Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 151: Chapter 151 - Getting more people to join the revenge plan

I honestly had a lot of fun talking to the elders and it was really easy to lose track of time with all the important topics that we needed to discuss and update each other about. A lot has happened since the kingdom of Eieneos has closed its doors to the world so I understand the excitement of the elders about finally having someone from their master’s family appear and start to lead and support them again in terms of knowledge and finances. Having these talks with them really eased my irritation about being stalked like I would do something evil any time in their territory by a huge percentage. But, I am not saying that I won’t get irritated if they continue doing it.

It was also comforting to know that I can fully trust them simply due to a special item that is only provided to all the chosen members of Noir by the original rulers of my kingdom. Unlike the usual wooden plank that were issued to all the other human males in this world to complete resonance matches and soul links, the plank being provided to the male members of Noir was quite unique. It was a proof that they were specially chosen by my ancestors, a symbol of a promise of support and loyalty between the two factions and at the same time it was a symbol of my kingdom’s concern for their well-being for the next generations to come.

At a glance, one might think that the only difference would be the higher quality of the wood, maybe a different color to the wood or deeper shade of the wood grains used but if a person who is talented in magic or mana manipulation will look into it closer, he or she will notice that the spells imbued to it were more intricate and balanced. One of the first features I noticed was the protection against resonance backlash. Though the enchantment can’t fully negate it, in case of rejection, it was reduced by almost 70% and as for when the resonance was accepted by the female, the male will receive blessings based on the females highest ranked talents. The more talented the female is, the more benefits the male would have and if the couple luckily will bear an offspring, the child will definitely inherit the best attributes of both parents.

If you use me as an example, if I take in a guy from Noir as my lover, he would surely get blessings for his mana, physical strength and vitality attributes (health and longevity in particular) for sure since those are my three highest ranked talents. Heck, even if he doesn’t have talent in magic, he may start to be able to wield it. It was similar to how Ioannis was after deification.

The planks also have a defensive feature that protects males so that they would be safe from being taken by force or being physically hurt by any female as well as give them something akin to a shield to protect them from any three deadly attacks by first shielding the man then teleporting them back to the headquarters to save their lives. By far though, I think the best feature from the list was that this item makes all men chosen as children of Noir and were duly provided the special wooden identity planks unconditionally loyal to the members of the Rosenoir bloodline thus they are the best allies for a newbie without a backer like me. Still, I belive that they rank below my soul linked companions in terms of loyalty and trust, of course. That’s normal though, given that we have only met so far and have not worked together for any goal or task. I am not in a hurry though. We can just build the trust carefully between Noir and me.

Once all the elders have said their pieces from their youth and their glorious and victorious battle stories, it was time to tell my side of the story based on the missions that were assigned to me in this world. I had to start by telling them where I was from (earth) and what my life was like (totally a normal human) before I was summoned here. I told them my real age (26 years old) even if I am currently in a 17-year-old body. I then told them about the main things that I have to accomplish to complete my missions which were to rebuild the kingdom of Eieneos and also make sure the Rosenoir bloodline doesn’t end with me. As for the other specific details, I decided to keep it to myself since those were ones I personally decided to do. I also gave them the real reason about why I suddenly arrived in Sklavryet without advising them about it which was basically due to my 2-month immersion class for the Academe of Gnosis where I was supposed to disguise myself as a regular person who came in for work. Another reason was that I am aiming to be chosen as one of the VIP visitors for the upcoming annual event in the territory of the heralds and elves which will happen in a few weeks. As for my reason in visiting the territory of the traitors, I simply gave them a smile that does not reach my eyes as my answer. When they saw my facial expression, they chose not to ask further about what I plan to do there.

The next things I discussed were the things I needed assistance with as of the moment. I readily asked them for help on several things as I treat them as my allies now. This is by far the first time I felt quite lucky for something that my ancestors have left for me. It was not just a person but a whole organization that can serve as my backing and somewhat, my extended family in this world. First, I want them to keep my identity and only release information that the elves and heralds will not find suspicious so I can inflitrate their territory. If needed, I want them to create a background of a commoner worker for me. Second, I requested for the organization to stop sending stalkers after me and my companion. Instead, I only want to keep two for Lark’s protection at all times. As for me, I don’t need protection but if needed, one can be assigned to me to ensure the illusion that I was just like any other of the female workers under probation. Lastly, I told them to treat me like a normal contracted worker whenever they see me outside the headquarters. I also gave them a list of the jobs that I am planning to take so that they would know which places I will be everyday and if possible avoid these places. They told me readily that they will help me in any way they possible can and to ensure that I will get chosen as one of the visitor allowed into Freyheimr. They promised to only let very few high ranking people in the organization know about my identity and follow the rest of my requests and instructions to the tee. It is really feels light talking to intelligent people.

The elders suddenly called in two individuals that they said will be best fit to be my personal guards during my stay in Sklavryet. They will be my exclusive tails but instead of simply observing, they will keep me safe as well as my companion. After some secret communication method happened, two individuals suddenly appeared behind King. He then introduced them as Onyx and Morion. I quickly looked at both of the assigned guards and they seem to be only in their early 20s. When I looked a little longer on Onyx face, I can’t help but find him familiar. I then suddenly remembered seeing him before so I stared at him for several seconds more to confirm my memory. He is bound to crack if I silently stare at him. I saw his discomfort the more I stared at him. I then smirked at him and I saw his eyes widen and he seemed to be debating between just leaving the room or something else. I then spoke, ”What are the odds that you will be assigned as my observer again, Onyx?” I saw his face get paler by the second. He then suddenly kneeled and bowed his head and spoke in a very respectful tone, ”Your highness, please forgive me for my previous offense. It was my mission to find the identity of the new master. I was indeed assigned to you but there were others assigned to the other summoned women as well.” I told him to stand up and that I wasn’t offended. I smiled and told him that it was just funny how I tried so hard to ignore his presence all the time though I know that he was observing me most of the time. I ordered both of them to stop kneeling or else, the fact that I was hiding my identity would become a joke. They both nodded in understanding and promised to stay hidden unless I called for them or the situation calls for it. I smiled at them and then continued my talks with the elders. The elders told me that there maybe a change of the guards assigned to me every two days but he assured me that they will all be of the highest rank just like Onyx and Morion. I just nodded and accepted their arrangements.

When we were done with all the planning for my mission and the territory, I saw the sun already rising. My gosh! I stayed here for more than 6 hours with all the talks and storytelling?! I think I really need to go back to the inn before Lark wakes up since I did not tell him I had plans to leave in the middle of the night. Well, my plan was busted when they invited me for breakfast since they prepared a feast for me. I ate quickly and teleported back to our room at the inn and simply told Onyx and Morion to follow me in their own pace.
