The four of us are waiting by sitting in a large dinning room waiting on a homunculus that is working on dinner in the kitchen.
"Dinner is a orc steak with a side of salad."
"Sounds delicious will uncle be joining us?" *Cecily*
"No, but some will be put aside for him."
{DINNER IS READY} A female automata comes out with four plates on a large silver tray. She then sets a plate from the tray in front of each one of us.
"Thank you for the food!" *Everyone*
I took a bite. It was insanely delicious I didn't even voice out and shoved it all in my mouth.
"That was amazing"X3
"Really, it pretty normal here?"
"Aunt Freya only nobles regularly eat orc the average family has to splurge do so, and there are no chefs as good as the homunculi here."
"Well I'll show you all to the baths"
We go up stairs and half way down the long hall and on the right hand side and open the door.
"The right is for men and left for women."
I wave and go into the men's bath and as I enter I see Falium sitting there with a tired face.
I slowly walk over and start washing my self in the wash area and clean my self and then walk and sit as far as I could and relax in the bath.
Falium slides over to beside me.
"I have finished all the plates...but I was surprised you managed to not to be hit by my staff it was almost as if you could see the future."
"Uh huh"
"… Well I won't pry into you skills and the such but, predictive skills and the like, don't rely on them to much because there are countermeasures against them if your enemy realizes that you have one."
"Thanks for the warning."
After that we sat in there for 10 more minutes before I got out first.
I went to the living room and pull out a book from the shelf in there. As I look through it I was surprised that it was all in Ancient Gladius Empire script. I could read it due to me memorizing it for a ruin's excavation quest with Sister Gaia, she taught it to me saying it would be useful.
The Ancient Gladius Empire has many things left unknown about it. It used to cover the whole continent. It was extremely advanced even compared to today, and it disappeared one day for a unknown reason.
It was a perfect storm making it fit for many people to look at it and come up with various stories and legends.
Now that I think about it very few people can actually read as it is a lost language. I wonder how she could read it?
"Well well well"
The book had a lot of surprising information. It was full of various magic theories and techniques for metallurgy and smithing. It also had information on how attributes could evolve metals other than Iron and silver and the conditions necessary.
It seemed to be a research journal made by a smith.
I read about half of it by the time everyone in bath was coming down stairs.

"Oh I'm surprised. You can read it? I am only about half way finished deciphering it. Lately I have been searching various ancient texts to further my research. "
"Yeah it pretty interesting. It is talking about material science and how mana effects various minerals."
"Ohh! Can you translate it for me later? well any way lets get you all to your rooms."
She had us follow her back upstairs and told us "you can pick any room you like."
I picked the one closest to the stairs Tyrhrung joined me and Cecily chose the one right beside me.
Right after I picked it I walked in and laid down on the bed to try out how soft it is and immediately fell asleep.
