"Is it resolved?"

Alfred's eyes were glowing red as he looked towards the direction of the master bedroom on the third floor of the castle, and he answered seriously:

"Young master, the lights are out."

"I can see that too."

"Yes, young master."

"I think since our ancestors are gone, there shouldn't be a problem. Our ancestors wouldn't let our people become food for others." Mike said, "Although we descendants are not very capable, our ancestors are still our ancestors. I came to this conclusion by putting myself in our ancestor's position."

Mr. Bede spoke up, "The aura that just appeared on our ancestor was terrifyingly strong. If even he couldn't resolve it, then tonight will be a disaster for the Allen Manor."

Karun glanced at Mr. Bede and asked, "So, you can't resist the urge to paint again?"

Mr. Bede smiled and didn't say anything.

Ignoring societal norms, witnessing the destruction of their home, and painting while watching, could indeed produce excellent works of art.

At this moment, a mist flew over from the castle towards them. Wherever it passed, the view became distorted.

"Our ancestor is here."

Mike got off his wheelchair again and knelt down on the ground.

Mr. Bede did the same and knelt down.

Then, two mists flowed out from the main road, each carrying Mike and Mr. Bede and throwing them far away.

Although they were very respectful to their ancestor, their ancestor was so disgusted with them that he didn't even want to see them.

Immediately, the mist in the main road stopped in front of Karun. The mist dissipated completely, revealing the figure of Count Riker. Puerh was sitting on Count Riker's shoulder.

Karun, who was still a bit uneasy, finally felt relieved when he saw Puerh coming along.

Puerh jumped off Count Riker's shoulder and ran to Karun's side, then jumped onto his shoulder as usual.

Turning her head, she deliberately glared at the golden retriever lying on the ground next to her.

The golden retriever wagged its tail in confusion, not knowing what it had done to offend her.

"Young master Karun."

After hearing Count Riker change his title for him, Karun showed a natural smile and responded, "My lord."

At this moment, Count Riker knelt down on one knee in front of Karun.

"The Allen family is grateful for your protection!"

"You don't have to do this, please stand up."

"This is necessary. The Allen family will repay your kindness!"

Count Riker pounded his chest with his fist.

"Unfortunately, I am about to be completely destroyed and cannot repay your kindness. But my people will definitely continue to serve you."

"If possible, we can sit down and talk. I'm not very comfortable with this kind of occasion."

"Okay, I'll follow your orders."

Count Riker changed from kneeling to sitting, crossing his legs.

Karun also sat down, but he could clearly feel that the other party's figure was tall.

"You can sit on a chair." Count Riker said.

"No need."

"Okay." Count Riker extended his fist and smashed it on the ground in front of him. "Bang!" A depression appeared on the ground, and now Count Riker, sitting in the depression, was at eye level with Karun.

After seeing this scene, Karun was certain that Count Riker must have had a rich conversation with Puerh.

If at first, the other party treated him as a powerful bishop of the Order of the Gods, then now, he treated him as the future of the Allen family.Although Count Lecar is now very powerful, powerful enough that he could almost kill himself without any effort, he is still "dying" soon.

Of course, some people, when faced with this situation, would choose to indulge more recklessly;

But some people would choose to do something for their living family as much as possible.

Obviously, Count Lecar chose the latter.

"Young Master Karun..."

"Just call me Karun."

Puerh looked at Karun with some confusion. Why does he treat me differently than he treats Lecar? We both have the same seniority. Soon, Puerh figured it out, it's a matter of strength.

So, she only dared to touch her own belly, but didn't dare to touch Lecar's belly now!

"No, this title cannot be changed. I know that useless Anderson... No, the clan leader Anderson also addressed you this way. In the clan, all clan leaders are the biggest."

"The current clan leader is Mr. Bede."

"Oh? Where is he?"

"Just thrown out by you."

"Oh, haha." Count Lecar laughed, "I have solved Gloria IX's problem."

As he spoke, Count Lecar took out a piece of ice.

Puerh was ready to jump off Karun's shoulder to get it, but another figure was faster than her.

Alfred delivered the ice wrapped in black seeds from Count Lecar's hand to Karun. When Karun wanted to touch it, Alfred whispered, "Young Master, this ice is not ordinary ice. Be careful of frostbite."

In fact, frost traces had already appeared on Alfred's palm.

"Keep it safe." Karun ordered.

"Yes, Young Master." Alfred immediately went to find something to store it.

"Please rest assured, Young Master. Even if this ice is placed on the square in summer, it will not melt. It is sealed inside and very safe. If you want to melt it, you can use magic or the temperature of lava."

