After some time Colt finally absorbed all the energy in the stone, as it turned into ashes, he opened his eyes to see Grave observing him with a smile. " I absorbed it all squad leader!" Colt said happily, but he got agitated a bit when he saw that Grave has eaten the food but he didn't fall asleep at all, 'it doesn't work on high level cultivators! FUCK!' Colt was swearing in him mind but outside he had an innocent smile as he waited for Grave to give him another order.
"Already? Very nice that's not the best absorbing speed but it's still not bad" Grave was saying this but in him mind he was speechless 'he already absorbed it all? It took him 30 minutes to absorb a middle-level nature elemental stone? I take more than 12 hours to absorb one' Grave was a bit sad but he pulled himself together when he remembered that he was the only one in the entire world that knows about such a devilish talent, and the most important thing is that this talent appeared in one of the southern Kingdoms 'the Xale Kingdom'.
"Did you tell anyone about you being able to cultivate?" Grave wanted to make sure that he was the only one that knows about a talent like this appearing in Yarison's mine.
"No… no one knows about this" Colt wanted to open the System to see what changed but he didn't want to behave weirdly in front of Grave as he was still thinking of how to kill him now that he knew that the sleeping powder didn't put him to sleep.
"Don't tell anyone about this ok?" Grave was worried that if Colt's talent was to be discovered, a lot of cultivators stronger than him will come to make him their disciple.
"Ok!" Colt was about to ask why but he pulled that question down his throat as he was still scared that Grave might kill him if he chooses the wrong thing to say.
"Are you interested in becoming my disciple? You won't need to mine anymore and you will get cultivation recourses" Grave had a smile as if he knew that Colt wouldn't say no.
"…ok" Colt wanted to refuse at the beginning but he knew that the duke and the army of the Reigh Kingdom are going to attack today so if he could get some cultivation resourses before running away from the mine would be something good to him.
"Hahira very nice… aren't you going to kowtow to your master?" Grave laughed a bit as he waited for Colt to kowtow but Colt didn't have the slightiest body movement, so Grave asked him if he is going to kowtow.
"Umm… sorry master but can we hold this kowtow thing to tomorrow? Please?" Colt wasn't going to kowtow and he didn't have the slightiest thought of kowtowing to someone even if it was God himself!
"Hush.. ok I guess I don't like formalities anyways" Grave felt a bit awkward as he just waited there looking at Colt in the eyes, "here take this pass, you can show it to the guards in front of the warehouse, they would let you in if you show them this special pass that only the four squad leaders have!" Grave felt proud when he said the last sentence but Colt didn't have the slightiest hint of admiration in his eyes, as he knew that the four squad leaders are just fuckers. Colt took the key with a smile "Thanks to you master I am going to go and ask for some cultivation resourses now" Colt said as he quickly left the room.
"Wait… he already left" Grave wanted to stop Colt since it was forbidden for squad leaders to give their special passes to anyone else.
Colt knew where the warehouse is from his memories so he just followed the path in his mind. After some time Colt finally reached the warehouse.
"Hold on where do you think you are going?" one of the guards that were guarding the gate to the warehouse asked furiously. "Here" Colt pulled the pass as he showed it to the guards, "We are deeply sorry for holding you!" the guards changed the furious looks to frightened ones when they looked at the pass, while making a way for Colt to walk through.
Colt walked in the warehouse, even though it was called a 'Warehouse' it was a huge chamber full of exquisite armor and swords, Colt stored anything that he went by in his inventory, after taking a full tour around the outer-side of the warehouse that was full of armor and weapons, he went to the inner-side which had all kinds of elemental stones from low-level to high-level, after making sure that he took everything Colt made his way to the outer-side of the warehouse, "Help!" he screamed just enough that the guards outside heard him." What happened?" the guards asked when they rushed in but after seconds they were speechless when they saw the empty warehouse that was full of all kinds of armor before, this warehouse was actually the warehouse that had the best armors that the Kingdom had, since this mine is full of guards and it is a mine in the Capital of the Xale Kingdom which made it the most protected place in the whole kingdom, that's why most of the treasures that the Kingdom had were in here.
"You need to catch him! Fast!" Colt woke them from the shock, the guards looked at him weirdly " is there someone else here other than you?" their suspicion of him was reduced when they saw that he was exhausted and bleeding as well which meant someone attacked him."He went to the inner-room go fetch him fast!" Colt screamed again.
The three guards were about to go to the inner-room when they heard Colt's voice again" one of you come and help me!" The two guards on the sides looked at the one in the middle, from this Colt found out who's the leader as he screamed again "You in the middle come here fast!". The leader was about to order one of the two guards to go and help Colt but since he was ordered he couldn't say no s he went to help Colt, but no one of the guards noticed that the blood that was dripping from Colt's stomach wasn't really blood as it was only a tomato.
