church, he also enjoyed pondering over all sorts of potions so that they could be used in different combat situations.
"… You're a viscount?" Ernes Boyar suddenly straightened his body as he wore a look of astonishment.
Within the Sanguine, as they were all long-lived species, they had quite a sizable population. The number of Beyonder characteristics they had was limited, so it could be said that it was very difficult to advance one's title. One needed to wait in line for it to happen, and Emlyn White had only been a baron for about half a year!
Ernes remembered that he had used a total of sixty years to go from baron to viscount. This was because his father had been attacked by artificial vampires and had died prematurely, leaving behind an inheritance.
"Of course." The smile on Emlyn's face became more obvious, but he maintained his composure. "I obtained a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic from an artificial vampire."
Ernes Boyar looked at Emlyn, momentarily at a loss for words. It was as though he had suffered a heavier blow than becoming a volunteer at the Harvest Church.
"Your expression is very interesting." Emlyn tsked. "Perhaps one day, you will have to address me as Earl."
"Arrogant! Arrogant! "Ernes blurted out.
I'm already being very humble. I didn't say that I want to become a duke or even a prince … Without reaching the level of an angel, how can I become the savior of the Sanguine? Besides, in our Tarot, Mr. World has already advanced to the demigod realm. Ma 'am Hermit will soon be one. This will definitely be a gathering of demigods in the future … Emlyn smiled and didn't argue with Ernes like he usually did. He took on a stance as though Ernes's words weren't worth rebutting.
Of course, he also understood that the Sanguine's racial advantage no longer existed after the Scarlet Scholar stage. The difficulty of becoming an Earl wasn't any lower than an artificial vampire advancing to Shaman King.
The digestion of the Scarlet Scholar potion is rather simple. All I need to do is devoutly like the moon, worship the moon, and study the moon. This is what most Sanguine usually do … However, the corresponding ritual is in the hands of the demigods. Without their permission, even if I obtain the Shaman King Beyonder characteristic from Sun, I won't be able to become an Earl … Although Emlyn was arrogant, he knew very well what the path ahead was.
The core powers of a Scarlet Scholar had two points. First, it was to create an environment that was beneficial to oneself. When the enemy wasn't good at spirituality or things related to the spirit world, one could create the effect of a "full moon." On the other hand, one could hide the moon in that region. Second, one could obtain the ability to teleport and appear within a certain range of the moonlight. Even if one were to be shattered, one could reform in the moonlight.
And the strength of these powers depended on the Scarlet Scholar's understanding and research of the Moon domain.
As for the strengthening of darkness-type spells, the enhancement of the potion's effects, and the increase of resistance to Nightmare-type influences, they were all supplementary.
Ernes was infuriated by Emlyn's attitude. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw the mountain-like half-giant Bishop Utravsky walk out from the back of the cathedral.
He hurriedly bent down, lowered his head, and continued cleaning the altar.
Emlyn White also picked up a rag and candlestick, wiping the surface in a well-practiced manner.
In the quiet atmosphere, he thought of something. If he were to leave the Harvest Church now, would the upper echelons of the Sanguine force him to hand over the mystical items or Beyonder items he had obtained from Ernes?
This … If they were to mention it, I really wouldn't be able to reject them. This is because some of the items don't belong to Ernes … Emlyn thought seriously for a moment and decided to return to his room and set up a ritual. He would sacrifice the spoils of war he obtained to Mr. Fool. When the time came, he would split it with The Star, Justice, and the other members.
Uh, the Oath of Rose ring doesn't need to be sacrificed. This is only one of them. Whoever obtains it will be discovered and confirmed by the owner of the other ring … I'll just treat it as my spoils of war. I'll hand it over to Marquis Nibbs tonight. I should be able to exchange it for a reward … I won't participate in the distribution of the rest … Emlyn quickly came up with a more concrete plan.
As for whether the upper echelons of the Sanguine would bear a grudge against him because of this, he wasn't too worried. This was because when he handed over the Oath of Rose ring, he would also mention that he had sought cooperation from an important member of the Rose School temperance faction.
This matter had happened last week. Back then, Emlyn had wanted to inform the upper echelons of the Sanguine, but who knew that during the subsequent gathering, The Hanging Man would suggest that he wait until the punishment operation was over before doing so. It was to showcase his importance and resolve the hidden anger and resentment.
Hit me with a stick and give me a carrot? At that moment, Emlyn suddenly had a deeper understanding of this suggestion.
…
160 Böklund Street. Inside Dawn Dantès's bedroom.
Their spoils of war this time aren't bad. A diamond brooch that can raise one's stamina, maintain lucidity, and resist the influence of one's mind. A Substitution Paper Figurine that can guard against lethal damage and psychic piercing. A belt that can reduce the damage of Sun and Lightning. A wallet that contains more than 300 pounds in cash … Klein, who had just returned to the real World after receiving the sacrifice, sighed silently. He sat in front of his desk and took out a transparent worm.
The moment he saw the worm, he felt a headache as he recalled the pain of his Soul Body being torn apart.
This was a Worm of Spirit that he had split from himself. It was used to create a reward for Snake of Fate, Will Auceptin.
As for how to replicate the item that could temporarily restore Will's strength, he already had an idea. It was to use the Worm of Spirit as a medium and use the complete symbol he had previously copied to trigger a response from the mysterious space above the gray fog.
With regards to this, the outcome of his divination was that things would go smoothly.
That item's essence is actually one of the powers of a Sequence 3 Scholar of Yore of the Seer pathway. From history, from my past self, I can temporarily borrow a portion of power … If I respond as The Fool, there definitely won't be any problems …
The only problem is that the corresponding symbol is three-dimensional, mysterious, complicated, and dangerous. It can't be directly engraved on various metal sheets … According to Will Auceptin, I have to use Cogitation to drive my spirituality and directly outline it on the Worm of Spirit …
If it succeeds, I'll also make one for myself. I'll see what my past self was like and see if I can trace it back to when Klein Moretti was young or the cocoon hanging above the door of light … If it's the latter, it's best if I can determine how many years I've been hanging there … Klein entered a Cogitation state in thought. Then, he constantly outlined the symbol in his mind to guide his spirituality to reproduce the process outside and seep into the Worm of Spirit.
This was a complicated and difficult task. If he wasn't careful, he would fail.
Invisible symbols landed on the Worm of Spirit. Suddenly, Klein's body trembled slightly as the Worm of Spirit ignited and turned to ashes.
Looking at his empty palm, Klein felt a headache. After a long period of silence, he muttered to himself,
"Life sure is difficult …"
