Chapter 86 Golden Bloodline

"gone."

Roland got up and walked out, with Drake following closely behind. The four boys silently watched the doorway, as if Roland would be back in a few minutes.

A reindeer-drawn cart was parked at the entrance. The reindeer had changed, but the cart was still the same. Two lanterns swayed in the cold wind, reflecting Tanya's delicate face.

"Congratulations, you're finally about to get what you want." She had everything too easily and couldn't fully understand Roland's feelings.

"I hope everything goes well." Roland chuckled, looking quite relaxed.

The reindeer-drawn wagon traveled along Seminary Street, crossed the square, and turned into the Chamber of Commerce compound.

"Should we do it here?" Roland asked, puzzled.

"Yes, this is roughly the town center."

Roland followed Tanya into the largest building in the southwest corner, which was decorated with brightly colored ornaments. He vaguely remembered that he had complained about them before.

The lobby on the first floor had been cleared out, and a circular magic circle was drawn on the floor with very simple lines.

“This is just a simple balancing magic circle.” Julia and Veldora sat to the side drinking tea, with incense burning on the table.

In the corner stood a stone platform with intricate gold patterns painted on its surface, and in the center was a black crucible.

"Shall we start preparing the potion now?" Roland was worried that there wouldn't be enough time.

“No rush,” Yulia said calmly. “Potions like yours that require fresh ingredients usually need to be prepared on the spot. These kinds of potions are particularly active and their properties are extremely unstable. Preservation is very costly, so it’s best to take them immediately.”

"I see," Roland said, suddenly understanding.

"Most of the potions sold on the market are auxiliary potions and low-sequence potions. Mid- to high-sequence potions are mostly made by yourself. Take a good look at them later; you'll need them eventually," Yulia instructed.

“Okay.” Roland nodded. The special nature of the potion greatly limited the growth in the number of extraordinary individuals.

As it approached two in the morning, Julia finally stood up and handed two small bottles and a small golden knife to Roland.

"Blood on the left, spiritual light on the right, with a surplus of 20%."

"it is good."

Roland reached out and grabbed at the air, and twenty-two glimmers of spiritual light leaped out from the void, like lively little sprites falling into the bottle.

Veldela watched from the side, his expression one of utter astonishment. There were many ways to store spiritual glimmers, but he had never seen one like this before.

The gold knife was indeed made of pure gold and was very exquisite. Roland held the knife and made a cut in his palm, leaving only a white mark without breaking the skin.

Helpless, he stabbed hard, his palm stinging, blood spilling out, dripping into the bottle below, flowing slower and slower.

“That’s enough,” Yulia reminded her.

Roland pulled out the knife, and the bleeding stopped immediately; it would probably heal soon. He put the knife back, the blade bent, a testament to the force he had used.

Veldella's eyes flickered. She had already entered the middle sequence, but her physique hadn't reached this level. This man was too abnormal.

Yulia acted as if she hadn't seen anything, placed all the materials next to the stone platform, and began to mix the potion.

She put on a scarf, gestured for Roland and the other person to move away, and said in a calm tone, "All materials must be prepared as precisely as possible, strictly following the formula requirements. Generally speaking, materials with stable properties should be added first, and active materials last..."

With a wave of her hand, golden powder covered the bottom of the pot, followed by the sap of the golden tree and other ingredients. At this moment, the patterns on the stone platform lit up, and the sap appeared to be boiling, rotating counterclockwise and gradually transforming into a golden vortex.

One by one, spiritual glimmers fell in, and a pure spiritual force field condensed above the vortex. After the molted shell of the Starshine Beetle was put in, the vortex surged like ocean waves, and if you listened closely, it sounded like the pumping of blood vessels, growing stronger and stronger.

Yulia took out a straw, filled it with blood, and floated it above the crucible. As the blood dripped down, the golden vortex instantly collapsed, swimming and transforming into all sorts of strange shapes: human figures, trees, bizarre souls, giant hands reaching for the sky... Faint murmurs and whispers lingered in Roland's ears, stirring his emotions.

With a snap, Yulia slammed a black lid on top, and all the strange phenomena vanished. The lid was inlaid with dozens of gems and crystals of various colors, with faint glimmers of light flashing across it.

