Finally .........

After that Anna asked a lot of questions like if he was fine? In more ten different ways. He would understand if they were just worried but their eyes looked like they were searching for something or someone in the room. It was only after countless explaining that there were no women in the room was that they stopped searching and looked at me.

But their eyes were no longer searching but held pity that one shows to a mental disorder patient.

Nightingale did not listen to his explanation as she started searched for curses or influence on me. As for Anna she was asking questions and doing an IQ test on me.

Only after making sure that he was fine that they leave.

"..."

And another evening of his was like a torture.

...….

Yang Yu woke up at 6 to do some training. It had already been a long time since he came to this world and he had earned enough destiny pts to be able to cultivate.

The system warned that changing too much of destiny while being so weak was not a good idea as he would bring the attention of strong people or the heaven itself. It also said that there was a chance that he might bring the writer's ire. If it weren't for the systems second warning Yang Yu might have fearlessly changed destiny.

This also meant that most of the story is still the same. The steam engine, flintlock, Iron Axe's position policies, training the militia, and Nana's fate was still the same. And if two things could be said to have changed it would be the fact that no one was allowed to hurt crows and that Nightingale and Anna had become very close to him.

Yang Yu also bought bow using merit pts during his stay.

His new bow named 'Incinerating hate bow' was made from a wing bone of a golden crow. The original owner and creator too was a golden crow and he had killed his rival in hatred. The story aside the bow could burn one's hate or anger thus allowing the user to have a calm mind all the time along with this effect the bow could also direct them to form a flaming arrow that can even attack the target's mind.

Well though it was not a bad bow, only arrows from the system could be used with it due to normal arrows not able to withstand its magical nature.

In fact, Yang Yu only bought it to study it and make his own bow. This bow and the burning yang bow were used as a prototype to make the 'Hell's burning sun bow' which along with arrows frozen from the water of the true river Styx was said to be the second strongest of the 7 gods of bows.

Yes, those bows truly had their own spiritual will and even managed to cultivate and become a god.

All that was still to be in the future. Being a bloodline cultivator he could not cultivate without his bloodline so he was still stuck in the primary stage of body foundation building and he was slightly weaker than your average knight.

He only trained daggers and 'little flaming bird step' which was a dumb sounding movement technique yet one of the only he could train now.

If one were to see him train they would see that Yang Yu never actually touched the ground or the daggers. He was floating slightly above the ground and his daggers to slightly floated away from his palms.

The 'little flaming bird step' was a technique that focused on using heat to create steam and hot air both of which were used to float slightly above ground reducing both air resistance and terrain disadvantages. A pressured burst of steam or wind could also propel him into any direction at a faster speed.

As for the daggers, it was floating due to his self-created technique comprehended from the 'little flaming bird step'.

He called his technique ....

"Ahh, I have finally mastered the use of the 'not the little but actually big steaming birds blade' technique." Yang Yu said as he stretched his tired body after the workout.

"Haa, I can only train like this when Nightingale's not around. Still, I am a bit worried that she went to early to call the witches of The Witch Corporation to stay in Border Town until the winter ends. At least I gave her a destiny pill."

[The destiny pill is a pill made of condensed destiny and can temporarily raise one's destiny proportional to the destiny pts used to make it.]

"I know but I fear a pill using 25 destiny pts may not guarantee her safety. If only Yin had not actualized the burning yang bow in order to give it by hand as a birthday gift, if she had not bought the sniper rifle to gift her so-called 'one of our future wife (w1)'. Or if she had not bought her ex-inheritance to this world in order to give darkness so named 'w2'"

"Sigh what's done is done. It's time for the demonic beasts to attack so I better do the bloodline ritual before it."

"Mary! Where are you? Come here!"

"Yes, Your Highness is there something you want?"

"Go call Anna here and the Chief knight Carter to bring 3000 high purity gold coins and return here. asap."

"Yes, Your Highness." the maid bowed and took her leave.

"System show me the needed for the ritual."

[It was purchased by the host already and is now stored in the inventory.]

Yang Yu took the manual out and started reading it.

...

Shortly after yang yu had finished his reading and was waiting.

"Your Highness" It was Carter who came first and gave the newly taught military salute. He had brought along a boar hide-skin bag to carry the gold coins.

"Wait here for Anna." At the prince's command, he stood at the side waiting.

"Your Highness" This time it was Anna who came and casually said, "May I know why you have called me?"

"Come with me." Yang Yu told them and walked out of the Town walls and a bit farther away with the two of them following him.

It was Carter who disturbed the silence, "Your Highness it's not safe we should come with more guards."

"Shhh" Yang Yu motioned with his index finger upon his lips. Thus the Chief-knight had no choice but to follow him.

After reaching a clearing hidden by snow-covered trees Yang yu told them that they had reached their location.

"Carter go out and guard us. Warn us if there is any danger."

"Yes, Your Highness" Carter said, whipping out a flintlock and a sword from the gold bag and leaving.

"Anna you're not to tell a single soul about what is about to happen or I'll have to end you personally."

Anna seeing Roland's serious face nodded yet still felt disheartened as she thought Roland did not trust her enough.

Yang Yu didn't know what she thought even if he knew it wouldn't matter as he truly didn't trust anyone except Yin and his system. Of course, there's a story behind it as every road to success may have betrayals.

Yang Yu picked up 1000 gold coins and told Anna to mold it to his wish. What came out was a cauldron. He put the remaining gold in another cauldron that he bought from the system surprising Anna who saw it come out of thin air.

"Are you a witch?" She asked.

Yang Yu shook his head and looked up at the sky. Anna to followed but saw nothing before she suddenly blacked out.

It was Yang Yu soul manifesting itself that caused those with low soul power to faint, though witches should be able to recover faster.

As Yang Yu continued looking towards the sky he saw a black dot in the sky slowly coming closer.
