Chapter 161 Chapter 159: Sacred Artifact·Proverbs Ring (1200 monthly tickets plus additional chapters last month)

19 Lombard Street, nd floor.

When Roy came back, Oliveira had just finished his meal and took a shower. The water stains on his body were not dry yet, and he still exuded a feeling of weakness.

Chloe immediately looked at his temples. His hair was completely gray and no longer had its previous luster.

Looking at Oliveira's face again, he is still the same person, but at a glance, you can feel that he is at least ten years older.

He no longer has the temperament of a tough warrior as before, but has become more decadent.

"Teacher Oliveira, what are you doing?"

"I used a secret method to forcefully activate my fighting spirit, which damaged my essence. However, it's good enough that I can still see you alive."

"Is there any way to recover? I'm talking about some top-grade potions, or powerful divine arts. Don't worry, we have plenty of money!"

Oliveira shook his head slowly and said, “It’s not important anymore, so don’t bother with me.

Fortunately, this time when I returned to the Flower Territory, I finally completed the second refinement of my fighting spirit. Once I have fully accumulated my fighting spirit, it should not be a problem for me to break through to the fourth level.

but……"

"But what?"

"I'm afraid I can't refine Dou Qi three times. This is the result of losing the source, and there is always a price to pay."

"What about breaking through to level five and becoming a legend?"

Oliveira's cold face showed helplessness: "You said that as if I didn't damage my origin, I would definitely be able to break through to the legendary level.

That’s a legend!!!”

"In my eyes, for the teacher to break through the legend is as easy as taking something out of a bag."

"You still have a chance, but as for me, forget it!"

Oliveira's face became serious as he said this. He said, "Luo Yi, please wait a moment."

Roy was stunned by Oliveira's serious expression, and saw Oliveira striding into the bathroom, and then there was a sound of vomiting.

Then came the sounds of metal colliding, cleaning, and wiping...

Just when Roy was confused, Oliveira came back with an eye-catching ring in his hand.

This ring is obviously made of some rare metal. The surface emits a unique colorful halo, and the ring is dotted with numerous tiny magic gems.

Although they may not look big, each one is finely carved and dazzling.

The ring face is a pattern of a lion roaring towards the sky, and the carving is lifelike.

Oliveira handed the ring over with both hands, and Roy took it almost instinctively.

He glanced at Oliveira, then carefully examined the ring he tried on, and discovered a line of small, recessed words on the inner ring.

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes, turning them into eagle eyes, and could see the words clearly.

It was an extremely ancient language, but Luo Yi knew what it meant.

The Lion family is brave, fearless, determined, heroic, and invincible!

This is the motto of the Raymond family.

This ring is actually the Raymond family's emblem and token of trust, the motto ring!

Nobles, how to prove their noble status?
The nobles of the Old World recognize this family emblem, the Motto Ring!

Often, when nobles issued formal orders or official letters, they would stamp them with this motto ring, which also represented the family's recognition.

It can be said that this is also the most important item of the Raymond family, like a crown representing power.

At this time, Oliveira sent him to Loy!
At this moment, Luo Yi was a little confused, because his identity as an illegitimate child was the biggest difficulty in inheriting the title of earl.

However, with the Ring of Proverbs, it seems that these are no longer a problem.

Looking up again, Luo Yi looked at Oliveira and asked, "Teacher, this, this, this..."

"The Earl asked me to keep this. If the need arises, I will give it to you."

"Leave it to me? Why leave it to me?"

"I have no idea!"

Oliveira shook his head slowly, and then said: "However, if you hold this ring, you will be eligible to inherit the earldom and the family territory, to open the family secret vault, and to use the treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years in the Raymond family.

I think Lord Raymond wants you to take control of this."

Luo Yi couldn't help but ask: "So, Earl Raymond actually felt the danger?
Do you know who attacked the Raymond family?"

Oliveira frowned and shook his head slowly: "Loy, I don't know more than you."

He paused for a moment before saying, "After I was urgently called back, I thought the family had some important task to assign to me.

However, the Earl only met with me once, asked me a lot of questions about you, and then let me go."

"It just so happened that my fighting spirit was fully accumulated at that time and I could do a second refinement, so I kept adjusting my state and trying to break through." "It was the same. I didn't communicate much with the people in the ancient castle. After I broke through and my strength improved, the Earl gave me this ring."

