Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 367 - A Chat With Amanda

'Ding! You will need to give her some info then.'

'Giving one person I trust some of what I know won't be a problem like going out and asking everyone, right?'

'Ding! It's your choice, yet you must know Amanda isn't an easy person.'

'And is capable and quite resourceful! You weren't with me when she connected with me from such a great distance far," he said, recalling what happened when a dark clan assassin fought with him.

The distance between his dorm and Amanda's took roughly an hour. He wanted to run, yet when he met some disciples here and masters, he refrained from doing such an eye catchy act.

Reaching Amanda's residence, he wasn't surprised to see a grander mansion than his. It had even security, servants, and maids.

"Stop, no one is allowed to trespass here," one of the five guards stopped him in such a rude manner.

"Sorry to ask, but can you tell the lady that her disciple is here?"

His words were met with strange gazes, not only from the five guards but even from the maids and servants inside the mansion.

"What's your name?"

"Willy."

"Alright, wait here for your punishment then," the guard said as if Arthur just committed a grave mistake. "My lady has no disciples, that's a known fact," he added, as he aggressively eyed him.

"She accepted me today," Arthur wasn't fazed at all, "just go inside and inform her and you will know everything."

The guard's look seemed strange, yet he muttered: "Wait here," then he went inside the mansion.

After five minutes he came up, with much shocked expression on his face than when he heard Arthur's words. "Alright, come inside. She is waiting," he said, while the other four turned to glance at him, thinking he was sick or something.

Yet he gave them a meaningful glance before clearing a path for Arthur to go through. Arthur nodded to him while moving inside the mansion where everyone glanced at him like witnessing an extraordinary moment.

"You know I never thought you'd make such ruckus," she came out from the mansion wearing comfortable clothes and looked different from the serious one he used to see. "What? Feeling surprised to see me like that? I'm a lady you know," she laughed shortly at his funny expression.

"Oh, sorry to disturb you," Arthur said, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"No problem, I really didn't imagine you coming to me this soon," she said before adding, "come inside, I think you have urgent matters to discuss then," she then glanced towards the distance, out to nowhere before muttering something unheard to him followed by the appearance of a transparent shield around the mansion.

"Instant array!" and Arthur was inwardly shocked by the technique she used.

"Don't think Otman is the only one specialized in formations," she chuckled, before adding, "for me you can consider I'm a rounded mage, with high strength and speciality in everything. Come, no one will annoy us anymore," she said while walking gracefully inside her mansion.

The mansion was really luxurious, full of statues of beautiful ladies and many golden and rare ore ornaments.

She led him to one of the smaller rooms inside the ground floor, where she waved to a servant as she asked:

"What do you want to drink? Or you are hungry perhaps?"

She seemed rather opposite to the stern looking lady she always was. "Thanks, I'm fine," and he simply rejected, as he had many things in mind.

"Seems you are quite troubled by something," she said while waving to the servant who went outside and closed the door. "Tell, what bothers you? So far all I can see is a bunch of twisted elders whom everyone doesn't like."

She referred to the elders in her words, yet his face didn't show anything to what she said. "Perhaps… your city?" she frowned while his face showed a slight change.

"Hahaha, c'mon, don't tell me after completing the task and being here you are still thinking of that small place of yours."

She seemed not to really understand the true value of what Arthur did inside that world. His greatest fear was for the academy to come after his city, yet he didn't expect this cold shoulder towards what he worked for so hard.

"I want to have access there," he said, finally trying to ask without offering anything in return.

"That… you just came back, and you have obligations you know," she didn't know how to respond to him.

"I can come back often from there," he said, without adding much.

Yet what he just spilled out made the eyes of her shine. "You little rascal! You have a way to go there and come with your own will!" she laughed while adding, "if you have such a mean, then why come here to see me?"

She paused, and he didn't answer and remained silent. "Your method is flawed," she said while leaning leisurely on her seat, extending one leg over the other, exposing her soft white skin. "Tell me, why should I help you?"

He was about to speak, yet she added, correcting her question, "Let me rephrase it for you, what can a master like me benefit from a disciple like you? Give me some benefits, and keep your secrets for yourself… for now at least," she wasn't interested in his secrets, as she was pretty sure she would come across them one way or another.

What interested her greatly was the benefits he could offer; these would expose to her what value his secrets were and what plans this little sneaky disciple of hers had in mind.

Arthur on other hand was surprised by her demands. He waited silently as she glanced with no hurry; she knew she startled him by her question.

'Ding! Offer her a pillar,' and the system suddenly spoke up.

'This… do you think a mere pillar would be enough for her?' Arthur was pretty sure a pillar was something she wouldn't agree upon.

'Ding! Try, it might give you a lead on what interests her.'
