Chapter 3 - Liu Weizhe

Outside Belgrave

***

"Young master, We are almost to Belgrave."

Inside a small wooden carriage was a young boy. He was the young master of the Yusen organization. Even though Yusen wasn't a large organization, they still had a decent amount of influence in the area.

The young master of Yusen was none other than Lie Weizhe. From the young age of ten years old, Lie Weizhe has been practicing magic. Since Weizhe was the young master of Yusen, he had plenty of resources to grow.

At the age of fifteen, Lie Weizhe officially became an initiate. Becoming an initiate at the age of fifteen wasn't anything too special in the capital. Though Yusen wasn't large and not near the capital, thus it was a great achievement.

The reason Lie Weizhe was heading to Belgrave was to meet Lord Belgrave, a rank 4 wizard. Weizhe was hoping to learn a couple of things from the famous rank 4 wizard.

Under normal circumstances no one was allowed to personally meet Lord Belgrave. However, the Yusen pulled some strings and used a couple of favors for their young master to meet Lord Belgrave.

"Young master, we've arrived at Belgrave."

Lie Weizhe quickly moved from his seat and pushed his face against the window. Looking out, he saw hundreds of people going in and out of the large Northern gate.

Multiple guards with spears stood on each side of the gate, watching everyone that went in and out. To enter Belgrave normally, all you would need is a simple identification card. With the help of Yusen, Lie Weizhe was able to receive a Belgrave badge.

The Belgrave badge was a badge given to the strong and wealthy. The badge symbolized either a wealthy person or a strong wizard. The man at the front of the carriage brought out the Belgrave badge and showed it to the guards.

At first the guards couldn't believe what they were seeing. To the guards, it wasn't often that they would see a Belgrave badge. The soldiers identifying the badge quickly brought it to their superior officer.

"Sir! We've just been giving a Belgrave badge, could you please check if it is real?"

A man in iron armor looked at the soldier before taking the badge out of his hand. After the man looked at it for sometime did he speak,

"This is definitely real, but do you really think anyone would fake a Belgrave badge?"

The soldier looked down to the ground and bowed, "I'm sorry sir, I-I just haven't seen one before."

The man shook his head, "Just give it back to them and let them through."

"Y-Yes Sir!"

The soldier turned around and went back to the carriage.

"Everything checks out! You are free to go into Belgrave."

After receiving the badge, the carriage entered Belgrave. A couple of places behind the carriage was a youth with a black cloak covering his body.

"Found you."

***

Once inside of Belgrave, the carriage driver moved towards one of the well-known inns, Cadwell Inn. Cadwell Inn was one of the more popular Inns inside of Belgrave. Though it was quite expensive to normal people, it was used by the rich and famous.

Unlike normal inns, there was security covering the whole place. Along with anything a guest would need. Butlers for each room, along with a training area for each person.

Once the carriage reached the inn did Lie Weizhe finally exit the carriage.

"Young Master, We are finally here. I'm going to go inside and check us in. Please stay around here." The old man left Lie Weizhe to head inside to check in.

Lie Weizhe stretched his body after sitting for more than ten hours.

Sigh…

"Hey!"

Lie Weizhe turned around to look at the person who spoke. After turning around he saw a girl running towards him. She was wearing brown leather armor, with a satchel to her side.

Lie Weizhe awkwardly raised his hand, waving at the improaching girl.

"H-Hi..."

The girl quickly made her way towards Lie Weizhe.

"Hey! You look new around here… Do you need a guide?"

Lie Weizhe being mostly kept inside of Yusen city his whole life wasn't very good at interacting with others, especially ones his age.

"U-uh. I-I just got here. I-I'm-"

"Young Master!"

Lie Weizhe let out a loud sigh of relief when he heard "Young Master". Turning towards the voice, Weizhe saw the old man walking over.

"Who are you?" Asked the old carriage driver. The girl looked at the old man and then back at Lie Weizhe.

The girl's expression quickly changed from being cheerful to disgust.

"Ah. You're some rich kid." After speaking, she turned and left.

The old man being completely unfazed by what just happened spoke to the young master.

"Young Master, there are going to be those types of people everywhere. Our room is ready, let's go and unpack."

Lie Weizhe was slightly confused about the situation, but nodded and went into the inn.

***

"Alrighty… I spoke to the stupid rich kid. Now give me my money."

The youth in the black cloak nodded and handed the girl ten silver coins. Inside of the Frey Kingdom the currency was 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin; 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin, and 1000 gold coins = 1 platinum coin.

The girl's face lit up as she saw the youth give her ten silver coins just to talk to someone.

"Hey! If you need anything else I'll-"

"No. That will be all."

"But I need-"

"I said No." A large killing aura erupted from the youth's body and covered the girl. She wiggled around and she felt like she couldn't breath under such force.

"Leave." After taking back his aura did the girl finally leave.

"Ah. Little Weizhe, You haven't changed at all. Still as awkward as before..."
