Chapter 51
Lowianism
“Master, do you need someone to drive you around? I only wore 1 Magic Crystal!
"No need for that!" Leylin immediately refused.
After visiting many markets, he found that this guide does not require much payment. Some of the families that control this market even provide free guides to help customers move.
The first time he entered the market, he gave the little boy a Magic Crystal. It was a big deficit for him.
As for the regular market, they were much smaller. Turning around a few times was enough for anyone to get to know the place. There are even signs around. So under normal conditions, customers do not need any guidance at all.
Leylin casually walked inside the market. Then, he walked towards the biggest Potion Shop.
"Greetings, sir!" A white-bearded man smiled and bowed.
“I want to sell a number of potions. Their prices may be a little high! "Leylin was very direct.
"Follow me!" The old man was surprised. He immediately led Leylin to the small room in the back.
After closing the door, Leylin sensed the energy waves generated by the isolation spell formation.
“Our shop extends confidentiality to our guests. In addition, we also implemented the best security measures ..... ”Si the white-bearded grandfather smiled as he explained.
"Not bad!" Leylin nodded, being able to avoid the crowd was very beneficial to him.
There were two sofas in the room, and among them was a small wooden table with two hot pipe drinks on it.
"Please sit!" The old man pointed.
Leylin sat down and lay on the sofa. He lifted the cup and sniffed lightly, "Tillan Peanut Powder with black pearls added, is very beneficial for misdinar meditation!"
"Your achievements in Potioneering left me speechless!" The old grandfather's eyes widened in shock.
"Thank you . I've been in the lab for a year now working on something important. Please value this potion for me! ”
Leylin handed the sack to the old man.
The old man opened the sack, and immediately shouted, "Eh ?!"
Inside the sack was the rest of Leylin's potion, each and every one of them shining resplendently.
"Wait a minute!" The old man took out his lensed glasses and placed them over his eyes.
After what looked like half an hour, the old geezer looked a little tired and rubbed his temples after he put down his lensed glasses.
“37 hemostasis herb, 45 antidotes, silent herb ..... This herb is all of good quality and has been well taken care of. I can give you 900 Magic Crystals for them! "
"Very fair!" Leylin gently nodded his head.
The old man then stored the potion for safekeeping and counted the 9 high-grade Magic Crystals he had handed over to Leylin.
“Master, you must be Mr Potion? Please keep this; you will be able to enjoy 10% discount on goods and services in our store. We can also offer higher price for other herbs you may have .... ”.
The old grandfather said as he handed the purple card to Leylin with both hands.
Leylin glanced at the card and then pocketed it quickly, "I'll remember it!"
The old man then sent Leylin away. When they said goodbye, Leylin casually asked, "As you know, I just finished my experiment. Is there a place where I can inquire about the latest news about the Poolfield Kingdom? ”
The old man stared blankly for a moment before replying, “If you want to learn some of the latest secrets and intelligence, Gandor Grocery Store will be your best choice. Although his emotions are a bit strange, but he knows best .... ”.
According to the old grandfather's direction, Leylin came to the Gandor Grocery Store.
According to the old grandfather's direction, Leylin came to the Gandor Grocery Store.
When he entered, the things inside the shop were extremely messy, and various items were lying around. There are many A. I Chip can't identify.
One thing that stands out, there are no fake products in it. This piqued Leylin's interest.
"Who?" A voice sounded from behind the table. After which, the old geezer, who looked as if he was on the verge of death, appeared from behind him.
“The old man from the Herb Shop recommended this place to me. I want to gather the latest intelligence on the Poolfield Kingdom.
“Same old rules, only after buying an item in my store will you be able to get information from me. "The half-dead grandfather's lips did not move but a mysterious voice could be heard from him.
"Good! I'll just pick whatever I like! '' Leylin wanted to select an item at random.
"There's nothing to do, I'm the one who's gonna vote for you!" Grandpa half-dead giggled.
"No wonder business is so bad here!" Leylin rolled his eyes, "Please!"
The old man half-dead ransacked through the shelf behind the shop. The wooden shelf makes a creaking sound. It seems like it will collapse at any moment. Leylin was even worried about him because the shelf looked like it could collapse at any moment.
"I found it!" Half-dead grandfather took out a black-colored scroll from the shelf.
On this scroll was a character that Leylin was not familiar with at all. The corners were very worn out and looked like rats chewing on them.
“This is part of the spell of The Great Magus Serholm. I'll sell it to you for just 1,000 Magic Crystals, a really decent deal, what do you think? ”Grandfather's eyes are half-dead glittering.
“This could even be the legacy of The Great Magus Serholm! Perhaps, you can advance to a high-level Magus after you buy it .... ”.
Leylin was speechless as he took it in his hand.
"A . I'm Chip! Scan! "
[Beep! Confirmed: Carbon dating, comparative analysis of documents shows this page is made up of human skin! Property: Lowian Teachings: 89. 5%, rare book Blue Cobalt: 56. 5% and the writings of Serholm: 21. 7%]
[Beep! Confirmed: Carbon dating, comparative analysis of documents shows this page is made up of human skin! Property: Lowian Teachings: 89. 5%, rare book Blue Cobalt: 56. 5% and the writings of Serholm: 21. 7%]
“There's something like this? AN . I am Chip, what is the power of the old geezer before me? ”
[Acredited Level 3 Acolyte, based on the emission of energy waves, Confirmed: he was in the process of reconstructing his physical body. Similarity Level: Zombification: 86. 6% and Bad Soul Transformation: 45. 6%]
Leylin pretended to check the courtyard for some more time before staring at the old geezer, "This looks like the rest of Lowian's teachings. You really lied to me? "
"How did this happen?" Half-dead grandfather hurriedly regretted. A flash of shock flashed across his eyes, which immediately turned into a persuading expression.
