Gaming Sword Magician

Chapter 72: Zachary initial trial

This old man was chummy with Yeon as they both used to save each other hides before the ancient emperor of water and wind.

The Wind Kingdom is the neighbor of the kingdom of the Water. The land of wind is ruled by the kingdom of Wind. The Water kingdom shares deep ties with the Wind Kingdom, so deep that the prince and princess of the Wind and Water kingdom usually marries each other.

Whittaker knew that elder Zachary was a famous Magic chef, and even a weak chicken can evolve into the king of chicken by taking a sip of his celestial wine (10-star). This elder can turn a weakling into a Dragon king by just feeding them.

The treasure in elder Zachary inheritance trials are bound to be high-ranked, so Whittaker replied instantly with burning curiosity, "Of course, I'm willing to undergo Elder's inheritance trial." 

'If it's too hard then at most I will die. It doesn't matter as I won't die in real life even if I die in the inheritance trial.' Whittaker thought while dropping his blood on the earring to bind with it. The earring absorbed his scarlet blood and soon after, a connection was formed between Whittaker and the earring. He wore it on his left ear which is covered from sight by long, wavy snowy hairs. 

Happily, the elder nods his head in satisfaction as he sees his actions and announces, 

"Alright, I have left three inheritance trials in this dungeon, each harder than the others. The first one is the easy difficulty. After you pass it you'll get an F-ranked Treasure Chest. The second one is the Normal difficulty, passing it will net you a thousand platinum and an E-ranked treasure chest. Also, you can get additional rewards depending on your rate of completion. The third option is the Hard difficulty, where you'll be rewarded a D-ranked treasure chest, but that's not all, you will also receive a "Tarot card". Moreover, you will also receive additional rewards depending on your rate of completion." Elder Zachary waved his hand and three portals opened up.

Each portal has a different color. The first one was colored green. The second one was colored blue. The third one was colored red.

"The choice is yours to make!" Elder Zachary says to the excited Whittaker.

'A total of three inheritance trials. Each with treasure ranked higher than the other, and each harder than the other.' Whittaker purse his lips in thought, 'Hmm, It will cost a lot to purchase F-D-ranked treasures, I still need money to buy a piece of land, a mansion, a shop, elixirs, and a lot of other stuff. I will not go of this chance to make it big! But first, let's confirm some things.'

Whittaker Whittaker turns his attentions towards the image of elder Zachary and asks,

"Elder Zachary, can I ask two questions?"

Instantly, Elder Zachary replies, "Go on!"

Whittaker asks, "Elder, can you see what I do in the inheritance trials? Also, Is there a chance for an F-ranked mage to complete a Hard difficulty inheritance trial?"

"For the first question, it's Yes. I am the judge, after all. As for the second one, if an F-ranked mage makes an active and effective response to the situation at hand then he will pass the hardest difficulty trials!"

A flicker of thought passes through his crystal icy eyes. After a three-second delay, Whittaker says, "Elder, I choose the hard difficulty inheritance trial!"

As a newly awakened Whittaker had the courage to face Barbarian Luo, hence he dared to challenge the Hard difficulty.

"Go ahead!" Elder Zachary excitedly points his hand at the Red portal while staring at the young boy. While the other two portals close.

Whittaker reaches nears the portal and halts in his step,

"Elder before I go in, can I ask one more question?"

"Yes, what's it?" Elder Zachary was a good man and he didn't mind answering some questions to clear the doubt of a young awakened. He was among the ones who have fought to give better lives to the future generation, after all.

"Elder Zachary, do you hate blood attribute users?" Whittaker used his legendary skill "Puppy eyes" while asking this question. He wanted him to answer honestly. Also, he wanted to use his S-ranked class weapon to glorify his performance in the inheritance trial to earn better rewards

That's why he asked this important question.

Depending on the answer, he will either utilize his S-ranked class weapon or not!

"No, why would I? I am not a retarded, jealous, and envy-filled member of the church of light. Actually, If I see one, especially one with a high-ranking blood attribute class user, I will immediately befriend them. Though, young adventurer, why do you ask?" The elder excitedly replies as he knew the prowess the owner of a blood attribute class weapon holds.

"Elder, you won't mind befriending a young boy, would you?" Whittaker says with a smile while stepping into the Scarlet portal.

The elder eyes widened to take a clear look at what suddenly popped up in Whittaker's hand stretching out of the Scarlet portal and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!

"S-ranked!!!!" Elder Zachary chuckled dumbfoundedly and his white beard and long brows dangled in mid-air. Light of wisdom flickers in his eyes as he rubs his beard thoughtfully, 'Could it be that Yeon has exposed the way to my inheritance trial and intentionally send this boy here to conquer it? No! The boy's expression was too pure and real for it to be pre-planned. Whatever, a young one with the potential to become an S-ranker obtaining a part of my inheritance does seem like a blessing, ehehehehehaaha!"

The elder didn't specify who was the one being blessed but from his expression and roaring laughs, one can infer that it is the elder who is blessed to have the owner of an S-rank Class weapon enter his inheritance trials.

Whittaker passed through the Scarlet portal, almost immediately, his vision shifted as he found himself in a completely different environment.

A very dangerous environment!
