Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: Chapter 62: Consecution Killer (2/2)
It was Chris’s judgment that the power associated with the “Path of Tranquility” would become increasingly adept at assassination and the like.
Therefore, Chris felt that he would eventually become the designated assassin for the Fischer family and wanted to gain experience in this area in advance, training himself through real combat.
Although it was not a big deal for a member of the Fischer family to want to make progress, he was only ten years old!
If an ordinary ten-year-old boy had expressed such thoughts, the two of them would not have cared and might have even taken it as a joke.
But Chris was too different; he had been somewhat “strange” from a young age, or rather, it was not just a matter of being “somewhat.”
Irene fell into deep silence; even though she knew some criminals or soldiers had killed by the age of ten, she did not want her brother to be the same.
Even though he always showed a mature side, in the deepest part of Irene’s heart, Chris was still that soft and clean baby in swaddling clothes.
She also felt somewhat conflicted inside, knowing that Chris would eventually fight and kill for the Fischer family, while she herself had long been able to ignore the lives and deaths of outsiders. Yet, she never wanted her brother to become someone like her.
She wanted to protect him forever, or rather, to keep Chris as far away as possible from all the dangers and sins of the world.
“I have assimilated the ‘Hunter.’”
This sudden statement plunged Irene into silence, and Byrne was also very surprised, for he remembered Chris as having the fastest assimilation speed with magic potions.
It was said that personality compatibility could to some extent accelerate the absorption speed of magic potions, and Chris had always been quiet and extremely reserved.
Perhaps he truly was born to be the most suitable for the Path of Tranquility.
“You’ll come with me, and it’s even better if I take action.”
Byrne walked over, gently patted Chris’s shoulder, and then was avoided by the boy, who usually did not allow anyone but his sister to touch him.
He wasn’t bothered by Chris’s action, not embarrassed in the least, but instead continued:
“But first, we need to elevate you to a higher rank, so that we can be fully confident. The family can immediately trade for Class 2 Extraordinary Materials from the town.”
Chris looked into Irene’s eyes; he cared more about his sister’s opinion than Byrne’s agreement.
“You should still assist Byrne, Chris.”
Irene showed a smile and said, “Chris is really brave, but I still thought of you as a little child.”
On the following night, the core members of the Fischer family gathered in the basement to perform the well-known ritual once again.
“Great Lord of the Lost, I am your most faithful and devout servant.”
“I hope you can grant us the power of the Path of Tranquility, and provide us with new guidance.”
Irene prayed very devoutly, sacrificing the Class 2 Extraordinary Material “Winterheart Clam,” a shell seemingly made entirely of ice crystals, with a core pearl of light blue containing magic power.
Chris and Byrne kneeled on the ground together, silently recalling the events of that night.
At that time, he too had seen the white light shining in the sky, witnessing the miracle bestowed by the Lord of the Lost.
Even his sister didn’t know; nobody in the world knew of his extremely unique talent.
Although Chris did not remember everything like “Profound Memory,” he had memories that persisted from infancy into adulthood.
When he was still a toddler, adults would often pass by and say many greedy and malicious things in front of him, thinking that no one else would know.
But Chris remembered, and as he grew up, he gradually understood the meanings behind those words, becoming increasingly aware of the ugliness within people’s hearts.
Finally, the glow of Spirituality emerged in the air.
It was the power of the 2nd Rank of the Path of Tranquility!
“Praise You, great Lord of the Lost!”
Irene’s face was filled with joy as she jubilantly praised her god.
Chris looked up calmly, waiting for the glow of Spirituality to merge with him, and soon felt a new power in the depths of his soul.
The Power of Consecution “Assassin.”
He felt an even more powerful extraordinary power emerge!
