Chapter 925: Heroult!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Three days had passed. rlin seldom ventured out during this period. There were suddenly fewer guards in the manor as well. Moreover, they ca in and out, appearing very busy. rlin did not know what happened for they looked more anxious.
When rlin occasionally went down, he did so hastily. A maid noticed that rlin’s complexion was increasingly pale but dared not ask him about it so casually. Fortunately, Count Stanwin had gone sowhere these few days, so he did not question rlin.
“Almost there. There’s not much Mind Power left but at last, the frawork of the Illusory World has been built.”
rlin’s face was pale because his Mind Power had been severely exhausted. Over three consecutive days, he had used Mind Power to constantly repair the general frawork of the Illusory World.
Luckily, he still had the most essential natural order. Repairing the frawork of the Illusory World was much easier. Otherwise, to reconstruct the entire Illusory World would be impossible even in ten thousand years.
The overall frawork of the Illusory World had been established. Thereafter, rlin did not have to worry anymore. It just needed a long ti to slowly recover. At that point, the natural order would derive even more natural order.
As for recovering his previous strength in the Void Zone, even surpassing the natural order and materializing illusions as reality, these were all too distant for rlin. He was facing a more practical concern, which was his lack of self-preservation power now.
In this period, although the guards in the manor did not ntion anything to him, the entire atmosphere at the manor seed suspicious. rlin who had keen senses could naturally perceive that this was a very tense atmosphere. Even without inquiring, rlin could vaguely guess that sothing had happened at the front lines.
It was very likely that this calm lifestyle would not continue. If so, powers of self-preservation were vital.
“I’ll go and ask Heroult at the Fossil Museum once more.”
rlin stood up, having made up his mind. Even though Count Stanwin forbade him to be parasitized, from the depths of his heart, he desired to have self-preservation powers. Only parasitism could grant him such strength, so that was all that mattered.
Nonetheless, before that, rlin had to ascertain how it worked and not act rashly.
After leaving the room, rlin headed directly outside the manor.
...
In the Fossil Museum, there was a bustle of activities. Many people were buzzing about in and out, moving precious fossils. Outside, there was one carriage after another, totaling more than ten. It appeared that the entire Fossil Museum was moving out of Boulder City.
“Be careful there. These are precious almighty beast fossils. Don’t break them.”
A few black-armored knights were directing things. They were the security force of the Fossil Museum. Curator Heroult was a mysterious man. After opening this Fossil Museum, he even employed an entire troop of knights for protection.
Suddenly, a splendid carriage gradually stopped outside the Fossil Museum. From the carriage, out hopped a skinny, pale-faced young man.
“What are you all doing here?”
rlin noticed the people who were incessantly moving things outside the Fossil Museum, and his brow imdiately scrunched up.
“Master Leon.”
A black-armored guard seed to know rlin’s identity and imdiately replied respectfully, “Master Leon, Curator Heroult has asked us to move these fossils away. We’re leaving Boulder City today.”
“Moving away?”
rlin appeared astounded. Countless thoughts flashed in his mind as if he seed to think of sothing. He asked softly, “Where’s Curator Heroult?”
“Curator Heroult is inside.”
rlin entered the Fossil Museum. Indeed, he saw Curator Heroult directing a few people to carefully move the almighty beast fossils.
“Curator Heroult, are you moving away?”
rlin stepped forward and asked.
When Curator Heroult saw rlin had co. His eyes brightened, following which he gave an ambiguous smile. “Master Leon, do you not know? Honorable Count Stanwin had already sent his heavy knights to warn . If I don’t move, I’ll be responsible for the consequences! In this Boulder City, if one offends the honorable count, is there anyone who can stay on?”
rlin had already guessed this sowhat that it was indeed his father who gave the order. He was the master of Boulder City. With one command from him, a re curator naturally could not disobey.
Nevertheless, rlin still felt that this Heroult was not that simple. He was not moving away for a reason like this. It was just that this might involve Heroult’s own secrets, so rlin could not ask.
“Curator Heroult, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t think that I’ll give you so much trouble.”
Even though Heroult was very enigmatic, as of now, rlin did not detect any evil intent on his part. Conversely, it was Curator Heroult who was implicated by rlin.
“Haha, Master Leon. Even without the honorable count’s banishnt, I’ll be leaving Boulder City as soon as I can. After all, the front lines can’t hold on for long. At that point, we might et again.”
Heroult seed well-inford, knowing about the situation at the front lines.
“The front lines can’t hold on? Curator Heroult, has sothing bad happened?”
rlin imdiately thought of his father, Count Stanwin, who had not been in the manor these few days. Even the heavy knights were fewer in number.
