547 Completing the job and learning about cultivators
[Congratulations on fixing the problem. Even though every upgrade will now cost forty soul power, it is great that the skill can continue to upgrade.]
-...-
[But there is no need to upgrade Soul Dinsional Storage further right now. The current size is enough to store this large mansion that is about half the size of ours and everything inside of it.]
Vincent didn’t answer Kazumi. Instead, he focused on the mansion and everything inside.
A few seconds later, the mansion turned into bright green, dematerialized into particles. Lucas, Bilka, and Anna beca srized by the process. It felt like an out-of-the-world experience.
After the particles entered Vincent’s body, Lucas and Anna clapped as if the magic show was over, and the encaustic clapping gave the impression of liking the show.
Only Bilka didn’t clap because she was carrying Anna. However, even if her hands were free and even if Bilka didn’t dislike the show, the chances of her ever clapping was slim to none because it would an she accepted Vincent.
Vincent looked at his hands and felt a strange sensation.
[Is sothing the matter, Vincent?]
.....
-Kazumi, did sothing happen inside the Soul Domain?-
Kazumi looked around and noticed a new object. She beca excited, and together with Wolfie and Freerie, she went to check it out.
[Hmm. The previous box-like thing beca a full-fledged treasure chest. It is so beautiful.]
[The erald treasure chest is like a grand sculpture made by the best craftsman the world had ever seen. There are also runes carved in it. So even look like yours. It might be the rune language at this point.]
Kazumi beca even more curious as to how Vincent knew sothing before her. [How did you know?] She curiously asked.
-When I used the intent as feelers, I felt by instinct I could store the pieces separately and reattach them inside my Soul Dinsional Storage.-
[What!!! Are you saying you can build a house if you have the materials?]
-As I said, it felt like instinct. Experience will probably be required.-
[Ahh, now I understand. It is only good for small things then. Spending years or even decades building houses to gain experience for the chance to build houses with your thoughts sounds balanced now.]
-Yeah. I would look like a god if what I am feeling right now is actually true.-
Vincent and Kazumi arrived at the sa decision to test whether what Vincent felt was real or simply a feeling.
“I knew this was going to be a surprising show. I can’t wait to see my mansion relocated.”
“I am glad I ca. I got to see a magnificent show. The green fireflies entering your body were breathtaking.”
*Tsk* “It is great you can at least make the princess happy.”
Vincent turned around after hearing Lucas and Anna give more praise than he expected. Lucas looked curious as to how the ability worked, while Anna was like a person excited to see sothing new.
The last and tallest person, the towering Bilka, was revealing a frown instead of a glare. She appeared to be in a grumpy mood instead of on high alert.
Vincent hoped Bilka wouldn’t be too alert when he was around Anna because it made him think Bilka had started to accept him. Even one percent was a win for Vincent, as spending more traveling ti with soone constantly glaring was botherso.
After giving Vincent a few more praises and curiously asking how his storage skill worked, to which Vincent repeated the sa lie of the unique Soul-Bound Bag Of Holding, they left for the next destination.
On the way, Lucas finally began talking about Feng ngli. However, both Vincent and Kazumi could understand Lucas wasn’t saying everything he knew.
Feng ngli was a little younger than Lucas, and he didn’t have mana in his body. For humans, a person with a warrior class but without mana ant they couldn’t have a further awakening, thus having no bright future.
Cultivators are split into two categories. The rest are rare classes like Glyph Mage, which have more specialized training than category two.
First are the cultivators without mana. They master energy flow to use it for combat and use existing moves or create new ones. Feng ngli is in this category.
Second are the cultivators with mana. Both warrior and magic classes are in this category, but the warriors would have stronger CQC while mages would have stronger mana and specialized elental control.
This information started to shed light on why the cultivators of the North Continent are called barbarians. All the combat classes, be it physical or magic, learn CQC. It ant magic classes of the North Content fought in close-quarter combat as any ordinary warrior would.
