The Locked System 66 Spoiler

The captain kneels next to the knight and removes the robe that was covering his face, then he makes a surprise face " Lenard!? but he is an Advance True Warrior, it's impossible that he created Undead "

Hayato frowns and asks with a serious voice " How can you be so sure? when I removed him from the dark column the Undead stopped "

The captain gets up and turns to see Hayato with a serious face " I verify all the powers of those who want to join the Knights, so, I'm 100% sure that he isn't a Necromancer "

Hayato asks the captain with doubts " Then if it wasn't him, why did those Undead stop when I knocked him out?"

" Hayato! " Maya approached them after she saw Hayato and she embraces him tightly from behind to then kiss his right cheek

The captain makes a surprised face and laughs " Haha, h.e.l.lo young lady " then he sees Hayato with a grin " it seems that she is someone really special to you "

Maya sees the captain without releasing Hayato and she says with a proud smile " Of course I am, I'm his wife "

" *COUGH*... can we talk about the problem here? " Hayato said seriously but his face a little red

The captain smiles and grabs the unconscious knight " Ok, but first, I need to interrogate this guy, if what you tell me is true, then he was just a catalyst for the Necromancer "

Hayato nods and searches for the city lord, but he only saw a huge earth dome with people coming out of it " Where is the city lord? I have a few questions to ask him "

" He went back to his manor, I will take you there " The captain began to walk

Hayato and Maya follow the captain to the city lord's manor, on the way Alyra, Dye, and Wade join them, it seems that Alyra received help from Lennox, he became friends with Wade, Lennox left after the battle ended. Dye said that she managed to kill some Stalkers thanks to her Divine Beast powers, it seems that her lightning attacks were very effective against them

" We arrived " the manor is huge, but it doesn't have a wall surrounding the place, there is just a couple of knights at the entrance, inside looks elegant with a lot of paints in the walls one of them called Hayato's attention, It was the paint of a beautiful woman, she looks like Kara but her hair is black and long, she wears a silver armor with a thin white sword on her hands. Hayato narrows his eyes seeing her and then the captain speak

" I will go to interrogate this guy first, I will bring the city lord after I finish, you can wait on the couches there " The captain points to four luxurious couches with a table cafe in the middle of them

The captain stops before leave and turns to see Hayato with a serious face " I hope you don't try to fight with him "

Hayato makes an uninterested look and snorts " Hmph, I'm really tired right now, I just going to ask him a few things " The captain left with a smile. Maya and Alyra sit next to him after he left

" Hayato you felt his powers too? he has the same energy as the King of the Ballack kingdom " Maya said to Hayato with a serious face

Alyra makes a surprised face and says " That means he is at least an Amateur Immortal Warrior, even my Grandfather is only an Advance Sky Warrior, but he is much younger "

Dye who seated on the right side couch says with a smile " He was strong, those shadow monsters couldn't even touch him "

Wade that sited in front of Hayato makes a face of doubt " But why is he here? with that kind of power, he could be a n.o.ble or even a king in the Human Continent "

" Maybe he has his reasons to stay " Said Alyra with a smile

After a couple of hours, they finally came

" Here they come " Wade turns to see the captain and the city lord, the city lord looks depressed, he walked in front of Hayato and bows his head, surprising everyone present

" Sorry for the problems that I caused you, you and your companions are the saviors of the city, I will give you the money you deserved for winning the tournament and a little compensation. " The city lord said with a humble voice as he gives Hayato a bag with 7 Platinum Coins

" Hmm?...." Hayato raises his eyebrows after seeing the coins then he sees the city lord a calm face " I lost something more important than the money, but I'm not here because of that, the captain must have already told you that I'm here to ask you something "

The city lord raises his head to see him and says " I will answer everything you want to ask "

" Why is your daughter blood blue? and what's is that strange blue fire she uses? " Hayato said something that surprises Dye, Maya, Alyra, and Wade

Hayato turns to see them with his face frown " What, you didn't saw her? "

Alyra shakes her head and says " No when she stopped speaking with his father the blue cube that surrounded the platform become blurred inside, only after an impact caused inside of the cube, we could see the inside again "

' I see it must be when I hit that guy '

" She is like that because... we bathed her with Azure Dragon Blood when she was a baby " The city lord interrupted them making a very sad face

Wade has an incredulous face and says " What!? when a human drinks adult Dragon's blood, they can progress faster, but if they drink a lot of Dragon's blood it becomes like poison! it's impossible for a baby to survive that! "

The city lord covers his face with his right hand " She is alive thanks to her mother, he used all of her magic power to protect her from the side effects, she was a very powerful woman even more than the captain here "

" If she used all of her energy... she must be... " Alyra said with a surprised face

" Yes... she died from exhaustion " The city lord responded with a hoa.r.s.e voice

