章 11: Chapter 11: Tremendous Harvest
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lide was so shocked by the attributes of the Crystal Skeleton that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Divine Remains
Attached Attributes:
1. Inheritance, can transform a human into the Bloodline Ancestor (already used)
2. Bloodline's Legacy, can maintain the vitality of human blood (range: 100-blade radius)
3. Magic Power Surge, as a divine being, even in death, it could still attract magic power, constantly drawing magic power to gather around it.
Divine Remains, eternal, indestructible by any power below the divine.
Description: The remains of a Blood Clan God, possessing exceedingly special functions, a supreme treasure of the Bloodline.
Lide didn't expect that the Holy Spirit was actually the remains of a Blood Clan God.
This was more than astonishing; it utterly terrified him.
Could this be considered a real Divine Artifact?
The corpse of a divine being, if taken out, would likely cause a frenzy throughout the entire Nolan Empire.
Lide took a couple of deep breaths to calm his inner shock.
He looked at the attributes of the Holy Spirit again.
1. Inheritance, can transform a human into the Bloodline Ancestor (already used)
Without a doubt, this attribute allowed the originally human Bloodline Ancestor to transform into a true member of the Bloodline.
Unfortunately, it could only be used once.
2. Bloodline's Legacy, can maintain the vitality of human blood (range: 100-blade radius)
This attribute was like a blade cutting off the shackles around the necks of the Bloodline; without fresh human blood, the Bloodline could not survive.
But the existence of the Holy Spirit allowed the Bloodline to have freedom, capable of storing food like humans.
The significance of this was too immense; even this one attribute alone would be worthy of being called a supreme treasure.
3. Magic Power Surge, as a divine being, even in death, it could still attract magic power, constantly drawing magic power to gather around it.
In Lide's memory, there was a spell very similar to the function of this attribute.
Forbidden Curse—Magic Gathering, which could gather magic power within a narrow space, greatly increasing the efficiency of meditation for mages.
This was a Forbidden Curse that even Extraordinary Mages might not be able to master.
It did not have offensive power, but for mages, it was undoubtedly the most suitable auxiliary magic.
"It seems the milky white liquid in the blood pool is due to this attribute."
"Then, what functions do these blood liquids have?"
Driven by curiosity, Lide hurried forward to check.
The sudden appearance of the Divine Remains undoubtedly elevated the success rate of his plan to ninety percent.
If he could find more good stuff, it would be the best news for him.
Bending down, disregarding the fact that it was the Blood Clan Holy Land, he gently touched the milky white liquid with a finger.
Sure enough, a new attribute appeared on the attribute panel.
Magic Blood
Immediately restores 50 points of magic power upon drinking
Bloodline members regain body recovery speed by +1000% after drinking, capable of healing injuries.
Explanation: Blood soaked in the Bloodline Holy Object, filled with unimaginable energy.
Hiss~
These attributes.
Lide was once again shocked.
Blood soaked in magic power could no longer be called blood; it was more like an alchemy potion exclusive to the Bloodline.
Its effect was even much stronger than an alchemy potion.
The Divine Remains, worthy of being the remains of a divine being, still possessed unimaginable abilities even in death.
The value of this Holy Spirit was comparable to the treasure hoard of a giant dragon for the Bloodline.
It was undoubtedly a supreme treasure.
For the upcoming grand plan, he could now proceed with confidence.
"How long can the current blood storage in the blood pool sustain the clan members?"
Standing up, he turned his head and solemnly looked at Frey, who had always been in charge of guarding the blood pool, dressed in a blue noble robe.
This slender, aloof second-generation Bloodline was a mage with a level as high as lv9. In terms of strength, apart from Lide, he was the strongest in the Bloodline.
The other six second-generation Bloodline members were no match for Frey. His formidable combat strength made Lide highly value him, thus assigning him to guard the blood pool.
"Clan Leader, our reserves can sustain the current clan members for three years."
Hearing Frey's response, Lide nodded in satisfaction.
With enough food at home, he felt no panic; even if the plan failed, there was enough reserve to resist this risk.
"Very good. Continue to guard the blood pool. After tomorrow, for the next six months, you do not need to leave the Holy Land. This place is the root of our Holy Clan.
Frey, you are my most trusted child. Everything is entrusted to you."
Lide's young face looked somewhat awkward in comparison to Frey's thirty-some appearance, but no one found it inappropriate.
The other second-generation Bloodline members gazed at Frey with envy. Gaining such trust from the Clan Leader was a tremendous honor for any Bloodline member.
Frey's aloof face showed a hint of emotion, and he knelt on one knee.
His emerald eyes flashed with a trace of crimson, and he solemnly said: "At your command, Father, no one can desecrate the Holy Land unless they step over my corpse."
Lide nodded, helped Frey up, and then said with a heavy expression: "Build a separate room for the blood pool, sealing it off from the outside world.
From now on, no Bloodline member will drink Magic Blood directly from the blood pool.
It would be best to build several more rooms; the Holy Spirit and the blood pool cannot be exposed to the outside anymore.
Moreover, starting today, all Bloodline members are forbidden from discussing the Holy Spirit. I hope the Bloodline will forget the existence of the Holy Spirit."
The origin of the Divine Remains was too exaggerated, and the Bloodline had never discovered this fact before.
But the risk of leakage could not be ruled out.
Lide had realized the gravity of the situation. Divine Remains, just one Green City couldn't protect it, not even with an Extraordinary Mage guarding it.
It was too precious.
If this news got out, the Bloodline would face extinction in no time.
The few second-generation Bloodline members were somewhat surprised by Lide's serious expression, not understanding why Lide wanted to obscure the Holy Spirit that had been in the blood pool for over two hundred years.
But regardless of understanding, Lide's orders were absolute, and they had to be executed.
"That's settled, then. I believe you can find a way to resolve this. From now on, the news of the Holy Spirit will be the Bloodline's highest secret."
Lide waved his hand, not providing a detailed explanation.
The fewer people who knew about this matter, the safer it would be; it wasn't about doubting the loyalty of the Bloodline, but this was a world of magic.
Memory-probing spells were not just legends; Lide knew of no fewer than five, just that he hadn't had the chance to learn them.
"Yes, Father."
After dismissing everyone, Lide stayed by the blood pool for a long time. Finally, he suppressed his excitement, returning alone to the central manor of the castle.
In fact, the safety of the Holy Spirit did not need to be overly worried. The Holy Land had not only magic arrays and various magic traps laid out but also two one-way Transmission Arrays around the blood pool, procured at great cost by the Bloodline Ancestor.
Should an unstoppable enemy breach, the Bloodline guards would immediately activate the Transmission Array to send the Holy Spirit to a safe place.
Besides, if it really came to that, the Bloodline would probably be nearing extinction soon.
