Chapter 17 - conversations

'That is a translation tool. And since it has that engraving on it, it's safe to assume it belongs to the Hemington duchy.'

'What.'

'Yeah I am not lying nobles, clergy-men and royals have translation tools so that they can easily communicate with the foreign dignitaries. But these translation tools are very expensive and in order to prevent it to be used by someone else, they are enchanted with the owner's blood.'

. . . . . .

'I ... I see. What does enchanting it with blood do?'

'Oh, enchanting it with blood means that other than that person no one else can use these translation tools.'

'I see.'

.............................................….

'Old man tell me everything you know about this world. It doesn't matter how big or small just tell me everything you know about this world.'

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

'I see so only nobles, clergy-men and royals have some super-powers called bloodline ability.'

'Indeed that is one of the reasons why there is so much discrimination in the human society. As these nobles, clergy-men and royals refer themselves as chosen-ones. Once they reach an age of 15 they unlock this bloodline ability and can use it very easily.'

'I see what about the other races.'

'They don't have such ability and see they live peacefully, without any discrimination this bloodline ability that these nobles, clergy-men and royals is just a curse.'

'Do you know the bloodline ability of Hemington Family?'

'I heard it has something to do with gravity manipulation. Honestly I don't like nobles and I always stay away from them.'

.............................................….

Just as everyone were going in the stone hut I noticed Nicolai going in a separate hut along with the elders.

'I apologize, but we were attacked by a monster. Please let me use communication crystal. I can call for help.'

'I understand you circumstances. But what about those people.'

'Oh, they were just a bunch of prisoners we were assigned to keep an eye on.'

'I see then do you need them.'

'Honestly I am just trying to get rid of them they were just going to be sold as slaves sooner or later.'

'I see, then do you mind if we take them Mr. Nicolai.'

'Sure I don't mind but what will you do with them?'

'Their lives a HYDRA who lives near our village.'

'WHAT A HYDRA. You mean that HYDRA that has seven faces, that S-rank monster.'

'Indeed, nut don't worry. As long as the HYDRA is not hungry it will not leave its nest. So I was thinking if you could allow us to use those prisoner as sacrifices.'

'Yeah, I don't mind at all.'

'Very well, there is a town nearly 150 km away in the north. I think you could contact them for help.'

'I see thank you.'

.............................................….

After going inside the stone hut I searched for a mirror.

'Hmm. I look around 17 years old. I see interesting.'

.............................................….

'Hmm the food tastes good.'

'Yeah let's eat it.'

'Back off fools the largest portion is mine.'

'Leo what about you are you not going to eat it.'

Looking at old man Ren I smiled and said-'Sorry old man I am not hungry.'

.............................................….

'Hmm so they even fooled Nicolai and now they are going to use him as a sacrifice as well.'

.............................................….

'Listen, you remember what your name is? It is Damien Hemington, second son of duke Hemington of Cetron Kingdom. One of the most powerful noble household. Your bloodline ability is Telekinesis. Use it.'

'As if I will believe you. What makes you think that a noble like me is going to be taken as a prisoner?'

'That's because you were convicted of trying to murder your own elder brother, the future Duke.' 'Haah, and why would I believe you.'

'Please believe me. You were punished by the imperial court for trying to kill you own brother, the future duke. And you are a noble. Someone who has bloodline ability. Your ability is telekinesis.'

'Please believe me.'

.............................................….

"Everything makes sense now. Sorry old man Ren I liked you a lot but after getting betrayed by those people whom I once considered to be my family, I find it very difficult to trust others."

As I said those words I looked at the disappearing carriage.

'I hope you will forgive me.'

Saying those words I turned around and decided to move to my destination. What? It doesn't make sense what is going on. It is pretty simple-

(Oh, enchanting it with blood means that other than that person no one else can use these translation tools)

As soon as wore this ring that I got from the cloth bag I was able to understand what others were saying. That means it belongs to me. And since it has engraving of the Hemington duchy that means I am someone from the duchy. That means I am a noble.

(Once they reach an age of 15 they unlock this bloodline ability and can use it very easily)

That means I need to be at least 15 years old to use bloodline ability. After we went to that suspicious village while every other person was happy I decided to eavesdrop on what Nicolai and the old man were having discussion about.

(Hmm. I look around 17 years old. I see interesting.)

I looked 17 years old that means I can use bloodline ability. Not bad

('Leo what about you are you not going to eat it.'

Looking at old man Ren I smiled and said-'Sorry old man I am not hungry.')

Someone doesn't need to be smart to guess that the food was sedated and will fall unconscious if consumed. That why I decided to let other prisoners eat the food. And sure enough after eating in just few minutes they felt drowsy and fell asleep. I on the other hand didn't ate anything and just pretended to be asleep.

(Listen, you remember what your name is? It is Damien Hemington, second son of duke Hemington of Cetron Kingdom. One of the most powerful noble household. Your bloodline ability is Telekinesis. Use it.)

I realize about my origins and my speculation about being someone close to the Hemington family were right on the mark. And it seems that I can use my bloodline ability. Not bad. Because Nicolai was desperate he blurted out everything he knew. Honestly I was thinking of saving Nicolai and then using truth serum to extract information from him. But he just made my job easier.

(Please believe me. You were punished by the imperial court for trying to kill you own brother, the future duke. And you are a noble. Someone who has bloodline ability. Your ability is telekinesis).

Guess that explain the reason why I was a prisoner in this world as soon as I took over this body.

"Well looks like there is a long road up ahead."
