They started traveling and comfortably sitting inside the land cargo. Since they're down to just eight men, it became spacious. Old Drun created a big round table and ten chairs. They change the cargo's appearance to that of a regular land cargo being used by traveling merchants and low ranking noble. They removed the symbol of the beast clan. It is still powered by magic crystals. There's enough magic crystals left to reach the empire too. Some crystals were used in modifying the cargo, creating weapons and armors.

"Hey kid, hhmm. the book? The orb? Did the book produce it?" Old Drun asked. All of them are looking at Naga with great anticipation.

"Yes." Naga Answered.

"Based on what I learned, the orb was actually the excess energy of the book after thousand of years of being gestated by the pure energy of heaven and earth." Naga stopped after that.

These men were shocked and they are full of questions but they have chosen to listen carefully. They know that Naga is not done yet.

Naga continued after a few seconds of silence. "I was surprised when the book suddenly exuded the golden light and formed the orb. That's also the time when I saw runes floated up in the air and then entered my body. It seems that if Old Samuel accepted the book before, this empty book will be just an ordinary piece of crap. Only when I fully decided to accept this book as mine that it actually accepted me as its master. It is like mutual agreement."

"Oh, also I do not know yet the name of the book. Later I will study it again."

"I See. I knew it." Old Samuel was enlightened and he continued "There's only one master and owner, it's you. To think that an orb composing of pure Ancient Prime is only an excess power. Wow! It's... mythical. Can the book produce another Orb? What's the name of this divine book?"

"It can't produce another orb. I said that it's only an excess power but it doesn't mean that the book is created with that Ancient magic. Well, we can consider that orb as a bonus. It's just... I feel that it will be more useful to Bill instead of using it myself." Naga honestly answered them.

"Thanks, My Lord." Bill showed respect to him again.

As a former soldier and martial saint, he learned that no matter how good or powerful a treasure or weapon is, if you will not be able to maximize its advantage until the end then it is better to use an ordinary weapon that you are more familiar with since more or less after getting a new one, you will just forget this. He is also used to just either surrender or gift any special items he got to the country. He wanted the country to have items to use in great need. He didn't care about having all or having nothing at all.

"By the way, what do we have now?" Naga asked. He was surprised with the new armors and weapons of the four bandits. The old men are wearing different clothes too. They looked rich, specially Old Samuel.

"It's a jackpot! We got 500 gold coins and 50 gold bills. Fifty, that is equivalent to 2,500 gold coins. We have few hundreds of silver coins too. We saw jewelries and there are high quality clothes as well." The blue-haired bandit said this with excitement.

"Old Drun created new weapons and armors. We need these for protection and disguise." The green-haired bandit answered.

"Wow! You guys are great. Reliable men indeed. By the way, what are your names?" Naga was really satisfied and asked.

"You can call me Oscar." the green-haired man said smiling.

"I'm Dilan. I am a mage. Well.. You know.. Also a former badit." the blond mage is somewhat down.

"Why are you shy bastard? Hahaha. My name is Nicholas. I am a mage too. I can see how exciting our future is!" this blue-haired mage just want to have fun all the time.

"Who's bastard?!" the blond mage shouted. He is a proud mage.

"Hahaha. Both of you shut up!", "Naga, you can call me Albert. Like them, I am once a bandit too. I'm also a former ranger from a kingdom far North." the red-haired man said.

"Nice to meet you. I am glad to have you as my companions. Let's enjoy this journey." Naga bowed to them. He wanted to have a different life and he believes that this is a good start.

They were shocked seeing the respectful Naga. This is perhaps the first time. Thinking about him, they only remembered the brave boy who used chains to escape the guards and the decisive kid who gave a prized orb.

"Naga, we are actually thinking of changing our route. Instead of entering the capital, we're going to a different city first." the old elf remembered an important matter.

Naga thinks about it further and he believes that this is a great plan. They want to avoid Blue Flame's influence. They need a better preparation and information.

"I see. Great. Where are we going now?" Naga asked.

"Profound Sky City. It's a city under the Azure Demon Empire but being manage by Crimson Earth Clan. One of the four strongest clans here." Old Drun answered.

"Good. With that we can be sure that the Blue Flame Clan's influence is limited if not none at all." Naga is cheerful right now. It seems that they will have a breather.
