339 Chapter 333 : : Vroooom (1/2)
The benefits that they can earn inside the kingdom were above the royal prince and princess of the kingdom. But those who had built the kingdom themselves, how could they be moved by such things?
They all lived freely in their time, sharping their skills, traveling from one place to another to learn and discover new things, they had no interest in status or entering politics, but would their decedents and inheritors be the same?
A lion's son can be a lion but it cannot copy the temperament of the king at birth. An inborn King? It's just a phrase used to hide the incompetence of a prince who became the king because of the bloodline.
Not all the venerable left behind descendant, but the title would be passed down, the 12 Venerable left behind 12 inheritance ground in Davalon and also at other places those who cleared the trials got their card, the card was the chance for the inheritor to inheriting the venerable' signature technique and if they succeed in inheriting their signature technique then they would become the next venerable. After becoming venerable, their family and many more people started using this title to earn status, make connections… for benefits, for fulfilling their desires.
As a result, the families of those inheritors turned into big clans that claimed to be direct and qualified inheritors of the venerable. Once someone had given in to their desires and tasted the feeling they cannot stop, so those families started to train their younger generation in a way that they could master the artifact refining techniques in a particular way that could help them inherit the venerable' title again later on and their clan could keep the status.
But there were still not 12 clans when there were 12 Venerable because the trial left behind by some of them for inheriting the title was too hard and strange for the inheritor candidates to solve. Their hardness level was so high that people started to doubt if those venerable were even willing to pass down their titles.
One of those venerable was… Alfred D Wolford.
His trial is now seen as a joke. Till today not a single one had succeeded in passing his trial ground much less succeeding his signature technique.
With time people eventually gave up on trying to inherit his title.
Then one day, which is today, someone comes to Davalon with the card of Venerable Wolford that can also serve as the proof of passing the trail and use it as an Identity Proof to enter the underground city.
The old dwarf couldn't put what he was feeling in words.
He felt like the whole kingdom was being thoroughly insulted by the young man in front of him.
The other dwarves were also stunned.
Rex turned and looked at them in confusion, he was feeling a little embarrassed from all the gazes directed at him.
[Dwarves don't have any interest in males, do they?]
The second he heard these words, Rex inwardly shivered.
”You people, what are staring at. Listen you guys I am a married man who loves his wife- wives and I also have a mischievous five-headed kid, moreover, I don't have any interest in males, so remove those dirty thoughts from your minds. And yeah, I verified it right? So I am going in, don't try to stop me,” Rex said in a loud tone, he then took out a bag filled with spirit stones, placed it on the side then dashed inside the igloo.
Everyone's face became dark.
Especially, the old dwarf, if it was before he would have taken out his shoe and throw it at Rex's face but things were different now.
He took a deep breath then scanned through all the peoples in the surrounding.
”No one will spread what has transpired here today, understood?” The dwarf shouted.
”Understood!” All the guards shouted in unison.
The old dwarf saw them following his orders but was hesitant inside, he knew that although they were his trained men, it won't be surprising if there were one or two moles hidden within them.
After a moment of thought, he took out a wooden talisman and sent a message.
He then ordered all the guards to go into seclusion immediately and not to come out until they are told to, after doing that much he ran into the igloo to follow Rex.
When Rex entered the igloo, he found a tunnel going downwards. He dashed forward and soon came to a hemispherical room, the room was also made of crystals, the surroundings were visible due to the dim light emitted by the crystal walls.
A transmission array platform was present at the center of the room.
It was an advanced version of the transmission array created by dwarves that can be used without having to load it with spirit stones every time after the use.
Rex stepped on the platform and the array below his feet shined, just at this time Rex looked at the tunnel and saw the old man running towards him.
'They still haven't given up? Do I have to resort to Mind Control after all?' Rex thought.
”Friend wait!” The old dwarf shouted and waved his hand at Rex.
Rex almost jumped back in fright.
'Friend? What medicine he had eaten in the morning? Or is it because of the card?' Rex thought.
The old dwarf came to Rex and stood on the platform with him. The array had already started so before Rex could speak, they both disappeared from their place and appeared in the Underground Vrusallon.
Rex opened his eyes and looked around, he was standing on the transmission array platform near a wall, he scanned his surrounding and realized that he was inside a stadium-like place, it was an oval-shaped area but was tens of times bigger than a stadium.
There were also several gigantic tunnel entrances around the edge having equal distance from the adjacent ones. They were for entering and exiting this area.
Rex then thought of something, it was an underground city so how was there daylight here, he looked up.
