Secret: Storm Pigeons are still Storm Pigeons

Chapter 253 Old Blue: "The Fool" Russell wants to be resurrected from you. Klein: ...

Backlund Bridge District, near the Brave Bar.

"...You asked a good question. Why are you the 'God's Blessed One'..." Old Blue scratched his head. What happened to Klein? Why did he start to question the "God's Blessed One"? Suspicious of the goddess? Why not suspect me?

"Klein, do you know the 'talent' in the Extraordinary realm?" Old Blue decided to start fooling around.

"'Talent'?" Klein was shocked. He knew! In his diary, Roselle described a member of the "Sauron Family" named Floran. Floran had boasted to Roselle that he was the most promising person of the generation of the Soran Family to achieve a High Sequence because he looked a lot like his great-great-grandfather! Being a lot like him meant being very "talented"!
"It seems that you understand this concept," Old Blue nodded.

"Once a Beyonder reaches Sequence 4, they can be identified as Demigods. At this point, their spirits become extremely powerful, and often in turn affect the potion in their bodies, deeply engraving their own mark in it.

"Combining this with the 'Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics', what do you think of?"

"...The Beyonders who use these Beyonder characteristics to advance will undoubtedly be influenced by their predecessors... Because we are promoted, and those Beyonder characteristics are bound to be one level higher than us... Huh...

“So it’s better not to use Beyonder characteristics to advance? Wouldn’t it be less of an impact if you collected the ingredients for the potion yourself…” Klein asked after making some connections.

"Perhaps, but... you have to understand that the 'Path of God' is a pyramid. There is only one person at the top, and there are not many below. Most of the potions of the higher paths have become 'Extraordinary Characteristics'...

"Well, Creste Cecima, you should see him often, right? He is called the 'Sword of the Goddess'... That 'Bone Sword' is a 'holy object', that is, a high-sequence Beyonder characteristic...

"Why do you think he could become the 'Sword of the Goddess' instead of Dunn or Daly?" Old Blue gave a vivid example.

“…Because of ‘talent’?” Klein’s eyes flashed with disbelief, and then he was somewhat enlightened. Being recognized by a holy object… It is known that “holy objects” are formed by the extraordinary characteristics of demigods. The spirit of “demigods” is strong, and the imprint left in the creatures makes the “holy objects” have the characteristics of being alive… So, being recognized by a holy object means being recognized by the imprint of a demigod from ancient times? ! And the reason for being recognized by the imprint is actually that this person is very similar to that demigod! Ghost story? !
And that "Floran"...seems to have become a mental patchwork? Klein was immediately shocked and asked hurriedly:
"So the potion that Master Cecima used the 'holy object' to mix would be affected by the spirit of the 'demigod'? Then why is there still a need for ..."

Old Bruce smiled and said:
"So did you see that Cecima was promoted? He... well, you should know his identity better than me. According to his 'merits', heh, it's more than enough to exchange for two bottles of demigod potion.

"The church also does not want those who come after to be defeated by the will of the 'dead', so it lets those who are qualified to handle the holy objects control them in advance, live with them day and night, and use time to wear away their will...

“This phenomenon is common in many organizations, but… very few people really understand why they do this, and now you know it.

"Associating this phenomenon with yours, do you have a new understanding of 'God's Favored Ones'?"

Klein's throat was dry and he spoke hoarsely:
"Because I... am very 'talented', very much like a certain 'God's Chosen One' in the history of the Goddess Church?! So I was chosen...

"This really... puts me at ease."

Old Bruce straightened his face and said seriously:
"No, I don't think so."

"Ah?" Klein didn't expect Old Blue to deny his reasonable speculation... But when he heard the next words, his expression could no longer hold back:
“I think,” Old Blue looked at Klein with an inexplicable look, and said, “You may not look like someone in the Goddess Church, but like... your ancestor ‘Emperor Roselle’. That’s why the Goddess chose you because you may inherit the talent of that emperor…”

“Fuck!” Klein blurted out, and then asked awkwardly, “Why do you say that?”

"First of all, Emperor Roselle is most famous not for being the 'Son of Steam', but for being... amorous, open, and popular with women...

"Through my recent observations, I think you have this potential..." Old Blue spoke nonsense seriously.

“…No, I personally think I’m quite loyal…” Klein’s expression twisted. How did he become “yellow waste” Roselle? Am I promiscuous? !
"Secondly, your ancestor is Roselle, and talent is inherited through blood... This is a very normal thing," Old Blue was convinced, and then continued:

"And the most important thing," Old Blue built another spiritual wall and looked around before speaking carefully:
"Because Emperor Roselle himself, Mr. Fool, is also looking after you!"

Shit! Klein wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he act so impulsively and think he was Roselle's descendant?! Now this misunderstanding... If The Fool is not Roselle, then he must be Roselle!

"But you have to be careful," Old Blue reminded seriously:

"Many people with 'talents' are crushed by the spirit of the 'ancestor'. In the end, he becomes that ancestor...

“The advancement of Extraordinary people in the church is generally slow... This is also a consideration.

"But if the path you take is different from that of your ancestors... then it will be a little better..."

“…Yes, is that so… Then I’ll take the ‘Fortune Teller’ path…” Klein breathed a sigh of relief. Roselle took the ‘Generalist’ path…

No, that's not right! Klein suddenly realized that he really regarded Russell as his ancestor? He should not be comparing with Russell! This was just a guess made by Old Blue due to incomplete information!

The person he should benchmark himself against is a "fortune teller" in the Goddess Church in the past thousand years! Maybe the Goddess also gave him a gift back then!
Phew! Klein breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was the "gift" that came out of nowhere, because he might not be able to pay the "price" corresponding to the "gift" in the future!
And now, the "God's Favored One" corresponds to a certain "God's Favored One" in history, and the church has not forced me to destroy my own will and become him... Then, I have a chance! Even if I may have to face the corresponding seal in the future!
"Willpower, hone your willpower," Old Blue nodded his head and said, "When you use that person's 'Extraordinary Characteristics' to advance, any physical means of attack will lose their effect. Only a firm will can help you.

"Oh, I'm only talking about you," Old Blue said with a smile:
"In Storm's propaganda, I am considered half a 'God-favored One'... I may have to face the same situation in the future.

"But I'm an old man, I may not live to see that day, haha, I feel much more relaxed when I think about it."

“…No, you will live a long life and will definitely defeat future enemies!” Klein comforted him.

"Ah? Well... Thank you for your blessing... You will definitely be able to defeat 'that person', this is also my blessing." Old Blue felt a little regretful. Is there no tape recorder in this era? Only phonograph? Oh, it's such a mistake that I didn't record what I just said! That was the prophecy of the "Destiny Beacon"! The most accurate "prophet"!
