My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 153 Rodney’s Choice
It took a while for Tiffany to calm down.

Crown didn't offer any more comfort. Such sadness could only take time to calm down.

He took out the gift he had prepared. The two children, who still didn't understand what sadness was, happily took it and ran back to their room to play.

Tiffany took the hat and said perfunctorily: "Thank you, it's so beautiful."

After saying that, she casually put her hat on the armrest of the sofa, took out a white handkerchief with pink lace and wiped the tears that had flowed out again.

Rodney took the pipe and nodded, sitting next to his wife and holding her head.

Tiffany's tears couldn't stop flowing down: "I have lost two family members, and now I can't agree with your decision. Even if you successfully participate in the training program, you will definitely be sent to work in a more dangerous place, right?! When I can’t bear the bad consequences coming.”

"Your choice is to sit back and wait for death. Danger will always come inadvertently. We cannot choose our fate, but we can choose to become stronger to face all the difficulties in the future."

As Crown listened to the words of the two people, he realized what kind of differences might have occurred between them before he came, and they were having an awkward moment.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he knocked so hard but it took so long before someone came to open the door.

"What's wrong with you guys? It seems like they had a quarrel over something?"

"Let Rodney tell you," Tiffany choked.

Rodney gently stroked his wife's long chestnut hair with his hand and spoke in a low voice:

"I have heard that the towns under the city's jurisdiction are moving here, but people from many towns have suffered serious casualties. I didn't dare to tell your sister about this situation, so I secretly asked a friend to find out and let him have Zac Town Tell me the news immediately.

Later, my friend told me that you were not included in the list of people compiled by Zach Town.

Crown, it’s been many days since Zack Town moved here. Where have you been? "

Hearing that his brother-in-law had done so much secretly, a trace of warmth flashed in Kroun's eyes:
"I did not follow the ordinary people. I was separated from the townspeople when I came to Rhine City. I belong to the church's Crusaders and currently serve in the Security Bureau."

"The Crusader? You work in the Security Bureau?" Rodney looked excited. He didn't quite understand what the Crusader was, but he clearly knew what the Security Bureau meant.

The Patrol Bureau will assess the risk level of supernatural cases that occur, and those with higher levels of risk will be transferred to the Security Bureau for processing.

"Do you have a clerical job?" Rodney asked immediately.

"No," Crown shook his head: "I'm not destined to sit in an office and drink tea. I'm a combatant."

Rodney became even more excited. The security bureau's combatants must be super soldiers. The wife is worried about her safety, but her brother now works in a very dangerous department.

He didn't know how his brother-in-law suddenly turned into a super soldier of the church, but he knew that the other party would definitely understand his choice.

"Crown, you have to help me persuade your sister. I want to join a training program with the goal of becoming a super soldier like you, but your sister doesn't agree.

Tiffany, the Security Bureau is an agency that specializes in dealing with supernatural events. Crown's job is much more dangerous than mine. He must have become a super soldier. You can know the more real side of the world from his mouth.

Tell Tiffany, is the world becoming less and less safe? Is it true that only by becoming a super soldier can you have the power to protect your loved ones? "

Rodney unkindly pulled his brother-in-law into the water.

Tiffany stopped crying, sat up straight, and asked sternly: "Is what Rodney said true? Are you dealing with those scary monsters every day now?"

"It's not like we deal with him every day. I'm on vacation right now. I think the current risks at work are still within control." Crown glanced at Rodney and winked at him.

He said "Yeah" and continued: "The world is indeed changing, and it will be more dangerous in the future. If you want to protect yourself, becoming a transcendent is inevitable."

"Look, I'm right. Only by becoming a transcendent can you protect yourself and your loved ones," Rodney said. He nodded cryptically at his brother-in-law:
"Tell me, what kind of extraordinary person are you now, and what amazing abilities do you have? I only know that there are many kinds of extraordinary people, but I can't understand the difference between them at all."

When Kroun saw his sister looking at him curiously, he nodded slightly and began to describe the differences between extraordinary people:

"Let me talk about the extraordinary ones in the church first. We are divided into two types, one is the exorcist priest, and the other is the flame warrior like me, which is a special branch of the knight profession."

One of the purposes of his visit today was to inform his sister's family about the current changes in the world, and to encourage them to become extraordinary beings. Originally, he was still thinking about the starting point of the topic, but now he no longer needs to.

He didn't dare to vouch for other extraordinary professions, but if he wanted to become a spirit master, he should be sure of it.

He planned to teach the golden light spell to his sister first to see if the other party would have any effect after practicing it.

