Chapter 752: Chapter 289: Gaze of the Eye (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

Exeter was keenly aware.

After he had advanced to the level of a Crystallization Wizard, advancing further had become extraordinarily difficult.

At this point, if he wanted to continue enhancing his strength, his only option was to try to please the great God of Hunting and pray for a divine grant.

And sacrificing ordinary people, unless in units of one hundred thousand, would not grant him enough favor to reach even higher levels.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

“What a coincidence, Freeman, Bergis has just returned as well,” Exeter said with a smile.

Bergis?

Hearing this name, Freeman’s expression froze.

The other party was, like him, an aide to Exeter, and the two had fiercely competed while Exeter operated behind the scenes.

When Exeter opened the door, Freeman saw the familiar figure of the other.

However, this time, the other was holding something that resembled a picture frame.

Because it was covered with a black cloth, Freeman could only roughly guess.

“Your Excellency the Great Priest, oh… Freeman is here too.” Apparently, Bergis had not expected Freeman to be present today; he grinned at Freeman and greeted him.

“It seems the mission went smoothly,” Exeter said, closing the door and focusing his gaze on the black cloth-wrapped frame Bergis was holding.

This piqued Freeman’s curiosity too, who immediately focused his attention on the item as well.

“Fortunately, it was a success!”

Bergis did not keep them in suspense and removed the black cloth right away.

Indeed, as Freeman had guessed, it was a painting.

When Bergis turned the painting to face them, Freeman’s pupils suddenly narrowed, his face showing shock!

Immediately, he blurted out:

“Your Excellency the Great Priest, is this the painting known in church history as ‘Gaze of the Eye’?”

“Indeed, Freeman, it seems you have recently spent time studying the ancient scriptures of the church,” Exeter said with a slight smile.

The scenery in the painting was simple.

A boy around seven or eight years old was holding a girl doll and standing in front of a glass-paneled door; the squares of glass on the door were covered with various children’s handprints like graffiti.

The handprints were all small, presumably belonging to children, with the palms facing different directions.

However, if one looked carefully inside the glass door, it seemed as if there were many small transparent figures inside.

The most chilling aspect of the painting was that the eyes of the girl doll were completely black, and so were the boy’s eyes. Both were slightly turned, staring in a certain direction.

Although their faces were turned away, anyone looking at the painting felt a terrifying sensation of being watched.

Meanwhile.

In Meist County City, in Earl Habbs Mansion.

“I didn’t expect that after integrating the breathing techniques, the enhancement to my physical condition would be so remarkable,” Rein’s eyes gleamed.

However, soon after, Rein thought of something else.

Now that the integration effect of the Fire Gekko Breathing Technique was so good, what about the Bloodline Breathing Technique?

First of all, could he practice it?

If he could, would the effect after integration be even better?

Thinking this, Rein became slightly excited, his sleepiness completely gone.

After a moment, Rein left the bedroom and walked towards Cleya’s room.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Who is it?” a voice tinged with caution answered.

“It’s me, Rein.”

Rein could clearly feel Cleya’s breath relax; footsteps came from inside, and soon the door opened.

Cleya appeared in a white silk nightgown, low-cut and hollowed out, revealing a large expanse of her fair and delicate skin, with a matching waistband tied around her waist.

Due to the tight and elastic waistband slightly tightening her slender waist, Cleya’s ample bosom and the full shapely buttocks below her waist were exceptionally pronounced.

Cleya had not expected Rein to visit her so late, as she had already changed into her nightgown and was resting.

It wasn’t until she opened the door and saw that Rein’s gaze lingered slightly somewhere.

Cleya then realized that her nightgown, which was not only hollowed out but also made of thin silk material, was almost semi-transparent and instantly, her fair cheeks blushed.

“Rein, you…” Cleya’s heart pounded fiercely.

Rein coming to find her at this time, could it be he wanted…

“Cough… Cleya, it’s like this, I wanted to ask, can only those with specific bloodlines practice the Bloodline Breathing Techniques?”

Hearing Rein’s question, Cleya looked at him with a strange expression as if to say, ‘You woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask this?’

“Of course.”

“Actually, it’s not only impossible for ordinary people to practice, but even progeny without sufficient bloodline concentration cannot fully develop the Bloodline Breathing Techniques,” Cleya explained.

Upon hearing Cleya’s answer, Rein nodded. He wasn’t surprised by this conclusion.

However, there was something unique about Rein; he had the system.

So… whether it would work or not, he still had to try.

Rein had just considered this issue; if he could also practice the Bloodline Breathing Technique, then the question arose.

From where could he obtain a copy of the Bloodline Breathing Technique?

The answer was obvious, the most likely place was the Habus family.

“Cleya, the Habus family’s Bloodline Breathing Technique… I wonder if you could let me have a look? Of course, if it’s top secret or inconvenient, then never mind.”
