Chapter 1382 – The Keys!

Landon didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

Who would’ve known that her Bloodline was linked to that of the Holy Core, somehow?

‘System, why am I only hearing about this bow?’

[‘… No comment host.’]

Veins popped off on the sides of Landon’s head.

Tech!

Of course, the bloody system wouldn’t have anything to say!

Damn bastard!

Forget it.

Landon took deep breaths, trying his hardest to maintain his smile when facing Paula.

If he continued to dwell into the system’s remarks, then wouldn’t he have high blood pressure before he turned 30?

Landon listened to Paula, realizing that these headaches were a common thing for her, except these past few months, things seemed a little more different.

“Mrs. Paula, so you mean since the summer of last year, these headaches have been coming in stronger than they used to?”

Paula nodded her head vigorously.

“Yes, your majesty. It’s just as you’ve said.”

In the palace, she could typically relax her guard and call Landon more intimately.

But when outsiders, even the doctors, were called in, she typically switched up, calling him his majesty.

Her identity was that of someone who had once helped him in Arcadina back then.

Thus, he brought her to the palace to pay her back for her generosity.

This was the identity she used.

That said, she could still call Landon intimately in public, but some people with evil intentions might think she’s rude, pompous or taking advantage of his gratitude.

All across Pyno, she was sure that Landon had enemies who disagreed with his vision, trying to make things harder for him.

That’s why she didn’t want to be used against him in any way.

.

Landon rubbed his hands against his chin, deeply analyzing her words.

‘System, care to explain further?’

[‘My stupid Host, her headaches are entirely her fault.’]

‘What do you mean? And how does this relate to the Holy Core?’

[‘Host, to fully understand her situation, one must look at her ancestral background.’]

Oh?

Landon raised a brow, listening to the system’s explanations and insults.

Bottom line, Paula’s ancestor ages ago was one of those in charge of transporting the Holy core to its resting place.

It was strange to say that Paula’s ancestors originated from Tenola.

And back then, they were one of the fiercest and most trusted people, who, along with others, placed the core in the mountain.

One could say that back then, these people probably had Wuxia Cultivation kind of strength.

They probably jump in with the holy without using ropes or anything of that sort.

The heavens made them that strong because of how terrifying the beasts back then truly were.

Even now, with many still extinct, the present beasts were still too terrifying. So imagine the past?

Well, Paula’s ancestor that started it all was blessed with the power to locate whatever one was looking for by having visions or focusing on touch.

They could also find people if one gave them personal information on that person.

Sometimes, they also had visions about certain people too.

They could also see themselves too.

But it was necessary to note that this power was different from Lucia’s, whose own could only be beneficial for Zalipnia.

In Lucia’s case, it always involved visions which sometimes caused her to fall into that state for hours, days… And the longest was for a week.

Plus, Lucia couldn’t find people, objects or animals at will.

The difference was there.

.

Back to the matter of Paula’s ancestor, from the system’s words, he and 4 other ancestors were the ones who held the core and placed it down in the mountain amidst the presence of others.

And during the exact moment when the core touched the ground, something happened that transformed them into Keys.

That’s right.

All 5 of them had the power to unlock the Holy Core, unleashing its full capacity.

And only a person with an awakened blood could do it.

Again, because of this connection with the core, these 5 have purer and stronger bloodlines than any other ‘blessed people.’

And as they say, more power called for more concerns.

And unlock other blessed people, those who have these unique bloodlines, need to fully awaken them to stop the headaches.

The Holy Core’s powers were strong!

So it needed them to train, hone and focus their energy on controlling it all.

However, how could Paula know this?

One should know that it wasn’t every generation or everyone that turned into blessed people.

For example, take Astar’s situation.

He was blessed with a ridiculous strength that needed ample food to maintain.

But look at his siblings, father and even his grandfather… No one had this power.

In some cases, it could take up to 10 generations before a person with an activated bloodline turns up.

Things die, people forget, and many facts become myths instead.

Paula might not be aware of her activated bloodline.

All she knew was that since the age of 17, she had constantly been having this headache.

.

‘System, so she and Tilda are the only descendants having this bloodline?’

[‘That is correct, host. Since the dawn of age, power holders have dwindled. And thousands and thousands of years later, only a few still stand’]

‘In other words, the enemy who wanted the core might come for her, yes?’

[‘Host, see you’re not that stupid after all.’]

‘Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes… Whatever you say.’

Landon replied, restraining himself from rolling his eyes heavenwards.

5 Keys!

For the T.O.E.P to have successfully located the core after hundreds and thousands of years of searching meant that they should also have some knowledge of the 5 Keys!

Maybe their knowledge might be limited. But still, Landon wouldn’t dare to assume them clueless.

No! It was best to prepare for the worst.

Which brought him to his next question – Just how many KEYS had they found?

They needed a descendant with a fully activated Bloodline that hailed from those 5.

So just how many had they captured?

Did they know about Paula? Were they looking for her, or was he overthinking on this matter?

Landon’s expression turned grim.

Too much uncertainty.
