My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 30 Tide of Blood

As Jules returned to reality, his "Traveler" promotion ceremony can finally be said to have officially begun, or ended.

An inexplicable power surged through his body. It was not scary, but gave people a sense of mystery and strangeness.

A dim purple light enveloped the entire room, and the vague sound of turning pages echoed softly in the room, as if at this moment, someone was flipping through the manuscript, dipping a pen into ink, and deciding the history of Jules becoming an extraordinary person.

And his consciousness went through countless scenes in an instant.

He is like a true traveler, walking along the long river of history, witnessing everything——

Until the end is reached, the waves engulf all the images.

[The ceremony is over, the promotion is complete, and the ceremony card has been consumed]

[According to the "Traveler's" observations, gain the ability: Blood Tide]

Jules suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes seemed to have experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes, but also like a newborn child. After a moment, his originally calm expression finally settled on him.

"So... I'm a first-level 'Traveler' now?"

Jules quietly felt his newfound abilities.

He seemed to hear the sound of waves surging in his veins, and he seemed to be able to control them.

With a thought, the surging waves suddenly calmed down, and his breathing also became steady.

He stroked his arm and activated his ability again.

The originally calm waves receded into the sea, and his arms began to turn pale due to the loss of blood.

In fact, this seems to be only a relatively low-level usage. His control over blood can be even more sophisticated.

Jules rummaged through the bedside table for a while, found an object with a sharp edge, and used the edge to gently cut a small cut on his arm.

Blood oozed out drop by drop. He stared at the blood and shook his arm slightly.

The wound closed instantly, and the few drops of blood rolled down like beans.

But before rolling down, they quickly merged together, and then he swung them along, and they firmly pierced into the wall not far away like a flying knife!

"Interesting." A look of interest appeared in Yule's eyes.

It seems that the ability he gained is like blood magic - although it sounds a bit strange, the ability of a "traveler" is actually blood magic?

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal.

After all, this time he had met the legendary "Wave" of Si Chen, and its domain was inseparable from the cup. It was not surprising that the ritual completed through it awakened this kind of thing.

After testing it for a period of time, he gave this ability a high evaluation - it's quite practical!
Not only can it be used for offense, but he can also seamlessly switch between offense and defense. He can even use his ability to listen to the "sound of the tide" in the blood of people around him.

For example, at this moment, he could hear the sound of Lolita's blood rushing.

It can be said that within the range of his ability, all living things are invisible - unless they are dead people with no blood flowing.

"A tide of blood... a wave. Before your authority was usurped, was it water or blood that you used to create the huge waves?"

Jules looked up at the sky for a while and then sighed softly.

It seemed that he was involved in some secret affairs between Si Chen, and he might be torn to pieces if he was not careful.

Will he be afraid?

He has some extravagant ideas, such as living a good life with the people he cares about.

He won't be afraid.

……

The next day, early morning.

Jules sat at the breakfast table, staring quietly at the door of Lolita's room.

While preparing breakfast, he kept thinking about how he should treat Lolita from now on.

Lovers? He himself couldn't guarantee how deep his feelings for Ruth were.

But it's not like he didn't have any. Of course, he felt that he was not as perverted as Humbert, the hero in the original Lolita novel, who could do anything to a little girl - and the possibility of the one in front of him was even smaller.

Lolita inherited some of Ruth's memories and also inherited Ruth's clever and eccentric personality. In a sense, this is the young Ruth.

Although her essence has undergone earth-shaking changes, and seems to have been affected by the waves, she has been transformed from the original "Red Cup Bloodline" to the "Son of the Tide".

But that soul is essentially still the same her.

Under the power of the waves, Ruth was able to travel through history and be reborn in such a strange way, which made him marvel.

After thinking for a long time without coming up with an answer, Jules sighed and felt a little depressed.

For some reason, he always felt a tightness in his chest. He clearly didn't have much feelings for Ruth, but everything he had experienced not long ago hurt him deeply.

It hurt his heart, which he thought was extremely hard.

Suddenly, Lolita's timid voice sounded:

"...Uncle Yule, did you have a nightmare too? Why are you so unhappy?"

Jules was slightly stunned, then raised his head and looked at Lolita.

He stared at Lolita and felt that she was 30% similar to the Ruth in his memory, yet completely different.

"you……"

He gritted his teeth and finally said dejectedly:
"Let's eat first."

Lolita came over happily and sat on the chair. However, she did not rush to eat. Instead, she pouted and said:

"Uncle Jules, will you be sad if I leave in the future?"

Yule was a little surprised, pursed his lips and said:
"Maybe."

He didn't know either, but he couldn't go against his own heart.

Lolita lowered her head, wiggling her little feet, and after a while, she said:
"Uncle Jules, I suddenly remembered a lot of things."

Yule's eating stopped for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, saying with a hint of fatigue:

"what's up?"

Lolita looked up at Jules.

"Some are related to my uncle, and some are not. As for what they are specifically... humph, I won't tell you!"

She made a face and giggled.

"You're guarding against me as if I were a thief!" Jules cursed with a smile, and his mood became a little lighter with this amusement.

Ruth is gone, she will never come back. Even if the Lolita in front of us is exactly the same as Ruth in essence, she is no longer the same as she was in the past.

While chewing on the sausage, he looked at Lolita and suddenly said:

"Lolita, are you willing to be my daughter? Well, not necessarily a real daughter, but at least..."

Before he could finish, Lolita tilted her head and said:
"Okay."

Hearing such a straightforward answer, Jules laughed.

This was the best way he could think of to get along with Lolita. He really couldn't use his previous ideas to get along with Lolita, who was essentially Ruth, and it was difficult to go any further.

After much thought, perhaps raising Lolita as a daughter is the best option.

After all, according to the introduction of [Heart of the Wave·Seal] and the will of the Wave, it seems that he still needs to train Lolita into a transcendent person before taking her to meet the Wave again.

Let’s not discuss what benefits Lolita can get for now, but the benefits he can get seem to be quite obvious.

"Can I make thorns grow in the Heart of the Wave and break the seal? I'm really looking forward to seeing this thing in its full form..."

The sealed Heart of Waves is already a third-order wonder. It is hard to imagine what level the Heart of Waves can reach after being unsealed by Si Chen himself!
Yule took a deep breath and felt that his future goals were clearer than ever before.

Now that the problem here has finally been solved, it is time to communicate with Holmes and lure and kill the secret believers.

Now that he has become a superhuman, he will never be afraid of them again!
