OiM - Chapter 6: Escort(III)

Thomas was looking at his son being diagnosed by the doctor, who was examining the arm in surprise.

"This is amazing, I don't know what art or miracle medicine was used, but as far as I can see, the muscles, blood vessels and bones have been almost perfectly reconnected!" - Said the impressed doctor after analyzing Fábio's arm.

"Will there be a sequel?" - Asked Fábio worried, he is the future Leader of the Snizer Clan, he can't be a cripple!

"I can't say, this is something new for me, but I believe that in 1 or 2 months, you will be able to move your arm without any problems, I believe that with a minimum of 80% of its capacity, as for complete recovery, I really don't know I mean, it could take months or even years, such a scale of healing is unbelievable to me!" - Said the doctor seriously.

"80% that's good, if you can reach Exalted Realm, having 90% capacity won't be a problem, it's even possible to have full recovery!" - Thomas said smiling relieved.

Fabio nodded, returning his arm to the support, he clenched it lightly.

"If I may ask, what medication was used?" - asked the doctor calmly.

Thomas looked at him, thought and finally said. - "It was a medicine that has been in my family for almost 100 years, all the leaders of my Clan carry it around in case of need, they say it can cure even someone at death's door, so I used it on my son."

The doctor nodded and asked no further questions.

…

"Father, do you think younger brother will be able to help me?" - Asked Fabio expectantly.

"I don't know… but I think so, he at that age can create something so miraculous, maybe if we help him, he can create an even more miraculous medicine!" - Thomas said, shuddering a little at the thought.

"I don't think it's a good idea." - Fábio said when he noticed his father's expression.

"Oh? Which?" - Thomas asked coming to himself.

"Sell what little brother creates, our Clan is not strong enough for that, at least not right now!" - Fabio said calmly.

"Ah… I see, let me get a little excited, well, we'll leave that for the future, for now let's finish the quest!

Fabio nodded.

...

The escort mission continued after 1 week of recovery, one of the soldiers who received the meat ball, already being able to return to combat if really necessary.

The corpses, on the other hand, were cremated and sent back to their families, as were letters of compensation to the relatives of the dead.

The convoy continued for another 2 weeks, until they reached their destination without further major conflicts.

…

"Baron Silvio, it is an honor to meet you!" - Thomas said bowing respectfully.

A man in his 70s, with a sharp gaze, nodded slightly as he studied Thomas, then said. - "It's also an honor to meet you, Patriarch Thomas, I hear you've had some setbacks!"

"Just a few small flies, nothing I couldn't handle!" - Said Thomas smiling confidently.

"Good, that's good! Come!" - Said Silvio Markim, taking them to his mansion.

…

In a hall, a small feast was being held, with Silvio accompanied by half a dozen people, they went to Thomas and a young woman at his side.

The young woman took a step forward, holding onto her dress, then bowing respectfully and gracefully.

"It is a great honor to meet you, my name is Tulipia Hilton, I come to bring you the requested item in my father's name!" - Said the 15 year old girl very calmly while smiling.

Silvio smiled, then waved for Tulipia to show the long-awaited item, many paying close attention.

Slowly Tulipia took a richly decorated box from her servant's hands, which she opened without much ceremony, soon a sharp and intense wave flooded the entire hall, attracting even more attention than it should have.

Silvio laughed happily and even with some desire as he looked at the item inside the box, nothing more than a piece of reddish metal.

"This..." - Thomas said shocked, he never expected to see such a thing in his life.

"Such Sword Will… what is it?" - Asked Fábio shocked and soon his eyes closed.

He wasn't the only one, but many other sword users closed their eyes on instinct, experiencing a kind of enlightenment.

Silvio came forward and closed the box, picking it up and saying. - "The money will be sent and… how about talking a little with my grandson?"

With those words, Silvio looked at a young man aged 17 to 18 and said. - "Arthur, come and accompany Miss Tulipia!"

"Yes grandfather!" - Said Arthur Markim advancing and smiling gently at Tulipia, who smiled graciously.

Thomas smiled awkwardly, he would never have expected his old friend to have such a treasure, truly worthy of being named a Hallow!

What is that piece of metal? It is a sword fragment, but not just any sword, but the Red Sky Sword, one of the many fragments that were scattered across the world in its destruction.

And the Red Sky Sword, once belonged to the Blood Sword God, a Martial Artist who reached the pinnacle of the world with just his sword techniques, is said to have defeated the Sun Temple Angel in a few blows.

It was said that there was no stronger mortal under the heavens at that time, anyone who proclaimed himself invincible under the heavens would receive a visit from this Bloodthirsty Sword God, who killed everyone he faced, the Sun Temple Angel was no exception.

But in the end he aged and succumbed to many wounds, but not before leaving a memory that will live forever in this world, his sword, Red Sky, is said to have been infused with all his understanding of the sword and the concept of cutting!

He also infused all his essence and is even said to have put his soul into the sword, which was then fragmented because it could not withstand such overwhelming power, spread across the world.

And the most famous story, is that whoever can gather all 10 fragments of the blade and its hilt, will have the strongest sword that even the heavens envy and fear, it is even said that the soul of the Blood Sword God is imprisoned in it and whoever possesses it the sword, will have control over such a powerful being.

