'4th stage of spirit refining? Grandpa, what is that does Immortal also have stages?'
'The information about cultivation is always present in the public library of the town, it is not that hard to start cultivation but difficult to continue'
'Why is that grandpa?'
'Because cultivators have Spirit veins or Spirit souls which help them in cultivation but normal people don't, so we can only start by trying to take in the spiritual energy in the air to make our body tougher but even that is the ultimate stage of our practice'
After saying that Rick went into his melancholy look like remembering something from the past, but Knave did not urge him because he knew that giving him time to remember will only help him gather more information.
'Rick, Master Robert is calling you and the kid in the study' but just as I was going to ask other questions Steward Sam came to call us.
'Ok Sam, let's go, kid, today is the day when you really start to work in the mansion.'
When I heard this it came to me that after all the time of learning under Rick has come to an end, but at least before he left he gave me a clue where I can find information about the cultivation world.
After following Sam we came to the back door of the mansion, we followed him to the second floor of the mansion where the study was situated.
After arriving at the study Sam first knocked on the door for permission to enter, while I could see that old Rick was just waiting behind him without any nervousness so from this I could pick up that the Master of the mansion was not a tyrant, who uses his powers for pleasure but he could also be a hypocrite so I would have to meet him to have a proper insight to have proper planning for the future.
'Sam, come in ' an old and rugged voice came from behind the door.
As soon as I entered the first thing I did was to look at the old man seating behind the desk, so that I could know what kind of person he was. As it is said the eyes are the windows to the soul and living in the crime world for many years, had helped Knave to be a good character at understanding what kind of person he was dealing with.
' So you are the kid that Rick has been telling me about, hmm not bad you do look quite smart from your eyes'
' Master your praises are misplaced, it is just because grandpa Rick is a very good mentor and I am really interested in herbs'
' Haha as you said Rick this kid is really very sensible for his age '
' It's better this way for him Master it shows that the hard work that master had put into the town has paid as even now the kids know how to communicate with the adults ' said Sam
'Sam you don't have to flatter me I know.
So kid what was your name again?'
' it's Knave Master'
'Ok Knave as Rick has told me that you are ready to take care of the garden and also that you have learned all that he could teach you'
'Yes Master'
'Excellent then that means Rick can start his retirement early, now that we are at it lets start with the prospect of your job.'
'As you authorize Master'
'You will take care of the garden every day from sunrise till sunset in between the meals will be provided by the mansion, you can also take a break in the afternoon for 2 hours, also as I had said before since you are so proficient in your work your salary will be increased to 40 copper. If you have any requests you can put them forward right now?'
'Master I am very happy with all the provisions, my only request is that in the break can I go to the library in the town to learn more about herbs and gain knowledge'
' Oh! you are interested in reading that is quite good, I will permit it'
'Thank You Master '
'Good as today is the 4 of 1 month you can start working from 6 s tomorrow we will have a small celebration for Rick's retirement '
'Acknowledged Master '
'Ok you can go Sam, Rick you stay'
