Angus and Mistress Ivis slowly turn around and look at each other with frowns.
'A chi user?!!' thought Angus inwardly.
'What a massive chi?!! It is as if…' thought Ivis.
Angus recovered from his surprise and walked again without stopping. Seeing this, Mistress Ivis also continued her walk. However, everyone could feel her disturbed mind from her silent behavior. No one knows what she is thinking.
As for Angus, he wasn't surprised that others could use chi, especially the seventh grade. It is easy for them to accidentally co in contact with chi as their body has near-endless vitality. Unlike mana, chi is heavily related to vitality.
The more vitality soone has, the easier they can produce and cultivate chi. He even felt so trace of chi inside Warchief Might last ti. However, the chi inside Warchief Might is very unrefined and wild.
Angus assud Warchief Might sohow accidentally found this kind of strong energy and didn't practice much on it. On the other hand, Ivis Chi is very refined and concealed properly.
If Angus hadn't gotten close to Ivis, he might never have noticed such a refined chi from her body. There is a massive difference between cultivating chi and refining chi.
The first one could get accidentally by doing so body training or ditation. The latter needs a proper technique while circulating chi. The technique encompasses unique breathing rhythms, body movents, or other conditions.
However, chi is very wild and hard to control. It is more destructive and uncontrollable than mana by many tis. One single mistake could heavily injure soone's body.
If they practice it in the wrong way, they may be dood to die or get a permanent injury. Even with Angus' superb talent in martial arts, he didn't dare to develop a complete new technique of refining chi.
He only improved his current refining technique passed down since ancient tis. He knows this refining technique has already been improved and changed many tis by his predecessor.
In short, any sophisticated refining technique is an accumulation and heritage technique passed down through history. Therefore, Angus is quite surprised to know there has been a chi user since ancient tis in this world.
'Well, this world is getting more and more interesting. Still, Mistress of Makina, huh? This is going to be troubleso.' thought Angus inwardly.
Makina kingdom is a unique kingdom that emphasizes freedom. Because of this policy, a blurry statent between their laws often leads to chaos.
However, it is still a powerful nation since it is guarded by three seventh grade. Though, the two of them are only puppets and cannot use their seventh-grade real power.
Angus heard rumors about the Makina kingdom becoming one of the leading underworld businesses. It is comparable to the previous Eternal Kingdom led by the last Vampire King Alfred.
This makes Angus wary of Mistress Ivis, especially after knowing she is a chi user like him. Since Angus was born in this world, he only ets her and Warchief Might with chi in their body.
It could be said that chi users are very rare, almost non-existent. With the underground world's unscrupulous nature, Ivis will definitely try to contact him again.
'There is even a chance she may have tried to kidnap . *Sigh* what a terrible…' thought Angus inwardly.
While Angus deeply contemplates, he notices their group is approaching a small lake in the corner of the Roundel City. From afar, they could see the dimly lit lake giving a magical sensation with sapphire light.
"What is that lake?" asked Jade curiously.
"That small lake is our smithing facility. That lake resembles how you use forge to lt your weapon." replied Filka.
After a while, they finally reach the forging facility periter. To their surprise, this place looks unguarded and feels like a nursing ho for the elderly. They could see many elves lying around, sleeping without caring about the world. The site seems pretty peaceful and serene.
"Ohh… Filkas, why are you here? Did you want to maintain your equipnt?" asked one of the elves nearby.
"No, elder Cyran. These guests from the Heart Kingdom are interested in our forging facility. Can we look around?" asked Filkas.
"A guest?" asked the elder Cyran while looking at Jade and the others.
Despite being called an elder, Cyran didn't look old and had the sa appearance as an adult in the middle of thirty. He even looks younger than Jacob.
"Yes, Elder Cyran. They are from the Heart Kingdom and will participate in the next World Alliance eting." said Filkas.
"Ahh.. I see. Hmm… What are you doing here again?" asked Cyran.
"We are trying to look at the forge facility, Elder Cyran." replied Filkas patiently.
"Ohh… visiting the facility. Wait… Who are they?" asked Cyran.
"*Sigh* They are from the Heart Kingdom." said Filkas.
"Ohh.. Heart Kingdom. Hm… Who are you again?" asked Cyran.
