Sword God in a World of Magic

The Custodian came out of the Lightning Emperor's study and threw a glance at the waiting Shang.

"You left quite the positive impression on the Ancestor, Shang," the Custodian said with a polite smile.

When Shang heard that, he felt like something was different from before.

It wasn't that his status had changed or anything, but that something about the Custodian was different.

It was like the Custodian was more… distant?

Cold?

Off-putting?

Something in the way the Custodian was talking or looking at Shang had changed, but Shang couldn't be sure what exactly.

Nevertheless, Shang only answered with a wordless nod.

The Custodian gestured to the hallway with a move of his head and traveled back to the entrance with Shang.

The Custodian opened the door, and the two of them arrived in front of Queen Primordium again.

Shang still couldn't see Queen Primordium, but he could tell by the atmosphere that she felt relieved.

Since she was the leader of the Reinforcement and Contender Departments, she was obviously very interested in powerful people. After all, it was her job to make new Thunders and Mage Kings.

"I apologize for the wait, Vana," the Custodian said with a polite smile. "The Ancestor enjoys talking."

"No worries," Queen Primordium said. "Any new orders?"

The Custodian nodded. "Our little friend Shang will enjoy very special treatment from now on. First, his allowance will be increased by a factor of ten."

"You're referring to the Ancestral Mage allowance?" Queen Primordium asked.

The Custodian nodded.

Queen Primordium nodded back.
