Zach walked inside the underground place from where faint tremors were transmitting through the surface.
A huge stony door appeared and as he stepped inside it, the sight of a man wielding a huge greatsword reflected in his eyes.
Inside a huge aisle made with a reinforced sturdy wall, a single man was training in there.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Gales raged through the place and hit the wall causing it to shake.
Surging mana similar to the eruption of the volcano transmitted to him which almost pushed him a few steps back.
Zach's robes fluttered due to the heavy winds.
With a hoarse voice, he wanted to speak about something but a shadow appeared beside her and asked him to stop.
"Don't disturb him now, "Riya spoke with a faint whisper.
Zach closed his lips and observed Ales silently.
Alex was using an artifact known as the Deadweight Greatsword. As the name sounds, it was a deadweight meaning it was quite heavy for normal people to use for and the more mana one put in it, the heavier it became.
One of the buyers who tries to take it unknowingly caused the entire floor to break due to the weight.
Not only was it heavy, it was also blunt. There was no sharpness in it, that's why many deemed it useless.
But Alex found it a great thing to train and deal with undead if any case arises in future.
Sharp swords generally struck while piercing through and as the sword passed innumerable undead it started to become dull so generally blunt weapons were a better choice.
Alex lifted a huge greatsword over his head and arched his back forward.
Crimson mana overlapped the sword and burst all around him.
The ground under his foot cracked due to the heavy pressure.
The sword's weight seemed to increase by several thousand in an instant. The veins in his arms bulge outward.
Alex twisted his wrist and swung his sword all over his body in a clockwise motion five times and then repeated it counterclockwise five times and kept on repeating with his right hand.
After a certain interval, he repeated the same with his left and did it similarly for a few sets.
It was his daily workout to repeat the sets a hundred times.
The enormous mana released by him filled the entire space causing its breakdown.
The mana that was released by him wasn't wasted, rather it was recycled.
As mana filled the entire room, many magic circles on the walls glowed and sucked the mana slowly.
Mana crystals became useless pieces of decoration after being used but they could be charged again by some methods.
The mana pumped out from Alex was stored and used to recharge the crystals.
Zach stared at Alex's back and admired him deeply.
"His figure is a piece of art," Zach muttered as he saw Alex's well-formed bareback from which sweat dropped like a waterfall.
Cough...Cough...
Riya flinched while giving Zach a weird gaze and thought of distancing himself.
Zach caught Riya's gaze and coughed a little to shake away the uneasiness.
As they observed Alex, they were taken by the sound of a faint crackle coming from Alex's wrist.
Zach swallowed his saliva as he saw the swollen wrist of Alex. It seems some bones snapped in Alex's wrist.
Just seeing the scene gave him excruciating pain and he wondered how this guy could turn a blind eye to this.
BANG!
The DeadWeight sword was planted on the ground which made the ground shake with rumble.
Alex took a deep breath and looked at his body condition.
His body was in a mess.
Every part of his body was screaming in pain and wanted him to take a rest. Even after all this, Alex didn't use a healing spell and relied on himself to recover.
He turned back and was a bit surprised to see Zach's expression.
Riya appeared before Alex and wrapped a towel over Alex's naked upper body while taking a few peaks on his chest.
Alex smiled seeing Riya's cute expression and asked Zach"What brought you here?"
"How is your training going, Sir Alex?"
"It's good. This thing helps a lot." Alex spoke with satisfaction and looked at the huge seven feet black greatsword.
"Sir Alex, we have encountered a bit of trouble."
"Is it due to the Golden water?"
"Yes!"
"Who wants to dig his own grave?" Alex asked with an amused expression.
"Things are a bit different this time. The one who came to visit was an Honorary Knight of Arkham Sir Wilford."
"Ohh!"
Alex was surprised by the word Honorary Knight.
Arkham provides this title to those who achieved Mythic rank and become Imperial Knights.
"Sir Wilford said he doesn't care about the Golden Water. He just wanted an audience with you."
"He wants to offer his gratitude at the same time he wants to ask you for a way to make Arkham back to its previous state as quickly as possible."
"The distribution of Golden Water is still insufficient and if it goes on like this, it will take a few years for Arkham to stand back on its feet and time is what we don't have."
Alex rubbed his chin thinking for a moment and wondering whether they were about to find out anything.
The Main Branch of the Church and Magic tower lies in the neutral territory of Meissner which is quite close to rocky mountains inhabited by Dwarf so Arkham couldn't send them a sample and get their reply this fast.
"Did he come on his own or under someone else's order?"
"He came with His Majesty's Order?"
"Does His Majesty want to meet me?"
"No, he is too ill to even get up?"
Wondering about the pros and cons, Alex said"Let's set up the meeting?"
"Are you sure about it?" Riya asked with a startled expression.
"Yeah, I am sure about it," Alex replied with a grin after all, supplying Golen water could also provide an opportunity to talk with the Royal and this was what he was aiming for.
"Schedule the meeting for tomorrow."
