Chapter 511: Chapter 479 Shadow Moon Council
(Correction: An error in an earlier part of the text, Chris is Moter’s great-grandfather, not his grandfather.)
——
A part of Karl’s consciousness was in the sky, silently staring down below.
Moter.
The soul of that young man was in fact Lucius, who had passed away many years earlier.
His choice was starkly different from Byrne’s. After Lucius’s soul was activated, he resolutely decided to live another life, not wishing for eternal peace but yearning to return to the mortal world for a fresh start.
Karl respected his decision.
The Fischer family had done so much for him, and yet there were people who chose to return to service rather than retire completely, of course, there was no reason not to support that.
Lucius, reborn, received enhancements in various aspects and was born with the destiny’s trajectory of a “Rewriter.”
It was a very powerful destiny trajectory because any theoretically replicable technique or ability he had seen could be wielded once more.
Many swordsmanship instructors spent decades mastering their craft, yet Moter could grasp it after a single viewing and rapidly excel… Though reaching the level of a Sword Master still required long and arduous practice and experience, any skills supported by his “hardware” that he observed once could be quickly mastered to a small degree.
Of course, because he lacked magical talent and specific bloodline powers, most extraordinary powers were impossible for him to replicate.
Yet, at just twelve years old, Moter was already nearing masterful levels in swordsmanship. Below the rank of Sword Master, purely in terms of technique, he proved an exceedingly rare adversary.
Moreover, from a young age, Moter had been a person of calm maturity and flexibility of mind, much like in his previous life. Only now, he had not yet developed that lazy demeanor of the former Lucius and, lacking in experience, occasionally fell short in judgment.
There was one particularly peculiar thing… in this lifetime, Moter had developed a fondness for music and opera, an interest the former Lucius did not possess.
This change occurred because, within Nasir City of this generation, there was a top-tier opera house, and since he was five or six, his father, Prince Arte, often took him there. Over time, he fell in love with operas and a variety of music.
“Lucius, Moter, they are the same person. Although their core personalities haven’t changed, interests and hobbies among other minor details are still very different from his previous life.”
“Moreover, based on other reincarnated individuals, if later life experiences differ greatly, it’s likely that adult personalities will also diverge significantly.”
Karl thought silently.
Even if the personalities across two lifetimes of the same soul varied, he still believed they were the same person… Differences in personality are normal, after all, even for any average person; the character trait differences from twenty to thirty years ago and twenty to thirty years hence can never be completely the same. It’s a common occurrence for experiences to alter parts of a personality.
“Within Bohr City lies a strong fluctuation of spiritual power… Most likely, it’s some sort of powerful single-digit Forbidden rare artifact, but something feels off…”
“Like an oil lamp, its powers seem incomplete, almost as if it’s in a situation similar to mine… I see, a single-digit Forbidden rare artifact that has been sealed.”
He pondered deeply.
That sealed single-digit Forbidden rare artifact was of great importance to him.
“The Fischer family will obtain it.”
——
After the opera concluded, amidst the adulation and amorous words of many distinguished gentry, a smiling Elena returned to Locke Manor, the largest estate in the city. With Count Locke away, she was essentially the mistress of the grand estate.
Soon, attended by maids in dressing room number seven, she changed her clothes; her smile then faded as she calmly proceeded to her own room.
The room was engulfed in night; she did not light the gaslamp.
And there, already waiting for a long time, was an envoy dressed in black, wearing the Eye of the Raven mask. He was one of the Raven’s officers, now a subordinate of the Great Prince Arsh.
His silent presence in the dark cast an intangible pressure on Elena; the man was shrouded in mystery, someone who had been in close contact with members of the Fischer family!
“Envoy, please give your orders.”
“The Blood Moon is acting within Bohr City’s range, the family needs your cooperation to investigate. Then, there’s a second matter… The person in this portrait needs to be monitored, it is a direct command from Prince Arsh.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Elena’s heart raced with excitement. To receive a direct order from Prince Arsh himself, this was no minor matter.
“May I ask, who exactly is he?”
