After confirming that Gounières had kept the Blood Touch.
Nigel slowly continued his narration.
"The third part of the reward, as I've told you before, is the Occult Rune."
"I originally thought that they might not give you the third part."
"They might even give you the second part of the reward, which is the Blood Touch."
"Obviously, I'm overthinking. The Blood Touch and the Occult Rune have both been approved by the council."
"You should know that there are only three places for the Occult Rune each year."
"Only Transcendents who have made great contributions are qualified to receive it."
"Even if you're a Transcendent Master, if you don't contribute enough, it'll be difficult for you to obtain the Occult Rune."
He had heard Senior Nigel talk about the importance of the Occult Rune twice.
Gounières was getting more and more curious about the Occult Rune.
What kind of powerful and strange rune could make Senior Nigel value it so much?
"Senior Nigel, what exactly is this Occult Rune?" Gounières asked in a deep voice.
"Occult Rune."
Nigel explained softly.
"It's a magical power used by an ancient underwater altar that sealed the dominator."
"The power to seal the dominator?"
Gounières's heart throbbed slightly.
Dominator, seal, ancient underwater altar.
These terms were intertwined, making Gounières's imagination run wild.
"No wonder Senior Nigel values the Occult Rune so much." Gounières had a slight understanding in his heart.
"The great power to seal the dominator, not to mention a million gold pounds, even ten million gold pounds can't buy it."
After pondering for a moment, Nigel continued to explain.
"The acquisition of the Occult Rune has always been very strict."
"First of all, you need to have a high enough talent in incantations."
"Otherwise, even if you obtain the method to condense the Occult Rune, you won't be able to condense the Occult Rune."
"You can instantly cast an Intermediate Incantation at the Second Order level, which means that you have a lot of Secret Crossing Runes. You've already met this requirement."
"Secondly, the Occult Rune requires a strong physical body. You can easily meet this requirement."
"Your physical body is the strongest among all the rank two Extraordinaires I've ever seen."
"That's why I strongly recommend you to condense this Occultic Rune."
"Fortunately, you've already obtained this qualification."
"As for the specific effects of this Occultic Rune, I was once told by a level-9 Spellcaster."
"It acts on source energy and will cause a qualitative change to it. Moreover, the more Occult Runes are condensed, the more terrifying the source energy will be."
"When you condense ten, or even twenty, it will cause some indescribable changes to your Origin Energy."
"An indescribable change has occurred." Gounières could not help but narrow his eyes.
Obviously, the Occult Rune was far more peculiar than he had expected.
"And it's a rune that works on Origin Energy? It doesn't work on spells? "
While thinking, Gounières quickly searched for the features of various' legendary runes' in his head.
He found that most of the runes worked on 'spells'.
For example, the Secret Crossing Rune allowed spells to be cast faster.
The Acceleration Rune also allowed spells to be cast faster.
The Amplification Rune increased the power of spells.
The Elemental Rune increased the sensitivity to the elements and so on.
There were almost no runes that worked on Origin Energy.
"A rune that works on Origin Energy. This Occultic Rune is very peculiar!" Gounières secretly exclaimed in his heart.
"Moreover, if there are enough of them, it can cause an indescribable change. This … is really exciting."
"As for the specific effects, you'll naturally know when you receive the relevant information about the Occultic Rune," Nigel explained softly.
As he spoke, Nigel took out a golden conch from his storage bracelet and placed it in front of Gounières.
"This golden conch is the proof of receiving the Occultic Rune."
"When you set foot on the ocean and hold this golden conch in your hand, you'll be able to feel a peculiar call."
"Follow the call to that place and blow the conch. Soon, someone will come to pick you up and take you to the place where you receive the inheritance of the Occultic Rune."
Taking the golden conch that was about the size of two fists, Gounières firmly memorized Nigel's words in his mind.
"This place of inheritance of the Occultic Rune obviously doesn't want too many people to know about it. That's why it's so secretive," Gounières thought to himself.
Immediately after, Gounières smiled softly.
"I originally wanted to go to the ocean and stock up on my primitive capital. I didn't expect this powerful Occultic Rune to be on the same path as me. This is really something to be happy about."
"These are all the rewards I'm giving you this time," Nigel said slowly.
"It's indeed a satisfactory reward." Gounières nodded slightly.
Apart from the fact that the hereditary count's territory was a bit of a scam.
The identity of a noble, the powerful artifacts, and the qualification to receive the inheritance of the Occultic Rune were all very satisfying to Gounières.
"Senior Nigel, can I have this map of yours?" Gounières said as he pointed at the palm-sized map on the ground.
Gounières could see that the map was very detailed. It even marked many important places in the ocean.
Compared to the crudely made maps on the market, the map in Nigel's hand was much more valuable.
"No problem, but you have to remember that this map is an official controlled item. Don't easily leak it out." Nigel nodded lightly.
"Don't worry, I'll keep this map safe." Gounières quickly put the map on the ground into his system space.
"That's all I have to say. Let's go back!" Nigel said as he was about to get up.
"Senior Nigel, there's another important thing I need to tell you."
Gounières suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Nigel looked over.
"What is it?"
"A million bounty," Gounières said in a rather serious tone.
"You're afraid that a Transcendent master will assassinate you?" Nigel asked softly.
"Yes." Gounières did not hide it at all.
Such an important matter was not something that could be solved by concealing it.
"You know the power of a Transcendent master better than I do. Although my strength is not bad, it's only limited to when I'm facing a mid-tier Transcendent. I might not even be able to defeat a powerful mid-tier Transcendent.
Not to mention a powerful high-tier Transcendent.
And a Transcendent master who might make a move at any time, or more than one Transcendent master, might be spying on me in the dark.
"Maybe one morning, I'll never wake up again."
So, I want to disappear for a while, "Gounières said.
"Disappear for a while?"
"Yes." Gounières nodded lightly.
