Chapter 505: Continent Boiling Over (5K)_3
"More complex still, the old planks that were replaced were not discarded but collected to build a new ship."
"Now, with two ships before us, which one is the real one?"
Motör fell into deep thought, pondering whether his identity was determined by the essence of his soul or by his decades of experiences, relationships, and memories.
He thought for a long time and still had no final idea. If according to the category of Mysticism, he was definitely still "Lucius Fischer" because the essence of his soul had not changed.
But if based on everything acquired later, the situation was completely different.
"I, I will go back and think about this myself, thank you."
Motör nodded, knowing he couldn't understand right away whether he was still the original Lucius.
But he felt much more relaxed and ready to move forward.
"Hold on, Motör... I am asking you to do something for me as compensation for clarifying this doubt."
Hecate stared at Motör and said, "You must follow the rules here."
Motör shook all over, a sense of foreboding deep in his heart.
She chuckled, squinting her eyes, and said:
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, I also follow His game rules, so I won't do anything to the people of the Fischer family... What I need you to do is just a test."

In a matter of months, more and more people in the Eastern Four Kingdoms came to know—the Fischer family possessed the power to turn ordinary people into Extraordinaries!
The strange existence of "Lord of the Lost" and the "Power of Consecution" became the focus of hot discussions in cities and villages, with more and more people whispering about this astounding news!
"Do you think that could possibly be true?"
In a tavern in Vallere, under the dim yet warm light, people sat around a wooden long table, their faces showing various expressions, the air filled with a rich scent of alcohol and an excited atmosphere.
After drinking a lot, a man with a look of disbelief exaggeratedly said:
"Have you heard? The Fischer family serves a Divine, and they received Extraordinary power from that Divine... and it's a power completely different from the power of Bloodline."
"It's said that anyone can get it."
In a corner of the tavern, a few plainly dressed farmers sat together, barely touching the mugs in their hands, their eyes twinkling with curiosity and surprise. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
One of them spoke up, "Did you hear? The Fischer family says the Divine can grant us power! It's like something out of a fairy tale."
As he finished speaking, an old man nearby nodded, a glint of contemplation in his eyes: "Yes, I also heard similar legends when I was young, but those who believed in such things often didn't end well."
A few young soldiers excitedly discussed the topic, their faces still showing their youthful naivety and dreams for the future.
"This is literally an opportunity given by the Divine! A new era has come!"
A young soldier waved his sword, his eyes glittering, and said, "If we can get this power, we can better protect this city and become true heroes like Chris Fischer!"
"We're planning to leave for Nasir City tomorrow to join the Cyart army!"
The words of the young soldier resonated with his companions, who all nodded, their eyes sparkling with the same anticipation and passion.
In their view, this power was not just a gift from the Divine, it was also an opportunity to realize their dreams.
Of course, some citizens of Vallere looked unhappy, for the Cyart people had taken over Vallere, and these young people, who had not lived through the era of decades ago, actually wanted to join the Cyart army...
However, these people did not dare to openly get angry, as no one knew whether terrifying entities like the "Eye of the Raven" or the "Black Tide" were present.
Those ghostly things were everywhere!
The din of conversations in the tavern rose and fell, some people still doubted the truthfulness of the power spoken of by the Fischer family, while others considered how to harness this power for greater value.
A few Lorne Spies exchanged glances, their expressions also becoming complicated.
"It seems to be true but, still, it would be better to check it out in Nasir City."
"Yes, let's go."
The Lorne Spies said their piece, paid their bill, and quietly left the tavern, completely unaware of the dark shadow wearing a raven mask in the corner.

Over the months, all the major and minor powers on the Ouden Continent gradually came to know about Nasir, each plunging into disbelief and terror.
They found out that recently, the Fischer family in Nasir City had turned a hundred ordinary people into... Extraordinaries in public!
The Fischer family!
They really could grant Extraordinary power to mortals on a large scale!
How was that possible!
That was clearly a power not even the Divines possessed!
As a result, many forces immediately disbelieved the news while also starting to block the information, terrified of the whole world learning about it.
However, the news was unstoppable, and many people close to the eastern regions soon learned about the "Power of Consecution" and the "Lord of the Lost."
It was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up the entire continent, people's emotions and topics boiled incessantly!
Then, including those who didn't believe, those who hoped to find the true situation, and those who wanted to gain the Power of Consecution, gradually more and more people, harboring various thoughts, couldn't help but head toward Cyart.
They were going to Nasir City to investigate the real situation.
