Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

pǎпdǎ Йᴏνê1,сòМ "Sorry for making you stay all this time here," and in less than ten more minutes, Alfonso returned, with a ring he held in his hand.

He extended it to William, "please inspect things inside, they are all yours, like the ring."

"Thanks," William started to feel he got something with rings. Since coming back in time, he started gathering rings like he was gathering rocks from the ground.

He found the ring without any spirit imprint, and that made him take ownership of the ring fast. When he inspected its content, he found spirit crystals lying there, the size of one\'s head.

"Spirit gems? Interesting," William muttered when he noticed these weird looking crystals.

"There are ten of them," Alfonso said, "I know we agreed on the price before, but the extras are a token of my appreciation for telling me the intel."

William raised his head when he heard what Alfonso said. They indeed agreed on the price before, but it was much cheaper than what this ring contained.

And it wasn\'t because Alfonso here felt appreciative for William to tell him about the secret of killing Scarlet Bears, but for letting go of his daughter and accepting Thomas and four others in return.

"And this is…" William then took out a scroll, the only thing inside that didn\'t belong to the spirit gem world inside.

"It\'s the official licence of owning the piece of land and the building on it," Alfonso cleared his throat before adding, "I had to pull a few strings to secure this land for you."

"It\'s not yours?!"

"It\'s mine, well in theory it is. But it belongs to the family, and few others as well. So, I had to make a few deals, to make sure this land belongs solely to me, and thus to you."

"Thanks, I appreciate this…"

"Holy sh*t! It\'s located at the central district!!!" and before William would continue what he was saying, Ro from the side stood up straight, as if she got bitten by a snake or something.

William was casually opening the scroll at this moment, and there were lots of words and a mini map there, pointing towards the location of the land.

"Keen eyes indeed," Alfonso nodded, feeling more satisfied with Ro\'s reaction that William\'s. But for a reason, he got little beads of sweat over his forehead, "it\'s a land in the size of ten acres, surrounded by a wall and with five subsidiary buildings inside with a main central and huge one."

"That…" William saw the description in the scroll matching what Alfonso said.

"This location… This street… No way! Don\'t tell me… It\'s the place of that dude?!!!" But Ro recognised this place at the spot. And her body couldn\'t help but tremble while saying her words, taking a few steps to the back, almost this close from falling down.

"Easy there," William had to support her back to not fall down, while Alfonso laughed again. And the beads of sweat started to grow in number amidst his laughs.

"He has been gone from here for a few centuries already. He had no heir, no family. And so, the ownership of this place went to many owners before, ending up getting sold to selected people, including myself."

"B… But…"

"What\'s all about this place?" William felt he was missing something important here. Just from the intense reaction of Ro and the weird smile and laughs of Alfonso, he knew this building had a hidden history.

Not to mention the weird beads of sweat that started to cover up Alfonso\'s forehead like he just came from running outside or something.

As William was going to own this place, he wanted to know everything about it.

"It\'s nothing much," Alfonso shrugged as if this was really nothing. Yet Ro jumped, breaking free from William\'s supporting hand, returned to her seat, and she spoke in a loud and enraged tone:

"It\'s nothing?! Come on! It\'s The Cursed Building! It\'s the old building of that madman, The Fox!"

"Fox?!" William\'s interest instantly got piqued the moment he heard this title.

"It\'s just an old tale, a childish tale, a fairy tale even," Alfonso said in defence, but William couldn\'t help but notice the shaking in his voice and the uncertainty he felt from it.

"It\'s a true tale!" Ro was acting weird, not like how she acted during all this time.

"What tale?" William was in the middle between these two, feeling much weirder about all this.

"It\'s an ancient building," Alfonso started to explain what William didn\'t know, "it belonged to one who was once at the pinnacle of power, a dark gold grade spirit master. At his time, he was one of the leaders of this fort, someone truly admirable and strong."

"And?" Ro gave Alfonso a firm and accusative look, and the latter remained silent for few seconds before sighing as he added:

"Fine! He was known to go slightly… Weird in the last years of his life."

"Weird? The dude kept screaming and shouting back then about a huge disaster coming, a terrible calamity that won\'t spare anyone! He even went to the extent of fortifying his place with deadly traps! This isn\'t a bit weird; this is f*cking insanity!"

"What disaster? What traps?" William asked, and the two in front of him got his meaning totally wrong.

They thought he got cold feet here, and seemingly scared to own such a place thanks to what he just heard.

Unlike what they felt and guessed; he was truly curious about that old dude\'s tale.

"The traps are all gone… Well, almost all of them," Alfonso cleared his throat in the middle of his talk when Ro glared again at him, "and that disaster is nothing but fairytales."
