Chapter 102: Ten Leap Spell
"What is this premade spell about anyway?" Aur asked curiously.
"Well, it's better for me to show you rather than you seeing it yourself." The old man said with a smile on his face.
"Please wait here."
The old man walked inside the store, leaving Aur behind.
Aur didn't move from his place as he stood patiently. Before long, the old man came carrying a glass jar which had a strange pattern floating in the air.
Aur's crimson pupils shone from the white hue emitted from the pattern as he looked at the old man curiously.
"This is." your-chapter-source-MvLeMpYr
"Open the cap of the jar and catch this spell, young master." The smile widened.
"Okay." Aur tentatively opened the jar and touched the pattern. The moment he did, the pattern instantly entered his mental space and floated just like the elemental spell, nonchalantly like all spells.
"Which spell is this?"
"This is a 'tier one: ten leap' spell, young master." The butler said with some heartache.
"Don't use it right now, young master. This is a speed-type spell."
Aur carefully looked at the spell in his mental space. "A speed type, huh?"
"Its function is relatively simple as well. It makes your step ten steps. This is my sincere apology for being rude, young master." The old man said with a bow.
"Okay." Aur nodded his head with reluctance and took the pouch before leaving the shop.
The old man looked at the fleeting figure of Aur with a strange expression.
"Why do I feel like I have been scammed instead?" He muttered.
As Aur left the shop, a smile graced his lips for a moment, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"This is how people make others beg to take their crystals." He snickered.
"When you don't have power, making money is hard; however, when you become stronger yourself, money just becomes a piece of paper or, in this context, stone."
Aur slowly made his way through the crowd again, exiting the inner area of the academy.
….
"They should be arriving soon, right, leader?" The second elder said while prancing around the place with a worried expression on his face.
"Yes, they will be arriving soon." Noah said with a smile on his face as he casually sat in the front of the village gates. "You seem to be awfully excited for it?"
"Oh, I was excited because I need an item from the trade urgently." The second elder said with an honest tone.
"Then I hope the caravan has the item you require." Noah said casually.
"Thank you, leader." The second elder nodded his head with a smile on his face.
"What's the special item anyway?" Suddenly, the fourth elder asked with a curious expression, looking at the second elder. He too was seated behind the leader like all the elders, and only the second elder was in front.
"It is a special thing for me. I am sorry, I can't divulge it myself." The second elder said with a forced smile.
"We can understand that, Second Elder." Noah suddenly intervened and turned around, looking at the fourth elder with a glint in his eyes.
The fourth elder internally cursed and remained silent.
Very soon, they saw tiny dots in the distance.
"They have arrived." Noah announced with a smile on his face, although he said it softly, his voice seemed to travel through the entire village, making it heard by everyone in the village.
"Is this the fabled sound magic of the generation of leaders?" The fifth elder, who looked relatively younger with his black beard aging, asked with a surprised expression on his face.
The other elders chuckled hearing this, making the fifth elder a little embarrassed.
"I am sorry, brothers, for being an embarrassment since I always focused on my mage training. I was clueless most of the time about the traditions of the village."
"We can understand that you don't have to be embarrassed about it, after all, you barely took twenty-nine steps in the awakening ceremony, however, you were able to reach tier two wizard relatively quicker than us. You have truly opened my eyes that talent isn't the most important part.
There is your hard work and sheer will as well which makes a difference." The second elder said with a warm smile on his face.
"I am honored to be complemented by the second elder." The fifteenth elder replied respectfully and sat back into his seat again.
"Good, good, brother, the sound magic is the exclusive spell of the village, which can only be learned by the village leader himself. Others cannot learn such a spell, even the candidate for the village cannot learn until he becomes the village leader himself. This spell is the most guarded secret of the village."
"Thank you for the information, second elder." The fifteenth elder bowed with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, the first and the third elders' faces darkened. As they were just about to speak, Noah's voice suddenly came from the front.
"They are closing in. Prepare to greet them." Noah stood up and went forward with a smile on his face.
All the elders followed Noah.
Before long, they could see a group of giant elephants who were traversing the landscape in a quick pace that was unlike the normal elephants, with a distinctive purple color and their ears were larger, almost like wings.
"Are those the famous dragon elephants of the caravan?" The fifteenth elder asked with a curious expression.
"Yes, brother, but they aren't very rare in the capital. In fact, dragon elephants are a relatively common steed in the capital." The second elder replied with a warm smile.
"Thank you for replying, second elder." The fifteenth elder warmly bowed as well with a smile on his face.
Bahruuuuuuhhhhaaaaa!
The trumpets and rumbles of the elephants echoed in the surrounding as the ground shook with their sheer weight.
Just as they were about to reach Noah and the elders, they suddenly paused.
As from the main dragon elephant, who was a height taller and stronger than all the other elephants, a stair extended downward, and a man with a distinctive fat belly and had a rather healthy body came outside with a business smile on his face. His smile seemed eerily similar to the one Noah had.
"I hope you didn't wait too long for me, Leader of the village." As the man descended, he greeted Noah.
"Not at all, we haven't waited that long at all, Brother Nathaniel." Noah replied with a hearty laugh as the two shook their hands.
"Alright, we have been itching to place a market, so we are immediately going to set up a stall here. As long as you pay enough money here, you can buy anything that you want to buy from it." Nathaniel said with a laugh on his face.
The moment he said so, all from the top of the elephant stairs slowly started to descend into the ground, and people started to go down the stairs at a uniform pace, almost like military soldiers.
After they all touched the ground, they lined up with smiles on their faces and immediately started to work by erecting tents around the area.
