671 Ceremony (1/2)
”What do you think, Bishop Daniel?”
Outside the villa, the three notaries from before hid themselves in the dark and quietly observed the lights in the villa.
Baron Shawshank's envoy, a scholar named Hahn, bowed slightly while asking, ”Will the… ceremony succeed? After all, it's failed so many times.”
”This… is difficult to say. After all, it is a Legend knight's power…”
Daniel shook his head. ”Didn't the multiple attempts before tell us the outcome? It only accepts the blood of that Legend knight. Moreover, the requirements are high. The failed examples previously were right in front of our eyes!”
While they were discussing, another notary beside them laughed awkwardly, hoping to find a crack in the floor to hide in. He pretended that he did not hear anything.
After all, someone like him did not have the right to hear such secrets.
Bishop Daniel did not notice and had other thoughts as he looked at the villa. According to Torrege's letter, there's something wrong with Luhn, and he hoped that I could investigate this matter. This inheritance ceremony is the best way to check.
The Legend's power is able to distinguish souls. Even if there is accepted blood, he would only be worse off than the other inheritors if there is something wrong with his soul.
”Hopefully this can be successful. This is not only the wish of the baron, but the other lords are also anticipating the strength of a Legend knight. The previous one assisted the first Grand Duke Stan and built the duchy.”
At this moment, Scholar Hahn muttered, ”Is this the necessity of war…”
Towards this, Bishop Daniel knew it in his heart and shook his head.
They knew part of the truth. Knight Jorah did not die from a severe illness, but purely because of a problem in inheriting.
The family of the Knight Jorah was only in-charge of the ceremony. To activate the inheritance suddenly, it was no wonder that he got bitten in return.
And the reason he did so was the pressure from the higher-ups.
Due to this, Daniel came over after the failure in order to put an end to the influence of the whole matter.
Once the ceremony begins, it can only be stopped when the real inheritor appears. Otherwise, I'm afraid an even more terrifying dead spirit disaster will appear…
Daniel feelings were very complex.
He hoped to find out how Luhn was different, but also hoped to solve everything here.
At this time, the villa in front of them changed.
Dark gray flames rose. As if it was a screen, it enveloped the whole villa.
Instantly, the villa and its surrounding went dark. Outsiders would not be able to observe anything.
”It's begun…”
Looking at this scene unfold, Daniel and Hahn held their breath at the same time and quietly began to wait.
…
”This is… a domain? Specious! Just a weakened enchantment…”
In the villa, Fang Yuan realized something was wrong immediately.
He was currently in the study. With a book about the noble families' family trees in his hands, he was reading the picture of each and every family's crest and coat of arms. He sighed. ”Alright, looks like I might have underestimated Knight Jorah's family. After all, he also had noble blood that could even date back to the Stan Duchy's founder knight.”
Then, the first generation Grand Duke Stan completely depended on the hard work of a knight to lay the foundations of the duchy today.
The knight at that time was rumored to be able to walk on air. Just by casually swinging his sword, he could split the ground open. He was a legend within a legend!
”In the records of the genealogical tree, there were seven such knights, called the 'Legend Knight Group'. They were a power that resounded throughout the mainland. And Knight Jorah's family originated from one of these seven people—'Death Hand' Glendon.”
There were many professions in this world, but there was no unified differentiation.
For example, if a warrior had just aggregated the seeds of his fighting spirit, he was definitely stronger than a senior soldier.
Thus, the general divide of first level soldier, first level warrior, and whatnot was a joke.
”I now know that there are only fundamental and attributed fighting spirit, these two levels, for warriors… However, in the memory of that sorcerer, someone being able to urge attributed fighting spirit would already be referred to as a high-level warrior. With that, it's easy to mix as the garrison captain of a city…
”Of course, sorcerers are even more powerful. Even if one is at the most basic level, it's enough for him to live a grand life similar to a noble…
”However, what's interesting is that, no matter if it's a warrior or a sorcerer, or even other Extraordinary professions, there'll be a strange but complete transformation at a certain stage. One could even obtain a domain-like power. These people are the peak powers in the mortal world—the Legends! They are said to be the existences closest to the Gods…”
In fact, these Legends could also be called Domainers by Fang Yuan.
The only reason why they could not be called Gods was because their domains were not strong enough. In other words, this was related to how they didn't have a Godhood.
Only with the authority of a Godhood bestowed by the world could a Domainer be truly extraordinary and become a True God.
This was the route of how to become a True God in this world!
Thinking about this, Fang Yuan glanced at his stats window.

”I currently still have a long way to go before I can be a God.”
