Chapter 64: Limitless Wealth
"I am not an Earth Mage."
Malcolm was once again interrupted by Lucien, only this time, he said something that left him totally confused.
"Sigh... like I said, my class is not an Earth Mage."
Lucien finally couldn’t help it. This gramps loved him too much and wouldn’t listen.
And moreover, he wasn’t wrong. Lucien had experienced firsthand how dangerous a mere demonic seed could be.
Even his system had warned him before.
But he also knew the reason why he could have Devourer as his class was because of the Seed of Greed.
In fact, each of the four classes he had awakened had some connection with what he owned.
For example, Enchanter was related to a partial seed of Lust he owned; Mage was probably related to the skill he gained from the D-rank Earth Dragon before.
As for the Assassin, his skill Shadowstep probably played a role.
In fact, he was confused why he still didn’t have the Beast Tamer class when he already owned Little Guy as his pet. But now that he thought about it, he still didn’t know how to use Soul Link and needed help from the system.
"You... are not an Earth Mage? Then... what class are you?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Malcolm couldn’t help but ask, although he wasn’t too surprised. After all, he already had some doubts about his class once he saw him use teleportation.
"Eh... what class I have isn’t important. Just know that my class is a little uncommon and needs things like Demonic Seeds to power up."
Lucien didn’t want to lie to his grandfather, so he just vaguely glossed over it.
"Demonic force to power up? What kind of class is that?"
Malcolm was confused but saw that Lucien was standing awkwardly with his mouth shut. It seemed his grandson had no intention of disclosing his class to him at all.
He was just making him curious and doing nothing to ease his doubts.
"You brat, now when I ask you something, you suddenly get smart?"
He couldn’t help but curse, to which Lucien only showed a dry laugh and said nothing.
Lucien was clearly only trying to say "Don’t worry" to him and had no intention of disclosing his secret at all.
"Sigh... I feel like if I stay a little longer with you, I might die before old age."
Malcolm sighed exaggeratedly and turned around to face the floating orb.
"Forget it. It’s good that you have the conscience to keep your class a secret. But I still warn you to be careful. Don’t depend too much on this."
Lucien saw his grandfather finally seemed to have accepted everything and sighed in relief.
Then, feeling that it was now time to ask about the vault, he started,
"Grandpa, then, what about my—"
"Okay, I know what you want. Don’t you just want to own this entire Dimensional Vault?"
Malcolm said, turning around looking at him unpleasantly.
"Why do you want this anyway? Is this related to your class, too?" He asked, making Lucien speechless.
"Cough... kind of. You can think so."
Poor guy, what could he say? Lucien just bit his lip and agreed shamelessly.
"Tch... you and your secrets. Let them rot in your graves, I don’t want it."
Malcolm murmured unpleasantly but still placed his hand slowly on the hovering orb that was pulsing with shifting lights.
Then, after a moment, he suddenly left the orb, faced Lucien, and instructed,
"Pinch out a drop of blood and place it atop the Core Orb. Once it recognizes your bloodline, you’ll be able to form a mental connection with this entire treasure vault. Just place your hand and close your eyes at that time."
"Yes, Grandfather." Lucien’s eyes lit up with excitement as he immediately stepped forward, ready to claim ownership.
He didn’t even care that his grandfather was watching his reaction curiously.
’Let me see what you are planning.’
Malcolm wasn’t an idiot. Though Lucien had shown greed before, he could tell it wasn’t just about the treasures.
He knew that his grandson might need to do this because of his strange class.
After all, both the Demonic Force and the World of Origin were too unusual and beyond his knowledge.
He couldn’t just come to a conclusion blindly.
’As long as he doesn’t squander the wealth outside, letting him own it isn’t such a bad idea.’
Malcolm thought, not realizing he might have just jinxed himself.
While his grandfather was musing behind, Lucien on the other hand pinched his finger with his nail and poured a drop of blood atop the hovering orb.
Then, after seeing it absorb his blood completely, he placed his right hand on top and closed his eyes trying to make the connection.
Swish!
As soon as Lucien closed his eyes, he felt a faint energy escaping from the orb, shooting straight toward his mind. Then, in no time, he sensed a strange mental connection forming with the obsidian orb.
Suddenly, through this connection, Lucien discovered he could now sense and control the entire treasure vault.
It was as if a detailed map had unfolded in his mind, revealing the locations of countless chambers scattered across different levels.
With a mere thought, he could open or close doors, shift walls, or even access the lower-level vaults filled with various resources and treasures.
However, just as his grandfather had said, the higher-level vaults remained firmly sealed off, protected by barriers he couldn’t bypass.
’Woah, it is so big.’
Only now did he realize that this Dimensional Treasure Vault was bigger than he had thought. There were even hidden chambers that weren’t visible to the naked eye.
However, although Lucien wanted to enjoy the vast amount of wealth, he couldn’t, as he suddenly heard a prompt in his mind from his system.
Ding!
[Congratulations! Your wealth has increased immensely.]
[Calculating the amount of wealth you own. Please wait...]
[Wealth far beyond the host’s level detected. Unlocking a new feature...]
Lucien finally heard the series of prompts he had been waiting for from the beginning. Hearing the continuous notifications, he couldn’t help but smile and think,
’Fuck, I am rich!’
