"This is how you will get the true taste of Indian food, the cuisine that you are eating right now."
"It fees so vulgar. What kind of eating method is this?", Amelia asked, disgusted with the way Liu Feng was eating.
"Vulgar? Hands are gifts given to us. They were given for a purpose, and I am using them to the fullest. What is wrong with that? Now then, I need to eat. I am starving and I don't want to stop because of a close minded girl.", he retorted.
After eating, they went back to the mansion, to rest. Liu Feng headed towards the master's bedroom. Because it was in the second floor, Amelia was with him till she reached her own door. Seeing him enter the room with the biggest and most majestic doorway, Amelia understood that Liu Feng had the master bedroom, an honor reserved for the master of the house.
"You have the master's bedroom? What will the people of your precious city think when they know that their dear young lord is in a higher position than the lord himself?"
"All the people who are even allowed to serve me are attendants who have been with me since I was a child in the capital. They are the only people who know that I sleep in the master bedroom. And, why should it even matter. My father gave me a barren land as my playground, I am the actual lord of this place. Everything that is even here, I have created on my own, from scratch."
"Yeah right. This place is gorgeous. You must have just asked your father for help, and he emptied his treasury to do this. I am going to sleep now."
Liu Feng sighed and went to his room. Amelia was led by a maid to the room she was assigned to. She went and took a bath, and then dressed. She lay on the bed, exhausted. She then thought, "The city was not bad. And the way that Liu Feng handled those slave traders was so cool! Wait, what are you thinking. How could you possibly like Liu Feng?". She was in conflict with herself. She wrestled back control and went to sleep.
The next morning,
Amelia had a great night's sleep, as the mattress she had was extra plush. It was as if she slept on a bed of feathers, a great improvement from the dorm mattresses. They went to the city Centre, and saw a lot of people in the city square. There were at least ten thousand people here alone.
"Where is the mage tower? You said that you would take me there?", Amelia asked with curiosity. The way that everyone talked about it. anyone would want to go there first. People of the city spoke of it with reverence, for some reason.
"Patience. It is the biggest tower in the vicinity. I made it for an acquaintance, because he helped me a lot in the past. Obviously, I skimped on absolutely nothing. You will see when you get there, the magnitude of my greatness", Liu Feng told her, laughing like a maniac as he did.
They went to the mage tower, where Liu Feng and Amelia saw a lot of kids cleaning and doing the work in the mage tower. Liu Feng told her, "These are the orphans that are taken in. They are given food, and shelter, and in turn, they work, study here. This is like the magic school of Dilheim, except that it is more private."
They went to the fourth floor. A class was happening at the time, so they took a back seat and listened.
"As you know children, if you take the mana from your body and release it with a spell, it will drain a lot of mana. But, if you ask the spirit to constrict the mana you use, it will, and the spell will decrease in scale. Oh look. Liu Feng is here. You all can disperse now."
Lucas came to Liu Feng in his ghost form. Amelia was shocked. She screamed with surprise. "Ghost!!!".
The moment she screamed, the same black robed man appeared and took out a dagger, pointing it at the ghost.
"Oh, so surprised? That is a shock. To think that we have elves with us today. The both of them are even contracted!."
"You are in your soul form. How? And how do you know how to contract spirits? It was a long lost art limited to the elves.", the shadow guard spoke.
"Oh right, you are an elf. They are a prideful race, thinking that the world revolves around them, but don't us all. Dear, I am from a-", he then looked at Liu Feng. Liu Feng nodded, and Lucas continued, "I am a soul from a past era, and back then, every race could contract spirits. For some reason, humans have lost this ability. I see that elves have not.." He then looked at Amelia's arm, and saw the tattoo of a kun peng, a majestic beast of chinese lore.
"I see that the Queen of Air has chosen you. It is indeed a great power, but huge responsibility comes with it.", he warned her.
"And you. Stop pointing that thing at me. You are only going to hurt yourself. Seeing that you have only a normal contract, and are just in the fourth order, I wonder with what confidence you are behaving like that in here.", he warned the shadow guard. The guard stepped back after a signal from Amelia.
"How do you know that I have the contract with Eurus? It is a secret, even within the Elvan kingdom."
"If you display your mark like that so openly, then what else do you think is going to happen? Any person with the remote knowledge about spirits would be able to discern between marks and would know what you are.", he told her.
Lucas then looked at Liu Feng, "The training is going excellently. By the way, there is a cause to celebrate! The kids you sent a few months ago, one of them got the spirit mark of The King Of Earth."
"He got the spirit mark of Terran? Wonderful. How many kids have awakened a mark?"
"Well, you only gave me a few months, and told me that the spirits have started to speak the common tongue, so I started sending them to the spirit realm last month."
