Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 252 Rigjema's true form is glasses; he's merely a glasses frame.
The core of power in the ancient Kingdom of Ys was controlled by the six priest families who served the twin goddesses.

The Priest of the Heart—Fact.

The Priest of Power—Toba.

The priestess of wisdom—Gema.

Hadar, the Earth God.

The Priest of Light – Darby.

Mesa, the priestess of time.

The six priest families each control a "Book of Ys" derived from the Black Pearl, each possessing different attributes. They practice the spells contained in the Book of Ys, and the power of the Book of Ys can be passed down through bloodlines.

Among them, the family heirloom of the Heart Priest Fact family is something called "Fact's Eye," which manifests as a floating magic orb that hovers around the caster and can move at will.

The Eye of Fact can multiply the number of spell missiles a caster can launch. Advanced users can even use it to perform multiple spells. The more Eyes of Fact that a caster controls, the higher the required magical talent and total amount of magic power.

In more game-like terms, the Eye of Fact is a wingman or floating cannon exclusively for mages. With it, a spellcaster's combat style can be completely transformed into a Thunder Fighter or 1943.

And this thing is one of the core purposes for Cheng Tian to come to the Ys Origin dungeon.

He wants to use the Eye of Fact to enhance his Crystal Eye!

Due to the limitations of bloodline inheritance, the Eye of Fact can only be used by descendants of the Fact family. The crystal eye floating on Cheng Tian's shoulder was obviously mistaken by the blue-haired newbie named "Ligema" from the same family of the Six Priests for the Eye of Fact.

Even though they differed significantly in appearance, this spherical magical artifact that could float beside them was essentially the symbol of the Fact family within the Kingdom of Ys.
The core members of the Factor family are only a few, but that doesn't mean the Factor family has no collateral branches. In fact, to become the core of power in the ancient Kingdom of Ys, the idea of ​​a single heir for nine generations is simply not feasible. Even the six priest families inevitably have a considerable number of collateral bloodlines, it's just that the game's world view hasn't expanded in that direction.

The threatening words that were almost spoken were swallowed back down by Cheng Tian.

"Um, cough, that's right, I am a member of the Fact family, just an ordinary branch who accidentally awakened a bloodline artifact... Judging from your magic fluctuations, you should be a member of the Gemma family, right?"

Cheng Tian, ​​his eyes darting around behind the mask, immediately began acting out Shinpachi's words!
He even casually lifted his mask, revealing a harmless human face.

As long as Cheng Tian doesn't smile, he's actually quite human-like.

With the dual authentication of a human face and the Eye of the Pseudo-Fact, coupled with Cheng Tian revealing his family name as a guide for his thinking, the naive newbie subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and even put down the staff he had raised.

Incidentally, Cheng Tian's magic attribute remains pure because the demonic factor injected into him by joining the Dark Clan was directly overwritten by the Onimusha template. Judging friend or foe solely by evil energy is not feasible for Cheng Tian.

"Yes, my name is Ligejiema."

The mage, whose mind was already completely bound to the image of Shinpachi, gave this answer.

"I am Orange, as for my family name..."

While Cheng Tian was still thinking about how to come up with the surname, Shinbaji immediately showed an understanding expression and stopped asking questions.

All six priest families have branch families, but the Fact family, which has produced many outstanding individuals, is the most unique.

While other families' branches typically split up normally and maintain some contact with each other, the Fact family's branches almost always went their separate ways. The branches that were separated were more like products of internal competition that resulted in their expulsion.

The fact that such a branch of the family could successfully awaken the ability to control bloodline artifacts would definitely cause quite a stir in peacetime.

Considering that the Fact family heir is also among the members of this Goddess Search Team, it is indeed not appropriate to inquire further.

Thanks to Shinbaji's imagination, Cheng Tian successfully avoided having to fabricate a family surname that would almost certainly give him away. As for Cheng Tian's mask and strange clothes, Shinbaji also attributed them to his identity. Cheng Tian disguised himself as a remnant blade left on the ground, wandering and fighting against monsters, while Shinbaji revealed his identity as a member of the Goddess Search Team.

Not only him, but many other members who had been scattered by the previous interference and transfer magic were also gathering together.

"Sorry, I destroyed your hiding place."

Because of the mask covering his face, Cheng Tian was clearly lying through his teeth.

"It's alright. I've rested enough anyway. I'll go out and figure out how to meet up with the others."

Shinbaji said somewhat shyly.

As a member of the Wisdom Priest lineage within the Six Priest families, his performance within the Black Tower was truly appalling.

However, when Cheng Tian said he wanted to continue exploring the Black Tower and searching for the goddess's whereabouts, Shinbaji was taken aback.

"The goddesses are actually here!? I had no idea..."

It turns out that although Shinpachi was a member of the Goddess Exploration Team, he only knew that three days ago, the two goddesses left without saying goodbye and came to the ground on their own. He did not know that they had chosen to enter the tower.

"No! I must report this to the High Priest!"

With an anxious look on his face, Shinpachi instinctively took a few steps, but then stopped immediately, turned around and took something out of his bag.

"Friend, do you need to upgrade your weapon? I happen to have a piece of Cleria ore that can help you upgrade your equipment."

Despite his eagerness, Shinpachi maintained a sincere expression.

As the lineage of the six priests who possess the Book of Wisdom, the Gema family is highly skilled in using an ancestral magic called "Sense," which essentially involves using Cleria ore as a material to directly interfere with and alter weapons and armor—in short, humanoid enhancement machines.

Now that he knew the whereabouts of the goddess from Cheng Tian, ​​and also "knew" that Cheng Tian did not want to expose his wish to the successor of Factus, Shinpachi, out of a sense of gratitude, decisively took out his treasured Cleria ore.

【Cleria Ore (0.5kg): Special item, magical material, forging material. A mithril-like ore produced after a silver vein is eroded by the magic of a black pearl. It is the foundation of all technology and magic in the ancient Kingdom of Ys and has an extremely high magic conductivity.】

When you are enhancing weapons, armor, or metal artifacts, you can try adding Cleria ore, which will significantly increase the success rate of enhancement. As the enhancement level increases, the success rate will gradually decrease, but you will still have at least a 10% enhancement success bonus.

Cleria ore can influence the enhancement tendency of the equipment being enhanced to a certain extent.

Once you have forging or crafting skills, you can also try using Clerian ore to craft your own equipment.

"Here's what we'll do. Give me the ore first, and you keep some magic power to ensure you can leave the tower safely. Then you can help me upgrade my equipment when we meet again later."

New Bucky, who was already prepared to unleash his ancestral magic, heard Cheng Tian's reply.

The young man, who couldn't keep anything to himself, already showed a touched expression on his face. He hadn't expected the other party to be so considerate.

"Okay! You need to be careful too!"

The new phone, which had been stuffing the ore directly into Cheng Tian's hand, turned and hurriedly left, filled with worry for the goddess and gratitude for Cheng Tian.

As Cheng Tian watched the human sensory signal of Shinpachi quickly disappear into the distance, he directly called over Bazett, handed her the glittering silver ore in his hand, and said...

"Take a look, see if this stuff can be used as a material for making the Reverse Light Sword."