"Okay, I understand. Actually, I still don't know what it is."

"It is a seed of light."

"A seed of light?"

"Yes, it may surprise you to call it that, but it is indeed a seed of light.

Legend has it that two eras ago, there were many such seeds in a kingdom. They absorbed the blood of humans and livestock to grow. Because their branches and vines were black, they covered the sun when they grew up, completely shrouding that kingdom in darkness.

So the people there called for the arrival of light while avoiding the suction of the black vines.

Then, the god of light appeared?"

"Yes, the Church of Light was born in that kingdom at that time. People gathered together because of their yearning for light and declared war on this man-eating darkness together.

Finally, the god of light descended and completely defeated and uprooted the darkness.

In the "Era of Light," when describing this story, these seeds were called seeds of light, not because they were the seeds of the god of light, but because of a positive and upward attitude:

When darkness appears on the earth, there is no need to be afraid because light is also coming soon!"

"Your explanation and non-explanation are no different." Karun smiled.

Before the explanation, he felt that this seed was closely related to the god of light; after the explanation, he felt even more so.

"A real interpretation of scriptures is different for everyone."

"Does Count Lecar like to read these books?" Karun asked curiously."Yes, because the life of a pirate is often very boring. You cannot always have enemies in front of you, nor can you always stay in a brothel on shore. Normally, you may have to wander for two or three months before encountering a real target. So, I got used to reading books at that time."

"I heard that this seed originated from the sea chart you left behind back then."

"That was my mistake." Count Lekar directly admitted, "I discovered a deep abyss in the deep sea back then. I tried to explore it, but I couldn't go deep, and I sensed the danger inside. On the way back, I casually drew that sea chart, marking the location of that abyss. Because the life of a pirate is very boring, drawing sea charts is actually a game that you play with future generations. Just thinking that future generations might fight for your sea chart, and then go through all sorts of hardships to search for treasure, only to dig out a box containing a pair of worn underwear! Haha, how interesting that would be!"

"Well..."

"Because we were often fooled by senior pirates like this, we decided to follow this tradition after being fooled. But that sea chart was obviously not it." Karun reminded.

"I thought it was useless at the time, only dangerous. Coincidentally, after Gloria finished serving me, I didn't have a suitable piece of jewelry, but as a pirate, we couldn't take the money from the prostitutes. After all, their lives are not easy either. So, I solemnly divided the sea chart that I thought was useless into two parts, gave one part to her, and told her it was a mysterious treasure. The other part I brought back to my family. In fact, I just casually threw that part into my luggage. But who knew that many years after my death, the people of the Gloria family actually came to the Allen family with that half of the map, and my descendants really found the other half of the map that I had casually thrown away. Then the two families formed a sailing team and searched for the treasure I left behind according to the map's index."

"But they did indeed gain a lot." Karun said.

In addition to this bright seed, there was also the finger of the God of Light.

"Their losses must have been great, and I even suspect that the reason why both families are now declining may be because of their actions back then, which cursed their bloodlines."

The decline of the Allen family is obvious; in strict sense, the Gloria family has also been declining for hundreds of years. Although the queen needed to sleep with Count Lekar to gain the support of the pirates back then, the royal family was really able to control the military and politics of the empire at that time. The queen at that time was really a queen. But now, the royal family has only the role of a mascot. For today's politicians, the existence of the queen only represents the maintenance of the legal system of the Wein Empire. If the queen is gone, many affiliated countries and colonies under the Wein Empire will probably want to declare independence.

Of course, the queen is no longer there now.

"That may be part of the reason." Karun agreed. He understood that as the ancestor of this family, Count Lekar saw the family as his own child, and how many parents can accept the fact that their child is mediocre? So, they always find various reasons for it.What reason could be more appropriate than my child being cursed and becoming so stupid? It's difficult to prove and difficult to solve.

Count Rekall took out a piece of cloth, and Alfred stepped forward again to take the cloth.

This piece of cloth was probably torn from Count Rekall's clothes, and the quality was good. It was evident that Count Rekall's clothes had not decayed despite being buried for so long.

"This is a new map I drew, marking that location. I believe the young master can decide when to go there."

"Okay."

"Because I haven't really been down there, I can't give you too much advice because I'm afraid my guess will mislead you."

"You worry too much." Karun smiled.

"Thank you for your trust."

Hmm, Count Rekall misunderstood Karun's meaning. He wasn't interested in this "adventure," so this map would probably be left unused.

