“Again!”
"What is he---."
----------------------------------------
“Brother Rowen, we are done gathering the parts of the dea---, deceased guards.”
Moments prior sir Baron had contacted old Wan. As Rowen was just about to end his tell, Levis's voice came all of a sudden from his rear, prompting him to turn around.
But as Rowen turned to look, Levis was still on the boar's back, most likely having done nothing, but sit on the boar's back all the time, while the beast and the guards, as well as the two former slaves, were toiling at recouping the body parts of the dead guards.
Though, as he looked at him, his mood lighten for a brief moment, before falling to his usual half-stoic demeanor.
“Well, if you are done, come here. I will introduce you. First to miss Adel, a student of medicine, and her guard lady Nicole. As for them, you already heard their names, but the two right here are lady July, who is the protector of Luise, and Miriam, Luise's handmaiden. In the end, Luise, who is---, my fiance--, you understand-, right."
"Wife!!!"
However just as Rowen, announced his relationship with the young woman, she immediately responded the moment after and expressed her own true standing in their relationship.
"---and well, sir Baron---, who is another-- well- another protector, in charger of oversing Luise."
“Nice to meet you all! Levis Ato—, mmm–, the great!”
“Phu-phu.”
But as Levis gave his own introduction, muffled giggles could be here, as the young women began to laugh slightly at his oh-so-slight "great" introduction.
“Agrrr—, now that you— are done—. Cub Levis—, get down—. And— fellow July—, can you help boar— to wash the blood— and grime— of boar’s body?
Though all the introductions did not matter so much, as the high place that Levis was beginning to like, became empty as he was forced to descend once again at his natural height whilst standing on the ground.
“Then please get in position, and—, Levis, can you step away for a moment.”
“Mmm- yes.”
But once on the ground, Levis looked at the woman called July, as the others moved away to give some space. Despite so, just as he was about to move as well, his legs stopped and his eyes bulged, while he observed the woman extend her right arm up, to her head high, with the palm upwards, as a blob of floating water begins to form immediately after the action of her hand.
[What---? How--? No-, wait, her power, she is at the Immortal---, no the King stage. But how—?]
“Thud” — “Splash”
“Agrrr—, again.”
Though just as Levis was in a moment of mental disarray, the blob of water grow to be larger than him, while it floated above the boar, and in the end fell onto him, drenching him as the water splashed on the ground, with some ricocheting droplets reaching for Levis.
And yet, not long after the first blob of water, a second was about to be formed, as it as well moved from the woman named July, and above the boar, who seemed to be pleased, being cleansed by the large and heavy amount of water.
[Can you see it?]
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
[I can. But how is she doing it?]
[Do you remember what I have said about the elements, or how the consciousness and energy react with one another?]
[--- Saing the element is wrong, because it is what cultivators understand better---, but not really--, and it is the consciousness that makes the energy transform into the "element", right!]
[You remember something, at the very least. It is more or less correct, as this is what you need to begin to learn, and to perform—, ki-kid!?]
“Now me!”
“Aaa! What?”
Yet as Urger was about to enter into his boring lectures, Levis broke his connection as he immediately approached the woman, and requested to have a blob of water fall onto him, which made July lose her composure for a split moment.
At the same time, at the said scene, the women and men, some distance away, were slightly taken back by his request, as only Rowen look with a somewhat knowing expression, as though he was almost expecting something out of the ordinary and idiotic to come out of him.
“You know, drop some water on me too—. As– you know, I need to clean myself as well.”
Although at his words, the woman took a close look at the child before her and could notice the state of his hands, face, and clothes, as he truly was rather dirty, however, the cleaning could be accomplished as well if she were to leave some water in a large pot for him to use. But in the end, she turned to look at the unfazed Rowen, only to receive a nod from him.
“Alright, I will create a smaller amount for you, as the force of the water might hurt you. Come here and stay still!”
Without any objection, Levis stood right before her, as she proceed to make a large blob of water above him, about three times as large as his head.
Subsequently, the floating water fell on the head of the child that was with his eyes all over the place, from her hand to the blob of water that was forming in the air. But as the water crashed on him, he felt the force of the water slamming on him, as he had the impression of being in the rapid of a river for a moment, though a slight surprise was that the water, was nighter too cold nor too scalding, as it was almost body temperature.
[Did you see it, or did you sense it?]
[I am not too sure, but as I took a hard look at it, all I felt was energy being formed into the water from her hand and then moving into the larger ball of water—. However, I have drunk a mouthful, and I can feel the energy in it, as it is quite a terrifying amount. But—, I do not know why, I can not extract any from it.]
[Hmm—, that is most likely because of the difference in energy density and quality. And, if you truly want to make it your own, you would need to refine and filter it once again.]
[What does that mean?]
[Does it feel like you are trying to melt a hard piece of ice?]
[Yes! That is what it feels like.]
[Hmmm—, maybe if you were to be stronger, this might not be a problem, but all in time, I will explain it to you, when we have some unattended time.]
[Alright then. In that case.] — “Again!”
"Agrrr---, fellow boar to---, do not forget!"
“Alright, if you want so. Reedy yourself.”
----------------------------------------
“Haha—, little Rowen, you have found an interesting “great” little fella.”
“Haha—, indeed, brother Rowen. You have found a real eccentric. But will he remain so naive? A simple water blob from lady July could contain enough power to crush any ranked cultivator, let alone his little great body. Yet he thinks he can compete with sir boar, in terms of body toughness. He sure believes himself to be a far greater little man, than he really is.”
However, at the said scene the young miss, Adel, and sir Baron began to make small jovial observations about the behavior of the young boy. As they were finding the boy's behavior humorous.
“Belief in oneself is also a great function in self-motivation. I would have not let him come with me, were he to be a simple and ordinary cultivator, otherwise.”
"That seems to be the case indeed."
----------------------------------------
However at the same time old Wan was making his way from the sound of the burned field to the north, not alarming anyone, though his eyes were on the scene of the boy enjoying the water fell onto him even more than the larger boar, making him wonder who was the human between the two of them.
----------------------------------------
Nevertheless, sir Baron, matched his glance all of a sudden just as he was to enter into the forest to the north while nodding his head towards him.
“Hmmm---, caretaker Wan seems to have done his business south and is heading north. Little Luise, I will go and accompany fellow Wan for a short time, in his inspection to understand what had happened north from here. I will be several hundred breaths of time away from this place, in the worst case. But with lady July and lady Nicole here, there should not be any danger too great to stop, in the direst case, they can keep you all safe until my imminent arrival.”
"---."
But to Sir Baron's words, the young miss did not react as she seemed to be whispering something to Rowen while sticking to his arm.
"Luise!"
“Yes, if Sir wishes, then he can leave any time.”
“I thank you, little miss---. Dabo!"
"Agrrr---!"
"Look after them, while I am gone.”
“Agrrr— alright!”
But as old Wan entered the forest without alerting anyone, sir Baron made his exit from the group as he excused himself, and began to run in the distance as he himself disappear into the forest as well.
----------------------------------------
"Caretaker Wan, may I?"
"Mmm---!? If sir Baron wishes to accompany me, then who am I to reject the offer? But I do not think this is the right action to execute in our current situation, leaving the young master and misses all alone!?"
