Chapter 1134 Choices
"I will be off training for a while."
Emery told the little creatures of what he intended to do. This time, instead of forcing them to follow his demands, he asked what they wanted to do.
He would need to train at the Light Institute. For that reason, if they would follow him, they would only be able to stay in the Spatial Space, except probably for Twik.
"Ku… ku…"
"Yes, Twik, I am hoping the magus over there would teach us more about the Light element. Learning it will be beneficial for the two of us, what do you think? I hope you are willing to come, but if you prefer to stay here with the others, that's alright too."
Twik nodded his head, accepting the offer to follow without hesitation.
As for the others, Emery was hoping they would stay and look after the younger ones while he left. On the other hand, he believed that they were all mature enough to be left strolling around the floating island. Hearing the freedom Emery gave to them, the five brother were very excited.
"Ku.. ku ku!!"
This marked the first time Emery gave them all a choice, and to his surprise, the five brothers decided to discuss it amidst themselves. After an intense debate, they decided to vote out Chiku and Chiko to follow and help Emery.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe matter has been decided, and now, Emery turned to look at the girl who had been standing behind him. Seeing that he finally turned his attention to her, she frowned a bit at him and said in a self-mocking tone.
"You gave them choices, yet you won't do the same for me… It's… really unfair."
Emery awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and all he could think of doing at the moment was to apologize to the girl again.
Only a few hours have passed since they were reunited, and yet, Emery has already decided to leave her again.
Of course, Klea understood what Emery needed to do, and she would not intentionally make it hard for Emery. However, her disappointment was still clearly visible on her face. It was clear she was not content with his decision.
"I am sorry, Klea… We will have all the time we want later, when we return to Earth."
She took a moment to listen, then she nodded. Fortunately, his words were able to give the girl a measure of reassurance.
"Well then, let us make the most of this one day then."
As he had planned, before Emery went to the Light institute, he had one more place to go. The group then went off the Hyperion planet together with Magus Shena, and they landed in the familiar Golden City.
They were there to answer the notification Emery received before, the one sent from the renowned blacksmith workshop. A giddy feeling welled up inside him as he recalled the message.
[Your sword has been repaired]
Emery could actually just ask the sword to be delivered, as such service was provided. The reason he personally came to fetch it was because he decided to use this opportunity to know a little more about the so-called blacksmith workshop.
Klea took the opportunity to grab Emery's arm as they strolled through the Golden City's industrial sector. Along the way, many people came and went to the area, most of them carrying something they had purchased. While they were together, Klea and Emery took the time to talk about what happened in the last 6 weeks, while they were separated.
"Huh! That Zach and his master! They really deserve each other!" Klea quickly cursed as soon as she heard what happened on the Hyperion core.
Klea then shared her progress in the four elements, and then the news of Julian's shocking return.
"Julian actually asked us to check a renowned beautiful planet with a beast market, he thinks it'll be a great idea for us to have a high-tier beast to bring home. They will be considered pets, so the academy would allow it."
"That sounds great."
Emery nodded his head at the suggestion, but he didn't share Klea's enthusiasm, as he already had his hands full with his own summon and his plant creatures.
"So what do you think? …Should I get one for myself?"
"If you want one… sure"
Emery answered quickly, and Klea pounced on the chance. She added with a wicked smile, "So, you are okay if I go to this beast market?"
"Yes"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"With Julian…?"
"Sure"
Emery answered without hesitation once more, which made Klea frown at him. Emery didn't realize this reaction of hers, while Klea sulked at his response. As a result, they stopped talking until they finally reached the blacksmithing area of the sector.
"Ah, I remember, we've been here before!"
Klea was practically beaming with excitement. They could still remember how excited they were when they were receiving their first tier 1 and tier 2 weapons, like all of that just happened yesterday..
The figures of dwarves ran back and forth in the workshop, each carrying weapons and tools.
However, they didn't head into one of the numerous workshops across the street, but instead, entered a huge building made of metal. From outside, it was clear there were a few floors to it.
As they entered the building and walked across the lobby, Emery saw groups of display glass with samples of the hardest and rarest metals in the universe. Some of the metals shone like rainbows, another looked like they were able to shift in appearance depending on where he looked, and some looked like they were made of colored light and emitted a powerful aura.
Then, he waited for a while, until the receptionist on duty took him to a room. After waiting for another few minutes, a man who was introduced as the weapon expert brought his pitch black sword back for him.
The sword was broken when he had last seen it, but now, Emery gave the sword a thorough inspection. When he discovered that there was no trace of the cracks, he sighed in relief as a smile crept onto his face.
He then grabbed the sword and gave it a test swing. He nodded, satisfied with the result, and the man asked him to pay for the service.
[125,000 spirit stones]
"Wow, that is pretty steep," Klea commented as she looked at the notification, especially considering that the price was already under the discount given to the privileged class acolyte.
Before Emery could pay for the sword, Klea stopped him and asked the so-called weapon expert.
"We would like to know about your weapon tempering and enchanting services"
