Willie didn't know whether Yevan was a believer in the Church of Light, but Ian was able to confirm Yevan's identity. He was a fanatical believer who was willing to sacrifice everything for his beliefs.
This information comes from Hunter's Obelisk.
In the church, his wrist was slightly hot. A blood-stained dagger was nailed to the ground in the virtual space of the hunter's obelisk. The blood left by the blade drew the ancient phrase "Death to fanatics" on the ground. Da Duanna
The bloody words written in Viya are inexplicably cruel.
There is no doubt that this image similar to the game animation CG has activated a certain mechanism of Hunter's Obelisk.
The hunter's obelisk, which had been silent for a long time, was activated again, aiming to take away at least one living life, or...soul.
Just as he was thinking about the purpose and triggering mechanism of the hunter's obelisk, a dazzling red light suddenly flashed on the tall stone monument, and a few lines of writing quickly appeared under Ian's identity information.
"Identity: Junior Hunter Ian Hyde"
"Rank: Awakened (Wizard)"
"Achievements: 1"
"Trophy: Altar of the Dead (False)"
"Reward: Hunter's Broadblade (magic item, deprives the spokesperson of luck, burns the power of faith.) How to make it"
The above was the original message. After the strange red light went out, the following content appeared, which was shocking.
"Bounty: Judgment Coming (Level 4)"
"Content: Kill the light fanatic Yewen, prevent him from returning to the outer plane after his death, strip off the heart of the fanatic, and send him to the plane of the dead to reincarnate in place of the plane laws."
"Reward: Permanently increase the hunter's energy storage limit by 10%, erosion talent formula (perfect level), achievement plus one."
He had always thought that the obelisk was only aimed at the spokesmen of the gods, but it was not until now that he discovered that this inference was wrong.
Because the Hunter's Obelisk showed a more determined intention to kill the fanatical believers than it did the spokesperson, at least it never issued an order to kill Gervas from the beginning to the end.
That was just Ian's choice. The reward he gave afterwards was more like an encouragement, far from being compulsory.
When facing Conlia and her daughter, the obelisk showed strong feelings of disgust. It was not at all like a cold stone tablet or the emotional expression that a mechanized "system" should have.
But now, a death order has been directly issued, which is really puzzling. Therefore, until now, he still does not understand the true purpose of this obelisk.
Spokesperson of the gods and fanatical believer - does the Bone Burial Saint behind the obelisk intend to make enemies of the gods?
A huge reward for Ian was engraved on the obelisk. This rough and crude "Hunter System", which can be called a failure, proactively issued a mission for the first time, and the content frightened Ian.
But what frightened him was not the fact that the Hunter's Obelisk actively issued a mission, nor the fact that the hunted target Yewen was a fanatical believer. It was its mission reward: a permanent increase in the upper limit of energy storage by 10%, and the erosion of the perfect talent formula.
For Ian, or a wizard at this stage of awakening, the reward of permanently increasing the upper limit by 10% can only be regarded as okay and not very attractive.
After all, the upper limit of energy that most awakened people can store in their bodies is not much different. If you have to use numbers to explain it, the upper limit of ordinary awakened people is 1, the lowest is only 0.6 to 0.7, and the highest is only 2. Calculated in this way, even if it increases
Ten percent, the lowest is only 0.66, the highest is only 2.2, and overall it is around 1.1.
Therefore, when their stored energy is close to saturation, everyone's strength is also about the same (after all, the magic items and magic that awakened people can master at this stage are within a certain range, and there are no supernormal magic or items.) Therefore, it increases by a percentage.
Ten out of ten cannot really bring about a qualitative change in the awakened person.
However, as the wizard's realm continues to improve, their body's tolerance limit for positive and negative energy will gradually increase. Therefore, this reward can only truly show its advantages in the later stages of the wizard's life. For Ian, it can only be regarded as better than nothing at present.
.
Only the latter perfect corrosion talent formula is the most valuable, more useful than any high-level magic spells and items.
To be promoted from an awakened person to a gifted person, wizards need to activate or transplant "talents": either ancestral abilities contained in the bloodline, or powerful magic converted into formulas (including some powerful and transplantable abilities).
Once a wizard completes any item, they will be promoted immediately, their survivability will be greatly improved in a short period of time, and they can be called true wizards.
After all, the word "witch" represents taboos and rules. A wizard is a person who confronts, destroys, and controls taboos and rules. How can one bear this title without extraordinary power?
Among the two conditions for a wizard to be promoted for the first time, talent has no strong or weak grades, because wizards are never superstitious about ranks; and the transformed transplant formula is divided into ordinary and excellent according to its different effects after "transplantation".
, perfect third class...
The ordinary formula enables the wizard to use 60% of the effectiveness of the original talent, and has various defects and limitations; the excellent formula is 80%, with only defects and no restrictions; the perfect formula is 100%, with no restrictions and no defects, and
The original talent, the same blood inheritance, the effect is incredible.
