Mysterious, but Naruto

Earl Hall, as a hereditary nobleman of the Kingdom of Rune and one of the most influential members of the Upper House, naturally knew what this world was like.

Or rather, he understood what the extraordinary was and had witnessed what the extraordinary time and space were like, more than most people.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Earl Hall himself, and his eldest son who would succeed him as king in case of any unforeseen circumstances, would not come into contact with potions.

For no other reason than to ensure the continuation of the family line, since the destructive power of a mad count far exceeds the benefits that a superhuman can bring to their family.

Of course, someone like Earl Hall knew that it wouldn't be enough without the power to protect his family's wealth, so he aligned himself with the royal family on one hand and showed goodwill to the church on the other.

He intended to use these two forces to shield himself from enemies from the extraordinary realm.

After that, he even allowed his second son to join the army, preparing to obtain extraordinary power through military channels.

Even recently, when Audrey withdrew potion ingredients from the family treasury, Earl Hall already knew about it.

That was, after all, the family's treasure trove. No matter how much they doted on Audrey and allowed her to take whatever she wanted from it, the family still had to keep track of it regularly.

It was around that time that Earl Hall learned what his daughter was doing, but he did not stop her.

On the one hand, by the time they found out, Audrey had already taken the potion ingredients.

Secondly, since Audrey was not his chosen first successor, the appearance of another extraordinary person hiding behind the scenes to protect the family would only be a good thing for the family.

Therefore, when he learned from Audrey that she had become an extraordinary being, Earl Hall was not surprised, but only slightly saddened, feeling that his daughter had embarked on a path of no return.

It should be noted that all the previous Earls of East Chester had gone to great lengths to recruit or train extraordinary individuals in order to protect their family, but in the end, they either died violent deaths or went out of control, and none of them had a good ending.

It was precisely because they had witnessed the fate of those people that these heirs chose to give up this readily available power.

Even though Earl Hall had prepared in advance, he couldn't hold back when he heard Susie's hesitant opening remarks.

He never imagined that anyone would feed potions to their pets.

After all, most pet dogs these days are hunting dogs. Even if they live a life of luxury in the hands of nobles, their lifespan is only about 10 years, or at most 15 years.

Excluding the time it takes for a hunting dog to grow up and age, the time it can actually run strong is only about six or seven years.

During this period, for an extraordinary individual, being able to advance to Sequence 8 would be quite impressive, but this power was not taken seriously by a powerful earl.

Furthermore, before witnessing it firsthand, Earl Hall had never imagined that potions could awaken the intelligence of pets; he had thought that after consuming potions, they would merely become stronger beasts.

For Earl Hall, it was nothing more than a mouse turning into a lion. Although the change was indeed significant, it was still just that.

But now, Earl Hall has indeed seen another side to it, one that he could not have imagined and that no one else could have imagined either.

So, in the future, could he raise a large number of small animals? The sequence doesn't need to be high; a sequence of 9 is enough to enable them to develop intelligence. They don't even necessarily need to be able to speak; they just need to be able to think.

These intelligent little animals will surely be able to bring him a lot of information he wants, and if used well, they can even sow discord between his political enemies.

For example, their senior executives enjoy participating in activities such as polo, hunting, and golf.

People often talk about things during these activities, and if you observe carefully, you'll find that there's no one else around them.

Whether it's polo, hunting, or golf, it all takes place in a fairly large area.

While they were talking, the surroundings were basically endless, and no one could hide nearby.

Therefore, if the content of the conversation between the speakers is leaked, the root cause can only be the few people who originally gathered together.

Since they knew they hadn't leaked anything, their first thought was naturally that the other party had betrayed them.

The thought of being betrayed in such a private setting was terrifying to Earl Hall, and he was determined to carry it out.

Just when Count Hall thought Audrey would no longer bring him any surprises, he heard a shocking secret from her that almost scared him to death.

"Yes, Father, that Mr. Rokudo is a god who walks on the earth."

He not only mercifully bestowed upon me an extraordinary power unlike any potion, but also rendered potions harmless! I can also directly read the diaries left behind by Emperor Roselle.

"Another extraordinary power of this potion is its ability to render potions harmless!"

Earl Hall felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Fearing her father wouldn't believe her, Audrey revealed the bracelet on her wrist and transformed it into a sword and then into a shield in front of him.

"Father, look, this bracelet was given to me by the Six Paths Master for protection. As long as I infuse it with chakra, I can change its shape at will."

"Chakra?"

"Yes, this is another extraordinary power that Mr. Rokudo bestowed upon me. To obtain it, one does not need to take a magic potion, but rather it originates from within ourselves."

This power originates from the combination of our inherent physical and mental strength, and it needs to be cultivated through our own efforts.

Of course, Mr. Rokudo also has a fruit called the "Chakra Fruit," which can also increase chakra out of thin air.

Upon hearing this, Earl Hall suddenly had a thought, recalling that his servants had mentioned that Audrey's appetite had increased recently, and she was eating more than before.

"You've been eating more lately because you need to replenish your body's energy?"

Upon hearing Earl Hall mention this, Audrey blushed and nodded shyly.

"Oh dear, thankfully Dad doesn't know. To avoid anyone noticing anything unusual, I didn't actually eat much at home. I mainly ate the extra food I bought when I went out."

Although Earl Hall didn't have mind-reading abilities, he knew his daughter too well, and he had an idea as soon as he saw her.

"Haha, you don't mean you're not getting enough to eat at home, so you're buying extra food outside, do you?"

Despite Audrey's silence, Earl Hall knew he had guessed correctly from her somewhat awkward movements.

This, in turn, dispelled some of Earl Hall's doubts.

