Chapter 29: Chapter 28 Consecution “Pharmacist

The only person in Nasir Town who could use an “Extraction Spell” to turn mysterious creatures into extraordinary materials was the elder of the silver descendants clan.

However, cooperation between the Fischer family and the elder of the silver descendants clan was not going smoothly.

Silver descendants are one of the sub-human species, characterized by their white hair, not only their head hair but even their eyebrows and all body hair.

Their average lifespan is half that of ordinary people, but their spiritual power is naturally stronger. The probability of newborn silver descendants awakening the talent of a spellcaster is several times higher than that of mainstream humans.

The drawback is that the mental state of silver descendants is more prone to instability.

One of the most powerful and influential spellcasters in the history of the Ouden Continent was a female silver descendant who had created a top-tier “Element-type Spellcasting Bequest” and soon after vanished without a trace along with the bequest.

There were only a few hundred silver descendants in Nasir Town, but they lived together on a street at the edge of South City, and anyone who dared to bully a silver descendant would be met with collective retaliation.

They were very hostile to outsiders, and the other townspeople rarely ventured to their street. Since the silver descendants universally worshiped the Lord of Salvation, they only allowed those who shared their faith to come and do business with them.

The members of the Fischer family had never publicly declared their faith.

Lucius suggested that the family collectively pretend to worship the Lord of Salvation, the most influential deity. Byrne felt that it did not matter whether they pretended to follow the powerful Lord of Salvation and the Sun, or the seemingly weaker Order, Storm, or Silver Moon.

The problem lay with Irene; the mere mention of feigning belief in the Lord of Salvation made her uncomfortable, and even the idea of pretending to convert left a bad taste in her mouth.

In her own words, it was unbearable to see others praising other gods as the greatest right in front of her, to the point where she could not eat.

It wasn’t until Lucius presented her with many examples of endurance and psychological preparation that Irene finally agreed to the pretense, albeit reluctantly.

The devout Irene’s soul wrestled with a strand of black light; the original black radiance had been expended in a night battle long ago, and the new black light was the result of her devout prayers re-condensed through “God Worshiping” over three years.

Thus, the negotiation with the elder of the silver descendants clan was left to Irene, but the prospects did not look hopeful. Despite having studied the religious teachings of the Lord of Salvation beforehand, their attitude toward her remained poor.

The fundamental reason for this was that she was not a silver descendant, but a mainstream human.

Byrne had thought so initially, but Lucius scoffed at this reason with blatant disdain.

Wasn’t Baron Hovern, who had originally come to collect money, also not a silver descendant? And yet, didn’t that “very principled” clan elder still put on a smiling face at the banquet?

In the end, the elder of the silver descendants clan quoted a price that Irene simply could not accept.

The rationale behind the outrageous demand was simple: there were not many spellcasters with “Alchemical Spellcasting Bequest” in the whole of Nasir Town, and he was the only one who could perform the “Extraction Spell.” Otherwise, the Fischer family would have to look for someone else in Fein City.

The Fischer family indeed could not afford to delay any longer, for as time passed and without proper preservation techniques, the extraordinary power contained in the Moonshadow White Bear’s corpse would gradually diminish.

The deal was eventually struck, and the members of the Fischer family soon rejoiced. From the bear’s carcass, they acquired a Class 3 Extraordinary Material “Moonshadow Bearskin,” and in addition, a Class 2 Extraordinary Material “Moonshadow Tongue,” amounting to a significant fortune.

The Moonshadow Bearskin couldn’t be used immediately, as Lucius, who had already reached the 2nd Rank, was still far from assimilating the Magic Potion. However, after some discussion, they also decided not to sell it.

Fortunately, the Class 2 Extraordinary Material “Moonshadow Tongue” could be put to immediate use, as both Irene and Byrne had fully digested the magic potions of the 1st Rank.

The ceremony unfolded once again. After the Fischer family members sacrificed the “Moonshadow Tongue,” Karl entered the Spirit Realm again, yet did not immediately expand the Extraordinary laws.

He silently contemplated whether to elevate Irene or Byrne to the next step.

“Between the Path of Knowledge and the Path of Divine Sacrifice for the 2nd Rank, the Path of Knowledge takes priority for the entire Fischer family,” he concluded.

Karl then created the 2nd Rank of the Path of Knowledge. In the “constellation,” there existed the image of a middle-aged man in green robes, holding a potion bottle with swirling liquid.

“Pharmacist” of the Consecution!

A pale green Spiritual Radiance entered Byrne’s body before the eyes of all present.

Even though she wasn’t the second to receive the blessing, Irene felt no jealousy or dissatisfaction, but rather heartfelt joy for her relative and was filled with even greater reverence and gratitude toward the great Lord of the Lost.
