In the inn, razor could be seen watching Laston with a perplexed expression having no idea of what was going on, or knowledge of what to do, already he had applied medicine to his wounds,
But he heard a voice, "Young boy your friend is fine, you can go about your daily activity. Razor looked at Laston, he was asleep but a faint green aura was exuding from his body.
He then asked the seemingly unknown voice, though shaken up due to fear, "Are you the consciousness in his sword?"
"I go by the name Castor, and yes I am one of the consciousness that dwells in the sword, master wouldn't want you worrying over him, so scram!" He said raising his voice in the end which made Razor jerk back in fear, which made Castor laugh, "Ha-ha-ha, humans."
Meanwhile, in the sword space, Lexy could be seen starring daggers at Magnus who had just made a statement she didn't like, "You think it's easy to take care of a being you know nothing about?!"
"We know nothing about humans since we were born, we have been in a desolate land, when we finally left there! We were put in a concealment formation, only getting gleams whenever a human picked the sword."
"He is our first master, but I don't know any way to help him, and he doesn't seem to know much either and ...
Turning to Magnus she suddenly had an idea, she then spoke in an authoritative tone, Magnus I believe you haven't paid any type of rent for housing your soul in our space so now you either pay up or I devour your soul tearing it into a thousand pieces.
Magnus gulped hard, he had never seen this side of Lexy who was known to be the cool-headed one among the trio.
She then continued, "Since you don't have money or anything of value, we would implore on your experience as a human, your job will be to oversee his growth."
If you slack even a bit;" a tremendous aura erupted from her as she continued, "I will shatter your soul," after that statement she quickly retracted her aura.
With a stiff voice Magnus replied, "Even if you didn't say that, I never intended to see such talent go to waste."
Hearing this she continued, "You're to watch him around the clock as his guardian."
"Hey! I see what you are doing, this is a burden transfer," Magnus responded seemingly realizing what was going on, "well, you don't have a choice, my house ... my rules.
"Splinter won't like this idea," Magnus retorted prompting a pause from Lexy, "mmmm, we will make arrangements to that effect," she quickly responded.
With a defeated smile he turned to Laston, "I never had the time to take a disciple during my active days, but as my disciple, you are to prove you have the best master, "you don't have to worry about that, I won't let you down." Laston responded with a firm gaze.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Fortune Gate City, a hooded figure could be seen, walking through the district of the city only stopping in front of a store, then proceeding to enter.
Immediately a certain elder laid eyes on him, and he hurriedly chased all his customers away, "elder blitz, it has been a long time," the hooded figure said as he took of his cloak revealing his face.
"Chief Zain what brings you to my humble abode," Elder Blitz responded.
"Stop the facade blitz," Zain replied.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha, okay, okay so what brings you here today Zain"
"That sword, I am here to claim it," Blitz could only smile, every time you have a breakthrough to a new realm you come to claim that sword yet you always get burnt"
Zain could only smile at his remark, "That sword is a very special rarity it doesn't just have one consciousness, not two, but three and a human whose soul is trapped in there."
On hearing this Blitz wore a serious expression one of shock, "Why are you only telling me this now!!" Elder Blitz roared in anger
"I could not tell you, up until now! Anytime I arrived you just take me to the sword, then when I get charred and unconscious, you call the elders to come take me away."
Calming down a little elder Blitz continued, "That's because your father; ordered me not to interfere with you in any way, so I stopped paying attention whenever you came around."
"The only reason I spared you a glance was because I heard he was in closed cultivation."
'Now I am in a bad mood, not only did you make me chase my customers away, now I know I have been ripped over'. "Well, three months ago that sword was bought and claimed by a core one brat."
What?! You mean a core one brat claimed that sword, how was he able to overcome that beast?
Blitz could be seen laughing in the corner at the frustrated Zain, who was acting as though his parent was killed.
Zain calmed down a moment later, "do you know anything about this boy? his name? his family or background? Anything at all?"
"I think his name is La-aaaaaa, No, I don't know anything about him, he just had enough coins to buy the sword, so I didn't mind." Elder Blitz lied with a stern face almost spilling the beans.
"What!!! You mean you gave a total stranger a sword of that caliber and potential without caring to know his background" Zain said gritting his teeth in frustration, finding it hard to believe that elder Blitz in all his wisdom could make such a mistake.
"The boy seems to be talented, somehow he can pull out his spiritual energy even though his core is sealed, when I saw this happen in front of my eyes, I was amazed.
He also found the sword on his own and he claimed the sword was calling out to him, that was enough to tell me he was fated to have that weapon, so don't blame me for not being talented enough," Elder Blitz retorted with a mocking smile.
"Even if I couldn't wield that sword, you could have just held him long enough to be convinced to join the sect"
"Well, what could a weak elder like me do"
On hearing that statement, Zain couldn't take anymore, "Shut the hell up!! You! A fucking warlord and you tell me you cannot keep a Single boy at bay while you contact me?!"
"You know that I am more than capable of doing that, but I dislike holding people against their will, I think I owe the sect that much, MMMM," he sighed while stroking his chin as though he was lost in thought.
"I will give you a chance to find him, I have been on his tail since he left this store, he is still currently in this town, but currently unconscious."
"He intends to enroll in the military academy so that would be your last stop, make sure to recruit him, if you don't, then it's your fault," Elder Blitz said shrugging both his shoulders less concerned about the outcome.
'Now you made me go back on my words to those kids, at least I didn't out rightly hand them over, it is up to you to find him but I highly doubt he will use that sword in the trials' he thought inwardly as he stared at Zain.
"You should know that the Phoenix sword sect has encountered this child and without a doubt, if his spotted In the trials, they will do all in their power to recruit him."
I can only wish you luck with this final hint, "be observant enough, and you will find him."
