He threw out this doubt, as if he had expected him to ask this question. Duke Howard said with a relaxed expression: "Among the many legacies left by the ancestor to his descendants, there is a divine weapon called the Pale Key, which can completely hide the aura of the descendants. Even the saint of the church cannot perceive it at all."
"Every descendant of our Haines family can awaken extraordinary talents through blood baptism on the day of their coming-of-age ceremony. This is also the door to the mysterious realm of the world. As my legitimate son, you must also go through this test."
"Don't worry, it's safe here. The surroundings are shrouded in the divine glory of the ancestor. No matter what kind of ceremony is held here, even if the titles of the seven traitors are fully stated, they will not be able to detect it. What's more, this is just a blood baptism." Duke Howard was calm and composed, with a hint of arrogance.
But Allen still had a doubt in his mind, so he said, "Sister Elstin is not a descendant of the ancestor, so how did she pass the blood baptism?"
Duke Howard's expression suddenly became solemn. He stared at Allen's black pupils with an uncertain look, but in the end he just sighed and shook his head. "Your sister is the greatest masterpiece of your mother's hands. Even I have no right to peek into her secrets. You just need to remember that although Elstin is the heir of the family, she will eventually give you everything she has. This is her destiny."
Allen heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "You idiot dad should have said this earlier. I have been doing a lot of shameful things to my stinky sister in secret to establish my own position in order to prevent her from kicking me out of the house after she inherits the Dukedom in the future."
Now it seems that I was indeed worrying too much. I just don’t know whether this includes the body of my stinky sister.
Although on the surface he and his sister did not get along well, he could not accept the reality from the bottom of his heart that such a beautiful sister would one day marry a fat noble lord.
If it is true as my father said, that I will have the right to dominate my stinky sister in the future, then I must make her never marry, stay by my side forever, wear clothes suitable for couples to interact intimately, match them with white silk stockings, and caress her jade feet...
That refreshing feeling, hehe.
Before he could continue to expand the charming and lingering scene, he heard the serious voice of Duke Howard.
"You idiot boy, what are you thinking about with that silly smile on your face! You are just like me when I was young. You must be thinking about women all the time now!"
Seeing his father's distressed expression, Allen had to suppress his fantasies, coughed, and said in a serious tone, "Father, after the blood baptism, can I become as powerful as Sister Elstin?"
Duke Howard shook his head, revealing a look of hopelessness. He led the way and said, "From now on, you are just a Sequence 13—The Broken One—who has just begun to glimpse the mysterious door. If you want to advance to a higher sequence, you need to collect more souls in the mysterious dream."
"So how many sequences are there for extraordinary people?"
"13. However, even the royal family of the Soma Empire can only master the promotion method from Sequence 8 to Sequence 5."
"The complete path to promotion lies only in the hands of the seven major churches, and of course us."
Allen was eager to try after hearing this. What he was thinking about now was not to be promoted to a higher sequence, but to find the real hypnosis in the sequence, or other techniques that could control people's minds.
He doesn't care whether his family will be revived or not. The only thing that matters to him in this world is to have more beautiful women.
In this respect, the father and son are exactly the same.
Chapter 41: White Silk Groups
Before he could recover from his immersion in his future girlfriend, he almost subconsciously said, "Then the strongest person in our family must be ranked very high, right?"
The air suddenly fell into silence. Duke Howard, who had just been boasting, was now at a loss like a child who had done something wrong. After a long while, he slowly said, "Your father is currently Sequence 5 - Blue Phantom Flame."
Allen suspected that he had heard wrongly. There were only 13 sequences in total. His bastard father had laid the groundwork for so long, but he was still a second-rate guy in the upper middle level?
And he is the head of an ancient family that has been around for more than 20,000 years? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? His ancestor was once as powerful as the Witch Emperor, and the seven great gods today are just his teammates.
How come each generation is worse than the previous one?
So he asked again: "Are you really only Sequence 5?"
Duke Howard's face turned red, and he cursed: "You bastard, how many times are you going to ask before you give up?"
I am angry, but it is still necessary to quibble.
"Actually, there is a reason for this. We have inherited the bloodline of our ancestors for too long. In the past, those high-sequence ancestors were hunted down by the seven major churches. In order to keep their surviving tribesmen alive, they even sacrificed their own lives and perished before giving birth to offspring of pure blood. As a result, the descendants of the ancestors are gradually declining."
"That's why I have been selflessly devoted to hundreds of mistresses. I have been having sex with them day and night. Among all the illegitimate children born, there might be one or two with good talents. In the future, they can help strengthen our family's ability to resist the seven major churches."