“Master Leon, don’t you know? The Blackbat Militia had colluded with the barbarian tribe. By now, the line of defense that Marshal Kerry had blockaded over is completely torn apart. The collapse of that defensive line is not too far behind. Therefore, no matter what, I’ll move away as quickly as possible.”
Heroult did not conceal this fact. It seed like many people knew of this developnt.
Most people had heard of this. Thus, everyone in Boulder City had grown alard. Most of the heavy guards had been sent out to guard the city gates, reassuring the masses.
“So sothing this major had happened. It looked like the Holy Dragon Empire isn’t far from chaos...”
rlin understood the entire situation of the Holy Dragon Empire. The matter of the Blackbat Militia was rely a microcosm of what was happening in the Holy Dragon Empire. All over the empire, organizations similar to the Blackbat Militia were popping up everywhere. Troubled tis were coming. At that point, it was difficult to say whether Count Stanwin could protect the entire Hilderbrandt clan.
With this in mind, rlin beca more determined in his plan to gain self-preservation powers.
“Curator Heroult, I ca here to ask for more details about ‘parasitism’.”
“Parasitism? Master Leon, would Count Stanwin allow you to choose an eternally dood path like parasitism?”
Curator Heroult asked with an awkward smile. Surprisingly, he did not show the fear others typically displayed upon ntioning Count Stanwin.
“If father doesn’t allow , am I not able to make the choice myself? Danger is lurking everywhere throughout the Holy Dragon Empire. This is an on of impending chaos. If I don’t have the slightest power to defend myself, even father would be unable to protect .”
rlin spoke resolutely.
“Oh? Master Leon has such determination?”
Curator Heroult appeared taken aback as he sized up rlin. After a mont of hesitation, he finally invited rlin into a room in the Fossil Museum.
“Master Leon, have you decided on parasitism?”
“Of course!”
rlin answered with steely conviction. If he had any hesitations before, they were completely gone after he heard about the Blackbat Militia breaking through Marshal Kerry’s line of defense.
Troubled tis were coming. Without self-preservation powers, it would be dangerous.
Moreover, being parasitized by an almighty beast’s will was ultimately dependent on the mind. In that aspect, rlin was unafraid. His Illusory World, despite having only a frawork built, was not sothing most almighty beasts could destroy.
Plus, rlin was left with so Mind Power. He was not afraid of the remnants of the almighty beast’s will.
After considering various situations, rlin finally made up his mind. Choosing the path of parasitism was now the only plan he could think of in a short ti that would gain him formidable power.
“Curator Heroult, I wish to allow an almighty beast’s will to parasitize . I wonder if you have a way?”
rlin stared at Curator Heroult with burning eyes. He knew that this mysterious Curator Heroult was sure to have a way, only he did now know whether Curator Heroult was willing to anger Count Stanwin.
“Heh, Master Leon, you’re making things difficult for . Once the honorable Count Stanwin knew that I’ve brought you onto this irreversible path, he might tear apart... Nonetheless, I’m studying parasitism. Although I don’t choose to walk this path, I’ve researched the almighty beasts’ will and parasitism for over ten years.
“I won’t deny that those who can sense the almighty beast’s will are rare. I don’t know what’s the reason, but only those who can sense the almighty beast’s will are able to choose parasitism. Therefore, I wish to let Master Leon try it as well, but do you need to think about this more carefully? After all, if you want to be parasitized, your father Count Stanwin can help you.”
Curator Heroult’s eyes were faintly zealous. He had studied parasitism for over ten years. Having t a “test subject” like rlin delivered to his doorstep, naturally, he was overjoyed.
Even so, he still sought for rlin’s opinion. Though he was not fearful of Count Stanwin, there was no need to offend a count who might be a peak fourth-form shifter without good cause.
“Curator Heroult, I’ve already thought this through. Plus, do you think that if I go to father, he would agree to let choose parasitism?”
rlin had already considered this matter. Heroult did not seem afraid of his father, so there was no one more suited to help rlin begin the parasitism. Furthermore, rlin did not detect any evil intent from Heroult. This was the crucial part.
Curator Heroult carefully scrutinized rlin. After a long mont of thought, he gradually raised his head. “Very well, we don’t have much ti. If we take too long, Count Stanwin will discover us. Follow , Master Leon, I’ll help you be parasitized. This would thoroughly aggrieve Count Stanwin. I hope after you succeed, you won’t forget .”
“If I fail?”
rlin asked.
“If you fail... You’ll die, and your father, Count Stanwin, would turn insane as he hunts down everywhere. Hehe, now do you see how much of a risk I’m taking due to your choice of parasitism?”
Although Curator Heroult complained over and over about this pressure he was under, rlin could discern a frantic light in his eyes.
