Next day, Ash gave 7 Fire fish to Eva and asked her to make breakfast with it. Eva was very surprised and happy after learning how Ash can breed Fire fish.
" Congratulation Meg. You are now 6th rank light mage." Ash saw Meg coming out of her room. Ash was very happy for Meg today. Meg nodded. "Young master, i want a congratulation gift from you."
Ash helpless smiled and pulled Meg in his embrace. Ash then kissed her lips. Both kissed each other for few minutes. Meg was panting heavily, a sly smile can be seen forming on her face.
Meg shyly ran away making Ash chuckle.
Ash then saw Isabella coming out of her. Yesterday, she wasn't able to sleep because of what Ash did to her. Whenever she closed her eyes she remembered how Ash kissed. She felt very sweet and warm.
"Good morning, Isabella." Ash words caused her to blush. She was about to avoid Finn and ran past him but he caught her wrist. Ash the pulled her into his embrace and kissed her other cheek.
" This js a morning reward from your master." Ash left after throwing these words out of his mouth.
Innocent Isabella again blushed. She never thought that she become so weak. Unexpectedly she didn't hate Ash eve though he was human. Instead she wanted Ash to kiss her more. Isabella didn't know what happened to her heart. Before meeting Ash her heart already had stopped beating, but now her heart would always beat.
Ash's timid character changed after he obtained Shadow Monarch passive skill, Tenacity. Ash was able to confront his feelings without any second thought.
After having a delicious breakfast with Fire fish, Finn went to blackwaste to clear new land. After detoxifying another 25 acre of land and planting new trees on it, Ash was waiting for Ch'ang O to arrive.
If Ash's predicted was correct, she would came to Bull hills mountains after learning what he did to Garrett and his army.
.....
Moonlight robes were a type of dark robe. This dark robe was woven from the hair of a dark eagle, which was a seventh level spirit beast. Not only did it fly fast, what was most notable about it was its strong defense. Generally, magic and martial art attacks would have no effect on it. Dark eagles were known as the black kings of the sky. They were elegant and a little rebellious.
This robe could defend against fifth level magical attacks, as well as fourth level or less martial art attacks. It was a high level magic item with a market price of twenty five thousand to thirty thousand gold coins.
As for the wind magic staff, it was made from a century old willow tree that had been soaked in the blood of a wind spirit beast. Not only did it increase the strength of wind spells, it also made black magic spells stronger. The entire staff was blue with a crystal set at the head. The market price for this magic item could be about twenty thousand to twenty five thousand gold coins.
Ch'ang O was going to give these as a gift, but the price wasn't low, and reached fifty thousand gold coins. This was equivalent to half the tax of a small territory. It was that Ash became too rich after he destroyed Millers.
The next morning, Ch'ang O, her maid and Anderson were riding in a carriage on their way to Bull hills Mountain. This time they were followed by twenty guards with Sergio as the leader.
Ch'ang O was quite confident that no one in Casa city, including the Purcell clan, would dare to attack them. Because of their identity, if someone dared to attack them, that was tantamount to angering the entire Markey clan.
Right now they were sitting in a carriage that was pulled by snow stallions, while Sergio was riding a third level horse spirit beast. They were moving fast. Normally it would take two days to go from Casa city to Stony Mountain, but for them half a day would be enough.
The moment Ch'ang O left the Casa city, Ash immediately knew it through his shadows.
This result was what Ash wanted to see. In the living room of his manor, Ash smiled as he sat next to Green. "It seems that Ch'ang O is worth cooperating with. Just after she got back from Montenegro Fortress, she is coming to visit us."
Green smiled slightly. "Yes, they seem to actually have quite a bit of conscience. But if we want to further cooperate with them, we still have to test them to see if we could work together."
"I was thinking the same thing. After all, we have too many things that other people would be jealous of. Even if Ch'ang O is credible, there is no guarantee that the people around her won't be greedy. We still have to be careful," Ash said.
Green nodded. "Then shouldn't we go prepare to greet them?"
"Ah, yes, you should get ready."
Shortly before noon, Ch'ang O asked, "Sergio, how much time before we get to Bule hills Mountain?"
While riding his horse next to the carriage, Sergio at once said, "Miss, you can already see the mountain rocks by now. But the mountain has gone through a big change."
"Oh? Really?" Ch'ang O opened the front of the carriage to take a look.
The carriage had two doors, one in the front and one in the back. There were two rows of benches on the left and right side of the carriage, with a small box in the middle, containing things to eat. The box was designed with ice magic, keeping the stuff inside at a lower temperature. There was also a magic lamp in the carriage that was used to heat things. It could be said that this carriage was like a room that was a full six square meters, three meters long and two meters wide. It was big enough that you could sleep comfortably in.
Because of this design, the cost of this carriage was very high. Only those with identity and status would be able to afford it.
Ch'ang O looked out of the carriage and saw blue hills Mountain. However, it didn't have its original look because the whole mountain was surrounded by a cloud of black fog. She then understood why Sergio said that Stony Mountain looked different.
The reason why Ch'ang O knew what Bule Hills Mountain originally looked like was because it had a hot spring. When the merchant that owned Bule hills Mountain wanted to sell it, he mentioned that it had a hot spring that could be used to raise fire fish. Of course, Ch'ang O as a businesswoman wouldn't let such an opportunity pass by, so she came to Bule hills Mountain to examine it. But in the end, although there were a few small fire fish, the hot spring simply didn't have the ability to raise them at a large scale, so she gave up on it.
However, she still remembered what Blue hills Mountain was supposed to look like, but now it was covered in black fog.
Anderson couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Stony Mountain. "To cover up a whole mountain with a blanket of darkness would require a black mage to at least be at the sixth level. It seems like Sasuke really is very powerful."
On the Continent, it was recognized that a black mage that had managed to reach the fifth level was very powerful. That was because black magic was very weird, so almost no one was willing to challenge a fifth or higher level black mage.
Ch'ang O smiled slightly. "Of course, Sasuke's strength is stronger than a sixth level. He was able to deal with the Immortal Mercenary Group. Plus he could summon more than a thousand undead, and each of those undead were very powerful. A sixth level mage couldn't do that, right? Not only that I strongly believe that he is a 9th rank expert. I still remember the Aura he had."
Anderson nodded. "Ah, it seems like his rank should be at the ninth level, otherwise it would be impossible for him to defeat Garan. But then again, what happened to the one hundred assassins of the Purcell Duchy that were with him? It's not very likely that they were all killed. Some of them must have fled. Yet, none of them have come back. If they're not alive, then they would be dead, but no one has found their bodies."
"Those assassins might not be easy to kill, but don't forget that Sasuke could summon more than a thousand undead, so wouldn't those undead thirst for flesh? Or maybe Sasuke used his abilities as a black mage to turn them into undead? It's not impossible for Sasuke to kill Garan's army and bring them back as undead. Plus, Sasuke's undead look very weird. Instead of Undead he calls them his shadows"
Anderson's face changed, then he nodded his head. "That is most likely what happened. It seems that Sasuke is more ruthless than I thought. I am now even more curious about him. I really want to know how his shadows look like?"
The carriage stopped at the bottom of Blue Hills Mountain. Just then the black fog became more volatile, and then it split apart, revealing a road that went up the mountain. In the middle of the road was a man that had a helmet covering his face. Ch'ang O recognized him. He was one of Sasuke's follower.
