Chapter 3616
The First Heir
As his rules of insight spread out, it was blocked when it reached the white marble floor.
Instead of disappointment, Stefan felt a surge of joy. Since the white marble had such an effect, it
meant that the real hall was under the marble.
Stefan unleashed his earth element to its limit. With his actions, the real hall under the white marble
revealed its true face.
Finally, Stefan saw the whole hall that seemed carved out of a whole block of white marble.
Stefan searched all over but could not find the entrance to this hall.
At this moment, a voice came from behind him, âTrespassing on the ancient ruins, donât you know that
this is our territory?â
Stefan turned around and realized that a group of people was standing behind him at some point. To be
precise, they were much smaller than real humans, and the leader held a scepter in his hand.
It was an old man with gray hair.
Stefan was startled. He never thought that such a strange human being still existed in the ancient ruins.
He could not even find their existence in the memory of the mighty beingâs heritage.
âYou areâ¦?â
Stefan tried his best to soften his tone as he asked the old man in charge.
âWeâre the natives here. In the language of humans, weâre the guardian spirits here.â The old man
tapped the scepter in his hand lightly.
At this moment, Stefan suddenly discovered that the sword spirit in the Caelum Sword seemed to
behave abnormally. However, he did not let it out.
Stefan frowned and said, âSir, I had no choice but to bring these merpeople into the ancient ruins. I
believe youâre aware that the ancient ruins were originally given to the merfolk kingdom by human
beings. The merfolk kingdom has just gone through a crisis, and almost the entire nation has been
wiped out.â
Before Stefan finished explaining, a dwarf standing beside the old man spoke.
âWe donât care if anything happens to the mermen. What we want to know is why are you trespassing
on the ancient ruins?â
This person was not courteous at all and carried a hint of disdain in his tone.
Stefan just looked at him and said, âWhat are you trying to say?â
The dwarf stared at Stefan and said, âOf course, Iâm saying that all of you should leave.â
While speaking, the dwarf exploded with energy.
Although they said they were guardian spirits, Stefan could see that they had existed for too long and
had almost turned into real humans.
However, almost becoming human was still different from being a real human. No matter how they
changed, they were still spirit bodies.
âI really didnât know that a spirit body had the right to speak like thisâ¦â
Seeing that the dwarf had unleashed his energy, Stefan also held the Caelum Sword in his hand and
released his energy.
The two bursts of energy collided and suspended the flow of water.
The old man looked at Stefan and said, âWe donât want any conflicts with you. If youâre willing to leave,
not only will we not fight with you, but weâll forget everything that has happened and also give you
some practice resources. What do you think?â
Stefan narrowed his eyes at the group of dwarves in front of him. Although they were spirit bodies, they
had learned many ways of the humans.
For instance, they were now pretty good at playing hardball and vice versa.
