Roger smiled while drinking the tea that he had bought. He really liked milk tea. He also liked milk coffee. Whoever was the one who thought about adding milk and sugar to tea should be given a few aura pills.
He smiled and thought about the future. Three days had passed and he was still in this room. Food had no meaning for him and he did not have to eat and excrete like a human. The excess matter would be converted into molecules and dispersed into the air.
But he still ate food as he liked to eat food. He sighed as he looked at the letters of introduction. Many nobles wanted to meet him. Some sent a letter introducing themselves, asking for the right to meet them. Some invited him to go to their house.
He had not gone to some home or allowed someone to come to him as he wanted to wait some time to let them buy the aura pills and then let them become prettier. He knew that now was the time to visit someone as he was tired of this monotonous life.
He chose a view houses that were well known among the nobility. He finally decided to go the house of the Redwoods as they were the house with the most powerful knight regiment before war changed from swords and bows to guns and tanks.
He smiled as he had heard about how the current heir is a well trained noble who has earned his own merits to be named a Baron by now. His father was a hereditary marquis and when he passes on the position, all the merits unused along with the position of Marquis will be given to the heir, letting him get a higher or lower position.
He smiled thinking about how he could be with them. It was just that he hoped to have some friends but it is just that he hoped to let them be under his control. He is someone with higher level intelligence and could actually see further in the world. So he just wanted to keep them in control in all manner so that they would never betray him.
He smiled when the time came and went there in the car arranged for him. Amelia sat beside him as by protocol, she was supposed to go along with him. As he did not forbade her, she came along with him.
Roger smiled seeing the modest house. He got out and sensed the mansion. He smiled seeing that the whole mansion was surrounded by soldiers outside. He walked forwards and saw the family of five, and the maids and butlers standing at the side. The knights were standing outside as tradition demanded.
Roger nodded to the Redwoods and said, "Greeting Lord Salas Redwood. I have graceful that you have accepted me here."
He let the present box float away from him to the side of the Redwoods. Salas smiled and pulled away the box using aura and said, "Nice to meet you Lord Aurelius. Welcome to my humble abode. This is my wife Lady Sophia. This is my heir Solaris, these are my daughters Reyna and Rena."
Roger smiled and nodded to every one of them. After he had entered the house and had dinner and some good talk, he finally had some lone time with Salas. He had only planned to just dine with many families, give some gifts and then leave. If someone does make him interested, he shall talk with them. He sighed thinking about how he had being gifted a 200 meter high mechanical robot when he was tired. It was purely made using intent rune programming and force along was more than enough to make it run. The weapons in it alone was enough to fight against all contemporary weapons and the single mechanical robot could destroy a war-front.
But it had no use in his business. For making a fan, he would just need to make the structure and add a intent rune to absorb energy and to let the fan rotate. Run programming had much to do as with his current precision and enough knowledge, they could even program a tool that could control the weather as force at his current precision could even manipulate smaller level molecules.
So army was no longer needed for him who could create a intent rune to create more intent runes and to finally self reproducing soldiers as long as they had enough supply of energy. The world did have enough energy. As for humans and animals, he could have as many slaves as he wanted. Even, he could simply conquer the world by just sitting in his room without moving out by enslaving all the microbes and letting all the microbes enslave other microbes. As for larger multicellular organisms, he just needed to ensure that a single cell was corrupted. That would ensure that that cell would absorb energy and corrupt other cells, finally corrupting all other larger animals in succession.
So he just needed enough slaves and subordinates. So when he needed someone in this world to be his friend, he excepted someone strong and someone good enough to impress him. This man seemed to one such man as he showed control over aura. This had meant that either he had had aura activated a long time ago or he had activated and learnt about aura during this three days. The talentless even if they eat millions of aura pills, would not be able to awaken aura and hence control the aura.
He smiled and asked, "Since when had you activated aura."
Salas smiled and said, "I had awakened it after 20 years of celibacy and lone training. It was only then I was allowed to get married. When did you awaken you intent? I had read records that the last intent lord flooded the world with food and let the world advance by eras. It was that what let the Atlantians keep on the path of mysticism."
Roger nodded and said, "That is not useful in any manner. If he really wanted to ensure that the world and humanity remained strong, he would just need to keep the intent imparted onto the plants remain so."
Salas smiled and said, "That man claimed that he was weak in terms of intent. He also said that prosperity due to his has only meaning when he is alive as when he is dead and the world prospers, he gains nothing. He also said something about keeping the world clean for more intent lords to rise." Saras said with a direct look at Roger as if he knew something. Roger smiled as he was sure that no intent lord will speak to the commoners that they can be enslaved easily. They will only euphemistically say something like imparting intent strengthening them.
But still to keep the conversation going, Roger smiled and said, "When a being is imparted with intent, while it does make them awaken and give them much higher level control over aura than normal aura awakening with higher level of strength and self healing along with full control over the intent imparted to them, the fact remains that they will never be able to awaken a new kind of intent easily. So if the world had beings with intent imparted, the fact remains that they and their descendants will never be able to awaken intent. You should know that one with intent cannot be imparted with another intent. A person can never be imparted by two intent. So if the subordinates of the intent lord then lived, while humanity now would have a large number of being with intent and power enough to conquer the galaxy due to intent runes technology, humanity would have lost the strength to move forward and the possibility of the rise of another intent lord."
Salas asked in doubt, "Will you be taking away the intent when you die?"
Roger shook his head and said, "No! I am not a sycophant. I will establish a temple in a sanctuary for myself and let all the subordinates alive by then move to the sanctuary. I will let them keep the population in check so that the ones with intent imparted would remain in a certain number. Not all intent lords can be believed as after all intent lords are humans in all manners."
Salas nodded. He smiled and then asked, "Do you want to meet other aura masters who you have not helped become one with intent imparted?"
Roger thought and nodded, "Yes."
Salas smiled and said, "Beware of the Atlantians as they had had 3 intent lords in their records along with the items made by them. One can never be sure about them."
Roger smiled and said, "Do not worry? As long as there is no more intent lord in this world, I am invincible."
