Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Chapter 43 Naughty Child (2/2)

“My leg is bad, so I want to learn to read and do math to be able to repay Sister Irene and the Fischer family when I grow up.”

“Good people should receive good fortunes.”

That evening, Vanessa, as usual, came to the hospital director’s room of the orphanage, where Irene calmly used her healing power to ease Vanessa’s pain.

Vanessa’s deformed right leg was the result of a curse placed on her parents or ancestors or a deal made with a mystical being. Therefore, it was fundamentally the influence of extraordinary power and not a disease that could be healed.

All Irene could do was alleviate the pain. Now, Vanessa was sitting on her lap, serenely feeling that verdant power that was like a breath of spring.

Even though she couldn’t be cured and become normal, Vanessa felt profoundly grateful to Hospital Director Irene from the bottom of her heart.

“Did you meet Chris today?”

Irene had long been using the “Secret Ear Technique” to create several ring-like patterns around the orphanage, which she used to eavesdrop on events there, and she basically had a good grasp of the daily happenings.

“Yes, I did.”

Vanessa was initially keen to report on Chris but quickly felt it might not be right and hesitated.

Irene wanted to know if Vanessa would lie to her. Smiling and caressing the girl, she asked, “Tell me then, what happened between you two?”

After thinking for a bit, Vanessa nodded and said, “Okay.”

She recounted the events truthfully but still hoped that Irene wouldn’t blame Chris, feeling that Chris too could reform.

Irene had noticed that Chris was becoming increasingly strange-tempered of late, but she could never quite manage her brother, unlike how she maintained her seriousness with the children of the orphanage.

Vanessa was a very special girl, not merely because of her physically disabled form.

It was extremely rare, but Vanessa possessed undeveloped spellcasting talent with potential that was considered above average.

The world of spellcasting contained wild and varied types, but ninety-nine percent of spellcasters had talents that fell into one of the eight main categories.

They were “Element,” “protect,” “prophecy,” “alchemy,” “Summoning,” “undead,” “Transformation,” and “Mental.” One could only learn spells corresponding to the category of their spellcasting talent.

Her spellcasting talent category was “Summoning.”

However, for the time being, the Fischer family lacked the tradition of summoning spellcasters, and they also didn’t think it was good to train a spellcaster who could not be controlled too early.

Irene thought it wise to first build a closer relationship with Vanessa and cultivate her character.

After observing for a while, she found that, despite her tragic fate, Vanessa had a remarkably cheerful and sunny disposition. However, the little girl also had one big flaw.

That was, her sense of justice was too strong, and she was too dismissive of her own safety.

Once Irene left Daybreak Orphanage and returned home, she went down to the basement, where Byrne and Chris were already waiting for her.

Tonight they were about to conduct a new ceremony to sacrifice a mysterious rare artifact given by an out-of-town merchant to the great Lord of the Lost.

The merchant had once been cured of an illness by Irene. At the time, he had been short of funds and was unable to repay her, but had recently kept his promise by acquiring the mysterious rare artifact to repay his debt.

Irene glanced at Chris, who, as usual, appeared calm.

She nodded her head and said, “Let us begin the ceremony and offer our sacrifice.”

The offering prepared by the Fischer family that night was a collectible class mysterious rare artifact shaped like an exceedingly dark bracelet, set with irregular, scattered diamonds.

“Blade Bangle,” it contained extremely peculiar powers. Whoever wore the bangle on the right hand could transform anything they touched into various weapons at will.

However, all the transformed weapons were ordinary, without extraordinary power. Thus, at best, it was only a collectible class mysterious rare artifact.

Karl sensed the aura of spiritual power and slowly absorbed it into his soul, gradually assimilating it. During the whole process, the second seal became increasingly loose.

Ultimately, the mysterious rare artifact acted as the final straw. After complete absorption, he clearly felt the second seal within the depths of his soul shatter completely!

Brand new memories began to surge from the deepest parts of his soul, instantly unlocking a starkly different set of possibilities for Karl!
