What is your power?
— I’m super rich!
As time passed, Anvis was more and more pampered.
Even though there were only a few decades left before the new era, the Olivendi clan was just too rich…
As one of the oldest four families apart from the royal family, Olivendi’s history could be traced back to the end of the Magic Empire thousands of years ago. He was once the right-hand man of Great Gloria.
Kalas Province, the hereditary territory, was located in the northwest of the empire, occupying one-eighth of the empire’s territory.
In the game’s background setting, it covered an area of 334,576,000 square kilometers and had a total population of tens of millions. The annual head tax alone could reach millions of gold coins, far exceeding most kingdoms.
Olivendi owned countless estates in both the open and the dark, and all kinds of rare resources and treasures were piled up like mountains.
A few years after he was born, he experienced a joy that he could not even imagine in his previous life.
Icy Abyss Ice Soul, Death Soul Secret Crystal, Moonlight Spring Water Essence, Life Essence, Holy Blood Potion…
There were all kinds of treasures that could permanently increase a character’s talent and attributes. Most of the treasures that Anvis had never even heard of in his previous life were used by his family as if they were eating and drinking, completely disregarding the cost-efficiency ratio, just to lay the most solid foundation for him.
For example, the Sacred Blood Potion was a sacred medicine for bloodline users. It could purify the bloodline to a large extent without any side effects. The only drawback was that its ingredients were extremely rare and difficult to obtain.
Due to some accidents, Anvis had taken this potion once in his previous life in the game.
That was when he had changed his class to the rare class [Dragon Warlock]. Due to the lack of purity of his [Dragon Bloodline Essence], the crucial class-changing item was not enough.
After his Class Advancement, his bloodline concentration was only at rank six, and the upper limit of his level dropped to 62.
He had no choice but to barter for a small bottle of sacred blood potion at the branch of the .
Its effect was well worth the price. After consuming it, the bloodline density of a rank 6 Magus rose to the eighth rank!
The upper limit of his level had been raised to 81. Not just the additional attributes of his constitution had been raised , even the power of all his attributes and bloodline spells had been greatly increased.
However, this was the Olivendi Family! For three months after his birth, he was soaked in it every week!
There were also specialists who made slight adjustments to the composition of the potion according to the specific details of Anvis’ bloodline, maximizing its effect!
When Anvis first saw the pool of golden liquid, he was dazzled by the golden light.
It was as if what he saw was not a potion but an entire pool of glistening gold coins!
Three months later, the potion completely lost its effect on him, and the concentration of his two legendary bloodlines reached rank ten.
In other words, his upper limit returned to level 96.
There was also a need to mention Anvis’ mother, one of the Four Great Clans, the three geniuses of the Alfred Family, an eighth-rank Radiant Paradise Bird Bloodline Warlock, Elena Luo Alfred.
The four major families of the Empire were all bloodline families. What the Olivendi family and the Alfred family inherited were the only two legendary bloodlines that could be tested.
The bloodline of the Frost Wind Crystal Bird and the Radiant Paradise Bird.
At the party for the coming-of-age ceremony, Karlos met Elena, who was a young girl. The two of them danced together and developed feelings for each other. Soon enough, they fell in love.
As a result, the two families who wanted to be closer to each other, took advantage of the situation to discuss the marriage. Under the arrangement of the elders, the two of them quickly got married. At that time, both Karlos and Elena had reached the fourth rank.
“This is a marriage based on pure love—”
The representatives of the two families explained the marriage to the nobles during the meeting after the wedding.
Hearing this explanation, the expressions of the other noble representatives twitched, and many of them looked at the royal representative with strange gazes.
At the level of the Four Great Clans, marriage was no longer a personal matter. Instead, it was a union of power and influence.
Everyone present knew that in a noble marriage, there might be territories, property, power alliances, and other factors, but there would be no love.
However, the representative of the royal family only nodded slightly and did not express any opinion, which disappointed the nobles who were waiting for a good show.
But no matter what, this was the first marriage between Legendary bloodline families. People knew from this that the union of two different Legendary bloodlines would produce some results.
A person with dual bloodlines!
Legends were one of a kind. According to the ancient records, every creature that stepped into the Legendary stage would undergo a transition in life and become a new species that transcended the original species.
Unlike ordinary bloodlines, Legendary bloodlines could not be erased by other bloodlines, even if they were of the same rank.
Starting from his eldest son, Raymond, the four descendants of Duke Karlos all had double legendary bloodlines.
However, Anvis was the only one with two primary bloodlines, while the other three siblings had a distinct primary and secondary bloodlines.
Anvis learned from his memories that due to the conflict between bloodlines, the consumption of magic would increase drastically when using the power of two bloodlines at the same time. It was considered a small flaw in the dual bloodlines.
In addition to the treasures, the family would provide a unit of supreme grade s every two days. They would use special devices to extract the origin magic power contained in them to continuously improve past Anvis’ aptitude and magic affinity.
The supreme grade had a purity of more than 90%. It was only produced in the center of large-scale mines or in rare special small mines.
The measurements were calculated using the standard weight set by the , [Passo]. A Passo weighed 0.998 kilograms, and every five Passo was a standard unit.
In some secret black markets, a standard unit of supreme grade had been sold for more than 100,000 gold coins but in most cases there would be no supply for it.
As it could be used as the core energy source for high-level magic rituals and Calamity Grade magic weapons,
The supreme grade was classified as a top strategic resource by the dynasty and they strictly regulated the market for it. Its status was almost equivalent to the raw materials needed for atomic weapons in his previous life.
What few people knew was that there was a fundamental difference between the newly mined supreme grade Magical Crystals and those below 90% purity.
The super contained a trace of origin magic!
Origin magic power had a very special nature. experts and Mages could absorb this magic power over a long period of time and increase their talents steadily without any side effects.
Including but not limited to strengthening the body, increasing magic affinity, and purifying spiritual power.
Moreover, the younger one was and the weaker one was, the greater the benefits of absorbing the Origin Energy.
This secret was only passed down between nobles and high rank experts. It was strictly restricted from being leaked.
Anvis knew nothing about this in his previous life as well. He only found out after absorbing the memory fragments.
All large-scale mines that produced supreme s were controlled by nobles and big organizations. Once the supreme s were mined, they would be sent back to the family’s secret treasury immediately.
Only when the supreme s origin energy was extracted by descendants of the family would they then be sold back into the market.
In fact, there were many secrets that could increase the talent of their descendants. This was a method used by the nobility to maintain their status.
Since the beginning, the gap between the upper echelons and the lower echelons had already widened.
