Chương 14: Arcane And Choices
A new morning sun greets the group.
'Thud. Thud. Thud.'
"Naga!" Albert is calling him while knocking the door.
"Are you awake? Do you want to go with us? We'll meet the City Lord." Albert asked.
"Hey Naga! They said that the City Lord is a beauty. Great, right? Hahaha!" Nicholas is really excited.
"No. I am planning to train arcane today. Have fun." Naga opened the door and smiled.
"Oh... Okay." Albert said. "We have breakfast. Eat first before you start."
"So you want to miss the chance of seeing a beautiful expert today, huh? Haaays." Nicholas was disappointed.
"Just tell me later if you have questions about arcane. Train diligently." Dilan said full of expectation.
Naga went to the table and checked their breakfast. He saw a lot of food aside from bread, eggs and butter. "Damn! This is really a first class treatment."
"Bill... I mean Lord Willard. You can do it right? Take care." Naga smiled when he saw Bill walking towards him.
Bill is wearing a suit and a different fur coat now. He really looked like a rich noble young lord. "Yes. Rest Assured, My Lord."
Bill and the four men were greeted by hotel employees when they opened the door.
"Good Morning, Young Noble! We will escort you. People from the City Lord mansion are waiting at the gate too." The manager told Bill while the employees lined up to the side.
Naga just watched them leave and smiled. "Old Samuel, how about you? Are you not helping Bill?
"No. He has talent, I would say. We can leave this to him. I am going out. I'll check the market area and also look for a manor that we can buy. I'll buy new clothes too."
"I see. Good. Yeah, new clothes. Please get me regular clothes. They can't see me wearing clothes like yours. Hahaha!" Naga laughed.
"Sure. Goodbye for now... Oh by the way, Old Drun left already. He was escorted by hotel employees to the city's weaponry. See you later, Naga."
"I see. Take care, Old Samuel." Naga chuckled. This old man is an Arcane Lord, people here should be the one to take care of themselves. He's thinking how this old man was captured. You can't really underestimate the four strongest clans.
After eating, Naga went outside too. The hotel's teritory is big. He heard that this place is owned by the family of the city lord as well. He went at the back of the hotel and he saw a lot of Peach Blossom Trees. A beautiful place indeed. He went to a corner and started to feel magic essence.
He is concentrating right now. He calmed his mind and heart. After a few minutes, he felt a warm light. He can feel that this is the magic essence of this environment. He focus his concentration to his body to check his mana reseve. Like what Dilan said last night, his reserve is not affiliated yet to any form of arcane. It seems that this body trained before without any guidance. It has reserve but no substance. He followed what Dilan and Old samuel said and tried to expand his reserve.
After a few hours, he stopped. He gestured in the air and a book was summoned. The Ancient book doesn't look old anymore. It is now majestic and golden. The book is floating in front of him. Naga is thinking carefully.
"I was a soldier and a martial saint before. Now it seems that I'll be a mage and... Perhaps, an underground boss as well." Naga smiled. This life will really be different.
When the book activated for the fist time, he was gifted three one-time benefits. He was asked when he wanted to use those too. That time, he didn't really mind it at all and chose to use the orb right away. There are two remaining benefits.
Naga opened the book. "I want to use the Twenty-year Time Orb after 2 years. I want to use the Supreme Guiding Orb now."
The book exuded golden lights and circled Naga. "Thank you master. Your words were fulfilled". The book answered, it was a soft woman's voice. Naga was not suprised anymore since this also happened before with the Ancient Prime Orb.
Runes floated in the air and entered Naga's body then words and scriptures were printed in the book. This didn't happen with Ancient Prime perhaps this will only happen when an orb is personally used.
"Master, the Supreme Guiding Orb was fully consumed. What do you seek?" the book softly asked.
"Nothing grand. Well, uhmm... Arcane? Uhm. Provide me information about Arcane." Naga said.
He's not dreaming about anything big. He actually felt sorry for getting this book. This should be in the possesion of someone who wanted to be a hero or a king.
'Anyway, it's weird for an underground boss to be a super all-knowing powerful expert right?' That's what Naga is thinking.
Meanwhile, Bill and the four elves are at a grand reception with the officials from the City Lord mansion and the representative from Crimson Earth.
The representative frowned. This young man in front of him can't be a fake. His looks, presence and even the way he moves are telling everyone that he is a rich noble. He can't be poor with those eyes. Those eyes alone can make him a king.
"I am greatful for your arrival, young noble. Our Profound Sky welcomes you." a young woman smiled and greeted Bill.
She is the City Lord. The elves were greatly surprised. This human is as beautiful as those elven princess. They don't know how did that happen. Her eyebrows are as sharp as sword and her eyes are heavenly. She has a great curve and her long light brown hair is perfect.
"Thank you, City Lord. You are as beautiful as what they say. You brightened up our day." Bill smiled. This is an honest reply. He was definitely surprised too.
