3818 Food and Dance

"Do you need, guide? I can show you, all the hidden wonders. The island has to offer," shouted the guide.

I shook my head and walked. There are hundreds of people offering the services. I have a map of the island; I will find what I need.

Though, taking a guide would make things easier and it is safe, seeing the Prime would be enveloping the whole area with their soul sense. So, there wouldn't be much incident, unless one goes to the places where Prime's soul's sense couldn't reach.

Soon, I walked out of the port, and into the city, which was filled with people.

There are more people here than one expected. One might think, a sealed place like this one shouldn't have so many, but this place isn't truly sealed.

Our ship needed to pass through the giant waves to reach here, but small ships didn't have to. There are some water tunnels underground through which ships come and go out of it.

I walked slowly into the island city, drinking its sights and smells. Buying the things I like, but all of them are expensive.

It is a tourist place; their economy runs on it.

Still, not everything is expensive. There are some goods in here that are produced in abundance, and I have brought many of those things.

In the past five months, I have controlled myself a lot. I didn't visit many places and barely got out of my suit once or twice a week and wouldn't spend much time out either.

I only had one goal in mind and that is inheritance.

After I level-up, I will go out more. The ship was massive, and it had many things to offer. Especially those weekly auctions; I had heard, some of the things that appeared in those auctions and regretted it a lot.

Soon it was evening, and the city had become even more beautiful.

I had stayed and explored the bustling parts of the city before walking into the quiet one. The guidebooks didn't have much information about them; that is fine, I like to explore on my own.

Two hours passed, when I walked into a restaurant. It is not a big one and its name isn't in the books, but it has good vines.

There is also a dance floor, in the middle, which is currently empty, but according to the notice, the dance will start in a few minutes. I had seen it across the city; on the street and it was good.

"What can I get you?" asked the server. She is a teen half-human girl, with red hair. A mid-Primary-I, and she seemed to have leveled up recently seeing, that she didn't have complete control over her aura yet.

"What is good, here?" I asked, and she smiled. "Everything our chef, makes is good," she replied with a smile.

"Bring me your best then," I said. "You will not be disappointed," she said and walked away.

I stayed at my table, listening to the conversations around me. Most of the people here are Primary. The three Sovereigns sitting here is and two Sky Sovereigns, who are masking themselves as the Sovereigns.

They are also tourist like me; it is very easy to recognize them through their aura.

Aura of natives is influenced by the worldly energy that is he is. The aura of tourists isn't. It is not noticeable to even locals, but I could tell.

I was waiting for my dinner. The lights begin to mute and two people, both middle-aged, walk out, wearing traditional clothes with dark colorful ruffles.

The man has stone skin, with white marble skin, while the woman is human. She had begun brown eyes, that were very expressive. Both of them are in their middle ages, but moving with grace, which is rarely seen in Primary III.

The music started as they appeared on the dance floor at the same time.

There is only a single string instrument playing, but that is enough as the middle-aged couple moves with it.

For the first few seconds, I wasn't much impressed, but before I knew it, I got engrossed by them. At first glance, it didn't look much special, but one looked more, one couldn't get enthralled by it.

As I looked at them, I couldn't help but realize they were the best dancers, I had ever seen in my life.

They are moving with grace; which I had not seen in most Sky Sovereign. None of the dancers on the island hadn't been as graceful as this couple. Even I am not as graceful as this couple, despite all my power.

This dance is called halva; it is a dance where both patterns are equal and the tempo of it fast. I mean really fast.

It might not look like it because of the grace they are moving with, but they are dancing pretty fast. If I am not wrong, the couple is using 95%-100% of their speed and they are doing that while performing those complex moves.

I was so enthralled by the dance that I didn't even notice my server appearing beside me.

"This is a radiant oyster with our house's special lemon sauce, berhin fish, and our island's special peach wine," she informed me as I turned to her.

"Thank you," I replied.

"Enjoy your meal patron," she said and left without any word. I started on the dinner, and I have to say, it is amazing.

The oysters are simple, but they have reached my soul. The fish was made with complex spices and showed the skill of the chef, and the peach wine was satisfying.

I ate a whole while watching the dance.

The dance lasted for an hour. By the time, it had finished; I had finished the dinner to and clapped with the rest of the patrons.

I stayed there for a few more minutes to enjoy the peach desert, before walking out. Leaving a generous tip for the server, the chef, and the, of course, the dancers.

It is not money; I had left for the dancers, but the method.

It is clear by the dance, that they are passionate about it. That method will help them refine their art even further and might even help them take a step into the Sovereign, but that will require a luck as well as the hard work.
