Chapter 76
Experimenting and Precipitating
In the blink of an eye, it was already late for autumn.
The fertile farms were all filled with golden yellow wheat. The windmill in the distance continued to spin and the earth looked ecstatic from the abundance.
* Dang Dang Dang! *
Traveling down the street in the middle of the ranch was a group of horse carriages and armored Knights with strength and endurance that far exceeded ordinary people. On the armor on their shoulder plates was a crescent emblem — this was the emblem belonging to the Extreme Night City Lord, Viscount Jackson!
Upon seeing the horse carriage, the peasants hurriedly avoided the road, took off their hats and bowed.
Amidst the Knights and troops, there were several horse carriages veiled with black cloths. As this carriage moved forward, the sound of metal chains clanging was produced from it which gave off an unpleasant feeling.
“See this direction! It seems to be heading to the villa! This should be the third group this month! ”A farmer with a brown beard mutters to himself.
“Old Johan! What are you looking at? ”A farmer on the other side shouted.
“That horse-drawn carriage! I keep feeling that something is wrong. Earlier when the wind blew, I saw a figure inside the horse carriage…. "Old John's Alis wrinkled.
"Certainly? It could be that our noble lord has already started buying female slaves carefully! You know, our kind but lazy landlord, is still a teenager! ”
The farmer beside Old John supported him and grumbled, “It is better for us not to bother with the problems of these people. Le's go! Rose Pub recently had a new rum …. ”
The silhouette of the two cultivators disappeared gradually in the distance.
As for the other side, the procession of the horse carriage stopped outside Leylin's house. Greem and Fraser had been waiting for them for a long time.
"According to the orders of the City Lord, 'stuff' has arrived!" The Knight Leader unfolded his robe, revealing a horrifying face filled with scars.
"Open the prisoner's carriage!" With the leader's orders, the subordinates hurriedly opened the carriage carrying the prisoners, revealing the prisoners chained inside.
These prisoners only wore rough armor and these had holes and were covered with dirt. They are all different bodies. Short, tall, skinny and fat. However, a common similarity was the murderous aura that was closed in their expressionless eyes.
Knights like Greem and Fraser were very sensitive to killing intent. Only the person who actually committed the killing would have this aura.
"There are 5 men. They are all vile criminals. Every legal case about them was enough to execute the death penalty a dozen times …. Of course, the City Lord had long approved of their death sentence. In the eyes of the law, they are already 'dead'…. ”
The Knight Leader grinned, and his scar-filled face became increasingly strange. “For whatever reason, even for the sake of those innocent victims, never let them go so easily…. ”
"Their fate is all in the hands of the Young Master!" After receiving the criminals, Greem said, "However, we can guarantee that none of them will come out of this palace …. ”
After a satisfactory response, the Knight leader brought his troops and an empty prison train out of the villa.
As for Greem, he forcefully brought 5 criminals under the castle grounds.
Torches in the darkness, tightly locked doors, and dry underground passageways horrified these criminals. However, with the two Knights, Greem and Fraser, they had no chance to fight back.
Greem leads the way familiarly, taking 5 criminals each to a different prison. After which, he came to the newly excavated experimental laboratory and waited at the side.
Although there was a thick wall, and the surroundings had extremely bright torches, Greem still felt his hair standing on its end, and cold sweat running down his body.
As a Knight slave, he knew part of Leylin's identity. He knew more about the darkness and terror behind those walls!
"That place is practically hell!" The first time Greem was summoned inside by Leylin, he said that without thinking much. After which, this fearless Knight vomited all night.
Half an hour passed. For Greem, time seemed to have crawled like half a year. Especially when the occasional indistinct scream seeped through the sturdy wall with the piercing impression of his eardrum!
May heaven have mercy! Although Greem was not a good person, and his hands were also covered in blood, the moans and wails behind the stone walls were something that no human could produce anymore.
* Creaking! * Sturdy steel doors open and Leylin steps out. On his body was a bloodstain.
"It's a pity that the body of the experimenter is not strong enough and is unable to bear the effects of the spell! I hope the next few experimental bodies will be more durable …. ”
For research on the soul, Leylin had no materials available. So he could only adopt the roughest methods that continued to collect data through experimentation.
