Chapter 133: Chapter 127: Bloodline Awakening
Byrne, Irene, Chris, Darren, Lillian, Vanessa, Theo, Yeager, Archibald, Mormir…
More than a dozen core members of the Fischer family all sensed the will of the Lord, and as a favored clan of the Lord, the Fischers heard His oracle even more clearly.
“In the land of the Blazing Sun, under the deep abyss, seek the Miracle, and offer it unto me.”
Byrne, still beside Viscount Bast, subtly changed his expression. He silently bowed his head in thought, committing the oracle of the Lord of the Lost firmly to memory.
The East, an island, the seabed, a Miracle…
In the courtyard of Fischer Manor, the devout Irene knelt on the ground and whispered to herself,
“The land where the Blazing Sun rises must be the White Sea to the east. Beneath one of the islands in that sea lies the object our Lord requires.”
At last, the great Lord of the Lost had once again given them a clear goal. Her face lit up with fervor as she muttered with extreme devotion,
“The Fischer family must seize it! To offer it to the great Lord of the Lost!”
When Byrne returned, the Fischer family convened a new family meeting.
Upon learning that the family was about to join the front lines, Irene revealed a smile, barely able to contain her excitement, and said, “We can take this opportunity to head to the White Sea, precisely to obtain that object called the ‘Miracle’ that our Lord needs!”
Although, no one knew what exactly the Lord of the Lost required.
But they were all clear that it was undoubtedly an object of extreme importance; securing it would become a vital mission for the Fischer family.
Byrne looked at the overly excited Irene and fell into thought, shaking his head as he said, “I think it won’t be that easy.”
“The White Sea is filled with danger, and the threat from the Sea God Cult and the islands remains vast, not to mention the ‘Miracle’ lies beneath one of the islands, and we have no means to dive to the seabed.”
“Moreover, Irene, have you considered that we will be traveling with the army this time, with absolutely no opportunity for independent action?”
Irene lowered her head and after careful thought, she had to agree with Byrne’s considerations. She had indeed thought too little about it before.
That “Miracle,” indeed lay in a place full of danger and chaos, and the Fischer family currently had no chance of obtaining it.
Byrne continued to speak, “So, this matter can be thought about later. With only a brief two months left before the final extermination war begins, we must make ample preparations in advance.”
Irene nodded. Completely eradicating the Sea God Cult and clearing the chaos of the White Sea would not only benefit Nasir Town but also facilitate the Fischer family’s quest for the Miracle.
Byrne thought for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, “Actually, before we set out for battle, I plan to do something, that is, to activate the latent bloodline powers hidden within Darren and Erik.”
“As for Lillian, she is still young; we can activate her bloodline powers later.”
In truth, years ago, the great Lord of the Lost had already bestowed a very miraculous method upon the Fischer family, capable of activating latent bloodline powers in the Spirit Realm, even allowing lower grade bloodline powers to evolve further.
Neither of these prospects had they ever heard of or even believed in—mysteries so incredible that they would surely bring calamity if they became known.
Perhaps, there are other ways in the world to evolve lower grade bloodline powers, but there likely isn’t any other method to activate latent bloodline powers into manifest ones.
For every family, the power of Bloodline is immensely precious, and the power held by the Fischer family lies in breaking the established rules.
“First is to traverse the Gate of Revelation, then enter the Gate of Calamity. By following this sequence, we can set up a temporary altar, sacrifice Class 3 Extraordinary Materials, and perform the Blood Awakening Ceremony.”
As soon as Byrne finished speaking, he heard Irene ask about something,
“The ‘Night’ you brought back to the family after killing Leander, we haven’t yet offered it to the Lord of the Lost. Should we offer it first?”
Byrne shook his head and said,
“There’s no need. The three of us have already been granted rune power by the Lord of the Lost, while Darren and Lillian are both too young to be granted any rune power.”
“I think we should keep the ‘Night’ for now. As a Treasure-class rare artifact, it might be useful in the upcoming war.”
Irene nodded, having no objections, and the three decided to proceed with the Blood Awakening Ceremony immediately.
They were to awaken the latent bloodline powers within Darren and Erik!
Darren and Lillian both inherited the bloodline powers of their maternal family, the Hoffman clan— the Blazing Fire Lizard Spirit and the Crystal Jellyfish, respectively, with the Crystal Jellyfish’s power being of a higher grade.
As for Erik, he contained a bloodline power handed down from the Ramon family, which until now has remained completely latent, with its specific name and grade unknown.
If not for the existence of the Lord of the Lost, the bloodline power passed down through generations of the Ramon family might have remained latent forever, indistinguishable from ordinary people.
Soon, both Darren and Erik were called over.
Byrne explained what was to be done. Darren appeared somewhat excited yet fearful, while Erik silently nodded, looking dependently at Byrne, willing to accept whatever decision the man before him made without objection.
Over the years, Byrne and Erik had often worked together in the alchemy workshop, spending more time with each other than Byrne had with his own children.
