Leonardo took a moment to observe these two. They looked ordinary at best. Of course, when compared to cultivators on their level they seemed ordinary, but any cultivator would stand out as very handsome or astounding beautiful when placed in a crowd of non-cultivators.
Well, thinking back to Eelizabeth's otherworldly beauty in a world of non-cultivators, Leonardo began to wonder whether the two girls had successfully refined the 5th-tier treasures and improved their constitutions in order to start cultivating.
By the time he met Merlin and Elizabeth next, their cultivation must have allowed their natural charm to skyrocket. Sivan blinked her watery eyes and looked into Leonardo's honey-brown optics, awaiting a response from the young lad.
Laughing awkwardly, Leonardo rubbed the back of his head. "You can call me Attendant Ye… Brother Gal, sister Sivan."
"Good brother!"
"Good brother!"
Gal touched down on Leonardo's shoulder while Sivan clapped her hands in excitement. To advisors, their cultivation realm didn't matter as their wisdom reflected their value, not their strength. No one expected them to run off to the frontlines; they were your orthodox armchair generals who support the frontlines from the rear of the battlefield.
Having established a relationship with a potential future advisor, the two servants were beyond exhilarated. With kind smiles, they enveloped Leonardo with their quintessential essence that had a pale sliver of ether and carried him along, rushing in the direction of the pagoda.
Leonardo allowed himself to be carried away as he feigned anxiousness due to the 'incredible' speed, eliciting a charming giggle from Sivan. In their opinion, they had done Attendant Ye a great favor today as not every Tier 1 cultivator had the chance of being escorted personally by a Tier 3 cultivator, let alone two of them.
In about twenty minutes of flying and chatting, the party of three finally landed by the three massive structures. As they landed, Leonardo realized that even if he snapped his neck by looking up, he wouldn't see the end of either buildings flanking the pagoda, let alone the pagoda itself.
Appearing to have expected this outcome, Gal smiled faintly to the side and kindly explained, "As I've mentioned already, you were observing from an optical illusion; you can call it a natural formation…
"The sizes of these structures may seem large in your eyes, but to great figures on the level of our Commanding General, this outer shell is meaningless since the rooms inside are independent dimensions."
Gal explained with zeal as he gestured.
A nine-layered pagoda with nine independent dimensions, two buildings each housing three independent dimensions respectively; all fifteen are organized inside yet another independent dimension.
This entire spectacle might sound simple to the mind and ears, but Gal continued to emphasize that this isn't something any rebirth realm cultivator can achieve. Legends say that the ancestors of the seven families in the Seven Stars Province worked hand in hand to establish these hidden dimensions when the nine sectors were established near the boundaries of the Jin Dynasty.
Even though these seven families were located in an isolated region from the corner of the dynasty, their influence in the Imperial Court is as prevalent as the influence of the great provincial level and prefecture-level officials centered near the capital.
"You're finally here," a yawn came from the front door to the library. Then, the figure of the young scholar with long flowing, black hair and simple white robes appeared in everyone's vision.
"Military Advisor!"
Gal and Sivan were shocked, and they hurriedly saluted with respect. Especially Sivan, she acted as though she was caught by her superior while slacking on duties. The Military Advisor waved it off with a faint smile, speaking gently.
"I see that you have already met with Attendant Ye, Sivan. That's good, you can take him around the library's first and second floors for the following few days; make sure he grasps the general situation."
"I understand!" Sivan nodded her head, quickly grabbing Leonardo by the sleeves of his robe and rushing into the library. She was shocked that the Military Advisor would personally welcome this Attendant Ye into the library.
On their way here, Gal and Sivan explained to Leonardo about three people he must not offend no matter what. The Left Wing and Right Wing Advisors respectively and their supervisor, the Military Advisor. These three are people without names or backgrounds to speak of as they had all been erased.
It could be said that they had no present, past, or future except for their strategic value to the Qing Sector. The Left Wing and Right Wing are present at almost every meeting for a military campaign, and the person who personally nurtured them is no other than the Military Advisor.
Of course, twenty minutes wasn't a lot of time and the two didn't speak much to Leonardo, but even if they had plenty of time they wouldn't dare talk openly and carelessly in this domain.
They informed Leonardo of the speculations that the Left Wing and Right Wing were Tier 5 cultivators respectively while the Military Advisor is supposedly a Tier 6.
Sivan was counting her lucky stars while reflecting on every word she said and the gestures she did while talking on her way here, convincing herself that she hadn't said anything out of line.
After deep and careful consideration, Sivan heaved a sigh of relief and patted her tight chest bound by the maid outfit.
"I'm safe," she murmured to herself.
Crack!
Sivan froze, realizing that she was so anxious she might have applied a little bit too much force in her grip while leading Leonardo away. She hurried to withdraw her hand in fright and looked down at Leonardo's wrist which twisted out of shape.
Clearly, she broke him.
Leonardo gave this woman a weird look, caught between laughter and tears. It wasn't easy to feign a dislocation in his wrist, let alone have his bones break without drawing the attention of the Military Advisor.
"Attendant Ye! I'm sorry, I…" Sivan almost started crying, but her words got stuck in her throat when Leonardo flicked his wrist, and with another crack, the dislocated bones reconnected.
"Good as new, sister Sivan," he waved his hand casually with a faint smile.
