章節 24: Chapter 24
"Ahh it seems master has killed a wild beast." Said Nokby as he looked around at the site of the battle field.
"Haha yes Nokby, with the help of Vega of course. And that is why I called you." Lucien replied
"Ahh yes, what can Nokby do, for My lord?" Awaiting orders Nokby stood there like statue
"Okay, Nokby listen up, I called you here for training however, there's things that also need doing. This beast looks like some type of Grootslang. So I want you to take it to Nott directly and have it sold at an auction right before your cure all potions. Okay?"
"Yes,Sir"
"Then I Want you to find more books on Grootslangs and bring them back. Do you have the book on Sacrificial magic with you?"
"Ahh yes, Tondy told me master needed it" handing the book over to Lucien Nokby got ready to write down more of Lucien's instructions.
"Haha Nokby, You're always so serious. I know you serve me but remember. You aren't a house elf anymore. And you chose to stay with me so relax sometimes, I appreciate any amount of work you do for me. Have you rested since completing the Philosopher's stone experiments?" Lucien asked with concern
"No, master. Nokby came over as soon Tondy delivered your message"
"Well go rest for a day, complete the tasks on the second day. And come back on the third. It'll give me enough time to read and comprehend" Lucien gave suttle direction this time.
Nokby smiled" of course, master. Nokby will go and rest then". Nokby walked over to the Grootslang and then apparated away.
Tilting his head towards the sky, Lucien exhaled "I want so much and feel so much. So confusing. I guess this is life in a world without guidance"
Lucien, had a lot on his mind. Strength, knowledge, survival, life with out worry, having a true family, coupled with the ever growing complexity of the strange world he was now living in. The list went on.
Coming back down to earth Lucien sat down and closed his eyes. "One step at time" he muttered beneath his breath. Relaxing his mind he used the Elvin technique to expand his senses.
"Good, I See you all." He muttered again be fore opening his eyes.
Reaching for the book 'Sacrifical Magick By Alfonz Bellatunde Delgallo' he opened the cover and began to ready. Shockingly the words took longer to stick in his mind. It must be because his senses were now expanded to monitor his surroundings.
'I guess it'll become easier with practice' he thought to himself.
Lucien read word for word, line by line , cover to cover. In the short 5 hours left of moonlight.
During the sunrise he put the book to his side and began to organize the new information and comprehend.
There was nothing special about Luciens meditation, it was just basic yoga so the he could calmly look through and sort his memories without being so overwhelmed.
In the 10 mile radius, most beast decided to stay away, not because Lucien had killed the Grootslang. But, The forest elves in their techniques have been gone for ages, so when the beast felt something so far away brush against them, detecting and locking on to their location. They figured it had to be a powerful sorcerer using some form of long range mental ability , that could attack them and they would have no chance of defending against . Simply because, the attacker was 'out of sight, out of mind'
So, Lucien was able to sit and comprehend the basics of sacrificial magic for the three days Nokby was away.
Back at the Budongo Manor Nokby had sent word for Tondy to halt operations. Luciens words had inspired him. He and 'siblings' were free. And they chose to stay with Lord Lucien. So Nokby had now chose to act on his own accord to optimize the profits of house Dubois and help secure his masters safety.
Nokby had then told Visney to leave things for the 'children' to do because she will be need for the next few days.
Laying out the Grootslang, Nokby decided to sell it as one piece instead of many parts to attract more buyers. Buy the set or the piece.
Nokby then pulled Nina, to scout the slave auction and its holding cages and take note of all its merchandise and then went to rest. As a free elf of the forest tribe.
The next morning Nokby woke up, and went through his morning rituals to start the day.
Walking down stairs. Tondy and Visney were already there awaiting his arrival.
"Nokby, you slept in. What if Matter Lucien was here?" Visney said with a little concern.
"Its okay, master Lucien gave me specific direction to get some rest. So, are you both ready?" Nokby
" yes, so will us tell what's going on now? "Tondy asked
"We're going to host an auction. The grandest auction the underworld has ever seen. But before that. We Must hunt for rarest of merchandise. And in order to pull this off. We need absolute control over the Europe market. But we also need better security and a more secure network." Nokby was explaining his plan as he pulled out chalk border.
Visney and Tondy smiled at each other as they thought the same thoughts.
'Master Lucien will be proud if this plan indeed'
" first the purpose of this plan is to establish control and reputation. Over night we will stop all activities in the criminal world. While disposing of anyone who disobeys. This will show the world our might and let them know Europe belongs to House Dubois. And when we are ready, we will sell everything the underworld lacks or fail to acquire. All the biggest names around the world will flock to us."
"Well how will we do this ? We lack competent not to mention loyal help" Visney
"Hahaha Visney, such beautiful eyes yet... You fail to see. And worse recognize...who is master Lucien's most loyal servents?" Nokby
"We are of course!" Visney lashed out
"Exactly, and why is that?" Nokby inquired
Tondy immediately understood.
" his life energy and magic healed us, gave us our heritage and as result an identity. Then he set us free" Tondy spoke out.
"Yes Tondy!! We don't need snatchers... They are liabilities. The pure bloods have there uses, but we should carry out the master's operation to guarantee success and to do that ,we need more of us.."
Nokby declared the acquisition of one of the wizarding worlds most detrimental lynch pins... House elves( Enslaved Forest elves)
At that moment, Nina had returned to the manor
