105 Train me! (1/2)
Several days passed since the Chrismas and the New Year Eve was coming. Currently was snowing heavily and Lucien was spending time in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory training in his kenjutsu. Training here was much better than training outside as there was much more silent environment and it gave a more peaceful feeling.
When he wasn't training in kenjutsu he was refining blood essences from the corpses of killed ghouls or those bones and remains he obtained from the Cochlea Detention Center, from the disposal room.
Currently, he had a huge amount of blood essences thanks to the number of ghoul corpses and remains. Unfortunately, most of them would be used on the Devourification process as the fuel. Lucien spent more than three whole days refining those bones and remains of the ghouls from the disposal room of the Cochlea Detention Center.
Originally there were small mountains from those bones and remains of ghouls, Lucien refined all of them to several hundred blood essences. Then he stored them all in a special room in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory and went back to his estate in Tokyo.
=============================================
Itori was currently reading some books and drinking blood wine during it. She was in the library of the estate, which was rather big and was full of various book, that was placed there by Lucien. As she was reading the books, suddenly somebody knocked at the door and entered with haste.
The person who entered was one of the mercenaries guarding the estate. Currently, there were more than forty people guarding the entire estate. Even though most of them were in the smaller house, as only half of them were active on the duty and the other half had free time.
”Madam, some young girl named Kirishima Touka came here, saying that she wanted to meet Lord Aeon. She is currently waiting at the gate with several men guarding over her.”
Said the mercenary who came here. One must admit that the security here was top-notch. The entire complex was under the watch of cameras, detectors of movement and other gadgets all the time. Besides that, it was under the constant watch of more than twenty ghoul mercenaries all the time.
Itori was surprised that Touka came here, but she knew that Lucien offered her help that he would train her a little.
”Escort her to the living room, Lucien would return soon.”
Said Itori as she continued reading her book and sipping the blood wine. She won't be going to meet Touka as Lucien probably knew that somebody was here and would return soon.
=============================================
Touka was currently standing at the checkpoint, which was a small building at the gate leading to Lucien's estate and was under the constant watch of four ghoul mercenaries. During the time here, some of the mercenaries even reached S-rated thanks to the Lucien and the blood essences he gave them occasionally. Soon, mercenary which departed to the mansion returned and came to her.
”You can go to the mansion, the Lord would return soon and see you. You two escort her to the living room and then return.”
