Immortal Creed

Chapter 128: Promotion to Knight


Liens hadn't expected to see this symbol here.

"God of Absolute Fairness."

Was this an accident?

Liens looked up at Lucrezia, who was calmly drinking tea, gave her a thoughtful glance, and then signed his pseudonym—Heier.

The contract above was fine; its general content was as follows:

Party B shall become Party A's close guard and shall not be able to resist Party A's commands; in return, Party A shall provide Party B with an Elemental Baptism Potion to help Party B become an Extraordinary Knight.

The conditions were not too harsh, even somewhat lenient.

Because in addition to the general content above, Lucrezia also added conditions such as "will not casually issue commands that would send Party B to their death," and "Party B possesses the ability to act freely and is not Party A's Slave."

It seemed to be making the contract relatively fair.

As Liens signed the name "Heier," the text on the parchment scroll lit up line by line, then faded.

It was as if the contract on it was being read by some existence.

A flash of light passed, and Liens saw that where "Heier" was originally written on the contract, it had changed to his real name—Liens.

Subsequently, in the depths of his being, he felt that he had established some connection with Lucrezia.

Lucrezia picked up the completed contract, glanced at it, then smiled faintly and said to Liens, "It seems you're hiding quite a few things from me, Liens, my close guard."

"I just haven't had a chance to say them yet... If Your Highness has anything she wishes to know, this subordinate will certainly tell all."

"However, may I ask if Your Highness can now fulfill the terms of the contract?"

"This subordinate has been looking forward to becoming an Extraordinary One for a long time."

Liens responded respectfully.

"My close guard, you're quite eager, aren't you? But I understand. Just wait for me for a moment..."

After Lucrezia finished speaking, she put away the contract scroll and got up, walking towards another room inside the house.

Through the open door, Liens could roughly see a soft, large bed, inferring that it must be Lucrezia's bedroom.

Soon, Lucrezia emerged from the bedroom, the item in her hand having changed from the contract scroll to a bottle of potion shimmering with colorful hues.

"Is this the Elemental Baptism Potion?"

Liens asked Lucrezia, his heart pounding with excitement.

"Yes, it is, and it's a highly complete Elemental Baptism Potion."

"It can help ordinary people advance to become an Extraordinary Knight. Its sufficiently high completion means that even if the advancement fails, it can still save your life."

"Although, given your conditions, failure is basically impossible."

"But it's still a form of insurance."

Lucrezia explained.

"Take it, it's what you deserve."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Once this subordinate advances to Knight, I will surely strive to repay your cultivation."

Liens took the potion, thanked Lucrezia again, and then cautiously asked Lucrezia, "By the way, Your Highness... Is this Elemental Baptism Potion to be drunk directly, or is there some special way to use it?"

Having finally obtained this potion, Liens didn't want to waste it due to his ignorance.

"Just drink it directly."

Lucrezia replied.

Upon hearing this, Liens no longer hesitated, directly pulled out the potion's stopper, and gulped down the colorful liquid.

As the liquid passed through his esophagus and entered his abdomen, he soon felt something surging into his body from all directions.

For a moment, he felt a bloating sensation in his body, which was very uncomfortable.

"Now, the elements are transforming your body. Don't worry, just endure it... If you have elemental talent, then this step will be much easier."

"Additionally, what you need to do now is empty your mind of distractions, try to perceive the elements surging into your body, and find the most abundant kind."

"That is probably the element most compatible with you. Finding it will help you on your future path."

"If possible, try to control it."

"Then make it expel other elements, so that it becomes the only elemental type in your body."

Lucrezia stood by, guiding Liens.

Upon hearing this, Liens closed his eyes and entered the state of "Killing Intent," raising his perception to its limit.

The reason he only entered the "Killing Intent" state now was because Gars had previously told him that when he entered this state, his demeanor became somewhat cold, and he looked at others as if they were dead, making him unapproachable.

And today, he was here to fawn over Lucrezia, so he certainly couldn't show her a cold face.

Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

"Hmm, that strong Killing Intent again."

"It seems the Killing Intent on him isn't simply directed at me; there's something special about it."

Lucrezia thought to herself as she sensed the Killing Intent rising in Liens's heart.

And as his perception increased, Liens "saw" a colorful world.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple—light spots of various colors were distributed in varying numbers throughout this special world.

He himself was like a large light bulb flashing with various colors.

At the same time, his body was like a vortex, continuously absorbing light spots of various colors into his body.

Liens observed that the most abundant light spots on him were cyan.

"Is it Wind Element?"

Liens recalled the cyan light clusters when the Wind Wolf released its Wind Blade, and the cyan magic circles released by the two mages of the Pello Family, guessing in his heart.

Subsequently, he tried to control the cyan light spots within his body according to Lucrezia's guidance.

How exactly to control them?

Liens only thought, and the cyan light spots, under his thought, continuously squeezed the living space of other elemental light spots.

Slowly, time passed.

Liens's body no longer had the ability to absorb all elements like a vortex.

But perhaps because the cyan elemental light spots had already occupied most of his body and possessed sufficient density,

he could still "see" cyan elemental light spots continuously entering his body from the outside.

At the same time, they continued to push other elemental light spots out of his body to occupy a larger share of his body.

Liens exited the "Killing Intent" state, opened his eyes, and looked around.

Although not as clear as before, he could still "see" the elemental light spots scattered throughout the room.

Among them, Lucrezia's body surface contained various elemental light spots, but there were none inside her body.

Unlike Liens, who, in his perception, was like a somewhat mixed-color cyan light bulb.

"Don't look, I've hidden my elemental reaction."

Lucrezia interrupted Liens's scanning gaze, then smiled and solemnly said to Liens:

"Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to Knight and officially stepped into the realm of an Extraordinary One!"
