The Beria Family

Lorry arrived at the nearly intact Corpse "Bonebreaker" Sebas, "Blood-colored Thorn" Huntley, and Calm Scowal.

This implies a triple benefit:

First, the normal blood volume of an adult is between 4,000 and 5,000 milliliters. Even taking into account the slight loss caused by the battle and dismemberment, the remaining blood volume of the three corpses would not be less than 10,000 milliliters, which is enough for him to pay the price for using the "Curse of Knowledge" for a long time to Future.

Secondly, prior to this, "The Curse of Knowledge" did not include the abilities of "Serial Killer," "Harvest Priest," and "Wraith."

This means that once it has deciphered the knowledge contained within the blood, Lorry will be able to simulate all the Beyonder Ability under the corresponding Sequence.

Although its current power is only half of what it used to be.

Third, through Sacrifice, he could obtain the corresponding knowledge from the "Curse of Knowledge" and use it as material for his own fantasies.

Simply put, when Lorry uses the "Curse of Knowledge" or the "Book of Dimensions," he can imagine or draw more types of Illusions or figures in paintings.

Compared to money, these three gains, especially the latter two which represent an improvement in strength, further enrich his means of dealing with enemies.

Lorry believes these are the biggest takeaways from the trip.

He exhaled forcefully, watching the street gradually fill with people.

Busy vendors, farmers carrying Hoe, and fishermen returning from the tide are all captured in a vibrant scene under the bright sunshine.

No wonder Believer of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom always say "knowledge is power"; for them, power truly comes from knowledge.

"Also belonging to the ' Polymath ' Sequence, I have no doubt that Polymath with profound knowledge would utterly crush Polymath with shallow knowledge... Of course, given their philosophy and education system, it's impossible for Polymath with shallow knowledge to exist; there are only polymaths and even more polymaths..."

However, even when a "Polymath" simulates Beyonder Ability, there is still a probability of failure; the higher the Sequence exceeds itself, the greater the probability of failure.

The "Curse of Knowledge" does not have such restrictions; as long as the corresponding knowledge is analyzed, it can be used by paying a price.

"Of course, the corresponding price is also heavy, at least for Lieutenant Colonel." Lost in thought, Lorry's lips curled into a slight smile.

He remembered his superior, who would never ask for this Sealed Artifact unless it was urgently needed, and a smile appeared on his face, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Lorry held up the White Bone Ring high in the sunlight and examined it carefully, as if hoping to find some trace inside.

A few seconds later, he withdrew his hand in disappointment and stared down at it.

"After all these years of hard work, just consider this a long vacation for yourself. Take a good rest and leave the rest to me."

Your fiancée has become a clerk for the "Nighthawks," and everything is fine.

"As for how to wake you up, I've also come up with a plan, and I'll take action soon. There's a good chance of completing the first step."

"Of those who killed you, Altair has already gone to meet his great being, and the next one is the manipulator behind Parliamentarian Begat."

"I have a feeling I'll find him soon." With that, Lorry Ruibo popped the cork off the bottle, raised the bottle of strong liquor, and took a big gulp.

In a Manor Alese City, in the Southern Continent, in the East Balam.

A dozen or so people sat blankly in the council hall, exchanging glances, all wondering why the current clan leader had summoned them so early in the morning.

They were men and women, sitting in two rows, with a wide age range, from elderly people with wrinkles around their eyes to teenagers.

Of course, they also have commonalities.

Even as they chatted and laughed, the deepest coldness in their eyes never disappeared, as if it had been deeply ingrained in their bones.

And they all share the surname Beria.

"Cough!"

At the far left of the long table, a kind-looking, white-haired old man coughed softly, and the others, quite astutely, immediately shut their mouths.

Pali Beria Lorry, dressed in a long black dress, appeared at the entrance of the council chamber and walked straight to the furthest seat to sit down.

Her every move drew everyone's attention; their eyes were filled with fear, yet other emotions seemed to lurk beneath the surface.

But these emotions vanished after Pali Beria Lorry turned and sat down, and everyone looked in awe toward the head of the table.

This is the strongest member of their branch, the current clan leader!

For the Beria Family, and for those Beyonder have traversed the "Abyss" Pathway, the authority of those in high positions is not to be Provocation; otherwise, their fate is destined to be tragic.

For example, the Beyonder Characteristic of the few people who previously opposed the family's migration to the Southern Continent have already appeared in some of the people present.

If these people weren't still useful, I'd love to gouge their eyes out... Pali Beria Lorry thought to herself, her eyes darting around.

Clang.

A boy in the farthest distance was so stunned that he didn't even notice when he knocked over his teacup.

Seeing everyone looking over, even the alluring gaze at the front turned in their direction, the middle-aged gentleman next to him, who bore a resemblance to the young man, subtly changed his expression.

He hurriedly kicked his nephew and forced a dry laugh:

"Damien's digestion has been progressing well lately, so I'm a little excited."

He had invested a lot of resources in this nephew, and if he was killed for offending the clan chief before he could extract any value from him, he would suffer a huge loss!

The thought flashed through his mind, and the middle-aged gentleman nervously prayed in his heart to his elder brother, father, and grandfather.

Although his grandfather was killed by his father, his father died at the hands of his eldest brother, and he himself killed his eldest brother, he still knew they would protect him.

It's better to die at the hands of a loved one than to have Beyonder Characteristic taken back by the family.

Pali Beria Lorry glanced at the uncle and nephew, ignoring the former's clumsy explanation and the latter's flushed face.

As a "Demoness," she was well aware of her own allure; even women couldn't help but succumb to it, let alone inexperienced young men.

Her deep voice rang in everyone's ears:

"I remember Damien was already a ' Coldblooded a year ago?"

The middle-aged gentleman paused slightly, then suddenly realized something and nodded vigorously:

"Right!"

Pali Beria Lorry nodded slightly, then looked around.

"I am now issuing two tasks."

"First, under an identity that would not be suspected, gradually integrate into the local circle of Beyonder, and act as the eyes and tentacles of the family to gather intelligence."

"Everyone can participate, and the reward is Merit within the family."

"Second, investigate a member of the ' Rose School ' named ' Gibson,' Sequence 8 ' Lunatic,' a mixed-race individual in his thirties."

Brown curly hair, brownish skin, very thin, with no particularly distinctive features.

"He has only recently returned from the Northern Continent and is currently seeking Advancement become a ' Werewolf' —find his trail or bring him to me."

"The former rewards Merit, while the latter rewards the Beyonder Characteristic of a ' Serial Killer,' and neither is restricted to certain individuals."
