Chapter 20 - Lucius' New Talent

Savra then suddenly entered the grand hall and she was being accompanied by the two slaves that Lucius had chosen.

Savra then immediately called Lucius and told him, "Lucius, the slave matters have been handled and now the slaves are finally yours."

Lucius looked back at Savra and walked toward her and bowed, "Thank you, Miss Savra, for handling the slaves."

Savra only smiled after being thanked, "Don't need to worry as they are a part of your conditions and I believe that they will be good use for you."

Lucius nodded and smirked, "Of course, Miss Savra." Lucius then looked at Ragnar and back to Savra.

"Matriarch, Patriarch. With both of you present, I want to know what the true reason is for sending me to the academy." Lucius asked both of them.

Savra then immediately answered it. "It is quite simple, actually. You need to learn more about the world as you are still young and also to know some people that could be useful to you."

Lucius, who heard it, was confused a bit and said, "Useful, huh? I doubt about that."

Savra then smiled and said, "Don't worry, as there must be some useful people and you can grow more there and also find potential customers."

Lucius then smirked after realizing it, "I see but still, as an elder of the Volcaria family, am I even allowed to work with others? Won't that conflict with the family's interests?"

Ragnar, who heard it, immediately laughed hard and said, "Of course you can! As long as they pay a good price for you and our family."

Lucius then nodded after being told by Ragnar. "I see, then it simplifies things around then."

Ragnar, who was still laughing, then said to Lucius, "Remember, you're part of this family now. What you build strengthens us all."

Lucius smiled and nodded. "Understood, Patriach. I won't dissapoint the family."

Savra then stepped forward and said to Lucius, "For now, settle in and prepare. You will go with Magnus a few days later."

Lucius nodded once more. "I understand, Matriarch. If it's alright, I'd like to take them to my room."

Savra then smiled and answered, "Of course you can, as they are your slaves. Now familiarize yourself with them."

Lucius then left the grand hall and went to his own room with his new two slaves. 

After arriving at his room, Lucius immediately told both of his slaves to wait at the corner of the room for now.

Both slaves nodded and immediately moved toward the corner of the room where they were now watching Lucius.

Lucius was now lying on the bed, smiling about what he was about to do next.

He then immediately called out his system, "System, list me talents that allow me to tame beastmen."

The system then immediately worked as it immediately showed a screen that listed the talents that Lucius had asked for.

[Flame Emperor]

[Flame God]

[Thunder Emperor]

[Thunder God]

[---]

Lucius, who read the long list, immediately understood it. "I see so only Emperor and God-Level Talents that can tame those beastmen."

Lucius then thought about Sallos' words, "It seems that those tamers who tried are only Lord-Level Talents or lower and that is why they fail."

He then immediately thought about his plan again and immediately told the system, "System, hack my body to have the highest level talent that allows me to tame any female beast tamer."

The reason why he wanted this specific talent was that he was thinking of changing the game. His beasts would not only become his strength but also his workers.

And also the reason why he wanted all women beast tamers was because he was a man and he liked women, and soon the system gave him one talent.

[Celestial God: 1,000,000 HP]

Lucius smirked as the system really had that kind of talent: "Perfect. I have ten million hack points. Spending one million on something this powerful is easy."

He then immediately about to confirm it but suddenly a new screen appear below it that seemed to be an option.

[Hidden Aura: 1,000,000 HP]

Lucius, who looked at the current price, immediately thought, "A hidden aura... it is quite useful but still it was a little bit expensive."

Lucius then suddenly thought about it again: "But I don't know anything about God-level talent and it could suddenly emit a great aura and if I don't hide it, I may be chased again like my past life."

After a moment, he immediately decided as he turned toward the system, "System, I want both. Activate them simultaneously."

The system then immediately reduced two million points from his reserve, and soon the hacking process started.

[Initiating: Celestial God Talent Acquisition]

[Initiating: Hidden Aura Integration]

The moment the system started the process, Lucius immediately felt a pain that was coursing through his body.

At first, it was only a small pain but suddenly it grew into a burning pain that was torturing his entire body, with him sweating a lot more than normal.

He could only curse the system for it: "Damn you! Why don't you warn me about this first before starting?"

The system didn't answer and Lucius was left to endure his pain and after a few minutes, the pain was gone from his body.

He could only smile after it and immediately told the system, "Show me my updated status. I want to see it."

[Name: Lucius]

[Species: Human]

[Talent: Celestial God]

[Level: 1 Star]

[Stats:]

[Str: F (1★)]

[Vit: F (1★)]

[Agi: F (1★)]

[Int: F (1★)]

[Tamed Beast: None]

His stats were still as usual as they were weak. Beast Tamers didn't have strong stats and they only counted on their beasts when figthing.

Lucius then wanted to test his new talent and soon looked at Luna, who was waiting on the corner of the room.

Lucius immediately called her, "Luna, come here. I want to try something." Luna could only nod as she walked toward Lucius.