Allen was ashamed after hearing this. Dad, you really didn't take this job willingly just because you like women...
Duke Howard automatically ignored Allen's questioning look and began to speak eloquently: "In fact, there is another way to purify the bloodline, that is, like the current royal family, only marry within their own family and not marry outsiders. Although this method of protecting the bottom line reduces the possibility of giving birth to gifted heirs, it can at least ensure that their own bloodline will not be diluted."
No marriages with outsiders, only marriages within the family, which means brothers and sisters can also marry... The more Allen thought about it, the more excited he became, thinking that the royal families in this world are really messed up.
The two continued to move forward in the family holy land and talked a lot along the way, which gave Allen a general understanding of the mystery and supernaturalness of this world.
Soon, an even older and more solemn church appeared in front of them.
Duke Howard once again took the lead and pushed open the door that looked very heavy. In an instant, a sky full of light shot out from inside.
After waiting for a long time for his eyes to fully adapt to the strong light, Allen followed his father in, but the scene inside gave him a shock.
The whole hall was filled with a circle of short figures, all covered by a white robe, making it impossible to see their features.
Allen moved his eyes downwards and observed the pair of cute little bare feet that were exposed from the long robe. He concluded that the person wrapped in the robe was a girl.
Judging from the shape and whiteness of the feet, Allen concluded that these girls were sweet-looking.
This scene is quite similar to the impression I had of a mysterious ceremony being held.
Allen began to take a keen interest in the usefulness of these girls.
He continued to move forward. The dim candlelight in the hall suddenly shook violently. The shadows projected on the wall were like ghosts, which made people feel scared.
Duke Howard signaled with his eyes that he didn't need to be afraid, and Allen finally mustered up the courage to look around.
There were seven girls in white robes, gathered in front of a very tall and majestic statue. They held a candle in their hands, and the quiet flame cast a ball of red light on their chests, highlighting their smooth and slender jaws, and small and delicate lips.
They chanted ancient prayers, and Allen felt very calm after listening to them.
He looked up at the statue, and an incomparable majestic aura instantly hit him like an overwhelming force, and his legs trembled.
Now he could be sure that this statue was the ancestor.
It’s a pity that the black hood covered his face, so we couldn’t get a glimpse of his appearance.
Duke Howard walked straight forward, saluted respectfully to the seven girls in white robes, and then said something. One of the girls in white robes nodded slightly.
Duke Howard finally felt relieved and turned to motion for Allen to come over.
The girl in white robe raised the candle in her hand high, and the statue of the ancestor god suddenly emitted a bright light, so bright that everyone could not open their eyes.
When the light faded away, Allen found that an ancient pentagram formation had appeared under his feet, and the light it emitted immediately enveloped his entire body.
Allen felt his blood boiling. This wonderful feeling was very similar to the scenes of great magicians being promoted in the novels of his previous life! If there was a dark sky and thunder and lightning, the effect would be even more shocking, but it was a pity that this was only indoors.
Duke Howard, who was standing behind him, took this opportunity to tell him about the precautions for the upcoming ceremony.
The first was to tell him not to be afraid, as a descendant of the ancestor, there would be no danger in this holy land.
After the ceremony begins, he will fall into the deep dream of the ancestor, where a mysterious road will appear before his eyes, and all he has to do is follow this road to reach the best possible place.
The further you walk on this road, the purer the blood baptism will be.
There is a very small chance that your fate will change and you will meet the First Ancestor.
Duke Howard advised Allen not to think too much, as no one in the family had ever been able to get such an opportunity in more than 20,000 years.
What follows is some irrelevant chatter.
After listening to what his father finally said, Allen sat cross-legged in the pentagram formation, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
The soft light emanating from the pentagram array quietly penetrated into Allen's body, making him feel drowsy.
He didn't want to embarrass himself in the family's blood baptism. If he did that, who knows how much his stinky sister would ridicule him when he got out.
Maybe he would add another scolding phrase besides "stupid brother".
So he patted his cheeks, trying to dispel the sleepiness.
Outside the pentagram array, Duke Howard could not wait to recite prayers and follow Miss Tina's orders to hold the blood baptism ceremony for Allen in advance.
"Blood baptism, start now—"
Before he could finish his announcement, a childish voice suddenly interrupted him. "Stop."
Duke Howard turned his head in confusion and found that the girl in white standing in the middle took a step forward and the candle in her hand suddenly went out.
"You are..."