In the main plane, a common formula is hard to find, and wizards without original talent are flocking to it. Even if there are flaws and limitations, the effect after transplantation is not satisfactory, but this is the only way for them to promote themselves as talented people.
, for the group of wizards who pursue power and secrets, this price is nothing.
Excellent-level formulas are even more priceless and priceless, let alone perfect-level formulas—those are only a few in the main plane.
For example, Jasmine Felix's father's family is one of the oldest families in the Kingdom of Camelot. They have good relations with the royal family and have a huge power spread around Devon County.
Every one or two centuries, a middle-to-high-level wizard will appear in the family. With such power, even a being like Hyderian who transcends the country will take a high look and give considerable respect.
But Ian knew that even for such a large family, they did not have a perfect transplant formula. In the Kingdom of Camelot, perhaps only the kingdom and a few monasteries would treasure one or two.
This is the preciousness of a perfect formula.
But now a light believer is worth a perfect formula, which is obviously unreasonable.
Then the difficult part of the mission should appear in the second half of the mission, sending him to reincarnation.
As a dark wizard, Ian already knew something about the plane of the undead during his apprenticeship. He knew that it was the place where all living things went after death, and that it was also the place where ancient dark gods such as the God of Death, Iapetus, first ascended to the gods.
The common territory of the dark gods.
According to the rules of the main plane, after death, the soul of a living being should be automatically excluded to the plane of the undead and reincarnated as an undead, but there are a few exceptions in a few cases, one of which is a devout religious believer.
The gods of this world are real, and the Kingdom of Gods headed by the three main gods also exists, where believers belong after death. After the death of devout believers, there are divine envoys to help them block the laws of the planes and guide them back to the Kingdom of God.
, to avoid becoming an ignorant undead that is thirsty for bloodshed.
This is one of the reasons why all religious believers, including dark believers, worship devoutly.
Therefore, preventing the return and reincarnation of the undead is the focus of this bounty, and it is also the most difficult part.
In this process, we must face the divine messenger who will guide him. Although it is just a projection, it is enough to kill Ian hundreds of times. He is not stupid.
So he didn't plan any action.
When they returned to the church, he and Jasmine went back to rest. Before they left, they told Willy to go back and prepare for the negotiations in three days. During this process, they never asked for any information about Yewen and just pretended that they didn't know about it.
Although the formula is good, its strength is poor.
Instead of thinking about completing the mission, it is better to place hope on one's own blood. This possibility is estimated to be much greater.
The only thing he is glad about now is that this is not a mandatory task, otherwise he would definitely cry without tears.
People often die from greed!
…
The next day, after serving breakfast to Alfo, Ian saw Jasmine in the corridor from a distance. She seemed to have recovered after a day's rest, and she was not as weak as yesterday at all.
Ian noticed a group of people (five) following her.
Walking in front of her side by side was a young man with a tall figure and fine blond curly hair. His high-profile and eye-catching red suit showed the owner's character. The arrogance on his face was exactly the same as Jasmine's.
But maybe because he is a man, this face is particularly annoying in Ian's eyes, even though he is indeed handsome.
"Is this the person sent by the Yinguang family?" Ian muttered from a distance, with no intention of going over.
The aristocratic boy was very arrogant, and he always used guns and sticks in his words, which made people nervous. He didn't have the tendency to be abused, so he ducked into the room, even though he had already seen the curious eyes of the man, he almost
Ask who this person is.
After Ian slipped away, Solansi's eyes flickered slightly and he casually asked Jasmine: "Dear cousin, who is that person? He doesn't seem to like me very much?"
"Him?" Jasmine raised the corner of her mouth slightly and answered "Ian Hyde" honestly: "Ian Hyde, the famous wood in the monastery, is not close to anyone, is arrogant, and is extremely difficult to get along with. My brother later met him and still invited me.
Be a little more tolerant, after all, you are my companion."
"Oh!" Solance replied casually and did not continue to find topics on Ian. After all, he came here to make trouble for his cousin.
As for making concessions, as the current sixth heir of the Felix family, an awakened person is not qualified enough to require him to make concessions.
…
The next day, Jasmine knocked on Ian's door early and asked him to deal with Willy's affairs with her.
This meeting was a three-party negotiation, with her cousin Solance Felix as the referee, responsible for expressing the position of the Felix family at the last moment to help.
From Jasmine's words, he could tell that the attitude of the Felix family or her cousin was purely perfunctory.
I have no intention of sincere cooperation at all, so I probably just want to give Jasmine face before leaving.
Shortsighted!
Ian has no dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Felix family, nobles are born like this.
This is good, so that his equity can at least be preserved, which shows that they have no intention of intervening in this deal. Although the Felix family is just making a statement, it is also the statement of the largest family in Devon County, which has extraordinary significance.
.
At least it was more than enough to scare the Light Priest of Appleton.
