Another week passed...
Carl was now currently cleaning the dishes.
His body, now got even better his height was still rather the same, standing 5 feet, but the change's in his body is palpable.
He didn't looked like a malnourished stick anymore and could, only be called skinny now.
But the change's in his face are much palpable showing that Indra body, is naturally handsome if one took good care.
His light blue eye's. are now much livelier, his hair still quite long, was now much properly cleaned,also it have a rosey smell, because of Aria conditioner.
Currently he was in a good mood.
"I'm already in upper stage, the pressure in my core is finally gone" He muttered inwardly while happily washing the dishes.
"Before the consumption of my mana while using the 1 star footsteps technique was 10% now it's only 8%"
The higher the rank or stage of the person the higher the quality of the Mana in the point that if one reach a certain high rank using 1 Star technique would be nothing.
"I had used up 30 blessed stone's in this past wpast but i still have a lot about 220 blessed stone's."
"The Calm mind technique was simply too expensive in mana, whenever i use it to comprehend more of the strength path book,"
"My mana will be cut by more than half within just 5 minutes also adding up that my mana have now better quality."
He sighed softly feeling a bit of pity.
"Sadly, i was not able to get into moderate attainment yet..."
Carl shake's his thought's, and finally washed the final plate.
"I'm finally done." He looked at the dishe's now perfectly cleaned and align, but just then he heard Aria voice.
"Indra!" Aria shouted while she was calmly glancing at the window looking at the sun which is now ascending.
Immediately he clean himself and walked toward's the door.
Carl was speechless seeing her outfit, because she was wearing a victorian-inspired outfit, elegant and formal.
The overall style is modest yet sophisticated, fitting an aristocratic or professional look.
It wasn't revealing but still it couldn't concealed her curvy figure's but it was still much better outfit, whenever she was with him.
Carl was still a man his face couldn't help be flushed for a moment.
It's very normal since currently his body is at it's 14s making hormones quite active, but of course his thought was immediately removed after few second's.
She didn't seem's to notice as she speak.
"Come with me we're going to get your second technique."
When he got closed Carl felt her perfume it was like the scent of sunflower but it's intensity is much fiercer.
"So do you still want a defense type technique?" She asked curiously looking at him.
His expression turned amused, when she looked at him properly as slowly she added teasingly.
"is it just me or you gotten more handsome~"
Carl didn't got flustered and simply sighed showing his not interested in such topic's.
"It's just your imagination," Slowly He changed the topic toward's the technique's.
"And actually i changed my mind can i choose the technique's since I'm also coming with you?"
In the past week Carl is not as nonchalant or silent before.
He had gotten more comfortable and had revealed most of his true self now.
He is simply expressing himself even more.
Aria also didn't mind it and also seem's to like it more.
"Hmm~ why did you change your mind?" She asked grabbing his hand as she take the lead in walking.
The two didn't bat an eyelid and it seems quite normal to them now.
As they step outside the door what meet, them was a beautiful scenery which is very beautiful.
The sun was ascending the two looked glanced at it for a moment before continuing.
The place they we're in was nothing but filled with grass and few house's most of them identical to each other.
"It will be quite long so use your footsteps technique." Aria spoke as she used her own footsteps technique.
Carl also didn't any time and runned behind her.
While they traveled thing's goes smoothly, they didn't have to go in any forest, and only needed to follow a road, on the way in the capital of the kingdom.
Aria also meet's some of her acquaintance they each greet each other.
After half a hour they finally got in the capital.
There's a huge wall and people guarding the capital before they go inside they need to pay at least 1 blessed stone's for each person.
"Hmm the air here is better than i imagine and the people is not as dirty and filthy as I, expected." He muttered looking around.
Currently they are walking in a huge market we're people sell food's armor, artifact's and material in upgrading weapon's.
Carl couldn't help but sigh in pity looking around.
"There's so many material's here if i could have rank 2 wolf beast skin I'll be able upgrade my 1 star thick skin." He thought in his mind.
But looking at the price of it costing 100 blessed stone's he shake's that thought.
"Don't go too far away from me you might get lost." she muttered in a worried tone, her grip on Carl's hand tightening.
Finally after few more minutes of walking they arrived in a crowded people.
The people are mostly Noble's and most of their gaze was set in a four Caravan.
The four Caravan was huge and Carl and everyone could feel a ton of technique's display in it.
He couldn't help but salivate.
Technique's are very rare that it could not be normally buy in a normal market.
"To think there would be a mass selling of technique here..." He muttered and slowly glancing at Aria.
"Wait for a moment we will each have our turn to check the technique's just wait for a bit more" She reassures patting his head gently.
Carl simply nodded.
Carl take a glance at the line in front of the line are mostly noble's having the privilege to get to choose first.
"Noble's hold great power, and simply in a market, like this they could cut the line if a. commoner tried stopping them the, commoner would get killed."
His expression turned gloomy thinking about it, since he was a commoner.
He looked around for a moment and was not surprised to find that no one dare's to steal a technique.
Because in front of them was a group of people having the aura of grandmaster.
If they really tried stealing they would be in big trouble.
Finally after another half a hour it's there next turn.
They are rather late since all of the 5 star technique are gone and only a few 4 star are left.
Carl didn't felt dissapointed, since his target was not really the 5 star or 4 star,
He looked around.
Aria was also taking a look and slowly she grab another wind path technique giving it to Carl.
"How about this Indra it's also wind path?" She grab a 1 star scroll costing 150 blessed stone's.
Etched in the scroll was a wind.
"Air breath technique?" He thought, after thinking about it he shake's his head.
Currently he didn't need something in wind path since it will not be compatible in strength path.
But if he want's it to be compatible he would need a long research.
She was dissapointed but ultimately she put it back in it's place.
Carl continues looking around and found a glowing scroll colored white and etched in it was a bone.
The bone was black in color making his eye's light up.
"Bone Strength technique." He smiled his joy is palpable.
In the past week he didn't try to use the 2 star crocodile strength technique, because once he did his fragile bone would shatter because of the strength of his fist.
And what's in front of him was simply perfect for him.
It was also only a 1 star it was a perfect combination with thick skin technique.
"I want this one." He spoke grabbing the technique.
She looked at the price it was also 150 blessed stone's but her eye's twitched.
"I thought you didn't need defense type?" She spoke with a frown.
Carl thought about it and sheepishly smile again.
"I changed my mind again." He muttered.
Aria sighed rolling her eye's but as he pleaded she still bought the technique.
Just as they we're about to leave in the Caravan a voice directed to him was spoken.
"Disgusting Commoner's that's mine!" A fat boy with a ugly round cheek shouted, his face was burning red, in anger The fat boy walked it's movement are quite funny because of how fat he was.
"Give me that bone strength technique in it's half price now!" The fat boy spoke arrogantly.
He have the suit of a noble and behind him was a knight tall and burly having the aura of adept rank.
Carl stopped walking.
