160 Improve the bloodline? (1/2)

”But wouldn't that be risky for you?”

”Although there is some risk, do you know how long I have searched for someone with the right bloodline? Do you think people with dragon god bloodlines are common? It's fucking hard to find even a single one. And then you even have to find someone who is willing to make a deal with you. Do you even understand how stuck up those bastards are?”, Susan slowly talked herself into a rage. It seemed that she had truly suffered while searching.

They kept silent and let her rant.

”Sorry. Every time I think about it, I just get angry.”, Susan apologized after finishing her rant. ”So back to the topic.

If we have a contract then the risk is low and although helping you stabilize your bloodline will make me lose some of my power, it will be worth it in the end. And I can even recover it with hard work.”

”Then about the method?”, Celine asked. The only method she knew was the one mentioned in Ivan's quest and the ritual 'Bloodline Refining Furnace Ritual'.

”The easiest and most stable method is 'Inheritance', which is most likely the method you have been given. Then there are some rituals that can provide the same thing, by refining the bloodline. But both of these methods will only stabilize the bloodline. And although that makes it stronger it's not like it will improve the bloodline.”

”So your method will improve the bloodline?”

”No. But it not only stabilizes the bloodline but also fulfills another condition for activating parts of the bloodline.”

”Activating parts of the bloodline?”

”Yes. Dragons are one of the highest if not the highest race, so it is reasonable for them to have something that makes them stronger than other races. And since they are solitary, arrogant, and completely unwilling to work with other races, this something has to be themselves.

So that's why they have the ability to infuse traits from other bloodlines into theirs. I don't know how it works, but I know how to start the process.”

”That sounds kind of overpowered.”, Celine commented.

”It would be. But from what I have heard, there are severe restrictions on how many times it can be done.”

”Then wouldn't it be a disadvantage for Ivan to infuse traits from your bloodline? After all, if it was that good, then wouldn't some of the other dragons you have met accepted your offer?”, Celine asked suspiciously.

There was praise in Susan's eyes when she answered. ”Maybe. I don't know for sure why they rejected me. It could be that they don't value my bloodline that highly, or it could be that they just didn't need the traits contained in my bloodline.

But I know that he can use at least one of my traits, which is 'Spiritual'. If he infuses this into his bloodline, then it should stabilize and even gain its effect.”

”Still wouldn't it be better to use the ritual and then he could later find someone with a better bloodline?”, Celine didn't relent.

”Maybe. Maybe not. But how long will the ritual need for it to be effective? And are you even capable of activating it?”

Celine knew that she was right. Although it wasn't mentioned in the description of the ritual she was certain that they were currently unable to activate it. And worse, there was no direct mention of how effective it is.

”So your method works directly? And it works faster?”

”I think so.”, Susan seemed a bit unsure. ”As I already told you that I don't know how it works, but I talked with someone who offered her bloodline and she told me that it took about half a year. She also told me that she couldn't tell me about the process since it would be different for every pair, but the duration should always be around half a year to one year.”

”We will have to think about it.”, Ivan told her. He wanted to talk about it with Lara first.

”Alright. That's all I can ask for.”, Susan agreed. She didn't look dispirited. It seemed like she had already expected him to not directly agree. ”Then I'll leave the contract here so you can read it.”, she held out her hand with the contract, indicating for Ivan to take it, which he did.
