The first thing Arthur and his wives did was to find a safe ce to read the journals Hephas gave them and find out more about the second part of the inheritance.


    It was hard to think about finding an inheritance when your wife''s kidnapping never left your mind. That was how Arthur, Wisa, and Jane felt, hidden inside a small inn surrounded by snow.


    Arthur watched the snowkes through the window while he read many different journals, all of the same person -- the Blood Monarch.


    "I will go downstairs and get a hot chocte. Do you want some, husband, Jane?" Wisa asked softly, trying not to disturb Arthur, who had his focus on the second part of the inheritance.


    He put the journal down for a second, smiled, and said, "yes, please. That would be great! Thank you, darling."


    The atmosphere was cozy, but all of them knew problems were everywhere, all of which were urgent!


    Wisa went downstairs to get the hot chocte, and there she saw many simple-living vigers sitting around the fire, warming their bodies.


    It was amon sight in a snowy ce like that, but it still brought a little peace to Wisa''s heart, which wished to be as carefree as that.


    "One day, perhaps." she thought.


    Jane was still inside their room, lying on the bed in a cross-legged position. Since Sybille got kidnapped, they were training harder, including Jane.


    Still, even while meditating, she found the time to ask Arthur, "found anything interesting?"


    The second part of the inheritance was important to cure Arthur''s madness, allowing him to focus entirely on reaching rank four and getting Sybille back.


    "Yes," Arthur said, scratching the back of his head before adding, "I believe."


    "There is something about this passage here; hear this out,"


    ''Surrounded by three mountains, it is.''


    ''His ce of eternal rest."


    ''A beast is lying underneath.''


    ''And going there means death.''


    ''The perfect hiding spot.''


    ''To anything but lost.''


    ''Will you find it?''


    ''Can you find it?''


    ''A tip for those who are reading it.''


    ''Anyone can see, but only one will see its true colors.''


    "So, what do you think, Jane?" Arthur asked after reading that small poem.


    The journals shared some information about where the second part of the inheritance could be, and during these passages, it is clear that the ce has mountains around it. Therefore, the poem most likely spoke about the inheritance''s actual location.


    "It speaks about a hidden ce, and the Blood Monarch put some beast to guard it. But what about thest part? That should be the most important one to find the location."


    Yes, thest part was a tip, but Arthur could not understand, at least not at first. But the more he read it, the more it resembled his Emperor Eye!


    The Emperor Eye could see the true form of anything, which matched the poem''sst part. Not only that, but the person who should be looking for the second part of the inheritance probably had the first one, meaning it had the eye too.


    "But I still need to find at least a general location. I cannot wander the continent aimlessly like a lost chicken."


    "I am back," a voice echoed inside the room, and they could hear the sound of a door opening.


    It was Wisa who returned with three hot choctes for them. "What did I miss?" she asked, and then Arthur exined that part of the journal.


    "Yes, it does seem like it, especially the part about your mysterious eye. But how will we find this ce? Also, I am sure many ces in this continent will have three mountains around it."


    That was another thing that worried Arthur. It was not like the ce described in the journal was unique or anything like that. So many ces would have a simr look, making the search even worse.


    "Husband, didn''t you tell more vampire families were looking for this thing? Maybe we could kidnap a few of them and get some answers," Wisa said, giving an excellent idea.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Hephas said more families got the information, possibly the one who invaded Coldharbour and a few others. So, what Arthur could do was to find some of these vampires and get some answers.


    They surely would not know about the Emperor Eye part, but if they at least found a ce simr to the one described in the poem, that would make the trouble worth it in the end.


    "That is a good idea, Wisa. But how should we start to look for them?"


    Although Hephas mentioned that other vampire families were looking for that inheritance, he did not tell him their names, so it was almost impossible to know their location.


    "Think, Arthur, think."


    Arthur did not even blink, entering a thoughtful state, trying to find anything he could to help him find those vampires, and after a few minutes of thinking, he did find them!


    "Right! How I never thought about it earlier!"


    The Adventurers Guild! Why? Well, the guild worked like this: someone, who wanted something, would post a job, and the adventurers would ept the job, thus getting a reward at the end of it.


    Many influential people put orders in the Adventurers Guild, which was an essential pir of the Demon Continent. Vampires were only one race inside the continent, and if they made strange movements, it would catch the attention of other powers who would want to learn more about it.


    "So all we have to do is wait for the information about the vampires reaches the Adventurers Guild, then we get the information about the witness and find the vampires," Wisa said.


    Jane was sipping her hot chocte when she said, "but how are we going to enter the guild in the first ce? A job rted to powerful vampires is only avable for higher rank members."


    "About that..."

    Arthur and his wives are set on a journey, leaving the snowy area and looking for three specific individuals. Yes, the three adventurers Arthur met before: Nykka, Tarinne, and Yeva.


    "How can this eye of yours find them anyway?" Jane asked as the three of them were flying in the sky.


    "I met them before, so I can focus on finding their specific aura using the eye. It does not always work; it depends on the distance we are from the target and the target''s power level.


    Speaking of level, Arthur gained only a few of them in the past days, but his stats had increased because of the blood absorption and his Celestial Energy!


    After a long, long time, the Celestial Energy was working again with constancy, and if it kept increasing its attributes, then it meant the people back in other continents still believed in him.


    [Name: Arthur Willians]


    [Bloodline: Dragon (Legendary cidusax), Monlog Giant]


    [Rank: Official Mage (3)]


    [Level: 132]


    [Health: 107000/107000]


    [Mana: 0/0]


    [Spiritual Force: 370]


    Attributes:


    [Strength: 714]


    [Agility: 639]


    [Vigor: 634]


    [Wisdom: 878]


    [Charm: 636]


    [Free points: 145]


    The attributes increased due to the blood and the celestial energy, but the most important part was his Spiritual Force! It was already at 370, as Arthur kept condensing the mana he gained from the levels to increase it at a faster rate.


    "I need to get it to 400 and then find a way to break through to the next rank! Also, where do I put these 145 points?"
