Whatever the reason behind this happening was, I still quite far from understanding it, but one thing was certain, there must be a reason behind Lido not fixing this for me, the letters on the page of paper in front of me was smaller in size, but they were still readable, I was able to comprehend enough to know that this was indeed a letter of warning .
I might be able to reverse it back and make it readable again, if I'm not wrong, this was actually an authentic human Battle Aura training method, one that was suitable for the human race, or more accurate to say, one stolen from the human race .
And if I'm not overthinking it a bit much, this method was being frowned upon by both the Demons and the Humans in the Real World, the Northern Devouring Star, what kind of method was it .
Since the Demons haven't developed a similar method and assimilated this one too in their arsenal and just left it like that, not to mention leaving the method alone and even keeping the warning in it, then there must be something special and quite dangerous regarding this method .
I might have been slightly interested in it before because of the warning and Lido not fixing its words for me, but now I'm fully invested in knowing what was going on with this method, for the rest of the night I will try to reverse it back to normal, starting with that warning, I wanted to know what exactly was wrong with this method first .
After more than an hour, I finally managed to reverse the text back to being readable again, I was surprised that it took so long, but it seem that the difficulty would decrease from here on out .
The reversing took a lot of time, because I was learning the language while trying to fix the issue with it, it seem that the Demons have quite the handy talent in this regard, but I still needed a blueprint to follow, in hope of understanding more and more about this language, the warning allowed me to muster more than enough words to succeed in this .
The warning entailed :
This method had proven to be not practicable, those who are able to find this Technique, I suggest that you burn it directly, the problem with this Technique was that it will gave birth to Devour Type seed, that kind of seed could be considered an attributless seed normally, but that wasn't the case with the one this technique gave birth to, be aware for your own life if you still dared to practice it .
The warning ended with another severe warning, this method was practicable, what did that even mean, it gave warning and the type of seed that this method granted, but hadn't said anything about the effect of that seed or what exactly differed this Life seed from the other Devouring Seeds, the Northern Devouring Star, I wonder how long would it take me to figure out the secret with you .
Just as I was about to delve into the mission of deciphering this booklet in front of me, a knock on my door woke me up, I was able to see light coming from my windows, illuminating the wide room, it seem that I was so engrossed in my own research that I had completely lost my sense of time .
The booklet in my hand belonged to the Northern Devouring Star, the cover was black and even the pages were too, the writing in the book were golden, the title was too, the whole booklet looked quite mysterious, its appearance alone made me lose my sense of time .
I really wonder if this book was a blessing or a curse, I might be able to find out after deciphering it first, my judgement before about the mission becoming a lot easier seemed about to go wrong .
The warning letter that was written by the person who created this technique perhaps took more than 2 hours, I came back to the family mansion at what appeared to be midnight, these days a lot of different things going on, but I'm still certain about the time I came back at yesterday .
Yet, the sun rays was already upon us, that mean at least 3 to 4 hours had passed and I was barely deciphering the warning letter and from it I got the name of the technique, it seem that I'm in for quite the problematic situation .
" Who ? .
I first replied to the person knocking on my door after shaking my head and sighing feeling a quite sense of bewilderment, the person at the door turned out to be none other than the Dorell family head, he was saying that there was something that I needed to see .
I was even more confused at him saying this, but I still reluctantly absorbed all the items on the floor back to the bracelet and the only exception I made was for that strange black book, I stored it in my robe and came out, I saw that it seem that something happy had happened, the Dorax that was frowning yesterday, was actually now smiling from ear to ear .
Seeing him like this, I didn't even need to ask, he directly led me to the Hall and there I saw a hill of Mana Stones appearing in front of me currently in the Main Hall of the mansion, I was certain that in front of me there were more Mana Stones than the 30%, I asked them to hand .
The amount was enough to even make the grumpy Loger and his stupid Father to stare wildly at the amount of Mana Stones in front of them, but once they heard the sound of footsteps descending the stairs, they were awakened from their trance and was looking at me with quite difficult to describe expressions, it was fear mixed with awe and still tainted with a bit of hatred as well .
" Had the Levern Family delivered this ? .
I ignored the looks on the two of them and instead turned towards the family head, I saw the smile on his face widened even more at my question as he said :
Queen Fey took the initiative to come her and deliver these resources, she said that it was from both the Leverns and the Harpies .
Hearing his answer, I understood that the two girls still wanted to carry favors with me, I told them that they didn't need to hand over any Mana Stones, yet they still wanted to contribute, so be it, I will compensate them for this later .
" Store all these for me and ship them to my room .
You can't..., uhm, family head, with this much Mana Stones we can at least welcome another Ruler level powerhouse to the family, we can't afford to waste them on one person .
Without letting go of any chance to go against me, Drakes took the initiative to say this, but his words fell on deaf ears, the family head had already stored everything in a Spatial Storage Equipment shaped as a ring, that ring contained more than 40 to 70 thousand Mana Stones .
Even Dorax as a family head had never seen so much Mana Stones in his life before, his hand as he presented me the ring was a bit shaky, but his decisive actions earned him another point in my book, before I teach Drakes a lesson for his words earlier, the family head took initiative in deescalate things and asked me to let the matter go for his sake .
