Traveling to a party town is really boring. The travel time is 5 hours. It would be less boring if we had music, but all I have is an angry advisor staring at me.
I started singing 'the wheels on the carriage go round and round, round and round, round and round, the advisor on the carriage goes stare stare stare stare till I die '
Blade said,' if you sing that song one more time, I will take this chain and choke you'
Scary, he is furious. I think it's because he has a lot of paperwork to do.
Well, I got bored, so I thought I could take a nap.
Two hours later.
(The carriage stops)
I woke up when the carriage stopped, Blade was looking confused he asked me 'why did we stop'
I said, 'we are making a quick stop to honor someone called God'
Blade got out and asked, 'when did you become so spiritual'
I said 'I did not turn spiritual to be honest I hate coming to this temple, we came here to make a magic bond'
Blade realized the trouble he is in, he tried to run, but the guards caught him (they are very good)
Blade screamed, 'I am not coming'. He was really struggling to get out of their grasp.
Poor guy, I felt sorry for torturing him every day.
I walked and looked at the temple. It was big, white, beautiful, gold, and holy.
When I went inside it was decorated beautifully, the walls had murals of battles and there were some murals and statues of God.
They decorated it with pure gold and the finest wood in the entire kingdom.
This whole temple is very expensive, I wish I could sell this to solve some money problems which I have been facing.
The temple is one of the highest-earning organizations in the entire cattle town (Casentonia) but they don't pay taxes.
If they had paid their taxes properly instead of saying holy money can't be used to pay taxes, I would have no difficulties at all.
After I came in, Blade came, I told the guards to leave, and they did as I said.
Blade released himself from their constraints and gave me a look which literally meant you are dead.
To answer that, I just smiled at him.
Everyone working on the temple came and greeted me and Blade. I gave them the offering which I brought; they took it away.
After a few moments, someone called the head priest. He looked very old and had long gray hair and a beard.
He looked like Santa Claus, he came and grabbed my hand and said 'it's very nice to meet you Steven, and do you mind if I ask what brings you here
He called me Steven; Which surprised me because since I came to this kingdom everyone usually calls me your highness or your majesty except Blade.
I said 'I came here to make a magic bond with my advisor' he looked at Blade and smiled then he gripped my hand strongly and looked me in the eye we had a few seconds of awkward eye contact.
Then he let go of my hand and said' oh Steven your power seems stronger than before, but your MANA level is in the level of someone who has not learned to control their magic, that's very mysterious'
I did not know what that means, but I understood that he was expecting an explanation, so I said 'The spirit realm is a very mysterious place, perhaps it made some changes to my personality and my body'
He ruffed my hair with his hand and said, 'of course god's creations are very mysterious'
I smiled at him and said, 'of course, then he grabbed Blade's hand just like he did to me.
The High Priest looked at Blade and asked, 'what house are you from' Blade face became a little sad, he said 'I am not royal your holiness'
The priest let go of Blade's hand after he said that, but he grabbed it again and closed his eyes.
I had two messages.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The High Priest is using level maximum skill appraisal on Blade.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The High Priest is using level maximum skill peer on Blade.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I understood what appraisal was but what was peer; I had other questions in mind too, why did that old man use two skills at a maximum level on Blade while he did nothing for me.
And why did he do that, is it because Blade is a commoner, well if he did that because he's a commoner isn't supposed to be rude?
Is this old man good or bad? Why is he treating me like a child?
I am really curious; the old man finally opened his eyes after a few minutes he let go of Blade's hand and looked at Blade and asked 'are you red eye's son' Blade looked confused
He said, 'I am, after that answer, he smiled at Blade and said 'you have a great power inside you 'and looked at me said 'Steven you have a weird way of choosing your comrades, I think you will be greater than your father'
I said 'maybe I will surpass him' he said 'well you both came here to get a magic bond so will begin by explaining the rules'
I was happy when he said that, he said 'A magic bond is something which is forged between two people in the presence of God and his servant when you forge a bond with your advisor, he will not betray you, but the bond will be destroyed when he leaves the job, are you willing to make a bond with your advisor Steven'
I said 'yes, I am, he said 'perfect I will just get ready some things for the ritual'
Blade and I started laughing when he left the room, I said 'that was stressful' he said 'yes'
I asked him, 'who is red eye'
He said, 'he is my father and red-eye is not his real name, it is a nickname'
I said, 'thank goodness it was a nickname if it was a real name, it would have been so dumb'
He said, 'I will kill you if you joke about my father '
Still scary, I said, 'we are finally getting a magic bond'
He said, 'this is the worst day of my life
