"Magic Seals?"
Before Karl could ask, Eve Dorn's face had changed drastically, and she hurriedly said.
"Lev, don't forget what you promised me!"
"Of course." Old Lev nodded, his voice lonely, and waved to let everyone else leave, leaving only Aya and Nan.
He then continued:
"I won't forget what I promised you. The seal on me originally belonged to the Dorn family, and I will return it to the Dorn family."
"Humph!" Eve snorted coldly: "You'd better remember, if it weren't for the seal on you, do you think I would come to help?"
Karl raised his eyebrows.
It seems that Old Lev is definitely not an ordinary person.
He has breathing techniques, martial arts, and a seal, but his situation seems far from good.
"Sorry."
Turning around, Old Lev smiled apologetically at Karl: "I can't give you the seal, but I do know a lot about it."
"It doesn't matter." Karl shook his head: "Knowledge is also a kind of wealth."
"Knowledge is also a kind of wealth?" Old Lev muttered, his eyes blank: "Everyone should remember this. Old guys like me are not without value."
"Then..." Karl asked curiously: "Where did the inheritance of the seal come from in the first place?"
"The inheritance of the seal is so long that it cannot be verified. Perhaps it was before the Moon Goddess fell." Old Lev shook his head.
"The seal on me traces back to the Duke of Griffin, and the seals of others mostly come from a duke."
The seal comes from a duke?
As far as Karl knows, there is no real kingdom in this world, so there is naturally no king, only many dukes occupying various places.
The most famous are the nine dukes.
Duke Taidar of Black City is one of the nine dukes, known for his cruelty and madness.
In this world, a duke is not just a title, but also a symbol of power, authority, and strength.
Each duke has extremely strong military power.
This is completely different from the Kingdom of Gondor.
Karl continued to ask:
"How can one master the power of the seal?"
"If the person who has the seal is still alive, he can give his seal to others." Old Lev replied.
"If he is dead, he needs a seal seed to activate it, but the time cannot be delayed too long, otherwise, without the nourishment of blood and qi, the seal will completely dissipate."
"Seal seed?" Karl's eyes moved slightly: "Do you have it?"
"Hmm..." Old Lev looked surprised, but did not ask if Karl had a seal in his hand, but said.
"Not everyone can bear the seal."
"In fact, most people cannot possess the power of the seal, even at the cost of their lives."
Karl's face was solemn: "Why?"
"I don't know." Old Lev shook his head: "If you want to possess the seal, you need to go through the test. If you pass the test, you will naturally have the power of the seal."
"If you fail..."
"You will probably die."
Karl frowned.
He only has one life, and he is not willing to take this chance. Is it possible that he still needs to continue analyzing, but he is afraid that there is not enough time. The texture of the seal in the solidified liquid is becoming blurred.
"Of course."
Old Lev continued:
"If it is a knight's squire, I have a way to save his life, but if it doesn't work, he will have to rest for a while before he can recover."
This method is not unique to him, otherwise there would not be so many knights willing to try to accept the seal. People always cherish their lives.
"Oh!"
Karl was relieved and asked with a smile: "If so, wouldn't it be possible to have the seal 100%?"
"How could it be?" Old Lev shook his head: "If it fails once, it means it will never work. Without this talent, even a knight can't do it."
Hmm?
Can it be like this?
This is similar to the wizard's talent. Without talent, you can't learn witchcraft.
But he didn't know if the seal talent overlaps with the wizard's talent. If so, then Karl can give it a try.
"There is one more thing."
Old Lev said,
"The seal has magical power, and some powerful seals are even more mysterious. However, once you accept the seal, it will be difficult for you to continue on the road of knighthood."
"Even if you have the flesh and blood of an exotic beast, it is still the same, unless you transfer the seal on your body to someone else."
"Wait a minute!" Karl raised his hand, his face solemn:
"You just said..."
"Flesh of exotic beasts?"
"Yes." Old Lev nodded: "Flesh of exotic beasts, which contains life force and can help knights practice, have you not heard of it?"
Have he heard of it?
Of course Karl had heard of it!
However, in the Kingdom of Gondor, exotic beasts were almost extinct a long time ago, and exotic beast meat was an extremely rare thing. Only a very small number of people were qualified to take it.
The life potion that can help knight squires to be promoted to knights is said to be extracted from exotic beast meat.
This kind of thing, he didn't even dare to think about it before.
So he immediately asked.
"Is there any way to get exotic beast meat in Black City?"
"This..." Old Lev hesitated: "Several exotic beast nests underground are controlled by several major forces in the city. It is difficult for outsiders to get them. But they can be exchanged with the city guards with black stones."
"But no matter which channel, the amount flowing out is not large."
Karl was relieved.
It's okay to not have it now!
It's still better than nothing even if the amount is small and difficult to get.
"Uncle."
Aya said at the right time: "I have collected some soul powder recently. I wonder when you need it?"
Karl looked thoughtful.
If he agreed at this time, it would not only mean that the cooperation between the two parties would continue, but also that the relationship would be closer than before. If he didn't agree, the loss would not be great, but whether it was exotic beast meat or other things, he would have to find another way.
"This is the seal seed." Seeing him hesitate, Old Lev took out something from his arms and said,
"It's a gift for our first meeting."
"Hmm..." Karl looked at him with surprise, then smiled calmly: "Thank you!"
He then looked at Aya again.
"The transaction will be in two days."
"If you have anything you need urgently, you can make a list and I will find a way to send it to you."
"Okay!" Aya was overjoyed.
"Great!"
Old Lev also smiled.
…
"Anyway, I have to learn more about the other world. In this case, it's okay to start with Aya and her group."
"It's familiar, more convenient, and relatively safe. Just think of it as training an agent."
After returning to the fragment of the divine domain, Karl put down the things in his hand and waved his hand to summon his data panel.
Name: Karl (Lord of the Fragment of the Divine Domain)
Physique: 0.78
Mental Power: 1.25
Occupation: Knight Squire, Junior Wizard Apprentice
With a constant supply of Light of Wisdom potions, Karl's mental power has risen to 1.25 in a short period of time.
However, taking the same potion for a long time will make the human body resistant to it, and the Light of Wisdom is no exception.
Nowadays, the effect of taking potions is only half of what it was at the beginning.
But it is enough for Karl, at least before becoming an intermediate apprentice, he does not need to worry about potions that increase mental power.
In addition, with his current mental power, he is qualified to learn the second zero-ring witchcraft.
But first, Adolf is not at home. Secondly, he is afraid that revealing his talent rashly will attract the covetousness of others, so he has not sought it for the time being.
"There is no way to witchcraft, so why not try the seal first. Anyway, the seal can be removed from the body at any time, and it will only waste a few days of rest at most."
Taking out the seal seed, Karl thought to himself.