"Then, he arranged for me to live in a manor outside the castle, ostensibly to train soldiers.

Until that day, that day, the turbulent magic swept across the entire Flower Territory, the clouds in the sky were pierced with holes, and countless meteorites wrapped in flames fell directly down. "

"I am sure that it must be some kind of forbidden magic above the ninth level, powerful enough to destroy the world."

“I originally wanted to rush to the castle, but the magic scroll I was carrying was triggered, and it was a message from the Earl.

He told me to run and bring you the crest ring."

"This was the last order I received. I even activated a fixed teleportation scroll, but those people were extremely well prepared.

I thought I had run very far, but I was still discovered, and then the fourth-level oath knight caught up with me. "

Luo Yi listened carefully, wanting to analyze some useful information from it, but after pausing for a long time, he could only shake his head.

Finally, he had no choice but to ask: "Teacher Oliveira, didn't the Earl say anything? Not a single word?"

Oliveira seemed to have thought of something, and he said, "When the Earl gave me the family crest ring, he told me to convey something."

"what?"

"Don't try the magic machinery lightly!"

"Don't try magic machinery easily? Don't try magic machinery! Magic machinery...

Is it related to magic machinery again?!"

"So, is it true, as Grand Duchess Aphra said, that the magic machinery touched the nerves of certain people, making the Raymond family the target of public criticism?"

As Luo Yi muttered this, countless ideas flashed in his mind: "So, who is it that cannot stand the promotion of magic energy machinery?"

"Or who on the Old Continent has the power to wipe out the Millennium Earl Family and is extremely hostile to magic machines?"

At this moment, Luo Yi felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but he always felt that something was missing!
But, what is missing?

In the study,
Luo Yi began to pace, the family emblem ring in his hand turned unconsciously, and then it was put on his finger.

This ring is extremely exquisite and luxurious, and also very large. Luo Yi's fingers are slender, so if she really wants to put it on, her thumb would be enough.

However, when Luo Yi unconsciously put it on his right ring finger, it looked very thick.

But just when he was distracted, he felt a pain in his finger.

He looked down and saw an extremely thin needle sticking out from the inside of the ring, which directly cut Luo Yi's finger.

Blood flowed out, staining the thin needle, and finally, staining all the words in the ring.

At this moment, a faint red light appeared on the motto, like a pattern of magma flowing on a colorful ring, which was extremely conspicuous.

Could this be, acknowledging one's master through blood?

This thought popped up instinctively in Luo Yi's mind, and he felt that this was a routine only found in fantasy novels.

This shouldn't be a popular thing here, right?
However, when a string of information flowed into Luo Yi's mind, he knew that routines were actually useful anywhere!
Although this ring is not a legendary artifact, it is also high enough to be a holy artifact.

The material used to make it is extremely special, it is the legendary rare material, seven-degree metal.

Don’t be fooled by its small size. In fact, there are at least seven layers of space inside, through which various powerful magics can be added.

One of the functions of this proverb ring is to acknowledge the master by dripping blood, but not just anyone’s blood will do.

Only the direct bloodline passed down from generation to generation by the Raymond family can be recognized by this holy weapon and be qualified to wear it.

In other words, if one day the direct line of the Raymond family is cut off, then this holy weapon will be completely useless.

One of the functions of wearing this holy device is to detect whether one has family bloodline.

At this moment, Luo Yi felt that his vision was a little distorted, and everything around him seemed to become vague and deformed, but in an extremely distant direction, the outline of a human figure could be seen.

It's very blurry, but I can really feel it!

Luo Yi knew almost instinctively that those were the collateral descendants of the Raymond family, and were qualified to compete with him for the title of earl.

In a trance, Luo Yi came out of that state. When he looked down again, he found that the ring of proverbs had shrunk a circle.

Now, it fits perfectly on my hand!

"Luo Yi, does this mean that the family motto ring recognizes you?!"

"Correct!"

When Luo Yi said this, he was a little careless, but the next second, he was startled by Oliveira's action:
Oliveira was seen kneeling on one knee with his head slightly lowered and a pious look on his face.

“Oliveira meets the head of the family!”