"It's very pure, let's begin." After observing for a moment, Yulia breathed a sigh of relief.

Roland stuffed the Wheel of Oblivion and the Eye of Pro into his pocket, took off his clothes one by one, leaving his upper body completely naked, placed them in the corner, and then quietly lay down on the balancing magic circle.

Yulia went to the window, and after confirming that the night had arrived, she took out a brush that looked like a calligraphy brush, dipped it into the cauldron, and all the potions were sucked into the brush.

She carried the brush to Roland and moved the brush head back and forth on his chest, spreading the golden potion evenly over his chest, leaving not a drop.

Roland felt as if a bucket of lava had been poured over his heart, the heat and sting spreading throughout his body, instantly igniting his nerves and reason.

After a moment of excruciating pain, his mind went blank, and countless images flashed before his eyes, bizarre, abstract, overlapping and distorted, like a grotesque dream that seemed ready to pull him in at any moment.

Countless sounds swirled around me, sounds I didn't want to hear but kept creeping into my mind, sounds I wanted to hear but couldn't make out, only one strange word stood out clearly: "Terra".

In the midst of the chaos, his soul and body seemed to separate and reunite, his spiritual power rising and falling, gaining a more substantial quality. He seemed to be in an endless void, his soul intertwined with the endless lines of the surrounding space, able to manipulate the rules of the world with a mere thought.

He had a sudden realization: this world had finally left its mark on him – [Golden Bloodline]. This was a kind of "concept" that was similar to identity recognition, but at the same time, it was also subject to the constraints of related "rules".

A faint, unknown gaze descended from the endless depths of space, as if searching for something.

Before Roland could even realize it, a massive phantom of a chessboard fell from nowhere, enveloping him within it, with light and shadow shifting, yet nothing was there.

The next moment, his five senses returned, and before he even opened his eyes, everything around him entered his mind.

Compared to previous inspirations, this one spans a wider range, dozens of meters. While the perception of ordinary things remains largely the same, the perception of living beings and magical objects is more acute and precise.

The four people watched him from a distance without disturbing him.

Drake's spiritual energy is domineering and aggressive. Julia and Tanya are relatively gentle, giving off an awkward sense of warmth.

When Veldora first appeared in his consciousness, she gave off a contradictory feeling: her front was fiery and passionate, while her back had a pair of cold eyes, a stark contrast to her image.

Roland sat up, fully aware of all the changes in his body, all stemming from the Bloodborne sorcerer's precise control over his own bloodline.

His body became stronger, and he gained three extraordinary abilities, two of which were bloodline abilities.

Generally speaking, taking a potion does not immediately grant corresponding mystical knowledge; extraordinary abilities require gradual practice and mastery.

Bloodborne sorcerers are different. Their extraordinary abilities almost all originate from their bloodline. Each sequence can awaken a bloodline ability, which they can directly master as if it were instinct. Most other extraordinary abilities also rely on their bloodline and are equally easy to master, requiring no effort to learn. It truly is the path to wealth and power.

The drawback of bloodline abilities is that it is not easy to break through the upper limit, but fortunately he awakened an ability that is very compatible with him.

[Bloodline Sublimation]: Bloodline Ability. Based on the principle of synergy, each awakened bloodline ability triggers a bloodline sublimation, increasing the strength of the soul and life force by one level, while simultaneously enhancing all bloodline abilities.

When the number of Life Rings exceeds nine, a super evolution is triggered, breaking the bloodline limit!
This is one of the core abilities of Bloodborne Warlocks. Every Bloodborne Warlock will awaken it sooner or later. Whether they can break through the bloodline limitations and advance to a higher sequence depends entirely on it.

The Ring of Life is not visible on the outside. It is a unique symbol of the evolution of life, like a spiritual mark imprinted on life and soul. When spirituality is aroused, its projection can be seen in the pupil.

Roland's life rings number five, so obviously, the three abnormal mutations are also taken into account!

'I knew I made the right choice.' This was exactly the effect he had hoped for.

If every abnormal mutation is considered a bloodline ability, then he can easily trigger super-limit evolution, there is no so-called bloodline upper limit, and advancing to a higher sequence is relatively easy.

Bloodline sublimation also solved the problem of abnormal mutations preventing improvement. With continuous strengthening, no one knows how far these abilities can grow.
