Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Visiting Lucas at the Clinic
It took them slightly over an hour to decide how the profits would be distributed. As the main contributor, House Silversword would take most cut while the two households would receive less even if they combined their shares. Furthermore, both households would also have to cough up the capital to start the business.

Despite the unreasonable distribution of shares, both House Heinrich and House Paxley were willing to take the risk. They were confident in the success of the business so they agreed with Alaric’s terms.

After their discussion, Jared and Smith continued fishing with the elven warriors, while Alaric headed to the clinic to check his father’s condition.

The clinic was near the central square of the kingdom and Alaric happened to encounter some elven warriors.

“It’s Lord Alaric!”

“Lord Alaric!”

The elven warriors stopped to greet him. They had witnessed the human warriors’ ferocity and skills in battle, but the ones who stood out were Lucas and Alaric.

The former displayed his unrivaled power and he had even killed a monster that was about to cross the Catastrophe-grade!

On the other hand, Alaric showcased his amazing leadership that was worthy of praise.

Alaric waved his hand at the elven warriors. He smiled at them and asked. “Can you guys tell me where the clinic is located? I have been walking around for a while, but I am not familiar with the road.”

Hearing this, one of them immediately responded. “You just need to go straight, my lord. At the end of this path, you have to turn left…”

“Thank you. I will see you guys later.” Alaric cupped his fists at the elven warriors before he left.

He followed the direction that the elven warriors had told him and he soon found himself in front of a big treehouse.

From outside, he could already smell the heavy scent of herbs and medicine.

The elven warriors guarding the clinic didn’t stop him from entering.

A while later, Alaric found Lucas inside one of the rooms. Due to the large number of injured soldiers, his father had to share the room with a human warrior and three elven warriors. Furthermore, all of them were familiar faces.

Dahon, Aegris, and uh…who is this guy again? Is it Arsel or something? Whatever…

As for the human warrior, it was someone from House Heinrich. The guy was heavily injured so the elves sent a 1-Ringed Beast Soul Master with a healing integrated monster trait to monitor his condition.

“My lord.” Alaric bowed to Lucas.

The latter was already in better condition, but he still needed a week to fully recover. This made Alaric feel relieved.

“Alaric… How are you, son?” Lucas smiled upon seeing him. He beckoned to Alaric and gestured at him to sit on the chair next to his bed.

Alaric took his seat and replied. “I have been well, my lord. I got Sir Neo to engrave an ability on my short sword.”

While saying this, he grabbed the Frigid Dragon Sword and handed it to Lucas.

Lucas was surprised when he felt the coldness of the sword. He hadn’t even unsheathed the sword, but it was already emitting intense coldness that could greatly affect ordinary people.

This is not an ordinary relic-level sword!

He could tell that it had already exceeded the power of a relic-level weapon.

Lucas slowly pulled the sword from the scabbard, revealing an incredibly sharp blade with splashes of blue.

Good sword!

“The sword’s icy attribute was enhanced by Sir Neo’s engraved ability. You should thank him. He must have consumed a lot of energy during the engraving process.” Said Lucas as he handed the sword back to Alaric.

“Yes, my lord. I will visit Sir Neo later to express my gratitude.” Alaric nodded in agreement.

“You should leave. There is nothing for you to do here. The healers are taking care of us so you do not need to worry.” Lucas waved his hand, signaling for him to leave.

Alaric was already satisfied to see his father recovering well so he didn’t linger for long and left after bidding him farewell.

After Alaric left, Ryzel who had his eyes closed suddenly sat up straight. He then looked at Lucas and said. “You have a good son, Lord Lucas.”

Ryzel also had a son, but he didn’t possess a soul mark and he wasn’t cut out to become a warrior. He envied Lucas for having an amazing son like Alaric.

Lucas was taken aback. He didn’t expect the stern elven general to open up a conversation.

“I am lucky. I did not want him to become a warrior, but he surpassed my expectations. He is not even twenty yet, but he is already an Elite Knight.” He felt proud when he said these words.

Ryzel snorted. He knew that Lucas wasn’t showing off, but he felt even more jealous.

Lucas raised an eyebrow and stared at him with an innocent look. He wondered why the elven general’s mood had suddenly changed.

What a moody elf… Is he bipolar or something?

Meanwhile, Alaric headed to Neo’s residence which wasn’t far from the clinic. He asked around to get the exact location and he later arrived in front of a humble treehouse sitting on the branch of a towering tree.

What should I do? Should I call him or should I wait here?

Alaric was stumped. He didn’t know the elven customs so he didn’t know what to do.

Just then, someone suddenly stepped out of the treehouse. It was Neo, the very person that he was looking for. “Lord Alaric, please come inside. Someone is waiting for you.”

Alaric was surprised, but he still nodded and jumped onto the branch with a single leap.

Whoosh!

He followed Neo inside the treehouse and saw Yvanna sitting on the chair, looking completely relaxed while drinking her morning tea.

“Yvanna!” Alaric exclaimed, wondering what she was doing in Neo’s treehouse.

Looking at his expression, Yvanna explained herself. “Elder Neo is like a second father to me. I always visit his treehouse for a cup of tea. Come and sit with me. Elder Neo’s tea is much better than the ones you drink in your town.”
