As Alvin listened to Charlotte's words, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
"What exactly is this dragon speaker's bloodline talent?"
Charlotte said, "This is Merlin's bloodline talent. In Merlin's time, wizards were considered ominous, so anyone discovered would be burned at the stake. King Uther, the ruler at the time, was unable to have children. After launching a coup to seize power, he used ancient magic to make a deal with the gods, hoping that the gods would grant him a child! However, although ancient magic was magical, it had many limitations. For example, if you gained something, you would lose something. While King Uther gained a new life, the gods also took the life of his wife, Igraine. Therefore, King Uther hated magic and strictly forbade any magic from appearing in his country, otherwise he would die!"
"At the time, Merlin was just a magic apprentice. By chance, he met the last great dragon in the world and learned about his talent as a dragon rider! He could speak dragon language and use it to wield dragon magic! Later, he divided his bloodline into four, each of which became the Dragon Speaker talents of the four great families! According to the information Merlin left behind, each of the four bloodlines has its own unique uses. If the four bloodlines are combined and activated through special means, the complete Dragon Rider bloodline can be obtained!"
Erwin understood. No wonder he felt this setting was so familiar.
Isn’t this the setting of Merlin?
Merlin the Dragon Rider is the last dragon rider in the world. The dragons in that setting are completely different from the dragons today.
Today's dragons have no other advantages except the ability to breathe fire and having a strong body.
But the dragons of that era could use dragon magic.
Dragon magic can destroy the heavens and the earth, and it is truly powerful magic.
He is also the darling of the world and is extremely powerful.
It had been so long that Erwin couldn't remember many details.
It seems that this dragon rider talent has some other settings.
But Erwin forgot.
Erwin asked, "You just said that the bloodlines of the four families merged into one?"
Charlotte nodded. "Yes, only the chosen heirs of the four great families will possess the blood of the Dragon Speaker. The blood of the four Dragon Speakers can devour each other through certain specific means and ancient rituals!"
Erwin said, "So, the reason you're by my side is to devour my blood?"
Charlotte smiled bitterly: "No, my bloodline has been devoured!"
Erwin was slightly shocked. "Has it been devoured? Was it Alva or Dimos who did it?"
Charlotte shook her head: "No, it's Solent!"
Erwin frowned. "Didn't you say that the Lower Four were thugs supported by the Upper Four? How could he devour your blood? Are you still hiding it?"
Looking at the unhappy expression on Erwin's face.
Charlotte quickly knelt on one knee: "My lord! I am not hiding anything. What I said is true. The Solent family are lowly bastards and thieves. They got some strange tricks from who knows where. They took advantage of the war between the Theresa family and the Dimos family and attacked from behind to wipe out the Theresa family! And they took away my bloodline power. If the Theresa family hadn't used some tricks to send me to England, I would have died!"
Erwin looked at Charlotte and felt that Charlotte's tone did not seem to be false.
"So, what you're saying is that your Theresa family has been attacked by your servants?"
Charlotte's face was filled with humiliation, but it was indeed true.
Erwin became interested. "That's quite interesting! Their own slaves can't be managed well, and they turn against their masters. Do the other four families have this method?"
Charlotte shook her head. "Probably not. The current heir of the Solent family is a very ambitious man! He is obsessed with ancient magic, and therefore, he is one of the few people in this era who possesses the talent for ancient magic and can make deals with gods! His methods must be through trading with gods through ancient magic!"
Erwin pondered for a moment. Ancient magic talent? He seemed to have it, but he hadn't unlocked it.
So this talent is the ability to make deals with so-called gods?
It seems to be quite fun.
Erwin asked, "Then, one last question! Why did Merlin leave behind the inheritance of these four families? What was his purpose?"
Charlotte shook her head. "I don't know. Merlin never mentioned it, and there's no record of it in the family! I only know that this is related to a very important matter, but no one knows the details. If someone could obtain the title of Merlin, they should be able to know the truth!"
Erwin understood. It seemed like it was another process of decryption.
However, Charlotte has revealed quite a bit of information today!
Alvin was quite satisfied. At least many of the things that he couldn't understand now had answers.
Worst of all, Erwin knew who his enemy was.
Except for Theresa, who has been attacked by the slaves.
The Solent, Alva and Dimos families are all enemies of Elvin.
And this enemy exists passively.
It's not a question of whether Erwin wants to provoke or not.
With such bloodline, they will take the initiative to cause trouble for Erwin!
Similarly, the lower four families are also Erwin's hidden enemies.
The Solent family was able to obtain the means to devour the master, who knows if they can also obtain it.
So Erwin cannot take the other families lightly.
Erwin made a strange discovery. Just two days ago, he thought everyone he saw was his friend.
How come there are so many enemies in the blink of an eye?
I am convinced too.
Erwin said, "By the way, you just said that Dragon Speaker bloodlines all have different talents? What are those?"
Charlotte said, "The Dragon Speaker's talent is secret, and those who possess it will not reveal it! I only know that our Theresa family's talent is a contract. We can sign a contract with the dragons and make them our fighting partners! Of course, these are the dragons of today, not those ancient dragons!"
Erwin thought of the man riding a dragon that he had seen in his dream.
So, was this a gift that Charlotte got?
Erwin said, "How much do you know about the other two families?"
Charlotte said, "The Alva family is very mysterious. Their descendants rarely appear. Historically, their descendants didn't seem to have any thoughts about devouring the blood of other dragon speakers! Other families can't find them either, as for the Dimos family!"
