106 The Layout Of Ancient Clans
" when did you notice that we were being played" Draco asked after they left the academy and was going back to there guest hose
" probably from the ti we were at the gates, though I was suspecting sothing was off with all the extra attention we were getting from the guards but now that we were being played with I understand they must have been hired to harass s and where not the main dish and , it was clear that the head guard was not aware on what was happening but was just doing his job"
" after all he could not watch his subordinates getting whipped in front of the gate and do nothing, it would only damage there reputation more so I guess that is why he showed up"
Alec was saying before Draco cut in
"you really think about alot of things!"
" I had no choice but to think with my head after all that was happening around I was not given a chance to trust any of them, I was only sure of my suspicions when the recruiter was so adamant on getting assessed by himself "
" what was more interesting was that he was intentionally waiting for a student, please how many recruiters behave like that!?, because before I left I did a lil investigation and I fond out the recruiters were aloof and rarely even gave audience to young blood like . , only the elders of reputable clans or those who have the school dals could have an audience with them ".
Draco thought of every thing Alec was saying and found out there was so particles of truth there, he was just unaware that Alec was not really the one who did the investigation but it was Agnes who was quite knowledgeable about the world
" And am sure he has just being promoted, he lacks the stability any Tier 7 mage have previously seen have"
" you are throughly a genius!" Draco comnted as he praised Alec for his fast thinking capabilities
" there is sothing I do want to know about, if am not wrong the Dragonmir clan are said to be in the sa rank as the Blaze Clan, if not even stronger so how co I felt the person I fought with is so weak" Alec asked Draco as he kept walking ahead as he was already interested in knowing the blaze Clan power since they crossed him today again
"Well I guess I have to explain the lay out of the Ancient clans for you, in all Ancient clans there are three ranks just like most sects"
" It is unlike the mid Tier clans where everybody are seen as family and are loved equally or where we all fight together, in the Ancient Clans there are always factions who have different objectives which always lead to internal fighting"...
" that Is crazy right, why would families fight amongst themselves?" Alec asked with a perplexed expression
"the Ancient clans might have alot of resources and rare equipnts or scrolls on how to forge rare stuff that has never been seen before due to all the have gained from the old era"
" but that doesn't change the fact that they are a much bigger clan than this new clans there experience and. Accumulation over ti is insane but they can't always provide for all the numbers they have and that is why the encourage all the internal fighting "
" to get rid of all the weaklings in the early stages while the strong who survived continues getting stronger, that was the rule of the Ancient clans, only the strong gets to dictate "
" infact most of the high clans in the capital are following there footsteps trying to recreate the legend where the stronger ones erge in tis of pressure "
Alec was shocked at the revelation of how the Ancient clans operated, even before coming to the capital, him and his buddy's have all pictured and imagined different ways of how the Ancient clans were able to stay at the top
Including how the have the best cultivation manual from the old era that there ancestors passed down making them stronger, but he and his buddy's never expected that they fought against each other
" the first rank of the Ancient families are called the Core mbers , it consist of only one family, even the female mber of the core mbers rarely married out of the family instead they look for strong individuals"
" to marry into there clan gaining another strong expert and also opening up a chance of having a offspring that is more talented than there old generation, the core mbers are the main clan, they are the dictators and the ruler of the ancient clans"
" if we had that type of system in our clan then, the patriarch, my father and all the elders with there offspring are going to be terd as the core clan"
Draco explained and still gave explanation using the Gordons clan as an example so Alec could understand his point easily
" after the core mbers cos the inner court clans, those are the children that was given birth to with other high clan bloodline but didn't awaken Fire elent as there primary elents, they might be incredibly strong but won't be allowed to enter the blaze core clan "
" until they awaken a very strong fire elent and perform a great deed for the clan, we the Gordons clan on the other hands don't discriminate any of our mbers born like that since we all see family the sa way "
" and lastly the outer court families of the ancient clans are the last rank and stay close to the gate areas in each clan, they are seen as the subordinates of the ancient clans, as they are the product of inter marriage between the inner clans and other smaller clans that want to associated to the ancient clans "
" the are not really valued like that but still yet they do the dirty work of the ancient clans getting rid of any threats to the clan, hoping one day they would get recognised and be accepted into the inner court clan and join one of the battling factions"
" it's more complicated than that, but this is the explanation I can help you with" Draco said
" thank you uncle I really learnt alot" Alec said to Draco only to notice Draco looking all around and even him tried to look around In hope to find out what has caught his attention
" we have been trapped Alec ".
