Chapter 308 Arcturus
Andes Mountains, cultist camp.
Daru was walking on the road in despair. He had received definite news that the pagan who attacked the camp had captured his tamed beast!
He really couldn't understand what kind of mentality such a powerful enemy had in taking away his tame beast.
"Brother, don't be sad. Maybe the family will help you re-contract a tamed beast with great potential."
A young boy who was about as strong as Daru hugged his cousin gently and comforted him.
There was a similar sadness on his face, but he was happy in his heart:
‘Why did the family give you the best resources? The first tamed animal to be contracted was one of the top tamed animals, but I only contracted an ordinary snow leopard.
Well now, the tamed beast that cost so much to contract was captured by the enemy and will definitely not come back!
Even if those clan elders prefer you, they can no longer spend a huge price to help you contract a top-level beast tamer. What I can’t get, you can’t get either. ’
The young man couldn't completely hide his true thoughts. The sadness on his face didn't last for a few seconds before the sadness showed a strange emotion mixed with joy.
Daru's attention was not focused on the present, and he did not notice the wonderful expression on his cousin's face.
He shook his head bitterly, suppressing the worries in his heart:
"Brother, thank you for your comfort. The family has spent a lot of effort on me. If the bear cub doesn't come back, they won't help me contract with the top beast tamers."
He knew with certainty in his heart that even if a clan elder was willing to help him contract a top-level beast taming contract, others would not agree because doing so would go against the family's principles of doing things.
Just after saying this, Daru suddenly felt his heart empty, as if something very precious had left him.
After being stunned for a moment, he felt that the weak bond between himself and the tamed beast had disappeared.
If he originally had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that after the pagans found out that the giant bear cub in the north was contracted, they might abandon the bear cub with high dignity, now he was completely in despair.
Daru could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart and fainted.
. . . .
When the northern giant bear cub woke up, Crown, who was meditating on the golden light spell, felt something.
He finished his visualization and opened his eyes, just in time to see the bear cub's big black eyes curiously looking at the surrounding environment.
When he saw him, the bear cub's eyes showed timidity and kindness.
It was timid because it remembered that there was a shadow of a powerful beast behind the person in front of it, which made it instinctively feel fear.
The reason for the intimacy is that the spiritual seeds planted by Crown have already sprouted. It is really simple for a fifth-level transcendent to use his mental power to condense the spiritual germs.
The seeds of spiritual power are planted, creating a natural bond between the tame animal and its owner that is like a family member.
Now Croun has replaced the original owner's position in the bear cub's heart and has become its support.
Noticing that Xiong Zai was a little depressed, he took out a white jade bowl, then raised his hand and drew a Pure Heart Talisman in the air.
Silver moon dew spilled out from the fingertips at a steady speed, outlining the entire talisman in the air.
The moment the talisman was drawn, he breathed flames, and the hot life flow surged. His fingers seemed to turn into igniters, and the talisman burned.
He stretched out his jade bowl and caught the burning Qingxin Talisman. After the spiritual power of the Talisman was burned and melted into the water, a bowl of silver soup was made.
Now that Kroun has a deeper understanding of the Golden Light Spell, why does the Pure Heart Talisman need to be ignited and dissolved in water before it can be taken? It's because the feminine spiritual power in moon dew is too overbearing to low-level life forms, and burning can neutralize the spiritual power.
Directly stimulating the spiritual power of the talisman to dissolve it in water and take it after taking it will not only not have the effect of warming and nourishing the spirit, but may be counterproductive and make living things poisonous.
Croun placed the jade bowl in front of the bear cub. The bear cub sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the silver soup and became a little more energetic. He stretched out his head and licked the talisman water. The bear's head as big as a football and the jade bowl as big as a palm formed a strong feeling. Contrast.
He stroked the hair on the head of the bear cub and smiled: "From now on, your name will be Arcturius."
The bear cub was eating deliciously, and he responded with two perfunctory 'um hum's without raising his head.
Croun laughed. The bear cub is still young now and does not have the aura of a giant bear guardian at all.
He squinted his eyes, thinking about the future recipes for the bear cubs.
All kinds of fresh meat, eggs, and milk are a must, and you should also take in enough Golden Light Talisman Water and Qingxin Talisman Water.
