Chapter 337 -336: The Little Grape’s Plan
“What’s this, firewood?”
When Yi Chen saw the word, the first thing he thought of was actually skewering a grape and roasting it over a campfire.
“That’s what you don’t know! When I accepted this ancient eye disease, I glimpsed many scenes from the old tis! It must be said, this human Prophet Rudolf really had astonishing willpower.
He wasn’t like the Eye Collector, Gemhar, who indulged in depravity, specializing in the study of evil techniques, quite the contrary, he was a completely upright person.
He couldn’t accept ‘Burning Eye Syndro,’ this ancient and evil illness, at all;
he relied entirely on his own willpower to hold on and even achieved ‘Half-Integration.’
It’s precisely because Rudolf paved the way for
that I was able to accept this gift relatively easily… This ancient eye disease will lead
to higher domains.
However, Rudolf wasn’t directly infected initially;
instead, he contracted the disease indirectly through observation.
And since he has been dead for so long, the disease has diminished over hundreds of years, and so far, I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg.
To gain the true power of this ancient eye disease, I still need to seek out the scattered ‘firewood’ in the Old World, or collected by so patients already, which is an ancient material carrying this cursed fla.
Anyone who probes into the material will contract ‘Burning Eye Syndro.’ If I can use the flas kindled with this material to burn my eyes, I can further enhance this ability.”
“That doesn’t sound like anything good, and it should also cause harm to you, right?”
“You know nothing! Since ancient tis, to attain the ultimate power, one must bear the corresponding burden, and even give up so things… Moreover, since I was born, I have been considered an evil being, this thing couldn’t be more suitable for .
William, do you want to experience my new ability?”
“Not for now! Little Grape, you’ve just been reborn from the ashes, take a good rest.”
“Coward!”
After a brief conversation, the scene returns to the Holy Body Room.
Since Little Grape had fully accepted the eyes of Prophet Rudolf, the Prophet’s physical body had also turned completely to ashes.
“Archbishop Yaleris, I’m so sorry! We couldn’t preserve Prophet Rudolf’s body.”
“Haha, there’s nothing to apologize for, I should be thanking you~ Rudolf has always been trapped in the curse, and now he finally gained the freedom he deserved. Moreover, he passed on his eyes, although in a way that might be different from what he expected.
Since your pet can form a human shape and has beco Rudolf’s successor, why not give it a gentleman status and let it participate in Zion’s ‘Prophet Examination’?
If it can pass, it could give it a decent platform for developnt.”
“Is that possible? I’ll ask.”
When Yi Chen conveyed the Archbishop’s suggestion, Little Grape promptly refused,
“Humph! Does this old man think he can trap
with the ‘Prophet’ identity? Wishful thinking… I will never be confined within re human organizations. I’ve glimpsed the beauty of the Old World already. When you, William, are no longer here, let’s go on an adventure to the Old World together.”
“We can postpone the adventure for later;
I’ll definitely go when the ti cos.
Wouldn’t it be good to mix in and take on the Prophet role now? Or is it that you, Little Grape, don’t believe you have the strength to beco a Prophet?”
“Ptui! It’d be all too easy for
to beco a human Prophet, but I just don’t want to be restricted.”
“How about this, if you find any treaty during the process of the Prophet examination that restricts you, you just drop out, okay? As for the gentleman status, the Archbishop will sort that out for you.”
“Then… I will reluctantly give it a try.”
Little Grape’s last sentence clearly lacked confidence, after all, he had gone through the nightmare ga with Yi Chen and had witnessed the standards of Yuri and Marko Prophet.
However, since the Archbishop had personally suggested it and was willing to help, Yi Chen still wanted Little Grape to at least give it a try,
If Little Grape could gain the Prophet identity, it could maximize the use of the organization’s resources, and this would also benefit Little Grape itself.
As the Archbishop sent out the ssage, staff from the Gentleman Hall soon arrived on the scene to register a gentleman status for Little Grape and provided a sufficient amount of ‘Gentleman’s Skin.’
Na registered as “Ember Grep.”
By now, the young grape had transford into a human form, shrouded in a black clerical robe given to him by the Archbishop, his exposed body parts faintly dispersing ashen patterns, and under the hood, there could also be glimpses of multiple eyes.
The Archbishop scrutinized the young grape’s clerical attire. “Next, all you need to do is take this leather to any tailor shop, put on a fitting outfit, and you will be able to apply for the prophetic test… Here is my letter of recomndation. It should save you a lot of trouble,” he said.
From beneath the cloak, the young grape extended a hand covered in embers to receive the letter of recomndation.
The two bowed in farewell to the Archbishop, and as they had just stepped out of the building’s grand entrance, a familiar aura swept over from the side.
“Principal Desline!”
“I knew it… It’s you, William, causing trouble! To think that you could even inherit Rudolf’s ‘Ash Eye,’ your little creature inside is truly remarkable,” she said.
Desline slightly lifted her glasses and stared at the stranger wrapped in the black clerical robe beside Yi Chen,
Feeling sowhat uneasy as she caught sight of the charred eyeballs beneath the hood, even her own eyes began to reflect a touch of ash.
However, as a stream of stars crossed by, the influence of the ash was gone.
“Clad in a clerical robe, holding a skin, standing alone in form… Are you planning to beco a gentleman of the organization under the Archbishop’s recomndation?” she inquired.
Yi Chen explained the situation, detailing the events that had led them there.
“So you want to take the test to beco a Prophet, which is one of the highest level tests within the organization. However, since you could inherit Rudolf’s eyes, it ans you must have so skill. Go and give it a try,” she advised.
The young grape remained silent, rely nodding slightly in agreent.
Desline turned her gaze toward Yi Chen, “So you an to say, you entered the ‘Secret Storage Room’ just to get that eye for your pet, and you yourself got nothing?”
“Yes, well, I did take a careful look around but didn’t find anything particularly interesting. I’ll wait until I have so free ti to seek opportunities in the Old World,” he replied.
“You just finished dealing with that nightmare and you’re already thinking of heading to the Old World? Take a break for a while. You haven’t been to my office in so ti. How is your self-study of star magic going?” she asked.
Yi Chen, sowhat embarrassed, scratched his head,
“Recently, I’ve had a new understanding I wanted to discuss with the Principal, but I’ve been too busy to co by. I’ll co to find you after I take the young grape to get an outfit made,” he said.
“A new understanding? Hmm… Go on then, don’t forget to co see
first—I’m eager to see what you’ve realized,” she said.
…
“Saville Tailor Market”
The largest gathering area of tailors under the organization. Apart from tailors like Mr. Ivan who have completely severed ties with the organization and do not require any subsidies, operating independently,
most of the orthodox tailors who stay in Zion and have passed the tailoring qualification exam open shops in this area, either on their own or in partnership with other tailors.
They don’t need to worry about business performance—as long as the shop operates normally and passes the monthly inspection standards, they can receive a substantial subsidy.
Of course, shops that receive favorable custor reviews and produce a sufficient quantity of clothing will also gain the organization’s support, with corresponding tailors able to advance in rank, obtaining higher level honors and statuses, and enjoying better treatnt.
Every day, a large number of gentlen co to the market for repairs, alterations, and material additions to their clothing.
Yi Chen also ca here with the young grape,
and they casually entered a rather quiet shop.
Before the shopkeeper behind the counter could get up, Yi Chen took out a special business card and showed it to him… The tailor who was the shopkeeper was so startled by the words on the card that he nearly fell off his seat.
“You’re looking for the President Tailor, Mr. Spacy?!”
“Yes, it’s our first ti here. Could you please show us the way?”
“Well, alright then, please follow .”
