MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 291 Silver Eyes, Chosen Blood

As this question escaped the mouth of the elder at the central seat, all of the other elders started to engage in hushed conversations with one another as they gazed at Braum and Valyr every once in a while.

At that moment, all of the elders, except for the one at the center, inwardly thought of themselves as fools, slight frowns adorning their faces as they waited for the two to respond to the elderʼs question. After all, they had believed in the claims of another person so easily.

Never once did they doubt Braumʼs claims that the person that had accompanied him was Valyr Zeihardt.

Then again, with the fact that only less than a month remained before the opening of the Four Pillarsʼ Inheritance, as well as the fact that the reconnaissance teams the Imperial Production Guild sent out had been searching for Valyrʼs traces for a month, these two things compounded into a pressure on the eldersʼ minds that prompted them to accept Braumʼs claims in an instant.

However, with the words spoken by the elder at the central seat, the faint haze covering their minds had been cleared, allowing them to realize what they should have done in the first place.

In response to the question the elder at the central seat had asked, a confident smirk appeared on Valyrʼs face as he had an idea of what was going on. Seeing that Braum was looking at him with a calm expression after the elderʼs question, giving off the feeling that he had full confidence in him, the smirk on his face grew wider as he took in a deep breath before deactivating a part of [Enhanced Polymorph] he had yet to remove.

Whoosh!

Within seconds, the color of Valyrʼs irises started to change. What was previously a dark blue color, reminiscent of the vast depths of the ocean, was now replaced with a pearl-like silver, giving off the feeling that one was looking at an exquisite piece of jewelry.

Unsurprisingly, a few of the elders reacted to the change in Valyrʼs irises, the excitement they had suppressed after listening to the elderʼs question now being awakened somewhat due to what they considered as undeniable proof. After all, from what they knew, only the people that originated from the Zeihardt clan could have the specific iris color Valyr currently had.

However, once these elders noticed that the other elders still remained silent, with the elder at the central seat continuing to stare at Valyr and Braum, it did not take long for them to realize what was going on in the other eldersʼ minds. Within seconds, the same question formed in their minds as they continued to watch.

ʼSince that man is able to change the color of his eyes on a whim, then whoʼs to say heʼs not trying to pass himself off as the person weʼre trying to find?ʼ

With that question in mind, the elders watched in silence as they waited for Valyr to reveal what would truly be undeniable proof that Valyr was indeed the man they were looking for.

His energy signature.

…

At first, Valyr thought that revealing his original eye color would be enough for them to realize that they were talking to the person they were trying to find. However, seeing that only some of the elders had a reaction to him reverting his eye color, a thought did not take long to form in his mind as he put himself in their shoes, letting out a faint sigh as he then deactivated the remaining parts of [Enhanced Polymorph] he had yet to remove.

Whoosh!

Within seconds, the shape of Valyrʼs body underwent a great change, gradually returning to a form that made all of the elders think that the body Valyr had reverted to now truly suited the face that he had. After that, a few more features all over his body started to change, gradually giving the elders a feeling that the person they were looking at seemed more and more like the Valyr they wanted to find.

Nevertheless, they continued to keep their excitement in check, considering that the man standing before them had yet to reveal his original energy signature, the energy that resonated with the personʼs soul.

Fortunately for them, Valyr did just that soon after.

Swoosh!

After reverting most of his features back to what they originally were, Valyr went ahead and reverted his energy signature back to what it originally was, an aura all of the elders were familiar with entering their senses within seconds. At that moment, none of the elders had suppressed their excitement anymore as they finally had undeniable proof that the man standing before them was Valyr Zeihardt.

Though the special feeling they got from the aura Valyr was emanating was still faint, that alone was enough for all of the doubts to dispel in their mind as the elder at the central seat finally reacted, opening his mouth as he said, ”The Silver Eyes of Royalty, as well as the Bloodline of the Chosen.”

”You are indeed Valyr Zeihardt.” A smile soon formed on the elderʼs face as he began to introduce himself. ”As you have already introduced yourself to the Ancestral Council, it would be rude for me to not introduce myself.”

”Though I go by multiple titles, many people in the guild know me as Elder Faulerei, the head of the Imperial Production Guildʼs Ancestral Council,” said the elder not long after. ”I apologize that I had to test you, child. Weʼve had people appear in front of the Ancestral Council before, trying to pass themselves off as the person weʼre looking for.”

”I understand.” In response, Valyr nodded in understanding. ”I apologize for being difficult to find, if thatʼs the case.”

”That is not your fault, child.” Faulerei shook his head. ”It is the guildʼs fault that we werenʼt able to find you sooner.”

”Nevertheless, I am glad to say that our search for you can finally come to a close.” As these words came out of Faulereiʼs mouth, a soft chuckle accompanied it, prompting the elders to go silent as he continued talking to Valyr.

”Though I am certain that the man that accompanied you to this place has already greeted you, I would like to greet you once more.”

”Welcome to the Imperial Production Guild…”

”Herald.”

Ding!
