"What"s this?" Naga asked. He was surprised since the soup is golden."A stew of Golden Feather Chicken. I put some Golden Maiden Herbs too." The Elder said.
He continued, "Go get some. Let"s talk after eating."
Naga started trying the food and he was really shocked. The taste is really great. He looked at the Elder who is enjoying the meal as well.
"A simple house with imperial cuisine." He chuckled and started eating again.
"Aaaahhh... Good. Good. I am happy that you visited me, kid." The Elder said after finishing his meal.
"It is my fortune to meet you, respected Elder." Naga smiled and responded.
"You"ll leave today, right?" The Elder asked.
"Yes. A lot of preparation is needed." Naga answered.
After a while, Naga asked. "Will you help humanity in case of great peril?"
"I... I can"t." The Elder lightly shooked his head.
"I see." Naga said. He doesn"t know why but he will not ask further as he truly respect the old man.
"Kid..." The Elder said and looked at Naga.
"You can"t still use the Divine Pure Flame but it is good that you are wise. Using a scroll as a medium. Good. Good. Do you still have a scroll that can contain a divine fire?" The Elder asked.
Naga was surprised but he responded, "Yes. I still have. However, I didn"t expect that putting the fire into the scroll is dangerous so..."
"So you didn"t try to do it again? Haha!" The Elder laughed.
Naga tried it before and it caused a huge disturbance in the city. He was injured too.
"Good. Good. Now, I will help you... Having two of those scrolls with divine flames will give a better a.s.surance of survival in the future." The Elder said and stood up.
He went outside the hut and Naga followed. They went to the hut"s backyard.
"Let"s start. Open the scroll." The Elder commanded.
"Yes!" Naga answered and he opened the scroll.
When Naga opened the scroll, a white warm light suddenly appeared. He felt a strong magical aura coming from the warm light. He looked at the Elder and he was amazed.
"Kid. This is one of the Great Sanctum spells. It can help containing the Divine Pure Flame for a while." The Elder said.
Naga nodded and he utilized his arcane mana. He focus the magic power again to his left hand. A strong magical presence exuded from his hand. The whole place shook and brigth lights appeared in the sky. "Sssshhhhh!" "Crackle!"
Those are the flames within the area that answered the call of the Divine Pure Flame. The beasts and animals were scared. They all hide in their teritories and dens.
The Elder was surprised but he is still as calm as a strong boulder. He utilized his arcane and casted another spell. This time it is a golden light that surrounded the area.
After that, the Elder commanded. "Go!"
"Ancient Prime! Naga was shocked but after hearing the Elder, he hastily fired the magic power on his hand to the scroll.
"Aaaaaahh!" He shouted when he fired the spell. Same as before the process is still painful to his flesh.
He gritted his teeth due to pain but suddenly a warm light encircled him.
"This is!" He was surprised. The warm light is healing him. He looked at his burning hands and saw that it is starting to heal quickly.
"Good. Good. We can rest now, kid. Just watch the process and relax." The Elder said smiling.
"Thank you, venerable Elder." Naga said and smiled.
The Elder just nodded and smiled.
Naga looked at the scroll and saw that is almost done absorbing the Divine Pure Flame. He saw that the golden light is preventing the Divine Pure Flame to go wild while the warm white light is preventing the place to get burn. However, both of the spells are weakening now.
"A divine fire will always be a divine fire. It can"t be easily contained." The Elder commented.
"You have both Holy and Ancient Prime power." Naga said.
"You are wrong but also correct." The Elder said and smiled.
Naga waited for explanation but the Elder didn"t talk anymore. He looked at the scroll again. Afrer few minutes, the process was completed. He took the floating scroll and he put it back to his earring"s storage.
"Thank you, venerable Elder. It is my fortune to get a.s.sistance from you." Naga bowed respectfully and said.
"It is fine. Haha!" The Elder laughed.
They went back to the hut and talked about some other things. The Elder provided some guidance about arcane too. It was already dark when Naga decided to leave.
"Elder, I appreciate your help. I will continue to study the s.p.a.ce arcane and I will make sire to visit." Naga said and bowed.
"Good. Good. Of course, please visit this old man again. The Elder said smiling.
A huge portal appeared when the The Elder waved his hand and then he said, "Go, this will send you to the outskirts of Profound Sky City."
"Thank you, venerable Elder." Naga bowed before turning around to walk.
"Wait, kid. Here. Give this scroll to your friend with Ancient Prime. It will help him." The Elder gave Naga a scroll and said.
Naga took the scroll and nodded. He bowed again before entering the portal.
"A reincarnated Martial Saint from a different world. Perhaps this disturbed the balance so the universe punished us by reincarnating a Demon Lord." The Elder chuckled. He turned around and left after the portal disappeared.
When Naga exited the portal, two guards saw him.
"Yyo... young sir!" The guards said and hastily ran into him.
"What are you doing here? Are the rangers with you?" One of the guards asked.
Naga looked around and noticed that he was near the Western Gate. He responded, "Yes. Any news around?"
"There is none here, young sir. However, there is an interesting news near the outskirts in the East. A dragon was found. A real one! The Profound Sky Magic Hall and the City Lord"s Mansion are investigating it now." A huge guard said with an excited tone.
"A dragon? Seems interesting. I will visit the place later." Naga said and smiled.
"Great!" The smaller guard said.
"For now, wait here, young sir. I will request a carriage so you can go back to the Iron Crow Manor." The huge guard said and quickly left.
"Thank you." Naga said and smiled.
"A dragon. This is getting more interesting." Naga thought and smiled.
The small guard told Naga some information he heard about the dragon found in the East. According to the people, the guard said that the dragon was wounded. The guards tried to approach the dragon but they were attacked. The dragon hastily flew away after that.
