Chapter 470: Is it still too late to believe in Holy Light?
The first body was just to gain Lutiya's trust; it didn't necessarily need to be hers, as long as it was something she was familiar with and recognized. The jumping rabbit was small, which could save some materials.
However, this idea was quickly shattered. Silver Coin brought the jumping rabbit, which looked exactly like her pet, over. Lutiya stared at it for a long time, then pulled out one of her own hairs: "Do it again."
"Ah? Don't, okay? Doing it once is very expensive. Our materials are only enough to do it two more times," Silver Coin said, unhappy.
Lutiya breathed a sigh of relief but said very firmly: "Do it again. Make my body. I can pay for it twice—40 million magic crystals."
"Hiss—" Silver Coin felt his teeth ache. It was the first time he felt that money could be hot to the touch. Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this, right?
"It's really unnecessary. It's too wasteful. The materials are very precious and hard to come by. Our remaining materials are only enough to do it twice. There's no need to waste them," Silver Coin advised.
"No, I can pay for it twice. Do it," Lutiya said very firmly.
"Fine, you spendthrift..." Silver Coin said reluctantly: "If it's yours, it's best to drip a few drops of blood for me. Hair won't work."
Silver Coin took a small bottle of blood and stepped onto the teleportation array. The moment he teleported away, he burst into laughter.
Could he not see Lutiya's little thoughts? Even the fact that she would have such "little thoughts" was deliberately guided by Silver Coin.
Deliberately letting it slip that there were only two sets of materials left, artificially creating scarcity.
And Lutiya was even more willing to spend 40 million magic crystals to buy a unique one, rather than spending 20 million to buy one of them.
It's like someone willing to buy a pair of treasures and smash one of them, so the remaining one is unique.
Of course, Silver Coin guiding her to think this way wasn't to sell one more; squeezing a big client's wallet dry wasn't the goal of a profiteer like him. His goal was to grow together with the client.
Guiding her to think this way was to make her believe that this material was very rare. Otherwise, if you could easily create a body exactly like the client, what would the client think?
Would she worry that one day you would create a body and replace her?
A day later, Silver Coin pushed over a body that was ten years younger than Lutiya but looked exactly the same, and it stunned her. The impact of a jumping rabbit was far less than having an identical self placed in front of her.
Now she understood why Silver Coin insisted on having her guards and maids leave. Such a bare body soaking in essence liquid—if those guards saw it, how would they get along in the future?
Lutiya blushed, hurriedly pulled up a cover to cover the body, revealing only the face. After examining it for a long time, she suddenly asked: "Is the replacement of this body safe?"
Silver Coin said: "If you talk about safety, it's definitely safe. If you can go to our place to do it, it's 100% safe. Even if there are accidents, our lord can save you. It's also safe to do it here. We have performed this ritual three times, and all were successful."
"Only three times?" Lutiya was surprised.
Silver Coin said sincerely: "Miss Lutiya, the materials for this ritual are very precious. If you weren't our big client, you wouldn't be able to come into contact with this level of secret arts, let alone twice. Oh, the jumping rabbit doesn't count; its size is too small, treated as scraps, counted as a gift."
Lutiya took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said: "Fine, you prepare the ritual and replace me."
Silver Coin really didn't expect this, was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You? Is it you who needs to replace the body? That's not right, your grandfather, the Arcane Mage Enke, right?"
Lutiya looked at Silver Coin with deep meaning.
Silver Coin rubbed his hands: "Heh, I definitely have to conduct background checks on my clients. Only then can I tailor better services. Please don't take offense."
Lutiya laughed: "If you didn't do this, I wouldn't be at ease. If you really agreed to such a thing without knowing anything, I would have to worry about your abilities. Since that's the case, do you know what this means?"
Silver Coin laughed: "I don't know what it means. We just hope that Arcane Mage Enke will live a long life and not have to make decisions against his original intentions due to lifespan or illness. This is also the hope of Holy Light."
"Holy Light? So you..." Lutiya immediately realized.
Knowing Silver Coin's background, Lutiya was even more confident. Because others doing body replacement is very incredible, but the Holy Light Church doing it is a matter of course; they are originally good at this kind of thing.
