Chapter 151 The Seal of the Sun
After returning to Twilight City, everyone heard that Kino had brought back a new person, and they all came to watch.
Among this group of men with an average height of 1.8 meters, Nicole, who is 1.5 meters tall, is like a short-legged cat that has strayed into a pack of wolves. She had to stand next to Chino so that she would not look out of place.
But not to mention, her petite figure and doll-like delicate appearance attracted many people, and frivolous whistles could be heard from time to time.
Nicole was introverted and followed Kino throughout the whole process, keeping her head down and saying nothing.
Kino first asked Nicole to rest in the hall while he took the servant to clean up the room.
Half an hour later, Kino took Nicole to the side house, opened one of the doors, and said, "This will be your bedroom from now on."
The layout of the room is simple yet exquisite. Although there are only some basic furniture, it is very decently arranged and does not look too fancy. The windows are facing the sun, and the sun shining into the room is very warm, giving people a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
.
Kino walked to the wall, pressed the hidden mechanism, opened a secret door in the house, and said: "This is a separate training room. It is completely enclosed after closing the door. It has excellent sound insulation and no one will disturb you. If you need it,
, you can practice here."
Nicole didn't expect that she would have the privilege of having a separate training room, so she quickly nodded to Kino and said, "Thank you, sir."
Kino said calmly: "You're welcome. The king gave you to me, and I will naturally treat you well. From today on, your name is Nicole Hircine, and you are nominally under my retainer, so you are not under the jurisdiction of the military commander.
All actions are directly responsible to me."
"Your mission is the same as in the palace. You train hard every day to improve your strength. When you travel, you serve as my close guard and complete all the orders I give. I don't like disobedient people, so when I give orders,
You can give timely advice, but don’t refute or question it, do you understand?”
Nicole: "Understood!"
Chino: "Well, go and get busy."
Kino left the side house and returned to his bedroom. He took a comfortable bath first, put on clean clothes, picked up the little black cat he hadn't seen for more than ten days, and then took out a pair of glasses from the space ring and put them on.
onto the face.
Alchemists in this world have invented lens technology, and glasses are commonplace items that can be bought in Tongyue, but most of them are clip-on glasses with copper clips stuck on the brim of the hat or temples. This look is what Kino came up with.
Very peculiar.
When the little black cat saw such strange glasses, he suddenly felt curious. He grabbed Chino's arm and kept climbing up, looking around and meowing, as if to say: What is this? Let me be healthy.
Kino picked up the little black cat by the scruff of his neck, pressed it on his lap, and then pressed the button on the side of the glasses.
In the eyes of outsiders, the mirror surface of this pair of glasses is transparent, and there is nothing special about it. At most, the shape is a bit strange.
But from Kino's perspective, arcs interweave on the mirrors of the glasses, forming a high-definition picture.
Obviously, this is a pair of high-tech glasses with double-sided imaging, which were often equipped with some special service organizations in previous lives. It only requires 2,000 respect points to redeem them in the respect system.
At this time, what was shown in the glasses was the panoramic view of Nico's training room, where Kino had installed a high-precision pinhole camera in advance, and Nico's every move was watched by him.
Nicole was very diligent. She placed her luggage and started practicing. With high-precision resolution, even one strand of her hair could be seen clearly.
However, Nicole's cultivation method is very strange. She does not shake her fists and feet in the air to exercise, nor does she meditate like the cultivators in the book.
I saw her hanging a Sun King's pendant on the wall - a very ordinary pendant that can be bought in the market for 5 copper months.
Immediately afterwards, she clasped her right hand on her heart, knelt down on one knee, and performed the knight's salute to the pendant. She remained in this kneeling position for 10 minutes, motionless, as if in meditation.
Soon, under Kino's watch, an astonishing scene happened.
"Glory to the sun..." As Nico murmured, a golden sun seal shone in the center of her forehead, and the bright lines spread along the veins to the whole body, causing waves of scorching ripples, and the body surface was rippled.
The golden flowing fire was ignited, and the whole person seemed to be burning.
What's even more surprising is that this golden flowing fire is not like a real flame and is not indiscriminately destructive. When it flows along the wooden floor, it does not cause burning, but is as warm and moist as water.
It keeps unfolding under Kou's will.
