Lord of the Truth

Chapter 159 – Soul Imprint Cards

Little Remus and his companions were left hanging upside down at the main gate of Jura for two whole days before Marquess Rufus personally came to take him away, and even Galan Bradley intervened to prevent further problems

But when the Marquess arrived at Jura, he became extremely angry when he saw the halberd in his son's ass from a mile away and attacked the city guards in a fit of rage and killed quite a few…

He knew how huge was the blow to his son's personality and future after what happened in that arena with Caesar and he already started to groom other successors since then just in case, but an even more humiliation befall his head now… with one look at this sight he knew his son was a lost cause.

After he took his son and left, the Burtons send out a formal announcement that this isn't the first time the Marquess and his son tried to kill one of their own, and that they had enough and won't stay silent anymore in front of this injustice

With this, and due to the attempted murder of Robin Burton and the attack on the Jura city guards, the Marquess family was prevented from attending any future auctions in a public humiliating manner.

The escalations also included the Marquess closing his borders with the Duchy of Alton, in protest of being prevented from participating in the talisman monthly auctions, which should be a right for everyone in the kingdom.

The kingdom was on a hot plate, there were those who say that the Burtons are missing using the fact that the auction is in these lands, and those who backed the Burtons to get closer to them…

All of this was happening, while Robin was laughing at his palace… He was thinking about how to explain things to the public when the war starts and some may think he is making flimsy excuses to spread the family lands, but they came in time and give him every possible reason he needed on a plate of gold

He also ordered to direct more provocations towards them for the coming period and to attempt to bring Marquess Tawi in as well and agitate their ugly bast a little… 

there are still years before the five years period ends, but for those in power, the war has already begun.

And at that, another year passed…

Nothing new appeared on the external level except for the escalation of tension with the Duchy of Evren from the south, with verbal and political confronts with Marquess Rufus, as well as small skirmishes on the border with Marquess Tawi that he always tries to end peacefully

The Burton family's army in Jura City has already reached 170,000 soldiers and increasing by the day, their training has reached an advanced stage, all they need is some good armaments…

even with the absence of the high level figures of the family, General Edward has left a few of his trusted aids to train the army at Jura before he is gone

The repeated breakthrough into the three Special legions also progresses astoundingly, during such a short period of time the Burton family has gained a number of knights they never dreamed of in their history!

Senior Knights and Saints, their progress was noticeably slow compared to the rest of the branches, but they were still making progress… 

especially the young Billy who entered level 22 months ago and started making serious progress towards the next level

As for Robin, seeing the relatively peaceful situation, he returned to what he loves most, adding more achievements to his name.

During this year, he created a few runes to raise the efficiency of a few new pills, especially in the branch of increasing the body's affinity towards a certain element, which became very popular.

He also created a wind talisman that enables its owner to double his speed for 10 seconds!

He made 3 versions of the wind talisman, the first for use by those in the energy foundation, the second is for the knights, and the third for the saints, and all of them gained instant popularity and were sold at astonishing prices

He also raised the power of the Darkness talisman and made it three versions just like the wind's, so that the third version could even deceive the spiritual sense of saints for 5 seconds!

The first version of the wind and dark talismans was already taught to the rune masters and began to be mass-produced, the second version of it could only be made by Mila and a selected elite of the talismans masters…

As for the third version, it remained exclusive to Robin, he only makes them for the purpose of selling them in auctions for tens of thousands of Gold coins per one!

And most importantly… the Soul Imprint Card was made.

Robin has often found that buying a pair of sound rings and distributing them to two individuals before parting is not practical, so what if the number of uses expires when they are thousands of miles apart? Then one of them has to travel all the way to another and give him another sound ring before departing again?

That not even mentioning that the important nobles now have strong men who specialize in carrying boxes full of rings behind them wherever they go! 

Someone like the patriarch has 27 rings so far that he must carry wherever he goes!

One talisman enables you to communicate with everyone you know, and even when the number of uses expires and you buy another one, you can still make your calls and your contacts can still reach you easily… That was Robin's goal.

A few months later, he came up with the idea of ​​a Soul Imprint Card… 

just a rectangular metal card, one finger long and three fingers wide,

All you have to do after buying a new sound talisman is to inject it with your soul print to identify it as yours, and then inject your soul imprint into the Soul Imprint Cards and distribute them to those who want to reach you.

The idea of ​​the card is to store the imprint of your soul inside it and give the card to the person you want to communicate with you, the person records the imprint of your soul inside his sound talisman and can use that soul print to send messages to you forever as long as the card is with him.

Even if the sound talisman had one use, they could buy another one and use the same Soul Imprint card to communicate with the target.. and with that, the matter of the two rings was over.

For example, a person like the patriarch will have one ring on his finger, and he will distribute 27 cards to the rest of his contacts, and even if his ring breaks, he can buy another one and the 27 will be able to communicate with him normally and easily

All this is in addition to the feature of direct transmission of thoughts! after fusing the thoughts conveying Technique instead of the sound waves based one, it became much more effective, as no one has to actually speak when sending messages again…

The new generation of sound talismans made a huge noise around the kingdom!!

The old generation is still being released at the same reduced prices, but the prices of the new generation have increased a few times at once.

And instead of just buying the two rings, now everyone has to buy soul imprint cards constantly to keep with them and distribute them to their acquaintances… and foreigners actually, distributing soul imprint cards have become a way to say I'm rich and from a good family.

Now it has become one of the successful forms of flirting, and the young masters are running around distributing their soul imprint cards to beautiful girls!

The idea of ​​the soul imprint card has also been applied to the secret scrolls, now after completing the message or technique that you are making and wanting to deliver it to a specific person, you put the imprint of his soul on it, and with that only he can open it and read what is inside… 

This raised the value of the empty scrolls For more than ten times!

Due to the increased pressure on the Runes, especially the sound Runes, and the small number of new applicants for the rune Master position, Robin made a tablet that glows when approached by an individual with a strong soul.

Previously, only Saints could sense how strong the soul of young men was, but now with a few Scouting tablets made by Robin, many expeditions began to spread around to search for young talents among the residents of Jura and nearby cities and recruit them for the academy…

This year was undoubtedly one of the most productive years in Robin's life!

However, the zero hour is getting closer and closer, and the calm is about to end….
