Chapter 287: Bloodline Inheritance (2/2)
Rumru's words silenced the Flaming Lion as the latter lowered his head while gritting his teeth.
”Your heads and your people's heads are just trophies for the adventurers, and you and your people's existences are condemned by churches. You have been hunted by humans and they forced you to hide, but you never changed even after all of this! You are just going to repeat your father's path if you keep looking down on your opponents,” The old man shook his head.
”Just like my head, it could be considered as the biggest trophy for the human, but I never lost my head for thousands of years because I always respect all my opponents, and always go all out to right them. But of course, I have a few reckless moments, but you have to learn from those moments and live on!”
The Dragon seemed to want to continue but he shook his head again.
”Let's not talk about your father or what path you will choose, everything is in your hand. Just telling you that besides my selfish vengeance, it is because I want you and your tribe to thrive, and I have seen the potential where this man will even surpass me hence I asked you to follow him. I guess that's it, my last wish for you is to destroy Waskin City, I can't ask you more than that.”
”My Lord!” The four beastmen were alarmed when they heard the last part. Last wish which meant their King would die soon, the four immediately grasped the situation.
”Yes, this will be our last meeting. My time is coming…” the old man closed his eyes as a gentle smile formed on his lips.
The four beastmen were beyond shocked since it came too sudden. They had prepared for this, just not expecting it would come this soon, ”You will be free after the city is destroyed…”
Rumru opened his eyes and walked toward the four beastmen. He squatted next to Jacky and hugged the frozen monkey, ”Make the decision and live with it, may your wisdom bring you to your rightful place,” the old man stroked the monkey's fur.
The Dragon then hugged Frost and Wen, he repeated the same words for them too. The last was Kairu, the old man hugged the Flaming Lion, ”Make the decision and live with it, and may your strength, your experiences, your wisdom bring you to your rightful place.”
After the parting words, the old man returned to his original spot, ”Now, can you leave me and Tang Shaoyang?”
The four beastmen kneeled, the four seemed to have something to say but no words came from them. They kneeled and showed their last respect before finally, they left the crystal cave with no words.
”Quite emotional for beasts, right?” The old man suddenly turned toward Tang Shaoyang and read his thoughts aloud.
”Do you have a skill like [Mind Reading] or something similar? How can you read my mind?” Tang Shaoyang blurted out.
”You will learn it if you can live for thousands of years like me,” the old man grinned as it seemed he had picked the grin habit from Tang Shaoyang.
Tang Shaoyang shrugged while glancing at the four beastmen's back, ”Are you sure this is enough for the parting? Why don't you spend a day or more, it's not like we are in a hurry.”
”I may treat them as a kid, but they are not. Moreover, they have to face this eventually, the sooner the better so they can sever the attachment with me quicker too. Rather than that…” The Dragon scanned the man from the top to bottom, ”Are you ready for the Bloodline Inheritance?”
”Of course, I am, anytime,” Tang Shaoyang nodded without hesitation.
”You don't want to inform your people? The ritual itself only takes one to two hours, but the latter party is riskier. Because your body just will not accept the new heart, your body will resist the foreign component, especially your mana whirlpool, that's why the process is beyond painful. There's a chance you will die, but you will be fine since I will help you. As for how long your body will accept the Dragon's heart, it may take a day or even a week, and it could be a month. Everything depends on you!” Rumru summarised the whole process.
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, he felt the Dragon underestimated him, ”As I say, I am ready anytime. The question should be asked for yourself, are you ready to end your life?”
The old man grinned ear to ear when he heard that, ”I want to see your pained expression later, that may be the last bliss of my long life. Since you are ready, let's start the Bloodline Inheritance then.”