"Actually, if possible, I really hope to sail personally and take you, young master, to see it. The depths there may very well be where the God of Light fell."

"It's a pity." Karun sighed.

"Not a pity." Count Rekall smiled. "Because I'm already dead. How many people in this world can be like me, dead for so long and still come back to see the world?"

"You're very open-minded."

"You flatter me, young master."

"There's one more thing I need to explain to you."

"Please speak."

"Younis is very talented."

"Oh, really?" This was indeed a pleasant surprise for Karun. "That's great news."

"I have given her family a blessing. She may be a bit lazy in the next six months to digest the power in her bloodline."

"Is it to pass on the power to her child?"

"Yes, young master, you are right. But I want to remind you that during this period, if she can get pregnant, her bloodline can be inherited to a greater extent by the child. Therefore, this half year is the best time to conceive."

Puerh, sitting on Karun's shoulder, couldn't help but cover her cat face with her paw:

I can't stand it anymore. This is too ridiculous.

"It's not urgent because we're still young," Karun said.

"How can you not be urgent when it concerns your bloodline inheritance?" Count Rekall frantically tried to remedy his previous mistake.

Especially Karun's words, "We're still young," which Count Rekall himself used to say often, usually as a habit of trying to shirk responsibility after pulling up his pants.

"I don't know if Puerh...Pall has introduced you to my grandfather?"

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

"Your grandfather is a great man."

"My grandfather hopes that our family can live a peaceful life as ordinary people. I want the same for my children. I hope to ask him myself when he's older, instead of deciding for him from the beginning."

"Yes, young master, you are wise."

At this time, a faint light appeared in the sky, like the belly of a capsized fish.

Count Rekall looked down at his body, then slowly stood up and said, "Young master, my time is almost up. Also, it's a shame to leave my body in the tomb. You can have someone take it away for forging, whether as a souvenir or to make weapons. It's very suitable material."

"You don't have to do this." Karun also stood up."I'm just telling the truth, because as you know, I will completely leave later. There is nothing to worry about facing something without spirituality.

However, it is also thanks to your blessing that I discovered after being awakened that I have reached the level of the ancestor Allen due to the accumulation of death energy.

To be precise, it has reached the level of the water attribute of the ancestor Allen."

"Promoted?" Karun exclaimed.

"Yes, the top level of the water attribute is death, which is a very speechless result. To reach the top level, one has to die. What is the meaning of this top level?"

Count Rekall spread his palm, and a circle of frost condensed on it.

"The top level of the water attribute path is death, which can freeze or indulge everything."

Count Rekall put away his palm and walked towards his tomb: "Young master, I'm going down."

"Take care," Karun said.

"Well, it's an honor to meet you and talk to you." Count Rekall walked to the edge of the tomb and looked at the broken tomb above him. "I think there should be a door that can be opened from the inside in the construction of the family tomb in the future. This will be much more convenient, and it can also be used when going down again."

"I will suggest it to Old Anderson."

"Thank you, young master."

Count Rekall looked around again.

"I have to say goodbye to you again. I have traveled the world and the sea. Unfortunately, I could not see you after awakening this time."

After speaking, Count Rekall jumped into his tomb, and there was a "bang" from below.

Karun breathed a sigh of relief. Although Count Rekall was very polite to him, he did give him a lot of pressure.

There was something Karun had been holding in his heart, that was, when Count Rekall climbed out of the grave and ran to the third floor of the castle to find the queen, Karun had a premonition that the other party actually wanted to turn around and punch him to death.

"Alas." Puerh shook her head. "It's a pity, this scum."

"Yeah."

Karun nodded. In order to help the family and himself establish a good relationship, the pirate who could say that he would use his bones to forge weapons was indeed a scum, but still somewhat cute from his point of view.

Unfortunately, although the chain had turned red when he awakened him, indicating that there might be other colors and even corresponding patterns and functions that could be used, Karun could not do that now. He was too far away from that step.

Since Count Rekall was awakened, the spiritual energy in his body would inevitably dissipate continuously, and this was an irreversible process.

Therefore, Count Rekall could only return to dust and soil.

Alas,

If only he could freeze or pause himself.

Huh?

Karun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Count Rekall's words:

"The top level of the water attribute path is death, which can freeze or indulge everything."

Could he try to freeze himself to block the dissipation of spiritual energy?

Karun immediately turned around and ran towards the tomb, and Puerh couldn't hold on and fell off Karun's shoulder.

Soon,

Karun came to the gap above the tomb, and shouted down from the edge:

"Count, are you dead yet?"

If he was already dead, then there was no way.

"Uh...not yet."