The Pure Heart Talisman Water is used to repair the spiritual damage caused by the stripping of the contract mark and nourish the soul, while the Golden Light Talisman Water is used to remove potential spiritual pollution and give it a certain exorcism ability.
‘It’s time to summon Billy to take charge of raising and taming the animals. Forkin and Buster are now able to forage on their own, but the little bear has yet to learn to take care of itself. ’
Thinking of this, Crown immediately wrote a letter and sent people back to Hamers City.
. . . .
As night falls, the Rhine City is shrouded in gray fog.
The sacred fire on the bell tower is blazing, dispelling the increasingly oppressive gray fog.
In the state of war, the city was under martial law. It had just fallen into the night and there were no pedestrians on the streets.
Crown got into a carriage bearing the emblem of the church and headed to the area controlled by the Warlock Brotherhood.
The horse's hooves stepped on the stone road, making a crisp "ta-da" sound.
When the night watch team saw that it was a church bishop-level vehicle, they did not stop it and the carriage drove forward unimpeded.
Later, the carriage stopped smoothly on the side of the street, and the coachman gently knocked on the glass of the carriage: "Sir, we are here."
Kroun, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said gently: "Thank you, trouble is waiting here."
He got out of the carriage, recognized the place, then walked up the steps and knocked on the black door.
"Who is it?" a slightly childish voice shouted.
A doting smile appeared on Crown's face: "Little Martin, guess who I am."
"Uncle is here."
The sound of two fast running footsteps came from the house, and two children rushed to open the door.
There were two more Saint Seiya statues in Crown's hand like magic. There was nothing I could do about it. The niece and nephew liked the gift more, and liking him was just incidental.
After opening the door, the children happily took the gifts, shouted perfunctorily "Hello, uncle, welcome, welcome", and then went back to the bedroom to play with toys.
Tiffany came over and gave her brother a hug:
"Thank God, it's great to see you. We're about to fight the cultists and I'm worried about you."
The joint command did not conceal information about the impending war, nor could large-scale military mobilization be concealed.
"Don't worry about me, you should be more worried about your brother-in-law."
"He, he is incorporated into the brotherhood's staff. He does not need to fight on the front line. He should be much safer than you."
"Don't worry, sister, I'm also a commander. I'll leave all the charge to others to do."
Rodney also walked to the door and said with a somewhat reserved smile: "Stop talking here, come in and sit down."
He had met the Supreme Commander of the Brotherhood, His Excellency Silver Warlock Lannister Leonard, and understood why he was placed in a relatively safe position.
The younger brother in front of him was already one of the real big figures in the Rhineland Diocese, which gave him the illusion that he was in a dream.
When he and Tiffany held a wedding, his parents were not optimistic about it, thinking that the woman's family would not be helpful to his career. Unexpectedly, just a few years later, his achievements were all attributed to his wife.
The three of them came to the living room, sipping Bordeaux wine leisurely and talking about homely matters. They all deliberately avoided the topic of war.
After a while, Kroun took out two golden light Tao seeds and stated his purpose:
"Sister, I am here to give you a gift. This is a seed of ability that can turn the meditation method you have practiced into a real means of self-protection."
After much thought, he decided to give these two Tao seeds to his relatives. When the two children grow up, they will also have a share.
At present, the upper limit of the golden light Tao seeds he can condense is ten, and six have been used. Now two are given away. The remaining two, one is reserved for Del's daughter Janice, and the last one is given to Arcturus. Down.
"So beautiful," Tiffany couldn't help but say as she looked at the shiny silver seeds with golden patterns.
She naturally picked up a golden Tao seed, which exuded a friendly and pleasant aura.
Rodney was stunned: "Shouldn't we be more concerned about what kind of abilities it can bring us?"
"How can you be blind to its beauty."
Rodney murmured in a low voice: "Beauty is just added value, of course we must pay attention to practical use."
"Huh, no mood."
Tiffany despised her husband's taste, then turned her head, pinched the golden Taoist seed with two fingers, and asked gently and eagerly:
"Crown, how should this be used?"
Now she insists on meditating every day. Although she does not have the ability to produce magical powers, she is full of energy, quick in thinking, and her physical fitness is steadily improving.
