Cale and the others went downstairs and informed Billos who was at the counter.
"I'll be back soon. Don't clear my spot."
"Yes, young master. I look forward to your return."
Cale ignored the smile on Billos's chubby face as he walked out of the tea shop.
"He really is different from the past."
"So it was true that he was just acting."
Cale could hear people talking in the store, but he didn't get what they said so he ignored them. He needed to get his shield today.
The Indestructible Shield.
It is not talking about a physical item. The best comparison might be a mage's mana shield. Something that does not actually have a physical form. However, it was very different from a mana shield, as it was closer to a superpower than magic.
The funny thing was that the human who created the power, but ended up dying, was someone who served a god but ended up being excommunicated.
As with the history of any fantasy world, this world also had its ancient history. During that ancient time, neither magic nor weaponry was developed.
Instead, it was a society where your own innate talent or talents gathered from supernatural occurrences played a pivotal role. The strongest powers in that society were superpowers, divine powers, and natural forces. It was a very primitive time.
Some of those powers have lasted all the way until now, staying hidden in certain locations or items. It was possible to take those powers for yourself if you meet the right conditions.
Ancient powers.
The heroes would find these powers, however, these powers were all supporting powers, not strong enough to be used as a hero's mainstay.
These were the powers that Cale was looking to find.
Unlike other books, the ancient civilization in the novel, [The Birth of a Hero], was not that strong.
As civilization developed, the magic and summoning skills that were developed outshined the natural powers left behind by the ancient civilization. Superpowers were the same way. Most subtle superpowers would be blown away by a single hit from the, 'Aura,' that was used in present day.
It wasn't like the heroes just used these powers sparingly for no reason.
'And my goal is to collect these subtle superpowers to become decently strong.'
It was a satisfying goal. Especially because he also knew the ancient power that could strengthen these subtle super powers.
In order to take the first step in his plan, Cale started to look for the ancient power that was hidden in Rain City. He knew the requirement to earn that power.
"Young master, where are we going?"
Ron asked with his usual benign smile.
"We are going to the man-eating tree in the slums"
Cale answered directly, there was no reason to hide it, he didn't see the disgusted face of beacrox who was thinking of how dirty it would be there.
The group arrived in the slums and all the people there were watching them. It was weird seeing a noble coming to a place like that.
When they were about to go near the man-eating tree, two kids stopped them.
"You can't approach that t-tree!"
