The Absolute beast Tamer-Chapter 41: SECRET REALM

Everyone gathered inside the guest room with Alan facing the family of three.

Mason: "Alan, let me introduce my wife, Rosaline, and you have already met my daughter, Lana. We are happy to have you here in our home."

Rosaline: "It is nice to meet you. I can’t thank you enough for saving my husband and my daughter. The weight of your actions cannot be thanked by word."

Alan: "Please raise your head. As I told Sir Mason, before I only did what I thought I could; I even told him that if I found the enemy much stronger than me, I would have no choice but to abandon them."

Mason: "And I told you before that knowing when to pick a fight is the absolute quality for a survivor; still, you are only a fourth stage who went up against multiple sixth stage beastmasters and even fought a 7th to stage one. Such feats are only reserved for prodigies.

Rosaline: "When my husband told me that he was saved by a teenager, I thought he was joking, but now that I see you, I finally get it."

With a warm smile on her face, Rosaline expressed her gratitude.

Looking at the couple in front of him, he did not feel any malice, but he could not help but keep his guard up.

Alan: "Thank you for the invitation today. I am relieved to see you both fine, but on the phone you said that you had something to discuss with me face to face that made me curious. Could you elaborate?"

Mason: "I said I wanted to thank you, and of course my wife wanted to see our benefactor, but I believe in actions more than words. Do you know why I was hunted down on my last expedition? Have you asked yourself why they targeted me in the first place?"

Alan: "I always like to keep to myself, so asking about such circumstances would be an invasion of privacy on my end."

Rosaline: "How old are you, Alan? You are so level-headed, just like a person who has been in society for many years.

Alan: "I’m 16 right now; being careful and staying low-key is always the best means of survival."

Mason: "You are indeed built different. Actually, I called you here today to talk face to face about the reason I was hunted. Can you take a look at this encrypted metal card?"

Mason presented a metal card encrypted with glyphs and runes, putting it on the table.

Taking the card into his hand, he immediately activated his talent.

Item: [Jewel of the spider key]

Class: [6th]

Description: [This is the key for the secret realm named Jewel of the Spider. The key can be used by three individuals every lunar year to gain access to the secret realm.]

Alan’s eyes widen in shock as he has heard a lot about secret realms, how dangerous but full of opportunities they are, although there are many that are open to the public.

But the truly good ones are always reserved for noble clans, giant corporations, or federation agencies.

Alan: "Sir Mason, can you please elaborate?"

Keeping his guard up, he did not disclose his knowledge about this key.

Mason: "Alan, during my last expedition, I found this item and went into a horrible fight that left me injured; otherwise those lunatics would not have dared to do what they did.

I know this item was special, as I can feel a slight fluctuation of Ena inside; before those lunatics showed up, I actually found out an entrance to the secret realm, and this item was found on the outside of the cave that I thought was the entrance. I tried to go in, but I was denied entry, probably due to my high level.

I looked for information discreetly; I found out that no one knows about this realm. It was actually an undiscovered new secret realm, so you can imagine my surprise and understand why those lunatics dared to attack."

Alan pretended to be surprised as he looked seriously at Mason.

Mason: " For an undiscovered secret realm, although the danger metrics are high, the rewards and benefits that can be obtained are unimaginable. You must have heard some stories about people who chanced upon secret realms, completely changing their destiny, transforming from your average Joe to dragons among men.

That’s why I wanted my daughter to enter the realm first, and I wanted to thank you for saving both our lives. I know it’s dangerous, but it is my way of conveying my gratitude. Yet at the same time, I’m asking you for a favor: to enter the secret realm with my daughter and keep her safe.

Rosaline: "We wanted to thank you, yet here we are shamelessly asking you to protect our daughter. We deeply apologize, and if you found it too dangerous, you are free to refuse."

Alan: "Please, both of you, raise your heads. I fully know how valuable this key is, and many would die to get this opportunity, but I have two questions for you.

The first is how can you trust someone you barely met?You don’t know me.

The second is what if I told you that if I made the decision between saving myself and saving your daughter, I would 100% choose to save myself; would you regret telling me about this realm?

Mason: "You have already saved our lives. If you did have any nefarious intentions, why not just kill me and my daughter in the woods and take everything valuable we have? After seeing you today, I believe that we all trust you enough. Don’t you think so, honey?"

