The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 3

"The Dragonblood Warrior Clan ?!" Linley felt as if his entire head was buzzing.

In Linley's eyes, his clan was nothing more than an ancient clan that had fallen on hard times. How could it be attributed to the legendary Dragonblood Warrior?

"You don't believe me?" Traces of arrogance can be seen on Hogg's face. "Linley, go up and watch that spirit tablet. Now, you can read all the words in it. Behind every spirit tablet was the history of their dead ancestors. The three spirit tablets at the very top, were the three that were Dragonblood Warriors! ”

Hogg took Linley by hand. "Come on. ”

Hogg led Linley towards the area behind the many spirit tablets. Raising it, Hogg said, “Note the characters behind. ”

Linley widened his eyes and started to read.

The words engraved on the topmost tablet were engraved very deeply and very clearly. The five thousand year old character told an amazing story!

“Baruch, the first Dragonblood Warrior on the Yulan continent. In the year 4560 of the Yulan calendar, outside the city walls of Linnan, Baruch did battle against the Black Dragon and the Titanic Frost Wyrm. In the end, he killed both the Titanic Frost Wyrm and the Black Dragon, causing his fame to spread throughout the world. In the year 4579 of the Yulan calendar, along the coastline of the northern sea of the continent, Baruch conducted a battle against the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor. On that day, his waves unceasingly collapsed and the nearby cities collapsed, but after a ferocious fight that lasted all day and night, Baruch finally executed the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor, Baruch founded the Baruch clan, and became the first leader of the Baruch clan! "

“Ryan [Rui'en] Baruch, the second Dragonblood Warrior on the Yulan continent. In the year 4690 of the Yulan calendar, in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, he defeated and conquered the Saint-level Golden Dragon, and was known as the Saint Golden Dragonrider! In year 4697 .. ”

“Hazard [Ha'ze'de] Baruch, the third Dragonblood Warrior from the Yulan continent. Born in the year 5360 of the Yulan calendar, in his first battle, he fought fiercely with the Saint-level-Eyed Concealed Lion at Range Mountain in Setting Sun. He defeats the lion, forcing him to run and escape, causing Hazard to become famous all over the world … "

…

One big name after another, one incredible story after another, made the blood in Linley's veins pump more vigorously.

"My clan, is actually the Warrior Dragonblood clan?" Linley was very excited.

Beside him, Hogg said in a low voice, "The first three generations of the Baruch family are all Warrior Dragonblood. After becoming a Dragonblood Warrior, one's life expectancy would increase dramatically. The second generation Dragonblood Warrior did not marry or have children until he was seven hundred. ”

"And afterwards?" Linley wondered. "Dad, why doesn't our clan have any more Dragonblood Warriors?"

Hogg nodded. “To become a Dragonblood Warrior, the most important thing is the density and thickness of the dragonblood flowing in our veins. The higher the density, the better. After several generations, the density of dragon blood in our veins is thinning even more. But ... it's not absolute. Because as time went on, sometimes, out of nowhere, the descendants would have an extremely high blood dragon density. ”

“After Hazard Baruch, the fourth Dragonblood Warrior appeared, almost a thousand years later. And then, after a thousand five hundred years had passed, which meant that tens of generations later, the fifth Dragonblood Warrior finally appeared in our clan. But in the thousand years from then until now, not a single Dragonblood Warrior had appeared. ”

Hogg shook his head and sighed. “The fifth Dragonblood warrior only stayed in the Yulan continent for about two centuries, before he disappeared. In the thousands of years since then, our Baruch clan has completely decayed. ”

After a thousand years, even the most illustrious families can rot.

“However, our clan still has hope. Perhaps in the future, one of our descendants will have the necessary dragonblood density in their veins, and meet the requirements to become a Dragonblood Warrior. If they met the requirements, after only a few decades of training, they would be able to become true Dragonblood Warriors. And at that time, the Baruch clan will once again be restored to its former glory days, when we are known as the Dragonblood Warrior Clan! ”Hogg's eyes shine. "Linley, you're six and a half now. According to our rules, at your age, a test to see if your blood has a high blood dragon density will be quite accurate. Today, I'll test you. ”

Linley. “Testing the density of dragonblood on my veins? Test me? "Linley fully understood the implications of her father performing this test. This test would show whether he was qualified to become a Dragonblood Warrior.

"Linley, wait here. I'll go get the 'Dragonblood Needle'. “Hogg was obviously very excited, as he immediately left the ancestral hall to the nearest private room.

“Dragonblood Warrior? Will I really become a Dragonblood Warrior? "Linley was mentally restless.

Standing there, Linley's mind was in a mess. He was filled with desire and fear. He was afraid that the blood density of the dragon in his veins was not high enough.

“If I fail, I think dad will be very disappointed. "Linley could not help but think. Raised with his father and younger brother, Linley did not want to disappoint his father. But the density of the dragon blood in his veins was not something he could decide.

