As this question lingered in the young man's mind, Valyr recalled what he knew about noble clans and families, as well as the system that was in play regarding their hierarchy.

Similar to the nobility title system he was incredibly familiar with, the young man knew that clans and families could separated into three tiers as well, which were noble, royal, and imperial, respectively.

Just like the nobility title system, noble clans and families were of lesser importance compared to royal clans and families. On the other hand, imperial clans and families reigned at the peak of the hierarchy, obtaining their rank due to their clan having a great amount of power amongst their members or their founder achieving a great amount of merit.

With that, the young man found it odd that the Zeihardt clan, which was only considered a royal clan, according to what Aster and Julian had told him, had obtained the attention of almost every organization as the drama between the two factions attempting to find him continued to this very day.

'Is it because their might is infinitely close to the imperial clans?' asked Valyr to himself, finding it a highly likely possibility. After all, any organization would pay attention to the happenings occurring within the imperial clan, whether it be a minor or a major matter.

However, what Julian would tell him was definitely beyond his initial expectations.

"Who told you the Zeihardt clan was only a royal clan?" With an eyebrow still raised, Julian looked at Valyr with a slight frown.

"Didn't you mention on the day before that tournament that the Zeihardt clan was a royal clan in status and how everyone was paying attention to it because of their might?" Hearing Julian's question, Valyr answered back with a question, the confusion in his mind slowly building up.

"Wait…" At the young man's words, Julian went silent as it seemed like multiple pieces in his mind had finally connected together. "Do you really think the Zeihardt clan as a whole is only considered a royal clan?"

"Is it not?" At this point, Valyr gave the man an answer with a tone of slight caution, wondering if what he knew from Aster and Julian were even correct.

"It's definitely not just a royal clan if almost everyone is paying full attention to it." Julian shook his head, letting out a faint sigh. "If anything, only the Algerie Kingdom branch of the Zeihardt clan is considered a royal clan."

"Then again, multiple branches of the Zeihardt clan in the other kingdoms have also reached that status."

"…huh?" Unsurprisingly, Valyr went silent after hearing that, giving Julian the freedom to continue with his explanation.

"Well, considering your circumstances, it's not that surprising that you don't know everything there is to know about the clan," said Julian with a slightly bitter smile, briefly looking at Valyr with an expression of pity as he began to lay out the entirety of the Zeihardt clan to the young man.

"Though, before I begin my explanation, who told you that the Zeihardt clan is only considered a royal clan?" asked the man. "Of course, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine. Though, if you found the information on a book, you can tell me the title of the book instead."

"A man from one of the noble clans," replied Valyr, not wanting to be very specific in slight fear of Julian harming them. "He told me back then that the main Zeihardt clan was considered a royal clan."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"I see." Going silent for a bit, Julian eventually nodded in response. "I guess he hails from a clan that's not far away from Algerie… or perhaps a clan that's not far away from any of the other Zeihardt clan branches I've mentioned earlier."

"In any case, the Zeihardt clan's entire might is not just on the level of a royal clan," said the man. "Nor is it on the level of an imperial clan either, even though the Zeihardt clan situated in the human race's only empire is considered one."

"It is on a level far above the imperial clans, being the only clan with that kind of classification in existence." Saying these words, Julian's expression turned solemn as he gave Valyr time to digest what he had said.

"Being linked directly to the Zeihardt Sovereignty, the main Zeihardt clan boasts a level of strength that could only be classified as a primordial clan."

Ding!

Hearing the system respond to Julian's words, Valyr's eyes briefly widened in surprise as he opened up the notification screen in his mind. With it, it did not take long for him to put two and two together as he asked the man a question.

"So… do I come from this primordial clan, then?"

"But of course." Julian nodded, looking at Valyr as if it were a matter of fact. "It's exactly because you were born into the primordial clan as a Herald that the entire Zeihardt clan has split into two factions, with each branch falling under one of them."

"Keep in mind that Algerie Kingdom's Zeihardt clan branch is on the side of the rebel faction, which is why the Imperial Production Guild has taken a lot of measures the very moment you arrived at the kingdom to make sure that information of you being here doesn't leak out."

"Is that so…" Feeling like he had gained more answers and questions from such a short discussion, Valyr went silent for a bit as he looked at the stage before them, seeing that Sirius was moving onto the next item of the auction, being a pair of accessories that greatly increased one's passive health regeneration.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Mulling over the information he had obtained from Julian, the young man decided to end the conversation regarding the Zeihardt clan's strength then and there, instead shifting it onto another topic that still had something to do with the clan yet not at the same time.

"Say, Julian."

"What is it?" Looking at Valyr once more, Julian raised his eyebrow in curiosity.

"Do you perhaps know a person or an organization that could help me collect information on the Zeihardt clan?"