"Warlock, demon hunter. The last kind of transcendent is the spirit master, who captures a spiritual creature for him to control. His abilities vary widely, depending on the creature he captures."

Rodney nodded: "Yes, the plan I participated in was to train a spirit master. The director told me that the spiritual awakening ceremony for a spirit master requires two thousand gold shields in materials. I don't know if that's true."

Spiritual Enlightenment Ceremony, this name immediately changed the dark style of painting into a much brighter one. Crown laughed. He now admired the words of those publicists:
"If the spirit control conditions used in the spirit enlightenment ceremony are good, it will indeed require two thousand gold shields or even more."

"It is a training program jointly organized by the Patrol Headquarters and the Brotherhood. They said that the participants selected this time are all elites, and the soul masters used to initiate the spirits are even more selected," Rodney said happily.

"But it's very risky to become a spirit master, otherwise Rodney wouldn't be so hesitant. Is it dangerous for you to become a flame warrior?" Tiffany didn't believe in the good things of pie falling from the sky. The food dropped by the fish will always be Concealed hook.

Crown explained: "Every extraordinary achievement has risks. Those children who have been trained since childhood are relatively less risky, but we have missed it. In fact, it is relatively easy to become a spirit master, and I can also help reduce the risks."

Tears fell from Tiffany's eyes again:

"Can you still reduce the risk to zero?! I said that no matter how high your success rate is, it is actually only 50.00%. This is a coin-tossing gamble, and the chip is your life. I I don’t even know if you deliberately exaggerated the success rate.”

"Crown nodded and said firmly: "I can indeed reduce the risk of becoming a spirit master to zero. "

"I don't believe that if there is such a way, how can such a huge organization like the Patrol Headquarters know about it but you don't know about it?" Tiffany shook her head.

Rodney's eyes widened unconsciously, but he soon returned to normal, and he only took them as his brother-in-law's comforting words.

"This is a method that is unique to me," Kroun said leisurely, "In the last supernatural event I experienced, I awakened a special ability when I was dying, otherwise I would have died long ago.

This ability can create an item to ensure the absolute safety of the spiritual enlightenment ceremony. How could I make fun of my brother-in-law's life? ! "

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. This kind of item requires a special substance to be made, so there is no possibility of promoting it at the moment." Crown said, taking out a Pure Heart Talisman and a Golden Light Talisman respectively.

"Don't move." He put the Pure Heart Talisman on his sister's cheek, "How do you feel now?"

"Well, it seems that I drank a particularly refreshing potion. It's refreshing and cool, and my thinking is very clear."

Kroun took off the Pure Heart Talisman and replaced it with the Golden Light Talisman and put it on: "What now?"

"It's warm, like basking in the sun by the glass window on a winter afternoon." Tiffany had an incredible expression on her face. "Are these two pieces of paper so magical?"

"There is something even more magical." Crown took off the golden light talisman, stimulated the power contained in the talisman, and released the golden armor technique and the moon spirit shield.

The gold and silver aura shone and slowly dissipated. Tiffany and Tiffany touched the golden light film on the back of their hands and exclaimed: "What is this?"

"A layer of spiritual armor that protects against attacks. Are there any daggers or scissors here?"

"Oh, no. What do you want to do? Can you use a kitchen knife? I'll get it if you can."

"can."

Rodney immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Crown took the kitchen knife, held his brother-in-law's hand, and raised the knife.

Before either of them could react, the kitchen knife had already been chopped on their hands.

Rodney subconsciously retracted his hand when the kitchen knife fell, but he felt like he was wrestling with a bull and couldn't pull back at all.

"Ah!" Tiffany screamed.

"Just kidding," Croun bared his teeth, "This layer of armor can also handle those small-caliber firearms."

"Let me take a look." She stood up and carefully observed her husband's hand. It was intact as before, as if the attack just now was just an illusion.

"Crown, you'd better not make jokes like this in the future." Rodney wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"I want to prove the abilities I have now so that my sister can give me some confidence. I am sure to reduce the risk of the spiritual enlightenment ceremony, so that she will feel free to let you participate in the spiritual master training program. I am doing this for your own good."

In the end, Tiffany was convinced and allowed her husband to join the spirit master training program.

Crown asked: "When will your training plan start?"

"Three days later."

"Here, these potions are specially made by me to allow you to deal with the occurrence of mutations. Take them together with other potions. Take one of each two potions." Kroun took out all the talismans on his body and put the two potions together. Give one piece of Pure Heart Talisman Water and two pieces of Golden Light Talisman Water to Rodney.

