I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world
Chapter 137 - Minister Hendrix"sirs, this is the room I was instructed to bring you to. I have been instructed not to enter the room so this as far as I can take you."
after quickly thanking the butler for his guidance, Dante and the others slowly opened the hall.
As they opened up the hall, Dante was greeted with a strange sight.
The roof and walls of the hall were all decorated with war-themed images.
From an artist's depiction of a raging battlefield to various dull sets of armour, countless war-themed items and ornaments lined the hall.
But the most common thing in sight was still the depiction of a scarred war spear.
As Dante was looking around the room, his attention was soon drawn away from the decorations and toward the very centre of the room
At the centre of the room, Dante saw a typical ornate throne with a sky blue-haired woman sitting on it and a grey-haired man stood beside her.
Seeing that Dante and his group had entered the room, the grey-haired man slowly floated down the steps and arrived before Dante and the others.
Seeing the man, the aura around Vincent promptly changed as he spoke respectfully.
"It's a pleasure to meet you again, Minister Hendrix."
Hearing this name, Dante instantly recognised the old man in front of him.
The all-seeing General
The Bastion of Vaenam
War hound
The man before him had countless titles, but one thing was for certain, in The Vaenam Kingdom he was one of the few people truly considered a God of War!
He was the man that had protected the kingdom from countless incursions.
Beast tides, external invasions, hell, even internal coups, you name it, and Hendrix was there fighting on the very front lines!
Hendrix Invidus
The man was a living legend amongst the kingdom military with his legendary feats being spread so far that even Dante back at Brightsteel city had already heard of him.
Even after retirement from military service, the man's influence over the military didn't diminish in the slightest.
Instead, after his retirement, he was soon appointed as the minister of war,
A position that had a major say in the kingdom's military affairs and controlled the logistical distribution and spread of soldiers throughout the entire kingdom.
He was a man whose connections throughout the kingdom's military chain ran directly from top to bottom.
Dante was truly stunned to see this living legend standing simply in front of him.
When Jarred said that he would marry him off to a princess, Dante was expecting it to be one of the many unknown princesses that were just living life plainly in the capital, not to the Granddaughter of the Minister of War!
As Dante was left stunned at the appearance of such a legendary figure, Hendrix just patted Vincent on the shoulder as he smiled.
"Vincent, what have I told you before? There's no need to be so formal with me. You can just call me Hendrix next time."
Hearing this, Vincent just laughed awkwardly as he scratched his head in embarrassment.
After greeting Vincent, Hendrix looked toward Jarred as he asked,
"and this is?"
Vincent didn't even hesitate as he replied
"This is Jarred, my sworn brother for many years. He's also the grandfather of the New Dragon Son of War!"
Jarred didn't waste any time and introduced himself.
Hello, Minister Hendrix. It's my honour to meet you. I'm Jarred Kinsman, the GrandPatriarch of the Kinsman Clan.
hearing Jarred introduction Minister Hendrix just laughed warmly,
"Hahaha! Brother Jarred, there's no need to be so formal. After all, aren't we here for the engagement of our two grandchildren?
We will soon be related through marriage, so what's the use of all these formalities? Just call me brother!"
After listening to Hendrix, Jarred almost couldn't believe his ears
"Brother?!? Minister Hendrix, I would never dare!"
As Dante heard the conversation between Hendrix and his grandfather, a thought suddenly popped into his head.
If this marriage between him and the princess somehow went through, that would mean that the Dragon son of war and the minister of war would be from the same family.
One family controlling all aspects of a soldiers life from their training to even their future branch and deployment location.
Dante could already see the terrifying threat and problems this could pose to the national security of the kingdom.
The only problem was that, if Dante could spot these problems so easily, then he was also pretty sure that other people could easily spot what was trying to be done here.
But, in the end, Dante decided not to worry about it.
These things were obviously considered before this meeting.
If they were bold enough to even come up with such an idea, then they definitely would have already thought up a plan on how to push it through.
As Dante pushed these thoughts out of his head, he looked up to find Minister Hendrix staring straight at him.
His piercing black eyes seemed to be staring through his very soul.
"Truly a talented young man." Said Minister Hendrix
As Hendrix was saying this, he reached out his hand and pinched Dante's shoulder
"And such an impressive physique without even stepping on the path of physical training! No wonder you appointed as the Dragon Son so quickly!"
As Hendrix was saying this, Dante felt quite uncomfortable with Hendrix's touch and fiercely broke away from his touch.
It was only after doing so that Dante realised the force he used was a little bit excessive and quickly apologised
"I'm so sorry Minister Hendrix, I didn't mean to use such force. "
but before Dante could continue, Hendrix quickly cut him off
"no, no don't apologise. It was my fault in the first place.
It's just that I was so eager to see this legendary New Dragon Son up close I seemed to have overstepped my boundaries."
"I just feel it's important that I eventually meet you," said Hendrix