Since the background was revealed, Lutiya didn't cover it up anymore and laid it out directly: "Since you already know my identity, you should also know my grandfather's situation. His situation is very bad. The backlash of magic power has been consuming his lifespan. If this continues, he won't last half a year."
"Replacing the body can eliminate the backlash of magic power. Because it is cultivated from one's own flesh and blood, even the affinity won't be reduced," Silver Coin explained following Lutiya's words.
This was something Lutiya hadn't expected, but it was very critical. If the element affinity of the body decreases, wouldn't the strength also decrease?
If he falls out of the realm of Arcane Mage, the deterrent power will also decrease, and those who covet their family will easily have other ideas.
Silver Coin's explanation came just in time. Otherwise, if she found her grandfather and then discovered these key points were unclear, her grandfather would definitely doubt her ability.
"If I replace my grandfather's body, it must be 100% safe. What measures do you have to guarantee it?" Lutiya asked solemnly.
Silver Coin spread his hands: "Because of some reasons that cannot be disclosed, I can guarantee absolute safety as long as you are willing to go to our place for body replacement. However, to boost your confidence, I have also prepared a Soul Casket."
"Hiss, you can even get a Soul Casket?" Lutiya was shocked. Silver Coin meant that even if the body replacement failed, he could turn her grandfather into a lich. Wasn't this her original goal?
This way, there would be no worries. Lutiya said: "However, for the sake of safety, I want to do it for my grandfather first to ensure the safety of the whole process. I can have an accident, but grandfather cannot."
Silver Coin shook his head: "No, no, no, Miss Lutiya, this is not your original intention. You originally just wanted to know if we had the ability to create a body, without the preparation for replacement. What made you change your mind? It has reached this point, Miss Lutiya, we need a more sincere attitude."
Seeing that Silver Coin wasn't fooled by her, Lutiya fidgeted for a while before saying: "This body is ten years younger, after all."
"Just this?" Silver Coin was stunned.
"What do you mean 'just this'? Don't you think this skin, this hairline, this waist... Ah! Don't look!" Lutiya pointed all the way down and realized that this body was herself and couldn't be seen by others, so she hurriedly pulled the cover up again.
Silver Coin couldn't understand. Just to be ten years younger, she dared to take such a big risk? Although there was the factor of scouting the path for her grandfather, Silver Coin still couldn't understand.
It would be one thing if Lutiya were too old. Silver Coin had seen in Meishen City how those old ladies were crazy about various beauty packages.
But the current Lutiya is at the age of most charm, like a ripe peach, radiating maturity, plumpness, and sweetness all over. Coupled with being a powerful swordswoman, heroism and beauty appear on her at the same time, blending into a fatal attraction.
This has already sublimated to the level of temperament. It's really hard to understand, just to be ten years younger, she risked abandoning her current self and replacing it with a young body?
"You don't understand. Anyway, I want to change. Didn't you guarantee absolute safety? How can it be called a risk? Are you lying to me?" Lutiya said.
Silver Coin spread his hands helplessly. He couldn't say that his words were just said casually. Anyway, he had already advised her. If the client wants to take a risk, he can only tie the safety rope a little tighter.
However, before the replacement, one more thing needs to be done: invite the Arcane Mage Enke over.
Not long after, outside the door, Lutiya was pulling an old man hard: "Grandfather, grandfather, come over quickly, I'll show you something."
The old man smiled indulgently: "Little Lutiya, what good thing are you showing grandfather? Eh? Are there guests?"
Enke, who entered the room, immediately discovered Silver Coin and also noticed that something was wrong around him. In the room where the teleportation array was located, there was only a strange goblin, and all of Lutiya's attendants and maids were gone. What was going on?
Enke immediately became vigilant, several possibilities flashed through his mind, and he quietly pressed the summoning array on his body to summon his followers.
Silver Coin raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and then saluted: "Hello, Lord Snow's Howl, Enke. Messenger of the God of Balance, Silver Coin, greets you, my lord."
"God of Balance?" Never heard of it. Enke frowned. Where did this god-stick come from, actually cheating his granddaughter?
Lutiya didn't give him much time to think and hurriedly pulled Enke to the essence liquid stone vat.
