Chapter 35 - Adira Silverwind
"Silverwind...its Adira Silverwind,"
Henrick felt something was wrong with the sect leader Gamos; however, he said his mother's full name.
'It's her,' Sect leader Gamos' face visibly shocked and there was some kind of fear in his face.
Sect leader tried to control his emotions. But still, Henrick noticed the change in the Sect leader's face.
So, he hurriedly asked his master, "Master, do you know her?"
However, before the sect leader could answer his question, Henrick shook his head and said, "Nevermind master. My mother said she never even left the Ragos village. So, the chance of you knowing her is very less."
"Yeah. I don't know her. It's just that I am shocked because you left your mother alone and came all the way here,"
The sect leader Gamos immediately covered the reason for his shocked expression and secretly heaved a sigh of relief and thought, 'Why would she send him alone when he has that bloodline.'
This was the doubt in his heart because if some old cultivator saw him, they would go to any lengths to kill him for his bloodline alone and not to forget that now, he had a small amount of internal pure energy inside his dantian.
"That's because I want to cultivate and become powerful and protect my mother," Henrick explained the reason for him coming all the way from the border of a continent to the center of the continent.
"Didn't your mother try to stop you?" The sect leader Gamos believed Henrick's reason; however, he felt Henrick's mother, Adira Silverwind might have other plans for him. So, he continued to ask him.
"She tried but how can she reject the request of his son," Henrick replied with a smirk on his face.
'Idiot...why are you smirking now. You don't even know a thing about your parents,' Seeing the smirk on Henrick's face, the sect leader Gamos snickered in his heart but on the outside, he just nodded his head as though he believed everything Henrick said.
'No wonder, he got that bloodline. It must be from his father. Phew...I did the right thing in not killing him; otherwise,' Sect leader Gamos felt that he took the right decision in not killing Henrick earlier as he thought about Henrick's origins.
Whenever he thought about Henrick's background a shiver ran through his spine and his body unconsciously sweated a lot.
"By the way, master. My mother told me not to say anything relating to my family to anyone. So, please don't say it to anyone," Henrick still doesn't understand why his mother had such a weird request when he left the house to attend the four-sects meeting.
"Then why did you say that to me. If your mother knows that you broke her promise she will be sad," Even though he said that to Henrick, inside his heart he cursed Henrick, 'You idiot, why did you say about your origins to me when your mother clearly told you not to tell anyone? Do you want me to die that badly?'
'What should I do now?'
'She must have already known that I know about her,'
'Damn it'
Many thoughts were running in his head as he became anxious because he knew how terrifying Adira Silverwind could be.
Moreover, there was a rumour that whenever someone thinks about her, she would know immediately.
"Haha...I never broke a promise that I made with my mother till now," Henrick laughed as he continued, "She also said that if someone I trust asks me about my origins, I don't need to hide about my origins."
"Really?" Sect leader Gamos calmed down immediately and asked to confirm Henrick's words.
"Yes, that is what she said," Henrick, once again felt that the sect leader Gamos was acting somewhat differently once again.
After confirming Henrick's words the second time, he felt relieved.
'Phew'
Sect leader Gamos never felt this relief in his entire life.
The reason Henrick didn't hesitate to say about all his details to the sect leader Gamos was he felt that his master was a good person and he never felt this kind of feeling before except for the Elder Eagor.
However, Elder Eagor didn't ask him about his parents, so he never said anything to him.
"So, master, do you still have any questions to ask me,"
Even after waiting for a while, he still didn't hear any questions from his master, so he asked his master whether there were any more questions for him to ask.
'Should I ask him about his father? No, he seems very sensitive to that topic and I better not ask many questions in care. I face the wrath of his mother,' Gamos thought to ask some questions about his father; however, seeing how sensitive Henrick was when he mentioned his father earlier, he immediately rejected that idea.
"No. I don't have any more questions to ask," Sect leader Gamos replied to Henrick while shaking his head.
"Now, I have a question to ask you, master. After that you can start explaining to me about cultivation realms and other things, you promised to say earlier,"
Since there were no more questions for him, he said he would ask a question of his own.
"Sure. Ask it right away," Sect leader Gamos nodded his head.
"Master, earlier you said something about the innate skill and my body is aching because I awakened that innate skill. What is that?"
Earlier, when he woke up from his sleep, his master said that his body was aching because he had awakened some innate skill. So, he asked about it.
"Innate skill?"
Sect leader Gamos muttered in a low voice and looked at Henrick's eyes which were filled with curiosity.
