Loras lay on the ground, looking weakly at Su Li.
His voice was hoarse, but his laughter was full of joy:
"Thank you, I owe you my life."
Su Li smiled slightly. After the brief encounter, he had a good impression of these young nobles.
At least they didn't complain or shrink back after the adventure failed. They were truly facing the magic potion.
They were worthy of being extraordinary individuals.
Seeing Su Li helping Loras up from the ground, Boone impatiently waved his hand and said to Lilith:
"Ghost girl, leave me now before I change my mind."
Lilith knew how fanatical Boone was about alchemy.
She was truly afraid that this black market overlord would impulsively kill Su Li and leave him here.
As a strong practitioner of life studies, even if he was only a Rank 6, Boone was probably more difficult to deal with than the ancient practitioner Turley.
"Dad, we're leaving. We'll come see you another day."
The previously cheerful and responsive father now seemed unreasonable like a madman. He turned his back, impatiently saying:
"Go away, now."
The four young nobles who had regained their lives couldn't understand their father's unpredictable mood. They could only express their thanks and follow Su Li and Lilith in putting on the faceless masks.
After leaving the underground black market, the group of six did not stop at the black market square.
They went straight up the stairs and returned to the Lucky House.
With the farewell of the boss, Taliesin, the group of them left the Lantern Night Market.
By now, the sky was turning pale.
The young nobles felt like they were dreaming.
In their world before coming here, extraordinary individuals were still unattainable existences.
But overnight, they witnessed the battles of extraordinary powerhouses.
They were contaminated by ancient evil creatures, visited the mysterious underground black market, and became extraordinary individuals through four different paths.
And all of this originated from Su Li and Lilith.
Riding the cable car, the four of them sincerely thanked the two Night Watchers.
"Thank you for fulfilling our dreams."
Lilith sighed and said softly:
"You have truly experienced it and know that this is not a good thing."
Loras and Joan of Arc said at the same time:
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"This is our own choice."
Simon also smiled and said:
"A mediocre life is not as exciting as an adventure."
Adjusting the cat-faced mask on his face, Lilith cautioned:
"Don't mention anything that happened yesterday to anyone. If you ever face the mysterious extraordinary world, always maintain awe and doubt. Remember the attitude of the Church towards extraordinary individuals."
Her words were not a joke. The few who had a preliminary understanding of the extraordinary world nodded.
Sitting in the cable car, Joan of Arc cautiously asked:
"Priest, who is the person who can summon ancient evil creatures? And what are the Ancient Practitioners?"
This was the same question Su Li wanted to ask.
Lilith answered solemnly:
"The most powerful organization on the continent, they are both righteous and evil. Their Church cannot be mentioned because 'every word is known'."
"In short, you all need to remember that the Ancient Practitioners are a group of long-lived individuals who have escaped control. It is said that their organization has existed for centuries, and the members of the organization are also extremely long-lived."
"Centuries?!"
Harrington exclaimed.
"Yes, this is not something that people like us can come into contact with at our current level." Lilith said.
Joan of Arc looked at Harrington and asked in a lower voice:
"What about the stone we dug up?"
Harrington shook his head and said:
"All I know is that it is an important gem that must be handed over to the Church. I don't know its specific use, but I do know that even a small piece of this stone is worth over a hundred thousand pounds."
Hearing Harrington's words, Su Li was shocked beyond measure.
What is the bloodstone used for?
Hearing the mention of the bloodstone, Lilith said in a low voice:
"That was dug up by Su Li and should belong to him. We saved your lives, and I hope you can swear to the gods never to mention this secret to anyone."
Joan of Arc looked at Lilith's expression and nodded, saying:
"We understand the principle of repaying kindness. We are willing to swear to the gods."
As each of them made their oath, Lilith nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Consider this oath as the reward for saving our lives. From now on, we owe each other nothing. Remember, the stone will be used up soon, and even if any of you become greedy, you won't get a penny."
She looked at Loras, the Viscount of the Solares family, who was closest to the Eternal Radiant Sun Church.
Loras quickly made another promise.
In mysticism, the oath made by an extraordinary individual to a deity is absolutely binding and cannot be violated, otherwise unimaginable retribution will befall them.
After leaving Budra, the group of six boarded the Grace of God and returned to the ship.
Dragging their exhausted bodies, the group briefly separated and each returned to their own cabins.
Lilith, on the other hand, took Su Li back to her room.
Su Li had too many questions to ask Lilith.Lilith made a stop gesture, she locked the door from inside, and quickly set up a massive spiritual wall.
"Bring out the bloodstone."
With confusion, Su Li took out the bloodstone and asked:
"What exactly is this thing? It's worth a rank five powerhouse risking everything to snatch it, and he killed all the adventurers right off the bat."
Lilith replied:
"This thing is a real treasure, only the cardinal bishops of the major churches are qualified to merge with it."
"That is to say, in our Sedray branch, only the former bishop of the hermitage, Richard Senor, and Mr. Mourinho are eligible to apply for fusion."
Su Li asked:
"So, what is it used for?"
Lilith shook her head and said:
"It is said that the bloodstone is an important treasure for humans to metamorphose into gods, to transform from humanity to divinity. Once this stone is absorbed, the extraordinary is no longer a human in the full sense, but a mythical creature."
"Normally, only rank four powerhouses, that is, demi-gods, saints, can possess divinity."
"But the bloodstone, even the lowest-ranked extraordinary, can also absorb!"
"The biggest benefit of absorbing this stone is to obtain an 'incomplete mythical creature form'!"
Su Li hesitated and asked:
"Incomplete mythical creature form?"
Lilith nodded and replied:
"Simply put, it is a qualitative change, a transformation from human to god."
He gasped.
This bloodstone, it sounds somewhat blasphemous.
"Anyway, such a treasure, only benefits can be encountered but not sought. Once you merge with it, you can better resist the erosion of the one inside you. Unfortunately, this thing is extremely rare. Mr. Mourinho wrote a letter to the church headquarters for you, but the church did not approve."
After listening to Lilith's introduction, Su Li smiled and handed the cut bloodstone to Lilith.
The other party looked at Su Li in confusion.
The latter smiled and said:
"Such a good thing, half for each!"
Lilith was surprised and asked:
"For me?!"
"Why?! You need it more than I do, and you dug it up."
Su Li waved his hand and laughed:
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know what this thing is, besides, we defeated the ancient Turley together."
"Let's absorb it together."