Maya has an incredulous face and says " But why she did something so absurd? wouldn't it be better to let her live like a normal person? "

The lord of the city shakes his head and says: " No, if she hadn't done that, Kara would be dead right now " he bows his head and continues " Kara was born with many diseases, all could take her life before she became a little girl, so my wife gave her life for her "

" Then that blue fire is a side effect from the Dragon's blood? " Hayato asked with doubt

The city lord responds to him calmly " The Dragon blood cured her diseases, but I think that the magic from her mother and the Dragon blood combined when they entered her body, it was pure luck, my wife told me before she died that the man who takes her virginity will break the limitation that humans have, the limitation that Heroes don't have "

Hayato grabs his chin an says " Then that's what he wanted from her "

The city lord make a face of doubt " Who? "

Hayato turns to see him and says " The guy that was a Homunculus and his companions "

The city lord has an incredulous face " You mean Zeran, but he is the son of the Duke of the Loran Kingdom "

Hayato speaks with a serious face " Are you sure, have you been in that Kingdom before? if you are so sure, can you tell me why he used a Homunculus to come here? let me tell you something, I think that he and his partners were the ones who caused the attack "

" But then, why he had this? " The city lord puts out a medal with the form of a blue dragon and he gives it to Hayato

Hayato sees both sides of the medal with a face of doubt and says " What is this? "

" Is the symbol of the Duke, only those who are part of the family of the Duke have this, if you put some magic power in it you can see the symbol inside of your head " The city lord responded with a nervous smile

Hayato raises his eyebrows and says with a mockingly smile " And with this, you believed him? "

" No, his knights came without him, so I made the tournament to made sure he will come, I wanted to see him personally, when he came he told me that he will marry my daughter to make her happy and give her a life she deserves, we made a deal that whatever happens, he will take her away " The city lord bowed his head as he clenched his fists

" So that's why you made Hayato lose, you practically sold her " Maya said with anger

The city lord turns to see her with anger and yells " I only do it because I want her to be happy! I thought she would be happy with a strong and n.o.ble man! "

Maya frowns and says " At least you asked her what she wanted? I'm sure that you went against her wishes, you are disgusting " The city lord shivered and he bows his head

" She is right, why you didn't talk with her " Hayato makes a face of doubt

" She always agreed with what I requested her, until this day, from nowhere she began to behave very differently, it must be because of the letter that her mother left her" The city lord takes out a letter

" A letter? Can I read it? " Hayato asked

" But..... " The city lord made a reluctant face but Hayato grabbed the letter and he says " You owe me, old man "

{ To Kara

My beloved daughter, I know I will never saw you grow up, become a great woman or even see my grandchildren, maybe you think that you are cursed or that I hated you, but It's the only way I can save you.

Anyway, I'm a woman of few words, but let me tell you something, whatever happens, you need to be strong, you deserve to be happy even if you need to fight for it, I know someday you will find happiness, I leave this letter to your father he will give to you when you found a good man don't worry your father can't read it before you and last, the dragon earring is my last gift to you

That's all I wanted to say, remember that your mother loved you, even before you were born to the last day of my life

Elena }

" This is why she was acting like that, I read this letter in her room when she already left " The city lord said with a sad voice

" What did it say? Hayato? " Maya asked Hayato and he gives her the letter

Alyra makes an angered face and she says " Maybe she was accepting everything you said her because she thought she was a monster and she doesn't deserve to be happy. I have been in her position before, I know what it feels when someone only wanted you just for the benefits that you can bring them "

The city lord makes a surprised face " ...!? "

Hayato turns to see the captain and says " Now. you tell me, something captain, how is possible that you didn't saw them? you are the strongest person in this place "

The city lord speak before the captain " I stopped him from doing that, I didn't want to create distrust in the young lord Zeran "

Hayato shakes his head and says with anger " *SIGH* How low will you fall? let me tell you something, I think he will r*pe her and drain her blood after that, so she is gonna die all because of you "

The city lord makes a panicked expression and turns to see the captain " ...!? Captain! please help me to bring back my daughter! "

The captain makes a sad face and says " I'm sorry I made a promise to my master remember she made me promise that I would protect the city where she was born and now that we suffered an attack the city became really expose to Monsters and Bandits if we leave now something could happen in our absence "

" Then I will go alone " The city lord makes a resolute face

The captain shakes his head and says " You can't, at least not now, you need to wait until the city recovers from the attack "

The city lord makes a face full of frustration and he turns to see Hayato with a hopefully face

" I know what are you going to say, old man, and the answer is no " Hayato responded with a cold voice, surprising everyone

" Why!? I will give you all the money you wanted! " The city lord begs with a desperate face

