Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 187 Birthday Hiatus

Studying the second spell model didn't take too long, with the experience he had from the first one, it took Alex s hours to have the spell model for Wind Element: Lightning Variation: Spark. And just like the previous time, the spell was showing even more power than was required of it.

The third spell Magnetize was easier to imprint in his mind, it took him no less than an hour to master it, and it was quite the achievement when they had all casted all three different spells at the same time.

Devonte and Khan seemingly became closer to their master, because no matter how you looked at it, it now seemed as if they were sharing the same mind with him. It was completely unlike anything that any one of them has ever experienced, but nevertheless it was quite refres.h.i.+ng.

After their mastery of the spells, Alex contemplated if he should maybe go get another 0 circle spell, these guys have proven that they could use such low level magic and turn it into something else, and he would very much like to see what other spells they could learn or if he could imprint a first circle spell.

But even with all of his excitement he was still smart enough to know that, before you run, you have to walk, and before you walk, you have to crawl. Or something like that. But with the issue with magic properly taken care of, Alex reasoned it was about time he made his way to the Vatican.

There are not many places on this Earth where wors.h.i.+p of the old fallen G.o.ds were allowed. The Vatican on the other hand was the center of Power for the Christians and their G.o.d Yahweh and his Son Jesus Christ. A religion that was also quite spread Within the colonies of both the empire of heaven and the Albion empire, with the Albion empire even adopting it's customs for some important ritual.

In the clues his father had left, there was a thing called a holy spirit being kept locked in a cathedral and also having it's power used as a Medium to perform miracles and stuff. Sure he wouldn't be able to just March up and take it, but at the very least he felt that this was something he had to try, he needed to complete the masks, there were still 5 blank masks, with only two having spirits, and each mask needs to have three spirits that signify a state of life; Humanoid, Animal like, and Plant based. Whether or not they have consciousness it doesn't matter, all that does is that he finds them first.

For this trip he was only going with two people, but if you count in Devonte and Khan that made five. Minerva Crucifixio or Cross as everyone knew her was a knight; and a special element knight known as a holy knight, or in crucial political terms, a Paladin.

The next person was Louis, he might not be that much familiar with the Vatican as Cross seeing as she's from Rome, the Autonomous colony where the Vatican was the highest authority. Louis had a nose for detail and danger, plus he was really good at getting information even when there doesn't seem to be a way for him to get it.

Firstly he didn't want to raise too much of an alarm with his leaving, he was going to investigate and potentially get another spirit for his mask, he'd rather keep that close for now, as a grump card not many people know of.

But even if they're heading to the Vatican, they had to make a stop in Sydney, capital of the kingdom of Australia. There was a special airs.h.i.+p auction being carried out tomorrow, and Alex had gotten himself invited, which wasn't bad considering many parts of that airs.h.i.+p were crafted with his sky steel, and a weapons system that was a combination of Qi and Mana. The Qi engineer and Artificers who designed the Airs.h.i.+p had sat outside his tower for three straight days asking for the secret to combine both Mana attributed materials and qi attributed materials together.

They offered to give him the prototype of the Airs.h.i.+p after they were done, and now they were about to auction it off. It was funny, Because Alex never thought he was the kind of person that could be so blatantly scammed. And so he was going there to see who had the guts to do such a thing, and also claim that airs.h.i.+p cause quite frankly his tower was dire need of it. Plus it should be able to get him to Rome in one piece.

"Are you sure we can't leave with Anya or maybe Xiao Mei? There's strength in numbers you know?" Louis suggested as they walked towards the Academy's transportation terminal

"We're trying to keep a controlled low profile Louis, besides there's no guaranty that we would be in any sort of fight, not with how much reputation we have. What we're going to do is get the airs.h.i.+p that was promised us, and then fly it to Rome and investigate a rumor. The three of us is just enough for that, don't you think so Cross?"

"I don't know, nothing you expect can be what you experience as no plan ever survives the battlefield." She answered as she moved forward, purchasing a train ticked whilst leaving Louis, Devonte, Alex and Khan staring at her.

"Is it just me or did she just reply with a Quote?" Khan asked, terribly surprised by the depth? Of wisdom Cross seemed to be showing. But considering she had a ma.s.sive tower s.h.i.+eld behind her, Khan wisely kept any other extra questions to himself, especially one's about certain part of her body being flat as a washboard.

Alex shook his head and moved forwards with a smile, everyone in his tower had one eccentric trait of the other. But it was that difference that was helping everyone really blend in well together, Alex was always worried that truly one of them was a traitor, and sometimes he acted accordingly by making plans with some of them and keeping it from the others, having different groups take care of different tasks.

Like now; no one else knew they were going on a journey, even Louis didn't know until Alex called him over and dragged him out of the tower. Louis was quite intelligent, but he had a mouth that really didn't have a filter and that was worry some, there was Practically no difference between him and Khan in that regard. Nevertheless even with his distrust, Alex loved everyone and has made sure to make every time spent with them worth while, whether they were spies or not.

He could suspect them, but they weren't allowed to suspect each other. Of course there was no guarantee, but Alex tried his best to keep them together and it seems to have worked. He our based his own ticket and went to find his cabin. Trains were still rampant, especially in places like Australia where there endless stretches of desert. Not to mention the trains carried more people than airs.h.i.+ps, and we're almost just as fast, plus they were quite comfy, so it made for a good method of transportation.

"But Tower Master? I really would like to know what we're going to do in Rome?" Cross asked him as she focused her gaze on him, her hands resting on her tower s.h.i.+eld and the ma.s.sive broad sword in it's middle. Louis and Devonte turned to look at him, they had no idea they were going to Rome.

"During my last birthday my dad left me a gift, it was a file of information about a bunch of rumors, sightings and modern legends of spirits, ghosts, bad omens, G.o.ds etc. Things like this fall under my sphere of influence as there's a possibility any one of those rumors are actually spirits just like Devonte and Khan and can help make me stronger.

There's a rumor, though it's not quite one as a lot of people believe it to be true, that ten years ago in a small cathedral at the edge of the Vatican city; an angel of G.o.d fell from the sky. He met a little boy who he then proceeded to leave behind a piece of his power with. This power is what everyone calls a Holy Spirit. I don't know how true that story is, all I know is my Dad uncovered some extra information that the public has no idea about.

Apparently the Angel didn't fall, but was instead forcefully summoned from Heaven. If such a place exists or not, I'm not sure, but according to the file, this information is 60% accurate. They imprisoned the angel and have been using his abilities to create signs and wonders and healings, deceiving the people and lining their pockets with money.

My search for Another powerful spirit aside, I'm in a position where I can't let any spirits harm and hurt a human being. But just the same I can't let anyone hurt and torture a spirit, in fact I fell tempted to burn entire cities to the ground if I find out innocent spirits Are being hurt like that. There should be a balance and a bottom line, Humans and Spirits are not Allowed to harm each other." Alex answered Cross as he leant back and closed his eyes to enjoy the ride as the train began moving.

"But Tower Master why are you so interested in this?" Cross asked again, but this time it was Khan who gave her the answer.

"Isn't it obvious? He's the Spirit king!"
