The floating island Samiel was on the 5th Floor of the Tower.
After Samiel found himself so nice place to spend his ti in, during his stay on the 5th Floor, he decided to get sothing to eat because he was already getting hungry and he was in the mood for so at.
When he thought about it, it was a very long ti since he had so good burgers, but those would be impossible to make here, as he lacked any other cooking kit, and with the current tools he had in his possession, he could maximally roast at above the fire.
Not to ntion he was lazy to do anything else, so he decided on the roasted at above the fire in the end, as that was the easiest and fastest solution with little to no effort.
But even that sounded very good.
A nice piece of beef seared slowly over the fire to dium rare, nicely roasted form the outside, while pink and juicy in the inside; such was the perfection of cooking at over the fire.
Nefertari remained sleeping at their dwelling, not really bothering with her hooman now that he had gone out and searched for the food as she was enjoying her nap. Samiel wondered how she could basically sleep over the majority of her life and... just nothing.
Cats were creatures that slept for most of the ti and often were very lazy; aside from grooming themselves and eating or occasionally hunting, they spent their ti napping or sleeping. Of course, Nefertari was no exception to this general almighty rule. Fortunately, Samiel didn't really spend a long ti hunting because it took him just a few minutes to find the nearest eatable magical beast.
It was Steel-Tier Great Boar; he killed it with one swift hit and then dragged the huge corpse of the Great Boar, back to his dwelling, which was a dead-end tunnel in so huge rock. The entrance was filled with wood, and Samiel created there a provisionary wooden wall from the trees he chopped down.
He dropped the corpse of the Steel-Tier Great Boar onto the ground before getting it directed. The first thing he did was to get rid of its fur, while normally, it would serve as a good blanket or sothing soft to lay on, but it was only a Steel-Tier.
The one Samiel was using was from so Gold-Tier wolf-type magical beast whose pellets and furs were far better than the one from so Steel-Tier Great Boar. After skinning the animal's corpse, he proceeded with the dissection by cleaving the at altogether and portioning it into portions, depending on which part they were.
As soon as Samiel finished the ssy work, he lit a fire which served not only as a ans of cooking the at but also as a ans of warming up the entire place where he was staying because even though it didn't actually look like it even a bit, the whole island was pretty cold. And Nefertari liked to be in warm, and while Samiel was technically immune to cold, he took, wouldn't say no to so nice warm fire.
Samiel, due to his Lord Class Knight of Niflheim, wasn't bothered a bit by the coldness of this place, but he already saw that Nefertari didn't like it very much, as she liked the comfort of being in so nice and warm place, which was sothing that Samiel also appreciated.
For this ti, he decided to go with roast venison, as he took a huge part of the venison at, one of the best cuts, and hunger it above the pyre so that it could be slowly roasted. He added nothing to the an, as he was going for the more simplistic approach, for the taste of the venison to be strongest.
'Hooman, when would the food be ready?'
Nefertari was already getting impatient because, for the past ten minutes, she had been sitting nicely before the pyre and looking at the roasting piece of venison without blinking even once, awaiting the food already. Not to ntion, she was constantly bugging him, and it was already becoming very annoying, especially repeating the sa sentence for the 10th ti in the past five minutes.
'Be a patient, yes?'
Samiel already said that sentence more than ten tis today. She was like a small child constantly asking for sothing, repeating the question constantly until the thing was already done, and could be incredibly annoying.
Suddenly as Samiel was about to start eating, he sensed soone near the place where he was resting. His ears perked up when he heard the footsteps; they were heavy and radiated power itself; he imdiately beca very wary of the situation because clearly, according to the preliminary scouting of the area done by the scout cat, it was evident that this place was devoid of anyone aside from him.
And traversing from one floating island to another floating island would require at least Supre Stage Legendary Level because of the things that lived in the depths of the ocean, as Nefertari senses so extrely powerful magical beasts circling in underneath the Floating Islands. Probably waiting for so unfortunate specins that would get careless and make a mistake during the crossing so that they could eat him.
'Knock, knock, knock.'
Three tis, soone had knocked on the door, and Samiel was unsure what to do and how to act in this situation. In the end, he opened the door, as the doors were not even a bit secured, so if the person who was knocking on the door wanted, he could easily get in, so he decided to open it and let the person inside.
When Samiel went there and opened the wooden doors, he saw a man standing before the entrance. He was old, looking in his seventies, wearing a very nice aristocratic-looking outfit with a sword strapped to his side.
His clothes were decorated were several dals and symbols, and his black boots shined in the moon's light, while his long cape fluttered in the strong winds, which were lifting up for this ti; from his entire being, Samiel got a very intimidating feeling of majesty and power.
"Dou you need sothing good, sir?"
Samiel questioned, imitating the British accent from Earth. The man just looked at him curiously before he gave him a soft nod. The elderly man had so sort of charm around it, which Samile would swear was so kind of Racial Ability or Magic that other people would subconsciously lower their guard around the elderly gentleman.
