36 Two Years... (1/2)
William walked up to his room and once more began to cultivate, he cultivated diligently for a week then a month, two months, three months...
After eight months of cultivating...
Moj Dak suddenly appeared in the tower all scratched up full a of bruises, with his robe all torn up barely standing.
”Aahh! Damn it that golem was no joke! He almost got me again that time.” said Moj Dak as he fell to his knees breathing heavily.
Nin Li flew into the tower at that time through a small window.
”Master! You've returned!” yelled Nin Li as she noticed Moj Dak
”Oh Nin Li, there you are. How are you?” asked Moj Dak as he began to stand.
Nin Li quickly flew over and turned into her human shape to help Moj Dak stand up.
”Master! I'm fine, it's you who doesn't look too well.” said Nin Li with a worried face.
”I'll be alright after a warm bath” said Moj Dak with a smile.
”I'll go prepare one for you right away, let me just guide you a chair first.” said Ni Li as she walked Moj Dak over to a chair.
”Thank you, Nin Li you are truly wonderful” said Moj Dak as he sat down.
”Master... How many did you use this time?” asked Nin Li with a worried face.
”This time it was bit tougher...” replied Moj Dak
”How many?” asked Nin Li
”This time it was twelve” replied Moj Dak
”Twelve! It was that difficult! These missions they're just getting more and more dangerous! Last time it was seven this time it was twelve! How many will it take next time?!” asked Nin Li worried
”Don't worry I still have more than nine hundred” replied Moj Dak with a smile.
”That's not the point! If you keep going on these dangerous missions it will only be a matter of time until you have... none left...” replied Nin Li with a sad look.
”Nin Li, I am one of the four greats. It is my duty get the scrolls, the others have their difficulties too. Besides, there's only one left now. Once, I get it I'll come back here and stay with you.” said Moj Dak
”Until you find out where the other scrolls are...” mumbled Nin Li with a sad look.
”Anyways how are things at the tower, how's William doing” replied Moj Dak with a smile pretending not to notice Nin Li's mumbling.
”The tower is fine, the force field has be acting up a little but I've resolved the issue. The camouflage spell around the tower dispersed the other day so I had Mi Mi cast a new one. As for William... he's been cultivating none stop since you left” replied Nin Li
”I see, well that's good to hear” replied Moj Dak
”No, I mean he hasn't stopped even to eat or sleep.” replied Nin Li
”Ah, well he is a bit odd that William.” replied Moj Dak
”Odd? Even if the soul stones eliminate the need to eat or sleep. He should still feel fatigue and hunger, at least until he reaches the later realms of silver rank.” replied Nin Li with a worried face.
”Just let him be, if he feels he can handle it'll help temper his mind.” replied Moj Dak
”If you say so... I'll go prepare the bath I'll have my puppet's bring you something to eat.” replied Nin Li
”That's alright, I'm not hungry” replied Moj Dak
”You're going to eat... specially since you're probably running low on soul stones you shouldn't waste them!” replied Nin Li with an angry look.
”Soul stones... I still have plenty” said Moj Dak with a smile.
”Don't lie to me, like you did William. Why did you tell him you got all of those soul stones from the scroll hunt? At best you probably only have a thousand low tier soul stones left. Those mid tier and high tier soul stones were rewards from the wizard guild.” said Nin Li
”He needs them more than I do, besides he might not have taken them otherwise.” replied Moj Dak
”William is young and smart he has plenty of ways to get them with time. You on the other hand need them too frequently specially with the seal always needing reinforcement. Which by the way, is coming up in another 3 years” said Nin Li
”I'll get more by then don't worry, if anything I'll just take another loan from the guild” replied Moj Dak
