381 Another path opened
“We’re here.”
“Well, thank you for leading the way,” Fein responded with a smile on his face. He looked at the familiar white mansion in front of him that would make anyone feel dizzy because of its size.
Fein walked to the entrance of the mansion. A brown door filled with ornaments and gems appeared before him. Then he stretched his hand towards the door that was made of pure gold and quickly entered.
Just like that, he scanned his eyes on the hall. Everything was familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Due to his powerful memory, he notices the subtle changes or slightest details that have changed. For example, the placement of the chair, or the color of the cloth used to cover a table.
Then, in the corner of his map, he saw one green dot. When he looked in the green dot’s direction, he quickly determined that it lead to the stairs on the second floor of the mansion.
‘Hmm... Why are there no servants here?’ Fein proceeded in the green dot’s direction slowly.
He could hear his footsteps echo in the hall due to how silent the place was. While he was walking up the stairs, he couldn’t help but think of Sofia’s beautiful face. His heart started to pound faster and he had to take a deep breath to calm it down. “Am I actually nervous? I didn’t expect that the day would come that I would actually feel this way again to a girl.”
In a few minutes, Fein looked at a blue wall with white linings from its corners. It has a huge spherical shape globe drawn in the middle, and the number 201 written on top.
Fein raised his hand and knocked at the door thrice. He could feel with his perception that the person inside the room was an S-rank degu user.
.....
“Who’s there?”
“Fein... I’m here for Sofia.”
The person on the other side became silent for a moment. Then, Fein could hear footsteps behind the door and it gets nearer and nearer. With that, the door creaked slightly and got pulled slowly.
Fein saw Lucius, who has a book with a violet book in his hands. He has reading glasses on his face.
Lucius glanced at Fein for a moment before he looked back at the back he was reading and says. “So... Where would you bring my daughter this time? Your appearance is timely. My daughter didn’t stop training for even and kept pushing herself. I’m starting to get worried.”
Fein turned his head at the book in Lucius’s hand with interest. But he suppressed himself from asking. “Well, isn’t that good? At least she was full of motivation.”
“It was indeed good. But she even forgot to eat at the right time because of it. Now, would you say that it was good??? Too much of everything is bad.” Lucius flipped the page of the book and continue reading.
“That’s indeed, but if that’s the case.” Fein scratched his chin. “It’s probably because of our last experience from the secret realm.”
“Hmmm... She was beaten quite badly, right? But I disagree with that. It seems she just wants to become more useful to you and help you as much as possible.” Lucius paused for a while without lifting his head. Then he sighed and says. “I know my daughter more than anyone.”
Fein couldn’t help but feel the warmth as he could feel that Lucius’s words were nothing but the truth. ‘Sofia was really doing her best for me, huh? I’m really lucky to have a girl like her.’
Thinking of this, Fein opened his mouth. “Okay, I’ll do something about it. Now, I’m curious how much she had improved.”
“Well, you would be surprised.” A mysterious smile hung on Lucius’s face as he continued reading the book in his hands.
‘What the fuck is this old man reading?’ Fein felt irked and curious at the same time.
“My daughter was in the garden, training as usual... You can take her. I know that she’s safe in your hand. Mr. S rank...” Lucius smirked.
“How did you know?” Fein became speechless. After all, they didn’t reveal the information yet.
“Of course, from our intelligence unit. The incident in the stadium caused quite a disturbance in the degu society. And since only the Ranger’s Eye had participated, I knew that it was only you who could take an A-rank peak monster. And you already told me once in the letter that you’re about to break through in your last text message. I must say, that phone is quite handy.”
“Well, yeah... I already ascended to S rank. I’ll go to Sofia now. Goodbye, old man.” Fein walked to the door, but he squinted his eyes and took one last glance at the book. When he read the title, it shocked him to the core.
Because the title of the book was ‘The Blood God Breathing Technique’, although he didn’t really know if it was the same as the one in his mind. Just the overbearing name of the technique gave him a feeling of power. ‘Breathing technique? Is this those things that tapped the potential of the body like the one in the Wizard and Knight novel that I have read? Or something different?? Lucius has really a lot of secrets from him.’
If it was really the same breathing technique on his mind, then if he could learn it, his strength would achieve another leap! If even if it’s not... It would become a valuable research path and use it as a basis to create a powerful breathing technique!
Now, he understood why Lucius was too busy to even spare him a glance. It turned out that the book in his hands was too precious. Furthermore, he knew that if he could combine breathing technique and swordsmanship... He couldn’t even think what would happen. But it would certainly help him!
Fein suppressed the burning desire in his heart and closed the door. It’s not the time yet... He was too embarrassed to ask anything of his future father-in-law since he had a lot of favors he owed. After all, he received so much help from him in the past few years.
‘Well, let’s ask Sofia regarding this,’ Fein chuckled in his heart.
