Chapter 97 - 97 Soul Ring
97 Soul Ring
By the time Ning Shi arrived in the courtyard, Casey had already received instructions from the servant contract and opened the door for him.
Ning Shi walked into the room, sat on the chair, and first checked Casey’s character information.
[Character: Casey]
[Physique: 39 (40)]
[Spiritual Power: 39 (40)]
[Appearance: 7 (Royal Prestige)]
[Family Background: 9 (direct relation to the Brad Empire royal family)]
[Bloodline: Golden nine-eyed lion (LV 9/Potential 10 stars)]
[Profession: Bloodline warrior LV 44]

[Talents: King’s aura (blue), regeneration (purple), learning (gold), leader (purple)]
[Achievements: the 29th King of the Brad Empire. He has been in office for 17 years. He has done a good job in governance. He is an official member of the Mountain Cluster Palace. He has joined the Mountain Cluster Palace for 5 years.]
[King’s aura (blue): Appearance +2. When recruiting people, success rate increases by 30%. When commanding subordinates, loyalty increases by 30%.]
[Leader (purple): Lions are not afraid of one-on-one battles, but they prefer to live in groups. A Lion King is very good at leading a team. When commanding an army in battle, his own combat power will increase by 50%, and the combat power of his allies will increase by 30%.]
[Nine-eyed Technique LV 9: the core skill of the Golden nine-eyed lion’s bloodline. It can release nine pupillary techniques: golden light, burning, annihilation, inner demon, immobilization, energy absorption, soul control, holy light, and wish.]
[Lecherous Lion Sword Technique LV 9: This is a sword technique created by Casey when he observed the Golden Lion’s estrus and mating behavior.]
[Sword technique specialty 1: tease. When using the sword technique, there is a 50% chance of arousing the lust of the opponent.]
[Sword technique specialty 2: Impulsiveness. Attack speed increased by 200%, damage increased by 200%, and self-defense reduced by 50%.]
Ning Shi was originally very satisfied with Casey’s overall combat power, but after seeing the Lecherous Lion blade technique, he instantly broke his calm act.
He couldn’t help but laugh.
“Casey, you have the aura of a king. Little did I expect you to have such a hobby. You can actually create your own sword technique with such an artistic conception.”
Casey was more than a hundred years old and had been a King before, so his skin was thicker than the city walls.
Hearing Ning Shi’s words, he was not ashamed, but proud.
“Of course, I was also a genius when I was young. When ordinary people saw mating, they only had an instinctive desire to do it. However, I broke away from the vulgar taste and comprehended a profound sword technique from an instinctive behavior.”
As a servant, Casey would only listen to Ning Shi, but his personality would not change.
Therefore, he boasted without any hesitation.
With the data of Casey and Gu Bin, the two LV 9 Bloodline Warriors, Ning Shi had already determined the strength of an LV 9 bloodline.
Their overall physical fitness would not exceed 80 points, and their individual qualities would rarely exceed 40 points.
Then their super magical beast’s value should be at least 40 points?
At this point, the system gave him a prompt.
[40 points of physique or spirituality are set by the game system based on the starting points of super magical beasts, gods, and overlords. Anyone with a value above 40 is qualified to step into the super realm.]
[The value is not equal to the data, the evolutionary value is only for reference.]
Ning Shi then recalled that the upper limit of the Supreme Bloodline’s potential value was 100. From this, he deduced that the total value of a super magical beast or God would not exceed 100.
Thinking about how his physique had reached 48 after he transformed into the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, Ning Shi immediately felt a sense of security.
Although the numbers were only for reference, they also showed that he would have the ability to fight against super magical beasts and gods after transforming.
“Casey, how many people are there in the Mountain Cluster Palace right now, and what’s the organizational structure like?”
After Casey signed the servant contract, he could not hide anything from Ning Shi, so he answered directly.
“The Mountain Cluster Palace was established by Gru, the 9th King of the Brad Empire 600 years ago, and has been passed down since.”
“The organization had two main purposes. The first was to ensure the continuation of the bloodline of the Brad Empire and the royal family. The second was to ensure that the Brad Empire would maintain the independence of the humans and not become the vassal of the gods or the super magical beasts.”
“The organization was divided into five levels: Hall master, deputy hall masters, deacons, official members, and probationary members. Currently, there was one hall master, three deputy hall masters, 11 deacons, 237 official members, and 411 probationary members, making a total of 663 members.”
“The reserve members must have at least an LV 9 bloodline, while the official members must have an LV 9 bloodline close to perfection.”
Ning Shi nodded. He was not surprised at all that there were so many LV 9 Bloodline experts in the Mountain Cluster Palace. This was the accumulation of an Empire’s royal family for close to 300 years.