A few days ago, a warlock noticed that her mental power had entered the level of a transcendent. You must know that she had never conducted targeted training, and now she has become a warlock who studies spells.
She understood that the root of all this was the meditation method taught by her brother.
"It's very simple, just swallow it," explained Crown.
"Then I'll eat it," Tiffany said, putting the Tao seed into her mouth.
The object that was originally hard to the touch immediately turned into liquid and gurgled down her throat. She suddenly felt a fragrance lingering on her lips and teeth, which was more refreshing than drinking sweet wine.
After a moment of drunkenness, Tiffany noticed an extra gold and silver 'planet' in the spiritual sea.
Seeing his sister's eyes clear again, Kroun smiled and said, "Now I will transfer several spells to you."
After speaking, he passed on his insights into Taoist practices such as the Pure Heart Curse, Golden Light Body Protection, and Golden Light Seal. They were all spells for personal use.
The Pure Heart Talisman and the Golden Light Talisman involved transactions with the Warlock Brotherhood, and were also related to his own financial path, so it was inappropriate to pass them on.
"Three kinds of spells, the Qingxin Curse can calm the mind and calm the energy. It can improve the will resistance and has a very good defense effect against mental spells and pollution laws.
Golden light body protection can condense the energy of life that you have trained through meditation into a spiritual light armor, which is similar to spiritual armor and is an additional means of protection.
The Golden Seal can enchant inanimate objects with exorcism properties, which can be used to enhance your combat effectiveness. "
Tiffany covered her lips and exclaimed: "Why did you transfer so much knowledge into my spiritual sea at once? It's so magical?!"
Crown smiled and said nothing, without explanation.
Rodney also picked up the Golden Light Dao Seed and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation.
Crown also passed on the two Taoist techniques, as well as the method of visualization, and said:
"Because of your Tao seed, you will soon be able to practice these spells to a very high level."
Tiffany hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Can Julia and Martin also practice meditation and spells?"
Since entering the world of extraordinary beings, she has gained a lot of common sense, and at the same time, she has also understood some of the dangerous situations that the world will face in the future.
It turns out that under the cover of prosperity, human beings are so troubled.
Therefore, she wants children to have the power to control their own destiny, so that at least when danger comes, they have the ability and means to protect themselves.
Croun was stunned. There was no quota for the Golden Light Taoist Seed. If he wanted to obtain it again, he would have to wait until his proficiency reached 100,000 points.
"You need to wait for a while. The seeds you eat are very difficult to condense. Julia is not young now. Do you have any plans for her future?"
Rodney understood his wife's worries. He took her hand and comforted her: "The children are still young and are staying with us now. We can protect them."
Tiffany nodded and smiled slightly: "Yes, we can still protect them from wind and rain.
Julia had taken the test of the church and had no talent as a priest. I want to wait until her twelfth birthday to see if she can awaken her warlock talent.
If she doesn't have the talent of a warlock, she can only choose to become a spirit master or a knight. "
"I think the spirit master is also a good choice. Crown can minimize the danger of the spirit initiation ceremony."
Rodney now knows how powerful the potion made by his brother-in-law is, so he is not worried about how his daughter will choose the path in the future, because there is a guaranteed spirit master to choose.
Kroun calculated the progress of the Golden Light Spell and said:
"In half a year at most, I can condense a few golden light seeds again, just for Julia and Martin to use. At that time, Julia was not yet twelve years old.
My brother-in-law is right, it would be a good choice for me to become a spirit master.
I see that my brother-in-law has become a second-level transcendent. This progress is faster than most spirit masters. "
Through spiritual vision, he could intuitively observe the strength of Rodney's life magnetic field, and the other party's extraordinary level was invisible to him.
"How do you know? It's only been two days since I advanced."
Rodney felt relieved when he thought that Lord Lannister had great respect for Crown.
A person who can be respected by a silver level extraordinary person must have reached the same level of strength.
He is no longer a newcomer to the extraordinary world. Of course he knows the gap between the silver level extraordinary person and the third level extraordinary person, which represents the sublimation of the essence of life.
From a certain perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that Silver-level extraordinary beings have broken away from the human category.
