Chapter 12: Promotion to Extraordinary
Half a year later, winter is gone and spring is here.
Flowers begin to bloom, trees sprout green branches and leaves, and clear bird calls float in the mountains and forests.
The name of the Fisher family has spread throughout the town of Nasir, especially the female spellcaster with healing abilities.
Carl has been silently observing and recording all the experiences of the Fisher family.
According to Lucius's suggestion, Irene acts as a "healing spellcaster".
The sea merchant John really has plans for long-term cooperation, and he helps Irene treat diseases for more than a dozen wealthy and powerful people in Nasir.
The Fisher family gradually accumulated a fortune, but now the Fisher family has more than a dozen servants, and the cost of hiring each servant is not small.
Lucius found the old blacksmith Raymond and made a set of tough full-body armor, a thickened breastplate, and a sharper and neater long sword.
Not only did he replace his own sophisticated equipment, he also trained five strong men among the servants as temporary guards for the Fisher family.
Byrne also bought a whole bookcase of books, and was addicted to reading every day, constantly absorbing knowledge.
However, the biggest expense of the family was still related to various supernatural powers. In order to become supernatural beings, they bought new supernatural materials from sea merchants twice, and obtained "Eye Demon Skin" and "Ghost Blue Fish Fins" respectively.
At present, the remaining active funds of the Fisher family totaled about fifteen gold coins. Byrne proposed to invest part of the money.
He observed carefully for half a year and speculated that the business of medicine would gradually become popular in Nasir soon, because there were purple-red fish around the ocean. According to the book, every time they appeared, infectious diseases would spread on the east coast.
Irene and Lucius finally decided to take out five gold coins to try.
Chris, who was just turning over in the cradle, can now crawl slowly on the ground. The white-haired little guy has become the mascot of the whole family, and almost everyone likes him.
Three months ago, the Fisher family obtained the "Ghost Blue Fin" through trading with the sea merchants, and then the second person to be promoted to a supernatural person was Irene.
The long step to godhood she was promoted to was the "God Sacrifice Road".
The God Sacrifice Road is completely different from the Conquest Road. Carl has copied a completely different supernatural law in the "Stars" of the spiritual world.
In the "Stars", there is a priestess who kneels on the ground and prays constantly, with tears in her eyes, as if she is hoping that the gods can come down to show mercy.
From now on, as long as people in the world of Clad master the potion formula, they can embark on this new long step to godhood.
The first step of the "God Sacrifice Road" is "Servant", and the supernatural characteristics obtained are "God Worship" and "Malicious Perception".
People with the "God Worship" supernatural characteristic can choose a god they truly worship, and they can contact the will of the god by chanting his name every day, thereby obtaining the exclusive blessing of the god.
"Malicious Perception" can perceive any malicious person or thing within a five-meter range, and the perception range can be expanded after the spiritual power is improved.
Without a doubt, without any hesitation, Irene chose the Lord of Lost as the object of her worship.
In addition, Irene's physical fitness has been improved to a very small extent, which is the bottom line given by all the long steps of ascension.
Lucius, who embarked on the road of conquest, his spiritual power increased by about 30% and his physical fitness increased by 100%.
And Irene is almost the opposite, her physical fitness increased by 30%, and the spiritual power contained in her soul increased by 100%.
"The Road of Sacrifice" can almost be regarded as the weakest long step of ascension in the early stage, but the future is promising, and the powerful power obtained in the later stage is unquestionable.
A month ago, the Fisher family bought the "Eye Demon Skin" sold by foreign merchants, and Byrne was the third person in the Fisher family to embark on the extraordinary road.
"The Road of Knowledge"
Carl also chose the most suitable road for Byrne from the thirteen long steps of ascension in his mind.
The digestion sequence power depends on the compatibility. The more the personality of the extraordinary person matches, the shorter the time allowed for the digestion sequence power to advance to the next stage.
If Byrne were to follow the path of conquest, he would probably not be qualified for the second stage for more than ten years.
The extraordinary law of the expansion of the knowledge path is a wise and elderly old man in the "stars". That figure would even greedily and curiously peek outside the "stars".
The first step of the knowledge path is the "recorder", and the extraordinary characteristics obtained are "deep memory" and "sketch".
"Deep memory" means that the recorder can have a photographic memory, even if it is something seen several years ago, every detail can be clearly remembered.
"Sketch" means that the recorder has an extremely accurate depiction ability, and any scene, thing, and creature heard or seen can be presented in the form of painting.
And any scene, thing, and creature depicted by the recorder will become easier to destroy, unless someone destroys the sketch.
Lucius and Byrne and his son cooperated to try it. The hardness of the stone drawn by the sketch will become like black bread in the material world, and ordinary people can break it with their bare hands.
There is no doubt that "Sketch" can become a powerful auxiliary type of supernatural ability in battle.
The spiritual power of "Recorder" is higher, even close to the "Attendant" of the God Sacrifice, and the physical fitness is slightly higher than that of "Attendant".
The power gained from the first step of the God-ascending Long Steps is still far behind the first level of traditional superhumans.
Carl judged that they would have to reach the second step before they could match the superhuman power of the first level of traditional superhumans.
He knew that the God-ascending Long Steps had twelve steps, while the traditional superhuman levels on the Oden Continent only had five.
Even if a superhuman reached the fifth level, he could not be compared with the gods.
It is obvious that the upper limit of the late sequence power is higher!
Although the three people of the Fisher family have become superhumans, the identities of the two people except Irene have not been exposed for the time being.
——
Lucius, wearing a breastplate, came to the alley in the eastern city of Nasir. The young man in a black robe in front of him was a wine dealer, smiling and looking around to see if there were any outsiders.
"I have bought wine from you several times in the past six months. It is really delicious and unforgettable. Is it true that you have a channel for smuggling wine?"
Lucius narrowed his eyes and looked at the young wine dealer in front of him, and continued: "If there is still smuggled wine, I am willing to buy a few boxes. The Fisher family is willing to cooperate. Do you really have a stable channel?"
The wine dealer smiled and nodded, saying:
"Don't worry, I definitely didn't lie to you. After all, I still have a younger brother to support, and I will never give up any way to make money."
He was as relaxed as talking to a good friend.
"Mr. Lucius, please come with me."
"Okay!"
Lucius followed the young wine dealer with excitement. The two came to the port outside the town of Nasir together and gradually came to the vicinity of a warehouse.
"It's here." The young wine dealer said.
Suddenly, Lucius stopped, suddenly pulled out the sharp blade in his hand, and dodged to the side at the same time.
A thrown axe brushed past him and hit the door of the warehouse.
Soon Lucius saw who the attackers were. They were three jungle natives wearing animal skins and with black stripes on their faces.
"I've got them!"
The young wine dealer turned and ran away, fleeing in panic and leaving the place immediately. He was obviously in collusion with the jungle natives.
"It's you, so that's it. Have you guys who eat dirt in the jungle finally noticed it?"
Lucius smiled and narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew the bodies buried near the wooden house and what happened that night.
The mysterious existence believed by the jungle natives is the so-called bloody demon, and they also call themselves the Blood Cult.
He knew there would be a possibility of revenge.
Half a year later, the jungle natives finally came to the Fisher family to seek revenge.
