Skyward Over God

"No, I happened to get it from a friend of mine, he lives in Galleria a merchant city." The shop owner replied taking his cash.

Fei Lei thanked him and continued on, Yan Mei moved over close to him and asked, "What was that? And don't tell me you don't know, I saw your reaction."

"It's something called Silicon and it has many very special uses," Fei Lei answered as he continued to walk along the crowd when a very drunk man came out of a nearby tavern and crashed against Yan Mei, removing her hood.

The moment everyone saw her looks they started to blush and make provocative noises and inappropriate comments.

The drunken man stared at her as a grin came across his face before he shouted, "Hey pretty lady, why don't yus ditch that loser, and come back to my place for a funz time."

"I think he's far better to spend my time with, than drunken scum like you!" Yan Mei shouted with anger in her voice.

"Yuz cat talk to mez like zat! Don't yoz knowz I is?" The drunk was about to touch her arm when Fei Lei appeared in front of him and captured his hand, he then squeezed the drunks until the man fell on his knees in pain, Fei Lei placed the hood back on her head and said, "I think you need to go home and sober up. You're hallucinating about beautiful women in the street."

Yan Mei blushed under her hood and stared at the large back of Fei Lei as he stood in front of her.

"Let go of me you riff-raff, I am the Barons son, hic...If you don't release my Spell Guards will come to deal with you!" The Drunkard shouted.

Fei Lei picked him up by his arm and tossed him into the basins of water that the horses drink from. The drunken young mast pulled himself out of the bowl of water and fell onto the ground before he shouted "I'm being attacked! Guards, save me!"

Yan Mei laughed a little as a group of disorderly Spell Casters came running out of the Bar laughing and falling over, a little less than half of them were drunk.

"Hey, who hit the Baron's Kid?!" One of the sober-ish guards shouted.

Fei Lei stood at the front of Yan Mei and said, "You, a shitty little Baron dared to lay his hands on a Nobel Mage Family Member!"

Everyone started laughing, the drunken spell guard came up to him and tried to place his hands on Fei Lei, everyone thought they were about to see the boy get arrested and become the Baron's captive, however, all they saw was Fei Lei place his hand out with a single palm and push ever so gently.

The Spell Guard shot back into the wooden steps of the tavern and sent debris soaring through the air as he crashed through them. Fei Lei listened to the sounds of the crowd gasping for air out of sheer shock.

"Did you see that?!"

"It must have been magic!"

The crowd around them began gathering and whispering amongst themselves.

Fei Lei then stood in front of Yan Mei placing one hand behind his back, and the other towards the remaining Spell Guards with an open palm facing the sky. He then smiled before quickly pulled his fingers towards his body, and began taunting them by saying, "Well, come on! Let this bodyguard teach you drunkards some manners."

Some of the spell guards started to use their Spell Sigils and executed a sequence of weak different elemental bullet attacks towards him, all of them Adept level mages, however, despite their actions, Fei Lei picked up Yan Mei like a princess and dodge them all.

"He must be a Wind Mage!" One of the Spell Guards shouted as Fei Lei jumped up and kicked him across the jaw and sent his body flying across the ground. With a quick jump off the taverns railing, Fei Lei placed Yan Mei on the roof. Putting down his Sword-Staff he gave her a quick wink, and then disappeared like a phantom image as he started to take out the guards one by one.

Fei Lei jumped down on the shoulders of one of them and heard his bones snap, he taped the back of his head sending him falling forwards as he rolled down his back to dodge the lightning spell that another Mage used, the lightning bolt hit the guard in the back right when Fei Lei launched himself off the ground and used capoeira's dual spring kick, sending his both his feet into the gut of the nearest mage.

The guard flew back into a nearby stone pillar, it shattered as he crashed through it and into the shops slate-stone walls. The guard coughed up a mouth full of blood and slid down the wall onto the ground unconscious.

The 3 Wind Adepts all carried swords and wore heavy plate armor, they casted a featherweight spell on themselves and charged around Fei Lei creating a circle while he landed on the ground and placed his hands onto the ground performing a helicopter kick sending the circle of men flying back.

The floated to the surface, many with broken ribs, and arms, their steel swords shattered and their spirits crushed.

Fei Lei hopped up from his hands, dodging a water blast that was directed at him, the ball exploded taking a chunk of the ground with it, Fei Lei had dashed over to the Mage and shaped his hand into a claw as he slashed down on the Mage cutting through his armor like it was butter, and sending out a spray of blood.

Most of the guards backed off, their armors and wills shaking as they dropped their weapons and started running away.

Fei Lei stood at the center of the crowd and shouted at the foolish Barons son, "This young madam is the daughter of the Crimson Warlock, and you are mere Baron's son dare have eyes on her!"

Everyone gasped, Fei Lei, smiled as he thought, "Her father must be a very influential person, to think that even his name is known all the way out in a rural place like this."