Seeing the younger, smaller Lutiya inside, Enke was stunned, looked at Lutiya in disbelief, then looked at the stone vat, and muttered for a long time: "Your illegitimate child? Who did you have it with?"
Lutiya was very embarrassed, acted spoiled for a while, and explained the origin of the body in the stone vat.
As soon as he heard that this body was cultivated from Lutiya's flesh and blood and could transfer consciousness to it, Enke immediately realized that this was an opportunity for him to continue living.
Enke turned to Silver Coin and asked directly: "How much?"
"40 million magic crystals," Silver Coin replied.
"Hiss—how to guarantee safety?" Enke first took a breath of cold air in pain, but didn't say anything, and continued to ask.
"We have prepared a Soul Casket for you as a second option in case of failure, although it is unlikely to fail. Moreover, your granddaughter is willing to try it for you to verify the feasibility of this method," Silver Coin said.
"Hu Nao, she is a thirty-year-old child, doing experiments for an old man like me who is about to see the God of Undead?" Enke's face stiffened.
"Grandfather—" Lutiya called out, not agreeing.
"No nonsense." Enke stamped his foot, and the elements around him immediately became chaotic. Outside the door, more than a dozen followers rushed in.
"Watch Miss," Enke ordered. Then, regardless of Lutiya's cheeks bulging like a hamster, he turned to Silver Coin and asked: "Is there any change in the element affinity of the body? Is there any change in mental power? Will it affect magic power?"
Sure enough, he asked these key points, and even deeper.
Silver Coin said: "Because it is cultivated from your flesh and blood, nothing will change. It may take some time to adapt, but it won't affect strength."
He asked for more details in detail, and even tested Silver Coin's identity. The language set several small traps, wanting to get more things out, showing the old-fashionedness of an Arcane Mage.
However, Silver Coin was more old-fashioned than him, responding flawlessly, introducing all the details Enke wanted to know clearly, and introducing the details he hadn't thought of one by one.
Being picky is the buyer. Silver Coin has no burden to earn this kind of client's money. On the contrary, it is easy to feel embarrassed to earn money from someone like Lutiya.
Finally, Enke asked: "What do you need me to do?"
"Remain neutral and yearn for light," Silver Coin said.
Enke was somewhat incredulous: "Just like this? Don't I need to donate one-tenth of my property? Don't I need to believe in the God of Light? Don't I need to pray every day?"
"No, no, didn't you pay money? 40 million magic crystals," Silver Coin said with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but scold in his heart: Tithe, Kupada, Anthony the god-stick is still easier to earn from.
Enke pondered for a while and asked: "Can I watch my body take shape with my own eyes?"
"Of course you can, but you need to go to our place," Silver Coin said.
This is normal. Unlike Lutiya, who was so rash, she dared to replace it without even knowing how the body was made.
Enke said: "You stay here, I'll go to your place to visit."
This means he wants to keep Silver Coin as a hostage.
Silver Coin, of course, didn't care, just said: "No problem, but this doesn't make much sense. They can't restrict me."
Enke's followers were unhappy. What does this mean? More than a dozen swordsmen and great swordsmen here can't restrict a goblin dwarf?
Only to see light radiating from Silver Coin's body, and a large money bag was taken out by him.
Enke's eyes widened suddenly: "You are..."
He could feel that Silver Coin's aura had changed, but he didn't recognize what it had become.
"Uh, haven't you seen a God-Soul Warrior? Haven't you seen a True God possession? Uh, showed off in vain," Silver Coin said regretfully.
Realizing that Silver Coin's strength might not be inferior to his own, Enke gritted his teeth, took the risk to go to God-Fall Town, witnessed his body take shape with his own eyes, and then witnessed the consciousness transfer of the jumping rabbit.
Repeatedly checking that there were no sequelae after the consciousness transfer of the jumping rabbit, Enke then hardened his heart.
He knew his own body situation best. If there was no change, he would have to die of old age in at most half a year.
The consciousness transfer went very smoothly because it was presided over by Anthony. Enke woke up from the new body, feeling the vitality of the new body, and the sequelae of the previous magic power backlash disappeared.
Enke said with a relaxed body: "Can this replacement be done multiple times? Can I use this method to achieve the effect of eternal life? What price do I need to pay to learn this method? Is it still too late to believe in Holy Light now?" ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
