Chapter 876: Chapter 486: Is It Too Late to Believe in Light Now?_2

The explanation from Silver Coin came just in time; otherwise, if she brought her grandfather over only to discover that these key points were unclear, Grandpa would definitely doubt her ability.

“If we replace Grandpa’s body, it must be one hundred percent safe. What measures do you have to ensure that?” Lucidia asked seriously.

Silver Coin spread his hands: “For some reasons I cannot disclose, I can guarantee absolute safety, as long as you are willing to come to our place for the body replacement. However, to boost your confidence, I have prepared a Life Box.”

“Hiss, you can even get a Life Box?” Lucidia was shocked. Silver Coin meant that even if the body replacement failed, they could still turn her grandfather into a Witch—wasn’t that her original purpose?

With no worries about the future, Lucidia said, “However, for safety’s sake, I want to go through the process first for Grandpa, to ensure the entire process is safe. I can take risks, but Grandpa cannot.”

Silver Coin shook his head: “No, no, no, Miss Lucidia, that is not your intention. You originally just wanted to know if we possess the capability to create a body, without any preparation for replacement. What has made you change your mind? Given the situation, Miss Lucidia, we need a more honest attitude.”

Seeing that Silver Coin was not fooled by her, Lucidia hemmed and hawed for a while before saying, “This body is more than a decade younger, right?”

“Is that it?” Silver Coin was amazed.

“What do you mean ‘is that it’? Don’t you think this skin, this hairline, this waistline… Ah! Don’t look!” As Lucidia pointed out the features, she realized this was her own body and couldn’t let it be seen by others, so she quickly pulled the blanket back up.

Silver Coin found it hard to understand—was she really willing to take such a big risk just to be more than a decade younger? Though there was the factor of paving the way for her grandfather, Silver Coin still found it hard to comprehend.

It would be understandable if Lucidia were too old, for Silver Coin had seen those elderly women in Goddess of Beauty City who were crazy about various beauty treatments.

But the current Lucidia was at the most graceful age, like a ripe peach, her whole body radiating maturity, fullness, and sweetness; plus, being a strong Swordsman, her valiance and charm were simultaneously present, melding into a lethal magnetism.

This was already a matter of temperament; he really couldn’t understand why she would risk giving up her current self to replace it with a younger body just for the sake of being more than a decade younger?

“You don’t understand; I just want to switch, anyway. Didn’t you guarantee absolute safety? How can that be called taking a risk? Are you lying to me?” Lucidia said.

Silver Coin spread his hands helplessly; he couldn’t very well say that his words were spoken lightly. In any case, he had already advised her; if the client wanted to take risks, then the only thing he could do was to tie the safety rope a bit tighter.

However, before the replacement, one more thing needed to be done: to invite the Arcanist Lord Enki.

Not long after, outside the room’s door, Lucidia was forcefully pulling an elder man: “Grandpa, Grandpa, come over here, I have something for you to see.”

The elder man smiled indulgently: “Little Luci, what wonderful thing do you want to show Grandpa? Eh? Is there a guest?”

Upon entering the room, Lord Enki immediately noticed Silver Coin and also sensed something was off in the room with the Teleportation Array. There was only one Goblin, and Lucidia’s attendants and maids were nowhere to be seen. What was going on?

Lord Enki immediately became alert, his mind quickly flashing through several possibilities, and he quietly activated his summoning Array, calling his followers.

Silver Coin raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, then gave a formal bow: “Greetings, Snow Howl Lord Enkixi, messenger of the God of Balance, Silver Coin, at your service.”

“The God of Balance?” Never heard of it. Lord Enki frowned, where did this charlatan come from, swindling his way to his granddaughter? But Lucidia didn’t give him much time to think, hastily pulling Enki to the vat of Essence Liquid.

Seeing a more than a decade younger and one-size-smaller Lucidia inside the vat, Lord Enki was dumbstruck, looking back and forth between the real Lucidia and the vat, it took him quite a while to murmur: “Your illegitimate child? Who’s the father?”

Lucidia was greatly embarrassed; after a bit of coquettish protest, she explained the origin of the body in the vat.

