Nameless King

Chapter 312 Purity Of Blood

Wain was full of energy and ready to explore the new world, but before he did, there was something he wanted to do. Telling Axalt and Forgotten about the Blood Arena gave Wain some interesting thoughts.

"Edena." Wain said, walking into the alchemists' cave.

"Yes? I'm here." The girl said, coming out of the room. She was dressed in a long robe that was stained in many places. Her hair was messy, and there were big bags under her eyes.

"Your blood purity is pretty low. Right?"

Edena nodded her head dejectedly, "Yeah... Before you gave me the vial of blood essence, I only had 3%."

"I see. How did you know the exact value? I don't know what my blood purity is and thought it would be a good idea to find out."

p "Sure, that's no problem, our equipment will suffice. I just need to take some blood from you, and I can tell you the result in a few minutes."

"Great. Can you do it now?"

"Yes, just give me time to get ready. Come on in the lab." Edena said, pointing to the aisle behind her.

Wain sat down in a chair, and Edena brought everything she needed. The Constructs were the most technologically advanced race, and the simple equipment was enough for Edena to know the purity of Wain's blood.

She stuck a syringe into Wain's arm and drained the blood. Then she poured the blood into a test tube and stuck it into a special compartment in the equipment.

After a few minutes, Edena muttered, "Strange...your blood is not in the general database where there are dozens of different races."

"Maybe it's because I'm a human."

Edena was surprised but didn't show it. Earlier, Elegan had told her what race Wain was, but she had not heard it from him personally so far.

"Yes, in that case, I can't say anything. I don't have samples to compare, and I don't know what the blood of the humans looks like."

"Is there some way to find out?"

"Of course, but I'm not sure it's possible to do that now. To determine the purity of your blood, I need data. It must be on the bases of Constructs that know of the existence of the humans."

"Hmm. That sounds rather problematic."

Edena shrugged, "I have no other options."

"Actually, there is another way." Lui Bu said, approaching them, "Sorry, I overheard your conversation."

"I don't think there's any point in getting information from some base of Constructs, especially in these current times. Many people don't know that humans exist, but that's not the main problem. You need data to verify, and for that, you need the blood of the humans. Where do ordinary Constructs get humans blood from?"

"Yes, you're right. It's doubtful that I could find what I need on a random base of the Constructs. Even if I do find out where to go, I probably won't be able to capture it." Wain uttered.

Wain didn't know how strong the humans, who had been banished long ago, were, but he was sure they were superior to the Second Chronicle. He understood that finding even a single copy of the blood of the humans was a difficult task, let alone a full-fledged data set.

"Lui Bu, do you have some other way?"

"Yes, Axalts has a way to find out the percentage of blood purity, and you don't need someone else's blood to do it. You need to get the Bloodstone of your respective Chronicle, and then the problem will be solved."

"Shit, where do I get this stone?"

"In caves or mines in the territories of Axalts or buy it at auctions. Axalt often holds them, and you're sure to find some Bloodstones there. I'm not sure if they hold auctions now, but they will certainly resume in the near future."

"I see. How much is one stone worth approximately?"

"I'm not sure, but I've heard that about a thousand Void Souls would be worth a stone the size of a fingernail. I'd advise you to prepare a few thousand so that you can win it for sure and get the stone."

"Eh, okay, I hear you."

"Wait." Edena said, "We're talking about Blood Purity, and I'm sure the Vampires must have unique ways. They have a better understanding of blood than the other races, and if you have acquaintances from that race, I'm sure they can help you."

"That's not a bad option." Wain nodded and headed for the exit. His Seal of Darkness flashed brightly, and the space in front of him turned to ink. However, Wain did not step into the space gap.

It didn't take me more than an hour to fight. Forgotten didn't even have time to go on a mission, but in doing so, I got enough souls to improve my skills and increased my level by 3. Do I have to go back now?'

Only now did Wain realize how good it was to be a human. Other races couldn't afford to get hundreds of souls and instantly become stronger and level up.

Other races needed time to purify their souls, but they didn't need to fight to get stronger. They could use the money to get resources filled with energy or accumulate energy for months from the environment.

"Huh, I just now really realized that no one can develop as fast as humans. Isn't that crazy?" Wain uttered and opened another portal leading to the arena.

Until then, he had been fighting to survive and keep up with the strongest in the world most of the time. It was customary for Wain to become stronger through combat, but it was the exception to the rule and something unrealistic for the other races.

Wain realized that humans were the most efficient hunters of any race. He could simply fight in the arena and devour thousands of souls in hours, an unattainable goal for anyone but him and the other humans.

"Hmm, what should I choose this time? Would something on a larger scale do?" Wain smirked at the soaring ruins around him.
