Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 3 - Bloodline Inheritor 2

The ancient bloodline is a mysterious power bestowed upon fortunate persons by the ancient God. Once awakened, the inheritor will be able to pursue the path of becoming a true God. This ancient, holy blood can protect the inheritor until the blood is fully absorbed as a safety mechanism. The blood cleansed and strengthened the young, child's body. The lava somehow reached the height of the rock but the blood inside the child automatically formed a thick protective layer around him. Zack fell into a deep slumber after the blood absorption and the body enhancements.

Mr. Ferral entered the office of the guardian knight, Lockwood, panicked and anxious, "Lord knight, a huge meteor crashed on the outskirts of Maple City. It was only barren land but the damage is far greater than we anticipated. I fear the monsters might use this time of panic and unrest to attack."

Lockwood got up, "Assistant Ferral, gather as much men as you can and go inspect the area. I need to inform the city lord right away and organize an army to protect the city."

Mr. Ferral nodded and did as he was told. He gathered some of the city's most elite troops and made his way to the location of the crash site.

"Captain Norman, take your half of the team and inspect the surrounding area. Inform me if you spot anything unusual," Mr. Ferral ordered.

"Yes, my lord," Norman replied.

Ferral looked down at the area below the mountain, "We'll inspect down below." Mr. Ferral's abilities allowed him to fly so he took flight and began inspecting the area below the mountain.

Ferral's eyes widened as he saw the huge crater, "How devastating." He couldn't help but imagine the outcome if a city was hit by it instead.

A shiny object caught Ferral's eye, "What is that?" He flew towards the object at top speed.

As if no longer sensing danger, the protective layer around the child slowly disappeared.

Ferral's brows shot up in surprise and shock after seeing the small child sleeping soundly on a piece of rock, "Impossible."

Mr. Ferral scooped the child up in his arms, "How are you alive?"

He considered the boy's parents using life-saving treasures to protect him but they were often only owned by nobles and powerful organizations.

Captain Norman and his team joined Mr. Ferral's faction.

"Lord Ferral, we have inspected the area. The mountain took majority of the impact and the explosion got rid of most of the mid to low level monsters. Even the highly dangerous level 3 underground worms that occupied this area didn't survive the disaster," reported Norman.

Norman then noticed the baby in Ferral's arm, "Lord Ferral, who is that child? How is he here?" "I found him here among the rubble completely unharmed. His parents might have been nobles or very skilled adventurers with life-saving treasures, it's the only way I can think of as a way for this child to have survived," responded Ferral.

Ferral held the child against his chest, "Captain Norman, keep monitoring this area and report any anomalies right away. Lord Knight needs to be made aware of the situation," With that, he took flight and rushed to Lockwood's chamber.

Lockwood's gaze immediately fell on the child the minute Ferral entered, "I ordered you to inspect a meteor crash site and you return with a child? What is the meaning of this?" 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Ferral immediately reported on the findings of the child that laid asleep in his arms. Lord Knight looked closely at the child, "And the crash site?"

"We completely inspected the area, most of the monsters that inhabited the area including the level 3 underground worms were completely destroyed after the explosion. I've left my men to continue monitoring the area under Captain Norman's command."

Lockwood nodded in approval, his eyes still scrutinizing the sleeping infant, "Good." The baby released a small sneeze but still didn't wake up. "This child emits a very strong aura," commented Lockwood. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

He continued, "His future is bright, if he's trained properly he might even become a warrior worthy of reaching captain level and becoming a knight."
