Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Young master, are you not coming back with us?" Mia asked with tears in her eyes. She and Sarina were teary-eyed as they said goodbye to Liu Yang.

The trio was inside a transport center, the two women were going to travel to China while Liu Yang was still staying at the Union of Latin American Nations. He would help Ivy find the person she was looking for.

Before the time before the Great Change, when airplanes, ships, and other types of transport were used to travel between continents. At present, travel has become much faster and more practical.

After magic started to be used all over the world, transportation facilities also have changed. To travel between countries or continents, transport companies created the Magic Transport Arrays.

Similar to the transport portals that lead to the mystical realms. The Transport Arrays take ordinary people or mages somewhere that has the other side of the array.

The journey took only a few minutes and was much faster than traveling by plane or ship as before. This speed of travel has changed people's routines a lot.

The passages were different for ordinary people and mage since the resistance between the two was very different. Ordinary people had to use special equipment to travel while mage just needs to sit in the chair and enjoy the trip.

Liu Yang trained Sarina and Mia across the desert for almost a year, he stopped training a month before Mia turned sixteen. For the two were going to have their first night together. After a few days of fun in bed. Liu Yang decided to send the two women to China.

As the months passed, the two women grew stronger each day. Mia managed to become an Intermediate Mage in less than a year of training, this was because Liu Yang always fed her with his essence, this greatly improved her cultivation speed.

Sarina also got stronger, despite having only gone up three levels. She learned to better control her powers and how to use them more effectively.

After heavy training in the desert, Liu Yang and the women returned to the gates to the entrance to the Ciudad de las Minas de Sal. Liu Yang went to return the payment to the old man, the payment for the bottle of essence of Ivy's power.

Finishing matters in the desert, Liu Yang did one last training with the women. A run, they would run about two thousand kilometers in the desert to a city called the Ciudad de la Meseta de Nazca in the ancient region of Peru.

Since Mia was just a Beginner Mage at that time, she could only run about a hundred kilometers a day, that was her limit, even using the power of her magical artifact. Sarina was a little better, she could take five hundred kilometers because she was an Advanced Mage.

The race took almost two months for them to reach the city. The city was one of the major cities in the Union of Latin American Nations.

Like other large cities around the world, the place was full of people from all regions of the world. Many adventurers went to this city to explore the Amazon Rainforest, as it was the largest city before reaching the forest.

The government of the union built the city on the spot for this, providing supplies and people so that they can go to the forest faster.

"I still need to do something with little Ivy, I promised to help her with some matters. You two don't have to cry like that, we will meet again when I get back. After I'm done with the business here, I'll be back "Liu Yang comforted the two women.

After nearly a full year of living alongside Liu Yang, the two women were reluctant to separate from him.

"Young master, is that a promise?" Mia held up her little finger to make the promise.

"Yes, that is a promise." Liu Yang laughed at that scene. He did the same gesture with Sarina.

"Young master, we are leaving" The two women kissed Liu Yang on the lips, one at a time.

This scene attracted the eyes of the people around, as it was very strange to see a man kissing a mother and daughter pair on the lips. But as this was someone else's private matter, no one commented.

Liu Yang was waving his hand to say goodbye to the two women, they also did the same.

The two showed the ticket at the reading machine and entered the car.

Passengers who want to travel to other locations using the transportation arrays needed to enter a bus. The wagon had a total of forty spaces, each space was a room that can be private or shared with one more person.

The two women looked out the window before waving. Liu Yang did the same.

A bright light shone and the bus disappeared.

Liu Yang's parting looks turned to solemn after the two women left.

(Now is the time to go to the Amazon Rainforest !!!) Liu Yang was excited to explore the forest.

After leaving the transport center, Liu Yang left the city. For he was warned by Little One that some members of the blood race were inside the city. So, he didn't bring Ivy with him.

Liu Yang told Ivy that he managed to find out that three members of the blood race were inside the city for some reason. When Ivy heard about it, she was extremely angry and furious, but quickly calmed down.

Ivy asked Liu Yang to leave her in a place quite distant from the city, as other members of the blood race can find out her location. Ivy was about five hundred kilometers away from the city, she was in the desert waiting for Liu Yang to return.

After drinking Liu Yang's blood for almost a year and drinking his essence for a few months, Ivy regained some of her powers, but she was only physically strong at the moment. She would only fully recover her powers when she refined her Essence of Power. To prevent the essence from being felt, Liu Yang also left it with Ivy in the desert.

Liu Yang left the city and started running as fast as possible towards the desert. But he didn't know that three shadows were stealthily following him.

…

"Mom, we finally arrived" Mia commented, she felt that the bus stopped moving.

"Yes. But we still can't get out. The doors haven't opened yet. " Sarina stroked her daughter's head.

The two women were nervous because that unknown location would be the new place where they will live their new lives as Liu Yang's maids.

Ding… Ding…

"We, the Worldwide Transport Company, thank you for traveling with us. Thanks for your preference" A mechanical voice was heard and the doors opened.

"Mia, let's go" Sarina and Mia had no luggage. All their things were in the nanotechnology bag that Liu Yang bought at the transportation center. Clothes, food, money, gifts for his women, friend, in-laws, and many other things.

Leaving the bus, the mother and daughter pair followed the other passengers to the arrival terminal. Immigration enforcement was smooth, the two just needed to present their documents and show the nanotechnology handbag before they were released. Since they only had food and clothes, there was no problem happened.

"Mother, look. Is that person is the person the young master spoke to? " Mia pointed to a white-haired old man with a sign in his hand with the words written: Welcome to China.

"I do not know. Look Mia, there are a lot of people like that old man. Mia, if you ever travel alone, you need to be careful "Sarina looked around and saw that many people were holding welcome signs.

"Yes mom. Mom, how are we going to find the person that the young master indicated us?"

"I will call him. The young master gave me that person's phone number "Sarina took out a new cell phone and called.

Trin… Trin…

"Hello" The aged voice on the other end seemed surprised by the sudden call.

"Young master. Shanghai Transport Center. Landing platform 5. The number of bus XXX. Two people, seats XXXX and XXXX " Sarina used the Universal Translator to speak Chinese. Those were Liu Yang's instructions.

"..." The other side was quiet for a few moments before speaking.

"Wait inside the transport center and keep the call. Don't turn off. I will arrive in a minute. ZZZZzzzzzz "The old man finished speaking, but he did not turn off the call. It seemed that he started flying very fast and the only thing you could hear was the sounds of the wind.

"Mom, did you manage to speak to that person?" Mia saw that her mother stopped talking and was looking at a cell phone.

"Yes. He said he would be here in a minute "Sarina understood that the other side was a very powerful mage from the sound she was hearing.

"Where are we going to wait?"

"He told us to wait inside the transport center. Let's sit here and wait. "Sarina took Mia's hand. The two walked to a place to sit, both were a little tired after the trip.

"Mia, are you hungry? The young master bought many things for us to eat "

"Yes" After a trip, the best thing to do was to eat.

"Take it" The mother and daughter duo were enjoying their lunch until a voice was heard.

"Hello beauties. Do you have any free time?"
