Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 595  White Scroll

Giant Tower Academy:

The Giant Tower Headmaster is sitting down in his room. But his eyes were staring at the ancient yellow scroll. The scroll looked empty.

He has tried many methods to inspect the scroll. But he wasn't able to find anything interesting in it.

He had almost thought it was fake. If not for Glass City Auction House's assurance, he wouldn't have bought this item. The Auction Manager said that only warriors with lightning elements can use this scroll.

At first, he didn't believe it. But right now, he is tired out after testing. When he was observing, he suddenly felt a tightening in his heart.

"Argh"

A muffled grunt left his mouth. In a second, his face looked distorted.

How could it be? He consumed the forbidden potion an hour ago. So the Headmaster was confused and terrified.

The pain was so overwhelming that his eyes were bulging out.

The next second, his room was engulfed in darkness. In the blink of an eye, the darkness disappeared. But there was one more person in the room.

His face was covered with mash. He is wearing a black tuxedo. When he appeared. The Headmaster's pain disappeared all of a sudden.

The headmaster's pupil shrank. He stood up from the seat in fear. No doubt the person in front of him is mysterious.

"Sir?" He said in a trembling tone.

Hearing that the person looked at the Headmaster and said, "Well, you seem to be enjoying your life these days."

His voice was neither male nor female. It's a strange mixed tone.

The headmaster shuddered in fear. If you antagonize this person, then he will end up dead.

"Sir, forgive me. If I did something wrong," He answered in a low tone. He is afraid to meet his eye gaze.

A few minutes later,

The mysterious person ignored his words but he set his eye on the scroll. Then he thought of something.

"Are you guys using this to attract that kid?" He asked.

The headmaster sighed in relief. Then he explained the whole thing again.

A few minutes later,

The mysterious person remained silent for a moment before saying, "If you fail this time, I'll choose some other pawn. I want this kid dead."

The Giant Tower Headmaster broke out in a cold sweat. Then he fiercely nodded his head.

"Sir, what about Carlos Kent?"

"He backstabbed us," He said.

"Backstabbed us?"

"Harumph, I say he backstabbed you. Apart from killing that kid, you have to deal with him as well."

"I can't make any public experience, I can only operate from shadows," After saying that the mysterious person disappeared.

The room went dark before returning to normal.

The headmaster saw that the person was gone. But he remained standing still. His entire back was drenched in a cold sweat.

"Zack Lockwood"

"Carlos Kent" He uttered those two names in extreme anger.

This time he got a difficult assignment. He is not worried about the lightning kid. But it's difficult to find Carlos Kent.

But right now, he decided to hand over the scroll to that dying old man.

...

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

When I left the dormitory. A group of people blocked the path. Looking at them, I immediately recognized them.

They are none other than the Flame faction thugs. Among them, I saw a familiar face.

"Kane Patrick," I uttered.

My appearance immediately caused a commotion.

"You are here. We are just waiting for you," Kane Patrick stepped forward.

"We got the item from Glass City. I think Vice-dean will be talking to you soon. So be ready for the duel," Kane said with a small chuckle before he left with his group.

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. I didn't expect them to get the item so soon.

Then I head towards the dining hall. Where I saw Ernest was waiting for me outside.

"He seems to be alright," A faint smile appeared on my face.

When I got closer. Ernest greeted me with a smile.

"Are you shocked?"

"See, I told you my injuries weren't that serious?" Ernest said with a smile.

But I am still observing his body from top to bottom. I couldn't help but think of a weird old man. His healing skills are great.

Then we walked into the dining hall. After receiving the food, we sat down on the empty seat to sit down.

While eating, Ernest starts to speak about the internal competition.

"Everyone got selected. But it's a pity there was not no one from our faction except you."

"The rest of the students in our faction didn't seem to be interested in the academy affairs," Ernest said.

Hearing that I raised my eyebrows.

"Why?" I asked back.

Ernest was stunned. Then he saw Zack was interested in the topic. So he continued.

"Most of the students in our institutions have a family background. So they usually spend most of their time with their family."

"Few of them use academy resources to retreat."

"Only people like us are still showing our heads to the public," Ernest said.

Then he thought of something.

"I almost forgot about our faction head. He seems to have disappeared. I don't know what he is doing right now?" Ernest added.

Hearing that my eyes flickered. Then we continued to eat.

After having dinner, we walked out of the hall.

Soon, I was called by the dean. I thought it must be related to the auction item.

After separating from Ernest, I head to the office building.

When I arrived at the spot. I saw 2 people. Dean Rebecca and Vice-Dean Franklin standing a little distance away from each other.

Looking at their expressions, they seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Don't tell me. They are waiting for me," I said in my heart.

When I got closer. Both of them turned their attention towards me.

"It took you so long," Franklin said with a dissatisfied voice.

Then he disappeared from the spot. Seeing that I turned toward the dean.

She appears to be in a bad mood. Looks like she didn't forgive me.

"Dean?" I said.

"Let's go, we don't have time for useless talks," Rebecca said.

The next moment, I felt my mind go blank. Before I know it we are heading towards the Supreme Elder's place.

Soon we reached the Supreme Elder's mansion. The old guy is still resting in the front garden. But I can feel that he is far away from death.

Tud~

Then we landed on the ground. Beside the old man, Franklin stood quietly.

After dropping me off, Dean Rebecca didn't leave.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and took a white color scroll from his sleeves.

Seeing that my eyes flickered. At the same time, I felt a throbbing sensation from the star rune.

"It's real," I was shocked to the core. If the rune is flickering, then the item is undoubtedly a lightning item.

I thought it would be a consumable treasure. But it looks like that scroll might contain some text. A hint of longing appeared in my eyes.

to that as well, I can give this item to you right now."

Apart from the lightning-finger technique. I didn't get any technique after that. So I'm interested in seeing the item.

The old man noticed Zack's gaze.

"Zack Lockwood, this is your promised item. But there is one condition. If you agree to that as well, I can give this item to you right now."

"What do you say?" The old man asked.

My heart was in turmoil. The old man seems to be smiling. But my senses are warning me of a danger.

Dean Rebecca frowned as well. She found that the old man was ignoring her existence. She is also feeling bad in her heart.

On the other hand, Franklin Madden is smiling ear to ear.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, I looked at the elder and said, "Elder, what's your condition?"

The supreme elder laughed out loud before saying, "Zack, you are courageous. But first, listen to my condition."

"The duel between you and Kane Patrick is not going to be ordinary. But a life and death duel."

"The winner will leave alive and the loser will be dead," the old man said.

Hearing that my expression changes drastically. "The old man has finally lost it," I said in my heart.

Thank goodness, Jonathan was here. If not, I'm afraid it's difficult to save my life.

"Elder, are you serious?" Rebecca asked out loud. She finally wasn't able to hold her thoughts.

The Supreme Elder is acting weird. Franklin's expression turned solemn.

"Dean, this is not a place for you to intervene," Franklin Madden said.

The old man's eyes turned cold as well. Instead of answering, he looked at Zack. Then he stretched his hands to hand over the scroll.

"Kid, if you are okay with that condition. You can accept this scroll," The old man said.

Dean Rebecca starts to feel bad for Zack. She has realized that Zack's warnings are true. The Supreme Elder has changed. She didn't know what to do now.

On the other hand, I looked at the scroll. The lightning rune in my mind is constantly flickering.

I don't know why. But I feel this scroll is important.
