68 The Past, Present, and the Future. (2/2)
”Ken you should tell your story” Don turned his gaze towards the kneeling Ken and said.
”I am Ken…...”
After a long explanation and answer to both of their questions, Ken saw the two geniuses of this time period started to believe him.
”So the shaking and energy beam appeared earlier were you stepping out of the time barrier huh” Benedict said after a long pause.
”What were you two doing?” Don couldn't help but ask as Arya pointed her fingers at the energy convertor.
”We were modifying and doing some improvements to the convertor and thought someone activated the teleporting array”
”You three should work together from now on the man who built the time machine will certainly be a help for you” At first when Benedict heard Don he wanted to disagree but the moment he heard the time machine part Benedict nodded his head without any disagreement.
However, Don could see Ken is trying to disagree but couldn't speak before him.
”Ken I know you have some theories and rules about revealing our futures and I agree with that”
Don knew for example if Ken would have said Amaryll will be a heavenly level magi in the future the Elf wouldn't even take a step into the training hall thinking she will get to the heavenly level anyway and ultimately fail.
”But other than that we must use your skills and what you know to our advantage, think about it just your existence in this present have already affected the future”
Even though Don was not an expert in time-traveling Ken understood the logic behind his words.
”I will do my best to help you, my King” as he said he tried to kneel again before Don but stopped by Don in a middle way
”You don't have to always kneel Ken, keep your respect and loyalty in your heart and show them through your works” Don patted the old man's shoulder and turned to walk away
”Where's Reghys by the way?”
”Probably roaming around the forest” Arya said as Ken's eyes again opened wide thinking he's about to meet the first Protector of Dragons in real life.
”So the convertor's name is Apex huh?” Seeing Don's figure disappearing Arya asked Ken.
”Yes yes Lady Arya but you can name whatever you want if you didn't like it” Ken awkwardly said as he didn't know whether to kneel or stand straight and seeing this made Arya giggle a little
”Just call me Arya no offense but you should be my grandpa's age and you are calling me lady making me feel old and weird” Ken couldn't help but seeing his granddaughter Maya's resemblance in Arya as he let out a small happy smile
”And you agreed with him to not tell us about our futures?”
Hearing everything happened when he met Arya and Benedict with Ken, Knight questioned Don.
”At least let me ask him what happened to us in the future Don”
Don knew the real meaning of Knight's question by looking at his face. When they were in the divine continent Knight always dreamed and talked about reaching the highest level in cultivation and turn into an immortal or even enter the godhood but after hearing Ken's story Knight seemed a little disappointed and a little sad.
”Don't worry my brother what matters is the future, the future now we are going to build not the future Ken came from and what's the matter? if we die we die that's it what's matter is what we leave behind hearing Ken I say we left behind a legacy and an empire”
As Don said Knight gave him a wry smile
”Yeah also an incompetent Decedent can you believe your descended was huh will be a peace-loving guy I mean how much chaos we created in the divine continent back in the day”
Even Don sighed when he heard his descendent was turned out to be a peace-loving guy who almost destroyed everything he and his bloodline built
”This time I will make sure this kingdom will be always ruled by someone worthy but enough of this future talks, Cat” as Don said Catalie's projection appeared before him but her usual smile was replaced by a gloomy sad expression
”Cat are you worried about what Ken said?” Don asked and saw Catalie slowly nodding her little head
”Remember one thing Cat, if you worry about the day of death the days to live will turn into hell”
Hearing Don Catalie tried to hide her worry and let out a small smile
”And besides I'm right here aren't I? I'll make sure that clown calling herself queen regret crossing my path ”
