Chapter 70 - For Educational Purposes Only...! (1/2)
”I just want to know for educational purposes,” Hecathe beamed, ”So tell me in any case, will you?”
The auctioneer gulped as his breath got stuck in his throat and he looked at Hecathe with suspicion. This time, his thoughts could be clearly seen on his face although he had tried his best to control his expressions.
”Believe me,” Hecathe smiled as he reassured but the auctioneer couldn't help but feel that the smile given was wicked... Really wicked!
”Well, even if you don't tell me, I can always go around and ask others,” Hecathe sighed as he commented and the auctioneer looked to be a little worried as he heard this.
”Sir, are you sure you are only interested in knowing for educational purposes?”
Hecathe had a small mischievous smile on his face as he nodded his head at this question, ”It's purely to increase my own knowledge.”
”Three years,” The man sighed as he finally answered the question that Hecathe had asked, ”Within six months of hatching, the Dorgon would be fully grown into its adult body but it would take at least three years for it to be considered an adult by its parents and once it is considered as an adult, it would officially be crowned as the emperor.”
”I see...” Hecathe seemed to have been thinking about it deeply as he heard this, ”And in this case, since the egg has been taken away from its parents, the dorgon inside would never be proclaimed as the emperor?”
”That's right, but wrong at the same time,” The man replied as he informed seriously, ”Since this Egg would never get the chance to hatch or grow, it would never become the emperor but hypothetically speaking, if you were to let it hatch and grow, it would become the emperor after three years.”
”Is that so?” Hecathe's lips curled up in a devious smirk as he muttered in response, ”Then is there a procedure for it to become the emperor?”
”There's nothing as such, sir,” The man sighed as he spoke, ”The Dorgon would be titled as the emperor through the mind link. As long it has the golden blood running through its vein and is still alive, it would be entitled to that title, however, since you'll kill it before that happens, there is nothing for you to worry about.”
'Master, you should tell this man to stop spouting so much nonsense,' The Dorgon spoke up as he heard all this, 'I'm the emperor since my birth! I don't need those three years. Tell him to take those three years and shove it up his ass!'
Hecathe couldn't help but chuckle as he heard the Dorgon cursing the man so casually.
”Sir, I wonder if I was able to help you gain more knowledge on the topic?”
Hecathe stopped laughing and nodded as he spoke, ”I have certainly learned a lot.”
The auctioneer sighed in relief as he commented, ”That's good. This should also stop you from thinking about hatching the egg.”
”You don't need to worry about that,” Hecathe reassured.
It wasn't like this auctioneer's words were going to change Hecathe's mind so the man really didn't need to worry about it since it would be absolutely useless for him to try and advise Hecathe who had already made up his mind.
