I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 238: Old Man Draught

Chapter 238: Old Man Draught

Unlike the other areas, the inner area is very peaceful and quiet. Even the combatant is practicing only doing some basic stance or meditating without giving any mana fluctuation. Still, all of them have very serious expressions, like trying to comprehend something.

While seeing this environment, "So, how is it?" asked Jade to Angus, who looked at the surroundings.

"Well, this is not a bad place to live. They sure know how to live peacefully." replied Angus.

"Err… I mean about all of these combatants." said Jade.

"Ohhh.. What's wrong with them?" asked Angus back.

"Did you not find them interesting?" asked Jade.

"You mean their training? Well, it's quite interesting, but… let's just say I am not too interested in it." said Angus.

"O-Okay. Let's get moving. Old man Draught place is still located quite far from here." said Jade, who is kind of disappointed about Angus's reaction.

For Jade, all of these people that stay here have a deep understanding of weapon mastery. It's not wrong that people who live in this place are the cream of the crop from all over Porros.

Some rumors say that people who live in this place are based on high-grade criteria and need a deep understanding of their weapon choice.

However, Angus, who has already reached the pinnacle of weapon mastery and martial art, feels all of them are still at the child's play level. Still, he is not stupid enough to say this out loud.

Actually, Angus himself didn't like being with this kind of group. Based on his past life experience, this group of people will only raise conflict from envy and jealousy over his talent.

This is one of the major reasons he never wants to show all of his expertise in public. Even in the Battlefield Arena tournament, he still showed all his capabilities.

Soon, Jade and the others arrive in front of a stony stair that leads to a massive castle made of unknown grey stone.

While everyone is in awe looking at the majestic castle, "*Sigh* Why would they make the building so high and big? Is there a giant person living here? I never truly understand the taste of all these monumental buildings." chimed Angus while he is starting to get bored.

Hearing this, "Hahaha.. I think you will get along with old man Draught, nephew." said Jade as he called everyone from their stupor.

Rather than taking the stairs of the vast castle, Jade led them to the side castle where there is a small tunnel which makes everyone confused.

After walking for a while, they reach a mountain with stony steps in poor condition. It feels like the place was abandoned a long time ago. On the contrary, the area is very natural and completely blends with nature.

"Are you sure we are at the right place, father?" asked Gilford.

"Of course, Just follow me." replied Jade shortly.

Then, Jade begins to hike the stony stair. A few moments later, they reach a plot of land with a small wooden house in the middle of it. A muscular man training using a greatsword near the house, cutting the bubbles that come from the ground.

Noticing Jade and the others, "A visitor? Is by any chance one of you called Jade?" asked the muscular man.

"Yeah, that's me. Is the old man Draught here?" replied Jade.

"Yeah, he is here. Oii.. Old man, you got some guest." yelled the muscular person.

"Shut up, Warton. You don't need to yell loudly. I could hear clearly. Now, fetch me something for our guest to eat." replied someone from inside the tiny wooden house.

"Damn, Old man." grumble Warton before disappearing from his spot.

Everyone was surprised at the speed of Warton as not even Jade could perceive it. Then, a burly old man with a thick white beard came out of the house.

"Jade, my friend. I am glad you could make it." said the old man Draught.

"Old man Draught, long time no see. I am glad you are still healthy." said Jade.

"Hahaha… Don't kill this old man too soon." said Draught.

"Anyway, let me introduce you to one of my sons. Here is Gilford. He is the smartest in our Sur village." said Jade introducing Gilford.

"Ahh.. Yes, not bad. An ancient king's heir, huh??" said the Draught.

Hearing this, Gilford was immediately startled. The knowledge about him being the heir of the ancient king is very secret that only Angus, Jayna, and his family know about it.

Seeing Gilford's expression, "Hahaha… Don't worry, I often deal with people like you in the past. So, I could easily discern the blessing of the ancient king in your body." said Old Man Draught.

"Still, Jade, I never thought you would bring such a group of monsters here." added Draught while looking at the three kids in front of him.

"Err.. old man Draught, they are…" said Jade.

"A monster-minded child that could fully control her body and desire. Although she is still in lower grade, her potential is not lost to those ancient kings." said Draught while scrutinizing Anna.

Before anyone could reply, "An ancient beast.. No, little girl, you fuse with a primordial fire elemental beast. If I am not, it should be a phoenix and not an ordinary one. The fusion also seems not to be completely done. Hahaha… Jade, you bring a surprise this time." said Draught after inspecting Jayna.

Before Jade could reply, old man Draught shifts to Angus, "But, the most surprising thing is you. Who are you, boy? You are an enigma. Even my discerning eye could not reveal all of your secrets." said Draught.

Before Angus notices, Draught already grabs Angus's wrist.

"This is… Hahaha… Boy, you will have a tough future. Not only does your body contain a huge amount of soul power, but you have three different energies in your body, and one of them looks very ancient like the world itself." said Draught.

"If you are not at the lower grade, I feel like meeting one of those people. But the most surprising thing is your talent. Hahahaha… Jade, you bring me a natural weapon master. If those old coots know, who knows what will be done." added Draught.

After releasing Angus's wrist, "Say, boy, did you want me to make your sentient weapon?" offering the old man.

Hearing this, Jade is surprised at Draught's offer. He knows exactly who the old man Draught is. Draught is not an ordinary sentient weapon crafter. According to Jade's knowledge, he is the best sentient weapon crafter in this world.

Countless high grades and seventh-grade combatants trying to get Draught forging their sentient weapon. However, the old man is stubborn and always refuses every single offer because of his strict requirements.

Now, this legendary old man offers Angus to make his sentient weapon despite only being a low-grade combatant. Hearing and seeing the old man in front of him, Angus begins to think about something.

"Can you do it?" asked Angus.

"Huh??" react everyone besides the old man Draught.

"Can you make my sentient weapon?" asked Angus again.

During these past few weeks, Angus inquires to Jade about the so-called sentient weapon. Apparently, it is not just a weapon with spirit on it.

According to the rumor, a sentient weapon is a weapon that is formed from part of the owner. It is not wrong to say that a sentient weapon is part of the owner. Not only that, but it is also called the best weapon for the owner.

The best weapon phrase is very confusing for Angus. As a natural weapon master who could use all kinds of weapons, there is no such thing as the best weapon but only an appropriate weapon.

Every weapon has its strength and weakness. For example, a sword is good at close-range combat. But, it is bad at long-range combat and has many other shortcomings. Hearing Angus's question, Draught immediately laughs as he knows what Angus means.

"Hahaha… You are right, boy. I can't make the best sentient weapon for you. As expected of a natural weapon master, I will only be disappointed if you somehow accept my offer. I bet no other living being could make a suitable weapon for you." said Draught.

"As you know, a sentient weapon is part of the owner. Just based on this criterion alone, it is difficult to create a sentient weapon that could be part of your body."

"Three different energies and a thousand or more soul powers. I bet even those soul keepers could not even make a weapon for you." said Draught.

Hearing this, Angus keeps his calm as he already expected this answer, but he is also surprised about the Draught revelation that he uses soul power from his system.

'Does the system's soul points actually a soul power? Then, where does the soul power come from?' thought Angus.

While Angus thought this, "Don't worry, boy. Every living being may not have a chance to get their sentient weapon. But, let me tell you a secret." said Draught seriously.
