"First Place of the - - Sam tournament" This was the first thing he heard when he opened his eyes. He looked around and noticed that the stage was back to normal and the Headmaster with the Count stood in the middle, while there were nine students standing behind them.
Sam confusedly headed for the stage and walked towards the Count who gave him a plaque along with a spatial ring.
"Congratulations, Sam." The count said with a smile. Sam thanked him and went to stand with the nine people behind.
The top 10 spots are filled with familiar faces. But that was not what surprised him, instead he was surprised by the fact that Eve and Shor did not make it to the top 10 even with an incredible accumulation of points in the second half.
They only managed to get into the top 20 with great difficulty.
“Now the prize for the top 10 people is that they are selected to enter the academy in the city of Marquis. They can report to that place in three months. The tournament was arranged specifically to select these 10 candidates to enter a special class that was opened in the Marquis' academy and this was done on the direct order of the Marquis himself.
All the spectators were shocked, the candidates who were at the bottom of the rankings were envious. Candidates who skipped the ranking with thin scores felt jealous and the noble children felt inappropriate. In the myriad of feelings and reactions caused by the announcement, Sam was the only one who felt at ease. He showed no expression at all. Because, he knew the info from the Headmaster. Then Castor continued.
"The remaining fifty people will be taken as students of the Falcon Cliff academy as a special Elite class, which we will open starting this year and every year, he said, The Headmaster and City lords of the subordinate cities will select the top 10 special students to join this elite class."
When the remaining candidates heard this, they were immediately delighted. They thought that their arrival here was futile. Then another announcement came.
“Now, the best team is Starwood city because we have seen an incredible number of candidates, they are followed by Falcon Cliff city. From this year onwards the resources of Starwood academy will double and taxes will be reduced from five percent to three percent."
When the Headmaster of Starwood and the lord of Starwood city heard this announcement, they were quite excited. The Headmaster even thanked in Sam's heart for this achievement.
Before long, the ceremony ended. As Sam was about to step off the stage with the others, he was stopped by Castor and the Count.
"Sam, can we borrow your time?" Count falcon was polite when asking. Sam gives his approval and follows them, letting his friends go to the mansion first.
They went to a private room inside the academy and sat down as they were served with a few drinks.
"Sam, I'll be honest with you. Did you receive the last key of Murali's legacy?" Castor asked as soon as the servants left.
Sam was a little surprised. He had no idea that Castor would know about the inheritance. After all, it was not his fault to think that the will tower had never been cleaned before. But Sam did not say anything and just remained silent with a puzzled expression.
Count Falcon and Castor exchanged glances and the latter said. “Actually not very secret. You probably already know that there are three other inheritance keys and currently the other three are already owned by someone else.
And one of the three is with our imperial family. The remaining two are under two different organizations. The thing about this inheritance is an open secret in the upper echelons of the empire and I wouldn't be surprised if some head of the noble family knew about this."
When Sam heard Castor's explanation, he pondered for a moment and asked.
“What do you want from me, exactly?” He thought that he did not need to pretend, because he could not deny it. The other party did not use force which meant there was some catch here.
“Actually, many people try to clean the tower of wills, but this becomes almost impossible because of the difficulty more than the other three. The three parties who had ownership of the other three keys reached an agreement that the person who could clean the will tower could not be forced to hand over the key to anyone.
They felt that since the tower of will was the most difficult of all, the one who cleaned up must have been important and perhaps irreplaceable on the way. So they announced to the upper public who had news of this to make sure not to move against the candidate who cleared the will tower or they would become the joint enemy of the three of them. So, you don't have to worry we'll hurt you." Count Falcon first explained to calm Sam down, then continued.
“Actually, all we want is help from you. According to the prince of the imperial family who was one of the heirs. S
An heir can take four people with him. So, we wondered if we could use two places. " The Count Falcon's voice seemed somewhat hesitant at the end. After all, asking for two places was no small matter.
"What's your offer?" Sam asked without a change of expression. But inside his brain it was spinning. He had no idea that the thing about inheritance was such a big common secret. He didn't even see the point of being careful anymore. If something happens to him, the three organizations will make a hell for the people who move on him. So, Sam jumped into the business. He wanted to know exactly how valuable this heritage place was.
Count Falcon and Castor fell silent for a while and gave him the number "1 million spirit stones." But Sam was not moved by it at all. After all, his income was almost this much when he was doing business in a subordinate city like Starwood city. Sam stood up and said.
"Master Count and Headmaster. I actually have a pretty good impression on both of you. But I don't agree if you want to treat me as a gullible person. Despite this, I don't know exactly how valuable a place is and the importance of this heritage, I don't know if 1 million spirit stones is worth it or not.
Before you offer me, please check my background. Earning a million isn't a big deal to me at all. So, please be more sincere next time and I will only give you one place. So, you decide what you want to offer and who wants to accept the offer. For now I'll go." Sam said and said goodbye.
Sam went to the mansion after that. He slept well that night. The next morning, the first thing he did was check on the panther. When he observed the changes in their bodies, not only did they break through and become a level 2 ferocious beast, there were some changes to the beast core and its bloodline.
