World Development System-Chapter 292

Chapter 292: 292

Friedreich nodded and spoke, "I will tell you the truth, Currently, most of them are vying for your Mana Restoring pills for improvement in cultivation and your latest weapons for domination . You would most likely face a war in about 5-10 years when they develop weapons to counter you . The situation of Bluesea domain is quite problematic and hence I can't lend Vlad to you without a good reason . "

Fredric showed a helpless expression as he sighed and continued, "However it is possible to lend him but I only have one request, i . e . I hoped that you would ally with me and go for a political marriage with Diana . As far as I know, Diana likes you so there shouldn't be any problem and I wouldn't have proposed this in the first place if she didn't like you, I am sure even you have seen a different behavior from her for quite some time . "

He continued with an earnest expression, "I wouldn't be forced but Our domain is in such a situation . Currently, the problem is that Prince Chad is vying for Diana's favor for the political power of the Bluesea family to fight against his brothers and from now on Apollyon too would try court us since he would want to invade you from my borders to catch you unaware later on and also to make a good grip on Bluesea Duchy . In my opinion, This marriage between you and Diana will certainly solidify our relationship and create a buffer zone for your borders against the schemes of Fire-abyss . Previously as well we prevented them from using our domain to invade Aelius on Vlad's instructions and hence kept strict patrols . Apollyon and others might now try to rock my boat by funding my brother Draco and build up schemes so it would be problematic for you in the future as well if he gets power in my family . "

John thought deeply and understood that what Friedreich said was not wrong when it came to the internal affairs of the Bluesea domain and Fire-abyss kingdom .

Melanie immediately roared as she had expected some schemes from Friedreich and spoke, "Bullshit, You shameless old coot you are just finding a reason to tie down John with your old favors and placing him in a difficult situation . John, I have not requested anything with you but if you agree with this then you will have to marry Eva and those girls as well . I won't take no for an answer . Those lasses are even making a dress for your Crowning ceremony just to express their feelings just so you notice it . I won't wait any longer if this goes on and you fall in this old coot's trap . And don't think that I don't know that you act dense purposely to avoid the feelings of those girls . "

Melanie thought, 'I hope this can make John reject this old coot . Nah, most likely he won't since he has put John in such a problematic situation . '

John was about to nod as he thought of Melanie's words which made a lot of sense but suddenly Friedreich spoke immediately .

Friedreich smiled as he spoke decisively, "What if I allow Vlad to become the Defence minister in your domain without any restrictions . So don't reject it quickly . Additionally, we are tied to you already after my help to you in the previous war and hence there is a peculiar situation for me currently . This tie-up with you can only be broken if I make a political marriage of Diana with other heirs, Chad or one of the children of other Dukes . However, If this alliance with you is done, then Fire-abyss family won't make their move easily as Duchy of Thorns, Duchy of Bluesea and your influence will make a balance of power against their bloc . Duchy of Thorns has a grudge against Fire-abyss family for scheming against their daughter Apophis by giving her location to Aelius when she was at Aelius . Their scheme was to make Lukavv the enemy of Lionheart and also to make the Thorn family the vanguard in the next war in which they succeeded . This was only known after 3 years of investigation from our side . This is one of the reasons why I don't trust them easily when it comes to a political marriage or anything . And there is one more thing, Diana would surely not agree to a political marriage unless she is marrying someone whom she loves and hence I proposed this as I know of her thinking from a young age . I am sure she would rather run away rather than agree to this sort of marriage . "

Friedreich thought as he looked at John's hesitating face, 'I guess this push should work regardless of Melanie's roaring, maybe I should add more benefits and he will be unable to reject it . Anyway, I have nothing to lose for now . '

Vlad too smiled and didn't meet John's eyes as he too was involved in this scheme of Duke Friedreich to make John his son-in-law and was in favor of John marrying Diana and hence he was rejecting John for a long time to take any ministerial post as a bargaining chip for Lord Duke .

