Chapter 321 – Destiny (1)

“When did you come back?”

Count Welton asked his son who suddenly appeared.

“You tell me father, when did you come here?”

Jamie was curious too

He heard that he was fine, but Count Welton should be on the border of Cheshan Kingdom.

‘No. rather, why he is haiss could be because of that thing.’

The world is changing too fast. And it has been a week since the Magic World sunk.

Haiss, too had reached a point where it is difficult to find a person walking around.

The capital is being protected by a barrier and theother cities should have been in the same condition. in such a situation Count Welton should be worried for his family and estate so it wasn’t strange for him to come here

Count Welton said

“I think I came here around 3 days back.”

“it hasn’t been long since I came.”

“Where did you go? after listening to the apostle, it was like you travelled to a distant place.”

“I will tell you later. rather, what about Sara and mom>”

As I asked about the two, the face o Count darkened and seeing that made Jamie’s heart sink

Could it be that the two of them had also fallen as victim to the Church of Nothingness?

… it was when he thought that

“They safely escaped to Apton.”

Perhaps he wanted to tease his son, the Count released his stiff expression and then greeted him with

“Haa~!’

Jamie sighed as he sat down on the ground. It had been a long time since he left this vulnerable.

He really thought that something had happened to his family.

‘Thank god.’

What would he have done if the church of nothingness had attacked?

What is certain is that he must have somehow found them right now and killed them all.

Of course that didn’t mean he was going to let them off even now.

The timing is only delayed now and Lennon is also obsessed with their vanity so he must go and rescue them.

When the time is right, he was going to make those bastards beg.

“I didn’t think you’d be this shocked.”

Count Welton smiled and reached out for the son who smiled and grabbed onto his father’ hand to stand up

“The joke was too much.”

“Sorry.”

“Were there such places here?”

Count Welton’s study was something Jamie frequently visited but he didn’t know of this place.

The reason he didn’t tell Jamie could be because this is a secret space.

As expected, Count Welton explained this place

“it is a space that only allows the head. I was going to tell you when you took after the family.”

“Didn’t father come to know it until he became the head?”

“yes well. I haven’t really come here even when I found out.”

Didn’t come in?

Jamie couldn’t help but ask why

“Why?”

“Well because I wasn’t interested? I thought I just had to protect my family and estate. It was a peaceful time too and I didn’t like books very much. Hahaha.”

Perhaps he felt embarrassed, Count Welton laughed awkwardly.

“If father liked books like Jamie then I would have come here often.”

Count Welton mumbled and looked at the space dedicated to the head with fondness.

To be precise, every time he came here, he would remember the conversations he had with his father, the former head of the family.

-Why do you hate reading books? Anyway, you still need to know the history of the family!

-I don’t have enough time to swing my sword. And, I only need to look after the estate. I am good at it, so thank you

-Huh! who even gave birth to you!

-You did father.

-Don’t play puns!

Anyone who knew the Count’s childhood would know how gentle he is. His father, was considerate of him too.

Normally he would have forced the count to learn things like history, but as long as he trained swordsmanship he decided to let the child go.

So he didn’t really have to come here

Three days passed and the Count learned about the secret he was recently curious about.

“Your grandfather. There is something my dad didn’t tell me until the end. I don’t know if he wanted me to find it myself or didn’t want me to get involved.”

“Are you talking about the secrets of Welton Bloodline? As you said…”

When Welton’s bloodline awakens as a Sword master a power related to space awakens.

The Count nodded his head

“That is there and I wanted to check what you said before.”

What Darius the champion of Dark arean said to Jamie

“Father how did you come to know?”

Jamie asked it

“So, did you figure it out?”

Count Welton nodded

“Let’s take a walk outside.”

The season was coming to the end and days began to get colder.

The Weltons silently strolling through the garden

Jamie waited for his father to speak first.

Since it was an important topic, he must have been thinking in the head on how to say it out.

After walking like that for 10 minutes, the Count finally broke his thoughts

“Do you know when Welton Family started?”

“I know the bloodline started 600 years back in Karak Empire,a state which existed before Seldam Kingdom.”

“As expected of my son. The Welton family is a family of sword which existed for a long time in Karak. It is a family by name, not nobles though and they ran a small training center.”

From then on, they had a good reputation for teaching sword and many people would come from all over the place.

And then the history of Welton Family began to spread in earnest.

“The problem is that from that time, the corruption ran rampant in Karak and people constantly suffered.”

The last 100 years of Karak were horrendous enough to be called as chaos, and the level of oppression and terror was too much.

Even then, because it was the largest nation in the north, no one wanted to touch it

After such a long period of time, a lot of troops were born.

