Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

It was already evening and the sun was about to set, the sky was coloured in bright red colour as a middle aged man carrying a crossbow with a loaded arrow in his hand and a dagger on his side waist with body covered in dust walked towards his home.

Behind him was a beautiful blue haired woman wearing a purple military uniform with a long Raper sword in her hand as they walked through the forest and reached the road.

The tensed man released and looked at the beautiful woman.

"Thank you, Morrigan, for taking care of me during my journey to the deep part of the forbidden forest."

"It's part of my duty, So mister Bolt doesn't need to be thankful. As I have been ordered by the master to take care of his parents' safety."

Bolt looked at Morrigan who was serious and smiled"Let's go, it's already late. Kai's mother will be waiting for my return."

Morrigan nodded and took out a magic ball from her space ring and placed it on the ground; the ball transformed into a flying disk, seeing this Both and Morrigan stood up on it as they flew towards the town.

After half an hour, they landed on the ground standing before the gates of town illuminated by magic lamps with guards holding iron Spears on both sides.

Seeing Morrigan and Bolt, they bow.

Bolt nodded as he entered the town, the entire street was lit up with magic Lamps at both sides of the street and people were talking with each other, traveling merchants were selling their goods by creating temporary stools and saw children still playing in the park.

'So much has changed in four months. The streets which were mostly empty have started to become crowded with people. People from east regions have also started building houses in other parts and towns are expanding everyday.'

Reaching near his house, he found a pretty young man wearing fancy clothes getting kicked out of the door with his four friends accompanying him and saw Kai coming out wearing casual clothes with an iron stick in his hand.

Bolt looked at the young man and already knew that their regular life was going to get disturbed.

"Just you wait. I will make you pay to humiliate this young master."shouted the young man while getting carried by his friends.

Kai raised his eyebrows in displease, he had just returned back from his Royal capital city to check upon his parents but he never expected some spoiled brat from rich family will be causing trouble in his mother inn and Alice also came to help her after hearing the commotion and customer walking out of the inn in hurry, when she was passing by the streets.

Alice who came out of his inn had a sad expression on her face.

"Sorry."

Hearing that Kai patted her head,"Don't worry I know you could have easily taken care of those men, if you have not been going through the transformation process." 

Kai had been informed about the present condition of Alice's body, his teacher had strictly prohibited her from using magic because it can cause harm to the inner system of her body and mystic veins.

"Who are these guys anyway? I have never seen him before in this town?"

"Younger brother of the newly appointed townlord."said Bolt and walking towards them with Morrigan.

"Good evening Father."

"Good evening, son. Let's go inside and it's not good to talk about these things in open space."

Kai nodded.

Tarika, who was standing beside the reception, saw Bolt and Morrigan arrive and welcomed them.

Bolt nodded and he entered the bathroom to get refreshed.

Kai waited for his father to get a bath while helping his mother to pick up the dishes left behind by the customer on the table in a hurry and wash them.

Seeing this Tarika smiled and went to the kitchen to take out some snacks for Alice and Morrigan to eat.

Morrigan and Alice were looking at each other, both of them are already familiar with each other during their meeting inside the Academy.

They didn't take much with each other but after coming to the town and having more and more interaction with each. Alice already had an understanding about her personality and got to learn many new things about her water attribute magic and the world outside the Continent.

More she knows, the more she feels the need to grow and become powerful.

Unfortunately currently she can only wait and drink the world tree blessed water and wait for the completion of her transformation.

Alice smiled bitterly from her heart.

Kai who was washing the dishes was almost done when his father came out of the bathrooms with semi wet hair with towel around his neck with changed clothes and sat down on a chair beside Alice.

Morrigan didn't say anything and entered the Bathroom to take a bath.

Kai completed his work and came out of the kitchen and sat down with them while holding a glass of water in his hand and placed it on the table after drinking the water.

Kai smiled"How have you been father? How was today's hunt?"

Hearing that Bolt smiled delightfully,"Todays hunt was exciting but I was not able to caught any magic Beast from inner part of outer region of forbidden forest, we also encountered some groups of dark wolves but Morrigan took care of them easily and I got to learn many new things also thanks to your efforts. The condition of town has improved and more customers have started to come and visit the inn increasing our income. Merchants and new people have also started to show up as the rumours of construction of the city are picking up speed. Attracting businessmen to invest on this land."

Kai nodded and asked with a serious expression,"Father, Who is the new townlord appointed by the Almon city? I remembered Diana telling me that the townlord is a very kind and generous man."

"She didn't lie to you. He is really a great person with a big heart, it's just that his relatives are no good. That person you saw is the younger brother of the townlord 's wife and has been causing problems for the town people since his arrival, yesterday. It seems like the townlord wife was the daughter of a noble family before you dismantled the system and her brother had been spoiled by his father. The brother still thinks that he is a noble and treats ordinary citizens inferior to himself in status. Yesterday, Townlord himself went around the town to say sorry to everyone who was harassed by him and wanted to punish him but his wife didn't allow it and this guy didn't learn his lesson. His friends are also no good and are sons of high level officals and arrogant like him."

"I agree uncle Bolt, these guys are just too much. His friends ate the food with him and later refused to pay and also chased away the customer. When I entered he was threatening my aunt, by saying that they will get this inn closed and kick your family out of the town by telling his brother in law."

Kai frowned, he had not allowed anybody to know that his mother and father live here aside from some selective people. It was also his parents' choice to not get disturbed by any officials and treated like normal citizens. Now, all of a sudden a person came and tried to  insult his parents in his absence and even threatened them.

Seeing the anger in his son's eyes, Bolt tried to calm him down.

"You can deal with him later. You have arrived in time and your mother is also safe. Let's not spoil the moment and enjoy it. We have been planning to celebrate your graduation ceremony for some days but didn't know when you will arrive? Now that you are here. I can finally say it. Congratulations my son on graduating from the most prestigious Chronos Magic Academy and becoming the peak expert in the Continent."

"Thank you, father"

Just then, Kai heard the ringing sound of the main door bell and saw a couple enter the inn.

They were John and Mary, Alice's parents. Entering the house, they noticed Kai's presence and their daughter Alice sitting together with them and felt relieved.

"Father in law, Mother in law. Come sit, I want to talk about our marriage."

Both Bolt and Alice's parents were caught off guard.

Tarika who was cooking inside the kitchen also stopped due to her son's sudden shout.

Coming out she noticed Alice 's parents, her husband sitting on one side and her son on the other with Alice beside him with determined eyes.

Noticing Tarika, Alice's parents and Bolt called her to sit beside them.