Rosaline: " Indeed, I was against telling you about this secret realm as it could invite a disaster upon us all, but seeing you, Alan, had changed my mind; you are even much better than my husband described you to be.

As for your second question, from the moment someone becomes a beast tamer, that means they become warriors for the federation. When a warrior dies, he can only blame his weakness and bad luck, and if you find yourself in mortal danger where you can escape alone, then by all means do it, although we are asking you to protect her. We don’t have any information about this secret realm, so you can only do what you can.

She’s my precious daughter. Of course I want her to be protected, but I can’t be shameless enough to ask you to give your life for hers.

But there’s something inside me that’s telling me that if you decided to protect her, you would probably fight for her until the last drop of blood in your veins dried."

Taking a look at the couple who gave him a sincere answer, he could not help but look up to them as they truly understood the dangers of becoming a beast tamer. Even if the person involved was their daughter, they knew the risk and were still willing to take it. That can only show you how precious the opportunity to chance upon an undiscovered secret realm is.

Alan: "I understand if this is the case, then I can only promise you that I will protect her with everything I’ve got but not at the expense of my life, and I thank you for this huge opportunity."

Mason: "I knew you would agree. The secret realm probably has restrictions; that’s why I couldn’t go in, so I don’t think that you will find a high-class beast inside, and with your ability to fight multiple sixth-stage beasts, your safety is almost guaranteed, but you can never be sure with secret realms, so you have to be careful all the time."

Rosaline looked Alan in the eyes before bowing her head down.

Rosaline: "Alan, please take care of my daughter and yourself."

Alan: "I will, to the best of my ability, please raise your head. I can see how much concern you have for your daughter, and I have a mother too."

Lana: "Ahem, the serious talk is over. Sir Alan, would you like me to take you on a tour around the house?"

With the stars in her eyes, Lana asked to take Alan on a tour; Alan was also interested in the many facilities inside this huge palace.

Alan: "Then please allow me to take you up on your offer. I saw so many interesting facilities around the estate, and I would love to see them up close."

Mason: "We will depart tomorrow to the location of the secret realm, so please relax and enjoy your time. We are having a feast tonight."

Watching Alan and Lana walking away, Rosaline looked at her husband, who looked at her at the same time.

Rosaline: "I still can’t believe it; a 16-year-old with no background to speak of is actually a fourth-stage beast tamer, and he saved your lives."

Mason: "I told you that kid was different; from the moment I saw him decisively killing those lunatics, his careful execution, precise attack, and courage to fight those who are two stages higher than him. And such a young prodigy is actually in a small town undiscovered. Honey, what do you think of him?

Rosaline: "Although you did not want me to look up his background, how can I not do it when you are planning to trust him with our daughter’s life, a young boy from a single family of a mother and sister who lived in poverty until recently? When he awakened, he worked to change everything around him, from becoming an appraising master to actually making enough wealth to fund his own cultivation. His intelligence is very high, and he’s very cautious because, till this moment, he did not truly open up to us.

But I can’t blame him for that, as he found himself dealing with a high-class beast tamer who was capable of hurting him.

The feat of reaching the fourth stage less than 6 months after his awakening, and the spatial beast and talent that he got, is something absurd.

With no resources or background, he managed to reach such a stage alone, funding himself; such a boy is more terrifying than anything.

He cares a lot about his family, which is a very good point. He can be cold and ruthless, but the moment he’s in the house, he’s warm and sunny.

Frankly, if he was a seasoned warrior, I would not have found it strange, but he’s capable of balancing to such extremes in his personality, which is almost bipolar; this is actually the most terrifying aspect of him, not his demonic talent.

All in all, I can only say that you found the best protector for our daughter on the trip to the secret room."

Mason nodded his head as he agreed with his wife’s opinion about Alan.

Mason: "He’s someone you want as a friend, not an enemy. Plus, I think our precious daughter has entered the spring season. Didn’t you always say that you wanted a boy?"

Rosaline: "I saw how she looked at him. Let’s just leave these things to the youngsters. And I wanted the baby boy, but my husband is too busy to appreciate his wife."

Mason, who wanted to tease his wife but was teased in return, actually blushed.
