The Master Of Elements

ME 42 Pawn Old Tom's House (2)

Matthew, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. “What do we need to pay? Are fifty Crystal elements enough? If it is lacking, Master only tells it to me. Although not much, I think I can pay the transportation fee.”

Not without reason Matthew offered to pay for his own transportation costs. He just didn't want to bother John too much. At least John's been protecting them, hasn't he? So if it is necessary, Matthew does not mind spending money on this transportation cost.

“Are you sure you'll give me that many little girls?” tom asked with smirking lips.

“Of course Mr. Is that enough?” ask Matthew again.

“Hey it's too expensive Tom. Are you going to blackmail them? Riding a train is much cheaper. From Suiria City to Greenwood City I only need to pay a few gold coins. Fifty Crystals very expensive element Tom.”

“Young man, I suggest don't offer that much money to this man. If you offer that much, then this person must have done various ways to make you want to spend your money on him.” Obviously John glanced at Tom.

“You don't accuse me like that John. It's just business. There's no harm in not me doing business.”

“Heh.” John grunted quietly. “You're greedier than the most greedy trader I've ever met. Give us a reasonable price. I'll pay for it, this time I'll really pay for it.”

“You can ruin my business if it's like that John.” Tom said as he shook his head.

“Alright. For you guys I will charge five low-level elemental Crystals. There is no such thing as debt, pay cash in advance, there is no such thing as being repaid. Tomorrow morning we'll leave.”

Tom then extended his hand towards John. He asked for payment in advance. Tom knows what John is like. The word shame is not in John's dictionary. He always used friendship to get free things. So Tom doesn't want John to stand up again if he charges a debt to him.

“Alright I'll pay.” John then took out an element crystal the size of a marble ball.

If Matthew saw, the elemental crystal John issued with his elemental Crystal had a difference. The elemental crystal that John handed to Tom was more clear in color, slightly transparent according to Matthew, compared to his element crystal which was slightly more concentrated in color. Perhaps this is what distinguishes the levels of the Crystal element. Not the size, but the concentration.

“You must prepare a place for us to rest. I can't take the two kids to the inn. So you have to prepare a place for us to sleep.”

“Of course. I can arrange it. There was empty space in room number five, six and seven. You can wear it.” After saying so, Tom turned his body around and entered the room number nine. After that, Tom slammed the door that was there.

Bams.

Looks like the person in this pawn house is very happy to slam the door. Are they not afraid that their doors will be broken?

“Good kids. You heard it yourself, not the Old Man's words. So, you can choose which room you will use.”

“Can we use one room only Grandpa John?” matthew suddenly asked.

John looked at both. He was not surprised by Matthew's request this time. During this trip, when they spent the night at the inn, the three brothers indeed preferred to sleep one room. So Matthew's request this time was very easy for John to grant.

But it seems like there is something they should know. John doesn't know if Sebastian or Amore have told them about this yet. John would say this to them.

“You know that men and women are very different? Even though you are brothers, you cannot continue to sleep together. That's not gonna be good. I think it's time to sleep apart. In the academy later, you have a different dormitory.”

“So, if you do not get used to sleeping separately from now on, you will find it difficult later. Then, I will not petrify you in the academy to get the same room.” Obviously John.

“We understand Grandpa John. We slept in our own rooms for a long time. Don't you already know this?” ask Jasper.

This was a word Matthew had planned with his two younger siblings. Actually, Ellie didn't have any nightmares at all. Although the incident with the bandits was a little traumatic, but Ellie was fine.

It was all just an excuse Matthew wanted to give John not to bother about this much. What Matthew and the two others actually did was practice. They are training their element.

Matthew also helped his two younger siblings practice how to use the elements to make them more intelligent. Even though they were able to do it before, they trained even harder.

In addition, Matthew also wants to speed up the process “berkeman” with space elements. Practicing together with his two younger siblings only focused on gathering space elements made Matthew's mastery faster.

Now Matthew feels the development of the space element is getting closer to the word perfect. Those elements already trusted Matthew. Some are already seen hovering around the tubing.

However, it cannot be said that Matthew fully has these elements. Maybe a few more days Matthew is sure to make the space element really be “ his”.

“Ah yes. I've forgotten that. You have your own room in the house. Well if now you prefer to sleep together I will not forbid it. I'm asking you to get some rest. Don't sleep too late.”

“We understand Grandpa John.” Matthew and his two brothers said together.

….

Matthew and his two sisters were awakened by the sound of knocking on the door. John's voice behind the door, can be heard by the three twin brothers.

“Kids get up fast. We'll be leaving soon.” John woke them both up.

“Good Grandpa John. We will be ready soon.” Answer Matthew.

Matthew then focused his concentration on the water element, not long after which a water ball appeared in his hand. Matthew used the water to wash his face.

The past few days have indeed trained the use of its elements in this way. A simple way like this makes it better understand the use of elements efficiently.

Not far from Matthew, Ellie also did the same thing as he did. According to Ellie, ever since she learned how to use elements, things seem to be easier to do. Just look at it now, he didn't need to walk all the way to the bathroom to wash his face.

A few days ago he also tasted the water he made through the elements. The water felt very fresh and cold. In this way, does not Ellie also no longer need to walk far to the kitchen to find drinking water, right?

While Jasper has no water element, he asks Matthew to give him some water to clean himself like the others.

When they are ready, they leave the room. Outside the room was John and Tom waiting for them. When they came out, Matthew could feel John looking at them with a peeking gaze. But he said nothing to them.

“Are we leaving now?”  tanyajasper's chat.

“Yes. You guys follow me. We're going to get out of Suiria City. But we will not pass through the city gate.”

“If not pass through City gate, then where will we go?” ask Jasper.

“Follow me later you will also know yourself.” said Tom.

The man then walked ahead of the small group. Although John said that Tom can not see, but the man can walk smoothly without the need to feel the surrounding area. Perhaps it was because he had memorized this place so that the man no longer needed to use the aids in order to walk without bumping into something.
