Chapter 17 Huge Changes
In the mirror stood an extremely handsome boy.
Her long, bright silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, exuding an air of mystery.
Like a face sculpted by an artist, it is perfect from any angle.
But what's most striking is the vertical pupil in those eyes... dangerous, yet captivating.
"This change..."
Viktor reached up and touched his face, still somewhat incredulous.
Although the face was indeed his, the minor imperfections that were originally there had disappeared... The wrinkles were smoothed out, the spots were gone, and the skin seemed to have a silvery sheen, looking very shiny and feeling exceptionally smooth to the touch.
The color of her hair also changed suddenly; it used to be black.
But what Viktor cared about more than any of that was the change in his eyes—how could they suddenly look like a human?
"So, this is all due to the influence of my new entry, 'Mercury Blood'?"
Viktor walked to the desk, sat down, and opened the panel:
Name: Victor Feltrow
Age: 17
[Bloodline: Human/Mercury Blood]
[Physical Fitness: 1.5]
【Spirit: 3.5】
[Skills: Morning Star Meditation {Proficient}, Hand of Myron {Proficient}, Blood Shield {Proficient}, Mana Blast {Proficient}]

[Activated entries: None]
[Entries already consumed: Breathing Healing Technique Lv1, Alchemy Genius Lv1, Rune Master Lv1, Mercury Blood Lv1]
......
"My physical attributes increased by 0.5 compared to last night, my mental attributes increased by 0.7 compared to last night, and all my skill proficiency has been upgraded to proficiency... Meditation has also reached the proficiency level."
Viktor's gaze fell on the bloodline section of the attribute panel, his confusion deepening:
"So, has this meant I've awakened some kind of special bloodline?"
"Or is it... that this is an invisible bloodline within the Feltrol family?"
He had a headache; even after careful recollection, he couldn't find a single clue in his memory.
This means that either his king father didn't know, or he didn't tell him.
"Vivian..."
Taking a deep breath, Viktor softly uttered his sister's name.
He felt that his previous thoughts might have been a bit too simplistic... His family's treasure might actually be more valuable than he had imagined!
Keeping these thoughts to himself and being impatient for quick results will not do him any good; it will only disrupt his current rhythm.
So Viktor turned his attention back to the changes in himself. The panel only showed a general picture; to figure out exactly what this "Mercury Blood" had brought him, he would have to find out for himself.
After thinking for a moment, the first thing Victor did was to prick his hand and squeeze out some blood.
With the help of the "Breathing and Blood Regeneration Technique," the wound would disappear on its own in no time. Victor held the container of blood up to his eyes and waved it before moving closer to examine it.
It can be clearly seen that his originally pure red blood has gained some visible silver luster.
It was as if his blood had been mixed with mercury, making it heavier and thicker than normal blood... and even making him much heavier.
So what did we get in return?
Victor tried it and found that what he got in return was a comprehensive enhancement in his magical abilities.
The perception and manipulation of magic, the upper limit of magic... and the additional magic and compression intensity added when casting spells.
It was as if a magic amplifier had been installed in his body; in almost one night, Viktor's already good magical talent was further enhanced.
"This mercury blood seems to be a bloodline strongly related to magic."
From these changes, Viktor began to speculate about the bloodline within his body:
"It's only been activated and it's already changed so much. I wonder what changes will happen after I upgrade this Mercury Blood to a certain level... By the way, although I don't have any information about Mercury Blood, the academy might have some relevant clues..."
"You can check with the Tower of Stars; you can spend some points."
"As long as there aren't any major problems..."
With a plan in mind, Viktor felt a little more relaxed.
After all, the changes were too drastic, and he felt quite uncertain if he didn't understand them.
Although the mercury blood seems to be helpful to him for the time being, it is related to the so-called secret of his family. If there is really some big pitfall, then he would rather not have this bloodline.
After all, he already has an equipment slot, so even if he takes the path of a bloodline wizard, it won't be difficult for him. Why make trouble for himself?
He then equipped the magic stone, and the magic stone completed the absorption requirement.
The magic stone's attributes are: Magic Energy Refining lv1 {Increases the maximum magic power reserve by 50% and increases magic power refining efficiency by 50%}. The requirement for consuming it is to raise the proficiency of a meditation technique to the proficiency level.
Even following the normal procedure, Viktor should have been able to complete the requirements by today.
It was just that the mercury blood had accelerated the process, so the result wasn't much different.
......
After meditating, Victor opened his eyes.
Feeling the extra magical power surging through my body, I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
With the activation of 'Mercury Blood' and the addition of the 'Magic Refining' attribute, even his meditation speed is twice as fast as usual. If this progress continues, he may be able to raise his mental attributes to the level of a mid-level wizard apprentice in less than two years.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
Garr's voice interrupted Viktor's excitement.
He looked up and replied:
"She's awake. Come in."
Upon hearing this, Garr pushed open the door and walked in, carrying breakfast in his hand.
But the moment he stepped into the house and his eyes met Viktor's, his hand holding the breakfast trembled, and he almost dropped it to the ground.
His eyes widened, and his body froze on the spot. Luckily, the great knight was strong enough, otherwise he probably would have fainted from fright.
"Your Highness... what's wrong...?"
"..."
Hearing his knight's slightly trembling voice, Victor realized that the changes in his appearance were actually more noticeable than the changes in his body.
He said helplessly:
"Don't be afraid, Gar."
"It seems like I've awakened some kind of hidden bloodline... These are all changes that come with activating the bloodline, nothing bad has happened."
Gar was shocked by Viktor's change, but after Viktor said that and he observed Viktor's condition more closely, he believed it.
Based on his understanding of Viktor, if something had really gone wrong, he wouldn't be looking so secretly happy... Not to mention, although Viktor had changed a lot, a closer look would still reveal the vitality beneath his appearance.
So it really did activate the bloodline?
Garr recalled the portraits of the royal ancestors he had seen in the palace and nodded in sudden realization:
"I see, Your Highness... you have activated the royal bloodline of the Feltro family!"
