Chapter 379

After devouring it, Lin Que successfully obtained the other party's inheritance and completed the entire process of alchemy from entry to mastery.

"The ability to freely manipulate matter for decomposition and reorganization~."

Rubbing a piece of gold out casually, Lin Que played with it for a while and then threw it to the ground on the side.

"Not bad; at least I won't be short of money when I wander outside in the future."

And unlike other abilities, alchemy is essentially an ability that can be continuously upgraded.

The more you understand and the more you know, the more things alchemy can do.

Overall, the cost-performance ratio is very high.

"Your Majesty the Fourth True Ancestor."

La Folia handed over a ruby: "This was left behind after Mercury Amatsuka was swallowed by the shadow."

"Alchemy Core?"

Because he had obtained the knowledge of alchemy, Lin Que was naturally very familiar with the Alchemy Core.

Simply put, this thing is a fusion-type liquid metal with self-proliferation function that can carry a person's consciousness.

If it were a brand-new Alchemy Core, Lin Que might still have value in using it.

But unfortunately, the Alchemy Core in La Folia's hand had already been used.

"You don't need to give this to me."

Lin Que gestured: "Just stuff it into the relief next to you."

"Relief?"

La Folia quickly noticed the relief hanging on the right wall.

Unlike conventional reliefs, this relief hanging in the church looked very dilapidated and was covered with cracks.

Sweeping her gaze over it, La Folia's gaze finally fixed on the concave hole in the center of the relief.

"It should be here, right."

She raised her hand and embedded the ruby in her hand.

Hum~!

In the next instant when the two became one, a rich magic power emerged on the relief.

Under everyone's gaze, the relief, which was originally dull in color like a copper plate, instantly melted into deep red liquid and dripped down.

The amount of liquid was very large, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the surrounding ground and spread to the surroundings.

"The amount after melting is quite large."

Lin Que activated the alchemy he had just obtained and set up a circle of transparent glass around the relief, blocking it all.

Thinking for a moment, Lin Que looked at Kensei Motosuwa standing to the side.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't; you should leave for a while."

"Ah?"

Kensei Motosuwa was stunned, not understanding what Lin Que meant.

But Lin Que didn't intend to let him understand, directly activating the power of the realm to throw him out of the church.

Subsequently, Lin Que withdrew his gaze and looked at the glass display cabinet he had just made.

After just a few seconds, the relief had completely melted and turned into a pool of deep red liquid.

The soul that had been sleeping deep in the Alchemy Core began to wake up, leading this pool of liquid to begin shaping, turning into an exotic beauty with a deep facial contour and an apparent age of about eighteen or nineteen.

"Eh?"

Seeing the other party's appearance, Nagisa Akatsuki, who had been somewhat nervous after Kensei Motosuwa disappeared, suddenly widened her eyes.

"This look... Director?"

Although she hadn't seen her for a full three years, Nagisa Akatsuki had grown up in the monastery after all.

The moment she saw the other party's appearance, she recognized this monastery director who had accompanied her growing up since she was a child.

"Just woke up and heard a familiar voice."

Seeming to have heard Nagisa Akatsuki's voice, Nina, who had been motionless, slowly opened her eyes and looked over.

"Long time no see, little Nagisa."

"It really is the Director!"

Listening to this familiar voice and tone, Nagisa Akatsuki became even more surprised.

"What is going on? Director, didn't you three years ago......"

"Didn't die~"

Guessing what Nagisa Akatsuki wanted to ask, Nina gave the answer first.

"It was mainly because the situation was dangerous at the time, and the Sage's Spirit Blood I managed was interfered with."

"To prevent the Sage from resurrecting, I separated the Alchemy Core from the Sage's Spirit Blood to seal it."

Now the Sage who tried to take back the Sage's Spirit Blood is dead, and the Alchemy Core that carried her consciousness has merged with the Sage's Spirit Blood again.

· ·········· ·······

After completely controlling the Sage's Spirit Blood, Nina naturally woke up and successfully survived.

"So that's how it is."

Nagisa Akatsuki, who half-understood, nodded: "Overall, the Director is still the Director, not someone else with the same look."

"Well~ that's how it is."

Placing her palm on the glass in front of her, Nina activated alchemy to convert it into a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her body.

After moving her body after a long time, Nina looked at Lin Que standing to the side.

"There is a familiar aura on you; the person who killed the Sage through unknown means should be you."

"To be precise, it's devouring."

Lin Que corrected: "The current me is the Sage."

"Hm... although I don't quite understand the principle, I can probably understand what you mean."

Nina nodded thoughtfully: "As the strongest person present, you should have the ability to take away the Sage's Spirit Blood."

"Since you didn't do that but resurrected me, can I understand that you have no interest in the Sage's Spirit Blood?"

"It's not like it's a good thing."

Sweeping her gaze over Nina, Lin Que replied with a smile.

"Compared to the Sage's Spirit Blood, I am more interested in you; do you want to join me?"

"In me?"

Nina was stunned: "This is truly an unexpected answer."

"So what is your reply?"

"Does it include food and housing?"

"The island under your feet is my territory."

"Has the owner of Itogami Island changed?"

A look of surprise flashed on Nina's face: "That's fine, that's convenient."

Nina is the guardian of the Sage's Spirit Blood, and her only mission is to prevent the Sage from resurrecting.

Now that the Sage is dead, Nina is equivalent to regaining her freedom.

Facing the invitation of Lin Que, her savior, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"I will leave my next residence to you to arrange."

ECHO is in the off state.
