'' Can we continue. '' said Ebony with a cold voice, her feminine voice resounded in the quiet forest, all the other men blanked out but one out them had a different expression. The new boys had a greedy and lustful expression on his face and pressed to present himself. '' I am baron Sermon of Whitecrystal city, please my lady can you grace us with your name? '' all the other men seemed interested.
'' Show us direction... please? '' it sounded a little awkward but no one cared except Dayan who puts to his list 'teach Ebony civilised Etiquette'.
The big nosed man thought she was just shy in front of her master so he said
''My lady don't have to worry about direction my men and are juste going back to Whitecrystal city, do you mind joining us, you could rest at my place in staid of some inn, what do you think? '' the man said with a sly smile.
Dayan sized him up and thought ' Is this kid some kind of retard? Ha! let's juste follow him I will teach him a lesson, his last one. '' Dayan thought .
Ebony looked up at him for a while then responded '' when... are you going to leave? we are in a hurry. '' the man responded with '' Right now , we are two days away on foot my lady . '' he didn't even glace at Dayan once.
' This beauty is a shapeshifting Magus and she is working for such a popper, she only deserve to be mine, her chest is pretty large I wonder how it feels to fondle them, but this guy seem strong when they my territory with all my men he won't be able to do anything, he is just one man after all, and after his death this beauty will all mine to enjoy' was the thought of this guy, a real stereotypical character (AN: not my fault, he is just too dumb )but he doesn't know that he will be the first step stone for Dayan to gain a foothold in this new world.
Dayan and Ebony were traveling with the rest, Ebony was using this trip to adapt to the movement of humans. She would spar with Dayan every brake, at first she couldn't even chained to punch , but after some effort she began to get the hang of it and her progress stunned the soldiers who looked at them, they only put it on the head of her ability, that she needed rééducation After a long while of shapeshifting.
Finally after two days of March they arrived at the city, but the cityzens were not pleased with the returning of this lord at all, but they couldn't show it all they could do was bowing in respect anytime they saw him. Dayan couldn't care less of their problems, life wasn't easy for anyone. He had a war to prepare and didn't have time to be a hero.
The house of this Sermon guy was pretty large and well built with fine details, it was good then staying in the forest, Ebony has already taken her humanoid form a while ago to not startle common people, when they entered the house, the Sermon guy wanted to separate them but Dayan only looked at him with a frown and he begun to sweat profusely and didn't continue.
In their room Dayan didn't do anything weird, instead he was teaching Ebony.
She was fast learner perhaps because she had a mental connection with Dayan so she had a little human common sense. Next he needed to gather information of this world but he had urgent matter to attend to, his soul space, he needed to understand it and begin using it. The system had an inventory function but very few know this, the system will be disabled when the true battle begins, anyone who relied to the system to much will see their battle strength diminish very considerably, and they will be the first to fall because the other envoys aren't the sole enemies.
Daya after teaching Ebony all he deemed necessary told her to go to nearby libraries to gather all information she could get access to.
'' Yes my lord, I won't disappoint you. '' said Ebony before going out of the room.
Dayan sat on the bed in the lotus position because even though many don't know it, this position was actually the best for profound meditation. He needed an hour to finally connect with his soul space and weirdly there was something, a black mass was was there, dont ask how it inside the soul space and how he knew it was black, but he could feel it when he touched it he felt a pressure envelope his soul and he thought it might shatter, he immediately existed his soul space and waked up sweating. He was scared, an instinctive fear, the fear of total annihilation.
On the side of Ebony
When Ebony came out of the room she was already accosted by the 'noble' man. '' Hello my lady, how is your stay in my humble abode. ''
'' Hello mister, your house is pretty good , but I wonder if I could find a library here. '' said Ebony with cold expression and her golden Dragon eyes unmoved. '' Of course, let me lead you there right now. '' responded Sermon whithout even being affected a little. ''Good, lead the way.''
After a while they arrived at a room with many books, then Sermon tried and tried again to strike a conversation but but Ebony didn't even glance at him so he gave up before embarrassing himself even more.
Ebony had a boon because she had the dragon genes, and dragons had many innate abilities and inheritances in their blood but the most important right now was 'universal language' Wich permits every dragon to decipher any texts and understand any languages.
So it didn't take Ebony to pass through all of those books, she was after all a high mortal being and compared to normal humans who had to take hours to read one book, to her it only took one minute to finish a book and memorizing it, it was just the time to turn all the pages, so in five hours she had already finished 60% of books. Then got out of the library, she didn't need all the informations because many books weren't useful because they were stories for entertainment. So after finishing all the books she deemed useful she went back to report to her lord and master.