As soon as he heard that the body was cultured from Lucidia’s flesh and blood and that consciousness could be transferred to it, Lord Enki immediately realized—it was a chance for him to continue living.

Lord Enki turned to Silver Coin, asking bluntly, “How much?”

“Forty million Demon Crystals,” Silver Coin replied.

“Hiss—How can you ensure safety?” First, Lord Enki took a sharp breath at the painful price, but then he continued to inquire.

“We have prepared a Life Box for you, as a second option in case of failure, although it’s highly unlikely to fail. Besides, your granddaughter is willing to test this method to verify its feasibility,” Silver Coin said.

“Nonsense, she’s just a thirty-year-old child, conducting experiments for this old man who’s knocking on death’s door?” said Lord Enkixi sternly.

“Grandpa—” Lucidia called out in protest.

“No fooling around.” Lord Enkixi stamped his foot, and the elements around him immediately became chaotic. Outside, over a dozen followers rushed in.

“Watch over the young lady,” ordered Lord Enkixi, then, without caring that Lucidia’s cheeks were puffed up like a chipmunk’s, he turned to silver coin and asked, “Has the Elemental Affinity of the body changed? What about spiritual power? Will it affect Magic Power?”

Indeed, he asked about these key issues and even delved deeper.

Silver coin answered, “Since it’s cultured from your own flesh and blood, nothing will change. There might be a need for adaptation over some time, but it will not affect strength.”

In his detailed questioning for more specifics, he also probed into the identity of silver coin, weaving several linguistic traps to coax out more information, showcasing the cunning of an Arcane Magician.

However, silver coin was even craftier, responding flawlessly and introducing all the details Lord Enkixi wanted to know with clarity, including those he hadn’t anticipated.

Being picky is the nature of a buyer. The money from such customers, silver coin earned without any burden. On the contrary, earning money from someone like Lucidia felt a bit embarrassing because it was too easy.

In the end, Lord Enkixi asked, “What do you require of me?”

“Remain neutral, aspire towards the Light,” silver coin replied.

Lord Enkixi was somewhat incredulous, “That’s it? I don’t have to donate one-tenth of my wealth? I don’t have to worship the God of Light? I don’t have to pray every day?”

“No need, no need. You’ve already paid, right? Forty million Demon Crystals,” said silver coin with a smile, but inside he was already cursing: the tithe, Kvada, Anthony the charlatan is easier to scam.

After musing for a while, Lord Enkixi asked, “May I witness my new body taking form with my own eyes?”

“Certainly, but you’d have to go to our facility,” silver coin replied.

This was more like it, unlike Lucidia who was so careless, daring to replace her body without even knowing how it was made.

“You stay here, I will visit your place,” said Lord Enkixi.

This implied leaving silver coin behind as a hostage.

Silver coin, of course, didn’t mind, only saying, “That’s fine, but it’s meaningless. They can’t restrain me.”

Lord Enkixi’s followers didn’t like the sound of that. What did he mean? Our ten or so Swordsmen and Great Swordsmen can’t restrain a Goblin dwarf?

Suddenly, light emanated from silver coin’s body, and he produced a large purse.

Lord Enkixi’s eyes widened in shock, “What is this…”

He could feel the change in silver coin’s aura, but he could not identify what it had become.

“Uh, have you never seen a Mystical Warrior? Never witnessed a True God Possession? Ah, showing off for nothing,” said silver coin with a hint of regret.

Realizing that silver coin’s strength might be on par with his own, Lord Enkixi gritted his teeth and took the risk of going to Godfall Town, witnessing the formation of his body and then also the consciousness transfer of a hopping rabbit.

After verifying that the hopping rabbit had no adverse effects post consciousness transfer, Lord Enkixi finally made up his mind.

He knew his own body’s condition best; without change, he had at most half a year to live.

The consciousness transfer went smoothly, since Anthony was presiding. Lord Enkixi woke up in the new body, feeling the vitality of his new form, and the aftereffects of past Magic Backlashes had also vanished.

Feeling light-hearted, Lord Enkixi said, “Can this replacement be done multiple times? Can I achieve eternal life through this method? What price must I pay to learn it? Is it still timely to believe in the Light now?”
