Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: Chapter 79: Tallying Up the Gains (Vote for Monthly Tickets!) (2/2)

In the basement of the Fischer family estate, Byrne, Irene, and Chris were discussing the gains and losses of the whole affair and the mistakes made.

Byrne took a deep breath and said,

“We should have brought Chris with us. If Chris had been there from the start, perhaps things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.”

Irene nodded without any objection to the hope of bringing Chris, and continued,

“Moreover, it might have been better if I had shot that low-level Transmutation enemy with the first bullet.”

The silent Chris couldn’t help but glance at his sister.

He fully sensed the subtle changes in his sister; Irene still loved the Fischer family, but she was no longer afraid of the possibility of losing a family member.

Byrne thought back to the chaotic level of the entire battle and felt that if his father Lucius had been commanding on the scene, the outcome might have been different.

Also, the combat readiness of the patrolling guards was simply too poor, and the Fischers’ own guards weren’t much better, nowhere near comparable to the soldiers of the Rhea People.

After some reflection, he suddenly said, “If I have the chance, I want to go to Fein City’s academy to further my military studies, for about a year, to systematically learn about combat command and military training.”

“Perhaps I will also find an opportunity to ascend to the 3rd Rank.”

“Mm, I support your decision,” Irene nodded, feeling it was a good idea.

“I have something extremely important to say,” Byrne said with a very solemn expression, continuing, “Regarding the plan to create new ‘Blood Receivers,’ I think we must start scheduling it from now on.”

“According to the original rules, as long as three people from the Fischer family agree, we can permit someone to join Dawn. Now that Chris’s mind is mature, he naturally can participate in the decision making.”

Irene was silent for a moment, offering no rebuttal.

Although caution and secrecy were the most important tenets of the Fischer family, maintaining the current number of Extraordinary Exponents would unquestionably keep them in constant difficulty.

She nodded in strong agreement and added,

“Then, the most important thing is the selection. The price of Extraordinary materials is getting more and more expensive, and many specific materials aren’t available for purchase whenever one wishes. Choosing which capable and sufficiently loyal children to pick is something we must consider.”

Money, undoubtedly, was the most objective problem.

Class 2 Extraordinary Material costed tens of Gold Coins, and after this year’s sundry expenses, the Fischer family’s total remaining assets could at most afford one more batch of Class 2 Extraordinary Material.

In conclusion, Byrne said, “The Blood Receivers the Fischer family needs are a few loyal elites; we can’t create too many, or it will definitely attract the attention of outsiders.”

A small family from a remote area suddenly possessing dozens of Extraordinary Exponents would certainly attract the scrutiny of various countries and several major churches, and when that happens, it will bring unimaginable risks.

After the review and planning were complete, the Fischer family began today’s sacrifice.

Irene calmly sacrificed the blood-red rose Mysterious rare artifact “Tainted Blood” to the Lord of the Lost.

It was a Treasure class Mysterious rare artifact that contained several times more Spirituality than Collectible class ones.

When Karl absorbed the Spirituality, he immediately felt a sensation akin to chewing on beef.

Though he was without a tongue, he was still able to taste the deliciousness, which was quite good news.

After continuously devouring the Spawn of the Abyss and the Mysterious rare artifact “Tainted Blood,” the third Seal began to show signs of loosening, and Karl was overjoyed deep within his heart.

Immediately, he broke down the blood-red runes deep within his soul into many rune essences.

Karl realized that those rune essences were not enough to let the “heal” rune evolve, nor were they enough for the already spirit rune “Iron Wall” to evolve again.

So he decided to imbue most of the collected rune essences into “accelerate,” keeping a small remainder for the time being.

The next moment, the originally blue rune “accelerate” suddenly flared with light!

It evolved!

Spirit rune “transcend”!

When activating the spirit rune “transcend,” not only does it provide a speed increase for up to three minutes, but it can also instantly amplify the speed of one’s thoughts.

However, its cost was a greater consumption of Spirituality than the “accelerate” rune.

Byrne’s eyes flickered with blue sparks as he felt that some kind of restraint in his mind was suddenly shattered!

“I feel the blessing of the Lord of the Lost, it is a new power, and it is so much stronger than the rune power I had before!”
