Chapter 123 - 123: Leaving Lsengard
Catherine spent the entire morning in her room, unsure of what to do. After breakfast, Charles dedicated the morning to transferring all the materials and herbs from his storage space to David, asking him to help sell them. He did this because there wasn't much time left before their departure for Cyber Academy, and he would need a substantial amount of money once they arrived.
Additionally, Charles visited every general store and the Beast Mastery shop in town, hoping to find a Gold-quality mystical beast egg. It had been a while since he became a Level 3 Beast Master, and he still hadn't had any luck finding a third mystical beast.
Lsengard was just a small border town of Genosha, and Silver-quality mystical beast eggs were already considered rare here, let alone Gold-quality ones.
As for capturing ferocious beasts outside the city, Charles had no interest; he didn't think much of the ferocious beasts near Lsengard. He was looking for a wind-type mystical beast, preferably one that could fight in the sky. While Mousie could fly for short periods, its natural form wasn't suited for direct combat.
He was also considering finding a Gold-type mystical beast, similar to a Steel Warhorse, which could enhance physical attributes and defensive capabilities. With Mousie's Darkness Draw ability, he could drain energy from enemies to replenish his stamina or boost his attack power. In that state, Charles, under the effects of Beast Mastery, could battle against foes all day long!
Unfortunately, after several days of
...
Charles ignored the chatter around him and focused on the familiar faces of Daniel, Lily, Aurora, Raj, Matthew, and David who had come to see him off. He felt a wave of emotion swell within him.
"You guys should head back; I'm not gone for good," Charles said, trying to ease their worries.
"I know, but just wait a little longer. I want to see you," Lily replied, her eyes slightly red. The thought of Charles leaving felt like a sharp pain in her heart.
Daniel, with his shoulders slumped and a lost look in his eyes, spoke in a low voice, "Take care of yourself over there. If anyone bullies you, tell me, and I'll make sure they regret it!"
Hearing Daniel's words made Charles suppress a laugh. "Sure, what if a Level 5 Beast Master picks a fight?"
"Forget Level 5; I'd take on a Level 6 if I had to!" Daniel said, raising his head and looking earnestly at Charles.
Charles chuckled and patted his shoulder. "Alright, I get it. Time's running out, and I need to leave."
"Wait, I have something for you to take. Inside this bag, there's a box that Aurora asked me to give you," Daniel said, handing over a large bag to Charles.
Charles accepted it, glancing around for Aurora, but he didn't see her anywhere.
As the departure time approached, Charles bid farewell to his friends. He took one last glance back; besides Lily, who was weeping quietly, he caught a fleeting glimpse of Aurora's silhouette in the distant corner tower.
Waving goodbye, he joined Catherine on the train heading to Azureville.
Inside the luxurious carriage, Catherine was resting with her eyes closed, while Charles stared at the bag on the table, lost in thought. He opened it to find three small boxes inside.
One was from Daniel, containing a note that simply read, "Take care," along with 500 silver coins.
The second was from Lily. When he opened it, he quickly closed it again, glancing at Catherine to ensure she was still asleep. Inside was a sexy outfit that Lily had worn before, complete with a lip print on the inside and 800 silver coins.
The last box was from Aurora, containing a small pack of cookies and 1 gold coin along with 230 silver coins.
Carefully, Charles took out a cookie and popped it into his mouth, watching the scenery outside rush by as the train sped along.
Familiar faces and places receded further behind him.
"This cookie is a bit bitter," Charles murmured.
