CHP16 Blessed by the Elders

After the exhilarating underground auction, Sargon, Reeve, and George made their way to the top-building part of the Rose-Pavilion. George led them to a small somewhat secluded high-class part on the third floor, where he purchased a beautiful small ring for Reeve.

"This ring can help the young lady to stabilize the chaotic nature of Spirit Force. But even with this you still have to be careful as the matters of spirit are not easily determined and fixed due to it's very nature.", George warned and then congratulated her for the first time, "May you Prosper in your Path. May the Path flow through you, young cultivator."

"Thank you High-Senator for the present that you have bestowed the humble me. I will keep your advice on mind.", rejoiced Reeve as she returned the salutations," May the path Flow through that."

Such a lovely belle. I wonder why this brat always bullies her. George for a second was lost in in his own thought.

"High-Senator, what about me ???", asked Sargon in playful manner as if George isn't his Granddad.

"Haha. Cheeky brat. Didn't I said I had a surprise prepared for you. Plus I can't sent you empty handed to your parents can I ? I have my own face to maintain. Now go look around this room and choose anything you want. You have me here alive and breathing.", exclaimed George in huffed manner.

I can totally suck the money out of George. But I still can't take too valuable of a thing less karma between us be too heavy and less my parents may be disheartened. Also, I can't just by anything cheap else I am too dumb or am a saint. Both of which I am not. So, let's search carefully.

After searching for few moments for the time it takes for an incense if stick to finish, Sargon thought "Waaait a moment! " in a meme fashion, "Isn't this one of the library or rock-gambling part of novels where the truly precious objects are usually collecting dust. Then what the hell am I even doing. Just in case I find something worthwhile….Hehee"

Sargon's sight fell upon one corner of the room. Where there were many artifacts, but what made this corner different was an egg the size of an ostrich egg lying there.

He went to ask the young beautiful dark elf waistress. He gulped for few times before he asked his questions." Maam, what is that egg hanging off there doing? Can you give its detail."

"AraAra!! sweet young man. That is not a normal egg. In fact, it is too special of an egg. It is a result of a mixture of the Mythcal Thorondor Eagle and Skymaster Raven. But it is too much of a drag and is costly. So it is collecting dust unfortunately", sighed the elf waitress assigned to this third floor.

Even her sighing is so beautiful.Uff….

"Ahem!", George faked a cough for the second time as he thought," young man aren't you growing real too fast . Hmph, but you at least got good taste."

"How much for this then?"

"it's nothing much just 100 Gold coins. But since the High-Senator is a regular customer we can give you a discount upto 10..no 15 golds.", replied the Dark elf in a seductive manner.

"Hmph! Who are you trying to fool young lady. Looks like since it's been a while I have profited of the market people take me for a fool.", came a reply in irritated manner.

"We are sorry if you feel offended but Senator this is the reasonable price. It's just as a High-Senator you know how mighty of a status is a Thorondor Eagle, the Eagle of the Victory, the Realm travelling Seal breaking bird, favored by Leader of Archangel, the Trigram of Heaven, SeraTian."

"Even if one buys it. What is the usage of this. It is an animal too hard to tame, it has got Skymaster Raven's Blood in it. One of the hardest to tame. Those expert in Beast taming from the west of the continent are too far and busy to even come to the republic….."

"As for the talented Darviks they are reluctant to tame anything but their damn Banshees....", ranted George continuously for few minutes mainly about those Darviks reluctance to tame anything other.

Sargon and Reeve were getting a little nervous now.

"Well it seems I am getting old. Back to topic. The Last price I can give this is 70 Golds. I am generous today cause of my Gradson. Lest it would have been collecting the dust and be an exotic museum piece.", insisted George.

Suddennly the Dark Elf seemed to have been transmitted some thoughts as she soon accepted the offer.

"Congratulations brat! Don't worry they are just like this on this floor only , rest of the floor the price is fixed. It isn't called Floor of Heckling for no reason, I tell you that.I had you guys for there didn't I ?? Haha. Waitress give him the egg", joked George.