"Even if it was Lowian teachings, this must have belonged to Sir Rookmanst, a Rank Magus 2, 2 years ago, this same fragment sold for 700 Magic Crystals. So, how about I sell it to you for that price? "
Leylin shook his head, "Lowian's teachings are written in an advanced code language. Only the official Magus can decipher the code. Ordinary maids would definitely not be able to. ”
"Next, although the content is written in code, but their page numbers are written in Angema to make it more obscure!" Leylin pointed to the page number at the bottom.
“See this, it's just page number 12! According to 30 pages, the first of Lowian's teachings contained only records of his experiments, and insights were written while he was still an aide. It was only when he turned into an official Magus that he obtained an inheritance and he began to show a frightening talent! As for these overpriced pages, the page number must at least exceed 100 in order to be trustworthy! "
“Transaction between Magi is based on the premise that the exchanged goods are equal in value. This abandoned page of yours is worth no 700 Magic Crystals. According to my estimates, 70 is the highest asking price. "Leylin concluded.
"God .... Hahaha! The weather today is not bad! '' The half-dead man tried to put up a front, but eventually succumbed to Leylin's unwavering gaze.
“Alright, I never expected to meet a very learned scholar! Please choose! ”
“No need, I came here to gather information! I will only buy it at a reasonable price. "Leylin held onto the black-colored courtyard and placed 7 middle-class Crystal Plates on the table.
Although the coding on these derelict pages can only be deciphered by the official Magus, Leylin wanted to give it an A value. I'm trying to crack the code. After all in terms of processing capabilities, Leylin was convinced that A. My Chip Ability is much better than the official Magus, even though this is his first attempt.
"Good! Alrighty! What do you want to ask? ”The half-dead grandfather lay on the table and ate the Magic Crystals one by one. Leylin was somewhat surprised by this scene.
“I need a lot of energy. If you give me 1,000 Magic Crystals again, I will definitely complete the restructuring of my physical body.... ”The expression of the half-dead grandfather hated.
Leylin shook his head, "Tell me the news about the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy!"
“I need a lot of energy. If you give me 1,000 Magic Crystals again, I will definitely complete the restructuring of my physical body.... ”The expression of the half-dead grandfather hated.
Leylin shook his head, "Tell me the news about the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy!"
“Academy of Abyssal Bone Forest! You're an acolyte there? "
“Only a few are interested in the events there. Moreover, I do not wish to suffer any additional damage from the war! ”
"All right!" Half-dead grandfather did not ask again. “I also graduated from there. Now the situation of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was not very good. I heard that Castle Hut and Whitewoods Sage Gotham are cooperating against Abyssal Bone Forest Academy in this war ... ”.
The half-dead old man spoke nonstop.
Half a day later, Leylin walked out of the grocery store with a very pitiful face. “I never thought that the situation was already this bad. It seems I have to stay here longer than I expected. ”
According to the half-dead grandfather, the reason for the war was long forgotten. The important thing was that Sage Gotham's Hut and Whitewoods Castle were factions on the same level as the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. Their alliance placed the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy at a disadvantage. Right now, the academy could only rely on its defensive spell formation to fight back.
"A . Chip, how long will it take to decode this page? "
Leylin felt the abandoned courtyard of the Lowian teachings. Although it was made of human skin, Leylin still wrapped it well and kept it inside his robe.
[Beep! Analysis is ongoing! No comparable code was found in the data bank. Will require guess ..... Estimated completion time: 93 days 13 hours!]
“3 strange months? I can do that! '' Leylin stroked his chin as he leisurely strolled through the market.
What he said to the half-dead grandfather earlier was the truth, but Leylin only wanted to bet on A. My Ability chip. Even if it didn't work out, the information that the half-dead old man gave off was worth at least 20 to 30 Magic Crystals.
Although the page number of the abandoned journal Lowian's teachings was quite low and contained mostly information for his aides, for a Level 2 Acolyte like Leylin, it was still quite useful.
There may even be some Rookmanst meditation techniques, experimental notes or even some resource discovery. If he could find them, Leylin would benefit greatly.
After all, the processing ability of A. My chip is impressive. Leylin did not even use half of his ability, only leaving him silent for most of the time. He might as well use this downtime to decipher the code.
Chapter 52
Bondslave
Leylin's footsteps did not stop until he walked out of Ellinel Market.
The exit is next to the village and is actually under a haystack. It was also guarded by a black-robed man with a Redbud badge.
"A . I'm Chip! Initiate scanning area! ”After walking out of the village, Leylin ordered after walking out of the village.
A faint light blue screen projected before Leylin's eyes, clearly identifying the devious figure that was trailing him from behind. In the overall light blue projection, the red dot is very clear.
[Target identified. Strength was estimated at Level 2 Acolyte. No Magic Artifacts detected!] A. My Voice Chip sounded.
“Only Acolyte Level 2 huh? It seemed like it was not a large faction, but just a greedy dog after some wealth! "
Leylin's eyes flickered coldly, "If I have no other plans ……"
Leylin's Level 2 Acolyte Tail seemed to be extremely patient. Only after Leylin was a dozen miles away from around the market did he make a sneak attack!
* whoosh! * Suddenly two mudballs rose under Leylin's feet, turning into two brownish-yellow hands that tightly held Leylin's ankles.
A dagger covered in purple light immediately pierced towards Leylin's back.
"Success!" Shouted the silently attacking priest whose face was reddened with joy. He belatedly realized that Leylin was mysteriously dissolving, turning into a vine with thorns wrapped around his body.
Thorns mercilessly dug up the meat. The maid could even feel the vine come alive and greedily eat its blood.
"Cursing! It's golem! What is this spell? Shadow Embodiments? Leeching Vine's? ”When the acolyte loses a lot of blood, it gets messy.
"ah! You can't do this! Please ...... Please forgive me ..... ”
The maid begged. Unfortunately, the vines immediately wriggled and covered his mouth.
* Bang! * The spell effect disappears, and on the ground is left the withered corpse of the misdinar.
Against his enemies, Leylin was never merciful.
……
The second day, Leylin once again visited the market.
"Master! Do you need a guide? I only need 1 Magic Crystal! ”The noisy little kids are still clamoring at the entrance.