After a while, Hogg returned with a very thin twenty-centimeter-long needle as he walked out of the private room.

"Dragonblood Needle?" Guess Linley, as he stared at the long needle in his father's hand.

"Alright, Linley. This needle will hardly damage the skin when it enters. It doesn't hurt at all. Stretch your hands. "Hogg smiled, and Linley nodded. Taking a deep breath, Linley stretched out his right arm. The slight trembling in his arms showed that Linley was really very nervous.

Not just Linley. To be honest, even Hogg was very nervous.

"Hand it. "Holding the translucent Dragonblood Needle, Hogg lightly pierced Linley's ring finger with it, easily piercing the skin. Linley felt a piercing pain, and the translucent needle immediately turned red as well.

With trembling hands, Hogg immediately raised the Dragonblood Needle and examined it closely.

"Huh .." with a breath of breath, Hogg put the Dragonblood Needle to one side.

Hearing the****** of his father, the nervous Linley knew that the density of the dragonblood in his veins was clearly not reaching the required level. Her tears immediately began to flow.

"Linley, why are you crying? Don't cry, be good, don't cry. "Hogg immediately hugged Linley. Seeing Linley cry, Hogg felt fed up. After all, Linley was still only six and a half. He's just a little kid.

"I won't cry. Yeah Won't cry "Linley sobbed twice, then forced herself to calm down. "Dad, I'm sorry. I've let you down. ”

Hearing Linley's words, Hogg felt a warm feeling in his heart. He could not help but hold Linley against his chest. "Linley, don't feel bad. I really don't expect too much. Over a thousand years and tens of generations, no one had become a Dragonblood Warrior. It doesn't matter that you failed too. Dad doesn't blame you. ”

Sensing the warmth of his father's chest, Linley's tightened chest gradually loosened.

At this point, two-year-old Wharton had long since fallen asleep in Grandpa Hiri's arm.

"Linley, at this point in time, the Baruch family consisted only of you, me, and your little brother. I have no excessive expectations. I never dared to dream of becoming a Dragonblood Warrior. “Hogg laughs at himself by insinuating. How could becoming a Dragonblood Warrior be such an easy task?

Linley raised his head, looking at his father.

Linley rarely saw his father talking to him in such a manner. Normally, his father was always very strict and unyielding.

Gazing at the row of spirit tablets, Hogg's eyes were filled with a gloomy sadness. “My true goal is actually to restore the ancestral heirloom of the Baruch clan, which was passed down from generation to generation. ”

“Our ancestral heirloom? Whatisit? Why have I never heard of it? "Ask Linley to know.

Hogg proudly said, "the heirloom of our ancestors – warlords," Slaughterers ". This was the weapon used by the first leader of the Baruch clan, the first Dragonblood Warrior in the Yulan continent. Unfortunately ... His descendants are unfilial. Six hundred years ago, because of poverty, a luxury-loving descendant actually sold our ancestral weapons for money. ”

As he spoke, Hogg was filled with such great fury that his body completely shook.

Shaking his head helplessly, he said, “After that, every generation tried to recover the 'Slayers' warblade, but despite six hundred years of trying, none of us succeeded. After all, when we sold the 'Slaughterer' warblade, it was for the price of 180,000 gold coins. 180,000 gold coins! We cannot produce such a large amount, but even if so, the current owner will not be willing to sell to us. ”

The ancient clan of Dragonblood Warriors, had actually sold its own ancestral heirloom.

It's humiliation!

The humiliation of the ancient clan Dragonblood Warrior!

Every succeeding generation had tried to find a way to regain the 'Slayers' of the war, but despite six hundred years of trying, they had never succeeded.

As the current leader of the clan, Hogg also had this desire, but the economic situation of the clan was in trouble. 180,000 gold coins? Even if they sold the castle and all of their possessions, they might not be able to produce such a large amount.

Ancestral heritage is gone. This humiliation continued to weigh on Hogg's heart. He felt ashamed and helpless, and was unable to face his ancestors.

Seeing the look on his father's face, Linley comforted him, “Dad, don't be sad! I promise that one day, I will restore our family heirloom and bring it back to this palace. ”

"You?" Hogg chuckles. Eyes filled with love, he ruffled Linley's hair.

In his heart, Hogg quietly said, "Linley. Did you know, the words you just said .. Many years ago, I said the same words to your Grandfather as well. ”Six hundred years of effort all failed. How could it be easily achieved? After all, the person who had bought the 'Slayers' warblade was unlikely to be an ordinary person.

Why would they sell?

Even if they were willing to sell, how could the decrepit Baruch clan pay the fee?

"Dad, you don't believe me?" Raising his head, Linley looked at his father questioningly.

"I believe you, I trust you" Hogg laughed.

Father and son hugged each other. Only three members remained of the ancient Dragonblood Clan in this era. When can this decaying clan regain the glory and honor it had in previous years? At this moment, lying on his father's chest, Linley's fist clenched tightly!
