Chapter 35: A Glimpse of the Future

Alice looked at his confident expression. He didn't know why he was so confident about her talent. She didn't even know it herself. She had never once touched a martial tome in her life. However, she felt like something within her was awakened by his words. "Please help me become a martial practitioner, my lord!" There was a fierce glint in her eyes when she uttered these words.

Fredrinn nodded. "Your spirit root will be tested once you arrive in the estate. For the time being, stay with your mother and take care of her." With this, he had gained another subordinate with limitless potential.

[You have changed the direction of Alice Frey's fate. A life that should have been filled with tragedy and bloodshed is altered with your intervention, ultimately changing her destiny. Reward: 5000 Fate Points, 5 Years of Cultivation Experience, 5 Years of Combat Experience, Sword Talent Upgrade Card x1, Fire Affinity Upgrade Card x1, Ice Revolution Divine Method!]

Fredrinn didn't expect that he would receive so many rewards for having Alice as his subordinate.

His cultivation which had only recently stabilized was once again stirred up.

Foundation Establishment 1st Layer

Foundation Establishment 2nd Layer

Foundation Establishment 3rd Layer

Foundation Establishment 4th Layer

Foundation Establishment 5th Layer

Foundation Establishment 6th Layer

His cultivation increased by five layers in one go before it stabilized.

Just then, new memories flooded his mind, making him black out for a second. He felt dizzy so he held his head and closed his eyes.

"Are you alright, my lord?" Alice stood up and held his arm and shoulder while looking at him with confusion.

Fredrinn rubbed his temples as he waved his hand. "I'm fine. I just feel a bit dizzy."

The combat experience he received this time was more brutal. It was like he was truly a soldier who had gone through a fearsome war. The scenes in his mind felt so real.

"Do you want me to call the doctors?"

"There is no need for that. I will be fine with a short rest. You don't need to worry about me." Fredrinn shook his head. If he was to be tested, the doctors might discover his high-grade spirit root. He couldn't let that happen, not unless he had the strength to protect himself and his family.

"Alright."

"Let's go back. Your mother will be worried if we're gone for too long."

"Yes, my lord."

On their way to the VIP room, Fredrinn looked at his character profile.

Fredrinn Firecrown [Foundation Establishment 6th Layer] [Level 26]

Sword Talent: ⭐️

Fire Affinity: ⭐️

Affiliation: Firecrown Household

Skills: Seven Scorching Sword Style

Fate Grade: E (Click to see your future)

Fate Points: 5500

He noticed that his fate grade had changed and there was an additional button. He hadn't checked it yet so clicked to see it.

The borders of the system prompt's screen now had splashes of red. His character profile was displayed on the screen, but his photo wasn't that of his current self. The face in the picture was him, but he looked a bit older.

Fredrinn Firecrown [Core Formation 3rd Layer]

Age of death: 32

Personal Data: He was known as a trash noble of Red Sun City because of his arrogance and lack of talent. However, it was later revealed that he had a high-grade spirit root and a decent talent in swordsmanship. His high cultivation level was also exposed. Everyone believed that he had intentionally hidden his talent and this made the Blackcrow Household feel threatened.

At the age of 32, he joined the Firecrown Household to fight the Blackcrow Household which eventually ended in his death.

'What the hell is this?!' Fredrinn stopped in his tracks, unable to comprehend the situation. What did the system prompt show him? Was it a glimpse of his future? He had no idea and it made him feel a bit terrified.

"My lord, are you feeling dizzy again?" Alice grabbed his waist and put his hand over her shoulder.

He was still in shock so he failed to respond. This made Alice more worried. "My lord, let me guide you to the VIP room."

Fredrinn nodded his head absentmindedly. 'If the information written in the system prompt is true, this means that the Blackcrow Household will attack us in six years.' The reason for their attack was superficial. He guessed that it was only an excuse to eradicate the Firecrown Household and take over the energy stone mine!

Because of his messy thoughts, he didn't realize that they had already returned to the VIP room.

"My lord, what happened?" Olivia rushed over when she saw him being guided by Alice.

Judith also looked worried, while Cain remained expressionless.

Fredrinn was awakened by Olivia's words. "I'm alright. Just prepare some calming tea for me." He patted her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile.

Olivia was still worried, but she still followed his instructions.

Alice helped him sit down. "My lord, do you want anything else?" She asked. She noticed that his face was still pale.

He shook his head. "Don't mind me. I just need some rest. Go and look after your mother."

Alice hesitated, but she still complied. "Just call me if you need anything, my lord."

"Mn."

Fredrinn leaned on the chair and closed his eyes. Learning about his death made him feel very uncomfortable.

'How did my spirit root get exposed?' He thought of countless possibilities, but he couldn't come up with an answer.

At this moment, Olivia returned and handed him a cup of calming tea. "Here's your tea, my lord."

"Thank you." Fredrinn opened his eyes and gulped down the tea.

"Wait! That's hot-"

The burning sensation in his tongue made him calm down.

"My lord…"

Fredrinn handed her the empty cup as he stood up. "I'll go to the bathroom. You guys don't need to follow me. I'll be back right away."

He didn't wait for them to reply and stepped out of the room.

Olivia stared at Alice and asked. "What happened out there?"

The latter shook her head and replied. "I don't know. He suddenly held his head while we were talking."

Olivia furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing that. She recalled the time when they were on their way to the Cloud Lake Pavilion almost two weeks ago. Fredrinn had similar symptoms at that time. 'Is my lord afflicted with some kind of disease?'