Melanie meanwhile thought, 'This scheming old coot . It's good that I came to this meeting or else he would have surely to snatched my disciple with his schemes under my eyes . '

Looking at John's hesitance, Friedreich took out a vial of blood as he offered it to John, "To offer my sincerity, I will offer you our Ancestral blood of the first ancestor . This blood is useful to all the species and can improve the body of anyone absorbing it via our magic cultivation technique . We demons usually integrate about 60% of blood and people of our family integrate about 80% while other species will integrate about 10% to 40% depending on the capacity of their bodies . "

This time, both Melanie and Vlad were quite stunned after watching Friedreich take out the ancestral blood as they knew about the scarcity of Ancestral blood as it was usually only given to heirs who would inherit the duchy or very important retainers who would safeguard it .

Looking at the reactions of both Melanie and Vlad, John too got interested and took the blood vial in his hands and started to scan it with his AI, Sarah . Suddenly Sarah's voice came inside his head . John wanted to give blood vial to Friedreich immediately but Friedreich clasped the bottle in John's hand .

Friedreich spoke seriously as he took his hand back, "Don't reject it . Take your time to reject till your crowning ceremony as this is the highest form of sincerity from me . "

After successful scanning, Sarah's voice came .

[Detecting very high-quality Demon blood . Beneficial for the user's body to improve it multiple folds . Probable Integration percentage, 95%-100% . Integrating the blood immediately with Body and Soul cleansing method to remove the scanning of that voyeur up in the sky . ]

Suddenly the blood started coming out of the vial without anyone's notice and started integrating with John's body as Magic flowed out of John's body subconsciously and covered the blood vial .

Immediately All the people present were stunned as they saw the subconscious reaction of the blood and integrating with John's body .

Friedreich thought, 'Subconscious reaction of Blood without the magical technique of our clan? How is this possible? Damn it, It can't be helped . I better help him integrate it now or else the blood will be wasted . I hope it at least reaches 30% of the integration since we haven't prepared anything . '

Melanie too reacted quickly and used her healing technique on John as most of the time it would create a backlash during a blood integration even with multiple preparations .

Melanie then spoke immediately, "Vlad go to my pharmacy and immediately bring the Blue Phoniex herb, Blood of a Golden Crow, 5 Snow fruits and a vial of Potion from the inner cabinet which you know of . It has a label of Life rejuvenating potion . "

Friedreich nodded to Vlad immediately as he provided the demon energy to John to stabilize his condition . Meanwhile, Vlad Immediately left via the window and headed to bring the required ingredients for John .

At this time, Blood was integrating with John's body in a very steady pace as there weren't any signs of backlash till now . After Half an hour Vlad came with Melanie's First aid kit along with all the required important ingredients .

Friedreich observed closely and spoke, "Now this is suspicious . I have never seen such a steady integration of Ancestral blood even in our family . What is going on? It is as if he is the Ancient Ancestor himself . It seems Purification as well is top-notch, at least better than our technique . "

After one hour, Melanie started healing John and spoke, "It seems he is losing magic energy at a fast pace because of such high purification and integration . Vlad, give John the Potion in small intervals while I prepare the other potion . It will be done immediately . "

Sarah's voice was continuously coming inside John's head as he was concentrating on integrating the blood .

[Using Life-rejuvenating Potions instead of Life energy to purify the Blood . Purification is at 31% currently . ]

John's body was meanwhile showing changes as the integration continuously took place . While at the same time both Melanie and Friedreich were getting shocked every minute after watching the purification and integration of the blood into John's body .

Friedreich murmured, "How is this possible, his body is continuously purifying the ancestral blood without any leakage of the same . Is he our ancestor in disguise? I should check his blood and energy if he has any features of a demon . Hmm . . . No . . it seems he is completely a human . How is it possible for integration to be above 50% for a non-demon . "

During this process, there were four moments where John was about to start using his root life force and was only helped by Melanie, Friedreich and once by the System to cope up with the problem .

Meanwhile, in the other realm, one of the angels under Irmela suddenly lost the viewing capacity under John's domain . Suddenly there was fog over John and his domain as the Angel roared, "What the hell is this? How is this possible . "

The Angel headed and met Irmela as he reported, "Milord, we have lost contact and can't see that Sinner John neither his domain . What should we do? It looks like he has formed a contract with one of those guys from other species . "

John too was quite surprised that such a transformation had taken place and changed his status from being watched .

It was only now that Melanie, Friedreich and Vlad calmed down after watching the complete integration of Blood with John's body . All of them had shocked reactions on their faces as this was the first time that the integration of blood had gone so smoothly without any mishaps with a complete 100% purification .
