Card Apprentice Daily Log Chapter 160: Silver Milk

Chapter 160: Silver Milk

Yes! I did not want to repeat my past mistakes but this was not my past to right my wrongs. When Chris, Amanda and Maya narrated mama and papa Wyatt’s life experiences I knew I could not look at this world with earth gla.s.ses on because this was not Earth, to begin with. Heck people here do not know what the world they live in is called because they could not explore the world beyond the numerous high-level dungeons that are surrounding them. People here are restricted to a limited land to live in much like the monsters limited by their dungeon.

Colour me surprised when I knew that almost all of the low and middle-level bureaucrats and n.o.ble families of the Sky blossom city were dogs of the Circle while some of the top and high-level bureaucrats and n.o.bles were the loyal members of the Circle. All in all the whole Sky blossom City was the Circle’s backyard. With such a powerful and cruel enemy how could I hope to live in peace with my loved ones?

After learning the reason for mama and papa Wyatt’s death I knew without enough strength I did not have the choice to live a peaceful life. Not to mention now that the circle knew I had the same origin card as mama Wyatt it would not let me have my freedom let alone live a peaceful life. Aura sight is a very resourceful origin card that is key in the Circle reaching its goal. That is why I or the Kane trio do not understand why the Circle killed papa and mama Wyatt despite their obvious usefulness. Disposing of the useful tool was not like the Circle, it is a mystery I had to solve. Anyway, they needed a new tool and I was it. They are waiting for me to spread my wings before they shackle me and show me my place as their obedient tool.

I have been too high profile recently and the circle should have already learnt all about my growth and it’s only a matter of time before the circle decides I have grown enough and comes looking for me. Knowing what the future had in store for me changed my mind about this world along with my ideals and morals within a few deep minutes. I was feeling guilty about using the calamity daughter core to cure Chris, Amanda and Maya, as rust turning them into my subordinates but learning the cruel reality about this world where I or anyone I hold dear could die any time the guilt was no longer there instead I no longer intended to hold back my power. I was going to make use of the parent/daughter core and build a loyal and strong army greater than the Circle and its circle of influence.

Therefore there wasn’t a shred of guilt in me when I tricked Van, Sarah, Pablo or Fred into ingesting calamity daughter core. Since they are my subordinates I won’t take them for granted or treat them badly. They all would have their free will as long as they stayed loyal to me.

Location- Sky Blossom City, D-rank Silver beach gate dungeon.

Having upgraded their grimoire I ordered Pablo and Fred to help Sarah in the merger of the three guilds. For now, those three had their hands full with the creation of the new guild. There should not be any opposition since the trusted representative of their late guild themselves agrees to the merger and also because with most of the elite adventurers of the guild dead it would be very hard for the guilds to stand alone.

Even though the adventurers of the three guilds knew that some powerful force out there had just ma.s.sacred most of the guild members and the guild leaders they did not choose to leave the guilds because they knew it did not matter if they left the guild if the enemy wanted to wipe out the very last member of the guilds. Not to mention no guilds will recruit them knowing they abandoned their old guild in time of need.

While Sarah was busy announcing the merger of three guilds along with Ferd and Pablo. Van and I visited the D-rank Silver beach gate dungeon. Where I made a huge discovery.

I had asked Van to find a suitable E-rank or above dungeon belonging to three guilds for me to feed its dungeon core. My reason to feed on a dungeon core was the dungeon calamity seed and its habit of exclusively feeding on a dungeon core in hopes of reaching a higher evolution. I thought maybe devouring a dungeon core would be the third condition to unlock the 3rd transformation of my origin card calamity soul core. Van did as I asked him to and he found two dungeons matching my requirements one was D-rank and another one was C-rank. So I chose to visit the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon.

The inhabitant monsters of the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon were giant poisonous crabs. If not for the poisonous part these crabs would be sought after for their meat. The crabs are not to be blamed; they are not poisonous by birth, it’s the ocean water they feed on that is poisonous. Yes, the topography of the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon had a small beach with a part of the ocean.

The water of the Ocean in the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon was silver in colour due to an unknown poison in it. Therefore the gate dungeon was named silver beach.

After visiting the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon I discovered that the poisoned ocean believed by the adventurers was not a sort of poison but silver milk. I was able to tell because I had created this silver milk in my lab back on earth. If I remember correctly, silver milk was just a byproduct produced during the production of the Viltronian superhuman serum I had created to fight the Viltronian b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