“It says here there was something more.”

The revolutionary army rose but the army of Krak were strongest. Rather, the revolutionary army was executed as traitors and its leader were executed which gave people even greater fear.

As those terrible times continued a hero came

“Friedmoor I, the first king of Seldam.”

A rare hero who overthrew the Karak Empire by joining forces with first king, Gav,

And at that time, the head of Welton family sided with King Friedmoor and was selected as one of th founders of nations

Unfortunately, they were given a small estate in the outskirts but at certain point, the Welton family became the best swordsmanship family in the kingdom in an instant

“Right. It was that which mattered.”

The secret library had very detailed records of that time.

With the words to prepare for future

“What happened?”

“An old man came to Welton. The records say that he had a mysterious atmosphere.”

At that time the appearance of the old man who came was described in detail.

An old man with slightly bent waist, short stature and white below the ears

“he said this to the lord.”

-A time when the world is colored in chaos, a hero will be born into your family.

When this story was told by the old man who came out of nowhere, they couldn’t believe it.

-It will be the last chance for humans. Listen to this old man. For the sake of your family.

With those words the old man left and the lord pondered over it. he didn’t take it seriously. Because it was dismissed as crazy talk.

However one day as if possessed by something the lord began to focus on expanding the size of Welton family.

The family’s vision, the Futility Divide was further developed to 10 forms.

As the generations went on, the will got passed down to the next and the Welton family grew as if they were blessed.

Hundreds of years and Welton came to be called as the best

“It is amazing so far, but its even more surprising after that. that is what your grandfather went through.”

“grandfather? That is why he knew about me.”

“Right. It was right after your grandfather took the position and learned the family secret. That old man came back.’

Although the description of the appearance of old man who came first was detailed, they should know that recognizing one is difficult as it was all in writing.

However, Chervil said that as soon as he saw the old man, he immediately thought of the description in the book.

-Well prepared. This is the best environment for the hero to grow up. Wonderful

As soon as he heard those words, Chervil realized why the Welton family had blindly gone after increasing their influence.

It was ‘strength’.

It is the power of words which made it happen.

The power didn’t encompass the entire Welton family, and it strongly influenced the bloodline

Upon realizing this, Chervis felt goosebumps rise and asked the old man his identity.

-Your helper who wants to repay the humiliation to the unclean ones.

-… unclean ones?

-Welton Lord. You work harder. Although I know if you will survive till then, I hope your path can lead the soon to be born hero.

After saying these words, the old man disappeared and Chervil couldn’t deny about this man.

And he thought that if it was something that could affect the family, it would be something transcendent.

The purpose of this man is not known, but he thought there was nothing to lose from listening to him.

Yet, he didn’t know what exactly was being born

He vaguely thought it would be a grandson but Argeno Welton was still a child

And as time passed the status of Chervil began to get stronger and stronger

When he heard that his son and daughter in law were pregnant, he realized that the child was destined to be a hero the old man spoke of.

Because the lord position was handed over to his son, Chervil went on a trip to complete his senses training which he wated to pass to his children.

And he never talked about him to the current Count till the death.

Instead, he just left a record of that time in the library

“if I had known that sooner…”

He felt regretful that that he found out too lake.

But Jamie shook his head

“No.”

What the old man was intending to say is unknown but everything in the end happen as he said.

He as born and the technique made by chervil was perfectly learned.

“I don’t know if I am the son who will be a hero but if that the old man said is right… then.”

Jamie confidently said to his father

“I am confident that I will not lose to anyone. So don’t regret about this. your son has grown up well.”

“Jamie.”

The Count looked at his son and smiled faintly.

How could this son have grown up this nicely?

“Rather.”

Jamie said,

“Who is that old man?”

“Well. what is certain is that it cannot be said that he didn’t have much influence on her family.”

A being who can handle ‘words and spirits’ that control the fate of a single family with words.

There are very few beings in the world with that kind of power.

For example

‘God.’

An old man crossing the wasteland

The old man had gray hair to his ears and was short.

He also had a bent waist which made him look smaller. The old man walked slowly with his hand behind the back, but the background changed suddenly, contrary to how slow he looked

“It is far.”

He tried to avoid what was ahead and it faded

Fortunately, the arrangement made for the Welton family was successful.

By now, he might have become a complete god.

“if it went according to mother’s plan it should be fine.”

The old man smiled bitterly.

Thousand of years had passed since he was in the situation.

He knew it couldn’t helped

For the final puzzle, he turned a traitor and was pointed at by his brothers, but this is his destiny to save th world.

That is how he lived.

‘So I have to do it.’

He is tired of the cruel fates and sufferings.
