Chapter 197: Reward
197 Reward
He can ask the Sect Master for his current predicament. Since he was still confused about his reward. Just let this Spiritual Stones as his reward. But he was thinking about how to give his intention to him. The only possible answer he came up with was Charya. He was confused about how to ask Charya, after all, she was up on the top of the mountain. Ultimately, he visited Song Yu.
He went to the crystal room. He looked at the four crystals. Since the blue crystal was his house bell, he often went here to deactivate it. After all, he got many visitors. Alex then went to the green crystal in the middle. This was for Song Yu's house. He activated it, and the crystal started glowing. After that, he went out of the room and to his surprise, just before he closed the door. The green crystal suddenly dimmed down.
Song Yu had received his intention, and he can visit her anytime soon. Then with that, Alex prepared himself to go out. Anna was writing something. Alex came to her and asked what she wrote.
"This is Leoz's report. We finally got a full report from him. The report is about the power inside Thiveapia Kingdom. Their royal family and seven prominent families. I will write all of them first, so Young Master can read it" Anna said
"I see. I will leave it to you then. And give my thanks to Leoz."
"Yes, Young Master." Anna looked at Alex and noticed that he changed his clothes to nicer clothes, "Young Master, are you going out?"
"Yeah, I need to visit Senior Sister Song Yu. Sherry ate too much. And most of my Spiritual Stones were swallowed by her. That's why I need to visit Senior Sister first. If I can't get Spirit Stones in this way. We would take a mission again and raise the money with the previous one." Alex said.
Anna's eyes brightened. "Well, I personally don't mind about taking another mission. That means I can date Young Master. But this newlywed life was nice too."
"Ahaha" Alex let out a wry smile. After these six months, Anna became bolder and bolder. Well, it can't be helped. In these few months, she was the one who took care of him. She didn't have anything to do since Leoz was the one who helped her to level up. That's why she had time to take care of Alex and the house like a wife. She also fought Alex a few times to keep her fighting skills sharp.
"That's right, how about Sherry's progress?" Alex asked, trying to change the topic.
"She is currently at 7-Star Master Stage, She would reach Grandmaster Stage before the Outer Disciple Ranking Tournament start. Judging from the previous situation, she would need to sleep after that. And it would be longer than the previous stage" Anna said.
Alex pondered something, "I will try to go to the battle tower after I finished the promised mission with Senior Sister Putri. Tell her about it."
"Understood. Though I think she won't be too happy about it. After all, compared to here. She would need to fight before receiving the reward. Young Master, you have been spoiling her too much. In here, she didn't need to do anything and just eating those Spiritual Energy this whole time. I'm afraid she will become too lazy."
"Ahaha, Don't mind about it. I will push her if needed. Maybe, by the time I reached 7-Star, she would be in 9-Star. At that time, I don't know if you can bypass the system in battle tower and help me. That's why, having her in that tower will help me later. I'm planning to get the first rank the next time I go there...probably. The Sect Master went through much trouble just to raise the pressure on me. But yeah, I think it's time to set up some prestige, so no stranger will try to bully me."
"I can help you in the battle tower...no I will definitely help you" Anna said desperately.
"I know." Said Alex while smiling. Then he said, "Alright. It's time for me to go."
Anna nodded. She saw him off at the front gate.
Alex didn't need too much time to reach Song Yu's house since he only needs to pass through Putri's house. He saw Song Yu on the field, practicing her Sword Art. Noticing Alex in the air, she stopped. She looked at Alex and said, "Come in."
Alex followed her to the inside. He had gotten used to her house since he had stayed over in this house for a week. Song Yu prepared tea for him. "Is there anything you want to ask about your Sword Arts...maybe not. Since your understanding must be higher than mine. Then is there anything bothering you?"
"I just wanted to ask something from Elder Charya, but I don't know how to contact her" Alex said embarrassedly.
Song Yu suddenly sweatdropped. She remembered the token her master gave her back then. Because of Alex's shocking Blackwade VIP card, she had forgotten about the token. She immediately took out a token from her space ring and gave it to Alex.
Alex saw the token, it was a wooden token. There was '9' character on it. It must mean 'Ninth Elder'. He looked at Song Yu, he didn't know why she gave this token to him.
"This is Master's token. Its function was the same as the crystal in our house, After notifying Master with this, she would come down from her house. It also for your protection, you would be under the protection of the Ninth Elder of Heavenly Sword Sect." Said Song Yu in an apologetic tone.
Alex was surprised there was such a convenient thing. But there was something wrong in his Senior Sister tone, so he looked at her confusedly.
"Actually, Master had asked me to give this token to you after your fight with her six months ago. Your Blackwade VIP card gave me a shock, and I forgot about it this whole time. Sorry...Tee-hee" Song Yu said.
Alex was astounded. That 'Teehee' was also in this world. He didn't know that. But Song Yu didn't stick out her tongue or knocked her head. She only said the catchphrase. Maybe she didn't know the motion?
"Senior Sister...what is that 'Tee-hee'?" Alex asked her without expression.
Song Yu was embarrassed. "Emm, it was just..."
