YM778.TV Chapter 288 Change...
No matter how much Jabba tried to bring up a topic about training or the Sect to distract him, Robin would immediately shut him down by saying that he needed to rest and wanted to sleep.. but he never actually slept.
His eyes were always open, sometimes it appears as if life has left them, and sometimes it seems as if they are burning in abyssal fire coming from the bottom of Hell...
What was he thinking? Only Robin himself knows.
But his appearance made Jabba go outside the walls of the capital several times a week to scream at the top of his lungs can take, and then return with a smile to the training hall to try to stay close to his master...
Self-blame for what happened to Robin was killing him.
He really, REALLY, wanted to destroy everything related to the Fire Salamander Organization after what they did to his master, but he knows very well that this is a dream trail.
Actually, it didn\'t matter even if Robin hasn\'t given the order to stop pursuing them, even if he told Jabba to kill them, he wouldn\'t know how!
He was making a fuss to make the Fire Salamander Organization fear for their business in the Lightning Tribe and let Robin go, but that\'s it...
Even if he destroyed all of their gathering points and killed all of their tens of thousands of followers within the Lightning Tribe, it wouldn\'t scratch the foundation of this worldwide organization, and he absolutely can\'t catch those at the top who really matter, like Ughas.
The only thing that Robin requested during that month was for Jabba to bring in more promising human youths to strengthen their souls and train them to make more divine weapons
And indeed, at the end of the month, there were 200 youths training their souls and crafting techniques, even the huge training hall began to fall narrow now
After more than two years of working in this field, some of the previous generations of assistants became good enough to finish normal divine weapons without the need for Robin, these were assigned to train the new generation.
-------------------------
Six months later...
Robin finally rose from his gloomy ground bed, but still did not move much.
Above the same ground bed, he spent most of the day in a meditating position, unconcerned by the sounds of shouting and noises from the hundreds of youths next to him, and he only moved from his place once a day to pass by the Divine Weapons Masters and Assistants and see what they had accomplished all day
The number of covered chariots entering and exiting the training hall had clearly increased as the more than 200 divine weapon Masters and Assistants had greatly increased production
Even the high-level Divine Weapons and armaments that they could not fully complete, they can now accomplish about 90% of its Runes and then leave the final touches to Robin who dedicated two hours each day to complete large amounts of them
Jabba sometimes helped in making the Divine Weapons as well and learned how to draw the Runes because it might help him understand the Truth path further...
But he was busy most of the day trying to obstruct any investigation that would be opened regarding the suspicious movements of demons or the continuing disappearance of the inhabitants of the settlements
He used his influence to threaten many of the Other deputy commanders\' peacekeepers and the chief of peacekeepers himself to keep their mouths shut on the matter
As for the remainder of the day, he would return to the training hall to try to understand the path of Truth and to observe his master from the side...
Even after 7 months after his torture at the hands of the Fire Salamander Organization, he is still not close to getting back to normal, his focused gaze and his passion for learning have been visibly broken
He looked like a tired old man who only wants the days to pass now...
The fake smile that appears on his face when he tries to interact with the divine weapon makers made Jabba feel like he wants to cry.
Although he hasn\'t known Robin for a long time, he definitely knows that this guy who looks dead inside is not him!!
After another short while, Robin finally stopped meditating and asked Jabba to designate one of the weapons workshops in the capital for them and to make weapons with special designs that he would present to him
Happy that his master began to plan something again, Jabba went out for just half an hour and went back to tell Robin it was all done!
He dedicated one of the biggest workshops in the capital for them just like that!
The first designs Robin ordered from the workshop consisted of two types of rings, one of them being the normal carrier of the sound talisman, and the other was made with extremely rare resources and will be made in much lower numbers.
The other request was just one spear that is made of a certain material that was extremely rare and expensive.
But everything is easy in view of the availability of money, Jabba quickly found all the necessary resources and sent them to the workshop, which finished them within a week, then Robin took the spear and one of the more expensive rinds and entered one of the rooms in Jabba\'s house inside the academy
And did not come out again until after another 6 months...
---------------------------
Two more years passed quietly...
After the number of Divine Weapons in the Lightning Tribe reached nearly ten thousand, their treasury almost ran out!
With the least Divine Weapon can be sold for tens of Energy pearls and the strongest -like the anti-water type weapons- can be sold for 300 energy pearls, they spend more than 2 million energy pearls and thousands of tons of high quality energy stones for these weapons!!
the Lightning Tribe has almost reached bankruptcy.
Unable to purchase additional Divine Weapons, and enable to live with such a small amount of energy pearls in their treasury, the Lightning Tribe took that most logical decision... Refresh their treasury again by attacking the Water Tribe!
Sure to win this time, Jabba didn\'t go with them but stayed in the academy trying to make any new breakthrough in his understanding of the path of truth.
It is been more than six years since he took the Truth Path details from Robin on a platter of silver but he still couldn\'t do anything with it...
Although he could easily understand the techniques of other major laws and more than a hundred minor laws, and even read hundreds of keys to other minor laws including the key to the law of death!!
He still can\'t feel he was any closer to the truth...
The second reason for not going is that he didn\'t want to leave the vicinity of his master again.
With his strength that had now reached the peak of a low-level dragon, he could definitely protect him from any danger, unless of course, someone of Ughas\' status came himself…
As for Robin, He already reached level 16 in terms of physical strength after drawing the modified first stage of the Body Strengthening Divine Tattoo on himself
For most of the past two years, he has been studying the second stage of the Strengthening Divine Tattoo and actually managed to successfully draw it on a Divine Weapon Master.
As soon as he reached the peak strength of the Warrior realm he could easily draw it for himself
For the rest of the two years, he was focused on the soul powers and the potential in the Attacking Divine Tattoos... for himself.
And on top of this.. he actually came very close to reaching the general form of the second stage of the path of truth!!
Nothing really changed around him since Ughas got him back to the academy, inventing nothing, caring about nothing... but he himself has made great progress in Energy, body, and soul powers.
