Chapter 61: Change In Plans
he sat cross-legged for half an hour, but opened his eyes disappointed. although the grassy plain had an abundance of qi, he wasn't able to contain it in his body. he got up and went back into the room, it was easier this time as the had food energised his body. "demon saint, are you still alive?" levi suddenly remembered. if the yin yang seal was wreaking havoc in his body, wouldn't the demon saint be affected too? ' why would i be dead? tch! i felt all of that energy flooding your body and wanted to absorb some, but before it could reach me, the letters around me activated and blocked it out!' the demon saint complained. "..." levi kept silent. " how do i get out of here?" levi mumbled. 'if i use mental energy, there could be some kind of trap, like when i escaped from the demon saint's place. i was only able to get out because i used his mental energy to activate the runes.' levi thought.
'but i don't think old gray would have those kinds of traps here. why would he need them? but just in case...' puff! a small black flame appeared before Levi's forehead, the tip golden. swish! "oh? you were leaving, boy?" before he could do anything, old gray appeared. " old gray...." levi said as the tiny flame dissapeared. thump! "..." he dropped to his knees and bowed. he had learned a few things from this situation, one of them being, gratitude. and although he didn't say anything, old gray understood his meaning.
" get up, boy. you don't have to thank me." old gray waved. "seriously, you don't have to thank me. those treasures were so priceless, what could your thanks amount to? the only way for you to pay me back, is to work for me for a few hundred years!" old gray laughed maniacally, his pupils shrinking. "..." Levi kept silent. " are there any treasures on the same level as those two?" he suddenly asked. " what are you asking for? even if they were, you wouldn't be able to get them, not with you measly strength." old gray said.
swish! both of them appeared inside the old tailors room without a word, as Levi got up from the ground. " oh, what happened to my coat?" levi suddenly remembered. " i'm fixing it. i still had a few materials from when i made it, so fixing the holes should be easy." old gray replied, as he pulled open a drawer on the tailors table. "what about the invisibility inscription?" levi asked. " i won't remake that toy. furthermore, you might survive longer without it." old gray said. levi thought for a moment. he realised that what old gray said might be true. because although the coat could make him invisible, when he walked, his feet still left footprints. and even if that wasn't the case, other martial artists would be able to sense the qi in his body, as well as the qi going into the inscription. " then, please." Levi replied respectfully.
after leaving the clothes shop, Levi went straight back to the inn. " are those 4 here?" after opening the door, Levi walked in. " young master?....ah! yes! they came back a few days ago!" the old inn keeper was surprised because of Levi's arm. puff! zinnn! " aghhh!" 4 cries of pain echoed out after Levi released his mental energy, as loud ringing noise echoed in their heads. " yo-young master...." aria was the first one to come out. they had suspected that Levi was still alive, but couldn't find him. it was only out of fear that after they left, Levi would appear and kill all of them, that they stayed at the old inn. the remaining 3 came out one after the other. " where is the ore?" levi asked. " we brought it all back here, young master...." aria said. she wanted to ask what happened and where he was for the past few days, but decided against it. " get all of it, and come with me." Levi said without emotion.
after a few minutes, they each walked out with four large woven baskets on their backs, filled with ore. without wasting anymore time, levi went to the blacksmith. " hmm? a kid? what do you want?" after going in, levi saw a different man. "...where is the other one?" levi asked, after silently looking at the man for a few seconds. " the other one? do you have this person's name?" the man asked. he had spiky black hair, and wore a black robe with his bulging chest exposed. " hey, it's time for you to get back to work!" the door beside the man opened, a wave of heat exploding out, as a man with a white cloth tied around his head looked out. " oh? if it isn't the kid from that time." the man walked out. " you can go back in first." the man said to the black haired man. " so? what do you need?" the man asked. " i brought you the ore, so make the swords." Levi said. " hmm, and how much will you pay me?" the man asked. " that depends on the quality of the swords." Levi said.
"..."..." the two looked at each other silently. " hahaha! i like you kid! fine, you just wait! furthermore, why don't you become a blacksmith?" the man laughed, before asked. " no thanks." levi said, as he turned around, his armless sleeve shifting in the breeze. " use these four as you see fit. when all of the ore is used up, send them for more. oh, before i leave." he turned around, as a broken blade and golden handle appeared in his hands. " fix this for me if you can." Levi told the man, before leaving. he had to change the plan in his head. since he couldn't make inscriptions anymore, he would have to sell regular swords, and use the money to buy different low level mutated beasts to get his blood stage up. but before anything else, he had to fix his arm, that is why he left for the everything guild.
" what do you need, sir?" one of the attendants asked respectfully. " is there a library? one with books on the human body?" levi asked after thinking for a moment. " there is, but, i'm sorry sir. only registered persons are allowed in those places." the attendant replied. "..." levi pulled out the badge from the spatial ring. "oh! i apologize for my rudeness! you have to go to tower B, you will be allowed into different levels of the library depending on your grade." the attendant said.
Levi left in the direction the attendant pointed out. " you want to go into the library? what is your grade?" levi walked into a large room in the tower. a slim man wore circular glasses, his sharp eyes had black lines underneath them. Levi pulled out the badge. " your rank is 'low' and it is for inscriptions. what is someone learning inscriptions, doing here at the physicians library?" the man asked, his eyes narrowing.