Many people see mana as a gift that needs to be nourished and used appropriately. However, because the cultivators live on the most dangerous continent, the idea of a mage using his fists or sword to attack made the cultivators look barbaric in the eyes of the other continents.
Vincent rembered Ester ntioning how Feng ngli used moves that looked rather similar to wind magic, yet what Ester described was far stronger than any wind magic he had seen this far.
“As I said before, Feng ngli doesn’t have mana. However, his willpower to improve is so unyielding that he can possibly be called the strongest human without mana in the world.” Lucas responded without a hint of doubt in his eyes. Lucas spoke words he regarded as the truth.
Such information made Vincent and Kazumi’s minds go blank. Even Anna and Bilka were taken by surprise.
Lucas laughed after noticing their expressions. “After Feng ngli fought against the Broodmother Ant Queen, he managed to improve after almost a decade of, as he said, “futile attempts.” Now Feng ngli isn’t too far from attaining a perfect-tempered body.”
*Knock* “We have arrived.” Said the coachman before stopping the carriage.
Vincent shortly saw a large piece of land with a stone foundation surrounded by a large body of water. The closer Vincent got, the more water and less land were in his view. It made the foundation look like flat ground surrounded by a large lake.
“I think only one rmaid will feel lonely swimming in this large space.” Said Anna while her gaze looked at the large body of water with excitent.
Lucas glanced at Vincent and joked, “Maybe I will make a rmaid harem and have them move a small boat.”
“I would love to ride a boat for the first ti.” Anna pleasantly smiled at the thought of experiencing a boat ride.
Vincent ignored Lucas and Anna from planning future events and walked on a few ters long wooden bridge. Afterward, Vincent summoned the mansion and everything inside of it.
*Clap, clap* Vincent was applauded again by Lucas and Anna. On the other hand, Bilka was looking at Anna with a faint smile. It appeared Anna’s happiness was her soft spot.
“It looks better than I expected. The cost of filling the large hole I dug with water was well spent.” Lucas said with a satisfied expression.
Lucas took out a stick about the length of ten inches and said, “Here, Vincent, catch.”
Vincent caught the stick and imdiately understood it was a mage’s wand. He quickly checked its information and understood why this was the paynt.

Vincent and Kazumi stared at the status window. Both couldn’t believe Lucas gave Vincent a wand with all the beginner effects Sakura would need to learn for the process of Karta’s staff.
“Haha. It looks like the paynt is making Vincent ponder many things.” Lucas gently tousled Anna’s hair. “How about we take the surprised Vincent back ho?”
“Yes. ” Anna answered with a radiant smile.
Bilka, with Anna on her back, went into the carriage. Lucas was about to enter inside. When he stopped to look back, a smirk appeared on his face. Vincent was still looking at the wand as if it was a treasure.
“Vincent. Do you want to stay here, or do you want to go to your harem? I can keep them company if you want, haha. Being surrounded by young beauties is always fun, haha.”
Vincent quickly stored the wand and rushed to the carriage.
“I can only allow one to keep you company. The others are off-limits.” Vincent said while entering the carriage and closing the door.
[Huh? I suggest it is best not to joke like this with Lucas. He might believe it is accurate.]
-I am just having so fun, hehe.-
[...]
“Which one?” Lucas questioned. His expression showed he was interested in who Vincent trusted enough to spend ti with the old man.
Vincent smirked, saying, “My wolf girl Lupa would keep you good company.”
“Haha. I bet keeping company ans sparing all the ti. Isn’t that right?”
“Now I feel you know everything about us.” Vincent smiled and continued, “Now I can understand how the famous hawk gaze could know everything about my wives, haha. ”
“Haha.” Lucas laughed with Vincent.
Anna and Bilka looked at each other. Anna smiled while Bilka revealed a faint smile.
The ride to Vincent’s ho was filled with many jokes and laughter. Anna smiled and laughed while Bilka beca in a good mood by the ti they arrived in front of the Erald Lionheart Mansions’s gate.
