In the hearts of all the Sanguine present, even if Emlyn wasn't the weirdest of their kind, he was definitely ranked in the top ten.
As a member of a race that had a long lifespan from birth, it was rather common for them to have one or more hobbies to pass their time. Emlyn wasn't the only one who liked dolls, but the problem was that apart from buying dolls to match with new clothes and going to the hospital to get blood to drink, he rarely went out. He didn't like interacting with his own kind either. Unless he had a thirst for relatively fresh blood or needed to learn about history or exchange for the corresponding materials, he basically wouldn't participate in the corresponding gatherings.
Such a lifestyle was almost the same as the few high-ranking figures who were extremely old and had to lie in special coffins to barely survive. It was impossible to tell that he was a fellow who had just come of age. Emlyn naturally became a topic of conversation at other Sanguine gatherings.
All these years ago, everyone had only casually mentioned him and teased him in private, just like how they discussed the various oddities in Baekeland. When it was said that Emlyn had walked into the Harvest Church on his own because he was "lost," he was captured by a bishop of Earth Mother and locked in an underground chamber. His image began to slide towards the shame of the Sanguine and the main character of all kinds of jokes. It was irreversible.
But it was this fellow who had embarrassed his race that had hunted three Primordial Moon believers in a row!
They were all artificial vampires!
Could it be that he had hired the help of a clergyman from the Church of Earth Mother? Or did he hire an especially powerful bounty hunter? Thoughts flashed through the minds of different Sanguine as they guessed what method Emlyn had used to win the competition.
At this moment, Cosmi coughed lightly.
"Emlyn has found the corresponding characteristic heritage and has become a Baron."
Baron … When the Sanguine looked at Emlyn again, they were no longer as confused or doubtful. Instead, their eyes were filled with shock, surprise, and astonishment.
This was the first time in Emlyn's life that he was being stared at by his fellow clansmen. He suddenly felt his body turn light as his mind was filled with joy. This made him want to proudly raise his chin and say, "You should call me Lord Baron."
This sense of satisfaction is the same as when I finally bought the doll I yearn for after saving up for a long time … Emlyn silently marveled as he held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. With a faint smile, he slowly surveyed the area before buttoning his coat and getting up to walk to Cosmi Odora's side.
After the other Sanguine snapped to their senses, they looked at the two barons with complicated gazes.
"The winner of this hunting competition will directly enter the Viscount's candidate list and receive free ritual help.
"In addition, he will also receive a ring made by the Primogenitor."
As he spoke, Cosmi took out a silver jewelry box engraved with complicated patterns from his pocket. He opened it and showed it to all the Sanguine present.
It was a translucent ring that seemed to be made of light red amber. There was a blood-colored gem that was half the size of a fingernail inlaid at the top of the ring, emitting a faint light.
"It's called Lilith's Ring. It can make the wearer more charming, allowing them to always be in a good state under the full moon," Cosmi roughly introduced. "It can also make the surroundings appear like a full moon, greatly enhancing the corresponding Beyonder powers. At the same time, it can project a door that leads deep into the spirit world."
Cosmi paused and added, "This door is the Door of Summoning.
It can allow creatures deep in the spirit world to use it to come to the real World. However, there's only one chance for a certain period of time.
"When a spirit world creature passes through this door, it's equivalent to signing a corresponding agreement with the wearer. It can serve the wearer for a certain period of time, which is about five minutes. If it needs to be maintained for longer, the wearer has to personally communicate with the spirit world creature and sign a contract with a longer duration.
"Under normal circumstances, the strength of the summoned spirit world creature is equivalent to or slightly stronger than the wearer, but there's also the possibility of it being weaker or stronger. There was once a Viscount who relied on this ring to summon a demigod-level spirit world creature.
"The stronger the spirit world creature is, the more it can go against the Door of Summoning's agreement and harm the wearer. If you encounter such a situation, you must resolutely remove the projection and stop the summoning.
"Its negative effect is' Blood Thirst '. It needs to drink at least one bottle of human blood every hour. Otherwise, its blood will boil and evaporate. In less than 15 minutes, it will kill a baron."
I don't reject this. On the contrary, I often desire to drink blood, but the problem is that I don't have that much blood … Emlyn controlled his joy and excitement as he thought of a way to resolve the negative effects.
At this moment, Cosmi turned his head to glance at him.
"Additional blood requirements will be provided by the tribe."
Then, the problem becomes how to modify the bottle and how to carry so much blood … Emlyn swept his gaze at the envious and jealous Sanguine and took the initiative to ask.
"If I don't wear it, will I suffer from thirst?"
"No." Cosmi shook his head firmly.
Emlyn stared at Lilith's Ring and asked again,
"If I wear it for 59 minutes and then take it off, will I get thirst?"
