Chapter 2053 - Magic Drained The old man looked at me, and I found my whole body numb and strong leaving me; I felt like I was being stared down by an apex predator. The Grand Lords are the apex predators; they are at the limit of Tyrant, which is the limit of our world. A second later, his expressions changed suddenly and drastically, "I'll be damned, A Scion of Celestial Inheritance and from Riverfield again!" He said with a shocked voice as he looked at the emblem of Riverfield academy on my chest. "At first, I thought you were joking with me, angela, but it looks like you are not." "Still, a scion of celestial inheritance appearing from the riverfield Academy again is great news for an old man who had slept for god knows how long," The old man said. "Fifty-three years Elder Lord," Answered Lord Whitman, hearing that old man turned to Lord Whitman. "You are this generation leader of our Academy; where is that ungrateful student of mine? He can't come back to see his old teacher wake up," Old man said, clearly angry. "I apologize for teacher Elder Lord, but a teacher had assumed the position of aegis," Lord Whitman said as he kneeled on his knee, and the understanding flashed in the old man's eyes. "So, the war had begun," Old man said with a sigh as he motioned lord Whitman to get up. "Yes, it had, and it is way worse than you could imagine; if not for that, we would not use the risky method to wake you up," Lady Angela said. "Appearance of a scion of celestial inheritance, a sign of epochal war. It looks like we have to be ready to pay the huge price to survive the war, much less win it," Old man said, "Hehe, it seemed like these old bones would see some actions soon," the old man added with a laugh. "Gatlin, why did you take such a big risk? That place is a graveyard for people like us," Lady Angela asked. "I got greedy angela, I found a treasure map which marks the relatively safe way to the outer edges of the middle part," Old man said with a mirthless laugh. "Have you at least got the thing you took such idiotic risk for or just came running with the parasite in your body?" Lady angela asked sharply, which made an expression of shame appear on the face of the old man for a moment before it disappeared. "Of course I have got it, the parasite I have got on my way back," He said defensively and even folded his hands in front of his chest. "You did not seem too happy by the thing you have got; otherwise, you would have gloated on my face by now," Old women said, and the expressions old man fell immediately. "I think I fell into some bastard's sick joke; the thing I got is useless," Old man said, and a small glass bottle appeared in his hand, and inside it were three green seeds which seemed to have fractal patterns on them. "Let me have a look at them?" Lady Angela asked and the old man who threw a glass bottle at her. She caught it and opened its lids and took seeds in her hands, and soon surprise flashed in her eyes. "Nothing, it looked like things from magic-drained ruins, there is not a speck of any type of energy in them, they really looked like a seed from the world which does not have an ounce of energy in it." "Old man, it looks like you have really fallen into some dead bastard's sick joke," Lady Angela said with a laugh, and that seemed to sour the mood of the old man even further as he looked at seeds in the glass bottle. "Little guy takes this seed, you guys of celestial Inheritances are experts in creating a miracle and might even be able to find a truth about this seed if it is not someone's sick joke," Old man said and threw a single seed at me, which I had caught it and immediately got a reaction. It is not from my core or my runes but from Ashlyn and Nero; they are asking me to bring the seed to the core. I sent the seed to them with a warning not to eat it; I wanted to know what it was before I could let them eat it. "It is not a reward. You have done a great favor to me; I will be sending you an appropriate reward for that," he said. "There is no need for the reward Grand Lord; I did what I should do," I said while feeling excited about the reward that was about to come. These old guys and their organizations did not hold back on the rewards they gave. The Blazing Sphere that Rai is from had given me a huge reward, and there is even a tiny piece of divine crystal in it. Crystal Domination which, Grandmaster Imogen belongs to, had also sent a huge reward with a note that grandmaster Imogen would personally come to thank me when she is completely stabilized. "There is no need to be a humble little guy, your actions deserve a reward, and you will get it," He said before appearing close to me. "Now tell me about this parasitic cage; I am sure it may have some restrictions?" He asked; his assessment is spot on. "Yes, there are several of them, but two you should be most careful of." "First, you should always keep the cage charged, and second you should not use your full power for more than an hour; the less you use your full power, the better it would be," I cautioned. "I will keep that in mind," he said, "And once again, thank you and you too little Charline, I will not forget this favor," He said and disappeared with Lady Angela and lord Whitman, leaving Grandmistress Charline and me alone.
