Tenebrous Sovereign

The Light Constitution

"What about hunters?" Dean couldn't help but ask. "Could it be going to the dangerous areas outside the great wall? What dangers are there outside the great wall?" Saying this, terrifying figures couldn't help but emerge in his mind and his face turned pale. Fortunately, his complexion was originally fair, so it wasn't too noticeable.

"You're quite smart." Fino smiled and said. "Outside the great wall..."

"Fino!" The other young man beside him frowned and said. "His identity hasn't been confirmed yet. Don't say too much."

The slightly thinner young man named "Fino" was stunned and shrugged. "It doesn't matter, does it? His radiation value is 0.8 degrees, not exceeding 'one'. Basically, he's definitely of the 'Light Constitution'."

"Don't come to a conclusion before the test!" The other young man frowned and said.

Fino thought for a moment and lowered his head to Dean. "I can only tell you when you pass the test. But then, someone will naturally explain these things to you."

Dean was slightly stunned when he heard their conversation. "The 'Light Constitution'? What is this?"

"You'll know later." Fino smiled mysteriously.

At this time, the three entered the manor. When several gardeners who were sprinkling water saw Fino and the other man, they respectfully nodded and saluted. Along the white stone path paved in the middle of the lawn, the three came to the castle. The more than ten-meter-tall giant door slowly opened. Fino led Dean in and came to one of the spire towers. Along the winding steps, they came to a dark top floor room.

Along the way, they saw a large number of servants. When these people saw Fino and the other man, they all respectfully shouted "My Lord".

Dean looked around this dark room. There were no windows. The only small ventilation window was also covered by a black curtain. Perhaps because it hadn't seen sunlight for a long time, the air in the room was rather cold, like the temperature in the early days of the disaster rainy season.

In the center of the room, there was a solitary metal platform covered with a black cloth. Fino stepped forward and lifted it, revealing a smooth crystal ball. White cold air rose from under the crystal ball. It was actually a pile of ice.

"Come, little guy." Fino took out a sharp knife from the inside of his black leather armor and looked back at Dean and said. "Come here."

Dean saw that he still had a smile on his face and no intention to kill. Only then did he slowly step forward. When he got closer, he suddenly saw that there was an extremely pure white little worm in this almost transparent crystal ball. If not looking carefully, it was almost impossible to see.

"This is a 'Light Worm' that likes to survive in a cold environment." Fino smiled and said. "If you have the Light Constitution, it won't eat your blood." After saying that, he grabbed Dean's small hand and moved it above the crystal ball. There happened to be a small round hole on the top. This crystal ball was actually a container.

With a s***h of the blade, Dean felt a slight pain in his finger and a drop of blood dripped from the fingerprint and precisely landed in the round hole and slid inside.

At this time, the 'Light Worm' that was sleeping soundly inside the crystal ball seemed to be disturbed and woke up from its beautiful dream. It slightly raised its head towards the position where the blood was sliding and seemed to be sniffing. The next moment, it crawled towards the blood.

Seeing this scene, Fino's expression changed and the other young man also frowned.

Dean thought of Fino's previous words and his heart sank.

He saw that the Light Worm quickly crawled to the front of the blood. Next, its body was like a sponge and absorbed the blood. The pure white small body also became slightly blushed, but this blush quickly dissipated and returned to pure white.

"It's impossible..." Fino frowned and muttered. "Could it be that it hasn't eaten for too long and is too hungry?"

He made a s***h with the blade in his hand and cut his finger, dripping blood.

However, the Light Worm didn't even look at it and crawled back to the cold part at the bottom of the crystal ball and curled up.

Fino's face turned gloomy. Without saying a word, he pinched Dean's small hand, quickly made a cut, and dripped blood. As soon as the blood just fell into the crystal ball, the Light Worm crawled over and quickly absorbed it.

"Really not!" Fino seemed somewhat frustrated and released Dean's small hand and also put away his knife.

Dean slightly frowned. At this time, he probably already knew the reason. The "Light Constitution" in Fino's mouth was just that the immune antibodies against radiation in the body were higher than those of ordinary people, so the radiation content in the body was lower than that of ordinary people. People of this constitution were the 'hunter' partners they were looking for, but he himself wasn't. It was just that because he had been out of the cryogenic chamber and exposed to this world for too short a time, the radiation content in his body was not high.

The other young man looked at Dean and said coldly. "It seems your previous family was quite good."

Hearing his even colder voice than before, Dean felt somewhat uncomfortable and also understood the meaning of his words. It seemed that these people had investigated him and knew that he and Mr. and Mrs. Jura were an adoptive relationship. And most likely, they also knew that he hadn't stayed in Meishan Orphanage for long. Saying this was mistakenly thinking that he was a child abandoned by a noble or wealthy family. Only the food and drink in these families were repeatedly filtered and had extremely low radiation.

"Didn't expect it to be just a rich kid who was abandoned. Such a wasted joy." Fino was full of disappointment and sighed.

Dean remained silent and didn't feel disappointed in his heart. Once becoming a hunter, he would have to go to those dangerous areas. Although he didn't know what the dangers were, but it was best not to be the dangers he imagined.

The other young man looked at Dean and said in a cold voice. "Little guy, you must keep what happened here strictly confidential and mustn't spread it out. Including the three words 'hunter', you're not allowed to mention them. Everything you saw and heard here must disappear from your life forever and be forgotten! Understand?"

Was this the limit of authority? Dean nodded and said. "I'll keep my mouth shut."

Seeing that he was so obedient, the chill in the eyes of this young man also slightly lessened. He coldly said to Fino. "Fortunately, your big mouth didn't talk too much. Otherwise, we could only 'deal with' this little guy."

Hearing this, the always calm heart of Dean suddenly surged with a deep chill. His life was nearly lost unknowingly? Suddenly, he deeply realized that in this world, the law couldn't guarantee life. It wasn't that if you abide by the law, you would be safe and sound. In the eyes of some existences, killing might be as simple as mowing grass.

Just like their privileges!

This made him feel chilled and also filled with intense anger!

It was both anger at the threat to his life and anger at the distorted and incomplete rules of this world!

Since the law can't be relied on, I'll make my own rules!

Noble privileges? Hunter privileges?

One day, I'll tear all these to pieces!!

Dean's small hand tightly clenched into a fist. Fino and the other man didn't notice. Perhaps after confirming that Dean wasn't of the Light Constitution, they were too lazy to pay attention to such a small role who would never have any interaction again.

The depth of Dean's gaze was extremely cold. Suddenly, his mentality seemed to be more mature and colder. He secretly decided in his heart that he must make one or two things to protect his life as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he encountered such a thing again and died without knowing why, when he went to hell, how could he face his father and mother who gave him two lives?

"Guns can't be made yet, but gunpowder seems possible..." Some thoughts flashed through his mind.

Fino and the other man had no idea what terrifying weapons were emerging in the mind of this child beside their legs.

"Hey!" Fino still couldn't hide his regret on his face and said to Dean. "Let's go, little guy." There was no trace of the enthusiasm and friendliness from before in his attitude.

"Where to?"

"Need to ask? To where you should go. You must remember for me. Don't mention us to anyone, including your parents. If it's discovered that you leaked the secret, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky."
