Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 172 His Father's Letter

You will achieve great things Alexander, I know so. Enclosed Within this letter are three pieces of information, after I had left you I had gone round the world searching for clues about spirit Kings, so as to help you get an edge over your enemies and grown stronger. Two of those information are maps, one of them would lead to two hidden legendary locations, the Yamahaghara of the s.h.i.+nto G.o.ds, and Ile-Ife! An ancient city of G.o.ds where our ancestors were directly descended from.

Bit locations are no more than ruins at the moment, but you can and might be able to find something there. Though to be honest no one has been able to successfully find these cities after such a long time, but I believe that you will be able to. The final information is not a map, but rather an intercepted secret letter that was discovered almost sixty years ago. In the letter it was said that a being called the holy Spirit bad possessed a couple of people in the Vatican city, but beyond that it was also mentioned that an angel had also descended. You told me that the policing ad protection of spirits fell to your hands, so if they're not safe it's up to you to find them, plus I believe they would be able to raise your abilities greatly.

I'll still keep on looking for clues about spirits and G.o.ds around the world, your connection to Nezha has let me know that there's more to our secret history than I thought. The only thing I can tell you about that for now, is the fact that we're descended from G.o.ds. Apart from the information I've also delivered Adamantium and Celestial Ionite! Along with a few pieces wind sh.e.l.ls, and the legendary golden silkworm threads. I expect you to re-forge your broken swords and make them better, and then use the silk to make clothes that won't burn off Every time you're set on fire.

Grow strong my son, and keep the faith...I'll be back for you soon, and for your sake I'll be back for your mother. One day we can be a family again, and we'll both try to make up for the years you couldn't get what you deserved. I love you my boy, stay safe.]

"You too Babe." Alex silently whispered as he folded the letter and opened the box that held the ores and the silk.

No matter how he looked at it, Alex knew he was in for a lot of work, unlike the last time when he forged for Louis and Yun Fao, this time he was a lot stronger, and he was going to put all of his strength and understanding into this. West Wind and East Cloud would live again, but he also had to increase his knowledge of armor, while his father wanted him to weave clothes, Alex immediately wanted to use the silk to make armor of at the very least clothes that acted like armor, and he had the perfect material for the job.

When it comes to the mixing of multiple base materials during forging, it is considered completely stupid, and something that's not supposed to be done, however Alex had Spirit energy, and at this point there was no material under the earth that Alex would be unable to combine and forge. Now he had Adamantium, the strongest meteorite ore, and then he had sky steel, the most resilient and conductive to both Qi and Mana. And then there's Ionite, and not just Ionite, celestial Ionite that's rumored to have been mined from the remains of mount Olympus.

Ionite was not really an ore but a very versatile compound, capable of existing in various forms. It's main effect however was the capability to nullify any and all sort of energy, with it in hand Alex could probably create an edge for his swords that once it cuts someone, would nullify and eliminate their ability to gather and utilize energy, or he could make throwing weapons that he could control through out the course of the battle field…that seems like a better idea. Or he could just use the Ionite along with the threads from the golden silkworm, and maybe manufactured sky steel threads and make a coat that would not just be resistant to his abilities keeping it under control, but have enough Defense to nullify attacks from energy.

Alex was itching to begin forging, but he held back. He wanted to make weapons, armor/clothes that would grow with him, just like his spear. And in order to do that, he didn't just need the best materials, he needed the best forge, and he needed the help of his spirits, which means he would like need Nezha and Ébié to come up with other rituals that would help increasing the power and abilities of whatever he forges. And the goal was to at least make them all spirit weapons with a consciousness, very much like his (Nameless) spear...…looks like he would have to attend one of those auctions, but preferably it has to be the next one in a week.

Today was the auction for the Arachne corpse, and he had already sent what was left of the second to the academy administration office. It's value dropped because it had been drained of blood, but neither Alex nor anyone else living in his tower wanted to have equipment forged from the Arachne, so it was pretty much useless to them, and could only be used to fetch money. But since he couldn't go to the auction, perhaps it would be better if he took a stroll around the academy, he would report for cla.s.ses tomorrow, he would split the day between his study of arrays, and then finally drag himself to the basic mage cla.s.s.

After all, he now had Mana, so it would be best to go discover his Mana element, which Alex was almost definitely sure was wind.....he had already checked, but there was something else that the element detector he used couldn't identify, so he needed a more powerful one. And at the very least the detector the academy used should be more than enough to take care of that.

Khan and Devonte were acting as body guards to Louis and Hideki, not that they needed it, but it made Louis feel important. Alex hardly ever was able to keep up with Louis and the way that he thought, but he didn't mind. He wouldn't be able to leave with Geb though, the fox was still young and wouldn't be able to survive for long if it's away from the land it's connected and bonded to.

Thankfully the G.o.ds of luck were on his side and Geb had fallen asleep, guess the wonders of warm milk has never changed, the fox was out like a light.

Alex gently picked him up, ignoring how the fox snuggle into his embrace and yawned in it's sleep, it didn't take him to long to return Geb to the bas.e.m.e.nt and make his way outside the tower.

It was almost sunset, which means the others would be back soon from their respective errands, and after that it would be a whole bunch of reports, and plans upon plans being made and remade. Sure Alex was happy that he took a break from fighting, but honestly he thinks maybe he might actually prefer that. His head hurts, but he knew he was the only one who could do it.

For one Anya just didn't have the skills or finesse required to do something like this, Xiao Mei was more learned, but the girl was lazy and found things like this a bore, if she needed to do something, just tell her, plans weren't her strong suit. Louis could do it, but Louis seemed to have a phobia for the words lead, leader and leaders.h.i.+p, Miranda was the previous leader but she did a bad job, so while she was efficient, it only ever showed when she's serving rather than leading.

Hideki and the other members of the Beggar's sect we're definitely not of the leaders.h.i.+p breed, not to mention they had all just joined them, so it wouldn't exactly be wise if anyone of them were just suddenly in charge. Alex might have been the one who asked Louis to scout them, but hat didn't mean he trusted them fully got and care of everything in the tower, leaving him with no other choice but to be the one in charge of making sure everyone else survived and lived and grew in the academy. But with each new day he's realizing it goes beyond surviving, apparently decision, choices and deals made here, have real world consequences for the families and powers students represent. So quite frankly no one else could do this, if not for anything but for accountability, should s.h.i.+t really go wrong, he had sufficient power backing him to put things in place.

Alex was scrolling through an area known as the Academy Market, when he noticed a man shakily walk into an alley, seemingly drunk. But given that he was covered with blood, Alex doubted he was drunk. No one else seemed to see him, which was weird, but even more so was the five year old girl following behind him with blood all-over her pristine white dress, and a kitchen knife stuck in her chest. Alex was already intrigued, but when they went through a wall, effectively going into the rock wall of the canyon Alex couldn't help but speak out.

"What the h.e.l.l was that!"
