Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 225 Weak, pitiful and helpless
In theory, the promotion of Beyonders can only start from Sequence 9, and move towards higher sequences step by step. Only when the potion of the current sequence is digested can they be considered for promotion. The reason for doing this is actually to minimize the risk of loss of control.

Including the concoction of extraordinary properties into potions and the existence of promotion rituals, it is also to further reduce the risk of loss of control.

Just like building a house, you must first lay a solid foundation before you can build a tall building on it. If there is no foundation, a tall building will fall directly down and will only smash the ground to pieces.

However, in the 'germination era' before the Blasphemy Slate was born, loss of control and madness were the main themes. After all, the extraordinary creatures of this era had no idea what a path or sequence was, and it was common for low-sequence extraordinary creatures to swallow mid-sequence or even high-sequence extraordinary characteristics.

Although the end of these extraordinary creatures is often loss of control or even death due to their bodies exploding due to being unable to withstand the huge amount of energy, there are always some exceptions that survive - the ancestors of various extraordinary races are most likely derived from this.

Although these creatures will inevitably fall into madness even if they survive by chance, they can gradually regain sanity over time as long as they give birth to enough offspring.

Yu Jin is about to do something similar. He wants Ornia, an ordinary person, to directly absorb the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7.

Usually, there are only two outcomes of doing this:

Either their sanity is devoured by madness, and they are transformed into hideous and twisted monsters, or their bodies are blown up by the enormous energy, leaving nothing behind.

And the Ember chooses the third path:
He wanted Ornia to become a Sequence 7 Beyonder while retaining her sanity.

And it is not difficult to do this, you just need to add a little fire.

Under the expectant and fearful gaze of the little girl with silver hair and red eyes, Yu Jin slowly took out the Yurshika Holy Bell, which looked as luxurious as a pagoda.

Jingle bell bell~!

With the sound of clear bells, a golden magic circle emerged from under the embers, slowly spreading to the surroundings with warm light.

【Farewell tears】

Archbishop Karim's Apostle
The miracle taught by Morn.

When your health reaches 0, you can escape death just this once.

This is to give dying people
A miracle that was born with enough time to say goodbye.

Tears are shed for the living, who need them far more than the dead. 】

Let's say goodbye first to make sure Ornia doesn't die.

Yu Jin suddenly looked up and out the window, and Lilith also looked over subconsciously, but there was nothing there.

Lilith was a little confused and was about to ask if there was anything wrong, but Yu Jin suddenly retracted his gaze and looked at Ornia, who was living with golden tears beside him. He held a blood-red heart that was beating strongly and said:

"Open your mouth."

The silver-haired, red-eyed little girl had a hint of confusion in her eyes, but she still obediently opened her mouth, revealing her pink and tender oral cavity.

Snapped!
Flames suddenly rose from Yu Jin's hand, enveloping the blood-red heart in his palm, burning it and melting it into a pool of bright red liquid. Before Ornia could react, the flames seemed to have their own ideas, carrying the bright red liquid inside into the little girl's mouth.

Olnia was shocked by the foreign object invading her mouth and closed her eyes in fear, but her body did not feel any discomfort. This was because the moment the bright red liquid entered her body, it turned into an invisible force and rushed to Olnia's limbs.

"Hmm~"

Ornia opened her eyes in a daze. She thought it would be painful, but now she only felt her body warm... She could easily feel the power surging in her body, and the frenzy in her bones, but this frenzy was firmly restrained by some force, making it as docile as a little lamb, and could only enter her body step by step at a set speed and frequency until her body could completely accept the injection of this power.

“It went even smoother than I thought.”

Yu Jin nodded slightly. Everything was just as he expected. Under the influence of the flame, the power of the Extraordinary Characteristics did not overflow at all. This transformation experiment was quite successful.

Olnia is now a vampire of Sequence 7 in the Pharmacist Pathway. If we use the classification standard of the blood race, she is now a standard adult blood race, although she is not yet an adult...

