Ch'ang O bowed to Ash. "Mister Sasuke, compared to your life-saving kindness, this is nothing. I feel happy that I haven't disturbed you with my abrupt visit today."
Ash gave a slight chuckle. "Miss Ch'ang O is too polite. Please come in."
They all went into the living room, where they sat on two sides so they could face each other. Meg brought a pot of tea and gave each person a cup. Ch'ang O didn't pay attention to the tea, but instead noted the Book of Spell that Meg was carrying.
Ch'ang O and Anderson were well-informed people, so naturally they would recognize the Book of Spell, but they didn't think that a servant of Ash would actually be holding it.
Ash noted where the two's eyes were looking, but he didn't say anything about it. "This is a small place, and we don't really have anything to entertain you with. Please, won't you two try our tea?"
The two recovered and politely took a sip from their cups. Ash looked at Andersonand asked, "Miss Ch'ang O, who is this?"
"Sorry, how rude of me," Ch'ang O said. "This is my housekeeper, but I respect him like an elder. He is my Grandpa Anderson."
Anderson stood up, and then he bowed to Ash. "I would like to thank Mister Ash for rescuing Miss Ch'ang O. She is like family to me."
Ash waved it off. "It's not worth mentioning. Sit down, Mister Anderson."
Anderson sat back down, while Ch'ang O looked at Ash and asked, "I have a question, but I don't know if it iss improper for me to speak."
"What do you want to ask me, Miss Ch'ang?"
Ch'ang O looked at Meg. "Mister Sasuke, your maid is holding the Book of Spells. But where did it come from?"
Ash gave a slight chuckle. "Oh, I just took it from someone who wanted to come here and make trouble. It's not something I can do anything with, so I just rewarded my maid with it."
Ch'ang O and Anderson carefully glanced at Meg. Those two could be considered experts, so they were able to detect a strong wave of magic fluctuating off of her. It seems that she wasn't anything less than a sixth level mage.
The two couldn't help but feel surprised. Ever since they came to Blue hills Mountain, they were overcome by too many surprises. Whether it was a whole mountain covered by black magic, the courteous weird looking undeads (Shadows) that could understand people, the large number of fire fish, or a maid that was also a sixth level mage, all of these things surprised them.
Ch'ang O and Anderson could see the glimmer in each other's eyes. Anderson paused for a moment to take a deep breath, then he turned to Ash and asked, "Mister Sasuke, what happened to the man who attacked you?"
Ash smiled. "Haven't you seen that he has become my servant?"
Although they were kind of expecting it, to hear Ash tell them, they still felt very surprised. "Mister Sasuke, are you saying that you made a light mage your servant?" Anderson was well-informed, so naturally he knew that it was difficult for a light mage to be turned into an undead. There was a high probability of failure, but even if they succeeded, it would only become the lowest level undead. Did Garrett, an eighth level light mage, really become an undead? If Garrett didn't become an undead, then how did Ash get his hands on the Book of Spell?
In the Continent, Garrett was a famous light mage. It wasn't just because he was at the eighth level, he was also best known as someone who was specialized in fighting black mages. As long as Garrett finds a black mage, he would challenge him. Those black mages would only have a little chance of surviving once Garrett sets his sights on them. Because of this, Garrett gained a nickname: Black Mage Killer.
Garrett had been able to win so many battles that many black mages feared him. Apart from being an eighth level light mage, he also had the Book of Spell, which could seal a lot of light spells. A lot of black mages had died because of the Book of Spell.
Ash smiled at Anderson, then he turned to Green. "Go call Gamma."
Green saluted, then he turned and walked out. Ch'ang O and Anderson gave Ash a puzzled look, but Ash just smiled and didn't say anything as he took a sip of tea. Soon footsteps were heard, and Green came back in with an shadow behind him.
When Anderson and Ch'ang O saw that undead, they were stunned!
This was the first time Ch'ang O and Anderson saw such a strong shadow.
Although the shadows was black it had some kind white light radiating from its body. It's like a black shadow in white.
Shadow that gave off a holy feeling? Were the gods living in hell?
Ch'ang O and Anderson were stunned by the shadow that was standing behind Green. They really didn't know what to say to describe this undead.
Ash smiled at the white shadow. "Gamma, say hello to Miss Ch'ang O and Mister Anderson."
Like in a traditional aristocratic ceremony, Gamma extended his greetings to them like a gentleman. He was so graceful about it that for a moment, Ch'ang O and Anderson forgot that he was an undead, and they greeted him back. Afterwards, they both felt a little embarrassed about it.