Today Leylin had changed his clothes. And in order to hide herself further, she changed her appearance as well.
Although his face was previously fake, there was no guaranteed special spell effect that could penetrate and see through the robe.
As for the energy waves and the like, Leylin was not too worried about it. Yesterday he deliberately avoided the official Magi, so his energy waves would never be recorded.
In order to capture the energy waves generated by the Spiritual Strength, an official Magus would have to make sufficient preparations beforehand. There would be no Magi who would not have anything better to do.
"You'll do it!" Leylin randomly picked a little girl.
"Thank you! Sir, I am very familiar with this place! ”That little girl was a little happy. She was wearing a white dress and looked rather skinny.
After throwing the Magic Crystal at the girl, Leylin said slowly, "I want to enter an area higher up his level!"
His voice was modified to sound different from the previous day.
“Area with higher level? You mean ...... Second level? ”The little girl asked with a little hesitation.
"Of course!" This was the point for Leylin's experience of patiently accumulating after coming to the market many times. This market was not very big, and Leylin always felt that something was missing. Certain valuable resources are also not present in this market. These little kids guides are most likely standing here waiting for a strong customer to take them to a more hidden area.
“Since you know about the second level, then you should also understand that if you do not have an item worth more than 1000 Magic Crystals or a guarantor, you will be denied entry. ”
“Since you know about the second level, then you should also understand that if you do not have an item worth more than 1000 Magic Crystals or a guarantor, you will be denied entry. ”
“Of course I know! Lead way! ”The little girl raised her head, yet she could not see the expression behind Leylin's robe. He could only lower his head and lead.
“Although there should be many official Magi in the second level, there is no choice. Two ancient formulas, Azure Potion and Tears of Mary, plus many of their ingredients have yet to be collected. If I can't even find it here, the largest Magus market, then there's absolutely no chance anymore. I can only find a replacement! ”
Leylin's expression was rather dark. As he traveled, he sold potions along the way and did his best to gather all the ingredients from the two ancient potions. However, so far he has only met with little success. The Ellinel Market was the second largest gathering of Magi after the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. If he was unable to find what he needed here, then Leylin was completely helpless.
Leylin followed the little girl. They arrived at a rather quiet alley.
He used a stone found in the corner of the wall to knock.
* Bang! * Aisle wall shifted, revealing underground passageway.
"Here we go!" The little girl said softly, as if very scared.
"Lead the way!" Leylin followed the little girl and they continued walking down. A few minutes later, they reached the door at the end of the hall.
Two Level 3 Acolytes dressed in blood red robes stood guard. According A. My Scanning chips, they carry Magic Artifacts on their bodies. Leylin was a little surprising. At the same time, he was filled with curiosity towards the market behind him.
The little girl came forward and exchanged words with her two aides before walking back to Leylin. He exclaimed, "Esteemed Master, I can only lead you so far!"
When he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran back up the stairs disappearing into the darkness.
"It looks like there's something in this premium market that scares him!" Leylin thought indifferently as he walked towards his two aides.
"Proof items, or items worth at least 1000 Magic Crystals!" A red-robed maid said coldly. Standing in front of them, Leylin could somehow feel the roars of aggrieved souls hovering around them.
"The horrible people!" Leylin thought to himself. He threw a small sack containing 10 high-grade Crystal Pieces.
The red-robed maid opened and looked before throwing the sack back at Leylin. He then opened the door behind him.
Leylin walked in a hurry. Only after the large door closed behind him did he tend to observe the area in front of him.
Leylin walked in a hurry. Only after the large door closed behind him did he tend to observe the area in front of him.
This field is most likely to be below the previous market. The surface area is smaller, there is only a path that passes through it.
From time to time Magi walked past. Since it was not too crowded, the distance between people passing by was rather far. There were barely any Level 1 Acolytes here. Level 2 Acolytes were also very few. Most of the people here were Level 3 Acolytes. Their bodies all emitted powerful energy waves. Official magi are also rather common.
……
Leylin took a deep breath and walked down the road ……
Half an hour later, Leylin walked out of the stone hut with a Potion mark, his face having clear signs of joy.
They have the main ingredients mentioned by Kroft, as well as other ingredients, "This is indeed the biggest market!"
The main ingredients of the two ancient herbs, Azure Potion and Tears of Mary, were the most important. As for the other ingredients, they were easier to obtain. Being able to buy everything at once exceeded Leylin's expectations.
Leylin spent over half of the 1000 Magic Crystals he had prepared to purchase these materials. He was still satisfied, and felt that the expenditure was worth it.
Getting rid of the ingredients, he anticipated that he would have to find a safe place and start making potions. His mood is rather good. He even felt inclined to take a little walk.
The items here clearly had a higher rate than the market above. Leylin even saw a low-level Magic Artifact dagger for sale.
However, it cost at least 400 Magic Crystals, which immediately made Leylin stop feeling lucky.
Suddenly, Leylin heard noisy noises leave leaving Leylin slightly surprised. He tracks these voices and makes new discoveries.
"Slaver market?"
What Leylin saw in front of him was a large fenced area. Many naked slaves stood behind the fence. Their faces showed extreme numb indifference or humiliation when they allowed their aides and Magi to make their choices.
“Fast! I'll need some slaves of my own! "
Leylin wanted to stay in Extreme Night Town for about 3 years. He can't manage many things alone. Originally, he planned to recruit some guards and servants when he got there, but some high-class slaves were now easily available.
“Fast! I'll need some slaves of my own! "
Leylin wanted to stay in Extreme Night Town for about 3 years. He can't manage many things alone. Originally, he planned to recruit some guards and servants when he got there, but some high-class slaves were now easily available.
After all, they were all raised or controlled by the Magi. This gives the owner better security and guaranteed functionality.
"Master! What are you thinking? Do you need a female slave for your bed? ”Look, these are all good quality, some even from among the nobles.
A slave merchant looked as Leylin walked forward. The slave hurriedly patted the group of female slaves behind him, which carried the effect of the rustling waves.
