"Have a seat." Sir Lucas smiled and offered one of the chairs.Naga nodded and seated on a golden chair. He looked up and saw an elegant chandelier. Such a grand hall. Everything here are golden.
"I"m Lucas Magnus and I"m a Holy Knight. The House of Magnus is serving the Order for more than a century now. We owned this island and my grandfather is the current lord." Sir Lucas said.
"Sir Lucas is actually one of the knight instructors." Father Justus said.
"Old Justus is our head archaeologist." Lucas smiled at Naga. They are praising each other.
He paused before asking, "Naga, I"ll be honest with you. We want to recruit you. I hope that you join us."
Naga can feel how serious Lucas is.
"Sir Lucas, I appreciate your offer and kind gesture. However, I have different plans." He lightly shake his head. He smiled and bowed after.
"But cooperation is possible. I can cooperate to you as long as the task at hand is not detrimental to my plans." Naga continued.
Old Justus and Lucas was disappointed but they agreed. It is better than totally letting go of Naga. This kid has a pure Dragon Mana, they believe that he"ll be a grand figure in the future.
After a while, Naga and Old Justus went back to the church. Lucas told Naga that he can visit anytime and he will endorse him to the Sacred Grail University, one of the best and oldest universities. Naga didn"t decline and only smiled to Lucas.
It"s already dark when they arrived.
Outside the gate of the church, Naga bowed to the old priest.
"Are you sure that you don"t want our guards to escort you back?" Father Justus asked.
"Yes. I want to walk and enjoy the beauty of the night." Naga smiled.
"Okay. Take care, young master. G.o.d Bless you." Father Justus agreed.
"Thank you, Father." Naga smiled and turned around.
"Is he really a kid?" The guard asked and frowned.
"Yes, not an ordinary one though." The old priest turned around and walked.
Naga is walking and just enjoying the night. But once he reached the outside territory of the commoner"s town, three big men blocked Naga"s path.
"Hey! Tell your master to leave. You"re not needed here!" A big bearded man shouted.
Naga looked at him then answered, "Sure pal, I"ll tell my lord. Thanks."
The three men were surprised. This kid didn"t care and just walked past through them.
"What? Wh... what did you say moron?!" A tall mascular bald man yelled. These three were p.i.s.sed off.
Naga turned around and said, "You told me that we need to leave but I can"t decide for my lord. But, I also don"t want any trouble so I can only agree."
"I"m losing face here, you see? I agreed without even trying to argue." Naga frowned.
"Wh.. What the..."
The men became more furious. This kid is treating them like a bunch of fools.
The big bearded man can"t control his anger anymore and attacked Naga. He threw a punch full of wrath.
Naga dodged to the side and he kicked the man"s arm. The man didn"t receive too much damage but he was surprised. Naga started to run after. The three men followed him.
They are outside the boarder of the town so there are a lot more trees here and there"s a path going to the forest. There are no guards watching this path as well.
"How unfortunate. No guards, really?" Naga thought to himself. He ran through the forest and not to the pathway towards the city since he wanted to try something.
While running he utilized arcane and used his power blessing. With this he became faster and stronger. He utilized arcane again and summoned his great bow. Lastly, he activated the Iron Crow medallion so the arcane presence can be lightly suppressed.
The three men were surprised because it seems that the kid"s speed increase.
"Stop you d.a.m.ned brat!" The three men are really frustrated right now.
When the great bow was successfully summoned, he pulled a string made of fire and two arrows were generated.
With this, he did a sudden turn around move while still holding the bow and string firmly, he slided due to the sudden move but he still jumped backward. Then he aimed, fired and did a graceful turn around move. He started running again but much slower this time.
Seeing what Naga did, they were aghast and they felt danger. The men wanted to dodged but it"s too late already, two men were hit in the head. Only the huge bearded man remained standing. He stopped running, he can"t move now due to fear. He didn"t expect for a lowly servant to know magic.
He wanted to turn around and left but he saw that Naga stopped too and aimed at him.
"Ohh So.. soorryy. We were just following our leader"s order." The huge man cried seeing the fire bow and arrow.
"d.a.m.ned. Those moves hurt my lower body, specially my ankle. This body is still weak. Also, it seems that I can only generate two flame arrows at the same time for now and with my current mana reserve, it seems that I can only make seven arrows at best." Naga thought to himself. He"s still aiming at the huge man.
The man wanted to say something but Naga fired an arrow. "Sswwwoosh!"
"At least, my aim is still good. It"s been a long time. If I can only fire an sniper riffle again, it would be fun too." Naga said.
When Naga is still young and not yet a general, he trained himself with different firearms and weapons too aside from martial arts. Arrow shooting and sniping are his favorite.
He walked towards the dead men and observed. The fire arrows were gone but there were burn marks.
He didn"t listen to the last man since the city will eventually talk about the dead men anyways and he will know what gang they belonged to.
He went to a different direction and made sure that there were no evidence. The gang will suspect him but that"s it. No solid proof.
He reached the hotel after two hours. The manager is not here anymore so Naga was happy.
"Oh you"re here now. Your young lord is waiting for you. We informed him that you went to the commoner"s town." One of the employees informed Naga.
"Thank you." Naga smiled ans went to their suite.
"Oh Naga, you"re back. How"s the town and church?" Old Samuel asked.
"Good evening, My Lord." Bill greeted him.
"It"s special and full of secrets." Naga said.
"I see. Did they ask you about your Dragon Mana?" Old Samuel asked.
Naga were surprised. He smiled and said "So you knew Old Samuel."
"Of course. I"m not an Arcane Lord for nothing. I believe that it came from the book. You don"t talk about it before so I didn"t ask." Old Samuel said and smiled.
Billed looked at Naga. Actually, he"s still guilty about the Ancient Prime so hearing that his master got Dragon Mana from the book, makes him happy.
"I see. Yes. For now, let"s not talk about it." Naga said thwn he looked at Bill.
"Experts can feel your Ancient Prime. It might be a problem in the future. The gangs are not aware of it yet. Good thing." Naga reminded Old Samuel and Bill.
He continued, "I learned how we can hide the presence of Ancient Prime. I need your help, Old Samuel."
"Sure.", "We will not do anything tomorrow so let"s rest for now." The old elf recommended.
