Chapter 1056 Secret Tomb
“Since our family found such a map, it took thousands of years before one of our ancestor’s descendants reached the minimum requirements to understand it.”
Wilfred’s mother continued her explanation. “To see the secrets of the Secret Tomb, someone has to be at least a Spiritual King. Otherwise, it is simply impossible. Because of this and due to the misfortune of fate, our family had been hampered for thousands of years due to the premature deaths of the ancestor’s descendants.”
“Fortunately, as time passed, the number of people with the ancestor’s blood in our family increased, and someone finally managed to enter that place and see the secret instructions.”
“From that day on, our family discovered the meaning behind that map, the treasure in our state!”
Abby’s eyes sparkled in curiosity after those words were spoken, full of interest in knowing more about the history of that family.
Minos continued to stare at that level 57 woman as if telling her to continue. He then listened. “The descendant of our ancestor who first got to see that place as it actually is discovered four things.”
Wilfred’s mother showed the index finger of her right hand to Minos and continued. “First. He discovered what I just spoke of, the need for a Spiritual King with our ancestor’s blood to access that place fully.”
“Through this information left in there, we discovered that the map found by our ancestor was a high-level ancient tool. Such a thing was developed to genetically pass on the key to the Secret Tomb through the one who first touched it.”
“A genetic key?” Minos and Abby finally understood that person’s previous words.
“That’s right.” She nodded with a serious look on her face. “There isn’t much information about it, but we have concluded that after touching that map, our ancestor had part of his genetics altered. That part was passed on to his descendants, something that allowed many of us to become candidates for what is in the Secret Tomb.”
“Oh?” Minos looked at Abby, finally understanding what had happened to her. ‘So that put her on the list of candidates, huh?’
But he soon returned his attention to Wilfred’s mother’s speech. “Because of this, eventually, our ancestor’s lineage became the main lineage of the Walker family. So, at present, Blake, my son, and I can access that place.”
The former queen of the Kingdom of the Wave, Wilfred’s mother, was the daughter of the son of the brother of William Walker’s grandfather, her late husband. Since the late King Walker’s grandfather belonged to the lineage of that ancestor, this woman also shared that heritage.
After explaining that, she made the two-finger gesture and continued. “Second. Once one of the inheritance candidates in that place reaches level 60, that person will be able to start the test left by someone entitled Goddess of Life.”
“Goddess of Life?” Minos and Abby looked at each other since they had both discovered that map at the headquarters of the Scourges of the Devil, an organization that worshipped the teachings of the God of Death.
But after looking at each other for a moment, neither continued to find it strange for much longer. After all, because of some of the records they got from that place, they both knew that the Scourges of the Devil had stolen that place from another organization.
That way, it was not so strange to find out that there was a clue in that place from a different God than the one worshipped by those now-dead assassins.
“Hmm, that’s the name on the Secret Tomb.” She then made the three-finger gesture. “Third. Once a Spiritual Emperor with the genetic key enters there and proceeds with the test, that person must be prepared to follow through with such a thing to the end, since supposedly the treasure left there will begin to degrade once the test begins.”
“Fourth. There is a requirement regarding the Physique rating of the candidates. The minimum to proceed with the test is Saint-grade.”
“Saint-grade, huh? King Walker had that Physique?” Abby asked in curiosity, not seeing a problem in that since she had such a thing.
“Yes, Ma’am, he had…”
High-level physiques were rare to find. However, a person’s chances of passing on their physical quality to their offspring were significantly higher than passing on their cultivation talent.
For example, a couple with the same degree of Physique had almost a 90% chance of passing it on to their children. On the other hand, the chance of a couple with the same degree of talent passing it on to their children was about 50%.
Because of this, keeping the degree of Physique within a family was relatively easier, and despite the rarity, it was not so strange to find people with Saint-grade Physiques in this region.
Yes, it was rare, only seen once every tens of millions of people. But even so, there were at least a dozen people in the region with Physiques of this quality.
William had been one of these people, as well as the late King Cromwell, these three individuals from the Walker family, Abby, and some from the Snow Kingdom and Kingdom of the End.
Anyway, after he finished listening to that woman’s explanation, Minos was curious to know what was in this Secret Tomb.
He looked into Abby’s eyes and saw that she was even more excited than he was and asked. “Do you want to see this place? Unfortunately, we won’t be able to do anything now, but it won’t hurt to take a look.”
“Yes, let’s do that.” She stood up from his lap, already making a motion to take one of his hands and pull him along.
She looked at those four people and said. “Show us the way. We want to see that place.”
Blake and Wilfred then looked at each other, thinking that it would make no difference to these people that did not have the genetic key to go to such a place. After all, with only a piece of old paper left behind by the Scourges of the Devil, what could they have but curiosity?
But since they did not want to piss off the most powerful woman in the region, they could only lead the way for those two. “This way…”
And then, while being watched by the many guards in the surrounding area, the group of three women and three men made their way out of that royal hall.
The Secret Tomb was located precisely in the middle of Athela, in the basement of the Walker family’s royal palace, the most well-protected place in that state!
…
Soon the six people finished going down the flight of stairs that led to the most extreme point of the basement of that area, a place with the typical design of a crypt.
Several torches were burning and illuminating the surroundings while royal guards dressed in red guarded the entrance.
But when those level 55 Spiritual Kings, the ones left to do this job after Minos’ previous visit, saw them, each one quickly left their positions, making room for the newcomers to pass.
Passing those people, Minos and Abby finally reached the inside of that crypt, where there was a statue in the central part, which was the same size as the one in the Scourges of the Devil headquarters.
“Oh?” Minos looked at that place with interest as he finally spread his spiritual sense around the surroundings.
After that, he, as well as Abby, Blake, Wilfred, and this man’s mother, saw the symbols on a black plaque on that statue appear, something that others could not see.
“Hmmm, looks like you didn’t lie…” Minos commented in a low voice, surprising those people once again.
“What? You can see?” Blake said in amazement as he looked at Minos, already feeling his family would miss such a thing.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect to see that either…” Minos smiled as he looked at his Spatial Kingdom ring, seeing that thing glowing. ‘Looks like I forced my way onto the list of such candidates, hehehe.’
‘Apparently, Herincus Longus was much better than this Goddess of Life. Or was this person not a real God?’ He wondered, remembering that, as with the case of the God of Death, there were no records of a Goddess of Life.
‘Hmm, could it be that the Spiritual Church erased the titles of these people from history? Why would they do that?’
…
