Early the next morning, Noah requested an audience with the king. He claimed he wanted to enter seclusion. The king didn't care as he deemed Noah a failure. But of course somehow he was hoping that his third prince will be the fabled late bloomer and not a failure like everyone thinks as there is a very high chance that he will become a Saint because of his superior affinity to the fire Element. If this were to happen their rise to become a tier 1 kingdom will begin. Saints have a very long a very long lifespan of close to 2000 years. He was still 203 years old which was considered young among saints. He had enough time to nurture another Saint if his third son manages to become one. But of course all this will just be wishful thinking if his third son was still a failure after his seclusion. He would have to place his bet on either his second or fourth son which is considered risky as anything could happen. Ranging from death or injury to his sons killing their talent themselves.
Of course Noah didn't know the ambitious thought of his father and even if he did he wouldn't really have cared. He had given up on getting his father's approval and was concentrated on pleasing his teacher so that he won't abandoned. He already started to see his master as a father figure. So after receiving his father's nod of approval, he walked out. It was time for his planned 5 year training with the old till he becomes 15 and becomes old enough to go to the academy. For the 4years after he had checked his talent at age 6, the standard age, he had been treated with contempt and disdain by everyone. His guards follow him as a mere formality and he was assigned the worst of the guards in the Palace. The Palace maids treat him with very little respect. All this happening under the eyes of his father. This made him feel little attachment to the Palace. After he walked out of the throne room he shut himself in. At least that is what everyone believed.
After he shut himself in his residence he began talking to the old man while being anxious and excited.
"Senior today is the day. What are we going to do".
"We're going to first get you a right hand man. You are a swordsman. You are a close combat fighter. You need someone who can help you from the back, an archer or preferably a mage as they are more versatile and can cause an area of effect damage. I already scanned the whole world with my soul sense. I have discovered an underground auction in the one of the tier 1 kingdom. That's where we are going to get your right hand man ".
After the old man finished telling him their first objective he wrapped him with his soul essence. He knew that the king might discover sooner or later that the third prince was gone but he didn't really care. The king won't be able to discover them even if he walked pass them. After that he took Noah into the air. Of course as this was the first time Noah was flying, at such speed at that, he was given a big scare but then that turned into excitement as this was the first time he was having such thrill. The old man was gratified as even though Noah acts more mature for his age and works really hard, he still knows fun that 10 year old children should know. They got to the kingdom in an hour as the old man wanted Noah to have fun a little longer.
"Senior what kinda talent do you think we should get?", Noah asked.
"Anyone is enough. I have the assurance to turn anyone into a superior talent. You will not be able to afford the slaves with high talent anyway as this is one of the biggest tier 1 kingdom and its a far cry from what you know. Your 500 gold coins is too small in this kingdom even though it could mean you're rich in your kingdom".
This made Noah reevaluate his understanding of the world. Maybe they were some treasures that could not be bought with gold. In this world bronze, silver and gold were being used for your everyday transaction. 100 bronze is 1 silver, 100 silver is 1 gold. The auctioneer came out and was ready to start the action.
"Hello dinistiguished guest of the Rollar auction house . I, your auctioneer is here to make sure that everything goes smoothly. Please follow the rules of the auction house and refrain from fighting in the building. I will advise everyone to please buy what your Strength can protect.
Alright, the first product of the evening is a fire starter pill. It is the best pill for those who just started the path of a mage. It provides a stable foundation as it helps absorb fire psyons easily".
The old man ordered Noah to forget about buying any pill. Pills will leave toxins in the body so natural treasures are the best. Moreover the pills won't be that good. The only thing they were here to buy was a sword and a slave or two. So the pill session passed. Noah was amazed at the prices in which pills were sold. One sold for 990 gold coins which was almost double his savings
