Sam wakes up at night and enjoys a delicious dinner and rests again. But that night, a lot of people couldn't sleep. Because, in the house many people were awake, a leather pouch appeared out of nowhere with thousands to tens of thousands of spirit stones. The amount varies depending on how much their lives are affected by the illegal activities of the Black Pool.
All the commoners who received the leather pouch also received something else with it and it was a note with the words 'Robin Hood'.
The next day, the news reached the high-ranking officers and even the Count himself. When he found out the name on Robin Hood's note, he fully believed in the scrolls and letters that came yesterday. Now, he was eager to meet this person and recruit her. After all, even though the other party was dealing with the absolute trash of society, the higher-ups and the people in power would not let it go so easily.
The main reason was the millions of spirit stones that were in the hands of the underworld organization. If they let a guy like Robin hood do these things his own way, the money would be his own. It was the millions of spirit stones that escaped from their hands. How could they let him?
And other than the Count and the officials, there were others who were thinking about Sam at the moment. More specifically, that person was thinking of the person who destroyed the Black Pool. She was none other than a great witch from a neighboring town.
He came here from the nearby count city where he was in charge of the Black Pool branch. He came here on request to help catch the people acting against the Black Pool. But before he arrived yesterday, the entire main members of Black Pond disappeared. Other minor members took as many resources as they could and hid.
He was completely stunned as well as exasperated at the same time. After all, the Black Pool was not a small organization. It has a total foundation of twelve years and within a few days everything just disappeared. He immediately erases all ideas to find the culprit and begins his journey back.
He should report this matter to the superiors and it should also be done as soon as possible. But those large-scale communication tools only existed in his headquarters. So, he's leaving soon.
The next morning, Sam woke up with a fresh mind. His wounds had healed, but his body was still a little sore and sore. But he felt he could move normally and continue his activities as usual.
The first thing he did after exiting the mansion was to go to the Artisan tower to get the forging equipment. He asked them to send all the equipment to his house.
When he returns to the mansion, he discovers that Watt has just returned from a hunt with Falck. They carried a huge deer like a wild beast with them. The two went to the backyard and lit a fire where the meat from the venison was being roasted.
"From tomorrow onwards, your training will begin. Don't think about learning a spell or a normal attack. You are a Beast warrior now and you will have an advantage over normal warrior magicians.
Your every move, which may be physical attacks, spells, defenses, whatever you will use in battle will be obtained from the way the savage beasts obtained it.
You do not need to waste time on hand seals and other. Just like how an animal can directly attack, you can also do that and you will practice until you reach it.
As for weapons, you should think about weapons for yourself and decide. Tell me when you have decided, then I will make it. But remember, the weapon may be ordinary, but your use must be unique in your own way."
Watt continued to nod to show his agreement.
After they eat, Sam issues a Communication token and contacts Lady Maya.
# Artisan Sam, have you decided on dinner? # Maya's voice sounds as soon as the connection is connected.
"How about tonight?" ask Sam.
# Okay, I agree. Then I will wait for your arrival. # Maya agrees.
After setting the time, the two hang up the phone and Sam returns to his room. He lay on his bed as he began to think, he was thinking about the research project he wanted to do.
Time passed slowly, and by nightfall, Sam was still confused about what topic he should research. The Forging Equipment had been sent to his basement. This time the entire equipment and installation cost over 600,000 spirit stones. Although the number was extremely high when compared to the previous equipment he had obtained from the bet on the Starwood City Artisan tower, it was due to the fact that this equipment should be able to withstand the flames of a great mage.
Sam went to the basement where the equipment was stored and after making sure no one was there, he immediately took everything to the second floor of the tower and returned to his room. He had to assemble the equipment and make sure there were no problems with the equipment.
He had just finished fixing everything and finished organizing his workshop, right before the sky darkened. After coming out of the tower, he bathed and changed into new clothes, before he exited the mansion.
Everyone in the mansion enjoyed their time in the Count city. Sam learns that they all also went out tonight for shopping or other recreational activities.
Sam did not mind and started walking to the Violet dew family residence. When he reached the main gate, he was received by an Elder from the Violet Dew family. In any case, Maya can be polite to Sam, but with her status she is unlikely to come to the gate to accept it. It will change itself.
When Sam was taken to the dining room, there were already three people waiting for him. They are Maya, Jasmine and the Family Head of the Violet Dew family.
"Welcome Artisan Sam." Maya greeted him with a smile as she extended her hand to shake hands.
Sam shook his hand and said with the same polite smile. "Thank you for accepting me Lady Maya. But please call me Sam." Maya nods and they go to sit at the table.
Shortly thereafter, the dish was served. They chatted little while eating and when dinner was over and fruit juice was served, Maya spoke.
"Sam, today I call you, not only to clarify misunderstandings but also to make a deal." When Sam heard this, he couldn't say he didn't expect this. After all, just to clear up some misunderstandings, they did not have to go through all the trouble and invite him to dinner with all the hospitality.
