Chapter 302: Bloodline

Chapter 302: Bloodline



Not far from the Morst Swordsmen Branch.

Located on the second floor of Mona Cafe by the street.

Ren and Olena were sipping coffee and chatting casually.

Olena was naturally curious about whom Ren was going to grant the 10% shares of Axson Auction House's Minster Branch.

At that moment, she glanced out the window and saw a luxurious carriage slowly pulling up to the cafe's entrance.

Most people wouldn't choose to visit a cafe early in the morning, so it was highly likely that the owner of the carriage had arrived.

This made Olena's heart flutter with excitement, thinking, 'The owner must have arrived! But which one is she, the twin-tailed maiden or the flame-haired maiden?'

[Congratulations! Your Agility attribute has increased!]

"An outstanding figure? I haven't heard of that."

"Hmm?"

Olena explained from the side.

But a question arose. Even if it was faint, there should be something to guide and enhance it; it couldn't come from nothing, right?

"Three days from now, Master Mogaro will meet with you."

Olena explained from the side.

Not long after, he returned with a light yellow parchment in his hand.

Although young, Ren was no ordinary man. His sculpted, muscular build was akin to that of a fine steed or a prized horse. But it would be odd for a fine horse to pull a carriage, wouldn't it?

The private room now only had Ren and the beautiful woman.

"Of course not. If there was, my father and I wouldn't be in our current state." Mother Emma glanced at Ren with a peculiar look and said.

Ren pondered for a while and shook his head slightly.

"Also, what does the hidden genetic fragment mentioned in the system prompt represent?"

But after quickly reaching the entrance, she hesitated and slowed down, not daring to go to the second floor or listen in on the nearby private room.

What if she disturbed them? That would be counterproductive.

A few seconds later, Ren completed the first form, followed by the second.

Although he only had seven Golden Skill Points left, Ren decided to add one point to Dragon Breath Technique.

He could sense that things were developing in a positive direction.

Once she became a shareholder of Axson Auction House, not only would these problems be easily solved, but the guild would also enter a new phase of rapid development, an opportunity she didn't want to miss.

But the next moment, Olena's body stiffened slightly, and she was taken aback!

Immediately, on the Legendary Weapon Master's skill panel, the level 14 Dragon Breath Technique flickered and dropped to level 13, with the words 'Unknown Breath Technique' appearing.

"Hello, may I help you, sir?"

As expected, the beautiful woman Olena had seen earlier appeared at the entrance.

This made the woman's face turn slightly red, but she was considerate enough to nod and offer a passionate kiss. Her hands began to slide down, and after a while, she shyly wiped the corner of her mouth.

As a result, the number of Dragon Breath Technique training poses reached a full thirty-two.

"No!"

"Well, father, what about your family? Are there any outstanding figures among your ancestors?" Ren still couldn't give up and turned to his father, Elder Rain, for an answer.

She had already called three times; otherwise, it would have been truly broken. "Knock knock!"

Ren read the system prompt several times but still felt puzzled.

"Hmm?" The female staff member's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in a slightly stammering voice, "Sir, could you please repeat that?"

[Congratulations! Your Strength attribute has increased!]



The system was annoying at times, suddenly turning into a riddle.

Additionally, it was indeed inappropriate for Ren to worry about these business matters.

Olena's heart couldn't help but ignite with curiosity.

At this point, it was already extremely difficult to enhance the quality of the breath techniques through fusion with excellent-quality breath techniques.

"Please list all the excellent-level breath techniques. I want to exchange for a breath technique."

Meanwhile, Ren was puzzled by the sudden increase in Olena's heart rate.

The reason was simple.

She was certain that when she was in the private room, the curtains were open, and she had seen Jennifer enter.

"Jennifer, let's make this decision happily." Without outsiders present, Ren's hand naturally rested on the soft parts of the beautiful woman.

"Ren, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you something important." Olena averted her gaze, but her nose had already caught the scent.

The exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio was so impressive that even from a woman's perspective, one couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beauty!"

"Aside from these two, I don't want the Flame-Winged Serpent Technique or the Flame-Tailed Scorpion Technique. I'll take the rest." Ren pointed at the two lines of white text on the black wisdom tablet in front of him and said.