Fei Lei reappeared next to Yan Mei, she stared daggers at him, when Fei Lei said, "I have a plan okay. Just play along."

She pulled her hood down, and shouted, "My name is Yan Mei, and I am the only daughter of Yan Chi, the Crimson Warlock." She pulled out an emblem with her clan symbol, a small wooden medallion that had a single strand of mana that created a small fire design on the center.

Everyone bowed down and the Baron's legs began to quake, Fei Lei picked her up like a princess again and said, "We were busy traveling north, and you interrupted our journey, it's only expected that you receive some punishment, so take your bruised egos home and reflect on your actions."

Jumping off the roof, he started to run creating a dust storm behind him as he ran out of the village as fast as he could. His trail of dust showed him disappearing in the northern forest lines.

As they ran through the forest for a few dozen miles, Fei Lei jumped up into the air and started to climb above the clouds. He then turned around and started going south-west, towards his cavern abode.

"You tricky little devil!" Yan Mei shouted.

Fei Lei continued to run on the surface of the clouds as he said, "Now your pursuers will think your way over here, and will give us some breathing room."

Fei Lei continued to rush back towards his home, Yan Mei stared at the view fascinated by the entire scenery, the pure blue sky and the terrain below all blended together in a breathtaking sight.

"It's beautiful." Yan Mei said, Fei Lei stared at her and said, "Yeah, it is."

They finally reached his cave and entered in through the roof access point. As he landed, she turned to him and said, "Thank you for everything, if I hadn't met you..."

"It's fine, were partners now, and you still have to keep your promise." Fei Lei moved over to his courtyard and started to remove the materials from his ring, he looked over to her and asked, "Can you use your fire magic to melt metals?"

"Yeah, but why would you want to? These are just regular ores, no mana in them what so ever." Yan Mei replied looking confused.

"I need the copper to make a piping system for water transportation and heating, Iron for several smaller objects such as nails and screws, and the rest of these are for a few things I want to make." Fei Lei answered.

Yan Mei was curious as to what he was trying to build and decided to help, "Okay, but you have to tell me what the purpose of everything you're trying to build is."

Fei Lei smiled as he nodded his head, as he began teaching her that the copper is resistant against water corrosion as Fei Lei started to use his telekinesis to shape the complex parts and materials he would need to build a proper sewage system and water transportation system.

"Copper pipes are lightweight and very malleable if properly constructed, these pipes require minimal tools needed to fit and be joined with many other pieces. These factors make copper water pipe simpler and quicker to install."

Yan Mei followed so far as she melted the ore, "In areas with neutral-pH water such as this, the reaction between the water and copper resist corrosion by naturally forming a thin protective coating inside of the pipe that keeps up structural integrity for countless years. This allows for a smaller-diameter pipe with maximum consistent water flow. Thinner walls are also easier to handle with copper than other types of materials."

Yan Mei had many questions about the scientific terms he explained, Fei Lei did his best to explain each and every one of them, to his surprise, Fei Lei discovered that Yan Mei was a quick learner, whenever she didn't understand something, she would ask for multiple descriptions and explanations and worked with Fei Lei to find common ground, so she could comprehend what he was saying.

Fei Lei continued to create several other objects such as the parts for a water heater, "Copper also conducts heat well, so the pipes get warm during exposure to hot water and stay warm. This helps keep hot water at a consistent temperature as it travels through the house. Copper's conductivity makes it the perfect choice for radiant heating systems. Copper has natural anti-microbial properties that help kill harmful bacteria and pathogens. Copper pipes also inhibit the growth of bacteria and slime inside the pipes that can lead to illness. Copper's prohibitive effects on diseases such as E-coli, polio, and Legionella pneumophilia, among other harmful bacteria, have all been tested. Unlike iron, lead and PVC pipes, copper pipes do not leach dangerous metals or toxins into drinking water under most conditions."

Once again Fei Lei began teaching her the meaning of the new terms, Yan Mei was a very good student, Fei Lei was really beginning to like her.

They continued on making several other materials he had planned out for future use, other than the materials for a large Ramp Pump, he was going to build a magnetic reactor, it was the first thing his previous self-built to better mankind, it used very powerful magnets to create a self-rotating dc engine the size of half a nuclear plant, it could power all of the cities energy needs twenty for hours a day, and seven days a week, making every other form of energy pale in comparison.

Rotary electrical machines that convert direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy are the most common types that rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields, the reactor he designed could do this on a massive scale by creating an algorithm with the difference in magnetic attraction levels for the previous magnet to be attracted to, it resulted in a perpetual motion machine, however it had to be kept in a vacuum to run a full efficiency.

Magnets following magnets, of course, that would require him to find a mine of loadstones or create a magnetizer, which he just couldn't do with his current technology.

Fei Lei then started to create his sewer systems and piping system for his castle, along with a wood burning water heater. They continued to work on the project for three weeks.