"I wonder, how much do you know about the reception of the Marquis academy?" Maya asks without talking about the deal.
"Actually not much."
"Well, I'll tell you something then. The Marquis Academy will start a special branch within it. In this branch they would select all the Elite candidates from the Marquis and Elite cities of the various Districts. Where the Falcon Cliff City was also included and now the top ten of the tournament will also be placed within this branch." Maya began to explain.
"Oh, I really don't know about that. Thanks for the information. But what does that have to do with the deal you mentioned?" Sam asked
"Actually, Jasmine had also obtained a permit to enter this branch from the special quota of the Artisan tower of the Marquis city. But there's something that bothers me enough about branch rules." Speaking up until this moment, he stopped and looked at Sam's face which was filled with calmness and no trace of emotion. Then he continued.
“One of the rules of this particular branch is that students should not be in touch with the outside world under certain circumstances and there is also a rule that states that candidates should only exit the academy only if allowed and until then, they had to stay in the academy itself.
So, I have a problem sending Jasmine to a special branch." When Sam heard this, he was quite surprised. He looked at Jasmine with a scanning gaze. He was unable to find anything unusual about her. Maya then continued.
“Jasmine is a special child. Since childhood, he had no emotions. He will only interact with me and with anyone I tell him to interact. But the problem is I won't be able to communicate with him when he's in the academy. .
You know how this world is. All the noble children had some plans about him. If I leave it with them in the academy alone, they might take advantage of it which would cause trouble.
Although, my status is considered not bad in the Marquis city, the noble families are also not easy to give up. We at most have the same standing and within the academy they might even have a higher voice.
So, I had trouble leaving it there." Maya finishes explaining and Sam finally has a premonition of what will happen. Before she could speak, Maya continued her words.
"I want you to take care of Jasmine." When Sam heard this, he shook his head with a smile, this is what he predicted.
“Lady Maya, let me be frank with you. From what you said, Jasmine was like a child without emotional intelligence. If he comes with me, you have no idea how bad my influence is. I'm telling you directly, I'm not the type of person to live with a pure-hearted person.
Even if you can still let that be, from what you said, there are many noble children in the special branch who are staring at Jasmine and it is probably not just because of her true appearance, it probably had something to do with his talent, and had been approved by their noble families.
If I were to meddle among this mess, not only would I have to face the noble children, I would also have to become an enemy of all those families. Do you think I can handle it at my current level?"
Sam said as soon as Maya finished speaking.
When Maya heard this, she immediately fell silent. Jasmine just took a sip of her juice as if the entire topic wasn't about her at all. After a long silence and contemplation, Maya finally replied.
"Sam, then I'll continue the deal this way. You don't have to take care of him constantly. Every time, if someone approaches him or tries to be close to him, he will come to you and ask for advice, all you have to do is, to give him advice, to give him advice, whether he should talk to them or not. He will listen to whatever you say. You just need to involve yourself, if they get a heavy hand and try a strong method. Are you okay with that?"
This time it was Sam's turn to be silent. After a short pause, he asked. "Why are you asking me this?"
"Actually, I have no thoughts of asking you first, but you are the only suitable candidate for that. After all, you yourself are a talented person not only in art but also in other professions. You don't have much benefit for Jasmine's talent. Moreover, you seem to be a person who is not easily attracted to the beauty of meat. I'm just gonna make this decision."
"Okay, then what's your offer?"
Maya takes out a red jewel and puts it on the table. The red gem is small and only about the size of an adult's thumb nail. Sam took the jewel in his hand and examined it closely. The jewel was filled with fire element energy. But his energy was not in a form that could be directly absorbed like spirit stones.
Sam looked at Maya questioningly. The last one answered.
"This is a fiery pomegranate stone. It is mainly used by jewelers and craftsmen to apply on their products. It not only serves aesthetic purposes, but can also be used as emergency spiritual energy from the user.
As you can see, the energy in the ruby cannot be used for cultivation, but the energy can be used to increase attack or defense. The wearer can use the energy directly without absorbing it. I'll give you 50,000 of these"
When Sam heard the explanation, he was surprised, but when he heard the number, he was immediately dumbfounded. The number is too high. But the problem was that Sam did not need this ruby stone in battle, because, he could use the spiritual energy around him to increase his attacks, but he had some ideas on how to use it for business purposes, he said, if he could use it properly, perhaps he could make a small fortune.
"Agreed." He immediately agreed.
Maya beamed with a satisfied smile. Jasmine did not show any expression.
"In this ring there are ten thousand rubies, the rest I will pay in installments." Sam did not have much objection and agreed. After confirming the transaction, Sam left the residence of Violet Dew and walked back to the mansion. But upon entering the secluded area around the mansion, Sam sensed something was amiss.