In his view, everything has a price, and simply increasing one's appetite is actually the smallest price. If there really is no price at all, it would make him suspect that it is a trap.

The father and daughter chatted for a while longer, mostly Audrey talking about the wonders of chakra.

What can traverse space and project one's consciousness to a distant place? What can directly control the movement of large amounts of gold dust? What can conjure flames out of thin air to melt gold dust into coins? What can directly transform into someone else's appearance, even changing one's outer clothing?

Especially when he heard Audrey say that Louis could also grant others a bloodline limit, a power that is directly integrated into the bloodline and directly inherited by future generations, Count Hall could no longer suppress his astonishment.

Previously, when Audrey said that the Six Paths were gods walking among humans, Earl Hall simply thought that his daughter's knowledge was insufficient. However, after hearing what followed, his heart began to waver.

"Are you sure that being can do these things?"

Audrey understood her father's excitement. When she first found out, she was even more excited than him, jumping up and down in the study within the Divine Tree Space.

As a result, she was so excited that the illusion created by the projectile jumped at the same time as her real body, and her head hit the shelf directly.

Well... the frame was completely smashed apart, but apart from a slight bruise on her skin, she herself had no other external injuries.

"Yes, Father. Mr. Rokudo created a faction and, after inviting me to join, gave me a benefit: I could then travel to his divine kingdom via spiritual projection to learn the most basic techniques of clone technique, teleportation technique, and transformation technique."

In addition to these three techniques, because my chakra attributes are fire, lightning, and yin, the Rokudo Master allowed me to choose one technique from each of the three attributes to learn.

The techniques I can learn, as well as the bloodline limits mentioned above, can all be exchanged for using contribution points within the organization founded by Rokudo-sensei.

Not only that, but it also includes the purification of magic potions, and the Chakra Fruit...

The father and daughter chatted for a while longer, with Audrey answering whatever Count Hall asked, until he asked about Louis, at which point Audrey shook her head and refused.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I can't tell you about Mr. Rokudo unless you've already joined the forces established by Mr. Rokudo. That's all I can tell you."

But Count Hall smiled with satisfaction at Audrey's rejection.

"Haha, not bad, Audrey, you did a great job. Remember what you just said."

When you choose to accept what the other person gives you, you are already on the same side as them.

Since you've already chosen a side, you must maintain absolute loyalty to such beings.

This is the reason why we hereditary nobles have been able to survive to this day.

Audrey, slightly embarrassed by her father's praise, immediately changed the subject.

"Father, do you want to become extraordinary beings? Even if you don't join a faction, I can spend money to buy you purified extraordinary crystals."

I heard from Mr. Rokudo that he could guarantee 100% safety.

"No, Audrey, do you remember what I said? Since we've already chosen sides, we should be 100% loyal."

Since that being exists within itself, it must be the path of the Cha…

"Chakra".

"Yes, since that being walked the path of chakra, then as His followers, we should naturally follow in His footsteps. How could we choose to take any other path?"

Unless that person specifically requests it, such a thing is something their followers should never even consider.

Audrey's eyes lit up when she thought about how her whole family would be cultivating with her in the future, which would mean she wouldn't have to sneak out to buy food anymore.

"So, you're going to train your chakra with me?"

Count Hall rose from his chair, his whole demeanor unusually serious.

"This matter... isn't urgent for now. Let me think about it, think about it..."

Just when Audrey thought her father would wait until the next day to answer her, Count Hall turned back after taking only two steps.

"This opportunity...we, the Hall family, cannot let it slip away!"

The gods will not favor you a second time!

Your mother, your eldest brother, and I all trained with you in this Chuck. As for your second brother, he went to the South Continent to join the army in order to become an Extraordinary. He also wrote to me before, saying that he had become an Extraordinary.

As for him, let him continue on the path of potions to advance. We can exchange purified extraordinary crystals for him from the organization, can't we...?

After confirming her father's intention to have the entire family join the Akatsuki organization, Audrey immediately sent the message to Louis.

Louis had just finished casting an illusion on all the rabbits when he saw how quickly Audrey had acted, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Putting everything else aside, that fool's vision was indeed excellent. Having such a top-tier noble vassal would certainly save the organization a lot of effort in its future development."

But unfortunately, I've benefited from it all.

With that thought, Louis casually opened a spatial rift and appeared in front of Audrey and Earl Hall.

As soon as his daughter used the ring to send a message to the earthly deity, the space in front of him was torn apart the next moment. Even though Earl Hall was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Come in."

On the other side of the spatial rift was the conference room inside the Divine Tree space, where Audrey would always go online when using the Illusionary Body Technique.

"Rokudo-sensei! Huh, can we just come in here?"

Although Louis was mainly looking at Count Hall, he was also observing Audrey's behavior and naturally understood what she was saying.

"Of course, I really exist here. The reason I asked you to use the Illusionary Body Technique is because you don't know any space-time ninjutsu and can't get here on your own."

"If you learn space-time ninjutsu in the future, I can grant you access to this place."

After speaking, Louis turned his gaze to Count Hall, who was standing to the side.

"You are Audrey's father, the current Earl of Hall?"

"Yes, Mr. Rokudo, I am Leander Hall, it is an honor to meet you."

Louis waved his hand as he watched Count Hall bow to him.

"Alright, we've met today, so there's no need for such formalities in the future. I don't care about such things."

I think Audrey must have already made it clear to you that from now on you will be under Audrey's command, and I will hold her responsible for anything that happens.

Of course, since you have chosen to join, you are also members of the Akatsuki organization and can enjoy the corresponding benefits.

You can check this out later in the library; I've posted it on the wall.
