Chapter 337 -336: The Little Grape’s Plan

“What’s this, firewood?”

When Yi Chen saw the word, the first thing he thought of was actually skewering a grape and roasting it over a campfire.

“That’s what you don’t know! When I accepted this ancient eye disease, I glimpsed many scenes from the old times! It must be said, this human Prophet Rudolf really had astonishing willpower.

He wasn’t like the Eye Collector, Gemhar, who indulged in depravity, specializing in the study of evil techniques, quite the contrary, he was a completely upright person.

He couldn’t accept ‘Burning Eye Syndrome,’ this ancient and evil illness, at all; he relied entirely on his own willpower to hold on and even achieved ‘Half-Integration.’

It’s precisely because Rudolf paved the way for me that I was able to accept this gift relatively easily… This ancient eye disease will lead me to higher domains.

However, Rudolf wasn’t directly infected initially; instead, he contracted the disease indirectly through observation.

And since he has been dead for so long, the disease has diminished over hundreds of years, and so far, I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg.

To gain the true power of this ancient eye disease, I still need to seek out the scattered ‘firewood’ in the Old World, or collected by some patients already, which is an ancient material carrying this cursed flame.

Anyone who probes into the material will contract ‘Burning Eye Syndrome.’ If I can use the flames kindled with this material to burn my eyes, I can further enhance this ability.”

“That doesn’t sound like anything good, and it should also cause harm to you, right?”

“You know nothing! Since ancient times, to attain the ultimate power, one must bear the corresponding burden, and even give up some things… Moreover, since I was born, I have been considered an evil being, this thing couldn’t be more suitable for me.

William, do you want to experience my new ability?”

“Not for now! Little Grape, you’ve just been reborn from the ashes, take a good rest.”

“Coward!”

After a brief conversation, the scene returns to the Holy Body Room.

Since Little Grape had fully accepted the eyes of Prophet Rudolf, the Prophet’s physical body had also turned completely to ashes.

“Archbishop Yaleris, I’m so sorry! We couldn’t preserve Prophet Rudolf’s body.”

“Haha, there’s nothing to apologize for, I should be thanking you~ Rudolf has always been trapped in the curse, and now he finally gained the freedom he deserved. Moreover, he passed on his eyes, although in a way that might be different from what he expected.

Since your pet can form a human shape and has become Rudolf’s successor, why not give it a gentleman status and let it participate in Zion’s ‘Prophet Examination’?

If it can pass, it could give it a decent platform for development.”

“Is that possible? I’ll ask.”

When Yi Chen conveyed the Archbishop’s suggestion, Little Grape promptly refused,

“Humph! Does this old man think he can trap me with the ‘Prophet’ identity? Wishful thinking… I will never be confined within mere human organizations. I’ve glimpsed the beauty of the Old World already. When you, William, are no longer here, let’s go on an adventure to the Old World together.”

“We can postpone the adventure for later; I’ll definitely go when the time comes.

Wouldn’t it be good to mix in and take on the Prophet role now? Or is it that you, Little Grape, don’t believe you have the strength to become a Prophet?”

“Ptui! It’d be all too easy for me to become a human Prophet, but I just don’t want to be restricted.”

“How about this, if you find any treaty during the process of the Prophet examination that restricts you, you just drop out, okay? As for the gentleman status, the Archbishop will sort that out for you.”

“Then… I will reluctantly give it a try.”

Little Grape’s last sentence clearly lacked confidence, after all, he had gone through the nightmare game with Yi Chen and had witnessed the standards of Yuri and Marko Prophet.

However, since the Archbishop had personally suggested it and was willing to help, Yi Chen still wanted Little Grape to at least give it a try,

If Little Grape could gain the Prophet identity, it could maximize the use of the organization’s resources, and this would also benefit Little Grape itself.

As the Archbishop sent out the message, staff from the Gentleman Hall soon arrived on the scene to register a gentleman status for Little Grape and provided a sufficient amount of ‘Gentleman’s Skin.’

Name registered as “Ember Grep.”

By now, the young grape had transformed into a human form, shrouded in a black clerical robe given to him by the Archbishop, his exposed body parts faintly dispersing ashen patterns, and under the hood, there could also be glimpses of multiple eyes.

The Archbishop scrutinized the young grape’s clerical attire. “Next, all you need to do is take this leather to any tailor shop, put on a fitting outfit, and you will be able to apply for the prophetic test… Here is my letter of recommendation. It should save you a lot of trouble,” he said.

From beneath the cloak, the young grape extended a hand covered in embers to receive the letter of recommendation.

The two bowed in farewell to the Archbishop, and as they had just stepped out of the building’s grand entrance, a familiar aura swept over from the side.

“Principal Desline!”

“I knew it… It’s you, William, causing trouble! To think that you could even inherit Rudolf’s ‘Ash Eye,’ your little creature inside is truly remarkable,” she said.

Desline slightly lifted her glasses and stared at the stranger wrapped in the black clerical robe beside Yi Chen,

Feeling somewhat uneasy as she caught sight of the charred eyeballs beneath the hood, even her own eyes began to reflect a touch of ash.

However, as a stream of stars crossed by, the influence of the ash was gone.

“Clad in a clerical robe, holding a skin, standing alone in form… Are you planning to become a gentleman of the organization under the Archbishop’s recommendation?” she inquired.

Yi Chen explained the situation, detailing the events that had led them there.

“So you want to take the test to become a Prophet, which is one of the highest level tests within the organization. However, since you could inherit Rudolf’s eyes, it means you must have some skill. Go and give it a try,” she advised.

The young grape remained silent, merely nodding slightly in agreement.

Desline turned her gaze toward Yi Chen, “So you mean to say, you entered the ‘Secret Storage Room’ just to get that eye for your pet, and you yourself got nothing?”

“Yes, well, I did take a careful look around but didn’t find anything particularly interesting. I’ll wait until I have some free time to seek opportunities in the Old World,” he replied.

“You just finished dealing with that nightmare and you’re already thinking of heading to the Old World? Take a break for a while. You haven’t been to my office in some time. How is your self-study of star magic going?” she asked.

Yi Chen, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head,

“Recently, I’ve had a new understanding I wanted to discuss with the Principal, but I’ve been too busy to come by. I’ll come to find you after I take the young grape to get an outfit made,” he said.

“A new understanding? Hmm… Go on then, don’t forget to come see me first—I’m eager to see what you’ve realized,” she said.

…

“Saville Tailor Market”

The largest gathering area of tailors under the organization. Apart from tailors like Mr. Ivan who have completely severed ties with the organization and do not require any subsidies, operating independently,

most of the orthodox tailors who stay in Zion and have passed the tailoring qualification exam open shops in this area, either on their own or in partnership with other tailors.

They don’t need to worry about business performance—as long as the shop operates normally and passes the monthly inspection standards, they can receive a substantial subsidy.

Of course, shops that receive favorable customer reviews and produce a sufficient quantity of clothing will also gain the organization’s support, with corresponding tailors able to advance in rank, obtaining higher level honors and statuses, and enjoying better treatment.

Every day, a large number of gentlemen come to the market for repairs, alterations, and material additions to their clothing.

Yi Chen also came here with the young grape,

and they casually entered a rather quiet shop.

Before the shopkeeper behind the counter could get up, Yi Chen took out a special business card and showed it to him… The tailor who was the shopkeeper was so startled by the words on the card that he nearly fell off his seat.

“You’re looking for the President Tailor, Mr. Spacy?!”

“Yes, it’s our first time here. Could you please show us the way?”

“Well, alright then, please follow me.”
