CHAPTER 205: ABYSS SERIES RANK 2 CREATURES (PLEASE FAVORITE)

「Divine Domain Fragment.」

Should be safe now, right?

Carl appeared in the high-backed chair, his face thoughtful.

At the last moment, he had looked back to confirm that someone had already entered the fortress in Lym Canyon.

Ayala should be among them.

The canyon’s terrain could not accommodate bulky Legendary Creatures. Even if ordinary merfolk broke in, they had the strength to resist.

Besides, a Great Knight was stationed there as well.

Passing through Lym Canyon meant reaching vast grasslands and forests, offering ample space to hide.

All that could be done has been done. I’ve done my best and left the rest to fate; I hope Ayala and the others will be safe.

Shaking his head, Carl withdrew his thoughts.

During this time, he had hardly had a moment to breathe. Now, at last, he had time to take stock of his gains.

He took out the items acquired from the house of Baird, the Second Elder of the Scythe Brotherhood, and laid them out on the table, opening each one.

There were six wooden boxes of various sizes.

TAP. Two of the boxes contained processed Legendary Creature meat, which was very beneficial for a Great Knight’s training.

As Baird’s cherished collection, this was unsurprising.

Pearls?

Two pearls, the size of bird eggs, were placed in the same box, cushioned by thick fleece to prevent them from colliding.

The pearls were round and smooth, like dewdrops congealed under moonlight, exuding an elegant and mysterious luster.

Without a doubt, this quality was very rare.

However, although pearls might be rare elsewhere, in Freedom Port, even the finest pearls were not too precious.

After all, the sea there was rich with pearls!

Hmm... Carl picked up the pearls and examined them closely.

Under the light, they seemed alive, their colors pure and deep, like ocean currents.

There was also a special aura rippling within.

Carl’s eyes lit up. So these are Water-Repelling Pearls!

Water-Repelling Pearls, harvested from a creature known as the ’pearl maiden’ in the Endless Sea Domain, were a very rare Magic Material.

Holding a Water-Repelling Pearl allowed a non-swimmer to dive into the deep sea without worrying about breathing.

If crafted into a Demonized Item, it could significantly enhance the power and resistance of Water Magic.

Great stuff!

Carl admired them for a long time before he carefully put them back into the wooden box and then opened the fourth box, which was the largest.

CLINK! The box contained some books and a few old artistic pieces.

Hmm? Carl raised an eyebrow.

No one had ever mentioned that Baird was a scholar with a hobby of collecting art.

"Festival of the Moon."

"Ritual of Divine Prayer."

...

Every book was related to the Divine, covering various prayer rituals and corresponding blessings from the Divine.

The artistic pieces were also items needed for those rituals.

What is this for?

Carl shook his head, pulling out a book titled "Blood Spike Breathing Technique" from the bottom of the box, and he somewhat understood Baird’s intentions.

Legendary!

As a Great Knight, who wouldn’t want to ascend to Legendary?

Lacking a Duke’s bloodline, Baird could only hope to ascend by obtaining blessings from a God.

Unfortunately, from the results, all his efforts were in vain.

Indeed. Even the priests who specifically worshiped the Divine couldn’t sense the presence of any God, so how could Baird receive a God’s blessings?

A God?

Carl stroked his chin. As the master of the Divine Domain Fragment, I wonder if I count as a God, capable of bestowing blessings on others?

If possible...

Blessing myself to advance to Legendary, would that path work?

Heh... With a light chuckle, he put the items back and closed the wooden box. He was far from ascending to Legendary.

Moreover, he might not necessarily choose the Knight Path in the future.

CLINK! He opened another wooden box.

Inside was a white feather.

The feather was about a foot long, light and ethereal, pure and translucent white, imparting an otherworldly feel.

Touching it, the feather was soft and fine, like brushing over delicate cashmere, very comforting.

Gently shaking it... CRACK!

A flash of lightning appeared from nowhere.

The shock made Carl’s hand tremble, and he dropped the feather, his body stiff for a long time before he recovered from the tingling sensation.

Magic Material?

Looking at the feather on the ground, fear still evident in his eyes, he wondered, What creature does this feather come from?

He was a Great Knight, and his defensive power far exceeded that of ordinary Great Knights. Yet he was still immobilized by the electric shock.

This was just a feather that had fallen from some creature. How powerful must the original creature be?

Legendary Creature?

No!

Even Legendary Creatures cannot do this!

Using a touch of simple magic, Carl carefully picked up the feather and put it back in the wooden box, cautiously putting the item away.

He had no idea where Baird had obtained this, but for now, it was something he dared not touch.

Baird truly is full of surprises. It’s no wonder he handled the finances of the Scythe Brotherhood for so many years. His collection is impressively unexpected; I really should thank you.

He opened the last box. Great Divine Grace!

A total of five!

Seeing the Great Divine Grace in front of him, Carl couldn’t help but smile.

It seems Yass was right; Baird indeed hoarded Great Divine Grace, and not just one but five.

As compensation and the price for redeeming a Great Knight, the Scythe Brotherhood had only produced four.

Baird’s private stash contained five.

Shaking his head, Carl waved his hand, transforming the Great Divine Grace in front of him into Source Material.

With the additional three gifted by Sea God Hawke, this made a total of eight Great Divine Grace, equating to 0.8 Source Material.

Added to that was the 0.2 Source Material gained from killing the ’Giant Squid.’

A total of 1 Source Material!

An unprecedented acquisition.

Gesturing, he displayed the data panel.
