Obtaining Legendray Dragon Template At The Start As A Side-Character!-Chapter 24: Purity Of Bloodline I

Reinh looked around him. Neat lines of people were standing inside a large hall, and he could clearly feel the stress and anxiety on the faces of many young people beside him.

’Isn’t it just blood? Why do these stupid humans look so scared’ Arceus, who was sitting on his shoulders, looked around with mockery.

From his point of view, the worries of these small humans over something as stupid as blood were completely ridiculous, so ridiculous that he could barely stop himself from mocking them.

’Bloodline purity does not completely decide their future potential,’ Reinh replied indifferently.

’But the higher it is, the better their future will be. It also means they will receive more attention in the early stages. And of course, it means they are truly Vorhelm.’

In a clan system like the Vorhelm Clan, bloodline purity is extremely important. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, bloodline purity is a genetic and random matter.

If a Vorhelm marries a commoner or someone with a weak and ordinary bloodline, the child has a very high chance of having extremely low purity.

This is because during the formation of the fetus, the body can more easily accept and endure the ordinary bloodline. As a result, the ordinary bloodline becomes dominant.

However, if both parents, father and mother, possess powerful bloodlines, then the Vorhelm bloodline will dominate. This is because of the structure of the two bloodlines.

Powerful bloodlines exist on higher existential levels, and both sides fight to become dominant.

The winning bloodline becomes dominant, and the newly formed fetus, no matter how difficult it is, is forced to accept the stronger bloodline. Unlike the previous case, it has no choice.

Across the entire world, among many races, the number of bloodlines that can compete with the Vorhelms is less than the fingers of both hands.

Because of this, when a Vorhelm marries someone with a powerful bloodline, the child will, in most cases, possess a high-purity Vorhelm bloodline, unless they are unlucky, which rarely happens.

In such the level of bloodline purity depends on how much the Vorhelm bloodline can suppress the other one.

The purest form of a bloodline occurs when both parents, father and mother, are Vorhelm. Even then, impurities still exist. After all, some ancestors may have been mixed, and genes are inherited.

The purest bloodlines are always inherited from the Patriarch’s lineage, and all of his children have high purity, except Reinh. He is an exception.

His mother was a commoner, or at least that is what he knows. Because of this, he possesses an extremely low bloodline purity. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The lines were very long, and he was one of the last people. He looked ahead and saw a pool filled with blood.

Above the pool, a blade was hanging.

’Still stupid’ Arceus snorted. He disliked the systems of humans. In general, he did not like humans at all.

’But according to what I heard, blood is also important for you dragons, right?’ Reinh asked indifferently. His tone made it sound like the answer did not matter to him at all.

"..."

Arceus fell silent for a moment, unsure what to say.

’Blood is important to us dragons’ he finally said.

’But not to the point where it defines our status and rank. Dragons are born with one hundred percent purity. All reproduction is within the same species. One dragon species cannot reproduce with another. For us, pure power is more important than anything else.’

Reinh nodded. For some reason, he felt that the barbarians might have been misunderstood.

After all, dragons seemed even more obsessed with power than barbarians.

"You’re that kid, right? The Patriarch’s illegitimate son?" Suddenly, a boy’s voice came from behind him. Reinh slowly turned his head.

He saw a boy around his own age, with the same facial traits shared by all Vorhelms. However, he was clearly overweight.

"And you are?" Reinh asked emotionlessly, trying to remember who the boy was.

"Wow, aren’t you a bit too tall? Are you really twelve? I guess even if you’re a bastard, you’re still the Patriarch’s son! Looks like you’re going to become a giant like him."

"Oh right! I’m Aron," the chubby boy introduced himself with a stupid smile.

Although his words sounded slightly insulting, Reinh felt no bad intentions. As soon as he heard the name, he recognized him.

Aron Vorhelm, heir of one of the clan’s branch families, mainly involved in industry and mining. They could be considered the main merchants of the clan.

In the future, Aron would become a very famous figure. He would greatly increase his family’s wealth, and many even believed his lineage might reach the level of the main one in terms of wealth

At least, until he was later framed as a traitor and spy by the future Crown Heir of the clan and executed.

"Nice to meet you," Reinh said. None of this mattered to him. The deaths of others were irrelevant, and saving people was never one of his goals.

He turned his head back and focused forward.

"Hey, hey, don’t ignore me! I’m not like the others who want to humiliate you! Actually, it’s the opposite. I think you’re a treasure! A treasure worth investing in!"

"What do you say? Want to work for me--cough, cough, I mean, want to be my friend?" Aron clearly had no intention of leaving him alone.

’This human is too noisy. How about killing him?’ Arceus said irritably.

Reinh ignored both of them and focused even more on the front. The person in charge of the test finally appeared.

A beautiful and very tall woman, with a smiling face but cold eyes and seductive lips. Her long hair was tied back, and a massive sword’ almost as large as her body’ hung in its sheath from her slim waist. She calmly walked past them and stopped in front of all the lines.

Her suppressive and suffocating aura alone was enough to silence everyone present.

"Why is she here?" Reinh frowned slightly.
