Chapter 91: Night and Day
Aijin also noticed that Luge's appetite was poor, but faced with her and Dasha's concern, Luge merely smiled and shook his head.
During this period he realized several things; while realizing the vastness of the Ground, all his experiences also replayed in his mind, and when he came back to his senses he discovered that seemingly everything was making him realize his own insignificance over and over again.
He fiercely stuffed food into his mouth.
Aijin and Dasha sitting opposite also seemed very satisfied with this meal; the standard of a top-tier Noble in the City providing for Family Knights goes without saying, and Luge ordered five portions — he ate one himself and gave the other four to Aijin and Dasha.
At this time, even if Lorigo returned to the Manor, he would not come to disturb him.
After finishing his meal, he had Aijin and Dasha stay on the first floor, where they could watch stars they had never seen before by the Window, while he planned to return to the second-floor bedroom to begin exhaustive Meditation; simply restraining his Meditation was really not satisfying enough, so he lay on the bed and also Summoned Out his Companion Magic Pet that was sleeping soundly, letting it lie by the bed to guard.
Starting from mastering new Runes, he consumed his Spiritual Power over and over, letting it become fuel for Rune Construction.
No matter how insignificant, he must strive forward; he planned to eat and drink well here first, striving to become a Fourth-Rank Wizard Apprentice as soon as possible. As for finding time to contact the Extraordinary circle, he was not eyeing the one in Fanxing City which might be more complex, mixed with a Large Amount of mundane faction disputes; what he wanted was to enter the World belonging to Wizards. Such great Wizards would certainly have many territories of their own, and that would definitely be a more vast Territory.
Of Course, the current life of enjoyment he would not let go of either; the opportunity is truly rare, and afterwards there probably won't be another. He had a premonition that when he truly stepped into the Wizard's World, there might no longer be such leisurely time. For this, he didn't mind helping Young Master Lorigo handle some small Troubles, counting it as meal money, and moreover this guy currently looked quite pleasing to the eye.
The exhaustive Meditation cultivation ended, he began to recover Spiritual Power, then seeing the Time Early, he took a short rest again.
When he opened his eyes again, outside the Window it was already broad daylight.
Walking slowly to the first floor, he saw the two Kobolds who had kept watch all night without sleep staring at the outside of the Window with faces full of novelty; the so-called Day And Night were both things they had never seen before. When they read those Wandering Knight Adventure Novels they would always find chances to ask him some strange questions, and only then would he realize which things they had no concept of, which were completely impossible to Imagine.
"Come, come to the Yard to look." Luge smiled and walked out.
The two big guys squeezed by the Window, sticking to the Window like children, truly somewhat funny.
After the two Kobolds came out they both stared unblinkingly at the Dome, after a while looking around at the surroundings and into the distance; the world under broad daylight was a completely different perception from before, night and darkness were likewise different — in their former World there was only darkness and a pair of eyes that could barely see in the dark.
Sending the two Kobolds back to the Abyss Bedroom Space to rest.
He called for Maid Daisy.
"Please invite Miss Motel, just say I have some matters to consult." He said Politely.
Maid Daisy heard this, bowed and left quickly.
Luge was actually very Curious what kind of Identity this red-haired woman had beside Young Master Lorigo, or rather in this Manor.
"Good morning, Ruge Adult."
The Meticulous red-haired woman did not make him wait too long.
"Lorigo hasn't returned yet?" he said.
"The Young Master sometimes also stays overnight in the Castle," the red-haired woman said, "If you have any needs, you can tell me."
"I want to make contact with the Extraordinary circle in Fanxing City, don't know if you can act as a Guide to let me go broaden my horizons."
After Luge finished speaking, he looked at the red-haired woman with eyes full of Expectation.
"Of Course I can, being able to guide an Adult is my Honor; I know there is a gathering in Three Days, it counts as the highest-level assembly I can access, the attendees are basically all Spellcasters," she hesitated here, then continued, "Actually for this Rank of gathering, out of concern for safety I have never attended; after leaving the ranks of treasure hunters, my adventurous spirit seems to have dissipated as well."
Motel looked at him somewhat embarrassedly.
"But after witnessing Adult's formidable strength, I did have the thought of wanting to follow you to broaden my horizons; all along the way I was thinking about how to bring it up to you." She said Honestly.
"Good, then Three Days later."
Luge Directly finalized the matter.
The two chatted some more about Lorigo and the Fanxing Family, basically all things known to people living in This City; cross-the-line matters he couldn't be bothered to ask, and the red-haired woman wouldn't necessarily tell him either.
The Baron Adult has six children, four sons and two daughters; the eldest daughter married early into a neighboring Ground Cave Domain, also the controller family of the Ground City there. Among the four sons, the eldest has been bedridden with illness for years, Lorigo ranks second, below him are two slightly younger brothers. As for the youngest daughter, she is a fortunate one who passed the Wizard Aptitude test at a very young age and hasn't returned here for many years. Even the red-haired Motel has never seen this Noble Young Lady.
As for the Baron Adult's illegitimate children, that's harder to count; those who can openly gain some benefits in the Family, i. e. useful people, number over twenty. For example those with certain talent who can cultivate the Knight Breathing Technique, or the relatively intelligent or handsome/beautiful, all count as having certain value and receive Fanxing Family cultivation.
After Luge finished breakfast, he called Maid Daisy to bring a Recliner.
He began to bathe in this False Sunlight in front of the Door; he lay basking for a while and it really had several points of charm, recovering a Little of the feeling from Memory.
Couldn't help but make him click his tongue in wonder.
Presumably everything about this Light Source is something no one in the Fanxing Family except the controller can touch; other Ground Cities should be the same.
Luge recalled the Fanxing Family's youngest daughter, his heart burning hot.
The Other Party was a qualified candidate taken away by a Wizard in childhood, already twenty-plus years without returning. Luge's several previous judgments of Lorigo's age were all wrong; this guy only occasionally revealed a youthful demeanor. Nobles with strength in the Ground City all drink Potions that delay aging, so Lorigo's actual age is even a bit older. Of Course the Potions they drink certainly aren't as good as Kalu's.
While cultivating step by step Silently, feeling himself approach Fourth-Rank Wizard Apprentice One Step at a time, he calmly awaited the gathering Three Days later.
Interestingly, Lorigo never returned.