"Good evening, young man. May I enter?"
The man asked while Samiel was right now unsure what to say as he motioned the man to enter. He followed Samiel and then sat down around the fire as Samiel started portioning the roasted venison at. It was already cooked up to the perfection state, exactly like Samiel liked it and preferred his roasted at to be.
"Here you go, Hall Master."
He said, passing the pieces of the roasted venison from the Great Boar to the Hall Master nuhyutt Faulhaber. In truth, Samiel knew who the man was because he clearly saw the photos and portraits of him. Not to ntion that he suspected that he
"So you do indeed recognize ."
The elderly man, taking from Samiel the roasted venison from the Great Boar.
"Of course, I would... your photo is in the booklet that Cardinal Karliana gave , together with all of the Cardinals and so other High-Ranking public figures of the Hall of Kadath."
Samiel stated as he took a bite from the roasted Great Boar while Nefertari was already eating her full. She was eating with the speed of thunder, like a gluttonous cat she was, already having her second portion of food.
"Good, then you could probably guess why I have co to et you."
Said the nuhyutt as he kept eating while Samiel eyed him from ti to ti. He had so hunch about why he ca here, but even then, it was a big thing for soone so illustrious across the entire Tower and even the whole Cosmos to co here just to teach him.
"Partially, at least."
The fire cracked; that was the sight of wood being very dry and burning nicely, as Samiel was enjoying the at he cooked for dinner, Nefertari right now looked like a small ball already, and even the Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath seed to be enjoying the food.
"I have co to teach you, not from the title of your position as the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath, but because of your own abilities and potential. You would beco inheritors completely and obtain everything that I know."
The old man said after a while, to which, Samiel almost dropped everything he held, as this was sothing big. In a certain sense, this was even better than getting into the position of Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath.
Being accepted as inheritor of such a powerhouse as nuhyutt Faulhaber, who was hailed the strongest expert under the Transcendent Level, and was rumored to have combat prowess in breaking the Dinsional Boundary of Mortals and Transcendents, was sothing that was exceedingly valuable.
Certainly, that was not officially confird by anyone credible enough for it to be deed as truth, but even having such rumors around him was enough for most to shit their pants.
"I am very close to achieving the Transcendence, but due to so reasons, I have been pushing it back for millennia already, and not even once has there been a suitable person who could inherit my legacy and then face the greatest obstacle... finding a successor for the position of Hall Master."
nuhyutt noted as Samiel's eyes sharpened, looking at the old man who returned back to eating.
"Don't look at like a gawking fish... the rules for the succession for the position of the Hall Master are too strict, and rarely soone with the bearings of the Holy Son appears. The previous Hall Master waited for the entire Epoch before I joined the Hall and beca the Hall Master."
He stated, and at the sa ti, the wheels in Samiel's head started working at the maximum speed before he ca to the next question he wanted to ask.
"What happened to him?"
The Hall of Kadath was one of the oldest factions of all factions in the Cosmos; only a very few factions had such a long history as the Hall itself, while most of the factions typically perished with ti or crumbled with their Transcendent backer was killed.
"He ascended to Transcendence a few deceased after I took over. Right now, he should be sowhere in the Void or probably in so Higher Dinsional World or in the Immortal Realm; he always wished to return back ho."
Samiel could sense so sort of lancholy when he heard nuhyutt talking about the previous Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath, especially when he was ntioning the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm, while not the strongest of the Higher Dinsional Worlds, was one of the largest, as the Immortal Path to the Transcendence was one of the easiest to achieve from what Samiel knew.
"Now for the important things, and the reason why I ca here... as the bearer of the blood of the Primordial Demiurge and Dual Class Bearer, I ca here to teach you how to control your strength from the first properly... Karliana told that you have a very hard ti controlling your own power appropriately; that is sothing that needed to be fixed in order to achieve perfection."
Samiel just nodded because this was indeed the truth. While he subsud it after training for a few years, he still had problems so ti adjusting his own power, or rather his control over his power wasn't the best one.
Because of the overwhelmingly powerful Mana he had, as part of his racial heritage, Samiel also needed to put a lot of effort into casting spells not to overload them with too much Mana.
Using the number, for example, if for a normal caster the cost of 1st Level Spell is 1 Unit, then if Samiel used the sa, he would overload the spell matrix ten tis over. He needed to use just around 1/25th of the Unit to cast the 1st Level Spell due to the purity and density of his Mana for the sa 1st Level Spell.
"When I was young, I had exactly the sa problem you are right now facing."
The Hall Master said shortly after, as Samuel looked at him, surprised.
"I, too, am an Old Deus with a very powerful lineage, so in my younger years, I was very terrible at the aspect of controlling my own power, and when it ca to Magic, I needed to put ten tis more effort than others to cast the spells and not overload them correctly. And my combat efficiency was crap; I was wasting too much power during my fights."
The Hall Master nuhyutt explained as Samiel listened attentively to every word he spoke.
