Chapter 226: Bloodline Upgrade Potion |
Lucas after visiting his home had been pretty much cooped up in his house to the point that he could teach a NEET or 'how to be lazy' class and if there was a system that records one achievement, he would've been the champion.
His daily routine had been already been in a disarray. In the academy, he would stay up late at night to for self-training and would sleep for 4-5 hours.
Before sleeping he would activate the mana breathing technique and when he woke up, he would feel refreshed and all his aches and pains would be subsided greatly.
But living in his, house where everything was brought to him, to the point that his mother even wanted to feed him, and only stopped after Lucas's pleading. He could feel that he was becoming a sloth.
"I am sure my senses will become dull if this goes on for a month, while Fredrick would be working hard."
"I remember that father is a swordsman. I should ask for a training session with him." Lucas muttered rubbing his chin but before that, he should get out of his bed now or he may be addicted to being lazy.
Moreover, his father had called him to discuss something important.
.......
Leonard stared at the scene with a blank expression while a small sigh escaped from Lucas's lips
His mother, who was stroking his hair stopped abruptly and looked at Lucas with a sullen expression as if she was wronged and her right had been taken away.
"Why? Don't you like it?"
"Mom, it's not that. I don't hate it." Lucas muttered with an embarrassed expression but shook his head.
"It's addictive mom. I don't want to feel lonely and miss it."
Lucas turned to see Eleanor who had a guilty expression, as though she wanted to stop but contrary to Lucas's expectations, his mother hugged him tightly, surprising him.
"Aaaahhh!" Lucas screamed, feeling his mother's too-tight hug.
His mother was an oddball. Lucas feared that if they were noble she would have spoiled her child beyond irreparable.
"Cough...Cough…"
Lucas nodded.
"Preserving bloodline purity is a need of the hour. If everyone did this and all the upper-grade bloodlines started to marry lower bloodlines, what do you think will happen in the future? The future generations would surely be bleak if this goes on to the point that the bloodline grade might be lost. So, our house refused to accept your great grandmother but Grandpa Walker was as stubborn as a mule just to marry her he started to search for a potion to upgrade his bloodline. He didn't want to make her bloodline diamond, rather he wanted her to at least have a bloodline."
Leonard paused,and continued.
"But there was nothing there, no natural treasure to do this so he had to rely on alchemy and after countless research, he concluded that he had to find the missing component. And that was the tear of isle and branch of the world tree and both of them were a sacred thing of elves."
"So, he infiltrated elves' home and stole it, "Lucas muttered.
"Brat, how can you level your grandpa as a thief?" Leonard incredulously asked.
"He helped the Elves to overcome the crisis."
"What was the crisis?" Lucas asked as his eyes glowed.
"I don't know."
Lucas's expression stiffened for a moment and he glared at his father.
"You don't know or are you deliberately hiding it?"
"I don't know Lucas. That was a secret deal, but what matters is that your grandma got a bronze bloodline and grandpa married her and destroyed the future generations." Leonard spoke with a sigh, only God knows what curse was cast on their house for him to be born with a diamond bloodline only to be taken away.
"And Lucas I secretly mixed the potion in your drink which raised your bloodline to bronze."
"Hmmm…I see, but what is our bloodline ability?" Lucas asked but his father spoke with a blank expression.
"We don't have any bloodline ability and even if it was present we might have lost it."
