The next day, everyone woke up and gathered in the living room.
Everyone was looking fresh and fit with no wrinkles on their clothes. They all wore a magical clothes would always looked good, clean, and neat. It was common for the wealthy and nobles to have one in this continent.
Even Tom had some. Although these clothes were only used for long-distance trip, and rarely used for formal occasion, because they would be considered lazy.
The easier it was to mess the clothes, the more fashionable one would seem.
"We should arrive within a few hours," Tom said to them.
Helid nodded. "I have checked my magical map. These carriages are so fast. Our carriage would need days to arrive to the capital city."
The other youngsters also nodded in admiration.
"Tom, is your dad planning to sell these carriages as well?"
"First of all, they are called trucks. As for selling them… I think my dad has plan for that."
"That's great. With these carriages we could bring soldiers, supplies, and even magic beast to long-distances with much ease."
"But… these carriages must be expensive right?"
Tom smiled. "Not at all. Its cheaper than the golems, so you can buy them in batches."
The youngsters were relieved to hear that. Their parents would be proud if they could bring back this news.
Tom's iron carriages, the trucks, were very fast, and needed no rest at all.
The trucks had continued their trip non-stop.
Most carriages were pulled by magic beast that could run for weeks, but they were not as fast as Tom's trucks.
Also, the carriages were not as luxurious as Tom's.
Helid Ninel snapped his finger and a ring appeared in his palm. He flipped his palm and then a dark staff appeared.
"Tom, this is my gift to you. Considered it as payment for letting me travel in the same truck as you."
Tom analyzed the staff with his godly eyes, and he was quite satisfied with it.

After looking at the staff, Tom raised his hand and summoned his Phantom Doomblade.
The appearance of the blade shook the youngsters, including Helid. Under the presence of the Phantom Doomblade, they were like weak sheep ready to be slaughtered.
In fact, they even had this premonition that the blade had the intention to kill them if they did something wrong.
Tom felt the blade's powerful killer aura and then suppressed it immediately.
The atmosphere became calm again and everyone let out a breathe of relief.
The youngsters were fine, the maids however tried really hard to hold their legs from shaking.
Their legs usually shake like that after they left Tom's bedroom, but this was more intense than that.
As days passed by, the more they realize that their master's power was far and beyond they could comprehend.
How powerful was Tom? What other secret treasure he had? And if he was this strong, then what about his father?
Tom tapped the staff with the Phantom Doomblade, and the blade immediately sucked the staff in.
That surprised Helid a bit.
The Phantom Doomblade morphed into different shapes as it consumed the staff.
Tom laughed as he looked at the stat of his Phantom Doomblade.

Obtaining the Phantom Doomblade was the best thing that had ever happen to him. Not only could it absorb other treasure to strengthen itself, it also absorbed the unique effect of said treasure. Which mean, he did not need to replace his weapon at all.
If he found something more powerful, he could simply absorbed it, and the Phantom Doomblade would evolve. Beside, the blade's full potential was still locked because Aldred did not meed the requirement for its full power yet.
Who knew how powerful this truly was.
Not only consuming treasure, this blade could also consume soul as well.
After proudly looking at his blade, Tom made it vanish into his inventory.
"Wow, Tom. Your father gave you that?"
"Yeah, I got it when I reached Diamond Rank."
"Damn… you must be your father's favorite son."
"Not really, all of my brothers and sister receive a sword just like mine."
"No way… he got more than one of those?"
"I think so." Tom lied.
Aldred's cloning ability was the best cloning ability there is. Not only did his skill copy all of his strength, it also copy the exact equipment he had.
Say he had a nuke that could destroy an entire continent, if he clone himself, the nuke would also be cloned.
It was one of Aldred's top spell, and one of the reason why he could survive for so long despite fighting against so many odds and tough enemies.
He fought against rulers, powerful monsters, natural catastrophe, and so much more.
Luck might be part of it, but it was Aldred's skill that let him survive thus far.
A few hours later, the caravan encountered a bunch of carriages of merchants on the way.
Ahead of them, a city wall standing 300 meter tall casted of pristine white wall came into view.
Above the ever majestic wall, flying around in the sky, all kinds of dragons in thick white armor kept their watch below.
The warriors on the dragons were also clad in white, holding a 4 meter-long spear with a bow on their back.
After Tom analyzed them, he found out they were all mid Diamond Rank warrior and magician.
If Tom fought them, he would certainly lose unless he called for backup.
Smiling, Tom was excited to see how powerful the university was. If mid Diamond Ranks personnel were just mere guards, then the teachers must be at least High Diamond Ranks!
He could obtain so many information in this place!
