I wasn't sure whether to call it progress or not that my Mother didn't ask any questions about my request.

I'd spent a month training, sparring, and fighting with the Guard Orders while also doing my daily trips into the Dungeons and now that the time was coming to depart, there were a few last things to do.

One was to upgrade my Body, as the chamber was ready and waiting, and the other was to increase my Wind Law to Tier 2 finally.

My Wind law had been set aside for a while to focus on everything else I needed to focus on and it was now time to fix that. I wanted to get my Laws back to even before I went through the Body of Stone refinement.

Partially because a phantom voice in my mind was trying to delay the pain the Refinement would cause, and partially because I felt having my Laws equal for the procedure would make it easier.

Like the first one, I was continuing down the path of the Northern Winds Body, which was one of Wind and Ice.

I felt it was still one of my best options, not that I had any different ones, but I had looked over a few other ones in the Rewards and this was one I wished to stick to for now.

Other than the obvious, increasing my Affinity to both Ice and Wind, the main reason was the higher defense to slashing attacks.

Our city had grown leaps and bounds as refugees flooded in along with The Fort. In total, there were over fifteen thousand people between our two Cities and nearly all of them used a slashing weapon of some kind.

Those who used weapons, of course.

Daggers were a mix of thrust and slash, and so were swords, but nearly every weapon people used was meant to cut in some way and my technique guarded against that.
