But isn't that House a mere barony that wasn't even known by the barons of the wastelands a year ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jon gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was a year ago. The barons of the wastelands have ceased to exist. Perhaps you knew Lord Asher as a baron?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claude leaned forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jon sighed. \"I did. Is my old friend Kelvin the butler still alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claude blinked. \"You mean the regent? Of course he still lives. He's the last man His Lordship will allow to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuckling Claude got to his feet. \"Why don't you stay? I'll be heading for Nineveh, and I would love to introduce you to His Lordship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jon breathed out heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be a pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know what Asher's expression would be, but he yearned to see. Was it truly that young man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that what his daughter said wasn't a lie? Did they truly have Moonlit Starhorn cattle back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be he had missed a great opportunity to grow and own his own merchant guild?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lots of questions revolved around Jon's head as he left with his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Nineveh, the said Lord Asher sat on the floor. He wore a white top and black pants but no boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his legs crossed, he regulated his breathing and finally closed his eyes. He kept breathing slowly until he achieved a certain state of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This peace was fragile, like a water droplet at the edge of a leaf. It could fall at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While in this meditative state, a stray thought about his ancestors flew by, causing him to be rejected from the calm, serene state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he was rejected, something flashed past his eyes, and he found himself at the top of a stone platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet were right at the edge. Looking back, he saw that the platform was about 30 meters high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were other round platforms built around it, but the spaces between the platforms were like chasms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he, a sacred-ranked swordsman, would not survive the fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He expelled a large amount of air from his lungs through his mouth. Lifting his head, he saw another platform, some meters higher than this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some platforms were also lower than the one he stood on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he took two steps forward, flames rose up from the chasms, high into the sky, and went back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only for him to take another two steps and the same thing happened. At first Asher thought it activated when he moved, but he later realized this was a man's breathing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man's breathing technique was controlling this much flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read new chapters at m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned, Asher bolted forward at his greatest speed. With a few taps of his feet on the walls of the higher platform, he flew into the air and landed on top of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his bare feet touched the yellowish hard ground, flames rose up behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time Asher's attention was on the man who sat cross-legged. His chest expanded when he took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he did that, the flames would vanish into the chasms, but when he exhaled, they would shoot into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gray hair and beard fluttered softly. His facial structure was sharp, much sharper than Asher's, and his skin was filled with muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exposed his bare chest but wore black pants and leather boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing Asher, his eyes snapped open. A pair of bright golden eyes that carried so much authority that Asher found himself tilting toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing himself, he still didn't object and fell on one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Torah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torah, pale-skinned like Asher, raised an eyebrow. \"Asher Ashbourne, what brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher lifted up his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… I thought you summoned me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did not. It could be that the flames called unto you, but you are not strong enough to be here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strong enough? My swordsmanship is approaching the level of a master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torah rose to his feet, his tendons snapping as he did. This showed how hard his muscles were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not Ariel, nor am I Atticus. You do not wield two swords, so you are not an Ashbourne to me. You are not worthy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ashbourne name isn't limited to our talents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torah snorted. \"Such prideful speech. Good. Prove it. Laws only stand when the strong prove it. Wisdom in the mouth of a fool is despised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am trying to bring the Ashbournes back to where you belong! Stop criticizing me about my origin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher clenched his teeth hard. His face became slightly red as his emotions were spiraling out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who said we wanted your help? As long as I am concerned, I do not need the help of a fake, a shell, or a man who isn't truly convicted. Such a man is more worthless than a bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher's face hardened to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mighty wolf, the size of Sirius in his full form, landed behind Torah, flames billowing out of its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop masquerading, boy; you're not an Ashbourne…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher looked at his hand and found Euodias. When Marshal, Torah's pet beast, dashed toward him, he brandished his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst forward with his battle force billowing out of him. After running in a zigzag pattern, he closed the gap and swung Euodias upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dazzling crescent light left the sword, but Marshal dissolved it and then attacked with its claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, its eyes glowed white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this was likely to be synergy, Asher turned to face Torah, but he saw the wolf's tail coming from his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alarmed, he leaped only for its claws to slam him out of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Asher would land, it had clawed him over a dozen times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do not seem to understand; synergy is not a one-sided ability. I can use Marshal's elements, and he can use my battle skill. Before speed, all you have mastered is useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words fell into Asher's ears as he looked at his own blood on the hard ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glowed white!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time around, a slender figure appeared behind him clad in her red armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You went too hard on him.\" Ariel spat coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torah tilted his head. He looked at Asher, whose wounds were healing up, and his eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>",1082,"2026-06-06T11:24:07.077Z",1,"novelbin.me","e73c1f78f55a7a827e2be4182213b555586cf97095904e48a4060e57459ea6f5","reincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-chapter-180","reincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-chapter-178",536,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-cover.jpg"]
