A gift from a god
Without much hesitation, Sebastian began to speak fluently:
"The specific methods of implementation mainly involve valuable knowledge about the Spirit World, existing life-extending techniques, and Sealed Artifact, which are accumulated little by little over time."
"As for the ' Eternal Life ' ritual, it's because of me..."
His voice trailed off, his miniature features showing deep bewilderment. "The design principles of the transformation ritual... I have absolutely no memory of them?"
"It's as if the relevant knowledge just appeared directly in my head!"
His tone suddenly became agitated, revealing a deep sense of unease and fear.
Edwina tried Soothing soothe the teacher, but found it had no effect. Then, an idea struck her: she deliberately redirected the teacher's attention.
"Teacher, don't worry."
"Think about it slowly... Is it possible that because of the reasons you mentioned before, your strength has declined and you've lost some of your memories?"
At the same time, she subtly mimicked the "Soothing" provided by a "Psychiatrist."
Sebastian, having calmed down somewhat, said decisively:
"No way!"
"The ritual may have gone awry, something I vaguely sensed while it was being performed. It most likely caused a decrease in my strength, but it definitely didn't affect my memories."
"As for being asleep... I have spent most of my time asleep during the years when I have no host, waiting to be awakened by a new destined person."
"But this is a conscious choice to preserve one's Spirituality and will not affect memory!"
Seeing that the teacher's emotions were about to become agitated again, Edwina quietly used "Soothing" techniques once more, while softly asking:
Do you still remember when you mastered the ritual of "Eternal Life"?
"When...?" Sebastian fell into deep thought.
He murmured:
"Although I have always been engrossed in the study of ' Eternal Life,' I have never neglected my regular teaching. I usually only pick up this subject after I have finished grading your assignments."
"I'm not married and live in a dormitory provided by the church. It's quite small, and I have a large collection of books, so I usually..."
The White Bone Ring trembled violently a few times.
Edwina thought something had happened to her teacher and was thinking about how to handle the situation when she suddenly heard his ethereal, dreamlike voice:
"It's Prayer Room... it's divine revelation..."
"The ' Eternal Life ' ritual was knowledge directly imparted to me by the God... No wonder I didn't know the specific principles behind it, and I subconsciously ignored them in my daily life..."
"He told me to master it, study it, perfect it..."
Captain's cabin.
Lorry looked with great interest at the latest contents of Groselle's Travels, only to find that the pages at the back were stuck together and could not be opened.
Click, the Bedroom door opened.
Footsteps sounded.
He turned around and saw "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina approaching, carrying White Bone Ring. She calmly said, "If you're interested, I can sell it to you."
Lorry shook his head and smiled:
"Never mind, my gut tells me it's not waiting for me."
Edwina nodded slightly, did not continue the conversation, and walked past Lorry to her seat.
The White Bone Ring flew back from her hand in a flash, floating in front of Lorry. Luo Rui seemed a little annoyed and said irritably:
"Kid, you now owe Edwina £15,000."
Don't forget to pay it back!
"Cough cough cough!" Lorry almost choked on his own saliva, his gaze shifting uncertainly between "Vice Admiral Iceberg" and the White Bone Ring.
No, what's going on?
The two of them had been inside for less than half an hour, and he had inexplicably incurred a debt of 15,000 pounds, which happened to be tied up in his savings.
Is this blatant robbery?
The White Bone Ring spun halfway through the air and said to Edwina, "You tell this kid to make his own decision."
A decision? What decision?
A thought struck Lorry. He raised his right hand, returning it to his middle finger in conjunction with the White Bone Ring, and turned to look at "Vice Admiral Iceberg" with a puzzled expression. "Madam?"
Edwina remained expressionless and said softly:
"Professor Sebastian's condition is very special; he can Advancement his level and increase the strength of this Sealed Artifact by absorbing Potion."
The 15,000 pounds he mentioned was the price of the "Mysticism Mentor" Potion.
Lorry was slightly taken aback, wondering if he had misheard:
"Wait, the strength of Sealed Artifact can be increased by absorbing Potion?"
Why didn't he mention this before?
"No other Sealed Artifact will work," the "Curse of Eternal Life" was an accident, but I can't explain the specific reasons to you.
As for why Professor Sebastian didn't tell you...
Edwina thought for a moment and said, "There's a greater than 90% chance that he knows you have almost no chance of getting the ' Mysticism Mentor ' Potion."
"It's pointless to say anything, so why not just keep quiet?" Lorry thought to himself.
He didn't speak, continuing to read "Vice Admiral Iceberg".
Soon, Edwina spoke again:
According to Professor Sebastian's speculation, the "Curse of Eternal Life" will have the following two additional effects after consuming the "Mysticism Mentor's " Potion:
"First, the power of 'Simulation' has been further enhanced, and it can exert an effect equivalent to 60% of the original Beyonder Ability."
"Secondly, we can use the secret techniques mastered by Professor Sebastian."
There are a total of eighteen types, including the nine secret arts he naturally mastered when he Advancement "Mysticism Mentor" and the nine powerful secret arts he created himself.
The specific names are...
"In addition, he guessed that after Advancement in the ' Curse of Eternal Life,' his control over it would deepen further."
"Perhaps we can find where the souls of the previous owners, which were devoured, are hidden."
After speaking, she paused briefly and asked:
Do you need it?
Lorry nodded without hesitation, but quickly put on an apologetic expression:
"Madam, could you give me some time to raise the money?"
"Having already decided to purchase the Sealed Artifact corresponding to the ' Fire Thief,' I am temporarily unable to pay another 15,000 pounds."
Edwina waited patiently for him to finish speaking, then asked:
How much can you afford?
Lorry recalled that the price of the "Fire Seed" in the Original Novel was 7,000 pounds, and he should keep some extra money in case of emergencies.
After a moment's hesitation, he spoke:
"At most seven thousand pounds."
As soon as she finished speaking, Edwina nodded gently:
"I will pay the remaining amount on your behalf, but you need to pay it back within three months of receiving the Potion. Can you accept this offer?"
Earning £8,000 in three months shouldn't be a problem... After all, there are wallets everywhere on the high seas, and you'll only earn money faster as your skills improve...
Thinking of this, Lorry readily agreed:
"But I have two questions: First, is collateral required?"
Second, what is the interest rate?
"No collateral," Edwina said flatly, glancing at Lorry before adding, "And no interest either."
"I have only one condition: treat Mr. Sebastian well."
