Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 139: Bloodline

The Aethrym’s chief, Badong, was sitting on the sofa when they entered the room. Brando and Sando, standing behind them, nodded at them but kept silent.

"Welcome, and the lady over there has also changed, huh."

Badong greeted them, slight surprise flashing in his old, big eyes. He had seen the power Elara held and the way she was behaving, so seeing her laughing came off as a surprise.

Veer smiled and greeted back. Then, he said, as he sat down on a sofa, "Something was bothering her and she couldn’t talk to anyone aside from Rock. But now we’re here."

"Good good. I’m glad the little lady is fine now. She saved our Town, so I was really grateful to her and wanted to help. Unfortunately, we couldn’t communicate," Badong sighed. "Anyway, let’s move on to the important topics as I’m sure even you’re getting impatient."

Veer nodded.

"It’s natural as the calamity is coming, after all," Badong said.

"How do you know?" Veer asked in surprise.

"Our Ancestors told us that there can only be two instances when outsiders can come here," Badong said. "One was either to loot us, and second if some calamity was coming."

He smiled and continued, "And you don’t seem to be the first case, so I guessed it was the second."

"I see. Your Ancestor was truly filled with wisdom. He was right and a deadly calamity is approaching," Veer said with a nod. "Can you tell us everything he said? It’ll be really helpful."

"I figured," Badong muttered, as he stood up. "Follow me."

He walked towards his right and put his palm over the wall. A golden glow covered his palm as the stone slowly shifted to the sides. "Come inside."

Veer nodded and dragged Elara inside the hole, while Brando and Sando didn’t follow. Elara noted that and asked, ’Are they planning something?’

Fortunately, they could communicate with each other mentally because of his Aspect. He didn’t show any reaction to her words, but answered mentally, ’Possible, so be prepared.’

They entered a dark tunnel and began to follow the chief whose body was glowing slightly. They continued to walk on the rugged terrain for a while and finally stopped after they reached an intersection.

Veer thought they would turn, but Badong just put his hand on the wall again, making it shift. Then, the same boring journey followed, where they had to walk behind the glowing Aethrym.

Fortunately, they didn’t have to take any more turns and finally got to the destination. Veer and Elara were full on guard, but a low, regal voice reached them, making them shiver.

"Do not worry, child."

However, that made them even more on guard as Veer almost summoned his sword. But he held himself back as he knew the voice was powerful.

Badong chuckled softly, as if he had noticed their predicament, and said, "Don’t worry. It’s just a natural reaction. Let’s go!"

He once again pushed the stone aside, and a bright light invaded the dark tunnel, blinding the duo. It took a few seconds before their eyes adjusted to the lighting.

Opening their eyes, they found themselves in a vast valley of lush grass. Fresh air assaulted their nostrils, along with a surge of mana invading their body. It was such a surreal sight and feeling. Discover hidden content at novelbuddy

But they didn’t let it overwhelm them as they focused their attention back on the chief. He had walked off, leaving them to see the scenery, so they quickly ran after him.

"Is this a Rune Formation?" Veer asked. "If you guys are so powerful, then why couldn’t you protect your town from the monsters?"

"Our Ancestor is powerful, not us," Badong answered.

Veer raised an eyebrow and thought, ’Is? So the Ancestor is alive? Isn’t that bad news?’

He wondered if he should just run away, but then again, even if the Ancestor didn’t pursue them, they had no way to escape the place.

Sighing, he told everything to Elara as they followed Badong. Fortunately, they didn’t have to walk long this time as they reached a small hill soon.

The hill was full of rocks and barren, making it look very out of place compared to the vast vegetation that grew around it. They circled around it and entered a short gap.

Walking inside, they found a bed made out of wood and leaves. On it, an old, withered corpse of an Aethrym lay, eyes closed and showing no signs of life.

’Is it the corpse of that Ancestor?’

"Indeed, it is!"

Veer was startled, as he backed off in fright along with Elara. Shocked, they looked at the corpse as an ethereal spirit came out of the corpse.

Badong quickly got on his knees and said, "Seventh Chief greets Ancestor Feng."

"It’s fine, Child. You don’t need to do that every time."

However, Badong continued to kneel even though the spirit had spoken. The Spirit of his Ancestor sighed and said:

"Fine! Get up now. We have important things to discuss, and my time is already running out."

Ancestor Feng, who resembled a strange mixture of white ethereal spirit and a ball, turned to look at the duo. Though it didn’t have eyes in the conventional sense, Veer could perceive the gaze.

’Damn it! I hate the Ancestor Trope the most,’ he cursed, but didn’t show much on his face. He just lowered his head and said, "Greetings, Ancestor Feng."

"Haha! You don’t need to do all these formalities, child of Elf. I sense the Ainsworth Bloodline in you, so are they still alive?"

Veer was surprised hearing that, as he had never expected his bloodline to be so Ancient. But then again, the Ainsworth did have one of the only False Gods, so it wasn’t that surprising.

"Yes, and we’re doing good, Elder," Veer answered politely. He didn’t want to offend this Ancient elder at any cost.

"Good! Also, what’s this other bloodline? Huh, why would your kin mate with them?"

Hearing the surprise in his tone, Veer grew confused and asked, "What do you mean, Elder? So many Elves have relationships with humans, so what’s surprising?"

"Because it isn’t a human bloodline. It’s a Demon Bloodline, and I know this nasty one. I will never forget it."
