"Same system that's in my body right now….., so if Nova made this system then how the hell did Pato get his hands on it?" This question was literally burning in Gillian's mind.
But he could not walk across the street and ask the man who was telling these to children..
"I don't mean to ask but, why are we going by leg?" He asked as he limped forward, pretending to be hurt…
"So because I'm a general doesn't mean that I'll have to take carriage and a bunch of soldiers to follow me anywhere I'm going. I'm was once a normal civilian like everyone you see here, so…"
"Enough with the prep talk, how long is the palace from here?" Gillian asked as he adjusted his hands behind his back and started to walk straight.
"Distance? We're already hear, why would the general lived far from the palace?" Akemi asked confused as she greeted the elderly man passing by.
"Why would the general lived so close to the palace? Or are you perhaps still in love with Elvis?"
"We're you always this chatty? I don't recall you being this chatty back at your village, now shut up and hurry along!!" She said with a change of accent.
"Your badge please?" The soldier at the gate asked, since it was an event only for noble family, it'll be obvious he needed a pass to get in.
"I need a badge to get in?" Gillian asked dipping his hands in his pocket and bringing out a fake badge..
The soldier took the badge and threw it inside the nearby device.
This was called the ecosystem of identity, the person going through will present a badge, and the badge will be dipped in the large device nearby…
If the person is who he say he is, the device will let you through, but if you're perhaps lying, it'll sound a loud alarm calling the soldiers identity to an imposter..
But that's only on rare occasions, because people rarely lie here in the capital City.
DONG!! DONG!! DONG!!
The device started to ring loudly, alerting the soldiers nearby…
"This man is an imposter, arrest him" the captain said..
"Hold on a sec, so you're telling me that this tiny little thing was able to detect that my badge is fake?" Gillian asked as he changed his accent and began to speak like a noble man
"Oh God!!" Akemi sigh hitting on her forehead..
"Do you know who I am? I'm the son of…"
"He's my new fiancee, come on let's go.." Akemi said as she went through…
Strangers weren't allowed in the palace that easily because of a recent attack.
"Your fiancee… greetings sir...
"Gillian, you can call me Gillian"
"Greetings Sir Gillian, sorry for not recognizing you so soon.."
"No worries, I'll take my leave then, he said as he hurried along, trying to catch up with Akemi who was long gone!!"
"Hold on a sec, Gillian say panting.
On my way in I saw a banner by the side, by any chance, are there special titles blacksmith's are called?"
"Yes.. depending on the Stage, now keep your mouth shut…
These people detest noise.." Akemi said…
She made a signal to the man standing at the watch tower and the door was opened to her, she and Gillan was then allowed to pass through..
"How bout we sit at the back, Gillian who suggested this was already sitting at the back, so of course she'd have no choice but to join him, after all she had already declared him his fiancee..
"Can we get some beef? And a bottle of red wine along side it? Akemi said as she sat down..
"Why did you call me your fiancee? And why did you and Elvis break up, or separate… whatever you guys call it..
He seems like a nice guy…!!"
"Did Elvis help you with something? Although I've only known you for…..1, 21 let's just say a day. I know enough that you won't hype someone without a reason.." you'll know soon!!
His tune suddenly changed, he folded his hands and rested his cheek on it, then he had the stern cold look on his face and eyes….
"Alright then, let's begin…
Staring to test their black smith level, we have Sir Steve St.Patrick…
The commentator introduced him..
"Now, we just like we have 5 stages of black smith… so do we also have 5 title bestow upon you for each stage you proceed to….
Veteran Stage–Sire
Pro Stage–Your Grace
Master Stage–His royal grace
Moonlight Stage–Lord
Sun Wheel Stage–His Holiness
So stick this in the back of your mind, I won't tell you twice." Akemi whispered to him.
The first guy went, Steve was his man..
He put his hands on the star shaped emblem and the stone lit up…
Just like they were 5 stages of black smith, each stage of the stone determine your stage In black smith…,
The fire lit up till the third stage, hence, he was still in pro stage…
"A rare talent, you've hereby assigned to work under the general Blacksmith as the Chief… I pronounce you His Royal Grace.." the king said as he made a slight touch on his head…
They were about 20 people in line before him, but at last his name was called out..
"Sir Gillian Rolthier, please proceed to the statue" the commentator Said…
"So this was what Elvis helped you with, he helped you sneaked your name inside the list.." Akemi said as she slowly turned her head towards Gillian..
"Well, I guess you just have to see how it all turns out!!"
He walked towards the descending order of chairs towards the statue and dipped his hands on the star shaped emblem…
Damn, the system had truly improved his skills….
About the 3 months before, Gillian came here for the black smith test with his master Pato…
He was ranked the lowest Blacksmith ever and was ridiculed by every other Black Smith there.
The statue didn't even lit up to the first stage…
Without further thought, the king threw him and his master out…
He couldn't bear the disgrace and the main reason the he could not apply for the test by himself was this..
Seems like Gillian knew more than he said he did.
The fire lit up till the 4th stage, the moonlight stage, having a system that can solitiarize stuff and made you improve greatly, who wouldn't like that….
The king fell from his chair as the fire lit, there he is, the talent they've all be looking for.. standing right in their face with something else in mind….
REVENGE.