Behind him were a dozen noble ladies who were completely naked. Their skin was very smooth, and their figure was quite agile. Even if they were slaves, their aura of glory could not be held back.
“How did they get here? I mean, as a noble, wouldn't it be troublesome? '' Leylin was a little curious.
"Please don't worry, these are all nobles who fought and lost the battle. Their territory had long been usurped and their families destroyed. They are legally under the death penalty. There will be no problem at all.
The trader explained.
Leylin looked behind a noblewoman who was being dragged away. There was clearly a noble young lady standing there. He could not help but think of the young noble lady he had met earlier in the forest. If his revenge fails, who knows if he will be sold in this place as well.
"How'd they? Buy a Pair, and it's up to you how you play it! Once you are fed up with them, you can use them for your experiments. Even if they die, it doesn't matter! ”The trader did his best to persuade him.
Leylin shook his head, "I want to buy some guards, preferably of the Knight level. Also, I will need some assistants for my trial! "
“If it's like this!” The merchant stroked his chin, “What you are looking for is a premium slave, and the price will be amazing! Of course, those who could enter here were customers with strength. Please follow me!"
Leylin walked behind the merchant and saw many slaves. Some of them were sturdy youths while some were still children. They all stared out from behind the fence, looking terrified. From time to time some Magi pointed towards them or even walked forward to check on them.
Leylin even saw a group of Magi surrounding several Beastmen and Sea Species slaves, bidding on them.
The merchant pulled Leylin into a large tent, and called fatly, "This is my friend, Dylan. Right, he's got some premium stuff. ”
Leylin did not know what Dylan whispered to the merchant, but after a while, the merchant laughed out loud as he walked away. Only then did Dylan smile towards Leylin and say, "The most respected guest, I already understand your needs! We just received a new batch of premium slaves, please follow me! "
Chapter 53
Subalterns
Leylin followed Dylan into a large white tent.
The smell of incense inside permeated the air. It covered the non-murky smell of slaves and various body impurities. However, the atmosphere was much better than outside.
The slaves here wore thin clothes that could somewhat cover their private areas.
Dylan brought Leylin to some extremely muscular men, "They were all raised and taught by Knights! How do they look? I'd dare say this definitely meets your needs! "
Leylin nodded and walked towards the big bald man, "A. I'm Chip! Scan stat! "
[Beep! Target Strength: 3. 1, Agility: 2. 8, Vitality: 2. 9, Spiritual Strength: 1. 5. Status: Dowsed in neurotoxin!]
The other Knight Level slave stats were more or less similar. Leylin observed that their pupils were dilated and somewhat desperate.
"The minds of these Knights seem to have been influenced by something ……"
Dylan hurriedly smiled apologetically, “The resistance of the knights is always higher than usual, in order to meet the various needs of our customers, we cannot use standard marks to control their consciousness! They had all experienced constant brainwashing and body conquest. Moreover, they were controlled by drugs, turning them into high-level servants. Although they might not be as bright as ordinary Knights, they could still understand some simple commands.
Consciousness imaging was what the official Magi used to control their servants. However, it was somewhat ineffective if his aides were to use it.
Dylan clearly noticed Leylin's strength before offering these items to him.
"It's not bad, how much is it?" Ask Leylin.
"100 Magic Crystals each!" Answer Dylan.
Leylin nodded and picked the two with the best stats. After paying the Magic Crystals, he received a scorpion-like organism from Dylan.
“This Desert Scorpion Strike contains a unique poison. The poisonous secretions from this scorpion were used on both of your slaves. If they did not take the antidote produced by the scorpion within 10 days, they would die horribly! Of course, this should be used as a last resort to control them. After all, during their training, they had been brainwashed into obeying their Master's orders! Now, the lives of these two Knights are yours! ”
Dylan respectfully handed over the box containing the scorpion sting.
Leylin nodded and kept the box. "Also, I need a servant, who can take on the role of an assistant during the experiment ……"
As Leylin walked out of the market, two Knights wearing armor and a refined yet beautiful servant followed behind him.
The servant's eyes were clear and she was wearing a black cotton dress. According to Dylan, this servant received extensive training since he was young. He was more than enough to serve as an assistant for a simple experiment. He met Leylin's requirements quite well. Moreover, he had taken the essence of the Mandara Flower, which could ward off the radiation from the Magus. This makes it look young.
The cost is its life span, which is shortened to just 30 years.
“The Ellinel market did very well in designing this level. We can choose our way out freely. However, this is a service that only premium customers enjoy! ”
When Leylin and his servants appeared, they were no longer in the small village. They're on the outer wall of the city.
This is a premium service provided by Ellinel Market, but there is also a fee for it.
If this helped him avoid more trouble, it was worth it for Leylin who was not very strong right now.
"Master!" The Knights and servants knelt down and saluted him.
"Ein!" Leylin nodded nonchalantly, "Do you have a name?"
The two Knights looked at each other, and their eyes dimmed at last, "No, please give us one, Master!" The servant also shook his head and indeed looked rather pitiful.
"You'll be called Greem! He pointed to the greater Knight. "You'll be called Fraser!" This is another Knight.
"You'll be called Greem! He pointed to the greater Knight. "You'll be called Fraser!" This is another Knight.
"Thank you for giving us Master's name, we will faithfully carve it in our hearts!" The three subordinates kneeled on the ground and kissed Leylin's shoes.
"Good . "Leylin waved his hand and made them stand up. He then looked around.
It seemed to be a small forest, and there was even a shadow of a large city ahead. At least, it was ten times larger than the city he was in before. The entrance has a carriage and carts in and out. Seems evolved.
“Greem! Go buy a horse carriage in the city, I will wait for you here! '' Leylin threw the black wallet at the greater Knight.
"Also, buy some stuff for our trip, as well as some clothes!" Leylin instructed him.
Even since he destroyed his chest of spell books and sold all of his potions, his remaining treasures numbered in excess of 3000 Magic Crystals all of them. The share was also reduced by more than half. He can fit them all in a backpack. As for the camping item he used before, he had already destroyed it before going to the market to save himself from the difficulty of returning.