To encourage ordinary people to advance to the evil spirit level of a spiritual master, one talisman water created with his current ability can handle it, so he specially gave two to double the insurance.

At this time, there was a growling sound in Kroon's stomach.

"Sister, I haven't eaten yet when I came."

. . . .

At the dining table, little Martin was nestled in his mother's arms, while Julia stood beside her father. The family of four gathered around to watch the feasting guest.

Kroun ate the last piece of toasted and browned butter bread, calmly took off the napkin around his neck, and wiped the oily corners of his mouth. He smiled slightly: "It feels so nostalgic."

His sister's cooking skills were good, but only good, but he ate very happily.

"You have such an appetite. Are you hungry these days because you haven't received your salary yet? I'll give you some money." Tiffany stood up and walked to the bedroom.

"It's normal for extraordinary people to eat more. I can't spend all my salary on food. My current residence is a property within the church. The rent is not high, and I can still save some money every month."

Crown quickly stood up and caught up with her: "Sister, I have something to talk to you about alone."

"Okay, sister and brother are going to whisper. Can we go to your room to play with the toys that uncle gave you?" Rodney said to the children.

"well."

There were only two siblings left in the living room.

Crown looked down slightly at the woman who was once much taller than him, and said with a smile: "Sister, I will teach you a way of thinking. You can try it if it works."

"Visualize? After visualizing, you can release scorching flames to burn evil monsters like the wizard in the novel?" Tiffany showed a curious and inquisitive look like a child.

"There is no such function. After success, you can release the spiritual armor to protect yourself like I did. However, that will happen a long time later. It was not so powerful at the beginning."

Crown asked his sister to close her eyes and sit cross-legged on the sofa, and taught her the visualization method of the golden light spell:
"I said, you follow the rhythm I said. First, you imagine that there is a bright silver-white full moon not far away in front of you, and the cool moonlight shines on you. Then, you imagine that the full moon is flying towards you, At the same time it becomes smaller and smaller, blending from the center of your eyebrows into your brain.”

The cycle of the Golden Light Spell was not difficult. Half an hour later, Tiffany had completely memorized the flow of the visualization method and had followed the flow to visualize the Great Week.

"Doesn't it feel good?"

"It's early. Visualize it at least a thousand times before the effect will appear. If you have time, keep doing it."

Kroun took out a stack of Pure Heart Talisman and Golden Light Talisman, told his sister how to use these things and said:
"When my brother-in-law becomes a spirit master, let him drink the talisman water every few days. It's getting late, and I have to leave. I'll come back to visit you when I'm on vacation. Remember, keep visualizing when you have time. If When you feel very hungry after meditating, that means you have started to meditate."

Kroun picked up a note from the small table at the door and wrote his address: "You can come to me if you have anything to do. If you want to get started with visualization, you must tell me. If I am away on a mission, write me Note message.”

Tiffany took the note: "Can I tell Rodney this method?"

"Wait until you get started with visualization. I'm not sure yet whether others can successfully visualize."

"Okay", Tiffany glanced at the note and put it in her pocket, walked to the children's room and knocked on the door: "Julia, Martin, uncle is leaving, shall we meet him again?"

The door was opened immediately, and five-year-old Julia rushed out. She held up her Garfield cat and said:
"Uncle, I also want that mecha toy that uncle gave to Martin. It's really cool."

Crown took Garfield, covered it with his hat, bent down and said:
"Next time my uncle comes to give you a mecha toy, I will take this fat cat back today."

The little girl thought for a while: "If you want to take the cat away, I won't have such a toy. You can keep the cat and come next time."

"Wow!"

Julia's eyes lit up with bright stars, and she hugged the Optimus Prime that was handed over to her with both hands and raised it above her head: "Martin, I also have a mecha man."

Rodney's heart seemed to be filled with huge waves. He also took the toy and played with it. He understood that this thing was made of solid steel, but it changed into another form in a short period of time.

He took a deep breath, touched a few talismans in his pocket, and felt more at ease.

Crown said goodbye to his sister and family, hired a carriage and returned to his residence.

This time, the journey took less than an hour, and the fare was only five silver coins.

. . . .

The next day, Croun received the refined iron ingots sent by Qiaxi and began to enjoy his last day of vacation.

Devouring the Essence of Iron, visualizing the Golden Light Mantra, and practicing the Rock Breathing Technique for several hours.

The day passed quickly, and at night, Nick asked someone to tell him that Torres was already a member of their team and would officially start work tomorrow.

Crown had finished his dinner and did not continue his proficiency in liver skills.