When he closely observed the situation, he realized that the fire poison was trying to merge with the beast core and the bloodline.
Sam felt happy and worried at the same time. Because, this was a great opportunity for the panther to have a qualitative change in the beast core and bloodline, but he was worried that the constitution of this ferocious beast would be able to withstand the evolution in this bloodline.
He thought about it for quite a while and studied the information in Blood Refinement and Evolution techniques. "So, there's only one way." Sam got the idea. He exited the mansion and went to the cave where Yanwu and Sky lived.
When he went there, he was surprised to see a number of scrolls in the corner. Watt immediately stood up and greeted him, as he entered. Both Yanwu and Sky were not inside the cave.
Before Sam could say anything, Watt said. "Shadow mice carry these scrolls from somewhere. Yanwu said it might be useful to you." Sam nodded at his words and just as he was about to reply. Yanwu and Sky entered the cave.
Sky is in good shape now. His fur was shiny and he was full of spirit. When he saw Sam, the huge dragon was overjoyed. Sam first hugged Yanwu and then greeted Sky.
"Sky, you probably know about my contract with Yanwu." Sky nodded at the statement.
"Actually I can develop your bloodline. If you want, I'd like to make the same contract as you."
Sky nodded in agreement without hesitation. Sam was happy and said. "I will lay a formation here, which will allow your bloodline to evolve into a sky sovereign roc. Your bloodline will be at the same level as Yanwu.
But from the number of blood lines you have, you may need time to achieve it. It might take three to five days.
Sam said as he started writing the required runes. The entire cave was almost filled with secret images and he took out a formation flag to place it on some important knot.
After that he took a large amount of wind element spirit stones from Watt and placed them in various knots throughout the arrangement. After more than three hours of hard work, he was finally done.
"Sky, since your case is different from that of a shadow rat that only needs to clean up the impurities in the bloodline, you only need to absorb the wind element energy and let it through the flow that the formation will direct.
The formation will handle the rest. It will use the energy of the wind element by condensing it and will awaken the latent potential of your bloodline. In fact, since you have the genes of the Sovereign Sky Stone, you can directly evolve into one as long as I excite the genes with the energy of the Wind Element which is your bloodline element.
I don't need to participate in it directly. So, I hope you will survive and not put up a fight."
When Sam finished his words, Sky did not answer anything and walked towards the node where he had to stay.
Sam activated the formation and switched to Watt.
"Do you have a problem with your cultivation?" She asked. Since Watt is his follower now, he must look after him.
"No problem at all." Watt straightened his back.
"You are in the ninth stage of initiation. So, the time of your contract has come. Although I can afford pills and medicines, you don't have to rely on them to cultivate at the early stages. They may be useful in the final stages. But if you use it now, you will have to face some reactions. So, you don't have to worry about that." Sam stopped and gave the spatial ring he had obtained as a gift yesterday. "This ring has several pills and herbs along with 100,000 other spirit stones. Go to Vickers' and exchange everything for wind element stones." He gave his instructions and turned towards the scroll in the corner. There were almost twenty scrolls. When Sam took and unrolled.
*squeak**squeak* [Boss, something happened] A shadow mouse came shouting.
"What's going on?" Sam frowned.
*squeak**squeak* [Boss, Kelly kidnapped.] Sam was serious.
"Details."
*squeak**squeak* [today I am 1, 3,5,7 on guard duty in the mansion and cave. The rest are in reconnaissance duty. 1,3 and I was in the mansion while 5,7 was here. We saw a black figure inside the mansion and we followed it. He took Kelly and ran. 1 and 3 followed them and I came here to report. They said that they would come and look for you in the mansion.]
After hearing the details, Sam took the scroll into storage and said to Yanwu to look up at the sky, before running out. Although he wanted to fly, he would only attract trouble if he was caught by the city guards. He doesn't have a permit, anyway.
There was someone else in the room. This is Hawk.
"Sam, someone kidnapped Kelly. They left a message that you should contact them via amulet." Philip said what happened.
Sam looked at the talisman in confusion. Then Hawk explained. "This is a communication talisman. It is a very rare artifact. There's no way anyone in the Falcon Cliffs could have one." Sam digested Hawk's words. He took a note saying what Philip had just said and then took out his talisman.
He checked it while he was sitting on the bed. His face was cold and stiff. Freya and Haley tremble in fear at the thought that Kelly was kidnapped and expect a reaction from Sam. But no one dared to say anything.
"What are you doing here?" Sam asked Hawk.
"I'm here to see you. But when I arrived and asked Kelly and you, we found out that she was kidnapped. I've sent the news to the city guards. They probably heard it by now."
Sam did not reply and played the talisman in his hand. Then suddenly a shadow flew and landed near Sam's feet. The members in the room were shocked when they saw the two mice.
"Speak up" said Sam
*squeak**squeak* [Boss, there are from noble families. We don't know which family they came from. But Kelly's stuck in the basement. She's secure. There were a total of five people besides Kelly. I don't know their cultivation level. But there was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge. A gal. Three guards from the family.]
