"Hey! Watch out! I'm serving the almighty maste… Ouch! Why did you hit my head?!" And just as he got abruptly woken up from his deep sleep, this dude seemed to be in the middle of his dream or something.
He jumped up, shouting like a crazy fellow, while speaking nonsense. And that made William close his fist and land it over this dude's head to make him shut up.
"Shut up! Did no one ever tell you before that you snore when you sleep? It's embarrassing! You are now representing me, so stop doing such things ever again!"
William didn't go lightly on this dude and shouted while walking towards the door of Thomas' room.
"Master," and before he'd reached there, Thomas opened the door and greeted him in his usual cold and monotonous tone.
"Did they bring the food over?" William already got used to this dude's cold attitude. He went inside the room, to find a much simpler one in front of his eyes.
It was around one hundred metres square, divided into a sleeping room and a hall. William liked how it was simple out here but didn't like how insecure this place was.
On the table in the middle of the hall, he found lots of food trays. It seemed the restaurant delivered the food three times at least so far. And he spotted many trays already opened as a sign that these two already got their meals.
William didn't say anything about this and went towards these and inspected their content.
"Did they send anything else? Like a token or something?" William stood in front of the trays, inspecting their content, while asking Thomas and Trevor about that.
"Oh, I almost forgot it," Trevor got jolted awake, moved to one corner and there he grabbed a box, "they said there is something here for the master."
William got the box, while giving the two a silent look. They should have told him about this without the need for him to ask.
As he expected, the content of this box was a token, something that could be worn using a chain.
"What's with chains!" This wasn't the first time to see a token with a chain like this. And like before, he tossed it inside his ring, not caring about checking it for now.
Instead, he returned to check the food.
"Master, this food is really out of this world! Are we going to eat such awesome meals every day?" And just as he was inspecting the contents of each tray, Trevor said in a loud and noisy tone.
"That's in case I decided to let you live with me for any longer," William gave him a warning glance, and that dude got the warning and kept his mouth shut.
"Then master… What are we going to do now?"
"Nothing," William sat down and started to eat a tendon piece of a dark gold bull monster. It was juicy, filled with fat, and grilled in a very professional way. The moment he took a single bite, he could even feel his abdomen screaming out in delight.
But that didn't prevent William from being overly cautious. He wouldn't dare to speak about any of his intentions in this place, when many ears and eyes were fixed over every single move of his.
William kept eating, while Trevor and Thomas stood on his side, watching in silence as their master kept devouring one tray after another.
William didn't realise how hungry he was. And this wasn't just simply a hunger of his body, but also the hunger of his spirit.
After stirring his spirit up, it needed lots of nutrition. Spirit power was one thing, and the meals delivered here were also helping his spirit in another way.
So, William didn't feel himself until he finished all the meals here, taking close to three hours in doing this.
"Damn master! I never thought you'd have such a bottomless belly!" as he finished, Trevor couldn't help but mutter in immense shock. And William realised by this comment what he just did.
"I'm going to rest," William patted on his bulged belly like a fat bear who ate a ton of honey, "stay out of trouble, and don't wander outside."
ραпdα Й?νê|(сòm) "Sure master, don't even doubt that," Trevor shouted like usual, while Thomas simply nodded.
William wanted to test this dude's spirit, test what type of spirit and elements he got. He also wanted to impart a few techniques to Thomas. But right now, he was really sleepy, and he couldn't resist sleep anymore.
So, he went to his room like a drunk, supporting himself while walking by leaning on the walls, before finally closing the door behind and throwing his body on the bed.
The moment he touched the soft mattress there, he lost himself in deep sleep.
—------------------------------------
Away from the Scorching Lands main fort, and in a place that was so dark and deep inside the forest, a series of hills were there.
This place was known in the entire region for being the home of scary monsters, led by the all scary Scarlet Bears.
The place was void of any humans in general. But right now, a group of people, around fifty, were walking in the middle of this dangerous and deadly place.
It was a bit weird, but what was weirder was that any monster here got to clear the way in front of this little group of spirit masters.
They were all wearing black cloaks, covering up their bodies and faces. They walked in steady steps, going in a path that seemed they already were familiar with.
"Sir, what a pleasant surprise to meet you here," and as the group walked through the gathering of hills and monsters, they ended up in front of a special hill.
It was in the middle of all the hills clustered here. But that wasn't all. This hill got a red muddy look on the outside, like it was a volcano and released bright lava out.
