48 Alive (1/2)
The small black wooden box was very light, its edges were covered with inscriptions that should be what Liann called the bloodline seal.
”...?”
There was no lock or hole for opening the wooden box, so Rainer made a small cut on his finger and spilled a drop of blood on the wooden box.
Tac!
The sound of a lock being unlocked could be heard in the quiet room.
The unintelligible designs on the box glowed before they magically disappeared.
After opening the box, there was a seal inside it!
The seal emitted an aura of dignity and strength that showed it was not a simple trinket, its craftsmanship was reminiscent of an Emperor!
The seal represented the head of a demon with ram's horns, in its eyes, two flames shone brightly.
Behind the seal was written an inscription...
”Only through fear a man is respected!”-Veritas Shamon.
”It seems that this is the seal that accredits the status of Demon King, it is natural for my mother to have it, but what is this doing here?”Asked Rainer without expecting an answer.
After checking the box again, Rainer found a small paper note.
The letter showed that whoever had written it, was in a hurry. It was just a couple of sentences, but it didn't leave Rainer indifferent!
...
My son, I don't know if you will read this.We can only apologise to you for being bad parents and abandoning you in spite of your young age.If my sister Liann has given you this box, follow her until you become stronger and you can call yourself a man.
Your father and I are sorry we can't say more, we are out of time, as a mother I don't think I can stand not seeing you grow up!
Lastly, I have put a seal on the Demon King's medallion, when you are strong enough, you will be able to open it and discover the truth, if the flames in its eyes fade... don't look for us...
We love you, Mom and Dad...
...
Rainer was glad, he always thought about the possibility of his parents being alive, and now he had the proof that confirmed it!
Although he was abandoned as a child, Rainer knew there must have been some significant reason behind their actions, or they wouldn't have bothered to prepare this case!
The vague figures of his father and mother hugging him when he was a baby were still engraved on fire in his mind, they were some of the few people who showed him love since he reincarnated.
”Unfortunately, I still don't meet the requirements to find my parents...the life of a cultivator is very long, as longer as I continue training, I will find them someday and show them what I have become!”Said Rainer while he contained his tears, he didn't know why but he wanted to grieve desolately.
Knock...knock...
Fortunately, the noise from the door brought Rainer back to reality and he calmed down after a few moments.
”...!”
When Rainer opened the door, he didn't expect to find that man with the eye patch!