After helping Lena win the title of the Duke of Rose, Gu Bin was worried that Ning Shi would have improper thoughts about the Rose City territory and had warned him.
Gu Bin’s words implied that there were some LV 9 Bloodline experts hidden in the Alice family’s ancestral home.
If the situation in a Duke family was already like this, then those in the royal family’s heritage would definitely be hidden deeper.
“How much do you know about the origin treasure?”
Ning Shi asked again about the origin treasure. Casey was not impatient and answered seriously.
“I became an official member of the Mountain Cluster Palace five years ago, so I don’t know much. I was able to attend the meeting last time mainly because I was once the king.”
“According to deputy hall master Karl, the Mountain Cluster Palace could observe the state of the origin treasure from a distance, and should one get close, the origin treasure would slip away.”
“Because the origin treasure was almost destroyed by the Beast God Guevsh, they are very cautious with it.”
“After the Lionheart blade was destroyed by you, my Lord, Hall Master Joseba criticized Joerger. In order to atone for his crimes and make a contribution, he is currently closely monitoring the entire world in search of new origin weapons.”
Ning Shi asked Casey a few more questions. However, upon seeing that Casey really did not know much about the origin treasure, Ning Shi said to him.
“Take the teleportation array and return to the Mountain Cluster Palace overnight. As for your assassination mission, just say that I escaped because you were careless.”
“Don’t worry, the contract I signed with you will definitely not be seen through.”
“After you return to the Mountain Cluster Palace, just be yourself and don’t do anything abnormal. If you have any news, you can open the character panel and use the message function to leave a message for me.”
“As you wish, my Lord!”
Casey accepted the order. He took the teleportation array four times in a row and returned to the capital, the Golden Lion City.
Casey did not waste any time and walked all the way to the depths of the Mountain Cluster Palace.
He actually ran into Joerger along the way.
Joerger’s eyebrows were moving up and down.
Casey, who was familiar with his grandson, knew that in order to train his energy-conservation skills, Joerger had worked hard to keep his emotions hidden since he was young.
When he was extremely happy, his face would still be expressionless, but his eyebrows would involuntarily move up and down.
“What’s the matter, Joerger?”
When Joerger saw Casey, he stopped in his tracks and a small figure immediately bumped into him.
“Ah! It hurts!”
A thin and weak youth cried out in pain.
Only then did Casey notice that there was a young man following behind Joerger. His line of sight had been blocked by Joerger’s large muscular body.
Casey, as a former king, was naturally not a stupid person.
The appearance of the youth out of the blue, in addition to Joerger’s happy eyebrows and the direction he was walking towards…the Mountain Cluster Hall.
Casey asked tentatively.
“Joerger, you found an origin weapon? This young man is the new host of the origin weapon?”
Joerger looked at the guards around him and gave his grandfather Casey a look.
Casey understood and didn’t ask any more questions, only following him into the depths of the palace.
When he arrived at the Mountains Cluster Palace, he saw that Joseba and his brother Karl were already waiting for him.
After a respectful greeting, Joerger led the young man behind him to the front of Joseba and said,
“Ancestor, this young man is called Sean Carlos. He’s the owner of the newly evolved origin weapon.”
Joseba quietly listened to Joerger’s introduction. He wasn’t particularly excited about the news.
“He was the second son of Marquis Carlos. He was very talented since he was young and became an LV 3 Bloodline Warrior at the age of 14. He was also engaged to Bilodid, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Rosaceae.”
“His dazzling talent made him a thorn in the eyes of the Marquis’s eldest son.”
“In the end, they poisoned his bloodline potion and turned him into a piece of trash. The engagement was also retracted by Duke Georgina.”
Joseba didn’t say anything. Nothing new was happening under the sun.
In noble families, the drama of brothers killing each other for the sake of inheriting the title was played out every day.
“After the last meeting, I activated the shadow intelligence network that was set up all over the country. I paid close attention to various abnormal people and events. During my observation, I found out that after Sean became a useless person for a year, his talent had inexplicably recovered, and he was even more talented than before.”
“In the family competition, he defeated his elder brother with an LV 4 bloodline.”
Joerger grabbed Sean’s arm. On Sean’s finger, there was a simple black ring.
“He was able to do all of this because of this ring. It is also the new origin weapon. Sean has already named it the soul ring because the soul of a person from the future lives inside!”
Casey’s expression was filled with shock.
“A person from the future?”
Joseba showed an interested look.
If Ning Shi was here, he would definitely shout at Sean.
“As the saying goes, fortune changes sides frequently, it’s better not to bully those that aren’t as fortunate.”
“An elite fighter is terrifying!”