She didn't know how to explain it. Alex then continued, "Try to do it again, but this time, stick your tongue out and punch your head lightly."
She didn't understand why Alex said that. She followed his request since she thought it was her fault to let something like this happen. She stuck her tongue out and punched her head lightly with her right hand, then she said, "Teehee"
She suddenly got astonished, it suddenly came toward her naturally. Alex, who saw that thought she was adorable at that moment. With her blonde hair loose on her back, big blue eyes and small nose and finally her cheerful personality. It was coming to him so naturally and made her looked very adorable at that moment. Alex nodded in approval for that. He just made another masterpiece beside samurai in this world.
Alex then imagined the scene of his other Senior Sister, Putri. What would she like if she did that? After all, she was a very elegant and beautiful Senior Sister. If that person acted cute like the Senior Sister in front of him. What kind of expression she would have...no, no picture came to his mind. It must be beyond his imagination.
Song Yu was confused by Alex's action. He suddenly nodded his head after she acted according to his instruction. But he suddenly closed his eyes and shook his head a few moments later. She can't help but ask, "Alex, what are you thinking?"
Alex snapped from his thought. He was flustered, "Nothing. Anyway, Senior Sister. I can just use this token, right?"
"Yeah. Try to inject your Spiritual Energy."
Alex nodded, he injected his Spiritual Energy to the token. The Token glowed like the crystal. Not long after, the light dimmed down and finally vanished.
Song Yu saw all that. She suggested, "Master has noticed you, she will come down a few moments later. How about waiting for her here?"
Alex agreed to her suggestion. And like she said, Charya's voice reverberated in his ears.
"Oh, It was the token from Alex. Come here" Charya said with a loud voice. She was always like this every time her disciple called her.
"Alright. Senior Sister, I'm going. Thank you for the tea, it was good as usual." Alex drank the whole tea before he went out.
"Sure. Come again if you need anything" Song Yu said while waving her hands at him. She then cleaned up. And on her way, she looked at the mirror curiously. She stood there a few seconds, before she punched her head lightly and stuck out her tongue, "Teehee."
'Cute' She was bewildered by herself. What a powerful attack from herself. It was very adorable. She never thought just by adding action like this can improve the cuteness to several levels. At first, she made this 'Teehee' phrase when she got told off because of her childish personality. She often made a mistake in her childhood, and she used this technique to escape the punishment. Her father always let her go after she said this line. But now it was improved by Alex. She was wondering what Alex's identity was. Maybe she can ask him for something like this 'teehee' to him for advice.
Alex went to Charya, he met her inside the previous hall where he met her the first time. Charya, as usual, wore loose clothing, tied her hair into a ponytail, and raised one of her feet while sitting on the floor. After Alex came in, She finally asked him first. "Do you have any problem? Have you done consolidating your foundation?"
"Yeah, I have consolidated my foundation." Alex nodded, then he continued, "I come here to ask for Elder Charya's help."
"Oh, you want my help? Sure, And don't ask me with that polite tone, it sounds a bit distant. Just ask me casually. What do you need? Hmm, let me guess, You don't have enough resources?." Charya said.
"Yes" Alex said embarrassedly. "Actually, I was planning to ask it from the Sect Master, But I don't know how to contact him."
"So, you went to me" Charya said.
Alex nodded. Charya grinned, "Well, I remembered it now. That old man said he owed you a reward for that Seven Stars Cut. Alright, I'm in. That old man is pretty rich, you know. I will try to ask him as much as possible."
Alex was surprised Charya suddenly agreed to his request, and it seemed she was very eager to do it. "Thank you, Elder Charya."
"Don't mind about it. Just wait for my good news tomorrow" Charya said. "You can go no if that's all. Just don't forget about the mission. Putri said you two would go in three months later."
Alex nodded. Charya then continued, "Well, I will try to search the mission at that time. Make sure you reach 7-Star Martial Master Stage first. I'm planning to have you go for a Grandmaster's mission, after all. Judging from your abilities, you should be able to fight a Grandmaster if you reached 7-Star Martial Master Stage. Putri will also go with you to protect if something goes wrong."
Alex nodded. After he thanked her once more, he left. Alex then came back to his house. Anna gave him the statistic of Thiveapia Kingdom. Alex read the report.
The capital city was called Elyheas City. Just like Thiveapia, it was hard to pronounce name. There were seven prominent families inside the capital city of Thiveapia Kingdom. Siqal, Gisbis, Eeste, Zemjun, Hizes, Degil, and Darqas. Each family had around thirteen to sixteen Martial Lord, ranging from 1-Star Martial Lord to 6-Star Martial Lord with their family leader was a 7-Star Martial Lord, except the Darqas family who had an 8-Star Martial Lord. They had more than a hundred of Grandmaster Stage Martial Artists and almost a thousand of Martial Masters.
As for the royal family, They had a 9-Star Martial Lord to oversee the kingdom. But the royal family background was deep, so Leoz note there was a possibility of them, had a 10-Star Martial Lord to protect the kingdom. They had a few thousand Martial Master as their soldiers and a few ten thousand normal soldiers in the foundation stage.
Alex saw something which piqued his interest greatly in the report.
