Chapter 260 Holy White Deer
Chapter 260 Holy White Deer
Chapter 260 Holy White Deer
The Snowy Hart Family possesses a unique system of its own.
Their system is based on the inheritance of bloodlines, and even if outsiders understand the principles, they cannot surreptitiously learn it.
Hence, for children born into the Snowy Hart family, the amount of family bloodline inherited becomes the fundamental criterion for determining their future family status.
In the Wester Kingdom, it is well-known that the family characteristic of the Snowy Hart Family is white hair and emerald eyes.
From the successive Snowy Hart Lords to all the strong people within the family, everyone shares this characteristic.
Therefore, whether one possesses white hair and emerald eyes is the most basic element to gauge how much of the family bloodline a newborn of the Snowy Hart Family has inherited.
For infants who possess neither white hair nor emerald eyes, they would be abandoned before they come of age.
The best fate these children could expect is perhaps to grow up as a minor servant within the Snowy Hart Family.
As for children with only white hair or emerald eyes, they would undergo a test when they grow to five or six years old.
If they exhibit the talent to communicate with doe spirits, they can continue to receive cultivation as a child of the Snowy Hart Family. However, if they lack this talent, their fate would still be bleak.
Vanessa has no white hair, but she has a pair of beautiful emerald eyes.
Coupled with the fact that she exhibited the talent to control three doe spirits simultaneously at the age of five, this allowed her to live to this day as the second young miss of the Snowy Hart Family.
However, because Vanessa did not inherit the family's white hair, her potential has always been lower than those 'children of destiny'.
Therefore, in the end, she was still sent to the Azure Lizard Family as an "Exchange Child", which has always been a pain in Vanessa's life.
Returning to the topic, the Snowy Hart Family's bloodline determines their talent, and this talent specifically refers to the potential related to the combat profession of "Doe Servant".
Playing a melody to control the doe spirits and fight alongside them is a unique combat system of the Snowy Hart Family. The combat professions such as "Doe Servant", "White Doe Servant", and "Holy White Doe Servant" can only be understood and mastered by members of the Snowy Hart Family.
In the power system of the Snowy Hart Family, the "Holy White Deer" is a very special part, specifically referring to allowing the power of the Benevolent Deity to temporarily dwell in the body of the doe spirit, thereby achieving the "Summoning of the Deity".
When the "Holy White Deer" is successfully "summoned", the space where the Holy White Deer is located can be temporarily regarded as the space where the Benevolent Deity descends, making various sacred prayers effective to a certain extent.
Such a powerful ability, which can even allow the clergy to continue to use their power after leaving the church, is also known as the "Mobile Church".
However, the use of the "Holy White Deer" ability also has a huge cost.
Not to mention that the ability itself consumes a large amount of magic energy, the cooling time alone is as long as 30 days.
These restrictions make this ability unsuitable for regular use and can only be used as a rescue measure.
Even so, the value of the "Holy White Deer" is beyond doubt.
Imagine in the depths of an underground labyrinth, when the whole team is on the verge of death, the ability of the "Holy White Deer" coupled with the prayer healing of the clergy, it is a miracle that can give all team members a second life.
The Snowy Hart Family's status as one of the Five Great Families owes much to the ability of the "Holy White Deer".
.
— "Doe Spirit Concerto: Ninth Movement - Light of the Buddha."
Vanessa's demeanor shifted as she started to perform the melody.
The young lady's even breaths transformed into a melody that poured out like a tide as they passed through the silver flute.
Within the room, the flute's sound was as refreshing as a cool breeze, as nurturing as jade dew, purifying the soul.
Within this lively melody, it was as if a white spirit resided, dancing to the tune. Her dance was graceful and noble, harmonizing with the sound of the flute, as serene as the moon on a tranquil lake.
Felix and Heloise were both astounded as they listened, and at that moment, three young deer started to radiate a white light, affectionately huddling together.
As Vanessa's melody continued, the light on the deer grew brighter until the three of them fused into one entity.
A full-grown stag, composed nearly entirely of white light, stood up. This sacred figure was instantly recognizable as the legendary "Holy White Deer."
Heloise was taken aback, moved by the appearance of the pure "Holy White Deer", while Felix, alongside his surprise, harbored a hint of hesitation towards this luminous deer figure.
At this moment, Vanessa's music was reaching its climax.
The crisp flute sound was ethereal, like celestial music that directly touched the deepest parts of one's heart.
Those suppressed, dusty, sad, lonely, and sorrowful emotions began to sprout at the bottom of everyone's hearts and were then cleansed and purified.
The Holy White Deer stepped in sync with the melody, walking over to Heloise, and then gently rested its head on her back.
The deer's figure shivered slightly, and then two bright globules fell from its eyes, merging into Heloise's back.
— (Tears of the Holy White Deer...?)
Vanessa was surprised when she saw this. She hadn't expected this white-haired girl to be so loved by the Holy White Deer.
In Vanessa's expectation, merely successfully summoning the "Holy White Deer" would have been considered completing her task, because being around the Holy White Deer would provide a good purification effect.
However, the tears just now had gone beyond purification — they were sacred tears that could instantly heal fractures and internal injuries!
Vanessa had never been able to successfully make the Holy White Deer shed the "Sacred Tears" in countless previous practices. But tonight, without her giving any commands, the Holy White Deer had actively healed Heloise.
— (Is this... the will of the Holy White Deer...?)
Recalling their initial encounter with this white-haired girl on the road, the doe spirits also showed her a friendly attitude.
Looking at the girl's white hair, Vanessa couldn't help speculating about her identity again, only to quickly give up.
— (Never mind, even if she "is"... it has nothing to do with me.)
— (It's all the sins committed by those ugly adults.)
.
The ethereal and pleasing movement soon came to an end.
As the music gradually faded, the radiance of the "Holy White Deer" also dimmed, finally transforming back into the initial three little deer.
Heloise felt incredulous as she touched her own back. It seemed as if nothing had happened, but she felt as if her body had become much lighter.
Felix came forward to check for her and then gave a positive reply.
The "Parasitic Blood Serpent" had completely disappeared, and Heloise had regained her freedom.
Upon learning of the result, a delighted Heloise started hopping around the room.
While hopping, she came to Vanessa's side and hugged her arm.
"Kind sister, it's already so late, why don't you stay and sleep with us?"
