Lloyd suddenly stopped his step and asked his slave, "What is your name?""my Lord, my name Taenya," she said.
"Where are from Taenya" Lloyd asked. He is interested in her phoenix bloodline. Normally bloodline is never allowed to flow outside of the clan. n.o.body knows about her bloodline since there are only two ways to test it. One was to get tested by bloodstones. Which created an image of the bloodline beast. Bloodstones are rare community even for the top clan as it is said to be extinct. Another method is commonly used and simple method is to reach the origin stage. In which one can tap in bloodline and form image of the beast.
Since both methods were impossible for her. Her bloodline remained secret.
"I was born here at Harle, my lord," she said
"stop with "my lord". Call me master. Now tell me about your parents" he asked
"yes, my lor... I mean master, I only had a mother, I didn"t know about my father. She died of illness" Taenya said but there was sadness in her voice.
"how did you become a slave," Lloyd asked.
"one day a middle age came to me asking for money. He said that he gave money as a loan to my mother. I said my mother never owned anyone any money and argued. Later he brought officials and forced for money. Since I was broke, he sold me to slave market" she said
After hearing about her story, he knows it was a sham. He looked at her feeling sorry for her.
He took 10 gold coins and gave her and said, "Since you are familiar around here. Go and buy yourself some clothes and meet me at the gate of Phoenix clan"
Seeing gold coins, she was surprised as said, "master this is too much.!!"
Seeing he face he smiled and said "it is not all for clothes. Since you are my maid from now on you must use it when I order you in future"
Hearing this she was relieved and she left.
He had to send her away because a few mins before, the system was bashing non-stop inside his head.

-peculiar energy detected, which is useful for the system-
-Host please found his source-
"okay…. Okay, stop beeping inside my head"
"where is this energy"
-15 KM from the host-
An arrow pointing to a direction appeared before his eyes. Lloyd followed it. It led towards the park middle of the city.
In the middle of the park, there was a lake. It was a naturally formed lake, way before the city was built. A park was built around it.
He came towards the lake and asked, "Where is it?"
-800 meters downwards-
"are you saying it is inside the lake"
-yes-
Lloyd paused for a while and jumped into the lake. He could see varieties of fishes swimming by. He swims downwards. After a while, the light becomes dimmer and pressure of water increasing. For him, with his tempered body 9th stage, this pressure is nothing. After a while it got so dark he couldn"t see his own hands.
He wanted to go back. The only thing which kept him going was a notification from the system

After hearing system, he felt a solid object in front. He touches it.

He then saw light generated from the object. Later it shone brightly. Everything was seen before him. The object, the system was so interested was a rock. He confused.
"system, what"s so special about this rock?"
-this rock is a meteor. It was from outer s.p.a.ce. It processes unique universe energy-
After a while light dimmed and it was pitch black again.