Driven by curiosity about the effects of the Legendary Breath Technique training, Ren quickly headed to the training room and began his practice.

Could it be? Ren, the esteemed lord, was interested in pulling a cart with a small horse? But soon enough, Olena realized what he was up to.

Ren then recalled the newly acquired 'Dragon Breath Technique' in his mind and reviewed it.

Thus, Ren decided to invest more points into the Dragon Breath Technique.

This increased the number of motions in the Dragon Breath Technique from 32 to 36, but his level dropped once again, falling to Lv12.

As the Dragon Breath Technique reached Lv14, Ren felt something like a 'lock' deep within him, which suddenly shattered with a 'crack,' and something surged forth.

Pouring a cup of Yorton tea, Ren sat by the desk, opened the parchment that recorded the 'Great Firebird Technique,' and began to read attentively.

"Even at Lv13, the Dragon Breath Technique's effects are so significant, just like when I first encountered the Great Bear Technique," Ren thought to himself.

Soon, Ren returned to his room with the four remaining high-quality Breath Techniques that he hadn't exchanged yet.

The first motion alone took him half a minute to complete, a stark contrast to the previous high-quality Breath Techniques that he could finish in just a few seconds.

After practicing for about half an hour, when Ren reached the 25th motion, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, though this was without him consciously controlling it.

After all, he had already developed all he could.

"Did my attributes increase?"

Not only did the intensity of his attributes improve, but it seemed that some subtle changes were also occurring deep within his body.

The beautiful lady immediately straightened up and quickly tidied her appearance.

Lately, she had been busy with business expansion, but with little progress.

"Jennifer, at 2 p.m., I'd like you to accompany me to the Axson Auction House branch to sign the equity transfer contract. Is that okay?" Olena asked. "Yes, Lady Olena," Jennifer replied.

This further confirmed Ren's suspicion that the number of motions, perhaps 30, might be a critical factor for the system to distinguish between high-quality and legendary Breath Techniques.

"Could it be that there are some unknown secrets in my bloodline?" Ren wondered.

After bidding farewell to the beautiful lady, Jennifer, Ren returned to his residence at the branch.

At that moment, a system notification sounded: 【Ding! Host's Great Firebird Technique has reached the minimum level to merge with the Dragon Breath Technique. Current conditions met. Fusion requires 2 Golden Skill Points. Confirm fusion?】

"My dear, there's no need to put the shares under my name. Just write them under..."

"Hmm? Ren, why did you suddenly think of this?"

In the Exchange Hall.

Upon closer inspection, Olena confirmed her judgment—the lady was well-maintained, but she was undoubtedly older than her.

She couldn't understand why her son would ask such a seemingly foolish question.

After spending several hours and 8 Golden Skill Points, Ren learned all four Breath Techniques and integrated them into the 'Dragon Breath Technique.'

With so little known, he had no leads to follow.

"Yes, I understand. I believe I have enough Task Evaluation Medals and Merit Points, right?" Ren replied to the young female staff member's kind reminder with a smile.

A 10% stake in the Axson Auction House branch? This statement left Jennifer dumbfounded. Axson Auction House? She was well aware that even a provincial branch had extremely lucrative interests and complex connections behind it.

For a moment, Jennifer was stunned.

Read the error-free version on 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar.

"In that case, perhaps I can ask my mother about it during dinner tonight."

However, Jennifer had a vague feeling that the 10% stake was somehow related to the great battle that had taken place a couple of days ago.

"Mother, I'd like to ask about something. Did any of our ancestors come from a noble background? A rather prominent one?" Ren asked cautiously.

But from Olena's perspective, she could clearly see the lady's face.

"Yes, Lord Ren is the new star of the Swordsmen Morst Branch and will become a pillar of the Empire. I'm afraid you'll have to trouble Jennifer with the business matters," Olena said.

He mainly wanted to inquire about some matters related to the school.

Soon, the two women became acquainted.

"Lady Olena, this is Baroness Crowley, Jennifer, who is also my housekeeper and a member of the Warhammer Rose Guild," Ren introduced.

At this moment, Ren began to understand the system's description of the hidden genetic manifestation.

The lady was probably a few years older than her, which secretly caught Olena's attention as she glanced at Ren.

