The Reborn Heavenly Swordmaster.
Port of Crastille

Chapter 11: the:

「 Port City Crastille 」

As they were about to return on their way to the city of Crastille, Merlin came and knocked on the glass door of the horse carriage. He did not say it directly, but Callian could understand with the intent of the gesture made by Merlin.

Callian simply responded by waving his hand. Merlin also immediately nodded in understanding, the movements of the two of them made Amy feel confused and curious. But his curiosity was not at all concerned by Callian.

Merlin is seen walking up to Antoni and his party members, he immediately returned the gold bag that was asked to be returned by Antoni to Callian. As there were more gold coins in the bag than what had been promised, Antoni also felt that he was not worthy to accept it because basically this mission had failed him.

"Just accept. He did not seem to be short on gold coins at all. Don't make me harder than this!." Merlin said firmly that he would not help Antoni again for anything.

Antoni with a heavy heart could only accept it, and could only see when the horse carriage started to drift away.

Of course Amy was confused at first why the Red Eagle Party that was supposed to escort them, was walking in the opposite direction. But fortunately, the author Merlin can explain it and make Amy believe the story of his lie.

"No need to worry, it's natural that they prioritize their families. Moreover, we are much safer with escorts from the knights of the Carlpenter family." Callian.

Hearing that Cecilia immediately let out a small laugh, as she knew the truth they were leaving because of being dishonorably expelled by Callian.

**

It is clear that Cecilia feels sore and feels very bored. But not with Callian who is still focused on the book he read.

"Aren't you tired of reading books?." Cecilia asked Callian because of her curiosity, as well as Amy.

Amy has seen Callian read books for a long time, as if she never gets bored at all.

"Do you know?." Callian asked Cecilia.

Cecilia spontaneously shook her head. And so does Amy, because Amy doesn't know either.

"That's because you didn't read the book. That's why you don't know!." Connect Callian.

Cecilia did not understand Callian at all, while Amy was now very upset to see Callian playing Cecilia.

"By reading a book, we can become aware of things we do not know. That's why if you want to know, you have to read a book." Callian spoke in a more serious tone.

Cecilia nodded in understanding, and did not know what Callian was doing. The two of them just sat quietly, while reading a book, even when they ate and drank, they still read it.

The only thing that could stop them from reading, was the interlude when Cecilia asked something about the thing she had read to Callian.

**

"Young master, we've reached the port city of Crastille." Amy told Callian when she could see the concrete walls surrounding the city.

Callian immediately stopped reading, as well as Cecilia, the two of them simultaneously looked at the beautiful scenery of the blue sea that seemed to stretch very wide.

The entrance queue of the city is very long, describing how crowded the atmosphere is in this port city. But after one of the Cecilia Knights came to approach the gate guard soldiers, the horse carriage that was boarded by Cecilia and Callian was immediately allowed to enter without checking, and passing through the queue of a hundred more chariots that were queuing into the city.

People began to wonder who was in the carriage.

Luckily Callian brought the books about the Annalise Kingdom nobles that he got from the academy, therefore he could he find out about the Carlpenter family. One of the books he read was because he was trying to find out about the Carlpenter family.

The Carlpenter family had a very close relationship with the Crastille family after one of Duke Carlpenter's daughters became engaged to Marquis Crastille's son.

It did not take long, for them to get to the residence. Cecilia got off the train, but not Callian and Amy.

"Are you going to leave immediately?. If you have no place to rest, here we will always welcome you." Said the female knight, who seemed to be her right hand Cecilia.

Callian resolutely rejected it, as he did not want to get more involved with the Carlpenter family affairs.

Accidentally helping the Duke's kidnapped daughter, he said it was more than enough to get in touch with the family.

"There's business I need to do right away. And you, don't let you get kidnapped again, it'll just trouble your family." Callian said before closing the door, and told the coachman to return to whip his horse.

Inside the horse carriage, Amy immediately scolded Callian who had said disrespectfully to the Dukes' daughter. The female knight also felt that Callian's words were not worthy of being thrown at a Duke's daughter, just seeing Cecilia laughing after hearing that, made her immediately not think about it at all.

After successfully making an excuse to keep Amy away, Callian was finally able to speak with Merlin. Merlin's escort mission is basically over, and Amy has also rewarded 50 coins for escorting them safely to the port city of Crastille, but without reason Merlin refused.

That is what makes Callian confused, and do not understand the purpose and purpose of Merlin refused the reward.

"Your mission is done, I'll add your pay as your cover money." Callian.

Merlin resolutely rejected it again, he did not want and needed money belonging to Callian.

"May I ask for my reward with another?." Ask Merlin. Even though he was afraid, he still ventured to say that.

"I'll agree to it if it's still within my capabilities." Reply Callian.

"I want to follow you, to learn how to become stronger." With a determined and hopeful highlight, Merlin is looking forward to the answer Callian will give.

Not rejection or acceptance, the answer given by Callian.

Callian even laughed out loud to tears. According to Merlin there is nothing funny at all, but for Callian it is very funny because he did not think Merlin wanted it.

"I will accept you as my man, and teach you how to be stronger. As long as you can show your usefulness!." Callian.

He is just like Unmei who thirsts for power, but he is calmer and more stable when compared to Unmei. His desire to become stronger was not due to resentment or hatred, he was purely thirsty for strength.

It was instantly reminiscent of his summoned companion, the Engineering Madman from Mount Hua.

Callian therefore wanted to test how determined it was.

"What should I do?." His reply spontaneously asked Callian with a very strong determination.

With a surprised face, Callian fell silent while looking at Merlin.

I like people like him!.

You think for a moment, to think about how he should test Merlin's worthiness in order to be useful to him.

"Gather all kinds of fundamental knowledge that exist in this world. And set up an Intelligence group in the capital, if you've managed to do that, come to the city of Axell and meet me!."

"Good." Without any doubt at all, Merlin immediately decisively answered him. Even he was about to leave Callian immediately, he was really the kind of smart person who would do anything to become strong.

Therefore before Merlin did his job to prove his worthiness, Callian gave some small gifts to him. And he was also very much looking forward to what surprise this power-hungry Witch would give.

Callian immediately left Merlin who was absorbing the technique given by him in the midst of the crowd of people who were passing by, and entered all his gold coins, which were his, which he got from stealing in the slave merchant's safe into Merlin's dimensional storage bag.