" Well, is simple, your daughter tried to kill me, so tell me should I help her after that? " Hayato frowned as he responded coldly. The city lord bows her head and Hayato turns to see the captain with a calm face

" .... " The captain seemed to understand something

" We are leaving, good luck finding your daughter, city lord " Hayato gets up with Maya, Alyra, Dye, and Wade after him

Before they left a knight approaches and says " Captain, Lenard committed suicide! he bitted his tongue! "

" d.a.m.n coward! he never told me why he help them or who they are " The captain said with a serious face

The city lord was very sad after her daughter left and now that he knows what kind of destiny awaits her, he felt regret

Hayato, Dye, Alyra, Wade, and Maya left the manor and after that the city

Maya grins and turns to see Hayato " Hayato, you are going to help her, right? "

" Hmm? I thought he said no? " Dye said with doubt

Hayato turns to see them with a smile " Well, that's true, but that old man needs to suffer a little for his mistakes, that's why I lied to him "

" Then we will go after her now? " Alyra asked with a smile

Hayato shakes his head and says " No, first we will go to the Shakhtar Kingdom and join the Adventurers Guild there, I'm sure they have information about the strongest Monsters of the continent, after we become strong we will search for her "

" Why do you want to help her? " Alyra asked with doubt

Hayato makes a serious face " The guys who attacked the city before seemed really suspicious even dangerous, I think that if we went for her we will found them again "

Maya nods with a serious face " You're right, the one who controlled the Homunculus must be very powerful "

" What's wrong, Wade? " Hayato turned to see Wade that stopped walking

" Well, my friend, I think I will go to the village where Lennox come from, he is really strong thanks to something he found there, maybe I could use it too " Wade responded with a smile

" Alright, then in 15 days we will meet here " Hayato throws a kunai to a tree near

Wade nods and turns around to leave " Ok, then see you later " Wade leaves through the forest

Hayato turns to see the three girls and says " Let's go, we will take a transport to the Shakhtar Kingdom, it will take us a few days to arrive there "

Three days pa.s.sed and they finally arrived at the Shakhtar Kingdom, they traveled on a giant millipede just like before, on the way, those three days Hayato gathered 15,000 System Points in just killing Monsters that tried to attack them, those Monsters even if they were weaker than Dye didn't seem to be afraid of her, they get down from the millipede and paid their owner 3 Sylver Coins

" We finally arrived! " Dye yelled with her arms raised to the sky

" Haha, yes let's go to the Adventurers Guild " Hayato laughs and they walked to the kingdom

---------------------------------------------------------------

Three days before, on a castle in middle of nowhere, a handsome young man was sitting cross-legged, that young man was Zeran, He was under a red shining circle with a lot of strange letters, Zeran opened his eyes and the circle disappeared, his right eye isn't like the other, his sclera is black, his iris is golden and pupil was red in a vertical form, just like a snake eye

Zeran gets up and walks out from the empty room, he walked in a long hallway. He turns to see the outside of the castle through the windows on the hallway, the place was surrounded by dead trees covered with snow, he makes a careless face and keeps walking until he arrived at a stone door, he put his left arm on the door and it shines with a purple light, then the door opens automatically

When he entered, a black-robed middle age man was laying in an extravagant bed, Zeran approaches him and the middle age man, and he turns to see him, the middle age man has green eyes and black hair he looks like Zeran but his face is a lot paler, the middle age man looks really tired

" *COUGH* *COUGH* Zeran, what are you doing here? " The middle age man speak with a weak voice

" Father, I have to talk to you about something " Zeran responded with an emotionless face

" *COUGH* You can't wait? I have to rest " The middle age man closed his eyes

" No father, I found that girl that I mentioned you before " Zeran responded with a calm voice

" *COUGH**COUGH* then is on the way here now " the middle age man responded without opening his eyes

Zeran shakes his head and says " No, Mark is bringing back some of her blood, I will go for her later "

" Then why *COUGH* are you here? " The middle age man opened his eyes and turns to see Zeran again

" I made contact with a strange guy, he had the demon eyes but he can use human magic " Zeran responded with a calm face

" *COUGH**COUGH**COUGH**COUGH* What!? that's impossible! demons can't use human magic! *COUGH* " The middle age man yelled with surprise and he cough even more

Zeran responded with a calm voice " I know it father, that's why I'm here, I will send some people to monitor him so I need some of your men "

" No! son! *COUGH**COUGH* we need to kill him! he could be a problem! " The middle age man said with desperation

Zeran smiles coldly and says " You are wrong father, if I don't go personally I'm sure he will kill everyone we send to kill him, I will find his location first and when the plan with that girl is completed, I will go for him "

The middle age man smiles and closes his eyes again " *COUGH* Ok son, I trust you, now leave *COUGH* I need to rest " then Zeran left the room
