Lirian found the talk about gods a little troublesome, as he listened to Stella speak of the world's history.
Gods could not exist within the mortal realm that was a fact, but Lirian was also aware that this world was special.
It was a world marked by the gods, and the gods had means to influence the world, all this talk about gods was a bit confusing, especially since the knowledge of the people of Nebula-6 was not all that great.
For all Lirian knew, the people they called gods, were merely those who became immortals, or it could just as well be some avatar that the gods placed on the planet.
Lirian couldn't be sure, but he knew that these ladies mental faculties weren't all that great either.
These ladies were likely of a similar mindset as that stupid adept in House Kurt and believed that the cultivation of all three centre's of power is a dead end path, in truth that is why Lirian labelled the nobles as blasphemers against cultivation.
Such ignorance was a crime in Lirian's book, it was a crime worthy of having one's entire family exterminated, if Lirian were to rule the world, he'd label all such people as a plague that needed to be eradicated.
And anyone sharing the blood of such ignorant fools were bound to have the potential to create faulty minded ignorant fools once again, hence the need to exterminate their entire lineage and ensure that such stupidity never again is born.
"So, you're saying that man is from Unity, and he launched that attack last night because he wants to claim House Kurt's cultivation chambers?" Selma asked after a while.
Stella gave a quick nod and said no more, as the mood turned grave, the ladies started to worry after what they had learnt.
If what Stella said was to be believed, then it meant that House Kurt had another enemy asides, from the two noble houses, and it was an enemy they could not take lightly, no it was an enemy that was far more powerful than they could handle.
Unity had made its name well known, by the terror that they brought upon some of the major cities, just fifty years ago, The Twin Towers, a major city on the east coast of Mithland and probably the most well-fortified of all the cities was brought to its knees.
Unity killed two of the heavenly emperors that were stationed in the twin towers, if not for the arrival of reinforcements from Blindwatch, The Twin Towers would have existed no more.
Against such powers, a noble house like House Kurt was worthless, Lord Rupid would have to consider himself honoured if he was granted the position of a common soldier in such armies.
Lirian keenly listened in on all their conversations that followed, however, there wasn't much else that happened.
Lirian heard that the cavalry charge had almost run over the branched head of the merchant's guild when they emerged from the keep.
From what Lirian heard he was camping outside the keep gates, with carriages full of gold, all to buy the 'secret formula', that House Kurt used to clean up the city.
Other than that, Lirian was disappointed to hear that after the cavalry charge House Kurt shut the gates of the keep once more and continued to refuse all contact with the city.
'Just what in the world are those guys up to, after last night they can't seriously think that I'll just leave them alone if they continue to hide,' Lirian wondered curiously, House Kurt's approach was pretty stupid to begin with, and Lirian felt like he'd become stupid if he tried to understand the minds of those simpletons.
Suddenly a strange sound started to echo throughout the city, Lirian's ears twitched as he heard what sounded like metal grating against stone, and when he looked at the three ladies, they were also looking around with alertness.
It seemed that they could hear it as well, one of the neighbouring rooms door suddenly swung open, created a loud noise and shortly after that more and more doors started to open within 'The Red Boar'.
Lirian stopped playing the lute and quickly opened the door to see what was going on, and he found that there were dozens of people within the corridor all looking at each other.
"You there," a noble man pointed at Lirian when he noticed Lirian's uniform, "What is the meaning of all this noise?"
"I pay a lot to enjoy my meals in silence, which I can't do because of this this loud racket, you go and tell the owner that I'm not paying if this racket continues for another second," the man spoke with an arrogance that only kings could have, but as Lirian checked the man's cultivation he sighed.
'Just a lowly novice and his stuck in the earlier stages at that, how does he even have it in him to be so arrogant?' Lirian couldn't help but wonder.
Lirian yawned after listening to the man's threat, "The sound doesn't originate from The Red Boar or it's premises, as such you have no grounds on which you can withhold your payment" Lirian said in a plain tone, "But if you're short on money and can't afford to pay for what you ordered, I don't mind loaning you some money to cover your bills," said Lirian with a twinkle in his eye.
Lirian like most of the people present already knew that the sound did not originate from 'The Red Boar', the man was obviously trying to find a way to skip out on his bill and any attempts to appease the man would simply be met with ridicule from the man, so Lirian didn't entertain his tantrum.
He merely offered an insult that no noble with any pride could take, if a noble needed to borrow money from a lowly waiter, a servant, it would be a source of ridicule that would follow them forever.
Some of the ladies brought their hands to their mouths as they laughed at the man, they knew exactly what he was trying to do, so they couldn't help themselves when he was backed into a corner by a common waiter.
As Lirian glanced behind the man he noticed that their were woman in the room he left, 'Ah, so he wanted to look like a big deal to impress some ladies,' Lirian realised, "How much are you short on?" Lirian asked and pulled out his coin purse, which was loaded with money after his last day of playing the lute.
The noble gritted his teeth in anger, but as he looked at the coins that Lirian started to pull out, his mouth widened with shock as he found that the waiter had more money on him than he got as an allowance from his family.
It wasn't just him, but several others who were watching the scene that were surprised by the wealth possessed by Lirian a waiter.
"I can pay for myself," the noble spat through gritted teeth and returned to his room, his attempts to make himself look like a big deal in front of the woman was completely foiled by a waiter.
With the commotion settled, the people turned their attention back to the noise, and rushed out of The Red Boar.
Some went to the gardens, while others went to the streets, and they quickly pinpointed the source of the sound, it was coming from the keep.