Nico kept murmuring "Glory to the Sun", and with each utterance, the golden fire became more turbulent, but its scale quickly reached its limit, only covering an area of 3 meters around Nico, and could no longer grow.
She seemed a little nervous, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She tried to maintain the scale of the golden fire, but she obviously failed. The flames roared and retracted the sun seal between her eyebrows.
As the divine seal dimmed and disappeared, everything returned to silence.
"Hey..." Nicole sighed, looked at the sun pendant, and muttered, "My faith is still not strong enough."
Kino looked at this scene, his mind was racing with thoughts.
The clan motto of the Doguland royal family is: "I am the flame, lighting the way forward."
Their solar power comes from their belief in the sun. The purer and pious the belief, the stronger the solar power.
This power principle is very strange. Kino doesn't know how to explain it with modern knowledge. Maybe there is nothing to explain. The rules of the two worlds are fundamentally different.
But obviously, the condition for obtaining the power of the sun is not just "faith", because many civilians also believe in the Sun King and are extremely devout, but they cannot use the scorching gold and fire like Neeko.
Kino guessed that the source of the power of the sun should be the "Sun Seal" that appeared between Nico's eyebrows just now, because all the golden and flowing fire flowed from the Seal.
As for how to obtain this kind of divine seal, it must be a royal secret. Asking Neeko now will only arouse her wariness, so she can only think about it in the long term.
Nicole's next training was to repeat the process just now. She couldn't see anything more, so Chino turned off his glasses and stopped staring.
He opened the calendar and glanced at the time.
Today is Dettol 11th. It has been a long time since the last reincarnation invasion. I don’t know when the next round of invasion will be and what kind of reincarnations we will face...
...
In the huge space, the sky above the head is a chaotic darkness, and stars are twinkling in the void. But if you look closely, you will find that they are not stars, but a tree shape formed by the intertwining of some ancient lines.
In the center of the space, an unimaginably huge "cube" stands like a Titan. Mottled light spots continue to flow and converge on the giant wall. The surging energy erupts like a stormy sea. The invisible space can be observed with the naked eye under the distortion of energy.
The invisible roaring waves kept roaring.
A young man wearing a shirt sat in front of the cube, turning a blind eye to the surging energy. Instead, he stared at the various desserts in front of him. He took a piece here, took a spoonful there, and ate more and more. He obviously had a serious problem.
Sugar addiction.
When the cube's energy fluctuations completed, lines of prompts appeared in front of the young man's eyes:
[The 46th reincarnation mission, starting the reincarnation hunting mode]
[Mission: Hunt the Arrogant World Rejectors]
[Your level evaluation has reached level 6, no free clues will be given]
[The team will depart in 504 hours, and this time will be displayed on the refuser's brand]
[The mission time is 168 hours, this time will not be known by the rejecter]
[The captain can choose whether to turn on reincarnation disguise, or invest reward points to unlock more information about the rejecters. 】
Densely packed cursors fell from the sky and gathered around the boy. Following the rapid printing of human bodies, his teammates walked out of the cursors, all of them fully armed.
A scar-faced man said solemnly: "I finally received the task of hunting down the rejecters. 11, what should I say?"
The boy named 11 was still eating dessert without raising his head: "Cube, I want to unlock further information about the rejecter."
[Consume D-level reward points to unlock the range of activities that the refuser can move. Do you want to unlock it? 】
11: "Unlocked."
[D-level clues - Refuser's range of activities: Doguland Kingdom, Beacon Province, Twilight City]
11: "Continue."
[Consume C-level reward points to unlock the identity information of the rejecter. Do you want to unlock it? 】
11: "Unlocked."
[C-level clue—Rejector’s identity: Twilight City Administrator]
11: "Continue."
[Consume B-level reward points to unlock the name of the rejecter. Do you want to unlock it? 】
Seeing this, Scarface hurriedly said: "11, is it enough to know the identity of the rejecter? For things like names, we can use the identity information to ask the local forces. There is no need to spend a B-level reward point."
"The name is very important to us." 11 slowly raised his head and looked directly at the huge cube without any hesitation, "Unlock."
[Level B clue—Rejector’s name: Kino Van Helsing]
At this moment, most of the reincarnators fell into a sluggish state.
After the initial daze, Scarface's eyes gradually became fanatical, and the scars on his face were filled with blood due to excessive excitement: "Finally..."
Chapter completed!
