Chapter 102: Eternal Blazing Sun Divine Blood (Please Vote!!)
"Old man, what does he mean?"
Lun Na De regained control of his body, his tone a little puzzled and doubtful about the old man inside him.
Lei Ke Dun didn't wait for Pa Lie Si's reply, and then laid out his offer:
"I can also help you once when you encounter A Meng; the conflict between you and Him is unavoidable. I ran into A Meng at the end of last year and had some clashes, and of course those A Mengs have already been purified."
"Why should I trust you? Maybe you had already become an avatar of A Meng back then!"
Pa Lie Si spoke again through Lun Na De.
"I'm not wearing a monocle; trust me, you can receive the protection of knowledge, which is better than this, right? Can you be sure the goddess will look after you?"
Lei Ke Dun lifted the framed glasses on his nose bridge and continued to persuade.
"Heh, you actually call the night a goddess? Does the god of knowledge know?"
Pa Lie Si sneered.
Lei Ke Dun swallowed, "Why does it feel like, besides hunters, everyone is a provocateur!"
"Saying that in front of the extraordinary one on the hunter's path is also rather provocative!"
Pa Lie Si used the same method as A Meng, reading Lei Ke Dun's thoughts.
Realizing his thoughts were being read, Lei Ke Dun simply recalled the memory of his first encounter with A Meng.
After a while, Lei Ke Dun saw Lun Na De's expression become somewhat colorful, thinking the other was whispering again to the old man inside his body.
Pa Lie Si's tone, when he spoke again, turned a bit odd:
"You? What relationship do you have with knowledge?"
"Hmm? It's the relationship between the devotee and the deity!"
Lei Ke Dun was a bit puzzled, but still replied sincerely.
Pa Lie Si stopped asking further and instead asked about the terms of the deal:
"What are the terms of your deal?"
"Hmm? You agree? My promise is exactly what I just said: information about a half‑god thief in poor condition, plus helping you once when you encounter A Meng."
Seeing Pa Lie Si loosen up, Lei Ke Dun immediately said, then pointed to the mutated Sun Holy Emblem in Lun Na De's hand and said:
"I need you to extract the drop of eternal blazing sun divine blood inside this mutated Sun Holy Emblem for me."
"Eternal blazing sun divine blood?"
Pa Lie Si's tone turned strange again.
"You say this badge contains divine blood! And it's the eternal blazing sun kind!" Lun Na De exclaimed.
"Don't make a fuss!"
Pa Lie Si said something inside Lun Na De's body, then reclaimed control of Lun Na De. Speaking through Lun Na De, he said:
"Fine, but do you have a vessel that can hold divine blood?"
Lei Ke Dun was stunned; he really hadn't thought about that before. Divine blood can't be contained in ordinary bottles, and once extracted, its aura would likely be sensed by the corresponding deity.
"You didn't prepare?"
Pa Lie Si's tone carried irritation; He felt this little brat was just teasing him.
Lei Ke Dun scratched his head and said awkwardly:
"Hold on, I'll go get one."
In the night chapel, where invoking other deities or angels' names was inconvenient, Lei Ke Dun directly passed through the spirit realm sorcerer's ring and entered the deep library of the spirit realm.
Upon arriving at the library, Lei Ke Dun saw Mr. Huang and a gaunt old man in a lemon‑yellow robe with a long white beard sitting opposite each other, both turning to look at him.
Lei Ke Dun instantly recognized the old man's identity: one of the Seven Pure Lights of the spirit realm, Huang Guang Weinitan.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Huang, Mr. Weinitan!"
Lei Ke Dun suddenly realized that when Mr. Huang and Huang Guang are together, it's a bit awkward to address them.
"The spirit realm has no concept of morning or afternoon," Mr. Huang replied.
"Mr. Huang, I have something urgent that needs your help; do you have a vessel that can hold divine blood?"
Lei Ke Dun ignored Mr. Huang's preaching and urgently asked for a vessel suitable for holding eternal blazing sun divine blood.
"Divine blood?" Huang Guang Weinitan looked at Lei Ke Dun with surprise.
"No, the eternal blazing sun divine blood is too noisy; ordinary vessels would be assimilated and start mindlessly praising the sun," Mr. Huang said, shaking his head.
Mr. Huang's answer surprised Lei Ke Dun; after always getting what he asked for before, Lei Ke Dun had never considered the possibility that Mr. Huang might not have a vessel for divine blood.
Mr. Huang, sitting with Huang Guang Weinitan, gave Lei Ke Dun a bored glance, then waved his hand and ushered Lei Ke Dun out of the library.
"Hmph! Foolish, your messenger can temporarily store the eternal blazing sun divine blood; just toss that book back quickly and nothing will happen."
Mr. Huang's voice echoed in Lei Ke Dun's mind.
Lei Ke Dun came to his senses; the scene had reverted to the Morse Chapel.
Lun Na De was curiously sizing up Lei Ke Dun, not knowing what Pa Lie Si's old man had just said to him.
Lei Ke Dun was still puzzled by Mr. Huang's temper, which seemed a bit harsh, and only snapped back to reality after Lun Na De's prolonged curious stare.
