Chapter 24
Significance (4)
Switch watched Anonym, who was watching Mark with sad eyes. He wanted to know what she was thinking. For her to do something like this, did she feel something for that guy?
Before he could think more, Anonym looked up at him and smiled.
Her smile shocked him and he couldn’t look away. She didn"t say anything and didn"t move but nodded to him and smiled. What was that supposed to mean!?
Switch put a hand to her face, pushing her hair behind her ear, "Are you feeling good?"
"Mmm."
He chuckled, "Is it time to go to town?"
Anonym sighed, "Do you think you could give me a piece of paper and then every talent there is? And ink?"
Nodding, Switch clicked his fingers, producing a piece of paper. Anonym looked at it, then frowned.
"I guess you haven"t seen all the talents yet. We"ll find out a lot more from town."
Looking at the piece of paper, Switch had listed at least several talents...How many were there anyway?
He had been here a year and knew of all of them on that piece of paper. Was there another way he could come up with a list?
Thinking things through, he clicked again and a book appeared in his hands. Dust came of it and slowly floated to the floor.
Turning to Anonym, he said, "How about this?"
Grabbing the book, Anonym opened it up, to see quite a ma.s.sive amount of knowledge. Ah, this old thing. It was indeed something she had come to the Rain Clan to get. "Much better! Great work!"
She grabbed his clothes and pulled him down, then kissed him on the cheek.
Through his astonishment, he just stood there, not noticing her walk away and start going through the book.
...She…Kissed me!
He was unsure how to feel about that!
As Anonym busily started to write down some talents, Mark finished changing and went towards her, seeing the book.
For a moment he didn’t see anything special about it, but it looked…Somewhat familiar…
"That"s...That book!" He was pointing at it, like it was a dream, it was only one of four books in the world of Roneglaise! How did she get this book!?
"Yeah. Actually, I wrote this book."
Bang...
Mark had fallen to his knees, on the ground, in his utter shock. He knew this book was very old, so old that they didn"t precisely know how old it was! How could this little girl have written this book!?
He was shocked into speechlessness, just like Switch had been from a kiss on the cheek!
Yet, she had no idea, or care...
"You...You...Wro...Wrote this!?" Mark stuttered.
Anonym looked up, a bit annoyed because she was concentrating, "Yeah, well, I wrote it once...I made my servants do the other three."
A strange sound came out of Mark"s opened mouth, but no words were said. He just didn"t understand how that could be possible! The person who wrote this, was that legend in the book that ended up dying, unable to gain longer life through the unattainable art of Immortality! How can this be possible!
Anonym looked at Mark and asked, "Are you okay?...Do you want this book?"
"Great...Great Master Belwin!"
Frowning at the name, Anonym sighed, "What!?"
Switch looked at one and then the other, "Who is this "Great Master Belwin"?"
"The legendary...Belwin."
Also frowning, Switch clicked his fingers and a book appeared in his hands. He looked at it with great interest. "Ah, were you this "Great Master", Anonym?"
"Mmm. That was a long time ago."
A long time ago!?
Mark knew it was more than just a "long time ago". It was at least a hundred thousand years ago!
"This will give me something else to do while you"re in secluded cultivation!" Switch said, as he held the book with enthusiasm.
"Uh?" Anonym had tried to concentrate again, but they kept talking!
Seeing the book in his hands, she frowned, "Ah."
Chuckling, Switch looked at her and then Mark, "What are your plans?"
Mark was still speechless and couldn"t think properly, as he just continued to look blankly at Anonym.
Seeing him like this, made Switch unhappy. He placed the book in his hands in front of Mark’s eyes, to stop him from eyeballing Anonym. "Oi, what are your plans?"
Mark looked up and tried to think, but nothing came to mind. He felt like an insignificant fly at the moment! What does his life matter!
Sighing, Switch tried again, "Will you go into secluded cultivation too, to get stronger?"
"Stronger?" Mark asked. To be strong! That is a great idea!
Switch nodded towards Anonym and said, "She could probably point you in the right path. Just don"t get too close to her or I"ll get mad!"
Mark blankly looked at Switch, "Uh?"
How could he, a fly, get close to the Great Master Belwin! He is undeserving!
Nodding easily, he really did want to start to figure out what he was going to do!
