Liu Zhi's question left Bladock at a loss for words. After thinking for a long while, he finally said, "I want to visit Greece. Maybe I can find the source of my bloodline there."
Liu Zhi was taken aback by that answer.
Bladock continued, "That's what the scientist who turned me into a bloodline warrior told me. He said my bloodline already carried a trace of divine blood, which was why I could accept Athena's divine blood. When they injected anyone else with divine blood, they exploded on the spot."
Liu Zhi understood. Bladock was Norse, yet he could accept Athena's divine blood. That meant he had a trace of Greek blood in him, and it was of quite high quality.

"It's not that I don't want to spare you. I really do need to draw Valkyrie out. If you don't die, then someone else has to."
Bladock nodded. He wasn't the sort of person who'd sacrifice his own life to