Curious, Ch'ang O asked, "Mister Sasuke, you mean to say that this undead was Garrett ?"
"He's no longer Garrett. In the future, the world will only know him as Gamma," Ash said. "Okay Gamma, you can leave now."
Gamma bowed to them, then turned and walked away.
Ch'ang O stared at Gamma's departing back, then she faced Ash. "Mister Sasuke, what level of undead is Gamma?"
Ash thought about it. "he's at the eighth level"
Ch'ang O and Anderson saw a glimmer of shock in each other's eyes. They were very clear on the fact that a black mage turning a dead man into a high level undead was very difficult.
"Mister Ash, does Gamma still have his memories from when he was alive?" Anderson quickly asked.
Ash nodded his head. " Gamma remembers everything and experience about this past life"
Ch'ang O and Anderson can guess that Ash's Shadows are evolution products of undead spirits. Ch'ang O and Anderson can sense it, Shadows have high concentration death Qi in their bodies compared to undead spirits.
Ch'ang O and Anderson didn't really understand, how could an undead or shadow be able to use light spells? They really wanted to know what secret law that Ash had discovered.
It was very clear that a lot of black mages had been searching for ways to turn their low level undeads into high level ones, but after so many years of research, they had made little progress. If those black mages were to know that Ash had a way to do this, they would all go crazy.
Ch'ang and Anderson was very curious about the shadows of Ash.
The two looked at Ash, not understanding why he was telling them this momentous thing. But then they saw how Green, Ash and Meg were watching them with a determined look.
Suddenly, Anderson was able to figure it out, and he quickly said, "Please rest assured, Mister Sasuke. No word of what we see or hear will leak from us. I guarantee this on the honor of the Markey clan." Ch'ang O quickly nodded, agreeing with what Anderson had said.
Ash smiled. "The two of you don't really need to make such an oath. To tell you the truth, although I can increase the level of an shadows, it only works under precise conditions. It is simply impossible for others to learn how to do it. I am the only one who can turn dead into shadows."
Anderson and Ch'ang O certainly didn't believe him, but they both nodded. After that, Ch'ang O waved at maid, Nier and directed her to walk out of the room, then Ch'ang O turned to Ash. "Today, we have bothered you, Mister Sasuke, because I wanted to thank you for saving my life. So we prepared two small gifts. I hope that you will accept them."
Soon, Nier ran back in while holding two long boxes. One of them had a dark robe, which Ch'ang O took out. "Mister Sasuke, this is a moonlight robe, which is a fairly decent equipment for a black mage." Having said that, she presented it to Ash.
Ash stood up, looked over the robe, and then he nodded. "Then I'll be polite, Miss Ch'ang O." He took the moonlight robe and gave it to Green to hold.
When Ch'ang O saw Ash take the dark robe, she couldn't help but feel relieved. She then grabbed the other long box and gently opened it, revealing a magic staff. "Mister Ch'ang O, this is a wind element magic staff, but because it has been soaked in the blood of a wind spirit beast, it can also strengthen black magic as well. I hope that you will accept this as well."
Ash laughed. "Miss Ch'ang O sure is determined. To be honest, this staff is of no use to me, but my maid just so happens to be a wind mage. I have been searching for an appropriate magic staff for her, so Miss Ch'ang O's help has just come at the right time." He picked up the magic staff and gave it to Meg.
Ch'ang Odidn't think that Ash would give this staff straight to Meg, but she didn't say anything about it. After all, technically Ash still accepted the magic staff.
Meg had a happy face as she held onto the wind magic staff. "Thank you, Master," she said to Ash.
Ash nodded, then he turned to Ch'ang O. "Since Miss gave us these two gifts, of course I can also not be stingy. We should head into the dining room for lunch. Please follow me, Miss Ch'ang O, Mister Anderson, and young lady." Having said that, he led the way.
Ch'ang O and Anderson politely followed behind Ash. Soon a few people arrived at the large dining room, where Eva had prepared lunch.
When Eva saw Ash come in, she quickly smiled and said, "Master, the food is ready."
Ash nodded, then he said, "Miss Ch'ang O, Mister Anderson, young lady, please sit down. Here we're not like those big aristocracy where they are too many rules. We all sit together to eat."
Although Ch'ang O and Anderson were a little against this curious practice, they didn't say anything. They both sat down along with Nier.
With Meg's help, Eva brought out the meals for everyone. Today's food was very rich: roasted lighting rabbit with some fire fish, and vegetables that had been produced by the space. Eva went all out for this lunch.
