Chapter 7: Blood
Chapter 7: Blood
The short words Jane spoke made David's mouth op slightly, looking at the window in surprise as he instantly felt that the world he saw was not the world he knew.
Such words should not appear in the mortal world, they only appear in the fantasy world in stories.
Jane said it with a serious expression, David was one hundred perct sure that she wasn't lying at all.
"So mysterious powers really exist?" asked David.
"Why do you think our family is so powerful? Is it because we are rich? We don't have any power in the governmt or the military, so why do officials and military gerals bow to us? Most people think that they bow to our wealth, but there is no such concept in this world. They are powerful people, they do not submit to wealth, they only submit to a greater power.
Without power, one small military base is ough to seize all our wealth." Jane gtly explained.
After that, she added, "do you feel it?"
As she said that, her hand held David's hand tightly.
Instantly, David felt as if he had be transported to the depths of a vast ocean. He was sured by boundless water, pressing against every side of his body.
It was brief, but the ssation felt very vivid.
His gaze at Jane turned to amazemt.
This woman gave the impression of being weak. A cat might be able to take her down, but right now David realized that she was hiding a terrifying strgth, something he didn't know.
"Can you explain that mysterious power system? Are there levels?" David couldn't stop asking out of curiosity.
"There are basically two levels, Spiritual Beings and Deities. There are no Deities now, only Spiritual Beings that compass many things," Jane replied.
"However, it is difficult to distinguish the strgth among Spiritual Beings. Some are only slightly stronger than ordinary humans, but there are those who can easily massacre a military base. It all depds on the amount of spiritual ergy and the type of skill possessed. Some people have very frighting skills. Of course, training is instrumtal to the increase in a Spiritual Being's strgth.
Older Spiritual Beings are sometimes very dangerous."
"Th to gain that power, you need the blood and blessings of the Deities?" David began to understand.
He looked at the small bottle in Jane's hand and th looked at Jane's face again.
"Yes, to get the power from the blood, we just need to consume it. As for blessings, it requires special prayers, which th allows us to draw on the power of the Deities left in this world. All in all, relying on blood is a better method because the power you gain will certainly become your personal power. The problem is that it's not easy to find the blood of the Deities.
Ev if you find it, you can't directly consume it. Consuming it without the purification process will make you die directly. The process of refining the blood of the Deities was naturally very complicated and became ev more complicated wh it was the blood of extremely powerful Deities. It requires a lot of resources from other fields."
After saying that, Jane finally placed the bottle in her hand into David's hand.
"There are many Deities, most of them are unknown, the best ones are of course the famous Deities. The blood in that bottle is the blood of Zeus. Without a doubt, Zeus is the most powerful Deity in the western world."
"Zeus?"
Wh he heard that, David was instantly convinced that the bottle in his hand was one of the most valuable things in this world.
If Jane gave him the blood of an ordinary deity, he would already feel that it was ough to consider Jane as half of his soul.
However, blood from Zeus, David couldn't think of what she was thinking.
And he was worried that Jane was doing something she shouldn't in order to get that blood.
David's eyes became doubtful as he looked into Jane's violet eyes.
"You won't be in trouble, right, after giving me this blood?" David asked her.
"Not for a while until people from my family find out that this blood is gone," Jane replied, smiling faintly as if she was not afraid of trouble.
David's eyes wided as his guess was correct. Jane really stole the blood.
"I'm sure you'll be strong ough wh they find out. At that time, we can deal with the problems to come," she added.
If a woman is not afraid, how could David be. He suppressed his worries and showed strong determination through his eyes.
However, there was one more thing he wanted to ask.
"Do you really trust me this far? You know, we just met today."
"I have confidce that three years of our relationship is ough for me to trust you. How many times do we communicate in one day, and how many times have we communicated in these three years? I'm sure no one has communicated with me more than you, not ev close. And vice versa. Sometimes ev wh I visit a party, I only talk briefly with a few people.
After that, I discuss various unimportant things with you through message after message. If you're not the one I can trust, th the whole world won't be."
Jane's voice was soft so it was very comfortable to list to and everything she said made David's heart tremble.
No wonder he was so comfortable with Jane all this time. This woman did have infinite sincerity.
David put his hand on her face, ev wanted to hug her but had to restrain himself because there were people looking at them.
"Wh we're done here, let's go to your apartmt. I'll help you make the results of consuming the blood better," Jane added.
David nodded to her, not objecting to it being done in his apartmt. After all, it would be a long time before Audrey returned.
It was just that he couldn't help but think of something strange wh thinking about bringing Jane to his apartmt.
Maybe Jane was also thinking weird since it was also her first time to be alone with a man in one house.
This practically gave them a chance to do something.