For research on the soul, Leylin had no materials available. So he could only adopt the roughest methods that continued to collect data through experimentation.
"Young Master!" Greem hurriedly bowed. "Today Castle City Lord has sent 5 more people and they are all inside their cells …. ”
"All right!" Leylin nodded.
Although he was a Level 3 Acolyte, before advancing into an official Magus, Leylin did not have enough guarantees to challenge the self-proclaimed Magi "Light", so some things still had to be hidden.
Only Greem and Fraser handle receiving goods. Other than them, Anna also knew quite a bit about it. Other than them, even Fayern and Old Welker, the housekeeper, knew nothing about Leylin's deeds.
Although they had some faint conjectures, but Leylin always discarded the useless 'ingredients' by cremating them with medicinal powder. Without evidence, even if anyone was suspicious, they could do nothing against him.
“This is a power limit! The official magi in the academy could waltz through the slave market to purchase slaves as materials. They could even fish and cheat his aides, but no one could punish them! However, I am only a lowly maid and alone. I still have to think about my reputation …. ”
Leylin stroked his chin.
"A . I'm Chip, how's the data collection on experimental objects today? "
Leylin asked inwardly.
[The Spiritual Strength of experimental subjects has been found to have 23 abnormal brain fluctuations and within the cerebrum there are 45 hidden locations …. ]
An . My Voice Chip sounded.
"Using prisoners as living subjects and conducting experiments to obtain research and data on spirit bodies, it seems like it can be done!"
Leylin nodded, "Just the amount is still too little …. ”
Turning around, he looked at the seemingly uncomfortable Greem from the start, "You're fine, go now!"
"As far as you are, Sir!" Greem bowed and heaved a sigh of relief as he hurriedly ran.
As an ordinary human being, of course he was somewhat conflicted with these issues, not to mention the set limits of slave training. But Leylin's strength had far surpassed Greem's. Hence, he could only find trouble to bear but did not dare to show reluctance.
As an ordinary human being, of course he was somewhat conflicted with these issues, not to mention the set limits of slave training. But Leylin's strength had far surpassed Greem's. Hence, he could only find trouble to bear but did not dare to show reluctance.
As its owner, Leylin had naturally seen through this point.
“After all, he is just an ordinary human being and such an incident is foreseeable. As long as he still obeys orders, the others I don't need to care about…. "Leylin recalled Greem's expression for a moment, before completely forgetting about it. His black robe swirled around him as he disappeared into the underground lab.
"Leylin, my friend, we meet again!"
His green hair trailing the ground, Langford looked at Leylin and sincerity was visible on his face.
Ever since the previous incident between Leylin and Langford, they had actually traded a few more times. They even made a friendship and became quite good friends.
How things got like this was because Leylin discovered that when Langford wasn't crazy, his character was kind of nice. In addition, the inventory of his items was constant and the prices at Brey Canyon were cheaper than any other magician.
Among magicians, profit is the only constant. As for other things, most of them could be left behind.
“Langford! This time, I really need the goods! Look at! "
Leylin nodded as he handed the yellow parchment paper with a scribble on it.
“I rarely see this side of you! Let me check it out! ”Langford picked up the parchment paper and immediately gritted his teeth.
"Kosh Bird Dirt, Stellar Alloy …. All of these items were connected to the soul aspect and not cheap stuff! ”
* Dong! * A small sack immediately slammed into Langford's desk.
After loosening the ropes around it, sparkling Magic Crystals were revealed within.
"Don't worry about Magic Crystals, this is the demon. I will make up for the difference later with the potion! '' Leylin spoke in a rich and arrogant manner.
"Rubber! With your abilities, Magic Crystals are only a small matter! ”
Langford's eyes shone, and immediately stored the Magic Crystal sack onto his robe, "The Kosh Bird was on the verge of extinction. I heard that some people have tried it before in the Black Death Mountain Plains. As for Stellar Alloy, I have a piece here …. ”
Langford immediately rummaged through the shelves behind him, after which he opened a small black box.

