Hearing Lucius's answer, Kiana didn't know what to truly make of it. Another thing Kiana had started to note from the new 'Asher' is that he was giving more and more vague answers.
There were often things that he didn't want to talk about and would just dodge it or switch the topic. He was also rather good at it and a person who saws talking with him wouldn't even realize that he did so till they were done and in their different ways.
~Sigh~
Silently sighing to herself, Kiana just decide to wait and watch. So far, doing this had not proved to be bad and thus she would do it unless Lucius said otherwise.
This was the sa with Gabriel and Lita now. The more they saw the capabilities of Lucius and the ideas that were all working, the more they thought that their son was grown up and the little they needed to interfere with him.
By now, Lucius was mostly independent in that aspect and only needed permission for certain matters that directly involved them or their authority.
~KNOCK~ KNOCK~
Just as Kiana had decided to leave, a knock on the door was heard.
"It's , I have so news," Neta spoke from the outside.
Lucius turned towards the door and spoke, "let him in."
Kiana nodded her head and unlocked the door for the other servant that Lucius had taken under his wing.
"What is it?" Lucius asked the man.
"Gellor and his team have returned! They were spotted coming towards the town and should be here in a few minutes." Neta replied hurriedly.
"Oh? They're already here? Excellent…" Lucius muttered to himself.
"Should I set up the eting room?" Kiana asked.
"Indeed, please do that Kiana," Lucius replied.
Kiana nodded her head and went to do the task along with Neta, who accompanied her. Neta was, after all, a servant as well, and considering the rank, he was below Kiana and thus needed to assist her.
Lucius finished up the paragraph he was reading and closed the book before leaving the room and going to the private eting hall. In the thirty or so minutes it took him to do this, Gellor and his team finally arrived.
~NEIGH!~
The sounds of the horses could be heard as they neighed and brought a rather large carriage with them. This was of course, the sa ones Lucius had supplied them with and one could see thick canvas sheets that were laid on the carriages.
One could tell that the carriages were packed with whatever goods they were carrying and the team of five seed to be a little exhausted looking as well. Though one could also see a hint of excitent in their eyes.
They ca to a stop in front of the manor and walked the rest of their way. Gellor was in the front and a couple of new scars could be seen on his body. They were still red and the scabs on them looked fresh, which made Lucius think that they hadn't happened that long ago.
"Welco Gellor!" Lucius greeted the man.
"Greetings! Lord Asher." Gellor greeted.
"Greetings, Lord Asher." The other mbers of the team also responded, which included, Barty, Ariana, Finch, and Albus.
Lucius took a look at Finch, who was once greatly injured and found her to be in tip-top condition. Though there were a few injuries on her body as well. Another particular thing Lucius noted was that there were actually so scorch marks on their weapons.
"Co on, let's talk inside," Lucius suggested.
"At once, Lord Asher," Gellor replied and went inside the mansion along with the rest of his team.
This was the first ti Finch was seeing the interior of the Inanis mansion and thus was quite stunned. Even if she was once the mistress of a noble, she hadn't seen the house of a noble from inside.
Not to ntion, the Inanis mansion, which was better than a lot of other nobles's houses couldn't compare at all.
Thus she was in a bit of awe. She also saw the handso face of Lucius and was a bit intrigued. A ting of pink appeared on her face the mont she saw Lucius now.
'Sothing is different about him… but what?' Finch couldn't help but feel.
~Creak~
The sounds of chairs being pulled around could be heard as Gellor and his team took seats. Once everyone was settled, the servants poured them so water to drink and also to make them relax a bit.
"Well then, I'm guessing from your appearance and those filled carriages, your mission went well?" Lucius questioned.
"Indeed, Lord Asher. We were able to track down the Stampeding Bulls and finished our mission." Gellor spoke and nudged Ariana.
"Show him the box…" he gently whispered in her ear.
Ariana nodded her head hurriedly and took out the small box that was kept on one of their bags.
~THUD~
"Please take a look, Lord Asher." Ariana spoke.
~eek~
The hinge of the box echoed a bit as it opened up. Finally, inside the box, Lucius could see ten circular marbles kept. Each of the marble was a yellowish brown in color and had a symbol that looked like a bull on it.
Lucius picked up one of the rune crystals and observed it closely. He lightly squinted his eyes and so information popped up in front of him
Gift Na: Stampede
Description: This allows the user to create vibrations in the ground that can travel wide. The more the number of this gift's bearers increases, the better the strength of the vibration will get. There is no definite limit.
Rank: Rare
Type: Physical
Evolution: Impossible
This was the information Lucius obtained from the Rune beast crystal. He quickly used nexus on the other rune beast crystals as well and realized that he didn't really need to use more Aether if he used Nexus with hell energy beforehand.
Having confird that everything was fine and unto his standard, Lucius praised again, "perfect."