But on their way there, a system notification quietly arrived:

Since the Bius Assembly School seemed to have many Metal Spells, and Puppetry and Metal Spells had high compatibility, perhaps he would gain some additional benefits at the Bius Assembly School.

Jennifer never thought she would become a shareholder of the Axson Auction House. For now, the Phantom Spear Throw technique was still a distance away from being used with Golden Skill Points, and to advance to the next level, he only needed to reserve a little.

"Sir Ren, I have already made an appointment with Master Mogaro from the Biomechanical Engineering School."

But unexpectedly, it fell to her.

An hour later, the beautiful woman finally got to rest on the soft sofa, panting heavily, tidying up her slightly disheveled hair, and looking at Ren with fatigue: "Dear, you're really amazing."

Ren nodded and said, "This is great, thank you, Lady Olenna."

At this time, Olenna, who had just left the coffee shop, suddenly thought of something she had forgotten to tell Ren.

He decided not to consider this matter for now.

Lady Olenna was actually fond of dominant men? At the same time, she silently mourned the unknown Crowley Baron for a few seconds.

"However, the feeling of the energy surging inside my body seems to be still a bit lacking."

Because Ren's strength was too terrifying, as soon as her footsteps appeared in the corridor, Ren would immediately notice.

About half an hour later, Ren successfully completed the 22 movements of the Giant Firebird Breathing Technique.

Ren opened the attribute panel and found that there was an additional line of description: 【Dragon Bloodline (Diluted) effect: fire element affinity slightly increased, giant talent effect slightly increased, steel body talent effect slightly increased.】

"Jennifer, I think you should take charge of business matters. I have limited energy and no time to make good use of this resource." Ren added.

As he understood, his parents were just ordinary farmers in the town of Flashing Gold, and they had never mentioned any notable family history.

The female staff member confirmed and reminded again.

If the conditions were suitable, he would like to further study it.

However, when Ren focused his attention on his body, he could clearly feel a difference.

"Okay, Sir Ren."

Ren nodded secretly and chose "yes" immediately.

"Of course, Lady Olenna is beautiful, young, and holds an important position in the empire. It's really enviable." The elegant woman nodded slightly, smiling.

"I see, I plan to research it. Is it not allowed? Does the division have a rule that not all can be exchanged?" Ren looked puzzled.

But Ren seemed unsatisfied, and he pulled the curtain of the private room, easily placing the beautiful woman on the tea table. One hand grasped her slender waist, and the other lifted the hem of her long dress (omitted).

"Could it be that my family was a dragon bloodline in the distant past? Am I a descendant of the dragon blood?"

"That's okay. I'll just hold it for now. Becoming a shareholder of the auction house will be a great help to the Warhammer Rose Commerce Guild." The beautiful woman thought for a moment and didn't refuse anymore.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Ren returned to the mansion and had dinner with his family.

But Ren could feel that the changes brought by the new fire dragon breathing technique were becoming more and more apparent.

He decided to wait downstairs for a while.

Since Olenna mentioned that there were several masters from the Biomechanical Engineering School in Minster researching giant axe magic golems, he had been wanting to find an opportunity to talk to them.

"Sir Ren, Jennifer, I'll take my leave first. There are some things I need to prepare."

"I'll introduce you, Jennifer. This is Lady Olenna, the deputy official of the Swordbearer Division's task hall."

Early in the morning, Jennifer received a message from Ren, asking her to come to the Mona Coffee Shop, but she still didn't understand what was going on.

At this time, the system prompt came: 【Congratulations! Your physical attributes have been upgraded!】

"Sir Ren plans to allocate 10% of the shares of the Axson Auction House's Minster branch to your name, Jennifer. Although this matter has not been finalized and needs to be signed, it's likely to be no problem."

About half an hour later, Ren put down the scroll, leaned back in his chair, and thought. "This Giant Firebird Breathing Technique has only 22 movements, which seems inferior to the Firewing Snake Breathing Technique, but it should be enough to take the Fire Dragon Breathing Technique to a new level."

"Hmm, it still only requires 2 Golden Skill Points? That's good."

"Could it be that my ancestors were nobles of some bloodline in the distant past?"

Oh no, oh no, could it be that she has also caught Ren's eye? The elegant woman's mind was in disarray, and her white face turned red.

As he quickly washed up, he headed to the exchange hall.

"If I were to elevate it to a higher level..."

