Chapter 014 - Origin Bloodline - Part 3

Solon was acting suspicious, but Finn didn't dig deep into it. It was clearly shown that Solon had a connection to them but he didn't want to express that. Every man has something to hide. It's normal.

They continued their lessons...

"Now that I already told you about current great 12 bloodlines, let's talk about our Shezmu Clan"

"The ancestor of the Shezmu Clan was interested in reading ancient texts. By chance he found out that, in the beginning there were only 3 major types of bloodlines. They were Titan bloodline, Monster bloodline and Elf bloodline."

"And they are the main people of these threa great territories?"

"Yes! Our ancestor did a lot of research on these bloodlines and found out that, these three bloodlines can co-exist together in a same living being and they compliment each other so greatly, that it seems they were once a single bloodline..."

"So, me..."

"Yes, you are the proof of that research. Our ancestor found these theory quite revolutionary and told his other 11 brothers about it. But they didn't show any interests. But he was stucked up to see the ultimate results."

"What did he do?", Finn asked.

"He wasn't interested in growing his power like other 11 clans, instead he started to refine his own blood. After quite some time he found that the more some one grow his abilities to a single aspects, that side of his blood line will grew strong and more concentrated. And after several generations, it will act like powerful new bloodline."

"Is that how the other 11 clans became so powerful? becasue every generation carried previous generations developed bloodline. And after stacking up the development for quite a few generations, their bloodline will became more concentrated and behave like a original bloodline?",Finn remember the book-maker's story and came up with a quick derivation of what Solon was trying to explain.

"Yes. You caught on. Seeing this phenomenon, our ancestor came up with a great idea. What will happen if fuse all 12 bloodlines again after several thousands of years? Won't the new born become more powerful than the titan ancestor was in his prime? And not only that, if we mix the Elf and Monster blood in that, won't we be able to create a powerful existence who may or may not lived before the ancient era."

"A overpowered allmighty being, who existed in the primeval universe...", Finn had a weird feeling.

"Finn, for several thousands of generations, the Shezmu clan planned this. And your pitiful ancestor was the result of those many years of efforts and suffering. But he is long gone now. And now..."

Solon pointed his finger towards Finn and said,

"After all these generations the seed has been passed on to you, the last descendant of the Shezmu Clan."

"Gulp", Finn gulp down some air. He remembered the last words of the chief of Galliyan's village. He was a kind and interesting old man. He took care of him when they found him weak and injured, outside the tomb-like ruin, outskirts of the village.

"Finn, the day will come, when you will learn about your truth. You will face a crossroad. At that time you will have to choose, which path you will walk for the rest of your life. Whatever path you will choose, my blessings will be always with you. Please take care of Galliyan for me.", this was that senile old man's dying words. Finn stucked in a great peril.

"So the time has come...huh, old man?...it was too sooner than I thought....sigh...", these thoughts just came to Finn's mind. He faced towards Solon, and said...

"Phew...what choices do I have?"

"Don't you already know that?"

"Right...I want to think about it for sometime."

"We are both from the Shezmu clan but you are the direct descendant of them...My bloodline is also mixed. But I only have three type of bloodlines. And my Shezmu bloodline isn't as pure as yours, I can't absorb other bloodlines like you. You are our hope, you can't die like this. You have to choose. It's better have a firm goal and walking aimlessly...", Solon tried to push him a little.

"Such a dilemma...it is..."

"It is...", Solon nodded while pretending to thinking a lot. Surely, he was trolling Finn.

"I never knew, I was so special...damn"

"This bloodline of yours...is no longer Shezmu Clan's. You have surpassed them. You'r future is Shezmu clan's future. But at the same time, it's not anymore. Your blood is quite special. Our clan gave it a name to distinguish your bloodline from other 11 great clans'."

"What name did they give it? All mixing ancestral great bloodline?"

"Pfft...you suck at naming...it's called, Origin Blood"

"Origin Blood...huh...The blood which is more original than others'...or...the original primal blood...I see", Finn thought deeply, trying to understand the inetention of the naming.

"It seems, you are actually interested in your bloodline..."

"Me? Of course I'm, but it's also a burden...what choice do I have? I just stepped my foot in the world and everyone is seeing me as an enemy. I wished to be free and wander arround the world, gathering the vast amount of knowledge....sigh...now if I don't adapt to this situation I will die even before entering a library."

"I see...so you chose to go on this thorny path?", Solon was continously trolling Finn.

"What chose? Give me an option and I will leave this path...more like I'm stucked on this path.", Finn's face was looking like a cold pizza. He was very unsatisfied with this peril situation.

"Then what will you do?"

"I will try to live a long and healthy life...anyway it is..."

"Good, you have a perfect goal now. Direction is what matters, not the speed."

"...sigh..."

"Ok ok, don't sigh cntinuously like an old man. Now you know about Shezmu clan's general history. Now we learn Shezmu clan's abilities."

"...sigh..."

"..."
