Chapter 20 Chapter: 020 Divine Blood (2/2)

A look of pride appearing on his face, Henry said in a clear voice, ”Son, our family had recieved this letter for several generations. Even scanning the entire Kingdom, I don't believe we can find a second letter like ours.” his voice contained an absolute pride.

”Have you heard of the legendary Four Supreme Empires and three Divine Academies?” Turning his head, Henry looked at Elijah.

With eyes brightening, he nodded. ”I know. According to the books i read before, the Four Supreme Empires are the Blindrvegr Empire, the Behemoth Empire, the Arctic Empire, and the Leviathan Empire. And the three Divine Academies are the Scarab Academy, the Aegis Academy and the Valhalla Academy.”

Satisfied, Henry nodded. Smiling, he said, ”Right! Now, I am going to tell you something. This letter was given to us by the headmaster of the Valhalla Academy. With this letter you can take the exam to enter the Valhalla Academy! and you know that a few times, a God come to our world and would leave behind a son or two.”

He continued.

”Our Family is dencendant of a God and this letter was given to one of our ancestors. The only reason our family did not use it after several generations was because, to enter one of the three Divine Academies, you must have been born with divine blood and from the recent generations our lineage has been thin to the point that no one could produce a drop of divine blood.”

Henry opened the box.

However, we still have hope. Perhaps in the future, one of our descendants will have divine blood in their veins, and meet the requirements to become a use this letter. If they meet this requirements, after just a few decades of training, they would be able to become a true, full Demigod. And at that time, our family's glory would once more be restored to the past days, when we were known as a Demigod Family!” Henry's eyes shone. ”Son, you are nearly ten years old now and i want to test if you can conceive Divine Blood.

Elijah was astonished. ”Test me?”

He fully understood the implications of his father performing this test. This test would show whether or not he could produce divine blood.

What he did not know was that his father was doing all this to send him away not to participate in the war and if the worst happened, he would not die.

From the box he took a potion bottle and a needle.

”Aaah!”

Elijah drinked the potion and let out a cry as he fell to the ground.

”Son, calm down and try to meditate.”

Elijah nodded as he sat on the floor and began to meditate trying to feel the pain in his body.

After several minutes the pain stoped.

”Hold on.”

Holding the needle on his right hand, Henry lightly pricked his son's finger with it, piercing the skin.

Elijah felt pain as the needle was expelled away falling on the floor as a silver drop of blood flowed down from his finger, giving a extremely powerful pressure.

Seeing this drop of blood, all his worries disappeared as he placed the letter in Elijah's bosom and hugged him.

”Son, go to your sister and tell her that you passed the test. In a few days, find some people to take you there.”

”Yes father.” Elijah turned and walked away feeling exultant to hear his father's voice.

”And son, I'm proud of you.”