"Yes, Master!" Greem picked up the money wallet and slightly bowed as he was about to leave.
"Also, don't call me Master from now on, Young Master will!" Leylin touched his young face and was somewhat confused.
"We obey!" The three of them knelt on the ground.
Seeing Greem's figure leave, Leylin suddenly turned around and asked Fraser, "Do you have a hunch about the time before you became a slave?"
Fraser had brown hair and blue eyes, and his body was covered in scars. Moreover, his age could not be determined, but he seemed to have a lot of experience and suffering.
“I can't remember anymore! Every time I try, I feel a splitting pain in my head. "Fraser touched his forehead as if trying to remember something. His face was wrinkled with pain.
"So it's like this!" Leylin suspected that it might be the influence of some medicine or spell that was only effective on normal humans. Right now he might be able to crack it if he were to waste time, but he had absolutely no intention of doing so.
"So it's like this!" Leylin suspected that it might be the influence of some medicine or spell that was only effective on normal humans. Right now he might be able to crack it if he were to waste time, but he had absolutely no intention of doing so.
After all, the goal was to acquire subordinates, not to look for trouble. Those captured as slaves were the losers in battle and war. If they recovered their memories and sought Leylin's help, then what should he do? Even if they did not, who knew if they would remain loyal to him.
"What about you?" Leylin looked at the shy Anna.
Anna's skin was very white and emitted a milky light. It made Leylin impulsively want to touch her. Her face was also very beautiful like a doll.
"Anna had been raised by a merchant since childhood, and was eventually sold to Sir Dylan ……"
“For a waitress like her, it is naturally more convenient to take care of her at a very young age. Moreover, he had to learn various sciences, and makeup etiquette. Only then did he deserve the favor of those higher-ups. Of course, he had to take some lessons to please men. Anna looked at Leylin who was still covered in a robe, unable to see his face. However, based on that voice alone, it was concluded that the voice should have belonged to a younger person. He couldn't resist blushing.
What lessons have you learned before? How much do you know about the Magi? "
“I've learned and , but. Anna is not his maid. For an experiment that required the use of energy particles, I was helpless in the area ... My apology, Young Master! ”Anna's fingers clenched her dress and looked uncomfortable.
“It wasn't bad at all. "Leylin was actually satisfied.
He has a lot of secrets. Letting an outsider join his experiment was inappropriate. Helping him with basic preparation was good enough.
If he wanted Magus' assistant, he should be at least an acolyte level. This level of a slave was extremely expensive and was always fraught with problems as well.
Although he saw nothing in the slave market, Leylin knew that some other place in the market, there would be another slave market that specialized in selling his servants as slaves.
After all, for many Dark Magi, only his aides were resistant to radiation, which was the best subject for their experiments.
Regarding the slave sources of the culprits, they made use of war criminals or prisoners.
If the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy is completely defeated, and the headquarters is captured, then the fate of all his aides in the academy — regardless of being supported by the powerful faction — will most likely end up as slaves.
As for the likes of Leylin who escaped earlier, he could only draw a clear line between himself and the academy in the future. And take the four seas as his home, be a miserable wanderer.

"Right now, I can only pray for the academy to win....Even if they lose, I hope they don't lose badly.." Leylin looked towards the West, his expression a little grim.
Seeing the Young Master being pensive, Anna and Fraser lowered their heads as well, not daring to say a word.
With the sound of the rolling wheels gradually getting closer, Leylin could see a Knight riding a horse carriage, his appearance looking like a Greem.
The horse carriage was pitch-black and did not have many patterns on it. The merchants selling the carriage did not know if Greem belonged to a noble, so they did not dare to write on the carriage. However, it looks very sturdy. A few large dark horses pulled him over, dashing quickly to Leylin.
"Young Master!" Greem got off the train, and handed the money purse back to Leylin with both hands, "Carriage fee ……"
“No further discussion needed. "Leylin took over, and then threw the money wallet to Anna," In the future you will deal with finances, if there is not enough ask me! "
"Yes, Young Master!" Anna carefully kept the money wallet.
Inside were only a few gold coins used by normal humans. Leylin only needed a little effort to get as much as he wanted. What he was worried about was the Magic Crystals, the currency used in the Magus World.
It was a pity that even in the Southern Coastal Region, Magic Crystals were in very high demand as currency. After visiting so many markets, Leylin could see stores exchanging coins for Magic Crystals, but never the other way around.
This is his subordinate in the future. After thinking for a while, Leylin opened the veil and revealed a dashing face. However, his appearance still changed somewhat.
"You will be my trusted assistant in the future, so take a look at my true appearance!"
The reason why Leylin was disguised was to buy and sell resources. Right now since all of his potions were sold, he did not need a disguise. These people also have to meet Leylin every day, so they will definitely see his actual appearance – so the sooner the better.
After Leylin removed the spell, his facial muscles moved, and returned to his original youthful face.
Seeing Anna and the others nodding their heads, Leylin commanded, "Let's head off to Eastwoods Province!"
Chapter 54
Roran City
On the wide road, the horse carriage drove fast. In the driver's seat sat two large men wearing metallic armor and a long sword. One look and people get the message that they should not be confused. The surrounding farmers rushed out of their way.
Inside the car, the smell of wood and varnish was mixed and somewhat unpleasant.
Leylin's nose wrinkled as he smelled the scent of perfume. Seeing Anna blushing beside him, Leylin smiled and gestured, "Come here!"
As he approached, Leylin made him lie down in the middle, then placed his head on his chest.
His hand comfortably crept around Anna's thigh. Thin cotton fabric can not hide its beauty. Leylin felt as if both of his hands were touching a warm and soft piece of jade.
Enjoying the softness he was leaning on, and hearing Anna's breath, made Leylin feel extremely satisfied. He sighed, closed both eyes and remained silent.
He has been feeling restless lately, as he has to be careful after every trade. It occupied much of Leylin's mind. Now that he didn't need to do it anymore, Leylin could finally rest, and get plenty of time to rest. He even had two Knights to take care of matters.
