Chapter 1719 - 137: Authenticity

Fisher silently followed the two maids ahead as they walked through the corridor of the palace annex. At this moment, Alicia was feeling uneasy, her eyes half-closed. Her small face was flushed red, seemingly caught between a semi-conscious and dreamlike state.

The carriage ride here took five or six hours, and children are often unable to withstand such journeys, quickly feeling bored and resorting to sleep to pass the time.

Alicia, although more mature than her peers, couldn’t resist the drowsiness and fell asleep, leaving Emhardt extremely worried, fearing that she might transform into a monster right there in the carriage.

However, even though she did not show any signs of metamorphosis, she hasn’t woken up yet and looks very uncomfortable, prompting Fisher to come over for a look, while also taking the opportunity to see if he could directly resolve the nature of the treasure within her.

"Little girl, wake up, we’ve arrived..."

"Mmm..."

"She’s still asleep, let her rest a bit, and we’ll call her later."

The two maids quickly and responsibly brought Alicia into a prepared room, thoughtfully placing her on the bed and covering her with a blanket. Seeing that she was unresponsive no matter how they called her, they turned away to wait in the next room.

Once the two maids slowly left the room, Emhardt, who had been playing dead, finally floated up, sighed, and muttered,

"Finally able to move, I was almost completely overwhelmed by the lingering impish scent. Fisher, you really go overboard, living so liberally by Elizabeth’s side while I worry constantly beside her—it’s unfair!"

"Isn’t my visit here meant to solve this issue?"

"Solve? Wait, can you use your powers now?"

Just as Emhardt wanted to quip something, he sensed something transparent starting to writhe on Fisher’s body, accompanied by a surging of the previously sealed rank, gradually reverting to its original state.

He quickly realized that amidst this unfamiliar state, the hidden blessing was becoming increasingly unstable, evident from the constantly squirming and trembling transparent tentacles on Fisher.

This forced Fisher to restrain himself somewhat to stabilize the tentacles.

"Yes, your tough days are almost over, thank me."

"Thank your mom; it’s because of you I suffered, and now that I don’t suffer anymore, you expect gratefulness?"

Emhardt let out a hum while standing on the still drowsy Little Alicia. Despite the disdain in his words towards this imp, there’s still hope for Fisher to quickly resolve the troubles plaguing her,

"Enough chatter, hurry up, or this brat might die in her dream."

"Yes, don’t rush."

Fisher squatted by her bedside, gently placing a hand on Alicia’s feverish forehead. As he sensed the presence of that "treasure," the life chaos hidden in him began to stir erratically,

"Big... big brother..."

"Alicia, don’t be afraid. I’ll help you."

"Mm... thank... ha..."

She seemed to want to say something, but soon got breathless with discomfort, her body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

Fisher’s eyes narrowed slightly, but before coming, he had already figured out a solution for this issue in his mind.

He squatted by the bed, reaching out towards Alicia, as the tentacles coiling around his arm started transforming from transparent to golden, the gold in his eyes also started to become apparent.

Before arriving, he unlocked another Authority ability from Azan Ross, namely [Collection].

This Authority could replicate the abilities of other authorities and creations, albeit at the cost of research points from studying demi-human girls.

According to the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, akin to conducting dual research with Rafael and Moli previously, the approach couldn’t be repetitive.

Ha, this is tricky; not sure how to proceed. After pondering for a while, the only feasible option seems to be extracting the currently sealed Elliog, as Elliog is quite forthcoming, and then choosing another to pair...

Yes, it’s admittedly a bit indecent.

Fortunately, during the unlocking of this ability, the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual presented Fisher with a singular research point, meaning he could utilize this Authority to replicate one thing.

Although Fisher wasn’t clear on how to alter the treasure, records concerning this matter ought to be in the third part of the Life Completion Manual. Thus, the following steps became clear.

He planned to replicate the nature of the treasure onto himself, then unlock the third part of the Life Completion Manual, relying on this to alter Alicia’s nature to free her from chaotic entanglement.

Hence, Fisher gently placed the golden tentacle on Alicia’s forehead, softly chanting this divine name,

"Azan Ross, I beseech you."

"Gurgle..."

Enclosed by countless ephemeral, bubble-like suckers emitting dazzling golden light, a certain nature within Alicia’s body was swiftly grabbed by the tentacles and transmitted back into Fisher’s body.

At the moment when that nature was transmitted back, Fisher’s entire body trembled slightly, quickly realizing his own body was undergoing transformation.
