Chapter 48: The Sacred Artifact of the Blood Clan?
Otherwise, the Blood Clan wouldn't use Blood Servants and still try to snatch it - the closer it gets to the start of the Blood Cataclysm, the deeper the Blood Clan lies in hiding and the less likely they are to take action easily.
By the same token, at this point in time, the thing that makes the Blood Clan go to great lengths must be of absolutely terrifying value!
Sivis can even sense in a mysterious way that what's inside the box is something that no one else can ever hope to get their hands on. But as an Evil God, with his extremely high status, he might be able to forcibly requisition it!
Even...
"If what's inside this Blood - Shackle is related to the God of Blood Sea enshrined by the Blood Clan, and it's something of the level of their clan's sacred artifact, I'll make a killing!"
Sivis's face was filled with anticipation.
Before, he was afraid of being infected by the blood - plague and worried that it would cause the will of the God of Blood Sea to personally intervene and seize his divine body.
However, the Blood Clan's sacred artifact doesn't have this kind of infectious ability. As an Evil God, unless there is energy eroding his body, Sivis can absolutely not be detected in his essence.
So -
If what's inside the Blood - Shackle is really a sacred artifact.
Sivis can forcibly refine it through his status as an Evil God. Even if the progress is slow, he will eventually be able to complete it.
The lowest level of a sacred artifact can exert the effect of the Gold rank, and at the highest, it can even reach the power of the Legendary rank - it all depends on the strength of the user.
If he can get it into his hands, he will at least have one more guaranteed Gold - rank trump card, and the situation will be much easier!
"Regardless of what's hidden inside the Blood - Shackle for now."
"Anyway, this is a good thing."
Sivis tossed the black box and caught it again.
This thing can attract the Blood Clan, and the Silver - stage strong person it attracts is currently the easiest for him to kill.
Being of the same Silver stage, a single use of [Holy Swordsmanship] can easily take care of it. Even if the opponent only has the combat power of the Bronze stage, as long as Sivis seizes the opportunity, he can also severely wound the other party, and then the Extraordinary Soul can be easily obtained.
In addition, there is also that tracking item he had his eye on before.
As long as that Blood Clan shows up once, Sivis can hunt it down until it's dead!
While thinking about this, there was suddenly a noise beside him.
Sivis turned his head and saw that the little maid Reina was weakly opening her eyes. "Young master..." The first reaction when she regained consciousness was to keep calling out the most important person in her mouth.
Sivis took the initiative to step forward: "I'm here, I'm right here." Seeing this, stars immediately appeared in Reina's eyes.
Before Sivis could offer a few words of comfort, the girl suddenly asked anxiously: "Young master, when did you get to know that extremely beautiful knight - sister?"
???
Seriously? Is this the first thing you ask when you open your eyes?
Sivis had a look of confusion on his face, but he didn't plan to hide it: "Strictly speaking, we just met for the first time. She might have seen the power of holy light on me and thought I was from the Holy See, so she was quite enthusiastic."
"Oh, I see..." Reina seemed to be deep in thought. Even with a pale face, her joy couldn't be hidden.
Sivis was speechless for a moment: "What are you thinking about?"
He noticed that after going through life - and - death, the little maid had become much bolder. She took the initiative to put her arm around his shoulder and said softly: "I'm just jealous. I hope you can spare more time for me, young master."
"But if you find a mistress, I will also take good care of her for you." Her tone was sincere, and her straightforward attitude left Sivis at a loss for words.
Suddenly, Reina got up from the bed. "What are you doing?" Sivis was taken aback.
Reina smiled and said: "Young master, I heard that people infected by the Blood Clan are beyond saving. Although you saved me for the time being, I'm afraid I won't live long. So let's go for a stroll in the market... I have to pick a few good - looking and quick - witted maids first, train them well for you, so that I can rest assured when I'm gone."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Sivis said, both helplessly and affectionately, as he gently stroked her head. "I have a special magic array. Once I gather enough materials, I can transform you into a 'Guardian'."
"I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm a lord now. After you become a Guardian, not only will the blood - plague be lifted, but you can also cultivate and fight for me. Do you understand?"
"I really need your combat power."
"Really?" Reina was first overjoyed, but soon showed concern again. "But this kind of ceremony must be very precious, right? I'm just an ordinary maid..." "Ordinary? In what way are you ordinary?" Sivis deliberately said sternly. He simply pulled her into his arms, his fingertips gliding over her smooth skin and even reaching up to her warm and soft breasts: "You're the maid I took a fancy to at first sight. Look at this figure, this appearance..."
Reina was so shy that she kept begging for mercy. Finally, she helplessly pleaded: "I was wrong, young master! Whatever you say goes. I won't dare again!" Only then did Sivis let go: "You have a good rest. I'll go and collect the materials for the transformation ceremony."
"You'll have a lot to do once you recover."
"Besides, to transform into a Guardian, one needs to have absolute trust in me. And in this regard..."
"Who else but you can do it?"
