Ancient Tears BloodLine

Restaurant, City of Iron Post

Inside an isolated room, A person who is disguised as a veteran warrior was eating his food.

The person is none other than Mateo Roth, team leader of the No. 1 bandit hunting team, the Flaming Sword Team.

As the name indicates, team members were fire elemental warriors who used swords as their main weapon.action

"Tck, the city lord is completely defeated. I don't think he will make any noise anymore," Mateo said in his heart.

Mateo is currently in disguise. But his original identity is a young warrior with a healthy physique. He is 6 feet tall in height. He had red hair and black eyes. He looked pale in color.

After taking a glance at the time, various thoughts run in his mind.

"I need to get back to my academy once this is over. Otherwise they will give my quota to someone else, "Mateo muttered to himself."

Then he recalled the situation some time ago. At that time, he was preparing for the Star Tower event, but due to unforeseen circumstances, his academy didn't allow him to venture outside.

He thought that the academy was way too cautious about the exposure. At that time, the academy told me that they would arrange a proper training environment for him later.

In the end, he chose to give in. and didn't participate in Star Tower. But later, he learnt that an unknown kid named Zack Lockwood had made it to the number 1 ranking on the leaderboard.

His May Ford Academy is just a subsidiary force under Crimson Hall. Even their warriors were pale in front of that unknown kid. But he doubted the credibility of his strength.

Mateo felt that Crimson Hall's warriors were so weak in strength. That they even let an unknown kid step on them. At that time, he felt that the academy had made a stupid decision not to let him go.

Otherwise, he would have cleared more than 20 floors by outshining all other warriors. He still feels some regret for letting go of that opportunity.

Fortunately, his family stepped in at the right time. which is related to his current bandit hunting mission right now. Their Roth family is asked by someone to interfere in the bandit hunting mission.

His family sent him to thwart the work of the City Lord by not actually acting against bandits. At first, he thought this was something dangerous; acting against the City Lord is a terrible crime.

But his family was daring enough to do that. He can't question his family. So he quietly followed their arrangements to come here.

Shaking his head, he regretted his decision again. Ever since he came here, there has been no major improvement in his strength.

According to his family, he simply just needs to get the position of top team in a bandit hunting mission. Apart from that, he shouldn't do anything that touches the bottom line of bandit Boss Soren.

What is his bottom line? At first he wondered, but later he realised he shouldn't kill the bandits working under the bandit boss. At the same time, he should be careful of getting exposed by the City Lord.

He was just trapped between these two existences, unable to improve further. His team had risen the ranks by looting others. The number of actual bandits killed by them can be counted on one hand. That too happened in unavoidable circumstances.

Because he is unable to improve, He can't feel secure about position as the seed candidate. He needs to get stronger.

There are a lot of challenges waiting for him, both at May Ford Academy and the Roth family. That's why he is hoping for some sort of solution. The fight between bandit Boss Soren and the City Lord can't go on.

Shaking his head, he dispelled his thoughts and continued to eat the food.

But a few minutes later,

Mateo received a call from his father.

After attending it, he asked about his health. But from the other side of the call. There is no reply whatsoever. Mateo furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What is it, father?"

A small sigh can be heard from the other side of the call. Mateo's expressions worsen after hearing the helpless sigh. "What's wrong?" He said it in his heart.

Mateo's father replied, "Something happened! It's related to your seed position. "

Hearing that, Mateo put the forks on the plate. His expression finally became serious.

"What is happening out there, father?"Mateo commented. Everything is fine on my side. I did what my family asked me to do.

The Fire Sword team has secured the first position among bandit hunting teams. We also subdued many other weak teams. It will be a matter of time before I come back home.

Mateo's voice had a hint of anger. When his other palm touched the wooden dining table, it charred completely.

A hot red blazing flame keeps releasing from his palm. Even though the flame appeared for a moment, it managed to char the table within a second.

Mateo's father again became silent after listening to his son's words. He can really feel his son is on the verge of exploding.

"Father?" Mateo said.

"Sigh, it's all due to May Ford Academy." Mateo's father uttered this with hatred.

Mateo's pupil constricts. He asked, "What did they do? Did they take back my position? "

It's the worst thing he could think of right now. He was already displeased by the academy's last interruption by not letting him participate in Star Tower. Now he feels the academy did something which is unfavourable to him again.

But he would like to hear from his father about it.

Mateo's father replied, "The May Ford Academy asked Elder Brody to do something. If he is successful in his task, The academy will grant another seed position to our family. Adding you, from the Roth family, two people will participate in Crimson Hall's competition. "

Mateo clenched his fist while listening to his father. He knew Elder Brody. His full name is Brody Roth. He is from the same family.

"What is the task which needs Elder Brody to do?" Mateo said.

Mateo asked, "Father, do you know what the task is all about?"

"Fortunately, since I'm part of the family elders, I came to know about a few things. The May Ford Academy wants to use the Roth family connection to learn about the Crimson Hall event, "Mateo's father said in a calm tone."

"It's a really dangerous game. Recently, our family has been playing with fire very often. First, they sent me here to act against the City Lord. Now, we are going to offend Crimson Hall, which is a superior force to us," Mateo replied in a displeased tone.

He was curious as to what the family's patriarch was thinking. actions were nothing less than self-seeking death.

"So, who family decided to give the new seed position?" he asked back, retracting his thoughts.

Mateo's father again replied in a helpless tone, "It's our young miss, Everly Roth." "

Mateo was dumbfounded. He really wasn't expecting this answer. She is really young. He replied, "Father, what are they thinking? She is really young. She can participate in the next competition without any problem"

"I knew you would say that. But she's become a lot stronger lately. She had broken through to become a Peak of Special Trainee," Mateo's father said.

"Peak Special Trainee?" Mateo muttered.

He replied, "But still, it's not enough. In a crimson hall competition, the trainee warrior will overwhelm others. It's a foregone conclusion that the winner will be decided among "Trainee Warriors."

Mateo's father answered, "I know, but the family head is quite confident in her. He believes that she will get the next breakthrough before the start of the competition"

Shaking his head in denial, Mateo completely disagrees with Family Head's words. But he didn't talk about him.

After talking about a few other things, he ended the call. He doesn't know what's up with May Ford Academy. They even sacrificed a seed position to their family in order to get a few pieces of information.

Mateo strongly believes that if you are strong enough, then you can easily overwhelm others.

Well, he didn't have any grudge against young Miss Everly. But he feels she is still young and her base is not enough to rival others in the competition.

Then again, he is glad that the academy didn't touch his seed position. So he won't worry about trivial matters anymore. Right now, his concentration is entirely on improving his strength. He

He walked out of the restaurant after completing his meal. He has some plans for his training. His fire element poses a threat to insect monsters.

He couldn't touch these bandits, so he decided to take some risks and confront some of the dangerous insect monsters. He intends to gain some experience by fighting these monsters.

So far, in this insect forest, he and his team have come across a few dangerous insect nests.

But there are still a lot of areas in the insect forest left unexplored by the adventurers. He plans to take his team deep into some of these areas.