When Sam heard this, he closed his eyes and seemed to think hard. But the other people in the room were shocked by his conversation with the rats. But they don't make any sound. After a while, Sam opened his eyes and asked Hawk.
"How do I use this?" When Hawk says how to use it, Sam activates without a crack and they hear a sound from him.
#### Haha, Artisan Sam, it took a long time for you to contact us. As you know, your girlfriend is with us. So, if you want him back, you have to give him something in return. ####
"What do you want?" Sam's voice was cold. The members in the room felt like they were standing naked amidst the cold wind.
#### Well, I heard that you have some place for inheritance. So, out of the four I need three of them. I'll send someone for you to sign a blood and soul oath and then I'll send your friend back. ####
When Sam heard this, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Hawk was also surprised that someone would use this tactic to gain a spot.
"Let me talk to him first." Sam replied and a trembling voice sounded through the talisman.
"Sam." Kelly's voice was as sweet as ever, but full of fear and anxiety. Sam took another breath and said.
"Kelly, I'll tell you something now. Please don't interrupt me. Right now, you are in danger and that too, you are far away from me. I can't guarantee that I'll save you.
I'll tell you some bitter truths. They might hit you. Torturing You. Killing you. Everything can happen.
But I want to say something that might hurt you. I will not comply with their demands. Not because I thought your life wasn't worth a trade, but because I thought if I indulged them now, this would only be repeated again.
I'm telling you now. If I can save you from this, I'll make up for it as you wish.
If I can't save you. I will bear the blame and atone for the rest of my life."
When Sam finished his words, everyone felt their hearts tremble. They feel that Sam is a stranger to them. They had not expected him to take this kind of approach. Only three people other than him were completely calm.
Philip, Hawk and Jack. Only they understood that what Sam said was true. If it happens once, it will happen again. This cycle will never stop.
#### Sam, you better think carefully.#### men's voices come back from the talisman. Then they heard Sam speak.
"I don't know exactly who you are. But before you spit out a lot of threats, listen to what I'm saying."
####Speaking####
"The problem is there are three things I hate most in my life and one of them threatens me and you do that, Let's put that aside first.
You are now in the basement. There were a total of five people besides Kelly. Among them was a woman.
You dare to kidnap without regard to the laws of the city, which means there is someone who supports you. You dare to offend not one but two craftsmen at the third rank. Uncle Kelly and I. That means your support is strong enough. And there was only one person who was not afraid of the status of a Count and two rank three craftsmen.
Miss Maya Violet Dew. A pseudo rank 4 tailor in town. The grand elder of the Violet Dew family, That means you are from the Violet Dew family."
####The voice of the amulet is about to cut it. But Sam cut
"I said listen to me not." Sam took a breath and stopped. He looked at the surprised and shocked faces of the people in the room and turned his attention back to the talisman.
"There are a few scenarios that might happen.
The first is that you will send Kelly to my house within an hour after our communication is cut off and along with that you will send her you will send the head of the person who kidnapped her and all the income during the last six months in your textile business
The second scenario is, you'll just send it and not send the remaining things I said, you said, I'll go straight to Piranha and reward all the younger generations of your family and every future generation of your family as compensation for the abduction. .
The third scenario is an interesting one. You could kill Kelly." Sam paused for a moment to see his reaction. As expected.
#### What are you saying?#### the other party sounded quite surprised. Even the people in the room felt their hearts tremble. Then Sam continued.
"What you hear is true. You could kill him. But within an hour, if he doesn't come to the mansion, I'll escape the city. You may not know, but I'm only 15 years old this year and I believe my talent is amazing I'll be visiting the city in a year or two.
That'll be the day, you'll see who Sam really is.
I will cover the entire residence of Violet Dew like a dark cloud. You will see bloodshed that you have never seen in your life.
I'll make soil in the residence, grass grow from the ground, plants grow on the grass, trees loomed over their plants and the wind blew through the tree and people felt a gentle breeze. Everything was. I'll make everything smell of death.
That day you will know it
My own vision will be your destruction
My own breath is a disaster
My own call shows cruelty
Every cell of mine will be an angel of death for life.
But there's something special about you in that room. I may not know exactly who you are, but I'll definitely find out and trust me, when I'm done with you, when I'm done with you, You will embrace death as a gift and you will take the opportunity to visit Hell as if you will get the chance to become immortal. You better make your choice."
Sam finished his speech and turned off the talisman without waiting for an answer.
The members in the room looked at him as if they were looking at a stranger.
The Sam they knew was Cold, yes, but they had never felt this much fear and threat from him before. Even the previously calm Jack, Hawk, and Philip were now trembling. Everyone is now bathed in sweat. The girls had already fallen to the floor when they fainted from stress.
On the other hand communication amulets. Kelly suddenly became very calm. He did not know why, but after listening to Sam, he felt that these people might not even dare to touch him.
He saw the faces of the other five. They looked pale from being drenched in sweat. Especially Jessi. He felt his mouth dry. Even the elder in charge panicked. He really felt that Sam would do as he said. He immediately stood up but fell on the chair again as if his feet were jelly.
