Chapter 74: Ch 74: The Influential Family's Powers

Rein, Stella, Tasha and Kagura met up with Lauren in a city which was close to the place where this influential family lived. The name of this influential family was the Okniser family and they had a history of several hundred thousand years.

This was a very long amount of time and keeping the family heritage for some a long amount of time was proof that this family really was quite powerful.

One of the main reasons why they were able to last so long was because they had never been too ostentatious. For that reason, the outside world knew very little about them.

The place where they lived was in the middle of nowhere and their extremely large house was surrounded by several high performance barriers.

Due to the effect of one such barrier, a person without having the strength of at least a Platinum rank would not be able to even see the house. So it was a kind of initial test to judge if one was qualified to enter their property or not.

They were also known for showing great hospitality to any one above the strength of Mithril and sometimes offered high paying jobs to them other than the flower blooming job. So, their reputation among the powerhouses was also quite high.

For that reason, the chance of Lauren facing any kind of danger here was actually low. But still Rein was a worrywart for his wives and he always took extra precautions.

...

All five of them were walking in an area that looked somewhat between a forest and a grassland. Very soon all of them were able to see a large mansion up front. This mansion was 8 stories high and was also quite wide at the same time. It was one of the biggest structures Lauren had ever seen.

If she had not seen the royal castle of the Xetremelia Empire then it would have been the largest structure she had ever seen.

Even for Rein, Stella and Tasha who had seen many gigantic things, this was still a very impressive mansion. Rein had seen a few other hidden ancient families like this, but among them this family had to be one of the better ones.

The barrier surrounding the house did not pose any problem for them and all of them were able to cross it easily. This house was surrounded by a 15 meter tall wall and the gate was also just as big. In front of the gate, a mechanical structure was keeping watch.

It was a giant armour-like puppet made using a black ore.

Rein did not know the name of the ore but his Eye of Truth judged this ore to be of quite a high quality. Stella identified this ore to be called "Mandine" and it was a rare ore that could only be found in Nodvec continent. So it was extremely rare to see it in the central Ingrisia continent.

This building actually had quite a few countermeasures for these types of things. But Stella's ability was just way too overpowered and she was able to bypass them.

But still even she would not be able to hide her proving from these security measures for too long, so she was happy with her mind acceleration coming in handy.

While walking behind Maria, Rein heard everything that Stella found out with her search. The most interesting thing that she heard was about the strongest person present here.

Rein did not use his Eye of Truth here, so they were still not sure but Rein believed that Stella would at least be very close to the right answer.

According to her, the strongest person living in this mansion was a blue grade transcendental powerhouse according to the measurement system that Rein had developed. One should know that it was extremely rare for anyone to transcend the normal ranking system.

And for a person to reach the blue grade, it was even rarer.

So this finally having a blue grade transcendental person truly made it to be one of the big powers of this world but it was still not enough to call themselves a superpower. But for a single family to have this much power was truly impressive.

Other than the strongest blue grade, there was another transcendental powerhouse in this family but he was only a purple grade. And it also looked like he had used up all his potential to reach this rank so it was extremely hard for him to make any progress in the future.

After Rein used his Eye of Truth to take a good look at everything, he was able to understand all of these in more detail. The blue grade transcendental person whom Stella saw was actually the founder of this family.

Rein was easily able to judge that as all the bloodlines of this family were connected to him.

Also that person's race was a bit special.

He was a hybrid of a dragon and a dark elf. When two people of different races met to create a baby, most of the time the baby would be a pure born of one race, either father's or mother's. But in some rare cases, a child could be born with the features of both races.

These children were called hybrids or in a more derogatory term, half of the dominant race.

Rein had seen a few halfs before and half elves were most common among them. Rein's girlfriend Lauren was a half elf herself. But a half of a dragon and a dark elf was super rare and Rein had never seen one before.

As Rein was thinking all these, Maria entered a hidden door and they found themselves in a different garden. Now it was time for Lauren to begin her challenge.