"I see..." Reina's face was flushed. She went limp and shrank into the quilt, only showing her red - hot cheeks as she murmured in a low voice.
The words "only you can do it" instantly melted the girl's heart.
However, before Sivis could leave the room, he heard Reina's muttering again.
"Young master, this time, you can't leave me behind."
"Don't worry." He casually perfunctorily replied.
After leaving the room, Sivis was in a much better mood. He went to the first floor of the hotel and said to the owner, who was wearing a purple long - coat: "I just checked in and haven't paid yet. I'll prepay for a month's room fee." As he took out a few gold coins, he signed "Sivis・Daister" on the bill.
Unexpectedly, the owner was suddenly stunned when he saw the name: "You are Young Master Sivis?"
"You know me?" Sivis clicked his tongue in surprise - in the more than ten years since he transmigrated, he had never been to the Church District.
The gods of the Holy See were just the winners of the God Wars. What was so noble about them?
If he was strong enough, he might as well take their place.
The owner pointed to the room that Sivis had just checked into: "I've seen the girl you were holding just now before."
Reina had come to the hotel?
Sivis was a bit puzzled.
The owner quickly explained.
"Not to my hotel! Don't get the wrong idea!"
"She came to the church to pray."
"At that time, the girl was at a loss. She didn't even know how to pray or make offerings. I taught her."
"She asked me if she could pray to the gods for 'her young master to be safe when going out to work hard'."
"The little girl dresses simply, but she's generous when it comes to offerings. She takes out a dozen gold coins each time..."
As he spoke, the inn - keeper suddenly pushed over a bottle of wine. "This bottle is on me. I can see you value her a lot. Seeing you two like this... I'm really happy."
Sivis was suddenly stunned. Reina had never been to the church before because her master, himself, didn't believe in gods.
But as a maid, the only thing she could do after her master left was to exchange her long - saved pocket money for incense, just to pray for Sivis's safety.
Sivis remembered the way the girl had been shy and annoyed when he once teased her, saying, "Save money without spending it. Are you saving it for your marriage?" At this moment, a pang of sadness welled up in his heart.
If it were someone else, he would surely laugh and call them "stupid", but for Reina...
He took the wine bottle, opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say anything.
The twilight outside the window was getting thicker, and the wailing sounds of Minnet City could be faintly heard. Sivis tightly gripped the black box in his palm and gently rubbed his fingers over it.
A few weeks ago, perhaps in the direction outside the inn.
The inn - keeper saw a girl standing there at a loss. She didn't believe in gods and wasn't a rich person who could often come to the church to make offerings.
But Reina could do nothing else. She was filled with nothing but worry and unease. The only thing she could do was to offer all the pocket money she had saved over the years, just to gain a little peace of mind and the illusory promise that "the young master will surely be safe".
Because... she wasn't by the side of the person she valued the most.
Sivis suddenly felt a bit regretful.
Was his tone a bit too flippant when he left the room just now?
He just took a quick look at the door on the second floor.
"Don't worry, Reina. I won't leave you behind this time."
"After becoming a Guardian, you'll be mine for life, and I'll never let you leave me." Sivis composed himself, thought for a while, and then turned and walked out of the inn.
He had a lot of things to do: he only took the Blood Shackles from the warehouse. He had to go back and deal with all the remaining resources. Most of them should be exchanged for gold coins. On one hand, he needed to purchase the materials required for Reina to transform into a Guardian, and on the other hand, he also needed to reopen the factory and rebuild the Daister family.
"After reopening the factory, producing glass and soap like before will bring in too thin a profit, and the money - making speed is too slow. I have to find a way to make something more profitable."
Sivis sorted out his thoughts.
He planned to sell perfume. Sivis had methods of extracting perfume using modern - day techniques in his mind. And this thing had extremely high profits even in his previous life before transmigrating, not to mention in this ancient medieval - era world.
Previously, he didn't make perfume not because he thought he would earn too much money, but because the profits were so huge that once the Daister family sold it, they would instead face a catastrophic disaster!
Now it was different. He was a figure comparable to the Holy Son of the Holy See, possessing extremely pure the power of holy light, and with the female knight Vikalina standing by his side.
Sivis dared to not pay a single cent of protection money and keep all the profits for himself!
Once the perfume was produced, it could amass wealth at an extremely fast speed, and the turnover rate was also quite high. Sivis seemed to have already foreseen that he would make a killing.
This time, he didn't need much preparation work. Back then, he had secretly set up a number of perfume production lines in the family, and he could just take them out and use them directly.
...
As Sivis was busy with his steps, the members of the Knight Order also arrived near the Daister family at this moment.
After the Blood Servants were wiped out, the members of the Knight Order cooperated with the sheriff to relocate some commoners back to their original residences.
Vikalina saw several members of the Knight Order walking towards some commoners with frightened expressions, as if they were going to ask something.
She also quickly found her target - a little girl standing by the wall and eating a hard piece of bread.
Vikalina showed a gentle smile.
