Chapter 605: Nina and Linos Situation (2/2)
”There were no problems with your restaurant. But we had to take your other employees away. From the looks of it, their background is quite complicated.”
”Complicated?”
Krune looked at Bai, Jilin, and the others. Still, they all shook their heads, not knowing what was happening either.
”We found out that they are spies of the Three Peaks Sect, so we head to apprehend them. I hope you can stay here for the time being to help with the investigation.”
Krune's expression changed at that moment.
”Bullshit! When Nina was under the Divine Soul Realm, I had her use a blood contract. The contract stated that she should not lie to me. After that, I asked a few questions to guarantee her story was true. The blood contract disappeared right after, showing that she was not lying.”
”Nina and Lino are orphans, they have no parents to speak of. First of all, if they were spies, why didn't you come after me? I'm their employer and the restaurant's owner. Apprehending me should have been your very first action! Are you messing with me?”
The man shook his head.
”There was no need for that. We found no proof that you were involved in this incident. But the two of them were different.”
”How different? Didn't you hear what I said about the blood contract?”
The guard shrugged his shoulders and continued.
”Let's leave aside whether you really used a blood contract or not. After all, there is no way to prove that now. However, Nina and Lino's bloodline can not lie. There are descendants of the main lineage of the Three Peaks Sect Master, Agaran Dianol.”
”What?!”
Not only Krune, everyone else in the room was taken aback by those words.
”There must be a mistake there. How come two orphans who barely had something to eat during their early lives are descendants of the Three Peaks Sect Master? If that was true, they should have been receiving the highest treatment in their ancestor's sect. Be it cultivation resources, techniques, training, everything would have been several times better than even me. First of all, how do you even know that they have that sect master bloodline?”
The City Guard nodded and explained.
”First, I will need to tell you a little about their Sect Master.”
”The Three Peaks Sect Master isn't a human, but a Pure Blooded Earth-Dragon. However, he did marry a human in the end. Back then, the Three Peaks sect was, in fact, three different sects occupying the same region. As their territory increased, conflicts began to appear more and more. Unlike our Sky Shifting Sect or the Flower River Sect, those three sects were really near each other.”
”In the end, they noticed that if their conflict continued, they would all lose. Soon, their forces would be too debilitated to protect the three peaks. As you can imagine, the three peaks have very good Godly Energy Veins, so they would definitely be desired by other powers.”
Krune could more or less understand what happened after.
”So they formed an alliance and fused together, forming the Three Peaks Sect, right?”
The guard shook his head.
”Not really. The problem here would be the chain of command. Who between them would be the Sect Master? There was only one way to tie the sides together, which they believed to be marriage. However, how will you make a marriage between three forces? In the end, two peaks joined forces against the weakest one and absorbed it. As you can imagine, those two had a secret marriage between their two top descendants, Agaran and Okalia.”
”Today, Agaran is the sect master, while Okalia is his wife. As for the third peak descendants, most of the upper echelon was killed while the talented young ones were offered to join the two other peaks. Well, that's basically it. I believe you can guess the rest now.”
Krune couldn't help but ask.
”Are you telling me that Nina and Lino have Earth-Dragon bloodlines, and you used that to ascertain their identities?”
The man nodded.
”Correct.”
Krune found it strange.
”That doesn't make sense. They are complete humans. There are no Dragon Features in their bodies. As you know, intermarriage of humans and demon beasts will give birth to a mixed-race. Wait, could it be...”
Bai and the others got curious about Krune's sudden pause.
Krune then took a deep breath and continued.
”I see... This marriage between Agaran and Okalia happened thousands of years ago. No doubt their offsprings married as well. This intermarriage probably continued for several generations. The purity of the Earth Dragon's Bloodline dropped with each new offspring. Considering the pride of the Dragon Race, those mixed-blood offsprings were not allowed to marry other pure-blooded dragons. Agaran was only allowed to marry a human because it would bring a lot more benefits than problems.”
”In the end, the mixed dragon bloodline got more and more diluted as they married other humans. Obviously, their dragon features disappeared little by little until they didn't have enough dragon bloodline to show any dragon traces anymore. However, as diluted as the bloodline might be, it is still there. That should be more or less it, no?”
The guard nodded.
”Yes. Agaran has fought our Sky Shifting Sect Master several times in the past. Obviously, we got some of his blood because of that. We used it to create a piece of Godly Equipment that can detect anyone with his bloodline. To our surprise, we found some of them, and they were Nina and Lino that you talked about.”
Krune couldn't help but sigh. His intuition told him that the guard wasn't lying. However, he also knew that Nina and Lino didn't know about that either.
'What should I do?'
