Chapter 875: Chapter 486: Is It Still Possible to Believe in Light Now?
The first body was merely to gain Lucidia’s trust, and it didn’t necessarily need to be hers; anything familiar and approved by her would suffice. A small bunny would save some materials due to its small size.
However, this idea quickly fell apart. Silver Coin, holding a bunny identical to her pet, approached her. Lucidia stared at it for a while, then plucked a hair from her head: “Do it again.”
“What? No need, right? It’s very expensive to do once; our materials are only enough for two more tries.” Silver Coin reluctantly said.
Lucidia sighed in relief yet firmly said, “Do it again, make my body, I can pay double, forty million Demon Crystals.”
“Hiss—” Silver Coin felt a twinge in his teeth, the first time he felt money could burn. You can’t just spend money like this, can you?
“Really unnecessary, it’s too wasteful. The materials are very precious and hard to get; we only have enough left for two more tries, there’s no need to waste them.” Silver Coin advised.
“No, I can pay double. Do it.” Lucidia said resolutely.
“Alright, you spendthrift…” Silver Coin reluctantly said, “If it’s yours, it’s best to give me a few drops of blood. Hair won’t work.”
Silver Coin, holding a small vial of blood, stepped onto the Teleportation Array and burst out laughing as soon as he teleported away.
Could he not see through Lucidia’s little scheme? Even her having such ‘little schemes’ was something Silver Coin had deliberately steered her towards.
Intentionally mentioning that only enough materials for two more makes were left, artificially creating a scarcity.
And Lucidia was willing to spend forty million Demon Crystals for a unique chance rather than twenty million for one of the chances.
It was like someone willing to buy a pair of treasures, smash one, and then the remaining one becomes unique.
Of course, Silver Coin guiding her to think this way wasn’t about making one more sale; draining a big client’s wallet wasn’t his goal as a cunning dealer—his goal was to grow with his client.
Guiding her to think so was to make her believe that this material was rare; otherwise, if you could easily create a body identical to a client, what would the client think?

Would she worry that one day you might create a body and replace her?
A day later, Silver Coin, pushing a body looking exactly like Lucidia but ten years younger, completely surprised her, the impact of seeing a bunny identical to hers was nothing compared to seeing her own exact double.
Now she understood why Silver Coin had insisted that her guards and maids leave; such a bare body soaked in Essence Liquid, if seen by her guards, how could they continue to interact afterward?
Lucidia blushed, hurriedly pulled up the cover only revealing the face, and after examining it for a while, she suddenly asked, “Is this body replacement absolutely safe?”
Silver Coin said, “To speak of safety, it is definitely safe if you could come to our place for the procedure, one hundred percent safe. Even if there’s an accident, our master can still save you. Here, it’s also safe; we’ve conducted this ceremony three times successfully.”
“Only three times?” Lucidia exclaimed.
Silver Coin earnestly said, “Miss Lucidia, the materials for this ritual are extremely precious. If you weren’t one of our major clients, you wouldn’t have access to this level of secret technique, let alone twice. Oh, the bunny doesn’t count; it’s too small. We handled it with scrap material, consider it a gift.”
Lucidia took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “Okay, prepare the ceremony, replace me.”
Silver Coin hadn’t really expected this and after a pause, he asked, “You? Do you need a body replacement? That doesn’t seem right. What about your grandfather, Arcanist Enki?”
Lucidia gave Silver Coin a meaningful look.
Silver Coin rubbed his hands: “Hehe, I obviously need to do a background check on my own client to tailor better service, please don’t take it amiss.”
Lucidia laughed: “I wouldn’t be reassured if you didn’t. If you dared to agree to this matter without knowing anything, I’d have to worry about your capabilities. Since that’s settled, then you know what this means, don’t you?”
Silver Coin laughed: “I don’t know what it means, we just hope Arcanist Enki lives a long and healthy life, not having to make decisions contrary to his wishes due to age or illness, and this is also the hope of the Holy Light.”
“The Holy Light? So you are from…” Lucidia suddenly realized.
Knowing Silver Coin’s background, Lucidia felt even more confident because for others, doing such body replacements was incredibly far-fetched, but for the Church of Light, it was expected; they were inherently skilled in these matters.
Now that the truth was out, Lucidia no longer beat around the bush but laid it bare: “Since you already know my identity, you must also know the situation of my grandfather. His condition is not good; the Magic Backlash has been draining his life continuously. If this continues, he won’t last another six months.”
“Body replacement can eliminate Magic Backlash, and because it’s cultivated from one’s own flesh and blood, even the Elemental Affinity won’t weaken,” Silver Coin explained, flowing with Lucidia’s words.
This was something Lucidia hadn’t considered, yet it was critical; if the Elemental Affinity of the body decreased, wouldn’t that mean a decrease in strength?
If she were to drop out of the realm of an Arcane Magician, then her deterrent power would also decrease, and those coveting their family would easily start getting ideas.