"haha."

"haha", came the replies.

Such a Dad Joke, thought Sargon.

His thought soon changed however as soon as he got the egg.

Sargon was particularly interested in this creature, as he had a fascination with rare and exotic animals. He held the egg carefully in his hands, admiring the intricate patterns on its surface.

Reeve, on the other hand, was more interested in the small ring that George had purchased for him. It was a simple design, but its properties were valuable - it could stabilize the spirit force and prevent the wearer from experiencing spiritual backlash.

"Happy Shopping. Hope the Senator and his little friend visit us once again.", The waitress bowed and showed hospitality.

Soon they exited the shop, George turned to Sargon and Reeve and asked, "So, what path do you plan to take in the future? Young Lady first."

Reeve answered without hesitation, "I want to become a famous wizard in healing. I want to help people who are suffering from injuries and illnesses."

"Tcht! what a Cliché answer.", Sargon smiled and said, "I plan to pursue alchemy. It's a fascinating field, and I believe I have a talent for it."

George raised an eyebrow. "Alchemy? That's an unusual choice."

"Yes, but I believe it's a path that will bring me great success.", Sargon nodded and replied as he was thinking of pile of golds that he will swim upon. Eyes full of Greed.

George grinned. "Well, if you're serious about it, I can help you get a foot in the door. I have some connections in the Violet Valley, a sort of sect of alchemists that even few people outside the Republic know about. With my ties, I can probably get you a backdoor entry. But you still have to pass a basic entry test. Your dual natured attribute wont stand in your way, since you got me."

Sargon's eyes widened in surprise. "The Violet Valley? That's incredible. I was also thinking about that organization of the orthodox path. Thank you, Grandpa. I'll definitely take you up on that offer."

"Although you have Fire and Wood proficiency. It is negated by the fact that you got Lightning and Dark set as dual nature , which make things harder in the journey of Cultivation. That is why People and Organization generally prefer and don't hesitate to pay any price to hire a Single Elementalist."

"But they are far rare in number, so dual elementalist are also taken in as normal disciple or member. But The central Faction of Violet Valley also have Lightning practice. So even without me intervening seven out of ten times you would have been accepted."

"I am surprised you researched this deep. Perhaps you had certain inclination for the elements you are more proficient in or perhaps your father broke the taboo to inform you beforehand. Nonetheless I am proud of you."

As they exited the Rose-Pavilion, George transformed into his flying form, allowing them to soar over the bustling city below. Sargon asked to be dropped off near Reeve's home, and George obliged.

As they landed, Sargon turned to George and said, "Thank you for everything, Grandpa. You've been a great help to me today. It was fun today. I will cherish every moment"

George chuckled. "No problem, Sargon. It's always a pleasure to help out kin, even if they are banished from the family line. Listen to the Story form your father side."

Reeve added, "Yes, thank you for the ring, High-Senator. It's going to be very useful in my studies."

George grinned. "Glad to hear it. And remember, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

With that, George took off into the sky, leaving Sargon and Reeve standing outside Reeve's home.

They waved goodbye to the sky.

"Such a Wild day today. How are you feeling today ?",asked Sargon.

"It was incredible. Plus I got a gift for free. Now just wait for few month and I will make you acknowledge myself as Big Sis. Hmph!! Who asked you to make all that talk about brother and sister. Now watch as Karma bites you back in the ass."

"Ohoo. Pretty energetic are we. I am too tired talk about this nonsense. Damn this egg do be Heavy. Remember your words when I smack you in the ass with these very palms. Let the Karmic Spanking continue then. Hahah", suddenly Sargon got the energy as he was talking about it.

"Now enough of your dreams. Let's enter shall we."

"Ofcourse it has been a while since I have met sister Helena."

They both then entered the house of Reeve Helena, ready to rest and reflect on the events of the day.
