Book 1, Chapter 3 – The Dragonblood Warrior Clan (part two)
“The Dragonblood Warrior Clan?!” Linley felt as though his entire head was buzzing
In Linley’s eyes, his clan was nothing more than just an ancient clan which had fallen on hard tionblood Warrior?
“You don’t believe ’s face “Linley, go up and take a close look at those spirit tablets By now, you can read all the words on thele spirit tablet is the history of those departed forefathers The three spirit tablets at the very top, are three who are Dragonblood Warriors!”
Hogg took Linley by the hand “Co led Linley towards the area behind thesaid, “Take a close look at those characters behind”
Linley widened his eyes and began to read
The words carved onto the uppermost tablet were etched very deep and very clearly Those five thousand year old characters told of an astonishing story!
“Baruch, the very first Dragonblood Warrior of the Yulan continent In the year 4560 of the Yulan calendar, outside the walls of the city of Linnan, Baruch did battle against a Black Dragon and a Titanic Frost Wyrm In the end, he slew both the Titanic Frost Wyr his fame to be spread across the world In the year 4579 of the Yulan calendar, along the coastline of the northern sea of the continent, Baruch did battle against a Nine-Headed Serpent Ely and nearby cities cruht, Baruch finally executed the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor…finally, Baruch founded the Baruch clan, and became the first leader of the Baruch clan!”
“Ryan [Rui’en] Baruch, the second Dragonblood Warrior of the Yulan continent In the year 4690 of the Yulan calendar, in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, he defeated and subdued a Saint-level Golden Dragon, and becaonrider Saint! In the year 4697…”
“Hazard [Ha’ze’de] Baruch, the third Dragonblood Warrior of the Yulan continent Born in the year 5360 of the Yulan calendar, in his very first battle, he fought fiercely with a Saint-level Bloody-eyed Maned Lion in the Mountain Range of the Setting Sun He defeated the lion, forcing it to scurry away and flee, causing Hazard to becohty na story after another, orously
“My clan, is actually the clan of the Dragonblood Warriors?” Linley was extre said in a low voice, “The first three generations of the Baruch faonblood Warrior, one’s life expectancy would draonblood Warrior didn’t get married or have children until after he was seven hundred years old”
“And afterwards?” Linley wondered “Father, why doesn’t our clan have any onblood Warrior, the onblood which flows in our veins The higher the density, the better After onblood in our veins has grown thinner and thinner However…that isn’t an absolute Because as tioes on, soh density of dragonblood”
“After Hazard Baruch, the fourth Dragonblood Warrior appeared, nearly a thousand years later And then, after fifteen hundred years passed, which is to say tens of generations later, the fifth Dragonblood Warrior finally appeared in our clan But in the thousand years froonblood Warrior has shown up”
Hogg shook his head and sighed “The fifth Dragonblood Warrior only stayed on the Yulan continent for around two centuries, before he disappeared In the thousand years since then, our Baruch clan has totally decayed”
After a thousand years, even the most illustrious of families could decay
“However, our clan still has hope Perhaps in the future, one of our descendants will have the requisite density of dragonblood in their veins, and onblood Warrior If they , they would be able to becoonblood Warrior And at that tilorious days of yore, ere known as the Dragonblood Warrior Clan!” Hogg’s eyes shone “Linley, you are six and a half now According to our rules, at your age, the test to see if your blood has a high density of dragonblood will be fairly accurate Today, I a the density of dragonblood in my veins? Test me?” Linley fully understood the i this test This test would shohether or not he onblood Warrior
“Linley, wait here I’ll go get the ‘Dragonblood Needle’” Hogg clearly was very excited, as he immediately departed the ancestral hall for a nearby private rooonblood Warrior?” Linley wasthere, Linley’s erness and fear He feared that the density of dragonblood in his veins wasn’t high enough
“If I fail, I guess father will be extrerown up with his father and his younger brother, Linley didn’t want to disappoint his father But the density of dragonblood in his veins wasn’t so he could decide
After just a short period of ti needle that was extreonblood Needle?” Linley guessed, as he stared at the long needle in his father’s hands
“Alright, Linley This needle will just barely break the skin when it goes in It won’t hurt at all Stretch out your hand” Hogg s a deep breath, Linley stretched out his right ar in his arm showed that Linley really was very nervous
Not just Linley To tell the truth, even Hogg was very nervous
“Hold it” Holding the translucent Dragonblood Needle, Hogg lightly pricked Linley’s ring finger with it, easily piercing the skin Linley felt a piercing pain, and the translucent needle i ionblood Needle up and inspected it carefully
