Chapter 149: Time to say goodbye
"It seems that the curiosity of a blacksmith with a new weapon cannot be hidden for too long, we must let the two of you talk, Nicola, you still have a week to prepare your belongings and leave." Herold said as he led the other elders toward the gates of Cassius's residence.
Nico then took out his four daggers again to show it to Cassius. The golden guard daggers were attacking ones, they looked identical, but the trained gaze of a blacksmith saw the difference in the alloys that made up the blades, he waved the lightning and wind dagger in the air, producing a flute sound and the fire and darkness produced a bell sound when wielded.
"Very interesting, are the grooves that cause the sound?" He asked.
"As expected from the master, he managed to guess ir right with just one look" Nicola took this technique back to earth, when air circulates over a surface very fast he produces different sounds for each shape, so he produced very small grooves on the surface of the daggers to get the sounds.
The dagger of water and light produced a harp sound when it was swung, and lastly, the earth dagger had a piano sound when used to defend.
...
That same night Nicola attended a dinner at Cassius' house. Within the Melkor Empire there were a few different cultures, so there was no standard formal dress for the entire country. Normally men would wear a tuxedo-like outfit, others would wear overcoats, some would still wear oriental kimonos, the army would take their formal attire out of the closet, and the mages would go with colorful robes covering their bodies.
Women had even greater diversity, dresses and robes of all sizes and colors. Props and shoes of the most varied types.
In the hall Cassius was waiting to chat with Ogume, Nicola's two masters wore black tuxedos, in addition to the two other guests such as Elders Herold and Saluel. Herold wore a similar outfit to his elder like costume, a white cloak with silver decorations on the collar and sleeves, Saluel in turn wore a purple mage cloak, some electrical particles could be seen flickering as he moved.
Beside Nicola, Kin, he was dressed in a white and gold kimono that was tight on his body, contrasting with his black hair disguised by the bracelet he wore on his wrist. Gin, on the other side, wore a black and silver kimono that perfectly matched the version of her disguised appearance. Nicola introduced them as his tiefling companions, not many people knew the two children but they soon accepted Nicola's explanation that they were born after he entered the Six Rings Academy.
Nicola arrived in the middle of the two teenagers, the three of them together looked like a family, the oriental features together with the black hair and the reddish skin provided by the change of appearance of the bracelets. He wore a black kimono embroidered with drawings of foxes with nine tails in gold and silver, almost like an emperor he released some of his aura creating an air of grandeur. The eight patterned white tails swayed freely with the wind behind him, and on his head a set of seven horns white as bones almost fully developed resembled a crown worn by a king.
"How are you feeling, young man? Where do you intend to go when you leave?" Ogame asked Nicola.
"I am very well, master, looking forward to everything that lies ahead. I intend to find out who are my family, I did some research and discovered that there is a kitsune clan in the Avec Kingdom, close to the fairy forest, quite north of here, I will pass by fairyland to get there. I discovered that there are some ruins that can be explored along the way and I want to try my luck. "
"I have some family members over there, maybe you can find some information with them" A female voice answered at the entrance to the hall.
Tiane was standing at the door looking at them. She looked wonderful, a yellow dress that highlighted her skin and her eyes enveloped her body, the sleeveless dress made her arms strong because of the apparent forge. This did no harm to Tiane's feminine beauty, on the contrary, it made her even more interesting as a woman capable of fighting and defending herself.
The dress moved like a chain mail on her body with the appearance of small rings intertwined to form a fabric. The earth element leaked from her aura creating a feeling of strength and vitality, strong as a wall but soft enough to receive the seeds for a new farm.
During all these years Tiane was behind Nicola in terms of cultivation, reaching only level 25. Like most hybrids she chose the Warlock class, strengthening her bloodline to the maximum.