Naturally, the two Knights would sleep outside, leaving the inside of the carriage to their Master and servants. Leylin is not a real man. Moreover, Anna was also quite beautiful and excelled in that field. Unemployed on the carriage, he had naturally already slept with her. There were even faint traces of dark red blood on the cabin floor.
As the servant that Leylin had bought, how could Anna fight against her master? Along the way, she serves wholeheartedly and tries various positions with him, which also satisfies some of her talismans.
“Thank God I'm a witch. I can use magic herbs and go through meditation to continue to recover and improve my Vitality. With Leylin's sad body before, I will most likely be prematurely aged ... ”.
Leylin ordered mentally, "A. I'm Chip, show me my stats! "
[Leylin Farlier, Level 2 Acolyte. Power: 2. 7, Agility: 2. 8, Vitality: 3. 0, Spiritual Strength: 4. 6, Magic Power: 4. 0. Status: Healthy]
“Four to five months have passed, and I persevere in meditation every day. To think that there is only an increase of 0. 2 .... "Leylin's expression was a little unsightly," I had to rush to the destination and settle down to try brewing the ancient potion. Who knows when I will meet the requirements to advance? "
All of his aides faced obstacles when rising to Level 3. Even a fifth-grade aide like Jayden would still need years of training to make a breakthrough.
After analyzing the conditions necessary to advance, mastering the spell and making the Reactive Elixir trivial. Just passing the bottleneck 7 Spiritual Force remained puzzling to countless acolyt geniuses. Even the official Magi did not have a good solution to overcome this aspect of cultivating Spiritual Strength. Only fervent and fervent meditation has any effectiveness or perhaps a potion of uses and types can be an alternative. These costs, unfortunately, cannot be borne by a typical aide.
Currently Leylin was also stuck at the bottleneck of the same Spiritual Force.
"A . I'm Chip! How was the analysis of the two potions? And what progress has been made in deciphering the Lowian Teachings? ”
[Beep! Analysis progress Azure Potion: 100%, Analysis progress Tears of Mary: 78%, Analysis progress Lowian Teachings: 63. 7%] A. My Voice Chip sounded.
“Azazure Banquet has been fully analyzed for a long time. Unfortunately, the main ingredient is now completely extinct. Finding a replacement required countless experiments. As for the Tears of Mary, it has been at 78% for 3 months now with no signs of progress at all. Can some important procedures be lost?
Leylin's brows furrowed; an . My chip processing ability is very strong. The progress in analyzing the ancient potions of the Tears of Mary Analysis stagnated at 78%, which made Leylin somewhat surprised.
“Formula-formula that Professor Kroft gave me should be right. If a. I Chip couldn't analyze them after all this time, it might have been met with some difficult questions that were outside the parameters of the data bank! The tears! "Leylin guessed.
"Could it be ...... That this ancient herb potion has something to do with the soul?"
After all hearing the name of this herb, one would easily associate it with some fateful events.
As for the Lowian Teachings, the progress was quite good. Although the creators used very complicated coding to ensure confidentiality, A. I Chip was at least daunted by the complicated calculations.
Leylin roughly knew the general contents of this scroll by reading the previous parts that had been analyzed.
"Unfortunately, although this item is not bad, I can only use it when I become a Level 3 Acolyte!"
Leylin shook his head and put away these disturbing thoughts.
Suddenly, the horse carriage stopped.
Leylin's brows furrowed as he asked, "Is there something going on?"
"Young Master please calm down, it's just a group of bandits who have blocked the road!" Fraser's gone to take care of it! "Greem sound through the wooden wall.
"Young Master please calm down, it's just a group of bandits who have blocked the road!" Fraser's gone to take care of it! "Greem sound through the wooden wall.
* ping Pang! Bang out! *
As expected, moments later it seemed the negotiations had failed. The sounds of various weapons clashing could be heard. After some profanity and constant lamentation, Fraser's voice was heard saying “It's done. “The horse-drawn carriage once again continues the journey.
This kind of result made Leylin feel extremely satisfied.
The reason why he bought two Knights and a servant was so that all trivial matters would be dealt with by them, giving him more time to focus on researching spells and conducting more experiments.
These problems have been trivial all along. Leylin had a vague outline of a plan that would require the participation of many to complete. And these 3 people are the core of it all.
“Muda ..... Young Master!” Anna who was behind him, let go of panting.
Only then did Leylin realize that his hand had slipped. While he was deep in thought, his hand involuntarily touched Anna's private parts.
Leylin smiled and pulled his hand.
Seeing Anna's face still blushing, he said, “At this time Young Master is busy with something! I'll have time tonight to play with you ... ”.
These intimate words made Anna somewhat embarrassed as she lowered her head.
Pretending not to see the temptation right in front of him, he said "A. I'm Chip! Submit the fully analyzed Azure Potion formula! ”
Leylin always drew a clear line between entertainment and research. At the most important moment, he would definitely not be infatuated and lose the desire to improve himself.
……
Seeing that Leylin had already closed both of his eyes, Anna's eyes were blunt. He then arranged his clothes back to his previous neatness and tried his best to adjust his body so that Leylin could rest more comfortably.
The night came after what felt like a moment.
The night came after what felt like a moment.
Leylin regained consciousness after meditation.
"Young master! There is a city not far from here! ”Greem voice flashed.
"Where are we now?"
"According to the mark on the map, we should have entered Eastwoods Province. This was Roran City, located on the provincial border! "
The sound of bumping into things being searched rang out, as Fraser spoke.
"Roran City huh?" Leylin muttered to himself and adjusted the map stored in A. I'm Chip.
On the faint blue map, the red-colored lines were associated with many cities. Roran City was to the west of Extreme Night City, just a few days away.
"After half a year of traveling, we finally arrived huh?" Leylin felt a little sad.
The reason why he chose this place before was his distance from the – Abyssal Bone Forest Academy he would not be affected by the conflict going on there. Another consideration was that just by being away from the academy, he could conduct some banned experiments.
