Chapter 214: Chapter 203: The Third Tier “Court Attendant” and the Overseas Base

“It seems that I have already reached my limit.”

Within the courtyard of the Fischer Manor, Theo, with his full head of white hair and still robust and tall figure, stood calmly with his hands clasped behind his back, once again attempting to harness a new power.

“Majesty.”

With just a hardening of his gaze, an intense aura burst forth from the old man!

He then extended his hand again, and a reddish flame instantly condensed into a blade, as if it could effortlessly burn and destroy flesh, continuously crackling and popping.

“Hmm, this is indeed the limit, given my lifespan, there won’t be any more possibilities in the future.”

Theo smiled, feeling not the slightest dissatisfaction; he had lived a long enough life.

He finally reached the 3rd Rank of the Path of Authority last month.

That was the Consecution power known as “Court Attendant.”

Theo had long ago assimilated the Consecution power of the 2nd Rank of the Path of Authority, and, fortunately, he found the ritual for promotion to “Court Attendant” right away.

All he needed to do was to serve the main members of the family diligently, as usual, to gradually complete the ritual for promotion to Court Attendant.

Byrne, too, was pleased to record this ritual, finding it quite straightforward, whereas Christine, who had also set out on the Path of Authority, was not as willing.

She simply did not like to serve others, but if she truly reached that point in the future, she would have no choice.

When Theo was promoted to “Court Attendant,” the extraordinary materials Lilian sacrificed were the 3rd Rank “Black Golem Eye,” which were the eyes of a pitch-black constructed creature that emitted a powerful red light when enraged in life. After death, that light would become fixed and could even be used for illumination at night.

The representation of “Court Attendant” in the Spirit Realm is that of a servant holding a scepter, with eyes filled with intense loyalty and pride.

After reaching “Court Attendant,” Theo’s physical condition improved by the equivalent of 50 points, and his Spiritual Power increased by 20, no doubt leaning more towards enhancements for close combat.

At the same time, he also gained three new Extraordinary traits.

They are “Vigilance,” “Courtly Majesty,” and “Blade of Flames.”

“Vigilance” allows a Court Attendant to, on the very first moment they wake up on Monday each week, choose one of the seven days of the week as their designated day of Vigilance.

On that day, his Spiritual Power and physical condition would greatly increase, almost to the point of doubling!

If no choice is made within ten minutes, then Monday will be the default day for “Vigilance.”

“Vigilance” is less a “guardian” type of ability and more suited for premeditated attacks.

“Courtly Majesty” is a kind of bullying, spirit-attacking aura that could directly cause fear in those weaker than oneself, and the weaker the person, the greater the effect, with a base influence diameter of fifty meters. The more Spiritual Power consumed, the larger the fear radius could be expanded.

However, “Courtly Majesty” isn’t very effective against Extraordinary Exponents of the same rank and useless against more powerful ones.

Meanwhile, “Blade of Flames” means that a Court Attendant can instantly create a flaming blade in hand, hotter and more powerful than those created by Mysterious Scholars.

The downside is that the flaming blade cannot be thrown, only used in close combat, significantly reducing the range of attack.

“Mr. Theo, I have something to report,”

At that moment, Rishia from the Path of Divine Sacrifice approached the old butler Theo and didn’t hesitate to say:

“I have discovered ‘pests.'”

“So?”

Theo raised an eyebrow. Spies infiltrating the family were nothing new.

However, Rishia’s next words caused Theo’s face to drastically change.

“They are from the Lion clan.”

The white-capped ocean, shining under the sunlight like bright diamond sparkles, seemed like the most beautiful painting crafted by nature.

“Whoooosh!”

The steamship whistled past the sea, exuding a strong scent of coal and dispersing thick smoke into the wind. The ship left behind white, rippling foam on the water it traversed.

Its sound was like the deep chimes of a distant bell, accompanied by strong roars and jetting noises, filled with the stunning power of the Industrial Age.

In the steam boiler, water gradually boiled into steam through combustion, then traversed pipes to reach the cylinder, driving the pistons to work. The cooling steam was led through ducts into the condenser to recondense back into water, and the piston’s repetitive up-and-down movement was transformed into the rotation of the ship’s shaft!
