Mixed Blessing System

She looked at that bone and clenched her fists, determined to get stronger and one day try to return the gesture to Lothur somehow.

There were countless ways to return good gestures. So even if she couldn’t give Soul Bones to him, she could do other things to please him.

“Thank you, Lothur. I will do my best not to waste this opportunity.” She said as she stored that bone in her spatial ring.

“But how will we escape? And what will we do after that?” She asked after taking another sip of wine.

He then said. “About that, I will open a passage through those formations. No one will notice us if we are fast enough.

As for what we will do afterward, we will return to Peters City. .

Currently, I can no longer show myself in public, but I want to settle some things there and put some order in the Ritter Motor Company.

After that, I want to fulfill a promise I made some time ago.” He remembered the soul fragment that had given him his first Soul Bone in payment for a mission he had left for Lothur to fulfill when he was strong enough.

Previously he had planned to leave to solve it as soon as he reached the 3rd stage. But things had gotten out of his control, and he had been sent to this place where magnificent opportunities presented themselves to him.

Then he had easily advanced through the 3rd stage, and now he would do this mission as a Saint, not as Transcendent as he had planned.

“Some time ago, when I was near Lewerenz with Elke, I found an inheritance from a powerful cultivator. He asked me to search for his family when I became stronger.

If it still existed, it would be my duty to pass on his inheritance to them and ensure they could enjoy it. Otherwise, it would be mine.

Now that I am a Saint, I am confident to go to the northern region and start the search for this family. So I intend to leave soon in search of it.”

Rebecca did not yet know of such a story, but heirlooms like these were not uncommon to appear.

Experts usually created heirlooms to pass on their wealth and knowledge and to mark their own passage through this vast world.

Even the most influential people would one day die, so leaving something behind was a way to stay ‘alive,’ at least through the memories and deeds of their heirs.

As much as it wasn’t easy for a person to find one of these, there were many stories of people who had the same luck as Lothur.

“Well, I hope you succeed…” She said. “And that it doesn’t take long. I will come and wait for you in Peters City.”

Rebecca could also no longer show herself to the public once she left the Imperial Prison. After all, she was supposed to be locked up in such a place…

She could even have a normal life if she left Leopoldine, but for the time being, she had no such intentions.

For the rest, she did not expect to travel alongside Lothur since he had become too strong for her to accompany him without causing trouble for him.

No matter how fast her progress was, she would be a burden to him from now on.

So she would rather wait in Peters City for his return, where perhaps she could participate in something at the Ritter Motor Company and help him somehow.

Lothur smiled at her. “I’ll try to be as quick as possible. Anyway, you and the others will be fine in Peters City while I’m gone.

I will take 100 criminals trapped in this place with us there. I intend to leave them under your command.”

“What?” She asked in surprise, as she still knew nothing about it. “Won’t that cause problems? These are pretty powerful cultivators… They might draw a lot of attention.”

“No, I intend to create the Shadow Guard once we return to Peters City. All these men will be members of that unit, and only you, Viktoria, Elke, Annaliese, and the Koch family will know about them.

In the meantime, they will remain invisible and only act on the command of you four.”

“Koch family?”

“Hmm, you will understand that in the future. For now, just understand that they now work for me, and my cars are not just means of transportation.”

“OK.”

After that, they continued talking for a while longer, with Lothur telling this woman about his experiences in the Secret Realm.

He didn’t know about the confrontation the Frost family had faced during the Secret Realm since he hadn’t had time to talk to his men in Peters City. But Rebecca knew about such a thing as she had participated in the actions of that day, which had caused her arrest.

As such, she told Lothur everything on this occasion when they were quietly talking and drinking.

Upon hearing this, Lothur had been somewhat surprised but pleased at how effective his spy network had proved to be in such a situation.

‘In the future, our actions will be even better. For now, we have few vehicles in circulation, and they are only in Peters City, basically.

But eventually, the whole empire and even other states will have my vehicles… At that time, we will spy on all the strongest in those places!’ He smiled internally, extremely pleased.

After this conversation, the two would have more fun, going to bed soon after, where they would spend hours playing until they fell asleep.

…

Early the next day…

Lothur and Rebecca woke up together this morning, both with their own plans for today.

She would start absorbing the Femur Soul Bone while he had another group of people to absorb their abilities.

Lothur then noted Rebecca’s status while eating breakfast served by his slaves.

[Name: Rebecca B?ttger]

[Soul Cultivation: level 15]

[Body Cultivation: level 15]

[STR: 115.5] [CON: 555.9] [DEX: 121.5] [AGI: 120.9]

[INT: 239] [PER: 131.1] [WIL: 150.2] [SOU: 185.5]

After seeing this and finishing his breakfast, Lothur kissed Rebecca and then left for another area of the City of Darkness, where his hostages were waiting for him.

When he arrived at that place, everyone waiting for him trembled with fear, knowing what was about to happen.

Lothur chose a certain number of people, favoring those with stronger constitutions to give him his first powers.

A few moments later, screams would come from that place as he absorbed not only the vitality of these people but their understanding of cultivation, resistance, and affinities.

In this way, he would achieve another breakthrough in resistance this morning!