After all, he had an A. The chips in his body and also the process for many experiments were very unusual. If he were to experiment in the academy, using scraps or trash, the chances of being found were unavoidable.
However, Leylin felt less restrained since he went – like a caged walnut that was released and soared into the sky.
Leylin opened the carriage door, and a gust of cold wind blew.
"Feelings of freedom!" Leylin looked at the city, which looked somewhat silent, and the farmers nearby. He couldn't help but smile.
"First find a place to stay. We'll leave in the morning!"
Leylin gave the order. In the wild, it was natural to stay in a horse carriage or inside a tent. However, since they had reached the human abode, Leylin naturally did not want to eliminate this opportunity.
The black-coloured horse carriage entered the city under the respectful gazes of the guards.

To the people in Eastwoods Province, having a carriage, guards and servants, raised Leylin to the level of an unemployed noble.
In fact, Leylin was indeed a descendant of nobles. It was just that it was not the nobility of this continent.
Leylin had never considered using the title of dukedom of the Chernobyl Islands here. However, the status of a noble could indeed greatly reduce the problem.
After finding a place in the local inn for the inn, Leylin called the attendant.
"Do you know where I can hire people here?" Leylin played with the gold coins in his hand.
Looking at Anna behind Leylin, and staring intently at the gold coin in Leylin's hand, the attendant could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
“Honored Master! If you need an attendant, the labor market next to the City Lord's Manor will be your best choice. There, you can hire strong soldiers, proficient housekeepers, and even a variety of stable servants and hands.
"Very good! Take me there tomorrow and this gold coin will be yours! "Leylin smiled.
This time, he could stay in Extreme Night City for a long time. Leylin naturally wanted peace and quiet. He needed people who could carry out his bidding. Since he did not want to be controlled by others, he would not be able to avoid using his own influence.
With Anna and the two knights as his core followers, and hiring a few more people from Roran City, his entourage would be more or less complete.
Although he could hire more people in Extreme Night City, they would definitely be infiltrated. As for Roran City, although it was inevitable, it was good to reduce the number and influence to a minimum level.
Dinner is white bread with vegetable soup. Although the shopkeeper had already picked up the best item to serve Leylin, it was still somewhat lacking compared to the academy's cafeteria.
As Leylin ate, many customers in the store hid in the corner. They wear gray or brown robes. Their eyes gave respect and fear.
Looking at the empty space around him, Leylin smiled bitterly.
Chapter 55
Roran Hawks
The next morning, Leylin was guided to the job market in Roran City by officers.
The labor market was beside the City Lord's Manor, so the public safety there was not bad. Leylin at least did not see any fights happening.
Along the way, there were many people looking at Leylin and his group. They were especially interested in Anna, who was behind Leylin, because she was an incredible beauty, and even more so after dressing up. Fortunately, they did not dare to try anything funny as they were somewhat afraid of Greem who was covered in armor.
"Master! This is the job market in Roran City. Everyone you need can be found here, besides you can also issue recruitment related missions ...... ”The officer explained to Leylin's group of three people.
As for Fraser, Leylin made him stay at the inn to guard the horse carriage and luggage.
Although important items such as potion materials and Crystal Crystals were in Leylin, if they lost some items such as gold coins and the like, it would prove to be rather troublesome.
Leylin surveyed the job market before him.
In his view there was a large field, with steady hand groups, mercenaries and people crouching on the ground, waiting for some employers to hire them.
Leylin knew that there should be a slave market as well, yet it could not be displayed blatantly in the open. After all, even the Magus market had to arrange it covertly.
However this was good in Leylin's plan, he only wanted the entourage to rent here, so the requirements were lower.
"Young Master, how can I help you?" When Leylin entered the market, a group of traders and traders swarmed over him. They were obviously fascinated by Leylin's luxurious clothes and shouted hoarsely as they tried to promote their products.
“I need a group of mercenaries to escort me to Extreme Night City, and also to guard my land there. Contract duration of at least two years! ”Seeing the excited traders, Leylin stated his terms.
Upon reaching this part of the continent, Leylin realized that the novels, in the previous world talking about mercenary groups and bandit gangs and the like, were all nonsense.
Apart from the few big cities Leylin had yet to visit, in Roran City and other small-town markets, there was no such group to speak of.
All such jobs, assassinations or similar missions, were arranged in the local bar or trading office, some locations were even very strange.
"After all, the cost should be taken into account, and, if the wages did not even cover the cost of operations, there would be no fools willing to throw their gold coins into the water!"
"Then, can I ask if you have any requirements regarding the number of escorts and their strength?" A thin man with a shiny bald head broke through the merchants, and asked loudly.
“Total people huh? About 10 to 15! Their strength only needed to be on par with the standard of an average guard. The only request I have is loyalty and honor! Since the mission can be extended for 2 years, I have to issue a contract, and the salary will be given every month! "
Leylin said softly.
"Then, I have a group of mercenaries here that suits your needs!" The bald merchant smiled.
“Roran Hawks Mercenary Group just finished their holiday. Moreover, they were citizens of Roran City, so their reputation could definitely be assured! ”The bald trader explained.
Leylin noticed that when the bald mention of the Roran Hawks Mercenary Group, everyone fell silent. Some even looked honorable and envious. Looks like the Roran Hawks have a great reputation here.
"Well fine then! Take me to see them, the commission will definitely be given to you later! "Said Leylin.
"Please follow me!" The bald trader took the lead, taking Leylin out of the market.
After the maid at the inn received her gold coins, she said goodbye. Anna and Greem followed behind Leylin; the group of four walked currently for about half an hour before reaching the southern part of the city.
After the maid at the inn received her gold coins, she said goodbye. Anna and Greem followed behind Leylin; the group of four walked currently for about half an hour before reaching the southern part of the city.
After arriving here, the surrounding buildings were constructed differently. If the central part of the city is modeled after the City Lord's Manor, with buildings that are very admirable and respectful, then the southern part of the building is colorful in various styles. Very similar to housing.
