Aizu didnt know what to say as she didnt expect that outcome. If she had known that Durgan would offer his sister to Yale, she wouldnt have opened her mouth.

She immediately disliked Durgan, because she felt that he was selling her sister and made she remind how her own clan sold her. However, she had to admit that being sold to a genius like Yale was better than being sold to a lewd old man, but she was still against the forced marriages.

Seeing Aizus strange face, Durgan added some more words.

My sisters bloodline cant be cut off, her bloodline purity is something unheard in the clan, she needs to have descendants, thats a benefit for all the clan. She understands the reasons, and she had already accepted them before we started to look for a suitable partner for her.

Durgan felt normal that commoner girls feel bad after seeing him giving his sister to someone he had just met. Thus, he tried to explain better the situation, even if it was by misunderstanding he didnt want anyone to think that he was offering his sister without her consent.

She had already said that would accept to see anyone his brother chose to her, but she could refuse all the candidates if she didnt like them. She wouldnt have a forced marriage, she could also look for someone herself, but no one felt that she would be able to do it with her personality.

It wasnt strange being engaged before turning ten in the noble clans, Serka and Kermu were a good example, although that might shock some commoners because their cultures were different.

Furthermore, those with better talents and bloodlines were the firsts in had an engagement to ensure that their bloodlines would be continued as soon as possible. The noble clans had proved that letting the kids be together since young was better than let them know after growing up.

Oh, right. Yale, I forgot to tell you that my sister can refuse to marry you after you meet her, but dont worry in that case there a lot of pretty candidates for you. You should know that I dont give this chance to anyone, but as you are in the expert stage and Kermu is on good terms with you, I decided to give you a chance.

Durgan looked again at Aizu, but she had the same face as before, showing that he wasnt selling his sister and that she still had the right to choose in the end who would she marry didnt seem enough to her.

Even if Aizu was only a commoner, Durgans honor didnt let him pass that misunderstanding. The Larken Clan was very strict with their image, being misunderstood by someone who can gift his sister was something that could end with Durgans death.

Durgan simply told the good part to Yale; he omitted that his sister had the right to refuse because he was trying to lure Yale into his clan.

However, he was really planning to give that chance to Yale, lying was forbidden in the Larken Clan, but omitting information for a benefit to the clan wasnt prohibited, and Yale could join the clan together with his master who was already someone the clan wanted to recruit.

As Yale was also with Kermu and seemed to be more outstanding than how Kermu described him, Durgan didnt have problems in giving him a chance.

Durgan decided to try another method to change Aizus opinion.

Yale, I also forgot to tell you that if you join us, you could take that disciple of yours as you maidservant, even if she doesnt become an official member, a maidservant from a noble clan had better status than commoners. If someday she manages to impress the clan I will help her to find some guy to marry and officially join the clan. A great opportunity, right?

Durgan didnt mind about that condition; he thought that with that condition the girl would improve her previous impression of him and the clan. Moreover, Yales chances to join would also increase as there was a chance that he held back due to dont want to leave his disciple alone.

Furthermore, he wasnt lying to Aizu as if she managed to impress the clan it was possible to find a guy to marry her and then she would really become a member of the clan.

Aizu was astonished by the offer, she didnt want that Yale married with Durgans sister, but if she also joined the clan even if she only joined as a maidservant, she would avoid the marriage with the lewd old man.

That future wasnt the best she imagined, but it was better than the one her clan planned to her.

Aizu was confused, but at least she wasnt looking at Durgan like before, that made Durgan happy as he had solved the misunderstood about himself and his clan.

Yale was looking at the situation with a strange face; it seemed that Durgen didnt think about the possibility of he rejecting after all the things he promised.

At that moment, Yale understood very well why his master had left the Imperial City; it seemed complicated to say no to those nobles who almost started to plan a wedding after meeting him for a few minutes.

Even if Durgans sister refused, Durgan would let him marry another girl, but the fact that Durgan had decided that he would marry in his clan didnt change.

Yale would be able to delay Durgan showing the Zhan Clan badge he had obtained before, but that would be revealing the identity that he shouldnt reveal and wouldnt be a permanent solution given that his position in the Zhan Clan was extremely unstable.

Yale even feared that showing his identity would only increase the interest of Durgan in him; then he would only worsen the situation.

In the end, Yale chose to remain his mouth shut, as long as he didnt accept the offer, they couldnt blame him if he ran or refused the marriage after exiting the special realm.

Well, Durgan. We can continue talking about that once we exit the special realm, now we will join together to find the legacy of this area, or we will search for it independently?

Kermu wanted to delay the topic because if Durgan pressured Yale and he ended up accepting, it would be a big problem later. Fortunately, Yale had chosen to not open his mouth.

Kermu also saw that Nurvey was almost to say something, and it was better to avoid involucrate more parties in the trouble.

Yale also liked the new topic of conversation, he didnt understand well those marriages in the clans, nor he thought about going out with girls. Even if that was normal for kids who were groomed in the noble clans, to him, that was all weird. Yale only wanted to focus on practicing, he didnt have time for the affairs of the noble clans nor to thought about girls.

Oh right, I lost the focus. We cant join other groups, but we can collaborate with others so we can search together, it would be more effective with more people.

Durgan didnt think much more into Yale as he didnt doubt that a commoner would accept such offer. However, he forgot that Yales master was just such type of person and he also didnt know that Yales personality was just like his masters and he hated to be restricted.

Exploring with five more people was easier than before, and Durgans group had already explored a bit, so they had less area to cover.

They managed to find a wall with a legacy in only half an hour.

The wall was in a huge room that seemed special, like the other rooms with legacies. The room was decorated with a lot of stone statues and other stone ornaments; everyone could bet that the inheritance would be related with the earth element.

That excited Hyrk a lot as the earth element was also an element in which he excelled.

Both groups entered the room and went towards the wall to start learning the legacy.

However, at that moment, decoration statues began to move and charge towards them.

Those were stone golems, and they were programmed to activate when someone tried to learn the legacy. Furthermore, the trap detecting artifacts didnt react, so it caught everyone by surprise.

Yale sighed when he saw the golems attacking because since he got the sub-quest, he knew that the path couldnt be as easy as it was until that moment.

Yale drew his sword and prepared to battle; all the other also make their preparations to fight the golems.

However, seven of them battled with swords, Yale, Kermu and the five members or the Larken Clan, so there was an evident lack of long-range attackers as Hyrk also fought only in close combat.

Serka focused mainly on healing as she had too many people to heal; however, she focused first on her group.

Aizu used all her strength to cast a combination of Water Ball and Fire Ball, that was far stronger than before thanks to her bracelet.

Nurvey used support spells to protect the long-range group and to boost Yale, Kermu, and Hyrk, she did nothing to help the Larken Clan members as they tried to force Yale to marry into their clan.
