Chapter 562 Beings Of Importance
Though the documents talking about the important people within the Zeihardt clan was only a fraction of the thickness that talked about the hierarchy of the clan in detail, the number of people being talked about in the documents still numbered over a couple thousand.
Fortunately, after skimming a bit more through the documents, Valyr soon noticed that these people were separated between three levels of importance, with most of these people being designated a low level of importance.
Then again, even though a lot of them were considered low importance, the level of authority, strength, and the feats they’ve achieved were still a lot for the young man to take in. After all, the greatest achievement he had achieved so far was the creation of a new artifact.
In comparison to the things done by these people, his achievement could only be considered slightly more praiseworthy.
Moving away from the people that were of low importance, the young man soon found himself reading through the information of people that were designated a middle level of importance, all of which had profiles far more striking than the ones he had earlier.
Of course, with how Valyr continued to read through the documents, he eventually noticed that the distribution of people among the three levels of importance seemed to be triangular in form, with those at the middle level of importance numbering in the dozens.
On the other hand, those at the low level of importance made up most of the list.
Reading through some of the information of those at the middle level, Valyr wasn’t surprised to read through the feats some of them had achieved, as well as the positions they currently had in the clan.
In fact, the same could be said for their level of strength, with the weakest among them being in the middle levels of Rank 5. In comparison, the strengths of those at low importance varied between the early levels of Rank 2 to early levels of Rank 5.
After skimming through the people at middle importance, Valyr eventually found the most prominent one out of all of them, wielding a level of strength that only those with great talent could ever hope to wield.
The level of a Legend.
Matching the man’s strength were the numerable feats he had achieved, such as making a great contribution to multiple previous wars, as well as founding a couple of kingdoms under the Zeihardt Sovereignty.
“Julius Augustus Zeihardt…” muttered the young man, committing the name to memory. After all, even though the man wasn’t designated as one of those with the topmost level of importance, his contribution to the human race overall still wasn’t something to be trifled with.
“Now for the high levels.” Feeling like he had read through enough of the feats those at the middle level of importance had achieved, Valyr finally shifted his attention towards the people designated with a high level of importance, which numbered only five in total.
The first one was named Alexander, known for his contribution of expanding the human race’s territory by tenfold during one of his expeditions. Wielding a level of strength that already hovered around the level of Myths, he was known by many people as Alexander the Great Conqueror.
It did not help that the man was a Herald of the clan as well.
As for the second one, though she was not a Herald of the clan, she was still considered by many to have a level of talent equivalent to Heralds of the clan.
Taking on the name Claudine, she had made the Zeihardt clan prosper financially, prompting her to be sought after by the Sovereign because of it. Unsurprisingly, with her talent, she was also able to make the entire sovereignty prosper, starting a golden age whose effects were still palpable up to the present.
“Albert Rutherford Zeihardt…” Taking his time to digest the information he had obtained over the two previous people, Valyr moved onto the third person, whose feats seemed to be closely aligned with what he aimed to achieve in the future.
Being known as the Monarch of Innovation before Hal had awakened during the War of the Three Sovereignties, Albert had improved the level of technology throughout the entire sovereignty by a couple of centuries, allowing it to reach a level that considerably nearer to the Intermediate Middle Ages.πππ΅xt.π¬πΈπ
Then again, as one of the two people on the list that had transcended mortality and became a Myth, his pursuit for innovation still hasn’t stopped, establishing an organization solely dedicated to bringing the level of technology of the human race forward.
“Melissa Zeihardt.” Thinking for a bit that it would be nice to turn out into someone like Albert, the young man soon moved onto the fourth person on the list, which was actually a Herald of the clan like Alexander.
However, rather than utilize this gift to pursue greater personal power, she instead used it to form a military organization that had a level of power on par with the military of the Zeihardt Sovereignty.
But not only that, she had also made this military organization swear allegiance to the entirety of the Zeihardt clan, solidifying the clan’s position even further as the strongest clan of the human race.
“And with that…” Moving onto the final person on the list, Valyr wasn’t surprised to see this name pop up, especially with the position the person currently wielded within the clan. “We move on to Ophiuchus Zeihardt.”
Unlike the feats the first four people on the list had achieved, most of the feats Ophiuchus had achieved were all for the sake of the prosperity of the clan. Though he was not able to reach the same level of prominence as the others, he was able to emulate their achievements to a certain extent, being known by many as the Monarch of All Trades.
With such talent, it was no surprise that he had become the current leader of the entire Zeihardt clan, being the other person on the list to have transcended mortality and reach the level of Myths.

‘Huh. That was far easier than I thought.’ Hearing a notification sound resound in his mind, Valyr went ahead and took a look at it, briefly widening his eyes in surprise.
‘I should thank Braum.’ After that, he placed the documents he had received to the side, hoping to show his gratitude to the man that gave him the information in the first place.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to do so, Braum was nowhere to be found within the workshop, prompting the young man to think that the man had left while he was engrossed in reading through the documents.
“I’ll have to thank him some other time,” said the young man to himself, taking in a deep breath as he felt reenergized.
Doing a few light stretches after being stuck in one pose for so long, the young man eventually shifted his attention to the simple-looking box he had gotten from Julian, opening it with a slight smile.
“For now…”
“I guess it’s time to work on my armor.”
