The Master Of Elements

ME 28 Desire Jasper

There were about thirty carriages lined up neatly near the exit of the village. Matthew saw that not all of the trains were passenger cars. Most of these cars are freight cars.

A monster that becomes a horse puller is a monster that has a horse-like shape. It was just that the monster had two horns on their heads. Each train is pulled by two monsters. In addition to the monsters used to pull the carriage, Matthew also saw some monsters ridden by the Knights. Looks like the knights are the bodyguards of this caravan.

Matthew saw the knights had various elements. But they have one thing in common: the element they have is just the basic element. Matthew did not find any other element owners.

From a distance Matthew saw the trader who had made a transaction with John was giving instructions to people around him. Most of them moved large wooden boxes into the car. Seeing how they very carefully moved the boxes Matthew

sure the thing inside is quite valuable.

Fortunately, he had already shopped at this merchant. If he waited for John and the others to finish their meal, then Matthew would not be able to buy condiments or weapons.

However, there was something unpleasant that Matthew experienced afterwards. But that didn't make Matthew regret leaving John and accepting the bad news. At least now he had a rusty sword that had the element of life.

Not only that, he also got a new space bag and an earth berelem magic wand that belonged to Leonard. This was also beneficial for Matthew.

Ron led the small roar towards a carriage located in the back row of the caravan. Although not in the final row, but this is quite far from the front row. The average front row is filled with freight cars.

There was no special symbol seen on the carriage that was in front of Matthew.  It looks like a regular train. Even so, the train is quite good when compared to other passenger trains. Perhaps this was the best train the Gold Mine Caravan could give them.

“This is the train you will be riding Mr.” Said Ron who delivered the three of them.

“Uncle, how much longer do we arrive at next stop?” ask Matthew.

If it takes too long on the journey, the two will definitely feel hungry again. Especially after experiencing a bad incident, Matthew suddenly thought of filling his stomach again. He was not sure that the food Elisha had prepared in his pocket was enough for their dinner.

Matthew also wanted to know their next stop. At least if they are going to stop in a village or town, then they do not need to sleep in an open space right?

It's not that Matthew doesn't want to sleep in an open space, it's just that Matthew doesn't prepare stuff to sleep in an open space. At least they need some blankets and bedding, right? The train in front of him is not too broad and will not be comfortable to sleep there.

“Five more hours we will arrive at the neighboring village. Maybe we'll spend the night there. But I don't know anymore. The caravan leader seemed to want to rush towards the city. We might not stop at the neighboring village. Maybe we will continue the journey and spend the night on the road.”

“All decisions are at the head of the caravan so I don't know exactly what the plan is. If you're afraid of not being able to eat dinner, you just calm down. Our caravan sells some food. So if later we rest you can buy food from us.” Obviously Ron.

Matthew nodded slowly. It seemed like he had nothing to fear of not being able to get food later. If this caravan also sells food, then for food affairs he can leave aside for now.

“Alright, thanks Uncle.” Matthew.

The three were still standing near their carriage. They still have no intention of entering the train. Ellie observed the surrounding atmosphere. In addition to them it turns out that there are other people who also join this merchant caravan to travel. There was a lot of luggage that these people had brought.

Ellie then looked towards her small entourage. There was nothing they brought. Only John had a stick. But the stick is not a luggage that someone carries when traveling.

Luckily they had pockets of space. If Elisha had not given them pockets of space, it was certain that they would be as hassled as those people who looked a little overwhelmed with their luggage.

‘We're lucky Matthew. We have space pockets. Try if mom doesn't give us a space. There will definitely be a lot of stuff that we bring.’ Ellie said telepathically.

Hearing Ellie's words, Matthew looked towards the people. It was just like his sister said. People who also joined the merchant caravan were seen carrying a lot of goods. Most of their luggage, they put it in a sack. Some also carry their luggage in wooden boxes.

Matthew frowned seeing that. He only realized that they were a mistake, not big but serious enough. They brought nothing to fool those around them.

If they didn't bring anything, wouldn't it make people suspicious of them. Those people will immediately think that they have a space bag or space ring.

In Matthew's hands was only the spice he had bought. He had not put it in his pocket. Other than a small pouch filled with herbs, they carried nothing.

Without answering Ellie's words, Matthew immediately turned his gaze toward John. “Grandfather John, we don't bring anything with us. I mean, those guys were carrying luggage with them. Meanwhile we don't bring anything.”

 “Didn't that make them instantly think we have a space pouch or a space ring. Does that not matter? I mean, my mom said we had to keep our terns secret that had pockets of space. Then, if we didn't bring anything, wouldn't it be very suspicious?” matthew asked in a soft voice.

