Son Of Chaos 84 Gotta Go

"And then the two of you will have a child. But don't worry, I will take care of it, so you don't have to waste all your time on taking care of it."

Hearing this Ivan nearly chocked. It seemed like this was her real goal. To get them to make a child for her to take care of. Lin too blanched and then hurriedly stood up.

"Sorry, everyone, but I have to leave now. My father asked me to meet him tonight.", with these words she hurriedly ran off.

Seeing her escape, Jenny stared at Ivan, "Don't tell me you have to leave too?"

"I really do. I have promised someone to met them today.", Ivan hurriedly answered. There was no way he would stay here alone.

"Oho, so you too want to run away?"

"No, no. I really have to go.", he hurriedly rea.s.sured her.

Looking wronged Jenny waved her hand. "Whatever. If you have to leave, then leave. But I dare you not to come back in at most a week.", she then threatened him. Ivan wasn't sure what she would do, if he really didn't come back, but he was sure that he wouldn't enjoy it.

He then grabbed the gifts he and put them in his inventory before saying goodbye to everyone.

After he had left, the Mueller family too said their goodbye, leaving only Carl and his wives as well as Lara's parents in the living room.

Miranda looked at her husband, who seemed to be deep in thought since a bit ago. To be exactly it was ever since the rings had appeared on Ivan's and Lin's hands.

"What are you thinking about?"

"When these rings appeared I felt a familiar aura coming from Ivan, but I don't know from where I know it."

Miranda hid her anxiousness. She hadn't yet prepared everything for telling him about Lara and Ivan, so she could only hope that it had nothing to do with them.

"But I'm sure that it was during my times adventuring in a higher realm."

These words reduced her worries, but at the same time brought even bigger confusion.

"Maybe you have met him before?"

"I'm not sure.", after saying this he once again fell silent. The others patiently waited for him to come to a conclusion, until finally his eyes lit up.

"It was him. He had the same aura.", he exclaimed. It was clear to see his excitement, as well as something they hadn't seen before on him, and that was admiration, bordering at worship.

Before he had followed his father on the throne twenty years ago, he had been an adventurer. Not only had he explored this realm, but even entered a sect in the higher realm. There he had proceeded on the road to power. This continued on until the date he had been given by his father. Until then he would be able to do whatever he want, but after that he had to take the throne of the Empire of Berg, as was the family tradition. Only after reigning for at least two hundred years was he allowed to retire and have his own children follow him on the throne. This tradition of the royal family had created a long row of highly competent emperors, which together with the rules of the system were able to keep order in this realm, as well as increase its prosperity.

Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, he coughed in embarra.s.sment.

"Sorry, I just got a bit to excited.", he then paused before explaining, "It was during one of my earlier adventures. It was around 150 years ago, when I together with some sect mates went to explore a new onetime dungeon. As the times before, the higher ups in the sect had checked the dungeon to rank it, so that the disciples which took the mission wouldn't face impossible to overcome dangers. But at that time something went wrong. It is unknown why, but after it had been checked, there was a mutation and when we entered it, we faced monsters of such a high rank, that even our sect master appeared powerless in comparison.

For that you have to know that even though the rank of our sect wasn't that high, out sect master was still an Mortal King."

Aside from Carl the others had a confused look on their face. Carl too had experience in the upper realm, so he was familiar with the ranking system, but the others had never left this realm. And here the stats were the only ranking for power.

"Let me explain. In this realm, we use the stats to describe our power, but that only works because every beings power in this realm is limited to below a thousand in these stats. In other realms these restrictions don't exist, so there are techniques that are used to become even stronger after reaching one thousand in each stat."

"Then wouldn't we be in a big disadvantage when entering the upper realm?", Jenny asked. She had planned to ask Carl to take her with him to the upper realm, because she really wanted to experience what it was like. After all he had always wound his way around telling her what he had experienced there.

"In a way yes. But there is one thing we are superior to them."

"Really?", Jenny asked in surprise.

"Really. Unlike here, were there are many mages, in the upper realm it is nearly impossible to find one. And because of that these skills that require mana are something rare. Sadly because of that there aren't any known methods of training ones magic even further, but by applying some general theories, it is still possible to slowly strengthen ones mana source."

"So the advantage is in our mana source?"

"Yes. By using magic we can reach approximately the strength of someone two stages above us, while in the lower stages. Later it won't make as much of a difference, but it is enough to bridge the time until we can adapt to their system."
