Chapter 152 - Ugly!

handing over the methods of making the three talismans and the 15 furnaces to the royal family really did not bother him much...

Handing over the furnaces can be like simply raising their quota of categorized weapons, and that would only hurt him by a few thousand, or at most, a few tens of thousands of gold coins per month, which is nothing when compared to any single industry he has, like the sound talisman carriers for example!

As for the methods of making three talismans, this is the price of playing with higher-ups.

He didn't make them from the start to keep them to himself, they would all be distributed sooner or later for the right price, 

the only thing in his mind about this was that he now have to make more kinds of talismans and techniques quickly before he needed something else big from the royal family...

---------------------------

After this call with the sage, he went back with full focus on his research

Over the past month, he has proceeded a long way in transmitting information mentally and he finally got to the final moments, so the next two weeks Robin spent almost in complete seclusion.

The whole issue was to change the method of transmission from first storing the information in a medium and then transmitting it, to direct transmission from a soul to a soul

and although it tired Robin somewhat, it was only routine steps that Robin had thought well before he started in the first place.

So at the end of two weeks... Robin succeeded in creating a technique to communicate between souls directly!

The technology has a few minor problems, first, they targeted individuals who will receive the soul message have to be in the scope of you the soul sense of the transmitter, direct long distance soul messages is impossible...

the other and most importantly, it drains a great amount spiritual power when used

It is not like a medium equipped with seals, spiritual strength, and natural energy and ready for this particular task, the entire burden is on the soul of the person who sends the soul message, so it is useful for saying a piece of information or a very small conversation, which cannot be used for a long talk, let alone passing techniques!

However, he was very satisfied with it.. and he did not come out directly from his isolation after that. 

He taught those around him not to disturb him until the knights and saints return from the new lands.. and after a month and a half, no one has returned yet.

The issue was a bit unsettling, but there was no need to worry about a group of Saints and high-ranking knights, so he didn't think a lot about this...

at that, he set out on the next most important research: the Burton family's existing elites technique.

Previously, he had asked the Patriarch to send a copy of the law techniques owned by the family, and it was finally time to open them.

The patriarch sent 3 first-grade techniques, those three given to those who don't have much talent from the Burton family... 

they are most likely not going to reach knighthood in their lives anyway, so there is no need to spread the second-grade techniques among them

And he also sent two second-grade techniques, those two are dedicated to the talented youngsters in the family, who will be cared for directly by the family and give them the resources and support to reach the knighthood at least.

These five techniques are owned by the royal family and widely distributed to all the nobles of the kingdom, there is nothing special in them

Since the moment he decided to hold the first technique book, Robin's features have begun to change with every line he reads.

in every minute he goes through many different emotions, sometimes astonishment and amazement, sometimes anger and insults, and sometimes hysterical laughter...

He had browsed through one of these techniques in the past before he left the family and he saw it as an extremely valuable treasure, but now.. it can only be described as a world-class chef that is asked to rate the taste of garbage.

After Robin mastered the perfect Major Law of Fire, it could be said that he rolled the first grade of the Fire Path under his armpit... All the Minor Laws are somehow splintered from the Major Law.

But by reading these techniques... he was hardly able to determine which Minor law they were talking about, even after reading the books more than once!

They are so distorted that they are so ugly, especially the three first-grade techniques... It is simply impossible to make the second degree of these laws based on what he sees in the first grade, It would be like building a castle on Quicksand 

The same is true for the second grade ones, the amount of distortions in these techniques makes progressing from one level to the next one within the saint-hood extremely difficult, the chance of reaching level 27 is basically non-existent... 

In fact, the breakthrough of Patriarch Brian to level 26 is already a miracle and proof of his rare genius.

As he flipped through the book in his hand trying to understand what it leads to, a voice came from outside, "Sir Robin, the knights, and saints from our new lands have arrived, they are now with the Patriarch."

Robin quickly closed the book in his hand and let out a long exhale as if he had found an excuse to get away from this ugliness, Then he took two scrolls into his pockets and ran out.

On his way out, he told one of the guards to summon Theo for him to go immediately to the patriarch's office, and then continued on his way...

------------------------

"So you are Robin..."

"This is the first time I've seen him, too."

"Haha, our family is blessed that you were born among us."

"Robin, this is your Uncle David."

Welcoming words and smiles filled the main hall of the Patriarch's building after Robin arrived

5 Saints including Billy and the Patriarch, and about 15 high-ranking knights gathered around Robin after he entered and began exchanging compliments... 

All the people here are the pillars of the Burton family, they all know who Robin is in the family and what his role is in everything that happens around them.

even though some of them had not seen him until this moment.. when he was young, they did not pay much attention to him, only the patriarch and a few knights were interested in the new talents,

and after he grew up and ignited the fuse of the Dolivar war, they were sent to Dolivar before he returned to the family, they fought there before they saw who are they fighting for...

The courtesies lasted for about half an hour, until finally, Robin pointed toward the seats, "Uncles please, I have something to speak with you about."

None of them felt strange that Robin was telling them what to do, they had literally just come from the lands he had won for them...

He waited until he took his seat, then said, "I will get into the point directly, and please do not take my words as an offense... During the past period, I have found many problems in the Burton family and I have worked hard to solve most of them, but there is one problem that still worries me... It is you."

Those present looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what he was talking about... Does he mean that there was a traitor?

"Let me explain more.. the biggest problem in the Burton family now are the heads, we don't have enough saints, without saints we will always need outside help in any war.. because we can't take family lands by military force while they have high level saints wandering around freely.. in that case, we will live our whole lives in fear."

"This." At last, they understood what was going on, but not what he wanted of them, until David spoke, "Haha, you didn't ask us to come today to scold us, right?"

"I scold you? How dare this little one?" Then he took a scroll from his 

pocket and laid it out in front of them, "Please touch it with your spiritual sense."

Without further delay they all did so.. except for Billy and the Patriarch, the rest closed their eyes as if they had fallen asleep...

"Isn't this the energy cultivation technique? What are you going to do?" Billy asked, surprised, but found no answer.

Robin remained silent as everyone started to open their eyes one by one and looked at each other in amazement until the last of them opened their eyes, Robin spoke again, "Starting today you no longer need to supervise anything in the family business or military wise for the next 4 years... 

all What you have to do is use this technique with all possible energy stones you can find to increase your strength in the coming period, you all need to break through to higher levels before the war starts."
