Chapter 264 The Unexpected Heir
"After the news of the Knight's inheritance was leaked, several conflicts broke out between the local faction and the border faction. Some of the local faction's extraordinary people are confronting the border faction's extraordinary people."
"Is anyone dead?"
"All the locals who tried to sneak into the camp were killed. According to the news, two third-level knights and ten second-level knights were killed, and more than twenty first-level knights were killed."
"Excuse me, what's the situation now?"
"Seven days ago, the knight's legacy was inherited by Julius. Currently, the local faction and the border faction have ended their confrontation. However, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger. Many people from both the local faction and the border faction have sent people to visit Old Qi."
"Well, wait, who inherits it?"
Roland turned his head and looked at Hela with some surprise, and said hesitantly.
"Julius?"
"Ah."
Hela nodded.
"Consul of the Administrative Department?"
"Ah."
"Isn't it a duplicate name?"
"No."
Roland fell into deep thought.
Although the knight's inheritance can be inherited by a spellcaster, are you really going to let a spellcaster inherit it?
Well, no, maybe Julius gave up the path of a spellcaster and turned into a knight.
After all, she was also from Donnar, so it was normal for her to want to be a knight rather than a spellcaster.
Thinking of this, Roland continued.
"She became a knight? How strong is she?"
"No, she seems to be a third-ring spellcaster now. I'm not sure, but what is certain is that she is still a spellcaster."
Hela shook her head and explained.
"Oh okay."
As Roland spoke, he also had a hunch.
He got to see Julius.
Although it was just a feeling, Roland did not ignore it as an illusion, but spoke directly.
"Let's go back to the old Qi first."
"Ah."
Roland and Hela left the barracks and returned to Jiuqi as soon as they said they would. At the same time, Roland immediately summoned Julius.
After receiving Roland's order, Julius quickly arrived in front of Roland.
Compared to the Julius that Roland had seen before, the current Julius' height had not changed, but his previously dull blond hair had become brighter, and his emerald green eyes also carried a hint of mystery.
Thick light elements surrounded her.
Looking at Julius, who had a strange aura in front of him, Roland frowned slightly and spoke.
"You have been promoted to the fourth ring?"
Julius hesitated after hearing Roland's words. She shook her head, nodded, and said.
"Got promoted, but it seems like I failed again."
"Come here, let me check it out."
Roland waved his hand, motioning her to come closer.
Julius walked in front of Roland, less than fifty centimeters away.
"Relax, don't resist." Roland stretched out his right index finger and placed it on Julius' forehead.
Julius closed his eyes obediently and relaxed his whole body.
"meditation."
Roland spoke as he extended his sense into her forehead.
After hearing Roland's words, Julius stood there and began to meditate.
After Julius entered deep meditation, Roland also successfully captured her soul space.
Then, Roland saw a bright sea of souls emitting holy light.
Roland could sense that the quality of this sea of soul was very high. The only problem was that there was too little of it. Not to mention a puddle, it was probably just a cup of water.
Moreover, the light of the sea of souls radiating holy light is dimming at an extremely slow rate.
Roland peeked into Julius's sea of soul and couldn't control his expression.
No, there is no such evil quick method. I didn’t teach you to do it this way.
Julius's situation was very simple. Using the power inherited from the knight, she tore open the protective film of her soul at the first level and completed the first sublimation of her soul.
Although the quality is fine, the quantity is too small.
This was one of the evil quick-fix plans used by the spellcaster in the previous life. By absorbing a large amount of elements and energy, it ignored all conditions for soul sublimation, forcibly tore open the soul's protective membrane, and sublimated the soul.
The advantages are obvious. One can obtain part of the power of a fourth-ring spellcaster in advance. Moreover, the efficiency of meditation upgrades will be greatly improved, allowing the spellcaster to be promoted faster.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. The reason why the fourth-ring spellcaster tears open the soul protection membrane is that his own strength is enough to protect himself and he no longer needs the soul protection membrane.
The reason why the soul protection membrane is called a protective membrane rather than a restrictive membrane is because the main function of the soul protection membrane is to protect the soul from external malicious influences and destruction.
If they tear off the soul protection film in advance, it means that they will have to use the soul power of low-level spellcasters to fight against the malice themselves.
In addition, the most important point is that although low-level spellcasters have obtained some of the power of fourth-ring spellcasters in advance, they have not yet been able to completely control their own souls, and they still need to try to control and master the sea of souls on their own.
Controlling the sea of souls is much more difficult than controlling a soul bound by a protective membrane.
Therefore, this kind of unorthodox and quick solution is rarely used even by players. Only those who are originally high-level spellcasters or legends will use this method when they start a new account.
However, this plan was not created by players. It originated from the Tower of Truth, and players simply expanded and supplemented it.
The spellcasters of the Tower of Truth had naturally artificially created similar situations, but the results were not very good. Low-level spellcasters whose soul protective membranes had been torn apart would either only be able to be pseudo-fourth-ring spellcasters for the rest of their lives, or would die suddenly due to soul decay and could not be saved.
Fortunately, Julius was Roland's subordinate, otherwise if she did this, the result would definitely be the latter, and he would die suddenly due to the decline of his soul.
Roland withdrew his perception and his fingers at the same time.
Julius also opened his eyes and looked at Roland in front of him.
"In the next few days, leave government affairs to others, don't overuse your brain, stop your daily meditation, and have a good rest for a few days."
Roland began to speak.
Julius had a complicated expression when she heard Roland's words. She was silent for a while and then spoke.
"Am I going to die?"
"No."
Roland shook his head and explained.
"Your condition is quite complicated. Before treatment, you need to stay in good condition. Don't worry, you won't die. Even if you die, I can bring you back. Go down and rest."
As the archon of the administrative department, Julius knew a thing or two about the fountain of life in the military camp. Even if she died, there was a high probability that she could be resurrected.
Of course, the most important point is that she believes in Roland.
"Yes."
After saying that, Julius turned and left the room.