At this moment, Ornia suddenly closed her eyes again, and a large amount of mysterious knowledge corresponding to the sequence was poured into her mind along with the power. The swelling feeling in her head made her frown in pain.

But she quickly adapted to it. Compared with the loss of control over her extraordinary characteristics, the pain was nothing.

After doing all this, Yu Jin turned his gaze to Aleka and suddenly asked:
"Where are the others hidden?"

Aleka was relieved to see that Ornia was safe. But when she heard Yu Jin's question, she hesitated. She knew that Yu Jin was asking about the whereabouts of the other descendants of the Guardian, but they were just children after all...

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly, looking disdainful at Aleka's naivety:
"Even if they use Olnia as a sacrifice, you still want to protect them?"

"Ah, yes, they are just children after all. No matter how cruel the fight between adults is, children are innocent..."

Lilith sneered:
"What a naive idea! Have you forgotten that Olnia is just a child? When she was abandoned, did those people ever consider her? Or do you want to use Olnia's life to exchange for the lives of those children?"

"No, it's not..." Aleka's face was pale, but her defense sounded so weak...

Just as Lilith was putting pressure on Aleka step by step, a childish and clear voice suddenly rang in their ears:

"I know where they are hiding."

"Orniya..."

Aleka looked at Ornia in astonishment, somewhat unbelievable.

"Lilith."

Yu Jin took his eyes off Aleka and ordered:

"You and Ornia are going to look for someone. You know what to do, right?"

Lilith nodded seriously, and then said confidently:
"No."

Sister Dorothy likes to say this to her subordinates. She says, "You know what's going on," but even if the other party's behavior is in line with her wishes, she will often be blamed for it afterwards... I won't be fooled. Lilith snorted in her heart.

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, but still gave specific instructions:
"They are just children after all..."

Lilith puffed up her cheeks and almost couldn't help but let out a sigh, but there seemed to be a glimmer in Aleka's eyes.

“So don’t let them go.”

Hearing Yu Jin's calm expression saying the next sentence, Lilith's lips curled up slightly and she said with a smile:
"Now I know what to do." Aleka's expression turned pale, but the expression of the silver-haired girl next to her was extremely calm, as if she didn't care about what was going to happen, which was completely different from the weakness, pitifulness and helplessness she showed at the beginning.
-
"Her name is Carula."

Audrey said softly:
"She calls herself the Fallen of Darkness. She is also a member of the Psychological Alchemy Association's jury, codenamed 'Lust'."

Klein had a subtle expression. If the three words "Kalula" only made him guess, then "the Fallen Child of Darkness" was the real deal. After all, there was no such thing as "the Fallen Child of Darkness" in this world...

And the fact is indeed so. The other members of the Tarot Club did not understand what the words "Fallen Child of Darkness" meant, but they had different reactions when they heard the words "member of the Psychological Alchemy Society's panel".

A Saint above Sequence 4 is an absolute high-level figure in any organization. As for angels, they are already the strongest under the gods. In ancient times, they could even be called subordinate gods. There is no comparison at all.

However, the Psychological Alchemy Society is a new organization that has only appeared in the last one or two hundred years. Does this mean that this demigod was also born in the last one or two hundred years?
Perhaps sensing what others were thinking, Audrey took the initiative to explain:

"All the members of the Psychological Alchemy Council are codenamed after the seven deadly sins. For example, the codename of the former royal advisor of the Kingdom of Loen, Herwin Rambis, is 'Pride'. In other words, the Psychological Alchemy Council may have a total of seven saint-level members..."

Of course, this was before.

There are probably only three saints left in the Psychological Alchemy Society now.

Audrey added silently in her heart.

"..."

Cattleya remained silent. Judging from the reactions of the other members of the Tarot Club, most of them had reached the middle level, but were still far from the high level. But why was the focus of their discussions always on saints or angels?

You have to know that even the rulers of the sea, the four pirate kings, are only at the level of saints. And even when several pirate generals meet, they will not discuss those people...

