Half a year later, winter turns to spring.
Flowers began to bloom, trees sprouted tender green leaves, and the clear sounds of birdsong drifted through the mountains and forests.
The name of the Fisher family has spread in the town of Nasir, especially the female spellcaster with healing powers.
Carl has been silently observing and recording all the experiences of the Fisher family.
Following Lucius's suggestion, Irene acts as a "healing spellcaster".
As expected, Maritime Merchant John had plans for long-term cooperation, and he was the one who arranged for Irene to treat diseases for more than a dozen rich and powerful people in Nasir.
The Fisher family gradually accumulated their next fortune. However, the Fisher family now has more than ten servants, and each servant costs a lot of money to hire.
Lucius found the old blacksmith Raymond and built a set of tough full-body armor, a thickened breastplate, and a sharper and neater sword.
Not only did he replace himself with sophisticated equipment, he also trained five strong men among his servants to serve as temporary guards for the Fisher family.
Byrne also bought an entire bookcase of books and indulged in reading every day, constantly absorbing knowledge.
But the biggest expense for the family was related to extraordinary powers. In order to become extraordinary, they purchased new extraordinary materials twice from sea merchants, and obtained "Beholder Skin" and "Ghost Blue Fins" respectively.
At present, the remaining movable funds of the Fisher family total about fifteen gold coins, and Byrne proposed to invest part of the money.
He observed carefully for half a year and speculated that the drug business would become increasingly popular in Nasir in the near future because purple-red fish appeared around the ocean. According to the book, every time they appeared, infectious diseases would be prevalent on the east coast.
Erin and Lucius finally decided to give five gold coins a try.
Chris, who was still just rolling over in his swaddling clothes, could already crawl slowly on the ground. The little white-haired guy has become the mascot of the entire family, and almost everyone likes him.
Three months ago, the Fisher family obtained the "Ghost Blue Fin" through an exchange with the Taylor family, a knight family. Then Irene was the second person to be promoted to a transcendent.
The level she advanced to to become a god is the "Road to Divine Sacrifice".
The road of divine sacrifice and the road of conquest are completely different. Karl imprinted a completely different extraordinary law in the "stars" of the spiritual world.
In "Stars" there is a priestess who is kneeling on the ground and praying constantly, with tears in her eyes, as if she is hoping for mercy from the gods.
From now on, as long as people in the world of Krad master the magic potion formula, they can embark on this new long step to reach the gods.
The first step on the "Road to Divine Sacrifice" is "Servant", and the extraordinary characteristics obtained are "worshiping gods" and "perception of malice".
People with the extraordinary characteristic of "worshiping gods" can choose a god they sincerely worship, and can contact the god's will by chanting his name every day, thereby obtaining the god's exclusive blessings.
"Malicious Perception" can detect any malicious person or thing within a range of five meters. The range of perception can be expanded after the spiritual power is improved.
There was no doubt that without any hesitation, Irene chose the Lord of the Lost as the object of her worship.
In addition, Irene's physical fitness has been greatly improved, which is a guarantee given by all high-level gods.
As Lucius embarked on the road of conquest, his spiritual power increased by approximately 30%, and his physical fitness increased by 100%.
Eileen is almost the opposite, her physical quality has increased by 30%, and the spiritual power contained in her soul has increased by 100%.
The "Road to God's Sacrifice" can almost be regarded as the weakest step to ascend to the gods in the early stage, but the future is promising, and the powerful power obtained in the later stage is unquestionable.
A month ago, the Fisher family purchased the "Beholder Skin" sold by outside merchants. Byrne is the third member of the Fisher family to embark on the path to transcendence.
"Path of Knowledge"
Karl also chose the path that was most suitable for Byrne from the thirteen steps to ascend to the gods in his mind.
The power of the digestion sequence depends on the physiognomy. The better the personality of the transcendent matches, the shorter the time the power of the digestion sequence allows to advance to the next stage.
If Byrne were allowed to take the road of conquest, he might not be able to qualify for promotion to the second level in more than ten years.
The extraordinary law of expansion of the path of knowledge is a wise old man in the "stars". That figure will even peek beyond the "stars" greedily and curiously.
The first step on the road to knowledge is "Recorder", and the extraordinary characteristics obtained are "Profound Memory" and "Sketch".
As the name suggests, "deep memory" allows the recorder to have a photographic memory and be able to clearly remember every detail even of things he saw several years ago.
"Sketching" means that the recorder has the ability to describe extremely accurately. Any scenes, things and creatures heard or seen can be displayed in the form of painting.
And any scenes, things and creatures described by the recorder will become easier to destroy, unless someone destroys the sketched painting.
Lucius and the Byrnes worked together to try it. The stone drawn through sketching would be as hard as black bread in the material world, and ordinary people could break it open with bare hands.
There is no doubt that "Sketch" can be a powerful support type of supernatural ability in combat.
The spiritual power of the "Recorder" has been improved more, even close to that of the "Attendant" of the divine sacrifice, and the improvement of physical fitness is slightly higher than that of the "Attendant".
There is still a gap in the power obtained from the first step of the Ascension to God level compared to the first level of a traditional transcendent.
Karl judged that they would have to reach the second level before they could compete with the traditional extraordinary people at the first level in terms of extraordinary power.
He knew in his mind that there were a total of twelve steps to ascend to the gods, while the traditional extraordinary level on the continent of Oden was only five levels.
And even if a transcendent reaches the fifth level, he cannot compare with the gods at all.
Obviously the upper limit of sequence power is higher in the later stage!
Although three members of the Fisher family have become extraordinary beings, the identities of the two except for Irene have not been revealed for the time being.
——
Lucius, who was wearing a breastplate, came to the alley in the east city of Nasir. The young man in black robe in front of him was a wine seller. He was smiling and looking around to see if there were any outsiders.
"I have bought wine from you several times in the past six months. It is indeed very delicious and unforgettable. Is it true that you said there are channels for smuggling wine?"
Lucius narrowed his eyes and looked at the young wine seller in front of him, and continued: "If there is still smuggled wine, I am willing to buy a few boxes. The Fisher family is willing to cooperate. Do you really have a stable channel?"
The wine seller smiled, nodded, and said:
"Don't worry, I'm definitely not lying to you. After all, I still have a younger brother to support, and I will never give up any way to make money."
He was as relaxed as talking to a good friend.
"Mr. Lucius, please come with me."
"good!"
Lucius looked excited and followed the young wine seller. The two of them came to the port outside Nasir Town and gradually came to the vicinity of a warehouse.
"It's right here," the young wine vendor said.
Suddenly Lucius stopped, suddenly pulled out the sharp blade in his hand, and ducked to the side at the same time.
A violently thrown ax passed by and hit the warehouse door.
Lucius soon saw who the attackers were. They were three jungle natives wearing animal skins and with black stripes on their faces.
"I brought the person!"
The young wine seller turned around and ran away. He fled in a panic and left the place immediately. He was obviously colluding with the jungle natives.
"It's actually you. I see. Have you guys who eat dirt in the jungle finally noticed?"
Lucius smiled and narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew the bodies buried near the cabin and what exactly happened that night.
The mysterious existence that the jungle natives believe in is the so-called Blood Demon, and they also call themselves the Blood Order.
He had long known that there would be the possibility of retaliation.
Half a year later, the natives in the jungle finally came to seek revenge on the Fisher family.
