Fernando goes to the capital part 2
cp19
"Brother, how did you become so strong these past few years?"
Felicia's voice pulled Fernando out of his thoughts, he looked at Felicia with a smile and said.
" I'll tell you my secret if you give me a stack of spirit crystal."
Felicia covered her storage ring and said.
"Who wants to know your secrets? I'm clearly going to surpass you again."
"I doubt that in this life my little sister can surpass me, instead of training you are wandering around looking for treasure here and there."
Fernando suddenly became serious.
" Felicia , what happened last time must not happen again, John is your nephew and as such you must be more helpful to him."
In the kingdom, aunts and uncles had a very important role to play towards their nephews and nieces; they were like a second father and mother. Certain matters or aspects of a child's development should be delegated to the uncles, especially if such matters were in any way inconvenient to the parents.
Felicia , being John's aunt, has certain responsibilities to fulfill . In this regard, she was responsible for transmitting the culture and customs of the kingdom. She would be the one to watch over John's social circle and transmit family beliefs and values.
Aunts and uncles not only had obligations to fulfill, they also had some benefits if their nephew was someone worthy before his parents, the aunt's approval in certain family aspects was very important, even if it was not definitive.
Felicia knew she was wrong, so she didn't refute Fernando's words.
"I'll be going to the capital in two weeks."
"But John's birthday is in a few days! " Felicia exclaimed.
"That's not a big deal, I was summoned, I can't be late."
"There will be a meeting of all the Lords without exception, I really have to go"
Fernando thought for a moment before continuing.
"I want you to do something for me."
"You can count on me, brother."
Fernando took flight, Felícia followed him, now the two were flying at a gentle speed while talking, Fernando spoke.
"While I'm away you must watch over the territory, but most importantly you must take good care of John."
Felicia didn't say anything, she continued flying beside Fernando, the wind whipping her hair, her fiery figure was even more attractive because she had a serious and attentive face.
"You must teach him the sea-splitting sword."
Felicia narrowed her eyes and spoke in confusion.
"The Sea-Dividing Sword? How could I do that if he's just a primitive being."
There were two types of people, there were normal people also known as primitive beings, these had not yet embarked on the path of evolution, the other type of people, are called evolved beings, but they prefer to be called evolving beings.
Between the two types of people, the difference was the core of evolution, which was obtained through a ritual dependent on the chosen path, there were hundreds of paths, hundreds of rituals, and hundreds of professions or classes of evolution.
It was common knowledge that primitive beings, because they did not have an evolutionary nucleus, could not learn the skills of an evolved being, for arts, spells as well as other skills, the nucleus was the mandatory requirement.
Fernando asked Felícia to teach an art to a primitive being, it was inconceivable, she looked at Fernando and asked.
"How? "
"You won't teach the art itself, that would be impossible."
"Just teach him the positions of the art as well as the theoretical knowledge, so that when the time comes he can learn the art on his own."
Fernando sighed and said.
"Two years."
Felicia asked.
"What will happen in two years?"
Fernando smiled and said.
"A lot of things , I will be in the capital for two years, the institute will receive new students in two years."
"When I return from the capital, we will perform the ritual for John and Alex, his journey through the world will begin there, of course as a father I will do my best to help, but the institute's missions will be dangerous, his life or death will be left to fate and the goddess."
Felicia asked.
"And John's uniqueness?"
Fernando responded discouragedly.
"I know almost nothing about it, when I'm in the capital I'll ask Albert for help ."
Felicia asked in surprise.
"To, crazy researcher?"
"He is the most capable person in the kingdom in the areas of research and development, magic, matrix, magic circles, soul energy, he researches everything, if there is a chance of discovering something then Albert would be the right person."
Felicia knew that although Albert was a research madman, his knowledge was unrivaled in the kingdom, she then noticed something.
"And how do you get that crazy researcher here?"
Fernando replied confidently.
"He owes me a favor."
Felicia was surprised, it was very difficult to request the services of researcher Albert , even the royal family was no exception, he only cared about what he found interesting, Felicia continued asking.
"What about confidentiality? If he discovers something forbidden on John's body, how will we deal with it?"
Fernando smiled and said.
"It's simple, just sign a confidentiality agreement."
"Will he accept?"
"If he refuses, he will not lay a finger on my son's body. Returning to the other matter, the ritual expenses will be paid by you."
When Felicia heard the words, they will be paid by you, her body trembled, she stopped in the air and said.
"No way, you're the father, take care of your son."
"I can even teach you for free, but I won't spend any elemental crystals for the ritual."
Fernando pretended to be upset and spoke with an intimidating air.
"Okay, since you don't accept this punishment, I'll beat you until you learn to be responsible."
As the words fell, a crushing pressure descended, Fernando's body released a frightening soul energy, it was the prelude to summoning a soul creature.
Roar.
The creature had not yet appeared, but a deafening roar sounded, all the creatures below, the strongest fled in fear, the weak bowed, there were others who fainted in fear, when Felicia felt the pressure she knew that her earth dragon would be no match to deal with Fernando's creature.
When Fernando's creature was about to appear, Felicia screamed in fright.
"Okay, I accept."
Fernando retracts the aura of his soul creature.
"I will contribute 10% of the ritual."
Felicia spoke with indignation written all over her face, the retracted pressure returned and a roar louder than the previous one sounded throughout the forest.
"25% Felicia spoke hurriedly."
Roar.
"30%
Roar"
"40%
Roar
not give 50% but no percentage."
Roar
Felicia's heart was bleeding, paying 50% in two rituals was her limit, she couldn't bear to spend her own money, if Fernando imputed her more into a dead end, she would rather be beaten by Fernando than give more than 1% above 50%.
Fernando's creature began to take shape.
"I won't give an extra 1%, you'll just rip out my crystals over my dead body."
With a determined look, a roar sounded and an earth dragon appeared, Fernando knew he wouldn't be able to make Felicia contribute but, if he continues, he might lose the 50% he already achieved, he retracts his creature about to form and said.
"Okay 50% then."
Felicia also withdrew her creature. She was listless, feeling as if she had lost someone important to her family. The two accelerated their flight, and very quickly, they reached Venhorst Castle on the plains.
