Ch'ang O, Anderson, and her maid Nier were sitting in the carriage as they went down Blue hills Mountain. They weren't talking.
A moment later, Ch'ang O opened the window and saw Sergio who was riding next to the carriage. "Sergio, have you eaten yet?"
Sergio was surprised, not knowing what Ch'ang O meant. Although he was her chief guard, Ch'ang O had never before cared about whether or not he had eaten. But since she asked, he immediately nodded. "Yes, Miss, back there."
"What did you eat?"
Again, Sergio couldn't help but feel surprised. "Mister Sasuke ordered the undead to send us food. There was pie, rabbits, and some vegetables I had never seen before."
"How did it taste?"
"It tasted good. There were a lot of meat and vegetables. The magic in the vegetables were very strong. As for the dish with the magic radishes, its magic was several times stronger than the ones we sell in our store."
Ch'ang O nodded, then she left the window and looked towards Anderson. "Grandpa, what do you think?"
"It's unfathomable. Sasuka must be someone with a lot of influence. He's probably the spokesman for the big force that's supporting him. But what's strange is that the large forces in the Continent usually have their own distribution network. So why did they specifically come to us?" Anderson shook his head, but then he answered his own question, "No, although we have some enemies from the heirs in our clan, we can't be considered Sasuke's real enemy. After all, our strength is too small. Compared to the entire Markey clan, we can't be regarded as a threat. That must have been within their calculations. Since Sasuke is able to raise so much fire fish, he must have wanted to work with someone that wouldn't take that much effort to destroy, in case they might become an enemy that would covet what he has."
Ch'ang O nodded. "Ah, yes, from Sasuke's words, you could tell that his territory isn't small since it could produce so many things, like oil and fire fish. I can't really think of a place in the Continent that could raise that much fire fish. Even if there was such a territory that could do that, why would Sasuke want to cooperate with us?"
Anderson was frowning. "I really can not say. He said that he was researching plants, which doesn't seem fake. If he wasn't studying plants, then it would be impossible for him to come up with magic radish seeds or lighting rabbit or fire fish of that quality, and vegetables that I had never seen before. Did you notice it when we ate today? Even his servants were eating the fire fish. Apparently, in their eyes, fire fish aren't rare.
Again, Ch'ang O nodded. "When I said that he would become an ally of the Markey clan, he was unwilling, and that he would only form an alliance with us. That's not the only thing that's strange. Supposedly, if there was a black mage that powerful, he should have been well-known among the important figures in the Continent, yet I had never heard of him before. Oddly enough, at his side he has a high level warrior, a maid that is also a mage that is not of a low level, and a very powerful shadow light mage. This man has too many secrets, right? He himself is a 9th level black mage."
"Indeed, there must be a reason why Sasuke has an eighth level warrior by his side. If I fought against him one on one, I'm afraid I can't tell if I would win or lose. Not only that, his maid is at least a sixth level mage, and at such a young age. She definitely has a lot of magical potential. Even his cook is a high level mage. With those types of servants, and the power to summon more than a thousand undead, Sasuke's strength certainly is not small," Anderson said.
"Anyway, it now appears that Sasuke doesn't mean to do anything with us other than conduct business. If he really can provide such high quality magic radishes, Lighting rabbits, fire fish, then that's very good for us, just as long as we are careful. After all, we don't want him as enemy. We need a powerful ally."
Anderson nodded. "Yes, we have to be careful. I suspect that Sasuke has a shady identity. He isn't just a simple black mage. Even when he eats, his every move so elegant and mannered."
Ch'ang O smiled slightly. "But whatever his true identity is, it doesn't matter, just as long as there is no hostility."
"Miss is right. No matter who he is, as long as he isn't hostile to us, we can cooperate with him. But we must still pay attention to this man. Getting so many fire fish to Blue hills Mountain is not an easy task, yet he was able to do it so that those who were watching him were totally unaware. This in itself showed his strength since he was able to get a spatial item. Even his spatial is albe to store living beings. You should know how terrifying ability is this. In the whole continent, Sasuke is only person capable of such thing. Not only that, but he also clearly knew our whereabouts. It seems that he could be arranging for someone to watch us, making sure that we don't leak anything. We must be careful."
Ch'ang was also shocked when she saw Ash using Spaital items." Grandpa, I remember. The first time I met Sasuke, his eyes was glowing, a blue light. But today eyes was normal."
Anderson thought for a moment and replied." Miss, Sasuke is too mysterious and talented. You can tell that his age is less than 20 yet he is a 9th rank expert. This fact alone makes Sasuke number one genius in the whole continent."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Anderson. I know what I'm doing. As long as we don't try to fight him, he will maintain his cooperation with us. It'll be fine. You might not see it, but Mister Sasuke is a good man."
Anderson started smiling. "Is that so? Oh, I think that he took a fancy to you, Miss, otherwise why would he want to cooperate with us?"
Ch'ang O blushed. "What nonsense are you speaking, Grandpa Anderson?"
Anderson couldn't help but laugh, which made Ch'ang O's face turn even more red. Ch'ang O had a good impression of Ash. After all, he was kind enough to help her, yet he was also so mysterious. In addition to feeling gratitude, Ch'ang O also felt a hint of curiosity. When a woman was curious about a man, it wouldn't be long until her heart falls.
Ch'ang O had made up her mind to keep up their cooperation with Ash. The strength he had exhibited was not weak, and was comparable to a large clan. That was why she dared to cooperate with him.
....
" Finally, they are gone." Ash transformed back to his original self. Honestly, Ash didn't wanted to use transformation Jutsu, but he had to do it. After all, the whole continent considered Ash and the Anderson clan to be dead. If they reappears in Purple Star empire, there is a high chance that many powerful forces will hunt him down.
" Master, you did excellent work." Green removed the armor he was wearing. " Grandpa, let's enter the space to discuss about future of our clan."