John laughed softly at Matthew's words. “Let's just that doesn't matter. Let me show you the luxury I have. If any trouble comes, they will definitely come to me. Don't you know why I look like the weak man I am today?” John asked, which was answered by

“What's really why? Even though you're dressed that bad, I never thought that you were a weakling.” Said Jasper who realized their problem after hearing Matthew's words.

“That's because you already know my real identity. Someone else will not know. I want to pretend to be a cat to catch a wolf. I have the power of a tiger. I prefer to behave weakly to lure those who are greedy.”

“If you see a weak person who has a lot of treasure, surely the first thought that arises is to seize the treasure with your strength. The owner of the property is a weak man. Those are the people I targeted.”

“It would be very boring for me to travel without entertainment, right? Those greedy people are my entertainment during the trip.” Obviously John with a grin on his lips.

John reminds Matthew of Leonard. Didn't the man die from underestimating John? He thought John was just a weakling. So ida said. In the end, he couldn't beat John.

Matthew is now starting to feel sorry for John's victims. They must have thought of successfully obtaining a fat prey that could be easily conquered. They will certainly be devastated when they find out the person they are dealing with is not what they imagined. It was like crushing a rock with an egg. It's clear they'll lose.

“So you guys don't worry about that. I can handle everything.”

After this small talk the four people entered their carriage. Some Knights were already shouting at them and the other passengers to rush into the train as soon as their caravan was about to depart.

The room in the car is not very large. According to Matthew, the room in this train was loaded by six people. There are two long chairs facing each other. Matthew and Jasper chose to sit in the same seat while John and Ellie sat in front of them, turning their backs towards the direction the train was going.

The chair they were riding in was quite comfortable, not too hard according to Matthew. The chair was covered in red cloth. The interior of the train still displays a distinctive color of wood, brown. There was no luxury in the car.

Matthew did not know whether the rate they needed to pay was quite expensive or not. The train they were riding was pretty ordinary. But Matthew was curious about the monster that pulled this carriage.

For eight years of living in this world, the only monster Matthew had ever seen was Cosen Cow who was in their backyard. So now Matthew wants to ask John about the monster.

“Grandfather John, what's the name of the monster that pulled this train? They look pretty strong. I also saw some knights also riding on those monsters.” Ask Matthew pencaran.

“That monster, it's Hontrea. Such monsters are often used as mounts. They are very easily tamed. Besides that Hontrea has quite strong stamina. Moreover, this monster is very easy to breed so the price is not too high.”

“A Iron X level Hontrea can cover a distance of five hundred kilometers within twelve hours, and is usually sold for one gold coin. Most of the Hontrea in this caravan were bronze-level monsters, They could cover a distance of a thousand kilometers within twelve hours if they were at Bronze X level. The price is also quite cheap, only eight to ten gold coins per tail.”

“It looks like this Gold Mine Caravan is quite large if you see the many Bronze-level Hontrea they have.”

Jasper's eyes sparkled at John's explanation. He believed the money Elisha had given them was enough to buy the monster. Jasper suddenly had the thought to possess the monster.

“So anyone can have it?” Ask Jasper. “Matthew You have to buy me a monster like that. Wouldn't it be cooler if I waited for him?”

“Hahaha.” Hearing Jasper's words, John laughed. “I'm not sure you can wait for that monster. You need to train hard to be able to sit on the monster's back and control them. I'm sure Sebastian never taught you guys how to ride monsters.”

“If you don't know, there you will fall from the monster when you try to ride them.”

John's words made Jasper a little moody. He did not know that it takes special techniques to fight monsters. Jasper blamed this on his father. At least his father can tell them this, right?

Seeing the moody Jasper John tried to comfort him. “You don't need to be moody like that young man. You can learn that later at the academy. If you become a student of the academy, there will be many things you can learn. Monster fighting lessons are very basic for first-year students. So don't get discouraged.”

Matthew also did not want to lose to restore his brother's spirit. He telepathically sent Jasper so that his sister would not be sad anymore.

‘Jas, don't be too sad. I found an object that has the element of life. I wonder if that thing could help me learn the elements of life faster or not. What is clear, if we have the element of life, your desire to have a mount can be accomplished.’

‘Do you remember Mom saying that the owner of the element of life can control animals? So that is our solution.’

Hearing Matthew's words, Jasper immediately directed his gaze towards his twin brother. Ellie did not want to lose, she also looked at Matthew expectantly. Not only did Jasper want a ride, Ellie wanted one too.

‘You must promise to teach us the elements of life and tame Matt.’ mount animals Ellie Pinta.

‘Of course.’ Answer Matthew.