But even though I agreed, the other party was about to start spouting some nonsense again, but thinking about the whole picture for a second there, a 10,000 Mana Stones and dropped them on the floor and said :
" Here's my contribution to the family, if you dare to come out with more than me, I will let your son regain his position as the family successor back, how ? .
As I said this, the two of them were dumbstruck by what I have said, with Loger reacting even more strongly than his father, seeing both of their faces, I couldn't help but turn my head towards the only person in the room with us and the only person who should have an explanation for this whole confusion .
Uhm, this was still being discussed by the family elders yesterday, elder Drakes wasn't notified because the issue would have been a personal conflict of interest, but we had reached a decision yesterday .
From this day forward, Callen Loon would be the heir to the family instead of Loger, the reason is the great disparity in abilities between the two, we believe that for the sake of family's benefits, he shall be appointed as the new heir .
I figured as much, the family head hadn't done what I told him yesterday, that guy was still thinking that he was still the heir of the family, I thought that he would go berserk or something like that, but it seem that the news about me taking down the Levern Family had him become more cautious and guarded against me .
He didn't yell nor did he create a scene, he just looked at the Mana Stones on the floor and seem to be doubting his life, seeing him in this hollowed of life like state, I decided to try and win him over by saying :
" So, to tell you the truth Loger, there was no meeting, no assessing for who was more suitable, or really anything of that sort, I got the position because I have a use for it and because I wanted it, it's that simple .
" You don't need to look at family head like that, believe it or not, both you and your father are alive because of him, if not for him, I might have killed both of you the first time you crossed me .
" I'm not saying this to make fun of you, but I wanted you to know that if I wanted, you two would be laying here dead, but I still like to have no internal fights in the family, so I will compromise with you here and now .
" Answer me this Loger, do you want the position or the girl that came with the position, answer truthfully and who knows you might get your wish in the end .
After hearing all I have to say, Loger and his father were quite shocked and also quite upset, it doesn't look like that the hatred between us buried at all, but neither of the two still dare to retort to violence, at least not yet, they still have a sense of reason holding them back .
The other last person in the room, was quite calm regarding all that was being said, he already understood what I was trying to do and what I'm about to do next, so not only he didn't try to say anything to stop it, but was beginning to sigh in relief as well .
Seeing the family head reacting like that, Loger finally seemed to be ready for talking this matter out, after taking 3 to 4 minutes in gathering his thoughts, he finally said :
What exactly do you mean by that, can I achieve one part without the other ? .
Hearing his question, I understood that he had already made up his mind and chose the girl, so I replied, saying :
" Well, if the girl actually liked you, I don't think that this would be much difficult to achieve, what I'm trying to say is this, do you think she wants to marry you as much as you want to marry her, if the position was all that was tying you together, then how about you two lives after marrying .
I still saw the confusion on his face still there, so I couldn't help but find the need to continue saying :
" What I'm trying to say is, if the girl truly wanted to marry you, it wouldn't matter to her whether you are the heir to the family or not, I had no interest on how you do it, but you do whatever you see necessary to make her approve of your love, but bear in mind that you would need to do it without the title .
He seemed to have finally grasped the meaning behind my words, he kept staring at me silently without saying anything for a few minutes, then he finally said :
So you really have no desire to take her as your betrothal ? .
" I cantell you that loud and clear, I really have no interest in getting betrothed to anyone, all you have to do is to convince her to marry you without caring about the title and the girl is yours .
Just as I wanted to hear his thought, the hoarse voice of Drakes sounded in the hall like a ringing bell, saying :
Don't agree to that, son .
He said readily and rapidly, hearing him say this, I couldn't help chuckle slightly at his response, my chuckling in this deathly quiet hall sounded a bit evil, but I really couldn't help myself anymore .
After hearing my laughter, it seem that their attention was now fully on me, seeing them focusing on me, I said in a ridiculing tone while continuing to ascend the stairs :
" Agree, agree to what, you are talking as if I was offering him a deal or even concerned about his opinion on this, I'm only stating the only chance he had, you don't need to take my suggestion just now as if I cared about whether you will be able to marry her or not .
" If you don't want to take the chance I gave you, then so be it, you can try to use the scared rule of us Demons and get your position back by challenging me, but I don't even need to tell you the outcome for that .
" Not only you will lose, but think about what would happen after you losing, words around here spread pretty fast, even though that lady of yours might love you back, she in the end a demon, or half one at least .
" With there being rumors about her beloved and her future husband losing so badly like this, what then, I tell you what then, then the Demon Emperor would frown on the mere thought of you marrying his daughter .
" Losing your face, dignity, worth and even your beloved in a single day, that's the consequences that I can see happening if you were to refuse the chance I'm giving you, family head Drakes, I remembered that I had something to ask you, deal with these lots here and come to my room later .
As I finished saying this, I went back to my room and got the black book out of my robe, just now I felt some fluctuations appear from it after using mental energy to pressure Loger before, could Mental Energy be the key to..... .
My door was knocked on, then family head Dorax appeared and was obviously bewildered at what I needed him for, leaving him no room to say anything, I directly asked :
" Tell me about that Mind Nourishing Method .