Most members of the Tarot Club fell into varying degrees of deep thought, but Emlyn the Moon didn't care. He seemed to be suppressing his voice, but in fact he couldn't hide his excitement as he spoke:
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', I'm ready. When will you get the inheritance of the Blood Baron? You mentioned last time that it is in the hands of a big pirate?"

You don't need to add that last sentence... Alger's body suddenly froze.

The Great Pirate...'Hermit' Cattleya's eyes swept over the 'Hanged Man' again. She had already vaguely guessed his identity.

Alger's expression remained unchanged. He tilted his head and responded to the Moon:

“Did you get the cash?”

"Of course!" Emlyn said with his neck raised.

As a 'reward' for risking his life to join the Tarot Club, Duke Nibais gave him a bill of exchange for 7000 pounds, which gave him enough confidence to buy the blood baron's inheritance!

Alger said calmly:

"I will get it for you within this week. Finally, let's confirm the price. 4500 pounds, okay?"

"Can you make it cheaper?"

As Emlyn's eyes wandered as he bargained, the two quickly finalized the details of the deal and closed it at a price of 4300 pounds and a commission of 300 pounds. Emlyn required Alger to sacrifice himself to the Fool as soon as he received the blood baron's inheritance.

Alger, who had made a profit of 1400 pounds despite the pain, naturally agreed without hesitation.

"It should be a vampire who has just reached adulthood..."

‘The Hermit’” Cattleya watched silently, while making a judgment in her heart.

It's not surprising that the other party mentioned 'sacrifice'.

When there is a real god present and witnessing the gathering, sacrifice and bestowal are the most convenient and safest ways of transaction... and communication at the spiritual level can directly solve the exchange of knowledge.

The Hanged Man looked around and spoke slowly:

"Do any of you know where there are wild Obonis?"

When asking this question, his eyes fell on the 'Hermit' intentionally or unintentionally.

The other party's features were quite obvious, and his identity was not difficult to guess. It was most likely the "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya. The main activities of the other members of the Tarot Club were in the northern continent, and their understanding of the sea was not as good as Alger's, so he had never raised this demand before.

And now, the joining of the Hermit gave him hope - the answer to this question was most likely known by the Hermit, who was a pirate general.

"He is preparing for the ceremony to advance to Sequence 5?"

The Hermit Cattleya immediately had an association:
The other party should be a 'Sailor' who has passed through Sequence 6 of the Wind Blessed One, and has obtained the potion formula of the Sea Singer, so he needs to find Obnis to prepare for the promotion ceremony!
Obonis is an ancient sea monster that can swallow a sailing ship directly. It has a huge, twisted body, up to three heads and tangled tentacles. It is the protagonist of many maritime legends.

The Hermit was silent for a while, but finally decided to join in and said:

"Most of these sea monsters have been tamed by the Church of Storms, and most of them are concentrated near Pasu Island."

"I know."

The Hanged Man said calmly, "That's why I need to look for wild Obonis."

The Hermit took a deep look at the Hanged Man. He was most likely a member of the Church of Storms, but his potion formula might not have come from the Church of Storms, and he even had to keep his promotion a secret from the Church of Storms. There was no doubt that he had a big secret...

The Hermit pondered for two seconds, then continued:
"Vice Admiral Deep Sea has an Obonis in his hand. I can try to contact him. Of course, the price may not be low."

"No problem." The Hanged Man replied without hesitation.

Thanks to the income from being a middleman during this period, he has saved a lot of money and can pay enough.

"It's a bit deserted..." Klein sighed. At this stage, the Tarot Club members have very low demands for "material things".

For example, Miss Justice has a Beyonder that can advance all the way to Sequence 4, and Miss Magician, who has the support of the Abraham family, also has no shortage of Beyonders and potion formulas.

The situation of the others was similar. Most of them had already obtained the required potion formula from Yu Jin and were preparing for promotion. This led to the Tarot Club now exchanging more information, and less material and financial transactions.

Except, of course, 'justice'.

Up to now, not even one tenth of the one million pounds promised by Miss Justice has been spent.

Klein couldn't help but reveal a subtle and complicated expression. One million gold pounds!
How many pirates do I have to kill to earn that much?
