Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

A few hours later,

I returned to the academy safely. Before going to the dorm room. I decided to hand over the wooden boxes to the dean. I don't know exactly what the item is. Maybe she can find something about it.

After entering the building, I head straight toward the dean's office. 

After a few minutes of walking, I came to the cabin.

Creak~

The door opened automatically. Seeing that I realized she saw me coming. Then I walked in.

Dean Rebecca stopped her work and asked me to take a seat. I sat opposite her. Before she could ask, I opened my mouth to say, "Dean, I found several wooden boxes in an underground cellar."

Rebecca replied, "Take it out." She sounded more serious than ever. The guardians had already reported to her. 

Zack's fight again shocked her. But the situation of unknown Super Elite Warriors troubled her mind more.

After hearing her, I brought all the wooden boxes to the ground. 

Dean Rebecca stood up from her seat to the insect.

Seeing that I backed away. My behavior didn't go unnoticed.

She asked, "What happened?"

"Terrible smell," I uttered while retreating backward.

Rebecca then opened the cover to see what was inside. The next second, a bad smell filled the office.

She closed the cover the next moment. But her expression was not right. She seems to guess something. Then she opened another four wooden boxes to check the items.

All five boxes have an unknown plant with a terrible smell. 

At the same time, I kept silent. When she finished her checking, I saw her waving her hand. The next second, the bad smell in the room disappeared.

A look of disbelief appeared on my face. I wasn't able to tell what it was. But it looks cool. 

Then I sat on the seat again and asked, "Dean, what is the item?"

After sitting on her seat, she tapped her fingers on the table in a rhythmic manner.

Seeing that I realized she is recalling something. 

"The item looks familiar. Before confirming it, I have to check some sources," She answered.

Hearing that I nodded my head. 

"Dean, what about the sharp daggers? Are they the ones who had sent killers or some other forces," I asked something which was bothering my mind. 

How come there are so many unknown warriors roaming freely? Doubt appeared in my heart.

Rebecca replied, "Zack, elders are interrogating the culprits. Why don't you go back and take some rest?"

"By the way, you did a good job. It's not easy to fight across ranks. You even killed three warriors and caught one."

"It's a tremendous feat," She added.

Hearing that I revealed a small smile on my face. 

"You can go now. I'll contact you after getting the information," She said.

Then I thanked her before walking out of the room. But my smile disappeared as I walked out of the building.

I feel strange right now. She speaks as if she had witnessed the fight herself. I did report to her about the fight a couple of hours ago. But her way of talking? I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

After pushing down these thoughts, I head back to my room.

Meanwhile,

Dean Rebecca recalls the report again. Where Zack had used his body strength to cause maximum damage. 

"Bloodline uh?" She uttered in surprise. 

She thought it was quite possible. Then thinking about Zack's background. She knows it's not good to dig more into this. 

She had warned the guardians to forget about the bloodline. Their job is to protect Zack's life, not to pray into his secrets.

The following day,

9 A.M 

After having breakfast, I take a stride toward the teleportation tower. My purple essence was depleted. I decided not to leave the high peak mountain unit. I recover my essence to the peak.

When I came to the teleportation tower. I walked inside. After stepping up the platform, I activated the server.

Swish~

I disappeared from the spot. The next second, I found myself standing in a dense forest.

Thunder~

As usual, the dark clouds covered the sky. I'm seeing the heavy downpour of rain. I wasn't annoyed. This is an ideal situation for me. 

Then I started walking toward the location.

Meanwhile,

Two peak elite warriors are taking cover under the shade of huge bedrock. They are warriors from Red Moon Tower.

At this time, a huge rain pour is causing them trouble. They came here to collect herbs. But right now, they can only wait for the rain to stop.

These two warriors go by the name of Rick and Monty. Both of them are average warriors of the Red Moon Tower. Only by completing the mission can they earn more points to buy resources.

So they are frustrated by the situation.

Monty notices something odd. Normally, the ground around the bedrock is supposed to be covered with dense vegetation and grown-out weeds.

But right now, only small grasses can be seen on the ground.

Rick notices his friend's behavior and asks, "What are you staring at?"

Monty then told him about his doubts.

Rick is not stupid either. He quickly realized the truth.

"Are people coming here daily?" He asked.

Monty shook his head and replied, "Herbal collection mission is a monthly mission. For special herbs, I saw people coming here weekly once."

"And the Special herbs are rare. After collection, it would take 2 months to grow back. So no daily missions aren't allowed," Monty said.

Rick nodded his head in understanding. Then he asked, "So what about this place? Who else comes here?"

Monty shook his head.

He replied, "I don't know. Should we report it back to the academy?"

Rick said, "No. There is no evidence. We can't report it just because of speculation."

Monty also agreed with his answer. Then both of them continued to wait.

Time passes,

After a few hours of walking, I got closer to the foot of the mountain. Last time, I was startled by the sudden appearance of the pseudo-monster.

So I'm keeping an eye on the surroundings by using perception. 

A few minutes later,

I caught something in my perception. But this time, it's not monsters but warriors. A frown appeared on my face. 

This is the last thing I want to see. The warriors appear to be taking cover. They won't go until the rain stops. And I don't want to go back either.

If I move any further, it will certainly attract their attention. So I decided to wait here.

But as time passed, the rain stopped. My expression turned darker. If this continues, then it's going to waste my day.

When I was sulking. I don't know what happened. I see them leaving the place. Maybe they too realized. This heavy downpour of rain is not going to stop at all.

After they left, I waited for a few more minutes. Then I started walking toward the bedrock. I don't think those two would come back. And their direction of leaving also points toward the exit.

After reaching the familiar spot, I found a small cave space to sit down. I kept my perception activated. Then I sat cross-legged on the ground and started to run the celestial lightning scripture. 

Right after, the lightning rune in my consciousness started to flicker. 

Slowly the purple essence started to enter my body from the surroundings. Then I guided the energy according to the celestial lightning scripture. 

After circulation, the refined essence gathers inside the dantian. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.

Time passed, 

When the dantian was half filled. The majestic totem starts to make a move. Under its power, the pure purple essence becomes even more refined.

Then I continued to cultivate.

After two hours, I stopped cultivating as my purple essence recovered to its peak. 

I didn't leave. Rather I decided to cultivate the wood essence as well. The healing energy plays an important role during a life-threatening fight.

So I made up my mind to give equal importance to the wood scripture as well. 

Slowly, the deep green essence entered my body. I then guided the energy through my veins. After one circulation, the deep green essence gathers inside the dantian.

As time passes, the deep green essence like a small cloud gathers in the middle of the purple essence. 

Time passed,

I opened my eyes three hours later. Seeing that it was a post-noon, I decided to leave. Before that, I checked my dantian once again.

The dantian is filled with purple essence and there is also a small amount of deep green essence in it.

A hint of relief flashes in my eyes.

I got up from the ground and started to walk.

I reached the teleportation point a few hours later. 

By the time, I got back to my room. It's almost late evening. I walked to the bath to take a shower.

A few minutes later,

I changed into comfortable clothes and lay down on my bed. Today went well. But I don't know what happened to those culprits. 

Sharp daggers ah? I hope she tells me later.