"This seems to be an area where free city residents gather!" Leylin muttered as he saw crushed stones placed on the pavement, and small flower terraces and stone lamps.
“You have good eyesight, Sir. Those who lived here were mostly merchants and free citizens of Roran City. The Roran Hawks Mercenary Group also lives here! ”
"Are you not going to take us to the training grounds of this mercenary group?" Green asked at the side.
"Honorary sir! The Roran Hawks Mercenary Group was only a small unit, and the number did not exceed 30. Their reputation only spread within Roran City. It was just a casual alliance formed by their leader. The cost of renting a place for them to practice will make their mission income obsolete. So, who would want to do that? ”Si bald said with a wry smile
“Usually, each member is busy with their own problems. They gather only when they receive a mission! "Saying that, the bald looked at Leylin, and smiled apologetically," Although the Roran Hawks Mercenaries were few in number, most of them were retired veterans. Moreover, their leader had once been the leader of the middle-class forces in the army, and his strength was not bad …… "
Clearly, baldness worried Leylin who was prejudiced against the mercenary group, but this matter also could not be hidden, so he could only say before they found out.
“Middle-level army leader huh? I look forward to meeting him! '' Leylin smiled, he actually didn't really mind who he hired at Roran City, as their role was mainly to run errands for him in the future.
"We have arrived!" The bald man carried Leylin and the others in front of a two-story villa. Inside the circle surrounded by rosewood fences, there was a pond and a small garden. There was a small type of white flower, the petals were very small, but with a dense aroma, a middle-aged woman was currently watering the flowers.
"Hello! Madame Lariette! Does Fayern exist? I brought business for him! ”The bald si greets the woman watering the plant.
"Of course he's here, my dear friend!" Before the woman replied, a bold and unrestrained voice sounded from inside the house.
A large man wearing a white shirt walked over and hugged the bald man.
"Dear fayern! Let me introduce to you— this is Sir Leylin who came from the central part of our city. He wants to hire your Roran Hawks Mercenary Group to escort him to Extreme Night City! ”The box explained to Fayern.
"Dear fayern! Let me introduce to you— this is Sir Leylin who came from the central part of our city. He wants to hire your Roran Hawks Mercenary Group to escort him to Extreme Night City! ”The box explained to Fayern.
"Hello! Dear Lord, if you choose to go to Extreme Night City, then the Roran Hawks Mercenary Group will be your best bet. We have crossed the route over 100 times, and recognized every stone, nook, and cranny in the way. ”
Fayern bowed slightly towards Leylin and laughed as she spoke loudly.
Leylin noticed that the eyes of the leader of this group had judged the three of them. Especially lingering in Greem, as if finding something. However, he ignored Leylin.
"The outward appearance is rough but the inner quality is shrewd! He is also a Preparatory Knight! "Leylin observed, and at this moment, A. I'm Chip scanning Fayern's statistics.
[Name: Fayern. Strength: 1. 8, Agility: 1. 5, Vitality: 1. 7, Spiritual Strength: 1. 4]
This statistic among the Preparatory Knights was only considered average, but from Fayern's callus and the few scars on both of his hands, it could be seen that he had abundant experience as a mercenary.
"We can discuss this later, won't you invite us to sit down?" Leylin smiled, and pointed towards the villa.
“Oh, of course I will! Please enter! "Fayern patted his head and moved his body while bowing. His right hand stretched out, making an invitation for them to enter.
After exiting the park, immediately the villa's living room.
The floor was painted red, and on one of the four walls around it hung rusty, stained blades of the cross. Beside him was a deer-owned skull, with crooked horns intertwined and had a pitch-black luster.
Fayern respectfully invited Leylin and his group to rest on the sofa in the living room. She also asked Lady Lariette to give Leylin and the rest a drink similar to black tea and then began to go into the details.
“I heard from Nigel that this esteemed Young Master wants to go to Extreme Night City? If it's not a hassle, can you tell me why? Please forgive me, only after assessing the risk can the group make preparations for it.
Leylin sipped a drink similar to this black tea – it tasted rather sweet and salty so he did not like the taste of – before he put down his cup.

Leylin sipped a drink similar to this black tea – it tasted rather sweet and salty so he did not like the taste of – before he put down his cup.
“About the mission this time, I just want to start some business there, and need manpower for security. Don't worry about any other problems! "Leylin looked at Fayern, while the latter was somewhat embarrassed and looked down.
Clearly, Fayern considered Leylin an illegitimate son of a nobleman who had lost a power struggle and been expelled.
“The reason why I hired you is because the people in Roran City would not be easy to buy when compared to the people in Extreme Night City. In addition, I have received news that there are some interesting events that have recently happened in Extreme Night City .... ”Leylin smiled and said.
"An interesting thing?" Group Leader Fayern guessed, "Is this about an incident where the vegetation near the Extreme Night City neighborhood suddenly withered? ”
"Really! The forest, the size of a small village, suddenly withered. It really worries people. Because of this incident, I believe it is necessary to increase the strength of the guards. ”
“As for income, I can give each monthly salary one gold coin. However, each must sign an employment contract to agree to follow my orders for a minimum of 2 years or more. ”
Leylin locked onto each other his 10 fingers, as he gave his opinion.
Fayern's face was worried, obviously he made a choice. After a moment of silence, he struggled to say, "Other issues will be fine, what about the duration of the mission?"
“Although the two-year period is rather long, you should not always stay in Extreme Night City. I promise you during the idle period, I will give them time off to visit their loved ones. Also, if they want to bring their wives and families to Extreme Night City, I can also set the right position for them.... ”Leylin's voice echoed in the living room.
"Sir, I've seen your sincerity. I want to talk about it with some of my brothers; after all, I don't run a mercenary group alone. I can give you an answer tomorrow, so please rest assured, Sir! ”, Fayern said as he stood up and bowed slightly.
"Good! We will be waiting for good news from you! ”While Fayern was saluting, Leylin calmly got up and together with the bald servants and merchants, left the villa.
