"Ok," Thomas realised that his master wasn't looking for him, but for Remy. and soon, that refined looking lady appeared in front of William.
"You really know how to entice the audience," she chuckled as she approached with Thomas, motioning her head towards the crazy folks around, "minutes ago they were complaining, and now they are shouting in excitement. That's a great skill if you asked me."
"I didn't intend for any of this to happen," William shrugged, before finally adding what he wanted her to do, "I want a desk, lots of scrolls, in different sizes, and enough ink pots and brushes."
"This…" the expression over Remy's face was priceless. She thought he'd ask for anything else, but never thought about any of this, "what for?"
"It's my business,"
"Ok," Remy wanted to know, but something told her she wouldn't get an answer from William. And so, she simply retreated and started to arrange what William demanded.
"Are we going to use these in there?" Thomas was different from Remy. After all, he was going in there with William and was going to help in deactivating the traps.
"You'll see inside," William nodded, moving his eyes around, feeling more excited about this betting event.
The show he didn't intend to do left behind a deep impression over everyone standing here. It was just like how Remy said, a good teaser that made people here all excited and thrilled.
The ones who were standing at the rear, those who already placed their bids, were feeling bored. But now? They started to get hyped up after what William did.
William saw many people flooding here from the horizon, and it seemed this place was going to be crowded for a long time.
"Here," Remy was indeed a pro. In less than ten minutes, she returned with a ring, the same ring William gave to her before, "everything you asked for is in here. And it's on the house."
"Enjoy the show," William got the ring, inspected its contents to find tons of scrolls inside, with many ink bottles, and few desks and seats.
He just asked for one desk and got ten of them. He didn't even ask for any seat, but Remy was attentive towards this point.
"Let's go," as William got what he wanted, it was time to start the big event. He went in there under the cheering chorus of all the people outside.
Without the need to say anything, all of the people here got what was going to happen.
William entered his territory to notice that not a single voice of what thundered out there appeared inside. And that told him a lot about how great the arrays here were.
"We are going to do it this way," William took out a desk, a large stack of scrolls, a brush and one ink bottle. He placed everything on the desk, before pointing towards the distance, "you'll use your technique for a minute, cancel it, and then draw what you saw."
"This…" Thomas never expected this was the plan of his master, "the world when I saw it before was like a gigantic galaxy of stars! How can I do it?"
"It's easy," William looked at the vast area of his territory before adding, "start with the first stars closest to here. Don't look at the general layout in a whole but focus only over the first ten lines and their stars. Take your time in doing this."
"But…"
*Thud!* William took one bottle of elixirs out, "you are going to deplete your spirit power once every half a minute. Drink one droplet of this elixir before starting your technique."
"Is it enough?!" Thomas didn't want to suffer anything like what happened to him before.
pαndα`noν?1~сoМ "This is an elixir not some useless potion," William rolled his eyes, knowing that this youth here didn't even taste a single elixir ever before in his life, "a single drop of this can last for hours! That's why you can take your time slowly. Make sure to memorise stars and threads linking them, then draw all this over these scrolls. It's just simple like this."
"Got it!" Thomas felt more confident when heard what Wiliam just said. He didn't experience any elixirs before as William suspected. After all, for someone like him, affording the price was out of his league.
"Let's start then," William didn't know if this method would work or not. But if trying to detonate the traps failed, then the only option he got was to analyse the general layout of the entire trap system here.
Something told him that dude of ancient times knew lots about him. And if so, then this dude would leave behind a way to crack these traps, a way that only William would be able to understand.
Thomas started to activate his technique after taking a single droplet of the elixir. As William said, the moment he took this drop, he felt like he got a furnace inside his spirit.
He felt like he got access to an endless supply of spirit power, one that could satisfy his needs not only for hours, but for days.
As he got such a feeling, his worries vanished in thin air. He started to focus more on checking the world around, seeing the flashing stars and threads not as scary as before.
"Good boy," William stood by the side and watched Thomas start drawing on the scrolls. Thomas kept his eyes over the world around, before turning to the scroll and started drawing.
In Thomas' eyes, everything was connected by karma. And that made the scroll and desk, the ink bottle and brush, only linked to William, looking different in his eyes than the world around.
He didn't need to shut down his technique and kept doing this for hours! William knew this could be done, but he also knew his boy's mindset. And so, he advised Thomas to take his time slowly to build up his confidence and wash away his fear of the technique.
