A noun entry: Wizard

"The five families all belonged to the Hilton family in the past. Later, they split up and became the other four families."

"In other words, the bloodlines of the five families actually share the same origin."

"Based on this principle, I can construct a bloodline tracing magic array to find the Hilton family, which is similar to the Noble family."

Bertrand Russell soaked in the luxurious royal bath, a towel draped over his head, quietly contemplating things.

He only needs to control one eighth-level elder; with just a word from the elder, he can enjoy king-level treatment.

"Besides the Hilton family, we also need to get our hands on the three keys that fell into the hands of that organization... Hmm, I'll talk about that after I reshape my royal soul."

"Let's set up a magic array first and find the Hilton family."

As soon as Russell stepped out of the bath, a maid came forward to help him change into a bathrobe and presented him with the materials he had collected.

He found an open space and placed the collected materials and Originium on the ground.

Originium.

Russell was surprised when he first saw it, but he quickly realized what was going on.

The source of energy in heaven and earth permeates the endless world; it all depends on whether the people in the world can utilize it.

Originium, as a condensation of the source energy of heaven and earth, naturally exists in the Nightmare World as well.

"Bloodline Tracing Witchcraft Array".

Russell changed the "Extraordinary Physical Strength" attribute, and after setting up the magic array, he directly used his fingernails to cut open his wrist and began to bleed.

Tracing bloodlines naturally requires the use of bloodlines.

The five major families share the same bloodline, but after their ancestors advanced to the Saint Realm, their bodies underwent a transformation, transcending the realm of humans.

That's what makes the difference.

In essence, our original ancestors were still the same.

Russell bled profusely, and even with the "superhuman strength" attribute, his face turned pale.

"Finally, the results are in. I thought it wouldn't work."

Russell saw the hazy bloody light emanating from the magic array, and then he controlled his muscles, squeezing the wound on his wrist to make it heal.

He extended his spiritual power, controlled the magic array, and traced back to the location of someone with a similar bloodline.

"There are three bloodlines that have come together outside the territories of the two great empires and eight kingdoms. It should be that organization."

"The last bloodline, is it also not in this territory?"

Russell's expression was rather unpleasant.

The Hilton family seems to be on a lot more of a running spree.

If we say that the distance between the Finn Kingdom and that organization is quantified as 1, then...

So, the Hilton family is number 10!

Russell picked up a map of the continent and looked at it. The Kingdom of Finn was located in the northeast of the entire continent.

The Hilton family's location is in the central part of the continent.

"It's so far, no wonder it took so much blood... Oh well, at least we found it."

"Next, I need to find the Hilton family, get the key, and see if I can use it."

After a moment's thought, Russell decided to leave first.

It took a month to travel to the central part of the mainland and then return.

His soul has also been elevated to the level of a king.

Only then will they be truly fearless holy knights.

Russell changed his clothes and led two horses, known as monsters, directly from the palace.

They have sharp claws on all four hooves, bluish-gray scales on their lower legs, and mouths full of sharp teeth.

This kind of horse is at the level of a fourth-tier knight in terms of strength, and it is not common even in Finn's palace.

Similarly, they possess an untamed wildness, and only a very powerful knight can tame such horses.

Not to mention mounted combat.

But this wasn't a problem for Russell.

These horses possessed some intelligence, but were not even as intelligent as ordinary people, so they were easily controlled by Russell.

They're incredibly docile; you can just hop on and ride away.

……

A month and a half later.

The speed and stamina of the monster horses are terrifying, which is why it only took a month and a half.

If it were an ordinary horse, it would kill one every day on average, and it would take at least three months.

Russell took out a pocket watch from his pocket. Strangely, the hour and minute hands of this pocket watch were fixed in place.

This pocket watch wasn't for telling time.

The hour hand represents the Hilton family, and the minute hand represents three other families.

This pocket watch is a product of Russell's simplified and solidified method of tracing his bloodline back to the magic array.

While not as clear as the bloodline tracing magic array, it could still point Russell in the general direction and location.

It is enough.

"Rhine City." Russell glanced at the name on the city gate, led two horses, and entered this bustling city.

This is the capital of the Rhine Empire, where it is said that the founding emperor became a being beyond the ninth rank and is still alive today.

Of course, this is just a folk tale, and no one can verify whether it is true or false.

Even at the city gate, Russell could sense a vast and boundless life force within the city.

It was as conspicuous as a ray of light in the darkness.

"We still need to get closer and use the power of the witch array to probe the other party's soul level."

After a moment's thought, Russell decided to test the Saint-level expert first.

While doing so, I also gathered intelligence about the Hilton family.

And so, Russell rented a small courtyard in Rhine City, a place where land was incredibly valuable.

Then we ventured into all sorts of gloomy alleyways and pub streets.

Use your mental energy to search for places where there is a strong life force.

The places they frequent are often the city's black market, where they can buy all sorts of contraband and gather intelligence.

Soon, Russell spotted a bar and went inside.

The bar was deserted, with only one bartender idly wiping glasses.

"What would you like to drink?"

After Russell sat down, the bartender asked him.

"He was introduced by an acquaintance, just here to gather some information," Russell said in a low voice.

The bartender's expression changed slightly. He asked, "Which acquaintance?"

"Don't worry about that, I won't betray him."

Russell shook his head and said, "Just tell me if you're going to do this business or not."

"Yes, of course I'll do it." The bartender forced a smile, poured Russell a beer, and then suddenly pulled a knight's sword from under the counter, ready to slash at Russell.

However, before the bartender could even raise his hand, he put the knight's sword back.

"What happened?" Russell examined the beer in his glass, took a sniff, and then pushed it away.

"This is the boss's safe house. He's recuperating here, and I'm acting as the bartender to cover for him," the bartender replied, his eyes vacant.

Russell was somewhat speechless.

So the one at the bottom wasn't meant to be used to keep things in check.

This is not a place for selling information or contacting assassins.

It was just a safe house for hiding.

"You've come to the wrong place." Russell stood up, erased the bartender's memories of this period, and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by two burly men who walked into the bar side by side.

"Excuse me," Russell said, separating the two and leaving the bar.

The two burly men glanced back at Russell, said nothing, and then focused their attention on the bartender.