With Ren's packed schedule, it was natural that they couldn't chat for too long. Ren coughed lightly and said, "Lady Olena, regarding the shares, just put them under Jennifer's name. For business matters, she's more knowledgeable than I am."

"Of course, Lady Olena. Please do so," Ren nodded.

"This exercise..." Ren's eyes shone with excitement! After about a quarter of an hour, Ren finally completed the entire set of movements, and his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

"Please come in!"

The woman on the other side was an efficient-looking housewife with the unique sharpness of someone from within the system, but her face showed a hint of shyness. Could she be another of Ren's women? When she saw Jennifer's confused expression, Olena immediately understood. 'Hmm? Could it be that Ren hasn't mentioned this to her?'

"Ren, this lady is truly beautiful." Olena was even more shocked when she heard the other's title.

Without hesitation, Ren headed to the training room and immediately began practicing the Great Firebird Breathing Technique.

At dinner time—

The woman wore a light blue one-shoulder silk dress, with a string of pearls around her neck. Her exposed chest was fair and full, and it was impossible to cover it up.

"Just these two, and I want the rest."

At the same time, a vast memory regarding the new breathing technique flooded into Ren's mind. After absorbing this memory, the system prompted again: 【Ding! Detected host's Firebird Breathing Technique promotion to Legendary Breathing Technique. Host can gradually, through breathing techniques, transform hidden gene fragments in the bloodline into dominant ones.】

"Sir, there are still four excellent-quality breathing techniques remaining. Sir, according to the Swordbearer's rules, the breathing technique you exchange can only be used by yourself. Are you aware of this?"

"Ma'am, you seem to be around my age. If you don't mind, may I address you by your name, Jennifer?"

"No, sir. What I mean is, you will need to pay 4 Gold Medals and 7,800 Merit Points. That's quite a sum."

"Indeed, quantitative change leads to qualitative change!"

He had no idea.

Could it be that Ren had a preference for mature and charming housewives?

"Dong, dong, dong!"

"Master Mogaro's temperament is quite peculiar. I'll just say that the Great Axe Golem Guardian is something you obtained, and he finally agreed to meet you." Olena said with a hint of helplessness.

She wasn't lacking in confidence about this matter, but she wasn't sure how to thank Ren.

【Rename the new breathing technique?】

"Sss~"

"Huh? Lady Olena."

"Previously, due to insufficient Golden Skill Points, the refinement of the breathing technique was halted. Now, the total Golden Skill Points have reached 17, so this matter can continue."

After taking another shower, Ren felt refreshed and headed out again.

"This—"

"No, I forgot something." Ren suddenly realized something.

"As expected, this time it also only lowered by one layer. The more excellent-quality breathing techniques integrated, the smaller the improvement will be. Unless you can obtain a breathing technique of higher quality than excellent, it won't work."

"Moon Fury Breathing Technique, Frost Blade Panther Breathing Technique."

"Since you understand, sir, I'll handle it for you." The girl staff member immediately recalled that the Swordbearer before her was a Star-level expert, and her reminder seemed redundant.

The first move of the Great Firebird Breathing Technique was similarly strange, resembling the 'Toe Stand Pose' from Ren's past yoga practice, but for Ren, it was naturally effortless.

"Shares?" The beautiful housewife blinked her big, beautiful eyes in confusion.

Just as she turned around and headed back to the Swordbearer division's entrance, she glanced unintentionally and saw the woman she had just met. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The Legendary-level Firebird Breathing Technique guided and strengthened the dormant Dragon Bloodline gene fragments within him.

Because she only saw a voluptuous housewife stepping down from the carriage, holding her skirt, exuding a noble aura.

"Huh, this difficulty level..."

"However, there is a legend, just a legend."

"It's said that thousands of years ago, before the establishment of the Dragon Empire, there was a Dragon Kingdom on this land. The ruler of the kingdom had the special ability to contract with fire dragons, and our Caria family is said to be descendants of the kingdom's ruler."

"Pft! Don't be shameless, it's a legend from thousands of years ago. There's no record of it in the ancient books, so don't go around boasting." Mother Emma's exasperated words to Old Ren.

"Hey! It's my son asking me! I also said it's just a legend, not something certain." Old Ren spoke with an embarrassed expression.
