Ryana, Lacey, and Francess can't linger in Alex's place. Ryana and Lacey are currently at the end of priesthood education so their busy lives are plentiful. So Pula with Francess who is doing an internship program.
Before it became dark, the three women left in a carriage. It was not very luxurious, but spacious and comfortable during the trip.
In the morning Alex went to water the plants they planted. Since the plants had been doused with magic potions, on this day he only watered with water.
After that, Alex did his normal activities in the morning.
He started exercising to keep his body fit. Alex doesn't know how he can turn this extreme. When he comes to this world, Alex is already committed to being a slacker but after what happened to his investment products (Merry and Alven), Alex realizes that he is now nothing more than mortal.
Alex realizes one thing, if he is weak, he will continue to be bullied. Either by his parents, his brother, or even an outsider.
For example, a few years earlier, Alex would continue to be haunted by Harol for training, telling him to hunt, and sparing with his brothers.
It was no more because he was weak so Harol always tried to train him to be stronger.
In addition, when talking about comfort, honestly he prefers the current condition of his body. His physically strong body caused him to be able to increase his ability in controlling his supernatural power.
This was in contrast to the weak body a year ago that even with the condition of that body he could only throw some aura power.
Moreover, the condition of this powerful body made him recall his main body.
Well, Alex or Sheol's main body as archdeus isn't what many people imagine.
The body of Sheol the Emperor of Death and Guard of Knowledge cannot be said to be beautiful.
Instead it seems creepy.
With horns on the head, wings on the back, two pairs of hands, and a coarse dark skin color like coal made him the most sinister archdeus. Coupled with the size of the bodies of the archdeus are extraordinarily majestic. As the Greatest, the Archdeus literally had a body far larger than anything they had ever created.
Even more massive, his body could not enter the space and time they created. This means that although it is often mentioned that archdeus lived in their respective highest realms, for example Sheol who was in Ardha, Hell of the 7th level or God Emperor who reigned on the Heavenly Throne in Olympus, Heaven 7th level. It's just a figure of speech.
If it's clearer, they're not there. On the contrary, the high worlds are only 'gates' that separate the nature of the creation and the nature of the Khalik. That's why when Sheol woke up on his throne in Ardha, he didn't mean to sleep on his throne. But more precisely, his vision to see all the worlds created by archdeus was again active.
That's why the immortals living in Hell need constellations to interpret when their master, their creator 'is awake'. That's because they don't have the ability to see their creator.
When those immortals gathered in Ardha to meet their creator, they actually could not see anything. The only intermediary between them and their creator was a black fire that raged on a throne. It was from this fire that they could hear and feel the presence of their master.
The archdeus has its own nature. They dwell in unknown, undefined, and unimaginable realms.
But obviously, if the immortal were a god, angel, until the demon was asked where their master was, they would point to the sky, saying: 'He dwells above us, and our world is in His grasp.'
When he returned, Justin had made breakfast available at the table. Breakfast today was not special. It's just whole grain bread stuffed with meat and extra egg whites. As for drinking it, it was fresh milk from the farms around the village.
Alex sat down and ate quietly. Justin was standing next to her.
While watching his master eat, Justin recalled that at normal times when his master was still a slacker, he always had the task of waking up his master. But now sometimes even his master often wake up earlier than him.
The change of master is not without cause. Justin understood how his master had now changed. With the barracks training and the training agreement made between his master and Harol a few months ago, plus his master's determination to be stronger after the Merry kidnapping incident, it has changed the habits for many years.
"Justin, is everything ready?"
Alex asked without turning his face.
"Izin reported to my lord. All the supplies and other necessities I have prepared."
Alex nodded. When Alex hears that Ryana is going to bring her friend who is an expert in magic farming, Alex becomes excited. For that, he could not sleep so that it affects the training performance he gave to his men.
The fatigue that afflicted Alex due to insomnia is not mental but physical. After all, his body in this world was still a mortal body that had a limit.
So to make up for the training schedule that was loose, Alex discussed with Rain to make an intensive training schedule. Of course Rain nodded happily.
Since Alex had designed such a heavy type of training, this could only be done by Rain. As for Alven, it is better to be focused on mastering the theory for now.
"After Rain is ready, we'll leave immediately. So I entrusted my two children to you, especially Merry."
He observed the shoulders of his master covered by clothes. Because his master wore thin clothes during sports and was soaked in sweat that it made him sticky on the skin, Justin saw bite scars there.
However, the fangs of children aged 7 years are still quite large not to mention the condition of Merry who is not a pure vampire causes his fangs are not as sharp as ordinary vampires. This causes the wound to have a wider diameter.
"Both Master. If you don't mind how many days you'll be out?" ask Justin
"Maybe three or five days. Anyway I have to keep an eye on the growth of our magic plant so we won't be up to a week."
"Dad to go?"
The childish voice interrupted their conversation.
At the door, Merry stood up with sleepy eyes. He's still in his pajamas.
"Good morning, dear. Sit down" Alex greeted with a smile.
Merry sat in his chair.
Justin pushed closer breakfast to Merry on the table.
Although Merry became a vampire, fortunately there was no change in her diet.
He can still eat plant-based or other non-animal foods.
Normally, vampires only eat meat. Of course it applies to vampires with the common class down. While for noble vampires upwards can eat normal food. Nevertheless, blood became their favorite and source of strength.
Like at the moment. Merry was eating her omelet but for her drink, it was a deep red liquid that was inside the magic potion bottle.
That fluid is blood. Not ordinary blood, it was Alex's blood stored inside the bottle of magic potion.
The magic potion bottle has the function of preserving. That was why magic herbs like healing potions were always placed in the bottles of magic potions that had been given runes or magic spells. But of course, the price of these bottles is very expensive, so instead of buying disposable bottles, to maximize utility they have to buy refillable bottles.
"Dad to go?"
Not getting an answer, Merry repeated his previous question.
"Yes. Didn't you tell me before? Did you forget?" alex said softly.
Merry shook his head.
"Merry remembered. But ...."
Merry took Alex's hand and clasped his palm tightly.
Merry could feel her father's hand was no longer as soft as before.
It's full of calluses and scars.
Merry knew her father was training more and more since he was kidnapped. Merry knew her father was always training because he wanted to protect her.
"Dad ...."
"Darling, I promise I'll be back soon. Can you trust me?"
Merry held her breath as her father asked the question.
His father was always like this. When his father went to the mine together with the young master of the County of Morhust, he also told him this.
Although they had only met for less than a year but Merry knew, his father was a man with a strong stance. Although his father always persuaded him in a soft voice but his father always had a firmness that would never collapse.
He and his father stared at each other for a few seconds before Merry finally kissed his father's arm. Then smile.
"Dad, please come back safely."
