Capítulo 55: The red earring

Now that all four of the heirs stood in a row and stared at the five items laid upon the table, it was apparent that Zick looked out of place beside them. All three of the Heirs excluding Zick wore fine and artistic clothes Without a doubt made by a skilled couturier.

On the other hand, Zick wore a black leather armour that he randomly brought in a city which led to him being out of place. but this was not noticed by Zick at all as his attention was already being occupied by the five items.

Zevkoras found the black sword hung on Zick's waist interesting.

'It's a fine sword.....'

Only someone with experience in using a sword from a long time would be able to find the black sword as a good sword. Zevkoras could tell just by looking at the handle of the black sword, it was crafted in a way which would make it easier to use while killing. Though it looked normal without anything worth mentioning but that on itself made it look unique.

'It's a sword made to be used as a sword not like the swords made by the Cravion kingdom...'

Taking his eyes off the sword, he looked at the five items in front of him. He can find out the origin of the sword just looking at where Zick brought it afterwards so he put it at the back of his head.

"Each one of you can only choose one item among these five and once chosen it cannot be exchanged again."

Zevkoras didn't say anything else, all the five items were taken out of the treasury of the Melvix family. which means All five of them have the capabilities to support a person until the end of his life.

The Melvix family is the oldest family in the Cravion kingdom, It had been present since the day the Cravion kingdom was formed 3000 year ago unlike the Garcia family which arose a few centuries ago.

The location of the treasury was unknown, only the head of the family knew about it.

Hearing Zevkoras's voice, Instantly Zick's eyes landed upon the blood red earring, All the five items gave out mana but he found this earring to be the strongest among them.

The blood red earring had only one piece, it had a glistening red gem as holder of a red feather which gave out red mana ceaselessly.

'The feather is unique too....'

Most of the mana flowed out of the red gem but a little of it was released by the feather too.

Zick didn't hesitate as the difference between the blood red earring and the other four items was too wide to even consider what to choose.

Zick walked forward without any hesitation towards the table.

The other three heirs were surprised at Zick's swift decision; they looked at what he was going to choose with an interested expression.

Reaching in front of the table, Zick picked up the blood red earring and stared at it.

"You may take your leave if you want to now."

Zevkoras said with a cold voice, he even appeared a little disappointed but it vanished as soon as it appeared. He knew about the ability of the earring, it enhances the casting speed and strength of a magic. But he didn't know till what limit it could enhance a magic as he didn't use it.

In Zevkoras eyes Zick was just a peak rank knight which means the earring would be useless to him.

Zick wasn't surprised by Zevkoras's reaction, he started heading out of the room, he wasn't even tiniest bit interested at what the other heirs chose.

Walking through the corridor, Zick thought of the things he realised while training in using magic. He was different from the other mages who use the mana around them by forcefully controlling them.

But Zick didn't need to do such a thing, the mana in his surrounding would follow his will like a loyal servant which gave rise to there being no need for him to harmonise the mana around him.

Harmonisation with the surrounding mana is nothing but a process in which a person fills the mana around them with their own will.

But Zick was the opposite which made the mana follow his will without polluting them. This enhances the power of a magic as the mana in it is made from is pure unlike the other mages.

'I can see the reason why people call the dragon the Progenitor of magic.....'

The dragon race was also known as the species from whom the magic originated. Now that Zick's blood was slowly being turned into that of a dragon, he got this perk too. When his blood totally turns into dragon blood the mana around him would protect him on their own will. Dragons are a species which is loved by the mana after all.

'This can be used as a trump card.....'

Though his current strength in the mage profession wasn't as strong as his knight profession, he was confident in becoming stronger in this one year in which he will be staying in the estate.

No opponent would think of him as a dragon so without a doubt he can use his magic as a trump card while fighting.

'There isn't a reason for me to hide my strength.....'

Hiding his strength wouldn't help him anyway at all. Even in the academy, the one year that he planned on staying there would be more peaceful and easy after he reveals his strength. There are a lot of benefits which come alongside fame which he didn't plan on leaving out at all.

Zick had read the novel so he knew that there wasn't anything that could be threatening to him in the academy.

"Heh"

Thinking about all the incidents and events that happened in the novel made Zick chuckle a little. When he was a high rank knight, he had thought of a lot of countermeasures against them in case he didn't obtain the dragon heart. But now that his strength had increased it all became irrelevant, he didn't plan on stopping those incidents from happening anymore.

'It was a lot useful to the protagonist too.....it had made the relationship between the harem member and him grow stronger anyway.....'

There were even some events and incidents which could be beneficial to Zick. Reaching in front of his room's door, he could see a maid changing the flowers in the pot which was kept upon a table beside the door.

Seeing Zick coming towards where she was, she bowed her head hurriedly.

'A new maid? well whatever.'

It was apparent that the maid didn't know who Zick was looking at how she stood right in front of the door.

"Move."

"Y-yes"

Hearing Zick's emotionless voice, the maid moved aside with a scared look. Ignoring her, Zick entered the room.

The same room that he had lived in for four years appeared in front of him; it hadn't changed at all in the past two years. The whole room appeared clean without a speck of dust anywhere showing that someone had been taking care of it regularly.

Zick could see Butler Von standing in one of the corners of his room, the leather bag that Zick had handed over to him was kept above the bed.

Walking up to his bed, Zick sat upon it and beckoned Butler Von to come near him.

Taking the ring off his finger, Zick handed it over to him.

"This...?"

Butler Von asked in a confused voice staring at the ring.

"Sell everything within it, leaving some spare swords and the money, also send a letter to a skilled couturier to come visit me."

".....yes"

Responding to Zick's order, Butler Von bowed his head towards him and started heading out of the room.

''ah...also make something delicious for today's dinner."

Nodding his head towards Zick in understanding, Butler Von continued walking again.

"Haaaaaa..."

Breathing out loudly, Zick placed the cursed sword and the leather bag beside the bed and laid upon it letting himself relax. He didn't feel any fatigue at all but he still wanted to let himself rest after the long journey he went through.

'There isn't anything that I need to urgently do now.....I can just start training from tomorrow, I should just rest for today...'
