If he mastered this ability, would it mean that in the future he could also transform his entire body into a set of Darkin Armor for combat, like Rhaast?
Thinking of this, Durin decided to make learning Blood Magic the primary goal of his next plan.
Then, having obtained two expensive Devil Potions from Vayne and learned how to train his soul, Durin wondered if he should strengthen his will.
According to Vayne's explanation, mental power and soul are the same concept; if one wants the soul to become increasingly profound, then willpower must be sufficiently tenacious.
What is linked to will is Charm in the character card system, because the higher the Charm, the stronger his personal will becomes, and he can subtly influence others' senses.
Thinking of this, Durin knew he should invest his remaining skill specialization point into the Charm option, upgrading it from LV.1 to LV.2.
Then, what he needs to do next is to frequently visit Seraphine's home, to let her singing help him accelerate the recovery and strengthening of his torn soul.
Furthermore, he also needs to help Vayne find that Demon as soon as possible and eliminate her!
As he thought this, Durin unconsciously fell asleep.
...
Knock knock knock!
A sudden knocking sound on the door woke Durin from his sleep.
He rubbed his eyes sleepily and looked up at the wall clock, which showed the time: 8:50 AM.
Damn it!
He slept late again!
Durin cursed inwardly. 'Forget it, since I'm late, I won't go to class today.'
Whether his life can be saved is still a question; going to class is pointless. It's better to take the Devil Potion first, then go to Seraphine's house; it's about time to go.
But who is knocking on the door so early in the morning!
Durin was a bit annoyed. He frowned and opened the door. Four people stood at the entrance.
One was Seraphine's father, Daniel. He looked much more refreshed than before, and even his hair roots were coated with a shiny layer of hair wax.
The other three were Piltover Guard Enforcers in blue and black striped uniforms. Two of them looked older, and on their shoulders were police ranks of 1 chevron plus 1 arc stripe.
The person leading them had a slightly younger, resolute face and a tall, upright posture. But on his shoulders were two chevron stripes, a police rank inconsistent with his age; this Enforcer captain was at the detective level.
"Mr. Durin?"
The leading Enforcer stepped forward, confirmed he hadn't mistaken the person, and handed over a sealed paper bag, saying, "This was sent by the Council, specifically to be delivered to you personally. It also contains the temporary police badge granted to you by the Council, as well as a firearm permit and a newly developed Hextech pistol."
"Don't worry, it has been tested and is very stable. The Council hopes it can be of help to you. At the same time, Councilor Kyle Ward once again expresses her sincere affirmation of your enterprising spirit and fearless sacrifice."
"Oh? Sent by the Council?"
Durin's expression shifted, and he raised his eyebrows as he took it. He didn't choose to open it immediately, but instead noticed a series of numbers and a name on the officer's chest: Marcus, badge number: 5K-31.
Marcus?
That name sounds familiar, isn't he the one Silco bought off?
A few years later, he would climb step by step to the highest position in the Piltover Guard, which is Chief of Police.
In the animation, Grayson, the Chief of Police, kept Marcus by her side, clearly valuing him greatly and intending to cultivate him.
When Enforcer Supervisor Grayson unexpectedly died in Zaun, Marcus, who was the party involved and had been by her side, was neither suspended for investigation nor transferred from his post.
It's important to know that Piltover has always emphasized standards, so the critical Piltover Hall of Justice must also have a standard procedure, but Marcus remained perfectly safe.
This made Durin suspect that perhaps the Council needed an absolute role model who could stabilize the fluctuating morale within the Piltover Guard, and Marcus happened to be just such a candidate. Therefore, not only was he not demoted, but he was even promoted by one rank.
"What's wrong?" Marcus noticed Durin's gaze fixed on his chest and asked with some confusion.
Durin recovered, smiled, and said, "Nothing much, it's my first time seeing an Enforcer of the detective rank, so I'm a bit curious."
Marcus's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "Then we'll be going first."
After the three Enforcers left, Daniel, Seraphine's father, pushed up his round glasses and said with a smile, "The Outstanding Citizen Award, congratulations, Mage Durin. Today's the day to pay your rent!"