He leaned in front of the window and stared at the hazy night scene in a daze. For some reason, he suddenly felt empty and confused in his heart.

In his last life, his life was busy and decadent.

After graduating from college, he started working. He typed code at get off work and played games after work. It wasn't that he didn't want to find something more interesting, but that playing games was really the cheapest pastime.

Now, after traveling into this increasingly darker world, he has been practicing and improving day by day in order to survive, but his life has actually been drifting with the tide.

In my previous life, I was a nobody, and this mentality has not changed much in this life.

He really couldn't imagine the mentality of those sages who set up their minds for heaven and earth and their lives for the people.

In the distance, the Zeppelin airship suspended in the sky cast a searchlight, and he understood that there must be some supernatural case happening there.

Crown closed the window and thought about the meaning of his life.

The Golden Wall gave him a higher starting point, but life should not only be about liver skill proficiency.

Maybe he should learn from Geralt, walk more roads, see more scenery, and hunt stronger monsters
. . . .

The next day, the three of them came to the Security Bureau's Seventh Precinct at No. 12 White Street early.

Del took Torres out to go through the on-boarding procedures, while Crown seemed to be sitting on the sofa and taking a nap, but in fact he was practicing his armor-condensing ability.

The sudden feeling of confusion last night had disappeared without a trace this morning. He temporarily figured it out. If he wanted to be unrestrained, he must have enough power, so that he could make the choice he wanted.

Jason walked in and said with a smile before saying anything: "Did you not sleep well last night? Did you go to that kind of indulgent place?"

Crown put away the iron essence armor pieces that were wandering around his body and smiled back: "I haven't had time to see that kind of indulgent place."

"Haha, I'll take you there when I get the chance. My teacher once told me that people should feel nervous, but they also need to learn to relax. Only by being relaxed can you follow nature and understand more truths."

Crown sensed the time, and it was already a quarter past eight. He was a little confused: "Why hasn't the captain come yet? Is he attending some meeting?"

"Yes, I met him when I came here. During the working day, the captains have a regular meeting every morning. The director will distribute the backlog of supernatural cases from yesterday."

"I don't know what kind of mission I will receive this time."

"There will be no missions today. This is the only working day off every month."

Is there such a good thing?

Crown asked in surprise: "This is a good tradition. Is there any explanation for it?"

"Today is the night of the full moon. Extraordinary beings will sense the pollution and erosion of the spiritual plane at night. It is not appropriate to go on a mission today."

"that night"

"The night of the full moon is a night when supernatural cases are most common. Most high-level extraordinary beings will hide in various buildings to avoid erosion. We are entering the sanctuary. Those warlocks also have their own places to go. There will be only a few high-level extraordinary beings left outside. .By the way, are you going somewhere tonight?"

"No," Crown shook his head.

"Nowadays, there is a large influx of extraordinary people into the city, and there is a serious shortage of space in the church sanctuary. With the current intensity of pollution, we can slowly purify the erosion ourselves, but this is a waste of time and energy."

While the two were talking, Del and Torres pushed the door open and entered.

"This new player is called Torres Parker. He comes from the same place as us. He needs us to take more care of him in the early stage," Crown introduced.

"Yes, but I won't take care of it deliberately. The most important thing for extraordinary people is to rely on themselves." Jason answered without enthusiasm.

Kroun didn't take it seriously, the other person had this kind of character.

As Jason said, Crown had a fishy day.

After he consumed all the spirit-controlling power of the Fire Cube, he visualized the golden light spells of the two great celestial beings, and then went to the bureau's small training ground to gain proficiency in the Ganpanshi Breathing Technique.

When he was leaving get off work, Nick found him: "Now a large number of people are pouring into Rhine City, and there is not enough space in the sanctuary. We have to stay outside tonight."

"I understand, but you should be able to be assigned a position, right?"

Crown wondered how it was possible that the priest would not arrange a position given the relationship between the priest and Fanny Sith. What's more, the other party also mentioned "old man", which sounded like an expert.

Nick understood what his companion meant and smiled: "There is no need to bother people with such a small matter. Besides, staying outside on a full moon night is not that scary."

He patted his companion on the shoulder and lowered his voice and said, "I have something important to inform you. Archbishop Flanders wants to see you tomorrow."

"Your Excellency Cardinal Flanders?"

"Yes, there is only one Flanders in the Diocese of Rhine City. It should have been your performance in the last mission that caught his attention. Tomorrow, put on your armor, and let's go to the Holy Fire Cathedral in glory."

　. . The vampire's name is Vlad, and this bishop's name is Flanders. . . Don't get confused