Duke Howard was extremely surprised. You know, these seven girls in white robes were the gods who guarded the holy land. They had lived for more than 20,000 years just to witness the head of the family holding a blood baptism ceremony for his descendants.
Throughout the ceremony, they always acted as bystanders and never intervened in the ceremony.
The next moment, the girl in white robe said something that shocked Duke Howard even more: "Next, the seven of us will hold a blood baptism ceremony for this heir."
"I must have heard it wrongly. How could such noble gentlemen personally do something for Allen..." In order to hide his embarrassment, Duke Howard laughed to himself.
Unexpectedly, the girl in white robe raised an eyebrow and said coldly: "You can go now."
"Ugh-"
Before Duke Howard could react, he was kicked out of the holy land by the girl in white robe.
The other six girls followed and walked into the pentagram formation, staring thoughtfully at Allen who had fallen asleep.
"Tens of thousands of years of waiting have finally borne fruit at this moment." The girl in white robe who kicked Duke Howard away said as she untied the belt of her white robe.
The white robe fell to her feet with a rustle. Her fair skin was as perfect as a snow elf, and the thin silk covering it was almost transparent.
The other six girls in white robes surrounding Allen did the same thing, and in an instant the sound of rustling clothes falling was heard in the holy land.
As the leading girl walked towards Allen, her soft feet stepped lightly on the cold stone slabs, making the pure white stockings even thinner, and the lines on the cute toes were clearly visible.
She revealed a seductive smile and whispered softly to the remaining six girls in white robes.
"Sisters, arrange the banquet."
Chapter 42: The ice cream is sweet and smooth
The night was like a rich wine, immersing the entire Duke's Mansion in its deep black and reddish color. It seemed that everything at this moment was slightly tipsy and immersed in a cradle of tranquility.
But at this moment, the dark holy land is brightly lit. The crimson light above, just like the atmosphere here, can easily bring people into its enchanting gentle land.
There is no concept of time or day and night here, and there is no element to remind people of life. There is only the drunkenness and dreaminess that permeates day and night.
Like a pair of gentle yet terrifying hands, holding you all the time, as if unwilling to let you leave her enchanting torrent.
What you see is the Crystal Palace, separated by countless crystal glass.
Allen lay in the glowing pentagram array, his even breathing could be heard, and his quiet little face was filled with the peaceful sleepiness.
The seven girls took off their white robes, revealing extremely revealing clothes underneath, but their expressions showed a stark contrast of purity and gentleness. They stood on tiptoe and gathered in front of Allen.
They hugged him in ecstasy, and kisses like dragonflies lightly falling on his forehead, cheeks, back muscles, chest, lower abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
Allen felt itchy in his dream, so he moved his body, while constantly mumbling in his sleep.
"Damn old man, is the blood baptism over yet..."
What he didn't know was that Duke Howard had been kicked out of the holy land by the white-robed girls long ago, and now he was a prisoner of the seven white-robed girls.
The seven white-robed girls who guarded the holy land spoke in turn from left to right.
"His appearance overwhelms me..."
"His breath reassures me..."
"His chest keeps me warm..."
"His hands made me hesitate..."
"His dark hair keeps me focused..."
"His lips are my tears..."
“Enough!” When it was the last girl in white robes’ turn, her eyes flashed with anger and she said without a trace of emotion, “You are just an incarnation, don’t get too proud of yourself! You are not worthy of sharing him with me!”
"Jealous! It's jealousy!" The other six girls in white robes had the same appearance and voice. They hugged Allen tighter and stared at the main body as if in provocation.
"Just like more than 20,000 years ago, you are just a little magnetic ghost who is jealous of even your own clone. In the end, you will still have nothing."
As soon as they finished speaking, they disappeared into the air like shattered mirrors, leaving only the girl in white robe standing there indifferently.
At this moment, Allen finally woke up. What he didn't expect was that after a full night's sleep, he was still in the same place.
"Where's the road that the asshole dad mentioned? Where's the road that needs to be traveled for the blood baptism?"
He looked at the empty hall in confusion. His bastard father was nowhere to be seen. Only a strange girl stood in front of him. She was barely covered by a silk gauze, and her fair skin was shining.
Under the girl's feet was the familiar white robe.
Before Allen could figure it out, he heard the girl's excited voice.
"Finally I see you, brother."
The girl who took off her white robe bowed, which really flattered Allen.
"Although I don't remember having a sister before, but anyone would be happy to have a sister like you, right?"
The girl bowed slightly to Allen again and walked towards him with light steps. Her fair cheeks flushed shyly, and she looked like a timid little deer.
