Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"Master, it's the Royals! If there is anything missing there, then I guarantee that you won't find it anywhere else in the fort or even in the regions around."

"Cool, lead the way then," the confidence in Trevor's words reassured William. He wanted to test out his spirit theory. And for a reason, he felt like doing this would create such a scene.

He thought about going to his newly acquired building and testing things there. But he didn't trust the place there would be safe. And it was better for him to be more prepared before setting a single foot in such dangerous territory.

Trevor led the way and changed their direction a couple of times. Against William's thoughts, they went away from the main street, heading through different small streets, before finally ending at another big street.

"Ah, the fort has nine hills, each with a separate big path and gate. It makes sense to have nine main roads inside," William realised what he missed when they arrived at a bustling wide street, not any lesser than the one he already passed over before.

It was filled with lots of people walking, lots of shops, big buildings, and fancy looking hotels.

This might be the only little different detail here than the other street. Hotels here were more extravagant and eye-catching than those present at the other street.

Each hotel tried to look like a bride on her wedding day, using different designs, colourful ores, and even lights and such. And one hotel far away kept releasing short distance fireworks in the air, releasing a different colour each time.

"Over there," and just as William got attracted by these fireworks that looked interesting, Trevor pointed towards the direction of another hotel, "that's the Royals. Huh, what do you think?"

"Looks interesting," William nodded in his heart. This hotel looked really unique and special from outside.

It wasn't like any other hotel he saw in the fort so far. First of all, it had a ten storey height main building, one that extended to cover up the space of ten buildings would take side by side. It had a metallic fence outside, one that was made out of golden ores, with small statues of different monster heads at the tips of each rod.

The hotel had more buildings behind this one, and William could see lots of guards, wearing unified gears, with black swords releasing silver lightning arcs at their chest as the emblem of that place.

"Welcome sir, how may I help you today?" And just as the three arrived at the front gate, where a bunch of scary looking spirit masters stood as mere guards, a youth appeared from the stairs behind, wearing a black suit, without a single piece of gear on his body.

He wore a one eye glass, linked to his chest with a golden chain. He looked dignified even with his age not exceeding twenty-five.

And he came down to welcome the three of them.

"Who said we were going in there?" William didn't respond with courtesy, and instead showed a weird expression on his face.

He got a point though. After all, they were standing a few metres away from the scary guards and didn't even move a step inside the hotel perimeters or talked to any of the guards.

"The spirit master who managed to create a scene at the Golden Fork restaurant isn't just nobody," and the answer this dude gave made William raise one eyebrow in response. He never expected what he had with Alfonso to be widely spread this fast, reaching even the ears of the ones in this grand hotel, "I'm Mark, and I'm delighted to serve you today."

"Lead the way then," William knew his intentions were seen through. He was someone who managed to make a striking deal with Alfonso. And the news must have reached the ears of those with great details.

So many knew William was rich, filthy rich, enough to secure his stay in such an expensive hotel.

"What did you do exactly back there?" Thomas kept his silence while following William inside the hotel, but Trevor wasn't. He wasn't there when William made the deal, never heard about what happened except for now.

"It's nothing," William shrugged, ignoring him while walking over the stairs and getting inside the main lobby of the hotel.

Saying that the hotel was keen to impress its residence was an understatement. Everything inside that lobby was filled with luxury and gave William a feeling of how being rich truly was.

First of all there were a group of human sized statues, describing either strong spirit masters releasing deadly techniques, or battles between spirit masters and deadly monsters.

William couldn't believe the mastery of the craftsman who did all this. The statues in front of him looked alive. He felt like the sparkles of the attacks, the roars of the monsters, as if the fierce battles would envelop him and this lobby at any moment.

This was a wonderful experience to him, but he wasn't that much interested in such worldly matters. All he cared about was to find a safe room, one that would stop any preying senses of any strong spirit master, and a training ground prepared to endure deadly techniques.

The lobby got a front desk, one that was semicircular in shape. There were chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling, alongside many candles and ores that emitted a dark blue and green light.

It gave the place here a weird touch, as if William was going to a serious place, not just a hotel. William didn't mind any of that, but it seemed such things left a deep impression on Trevor, even making his body slightly tremble in awe and fear.

"How may I serve sir?" Mark moved behind that desk, relieved the one who was standing there, and started to take out a pile of scrolls, "we got all the rooms that suit everyone's needs..."