"I have something that can temporarily hold the eternal blazing sun divine blood now."
Lei Ke Dun looked at Lun Na De across from him and said.
"Got it that quickly?" Pa Lie Si said, his tone tinged with doubt.
Thinking of something that could hold the eternal blazing sun divine blood, Lei Ke Dun was speechless—it was his own messenger. And from Mr. Huang's words, it usually resides in that library.
"Found it; I have it myself, but wait a moment, first make full use of this mutated Sun Holy Emblem."
Lei Ke Dun intended to use the eternal blazing sun divine blood to craft two talismans, also giving the poet classmate a little sealing fee.
Just as he finished speaking, he remembered he hadn't brought any ritual materials at all. At that moment, Lei Ke Dun wanted to slap himself.
"How did I become as forgetful as the sleepless ones!" Lei Ke Dun muttered to himself.
"Do you have some misunderstanding about the Sleeper?"
Leonard rebutted on behalf of the Sleepers.
"Also right, the forgetful one is the nightmare! I won't speak of that. I'll bring out the thing that holds the divine blood and start right away. Mr. Leonard, I'll bring your sealing fee to you later; I left in such a hurry today that I forgot the ritual materials."
Reketon waved his hand, not wanting to get tangled in this topic.
In fact, Reketon didn't even have the ritual materials to summon a messenger, but since he knew the messenger stayed in the library, and Mr. Huang had so directly thrown himself back, Reketon thought there was a simpler way to summon the messenger.
Reketon closed his eyes to meditate, then resonated his own spirit. Behind him, his spirit rippled like water, and a fragmented ring made of gears and chains materialized.
"A spirit wandering in illusion, a celestial being friendly to humans, the messenger belonging solely to Al Tains."
He recited the summoning incantation for his own messenger, and at the same time Reketon used the ring behind him to communicate with the library deep within the spirit realm.
Before long, a brass‑colored book fell from the spirit realm to Reketon's feet.
Reketon reached out, took his messenger into his hand, and handed it to Leonard.
"Let's begin; this is the vessel for temporarily holding the Eternal Blazing Sun divine blood."
Leonard stared at Reketon with a strange look for a long time; Reketon felt that not only Parles, but Leonard himself was also fixing him with that odd gaze.
"Alright!" Parles' hoary voice rang out.
Then Reketon saw an ancient, mottled, massive wall‑clock illusion hovering above Leonard's head, divided into twelve sections, each gray‑white or blue‑black, intermingled yet with clear boundaries, each bearing a different symbol.
The ancient, mottled wall‑clock illusion turned gently clockwise; Reketon thought he heard an illusory chime, but upon careful listening, there was no sound at all.
The holy seal that Leonard held, stained by the Eternal Blazing Sun divine blood, dimmed slightly; its surface luster decreased, though not noticeably, and one would not notice unless looking closely.
The ancient, mottled wall‑clock illusion rotated gently counter‑clockwise again, returned to its original position, then quickly faded away.
At the same time, the brass‑colored book in Reketon's hand turned radiant gold, as if cast from pure gold.
"Alright, don't forget your promise!"
Parles' voice came again, sounding a bit weaker than before.
Reketon tossed the now‑golden book‑messenger back into the spirit realm, letting the messenger return to that library.
"The demigod parasitizing a rat is hiding on Beckland Berkland Street; the student it plans to use for replenishment is named Hai Rou Er Mahte, the daughter of Councilor Mahte. With this information you should be able to find it easily."
Reketon directly relayed the rat demigod's information to Parles and Leonard, and added at the end:
"I don't know the current state of the thief's path to the demigod, but once you reach Beckland, it will certainly be that situation; you may consider it a prophecy."
Since there is still some time before Leonard heads to Beckland, Reketon thinks the rat demigod has most likely not yet begun the worst chapter of its life.
"Prophecy?"
Leonard furrowed his brow slightly, looking at Reketon with some doubt.
"You heard the summoning incantation I just used; you can summon it via the messenger‑summoning ritual. If you need anything, contact me. I'm leaving now; I'll deliver your sealing fee later."
Having obtained the Eternal Blazing Sun divine blood, Reketon was eager to leave.
Having said that, Reketon simulated a traversal of the spirit realm and left the Moersi Church.
"Old man, are his words trustworthy? That prophecy? The demigod the thief's path involves? And are you really a terrestrial angel?"
After Reketon left, Leonard immediately spoke a string of questions to the empty air before him.
"You have too many questions; his relationship with knowledge is clearly unusual. That prophecy is probably true. As for your worries, they're unnecessary; you're not the extraordinary one of the thief's path, so you don't meet the conditions for me to consume and restore part of my power."
Parles gave Leonard no further explanation.
"But!" Leonard tried to say something.
"Alright, you just took divine blood for that kid, concealed his aura, making this already‑ailing old man feel worse. I need to sleep for a while."
"Don't bother me unless it's nothing! If there's something, don't bother me either! If trouble arises, summon that kid's messenger; before he gives you the sealing fee, extort as you must."
After Parles finished that long speech, he fell silent.
"Old man!" "Old man?"
Leonard called out to Parles for a long time but received no response.