And naturally it is genuine, as being just a small fragment, it made even Thomas, a Master from the Exalted Realm near the Unrestricted Realm, shudder.

Those in bottlenecks who wield the sword got an inspiration just from being exposed for a few seconds.

Thomas could see his son, his Internal Energy getting stronger and sharper, he was becoming an Exalted Realm Master just like him!

But Thomas didn't come out without gains, he had a tip to reach the Unrestricted Realm, he was glad, it really wasn't a waste.

As for why Galiam had this, he has no idea, but he understands that it was smart of him to part with this item, otherwise High Level Families or the Supreme Sects of the world would all come rushing to wipe out his family and take such treasure.

The best thing to do, in fact, was to hand it over to the Government, in addition to receiving a lot of reward and strong connections, you will get rid of a double-edged sword.

Not to mention that the Emperor has been putting the pieces of the Red Heaven Sword together for centuries, so the Markim Family will certainly gain a lot of points with the Emperor and the Silver Mountain Clan will naturally benefit equally.

Thomas started to think about marriage even more firmly, naturally thinking of Kai, he ended up thinking of his daughters, but thinking of Galiam's children…he felt some contempt.

Thomas loves his friend, he even treats him like a brother, but he is not willing to marry any of his beautiful daughters with his sons, since, like their father, all the sons of Galiam are very lusty and... fat!

He knows that none of his daughters would be happy married to one of Galiam's sons and he himself doesn't care about that fact, since he knows his friend well and rarely mentions the subject.

But his daughters, for some reason all of Galiam's daughters are beauties, which is why Galiam values his daughters so much.

...

Silvio Markim personally took the fragment of the Red Sky to his vault, the security in the mansion that was already rigid and heavy, more than doubled, he cannot risk being stolen.

And when he returned to the feast, it was almost instantaneous.

HAHAHAHAHA!

An immensely pleased and proud laugh rang out, a man around his 30s, who is quite handsome, was enveloped in a sharp powerful aura.

His hand was slightly extended, a bluish energy was condensed in his palm, forming a blade.

"Oh, congratulations Patriarch Thomas, you have an excellent son!" - Said Silvio smiling when he saw that.

Fabio has just advanced to the Exalted Realm and together, he acquired Sword Intent, which is a stage above Sword Aura, it can be said that it is the same, only more solidified and powerful.

But the important fact is that the Intent of the Sword, as well as the Intent of any other type of combat, is a more advanced state of mind, where the minimum requirement to acquire it is the Exalted Realm, but because it is the minimum, it does not means it's easy.

Take Thomas for example, only around the age of 45, even though he was already a Master of the Exalted Realm, he achieved his Sword Intent, in the end it is due to talent, luck and opportunities.

That is, Fábio at only 32 years old, has become a Master of the Exalted Realm who has the Intent of the Sword!

Now all that remains is to consolidate his base and cultivate for a few more years, he will be able to reach his father's feats of power with ease.

But the best was yet to come, as Fábio felt his arm better, in fact, his Internal Energy that underwent qualitative changes, which he still finds difficult to say, was somehow accelerating the healing of his arm.

…

"Thank you very much for your words Baron Silvio, as a father I am extremely proud!" - Said Thomas smiling happily, he gained a lot from this trip.

"Well, hopefully for now, keep quiet about what happened earlier." - Said Silvio smiling slightly.

"But of course, I have no reason to make things difficult for the Baron, or my brother!" - Thomas said more seriously.

"Good to hear that, please enjoy the feast and music!" - Said Silvio smiling.

…

The feast continued on a merry note, with Fabio having hung out with Thomas for a while, as Thomas wanted to test out some of his Sword Techniques, finding them to be much stronger and more accurate.

But he wasn't the only one, Thomas also practiced a little, noticing a noticeable improvement in his techniques as well and he felt what was holding him back getting weaker and weaker.

"Just a little more..." - Thomas said clenching his fists.

…...

The feast lasted for hours, until everyone was taken to their proper quarters, where they could rest.

Thomas came to find out that the item was sold for only 100,000 Gold Coins, for him that's a really big amount, but actually, for a Red Sky Fragment, it's the same as giving it to someone else as a gift.

It is noted that there was an auction about 80 years ago, where one of the fragments appeared, which is said to have been sold to the Emperor himself at the time.

And the price he paid was a Big City with over 300,000 inhabitants, 2 Million Gold and the Title of Duke!

This shows how much the Imperial Family desires the Red Sky.

As for the one who sold it, it was one of the Supreme Sects of the Black Faction, needless to say, it is one of the 10 Black Dragons.

…

Thomas sees that his bounty has increased by 8,000 Gold Pieces, he just has to get Tulipia and the money back safely.

Of course Thomas would already do that, but who is he to refuse money?

And needless to say, the trip back was smooth, as they already delivered the item and everything was done safely, as well as showing their power in being able to deal with some Masters.

Not to mention, the news quickly spread that the Snizer Clan Escort is being protected by 2 Exalted Realm Masters!

That's more than enough to make anyone take their minds off attacking them.

And so, after 3 weeks, since they decided on the shortest route this time, they arrived safely at Silver Mountain Clan.

Galiam was a little embarrassed that he had lied to his brother, but nothing much happened and he paid the 20,000 without a hitch.

Thomas stayed 2 more days in Galiam's house, before returning to his Clan.
