《Heir of the Dragon》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Mel shouted in amazement as he turned around and glanced at the scattered flowers.
"I know all the plants, it's amazing!"
He knew all the details about the plants he saw, and he felt as if they were part of him.
"I guess Grandfather Drago’s legacy is not only limited to power. It seems his knowledge has also been transferred to my memory.”
That was a valid explanation about what really happened. The true meaning of being an Inheritor was to capture everything that belonged to the previous generation without restriction.
"What am I going to do now?"
He paused for a moment while muttering. Then the book in the ring appeared in his hands. The book was too big for the little boy to hold with one hand. He found it convenient to carry it up to the stone altar, where he first woke up in the cave, and then read it.
"If you are still in the cave, know that this is a place built entirely for you, my heir!"
As Mel had just read the first sentence, his tears began to flow like a flood. These were his grandfather's words, and the old man would no longer wait for him by the ruined shed every day.
Fate had parted their ways. Mel would try to remember what it felt like to be close to him just by reading what he wrote in this book.
“You have just received a small part of my heritage. I hope by using the cave and the valley, you can reach my Shallow and Deep heritage.
Are you confused by these terms? If you want to inherit the legacy of the previous generation as heir, you will have to embark on a three-step journey. If you can fully absorb the energy divided into three heritages; Shallow, Deep, and Bottom, you will have inherited the legacy of your predecessor.
In the cave, the materials and the environment you need to improve yourself in botany are ready. The clay pots inside the ring are full of objects that will help you in this regard.

A valley is a place you can use to enhance your fighting ability. You can find wild creatures at every level. In the beginning, I advise you not to go far away from the cave, because creatures above a certain level are afraid of it and cannot go nearby.
I know you are reading what I have written in an anxious mood and you are unsure of what to do. But I cannot explain everything to you.
Now is the time to discover yourself and the environment. Go and live! ”
The first page ended with these words. Mel, who received the required explanations for the first phases, began to walk around the cave.
Drago had spent many years here, making the preparations himself. The little boy walked and touched every stone and every flower as if his grandfather was with him. Mel closed his eyes by leaving his body on the damp soil.
For a long time, in a half-asleep mode, Mel observed the flowing of time and then entered into a different meditative state.
He felt an energy flow coming from the roots of the plants and reaching into the pores on his skin. It was penetrating from his skin to his blood, and then to his flesh and bone.
The absorbed energy was so calm and docile that the young boy could embrace it without any trouble. As if the plants were offering their energy to Mel by their free will and let him absorb it.
It was a magnificent feeling. After a while, when the energy flow ceased, Mel had to open his eyes. The little boy did not want to get out of this situation which tasted like happiness. He tried to take energy from the plants again by closing his eyes.
Now, the energy coming into his body from the earth did not seem to flow as smoothly as before, and when it came to the pores in his skin, the little boy began to writhe in pain.

The energy was no longer comfortable but was in a form that made him suffer from pain. Young Mel woke up immediately and jumped up.
"What's going on? Why did I feel like knives were sticking in my body when everything was so easy the first time? ”
The little boy felt a little guilty beside the pain. Although he did not know what it was, these feelings came and sat in his heart.
"Don't kill anything that hasn't gone into the killing cycle!"
The situation continued like this until he heard the voice echoing within him, hearing Drago's last will in his voice.
"Did I do something bad to the plants?"
Mel shouted in panic, looking at the herb garden and saw that what he feared had happened.
The flowers and plants that had previously appeared in vitality had bent their necks and lost their color as if to show that their vital energy was being exploited.
"Sorry, I really didn't know it would be like this!"
The boy in panic was running around in an upset state, thinking that the energy he absorbed was enough to destroy a huge herb garden.
Fortunately, the plants gradually began to regain their former shape, as they nourished the water of the river that flowed through the cave, their colors came back and their scent spread.
Realizing that did not make an irrevocable mistake, Mel went into the second most interesting thing in the cave, the river. He was trying to calm down by lying on the edge of this stream, the deepest part of which came to the level of his waist.
Contrary to his expectation, his eyes suddenly opened and his limbs in the water began to tremble. In less than an hour, the little boy had become energetic enough to pierce the sky. As he threw himself out of the water, he began to run into the cave-like crazy.
Not being aware of his direction, Mel threw himself from one side to another as if he was going to explode. In this state, he left the main hall and reached another room inside the cave.
As he entered the room, his movements slowed down, and the waves bubbled by the storms that broke inside of him, dissipated as if they hit a breakwater.
The skinny boy, who finally managed to return to his normal self, started to examine the place where he came by coincidence. The glowing crystals in the ceiling were the first to catch his attention. This part of the cave was illuminated by crystals, just like the big cavity.
While this was the first to be noticed, the most glaring detail was the dragon's paw print, which seemed to be carved into the great wall. It looked like an old and ancient thing as if this print had been there for a long time.
After a glance, Mel realized that this was a place designed for combat training. The large space in the middle was surrounded by puppets made of wood, metal, and materials that he could not identify.
Across the traced wall, there was an inscription engraved from the ceiling to the floor. Mel knew very well for which purpose this inscription, with the words Dragon's Claw written at the top, was made.
"It is written here how to use the only fighting skill Grandfather Drago allowed me to use. It will be a pity if I don't start right away with all this energy inside!"
It was not clear whether he said that because he was aware of his responsibilities or because he just wanted to play a game, but Mel would begin his first combat training here, in this cave built by his grandfather, who Mel hung up with, while others were working.
