Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 50 Old scroll II

With no other choice, Kyle reluctantly gazed at the small pile of old artifacts and scrolls.

Among the pile, a scroll that seemed to be relatively old caught his eyes due to the light glow it was emitting.

Kyle pointed at the scroll while looking at the dwarf.

"What's this?"

The dwarf gazed at the scroll with a confused expression before his eyes showed a bright light, like a con artist who just found a way to sell a defective product.

"Hoho Kid you have a good eye. It's incomplete but it's a map of the Tower."

Kyle was stunned, he gazed at the dwarf with blank eyes and turned around to leave.

Map of the Tower?

Don't you know even con artists lie about something which is actually possible?

How are you selling something not even the Kings have.

If you had said the same thing to someone else he would have probably beaten you to death!

The dwarf who was smiling smugly saw Kyle leaving, he hurriedly picked up the map and appeared in front of Kyle.

"Kid I am telling the truth. If you leave today you will regret this decision your whole life!"

Kyle looked at the serious eyes of the dwarf who seemed to be oozing innocence.

Ridiculous!

He wanted nothing but to run away, however no matter how much Kyle tried the dwarf didn't let him go.

In the end, Kyle had no choice but to buy the scroll from the dwarf.

The moment Kyle brought the scroll and turned around, finally getting rid of the clingy dwarf he heard Bia exclaiming with surprise.

-'Wow magic.'

'What?'

Kyle turned around to see what was she referring to and his worldview changed. There was nothing behind him, no dwarf, no weapon, no artifact...

Just like magic the dwarf seemed to have disappeared within seconds.

'Don't tell me I just interacted with a ghost?'

Not wanting to stay at that suspicious place anymore Kyle hurriedly left, heading straight toward the hotel he was staying at.

.....

Meanwhile, in another empty place hidden behind some small houses. Three young individuals wearing Royal clothes were angrily talking to some guards.

Those three belonged to Kingdom Whiteland, among them the one wearing the most luxurious clothes was a prince.

He angrily shouted at one of the trembling guards.

"Did you find the scroll?"

"I am fucking gonna kill that bastard who stole all my belongings while I was sleeping."

The guard didn't dare to look at the angry prince.

"Your Highness Kelvin, we are trying our best."

The prince angrily clenched his fists and kicked the empty ground.

"This is your best? The Tower will open tomorrow what's the point of finding the scroll afterward?"

"If Father finds out I lost the scroll which he acquired after so much trouble, he is going to punish me. Dam it!"

Among the two individuals standing behind the Prince, one sighed with a distant gaze before trying to pacify the prince's anger.

In the end, there was nothing they could do.

The thief was too cunning he stole everything not even leaving behind their accessories, while everyone was sleeping.

Who could have thought that something like this could happen at the place where various powerful individuals from all the Kingdoms were gathered?

But unbeknownst to them this type of thing happened to almost half of the people who were here to enter the Tower.

And the one behind all this had already gone far away after completing his monthly quota.

....

On the hand, after leaving the market Kyle arrived in front of the hotel. He sighed while looking at the scroll he was holding.

He opened the scroll to see what was inside.

There were three portions inside the scroll each with a different name and structure.

But all three portions showed a forest and mountains, inside the forest and on the mountains there were also some red and golden cross marks.

Kyle sighed again not understanding a single thing, he closed the scroll.

He was going to enter the hotel and go to his assigned room to rest when a large hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Kyle turned around to see who it was. He almost freaked out seeing the Librarian standing behind him with a smile.

"Finally found you!"

Kyle laughed dryly and politely greeted the Elder who seemed to be tightly holding his shoulder.

"Elder, is there anything you want from me?"

An innocent question, with four eyes looking directly at Elder Han.

Elder Han who was looking at Kyle, saw Bia and was intrigued by her color.

His hand left Kyle's shoulder and tried to catch Bia but with a horrid expression she flew away.

-'I am leaving. He is too scary to deal with.'

Kyle cursed Bia in his head, whenever he needed her help she always run away without looking back.

Elder Han looked at Bia's fading image with confusion for a while before focusing on Kyle again.

"It's nothing, you must be tired after walking around so go and rest."

With a wide smile, Elder Han asked Kyle who was sweating buckets to go and rest.

Kle didn't even look back and hurriedly entered the hotel leaving the elder alone.

Seeing, Kyle fading back Elder Han had a smirk on his face.

'I knew it, his talent is not (B)-Rank. Comparable to those two young monsters his talent is lacking but (SS)-Rank talent is also considered top-notch.'

The moment Elder Han touched Kyle's shoulder, he used a hidden artifact to check his talent and just like he thought Kyle's talent was high.

'But why did that idiot George say he had only (B)-Rank talent? Did the orb inside the Hall make a mistake?'

Also, the bird sitting on top of Kyle's head was not ordinary. Elder Han had seen the bird before, it was like any ordinary bird but now when he was closer he saw a small glow emitting from her body.

That bird was (E)-Rank!

It was the first time the Elder saw a bird with such high rank.

'Is it a bounded beast? This kid sure knows how to make me more interested in him.'

...

Meanwhile, the moment Kyle entered the hotel he was greeted by Nine, Alec and all the other students who were eating together.

He also joined them, but suddenly Alec saw the scroll he was holding.

"What's this."

Kyle laughed while showing everyone the scroll.

"It's the map of the Tower."

Not even a single person believed his words and everyone started laughing. Nine also joked.

"Wow, such a precious item. Dam! Where the hell did you find it."

Kyle looked at Nine seriously,

"What, you want it. It's going to cost a fortune."

While, everyone was joking and talking only one person had his hand shaking continuously. It was Alec.

With an expression filled with regret, he promised himself to never use the appraisal skill on Kyle or anything related to him.

Carcel who was sitting near Alec saw his expression and stopped eating.

"What happened?"

Alec gazed at Carcel with a blank smile.

"Nothing. I am just pondering on my life."

"What?"

Not getting any answers from Alec, Carcel looked away.

In the end, Carcel could never understand the pain Alec was feeling after using the appraisal skill on the scroll.