Cosmi's facial muscles twitched as he said, "When you wear the ring, you will suffer from thirst.
"When you put on the ring, you'll be suffering from the Blood Thirst Syndrome. You'll have to drink a bottle of human blood to calm it down for an hour. During this process, if you take the ring off and put it on again, the Blood Thirst Syndrome will be reactivated. No matter if it's been an hour or not, you'll have to drink blood again.
"Of course, this isn't a complicated problem." Emlyn tsked.
Cosmi retracted his gaze and looked at the other Sanguine.
"I'll be awarding this ring to the winner of this hunting competition, Emlyn White."
"Congratulations, Emlyn." He turned and extended his right hand to Emlyn, gently shaking his hand.
Then, he handed the blood-colored Lilith's Ring to Emlyn.
"Thank you," Emlyn said with a reserved smile.
Cosmi didn't look at him again as he said to the other Sanguine, "There are still two targets left.
"There are two more targets left. These are the prey that belongs to you. You will also be rewarded.
…
Ten at night, above the gray fog.
Klein received Leymano's Travels, which Emlyn had sacrificed, and he learned of the so-called Lilith's Ring.
There aren't any other problems. What's most worth paying attention to is the Door of Summoning that leads deep into the spirit world … Perhaps one day, the ancient goddess, Lilith, will come out through that door … Of course, there are many prerequisites … As Klein made a bold guess, he flipped open Leymano's Travels to see what Beyonder powers Emlyn had used and which ones he had supplemented.
I've used all of Lightning Strike, and there's no more Traveling … This fellow really doesn't feel the pinch from using the powers of others …
I've added a Wings of Darkness. This can increase the user's speed and give them the ability to fly for a short period of time. It can also transform into a bunch of illusory vampire bats to attack enemies …
The first is Full Moon. It can make an area within a certain range appear in a full moon state. Spirituality will flourish, and death will become stronger … This is recorded from Lilith's Ring …
The second is Claw of Corrosion. It can make one's fingernails grow an additional segment with mysterious symbols and patterns. It's sharp enough to slice through steel, and it comes with powerful corrosive powers. It's the nemesis of defensive methods such as scales and skin …
The first is Animal Senses. It can communicate with animals, drive animals, and share their senses … If this is used well, it'll have miraculous effects … Heh, I've never seen Emlyn use it before. What a waste …
The second is Abyss Shackles. It's a spell-like power in the darkness domain. It can condense darkness or shadows into chains to restrict or control enemies …
There's no Door of Summoning … That's right. This should be very difficult to record. With Emlyn's character, he probably gave up after a few unsuccessful attempts … As Klein flipped through Leymano's Travels, he used divination and mysticism knowledge to interpret the effects of the new Beyonder power.
Retracting his gaze, he beckoned for the Sea God Scepter to fly over and added a few Lightning Strikes to the notebook. This was due to his phobia of lacking firepower.
Then, with the help of the Sun Brooch, Klein recorded Holy Light Summoning and Creation of Divine Water, allowing Leymano's Travels' Beyonder powers to become more varied.
After doing all of this, he closed the notebook and picked up the Mental Terror Candle.
After finishing off his alternate persona in the afternoon, he didn't immediately return the mystical item. Instead, he believed that since it belonged to the Spectator domain, it might be able to help him explore the sea of collective subconscious in Rosell's Travels. Therefore, he planned on giving it to Emlyn after the deadline of half a day.
To his surprise, he discovered through his research that the Mental Terror Candle didn't have the effects of calming one's mind or eliminating negative emotions. It could only allow one to enter deep into the target's mind and plant cues or resolve problems.
Phew … Klein exhaled. Through the bestowment ritual, he returned the Mental Terror Candle and Leymano's Travels to Emlyn and Fors respectively.
After returning to the real World, he took a comfortable bath and read the newspapers and magazines before going to bed.
In a daze, Klein suddenly woke up, knowing that someone had entered his dream.
He saw the scene in front of him change. The sky was dark and deep, dotted with resplendent diamonds. It made him feel reverence and peace from the bottom of his heart.
From afar, he could hear the chanting of poems. It was ethereal and orderly, reaching straight into his heart.
At the same time, the clouds moved as the crimson moon appeared, scattering its gentle light.
All of this made Klein feel as though he had arrived in the divine kingdom of the Evernight Goddess. He felt relaxed and extremely comfortable in his dream.
This is … Klein suddenly understood the situation.
This was the Beyonder of the Church of Evernight who had come in the middle of the night. They were using a dream to placate the tycoon, Dawn Dantès, so as to treat the psychological trauma he had suffered in the afternoon.
I can't sleep well if you do this! Klein sighed in exasperation.
