Chapter 70 - Blood Tribute

Its function, just as its name implies, is to induce sleep.

Amelia then picked up the round, star-point crystal: "This is a 'Charm Incantation of Tracking'. It allows you to track and lock onto a target. It requires a commonly used item from the target as a medium, preferably blood."

"Finally."

Lex followed his mother's gaze to the triangular white crystal, and heard his mother say:

"This is a 'Charm Incantation of Flashing'. It has no offensive effect, but it can create a strong Light, making everything around you a blinding white."

"They must be activated with ancient hermes and then infused with your spirituality. You have about 3 seconds to throw them at the target for them to take effect."

"The incantations for activating these three Talismanic Incantations are 'Night', 'Tracking', and 'Flash' respectively."

Lex noted them down. He had already learned ancient hermes, and the activation incantations were just single words, easy to remember.

Amelia said with a smile: "It's important to note that Charm Incantations are single-use consumables, so only use them when necessary. Although they are not as good as magical items, the advantage is that they have no negative side effects."

"Now then..."

She picked up the elegant crimson revolver: "This is a magical item called 'blood praise'. It can add random mystic effects to bullets, including but not limited to blood boiling, blood dissipation, poisoning, weakness, slowness, etc." 

"Pay attention to its hammer."

At his mother's reminder, Lex carefully looked at the revolver's hammer and found that it had two sharp points, like the fangs of some venomous snake.

"When you pull the hammer, this revolver will absorb your blood. It will enhance the mystic effect of your next bullet and will add additional effects based on the user's own characteristics."

After a slight pause, Amelia's smile faded, and her expression became serious: "Finally, it's important to note that all magical items have negative side effects."

"This pistol is no exception, and its negative effects must be taken seriously. Every time you use it, during combat, it will, with a very low probability, emit a strange sound, like the singing of a church choir."

"The singing will cause mental disorientation regardless of friend or foe. The singing is difficult to resist, and the higher the Sequence, the easier it is to resist. Moreover, it has certain unknown effects."

"It will strengthen, invigorate, and restore the stamina of surrounding spiritual creatures and Spirit Realm creatures."

"In addition, on sunday, the mystic effects may occasionally fail, and after each use, it needs to be fed the wielder's blood, only about one to ten milliliters is sufficient."

After speaking, Amelia glanced at Lex: "Did you remember?"

"I remembered."

Amelia nodded gently, smiling: "This is all I can do for you. In any case, you must be very careful."

"I will, Mom."

Amelia put the revolver back in the box and closed the metal lid: "So, when do you plan to say goodbye to your younger siblings?"

Lex pondered: "Tomorrow night, how does that sound?"

Amelia looked at him gently: "I respect all your decisions."

Then, she took out an envelope and handed it to Lex: "Your father should have told you that the clues for the 'Hunter' Sequence 8 potion are in Tingen City."

Lex took the envelope and nodded.

"After you arrive in Tingen City, look for a man named Kyle Gaden. He was a friend of mine from my adventuring days. He is a Sequence 8 'Provoker' of the Hunter Pathway, and he knows the Provoker's potion formula."

"If he hasn't moved, he should still be living at 5 Narcisus Street. Even if he has moved, he should still be in Tingen."

"Because his wife is a local resident of Tingen City, they shouldn't leave Tingen."

"He owes me a favor, so when he sees this letter, he should tell you the formula. You can learn from him how to properly play the role of a 'Provoker'; I remember he was very good at it."

Amelia sighed softly: "That's all I know about the 'Hunter' potion. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path."

"Don't worry." Lex waved the envelope in his hand, "There are always more solutions than problems. I will continue down this path, and go far enough."

Hearing Lex say this, Amelia didn't show any sign of happiness: "It's actually better not to go too far down this Path."

"Why, Mom?" Lex looked curiously at the woman in front of him.

His mother shook her head: "It's nothing, just an old woman's sentimentality. You don't need to take it to heart."

Lex said seriously: "Mom, you're not old at all."

Amelia laughed: "You have such a sweet tongue. When you go to Tingen, don't lead too many girls astray."

Lex's old face flushed: "Mom, I'm not that kind of person."

Taking his mother's 'gifts', Lex returned to his room, dismissed his personal valet, drew the curtains, and began to summon the Mysterious Book.

After performing the ritual, the illusory, heavy tome landed in Lex's hands.

The cover and inner pages turned by themselves, arriving at the Artisan of Mysteries page.

Lex saw that the number of dimensional crystal had changed again.

He now had 171 of them!

Record.

'Hanging Salted Fish on the Bedhead thinks highly of you and rewarded 100 dimensional coin, which has been automatically converted into 1 dimensional crystal.'

'Lord of Azure said 'Keep it up' to you and rewarded 100 dimensional coin, which has been automatically converted into 1 dimensional crystal.'

'My World 12 said 'Hurry up' and rewarded 100 dimensional coin.'

'I Am Just A Little Rookie thinks you're great and rewarded 200 dimensional coin.'

'544455AF thinks you're awesome and rewarded 100 dimensional coin.'

'Cloud thinks highly of you and rewarded another 400 dimensional coin.'

'Floating Clouds Like Wood said 'Old buddy' to you and rewarded 100 dimensional coin.'

Praise the Observers, they have helped me again. With so many dimensional crystal, I must make good use of them.

Lex looked down.

'The tag 'lord of traps' has received more than 50 likes. Your ability in traps has increased by 1%.'

'You have gained a new tag: National Husband.'

'This tag has received more than 1 praise. Your attractiveness to the opposite sex has increased, and your charm has received a slight boost.'

National Husband?

Which Reader put this tag on me? Is this to make me flirt around? No way, no way, besides, I'm not that kind of person.

Lex was torn between laughter and tears, but increased charm was also good; it would play an unexpected role in social situations.

So, I still have to thank the Observers; I didn't expect them to be able to do even this.

Composing himself, Lex opened the metal box next to him, took out the crimson revolver, gripped it, and communicated with the Mysterious Book using his consciousness, giving the 'Enhance' command.

At this moment, a line of information appeared on the page.

'Enhancing this item will cost 38 dimensional crystal. Do you wish to continue?'
