More people flocked to Flame Island to "hunt for treasure," leading to the successive discovery of Fire Gems that met the requirements. As for Carl, he also began to try forging Seals. 「Several months later.」 With a muffled sound, the Fire Gem in Carl’s hand shattered on the spot, turning into scrap. He lifted his brow, and the goose feather pen hovering in mid-air autonomously approached the Magic Paper. It’s best to complete the Magic Circuit in one go. If not, pauses can only be made at three specific nodes. The quality of the Fire Gem affects the success rate... Before forging, one must check the Fire Gem for any internal cracks. If any are found, check whether they intersect the pathway of the Magic Circuit being engraved. Carl sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, surrounded by piles of various red gems and successfully forged low-level Seals. There were even two First Order Seals! Those two First Order Seals were forged by coincidence and, for now, didn’t represent his true skill. The Chain Fireball, a One-Circle Witchcraft, consists of three Zero-Circle Magic spells. I have mastered two of them. Additionally, despite successfully forging hundreds of low-grade Fireball Seals and possessing the absolute rationality bestowed by the Divine Domain Fragment, I still can’t forge a First Order Seal... Indeed, I do not possess this talent! To be honest, if any other Wizard saw him wasting materials , they would probably vomit blood on the spot. So many Fire Gems could nurture a qualified First Order Seal Master. After all, other Wizards are extremely cautious with every forging attempt. They only act when their spiritual power is fully replenished, unlike Carl’s relentless pace of forging one Seal after another. However, by disregarding losses, his proficiency in Seal forging surged, especially when focusing on only one type of Seal. 「Half a month later.」 Carl looked at the Seal before him, a hint of a smile on his face. It was a barely qualified Seal. Its color was ruddy, the Magic Circuit within was seamlessly integrated, and the flame essence was condensed. A Consecutive Fireball Seal! And moreover, it was of high quality! However, this high quality wasn’t due to Carl’s forging skill but was a bonus from the quality of the red gem. It’s roughly equivalent to witchcraft cast by a mid-level Wizard, quite a bit stronger than my own spellcasting. Wait... I haven’t constructed Chain Fireball in my Spiritual Inner Sea. Currently, my success rate in forging the Consecutive Fireball Seal is only 20 percent. Progress will be slow if I continue. With ten First Order Seals on hand, that should be enough. He then checked his data panel. Level: Legendary Knight, First Circle Wizard Abyss Bloodline Fusion: 30% The Source Material came from selling Rage Potions during this period, at a price of four Great Divine Grace each. But for Carl now, the Source Material to attribute point ratio was 4:1, so whether to exchange it or not didn’t matter much. It was the bloodline fusion rate that had not increased, making it necessary to move the refining of the Blood Pill up the agenda. 「Arriving at Jiliu City Castle.」 The Desecration Knight Yana was still polishing her Great Sword. Her strands of hair had changed again; silver-white as silk, her eyes now pitch black, deep and profound. "Guardian," Yana said, looking up as Carl descended the stairs. "I sense a familiar presence nearing Jiliu City... perhaps the Holy Hall can no longer wait." Her mission in Jiliu City was twofold: protecting Carl was one aspect, but bringing him back to the Holy Hall was an even higher priority. But she had begun to question the orders from the Holy Hall and wasn’t certain she could forcefully take Carl, hence she had taken no action. Due to her repeated delays, the Holy Hall was apparently planning to take matters into its own hands. "I don’t plan on going to the Holy Hall," Carl shrugged, "at least, not right now." "Then..." Yana said, her head bowed, "the people coming this time will likely use force." "Is that so?" Carl was nonchalant. As long as no Second Order opponents appeared, he had little to fear. He casually asked, "Whose side will you take?" Then, facing Carl, she knelt on one knee, resting a hand on her sword’s pommel and bowing her head. "You are Divine Will, not to be desecrated." "Yana," Carl sighed, "you are the Desecration Knight!" "Forget it!" Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 He waved his hand. "Ayala is already near Crocodile Island; let’s head there too. As for the Holy Hall... we’ll deal with it when we get back." With a flick of his sleeve, the Magic Flying Carpet, reforged by Inid, flew out on its own and floated before the two of them. Once the pair stood on it, the Magic Flying Carpet trembled lightly and then shot into the sky at an astonishing speed. Standing on the one-meter-square Flying Carpet, Yana was initially flustered but then realized that despite the Carpet’s speed, she was utterly unaffected. A flicker of surprise passed through her eyes. Another act of Divine Power? Over thirty miles from Jiliu City, several shadows raced across the rugged mountain terrain, their speed comparable to galloping horses. Even a Great Knight upon seeing them would change countenance drastically. And not just one, but several Legendary Knights! One of them suddenly stopped. As he halted, the other figures instantly froze as if a pause button had been pressed. The abrupt switch from rapid advance to a sudden stop seemed jarring, yet it did not affect their movements in the least. From under the cloak, a pair of hawklike eyes gazed into the distance. Two traces of a Desecration Knight’s aura? Besides Yana, who else is in Jiliu City? Desecration Knights were just the first batch of test subjects. They were good, indeed, but possessing rationality means they can’t be fully controlled. The second-generation products are the true perfection. Saying this, he looked at the few ’people’ beside him with a smile.