"Err… My na is Filkas, Elder Cyran." said Filkas as he slowly got impatient at this senile elf.
"Ahh… Filkas. Did you co here to maintain your equipnt again?" asked Cyran.
"Excuse , Filkas. Why don't we just enter the facility now?" interrupted Jade.
Using his sharp perception and keen eyes, Jade also notices this elf is just playing around with Filkas.
"About that… Elder Cyran here is the head of our Roundel Smithing Facility. So…" said Filkas uncertainty.
'Uncle, I think we should just go away. It seems this elder didn't want us here.' said Angus through telepathy.
Like Jade, Angus also notices Cyran's playful behavior. Although it is not hostile, it is problematic for so people. Moreover, Jade here is a full-fledged seventh grade. No one should play like this with any seventh grade unless they want to die.
The prestige of seventh grade couldn't be easily trampled by others. Hence, Angus prefers to go back and look for other ways to collect information.
Receiving Angus' telepathy, Jade's gentle smile changes into a stern one before looking at Cyran coldly.
"It seems we are not welco here. Then, let's go back first." said Jade before walking away.
This sudden change of attitude and aura startled Filkas and Cyran.
Just after Jade walked a few steps, "Oh yeah, I forgot sothing. Next ti, I will make sure to smash you to ash." said Jade.
"I will keep it mine, The teor Jade." said Cyran politely.
Hearing this, Jade just turns around and walks away followed by Angus and Jacob. Filkas couldn't help but sigh before also following Jade.
Unbeknown to Filkas, so part of Cyran's clothes is burned. He may turn naked now if not because of strong enchantnt in his clothes. However, this also shows Jade's mastery of fire elental.
"Interesting… It seems The teor Jade is not just a rumor." said Cyran.
After leaving the elven smithing facility, Jade and the others decide to stay at their residence. Their residence is similar to when King Leon and Jacob visited last ti. It is a building with the shape of a tree and a hole as its entrance.
Everything inside is covered with enchantnts to make the guest feel comfortable staying inside. There are a few rooms and one master bedroom for Jade's group.
"Although it is still early, let's rest first. The eting will not happen until tomorrow." said Jade before entering the master bedroom.
"Sure." replied Jacob and Angus.
"Then, can I walk around the city by myself?" asked Angus to Jacob.
Jacob didn't reply and looked at the nearby Filkas.
"Err… Well, usually the envoys from other kingdoms will stay together. However, we also didn't forbid you to walk around the city. Still, you must be accompanied by another guide. I will call one of my colleagues first if you want to continue walking around the city." said Filkas.
"That will do," replied Jacob.
Jacob knows Angus' plan to look for an elf forging technique. However, Jade and his presence may only limit Angus' move. It is better to let Angus go alone to gather information.
As for being caught by others, he didn't believe anyone could catch Angus easily. Then, another elf ca to accompany Angus and walked around. Through Angus' perception, he could feel this new elf is fifth grade and quite a clutch.
"Hello, everyone. My na is Aleria. I will be your teacher during your visit." said Aleria.
"Aleria, it's a guide, not a teacher!!" rebuked Filkas from the side.
"I apologize for Aleria's speech. She couldn't speak the common tongue language well. However, she will not have a problem being your guide if you don't mind her speech." said Filkas.
"Sure. I don't mind it." replied Angus.
"So, where do you want to go Miss…" asked Aleria.
"It's Mr!!" rebuked Filkas again.
"Ahh… I am sorry. Mr…" said Aleria.
"Just call Angus. I am quite interested in elf literature. Did you have a public library or sothing?" replied Angus.
"Public… Sorry, we don't have an open bath here." asked Aleria with surprise.
"Public Library, Aleria!! It's [Library], not [Open Bath]!!" retorted Filkas while saying elf words.
"Ohh… Library. Sure, we have one. Please follow ." said Aleria excitedly.
"*Sigh* This girl…" said Filkas, speechless at Aleria's casual manner.
"Don't worry about it. I don't mind it." said Angus before following Aleria.
During the journey, Angus finds Aleria really an air-headed and clumsy girl. However, combined with the natural elf beauty, it only makes her adorable. If a man without a strong ntality is around her, they may already be doing so cri to the defenseless elven girl.