Langford immediately rummaged through the shelves behind him, after which he opened a small black box.
In the center of the red satin interior was a silver-colored stone with blue spots
“Materials you need, Stellar Alloy, Flowerless Leaves. As for the others, maybe you can see further inside the canyon …. ”
Langford hurriedly stacked the items together, and calculated the final value, "785 Magic Crystals!"
"All right!" Leylin stroked his chin somewhat reluctantly, "I'll go to look at the market. Also, you should keep looking for the items I requested and buy them when you can! ”
"All right!" After Langford agreed, his face changed and the green hair continued to shrink, soon reaching the waist area of his legs.
"Lea .. Go now!" Langford's face wrinkled, and one of his eyes was already flushed red.
Leylin turned around, until he left the cave some distance away before a howling sound rang out in his ears.
“A intermittent illness like this is really scary…. '' Leylin's footsteps did not stop and headed straight into the depths of the canyon.
"Quick, look! Langford has been acting again …. ”
"Should we tell the protectors?"
“I'm afraid it won't be of much use. Hehe, not long after, Langford will be expelled from this place. ”
At the same time, from both sides of the cave, many of his aides wearing pointy hats looked towards the howling sound. Expressions of unease, indifference, and generosity were seen on various faces.
After being busy for some time, Leylin emerged from Brey Canyon. On his back was an additional black backpack filled with various materials.
Leylin turned to look at Brey Canyon, before riding his dark horse and leaving.
Chapter 77
News From the Academy
Inside the spacious and bright room was a full-size mirror.
The mirror was taller than a person and decorated along its side with black leaves contrasting with white birch wood. A wide variety of different colored gems were also embedded along its edges, making it look extremely luxurious.
At this moment, a young man wearing a bird-tailed coat was standing in front of this mirror. Behind him were a few servants, who were busy straightening his master's clothes.
After tidying up, the young man waved his hand, sending the maid away, leaving her alone in the room.
This young man rated his reflected figure—— building medium height with slim height. She's brown-haired and a little pale. His face could be described as smooth, but the gleam that shone in both of his eyes showed that he had a very active mind.
"Without knowing it, I'm 17 years old!"
Leylin looked at himself in the mirror and spoke with a hint of melancholy.
Time is the sharpest weapon. It turns babies into parents and creates barren deserts by drying out the sea. Even if one was a Magus, they could only slightly prolong their life. But even if they could live for several thousand years, they still could not avoid the slow corrosion of time.
More than a year had passed since Leylin had returned from his previous explorations.
"No! I must fight against the curse of eternal time and seek immortality. Only then do I deserve the fate of being transported to this world! ”
Leylin's eyes turned a fiery black as if an incredible flame was burning within them.
"Mastering! The City Lord's carriage is here! ” Outside the door, Anna's voice could be heard.
"Let him wait a little, I'll be here soon. ”
Leylin faced the mirror and finished sorting through the pads, before taking out a short black stick and leaving the room.
* deng Deng! *
The black horse carriage flew quickly across the street and, upon seeing the emblem of Castle City Castle; the citizens dodged it and made way. They all sent respectful and envious gazes to the horse carriage.
In the cabin, there was only Leylin. Currently, this young man was lying comfortably on a velvet goose feather pillow. His hand lay on its side, revealing a strange pendant on his palm.
The pendant was very similar to a silver cross. On its surface were several red and blue diamonds, which glittered in light, emitting a faint glow.
As Leylin stared at this pendant, a satisfied expression crossed his face.
"According to A. My Calculation Chip, with Stellar Alloy as its centerpiece and the support of the various precious alloys I obtained during my journey, this prototype of Magic Artifact has been synthesized perfectly. ”
This pendant artifact was something that Leylin had synthesized according to the Magic Artifacts section of the Lowian Academy.
3 years ago Leylin managed to purchase a nursing page from the Lowian Academy Teachings, with an A grade. I Chip slowly elaborated the content inside.
The early parts of the teachings were only suitable for his aides, with many trips and adventures recorded. Otherwise, Leylin would never have been able to buy a page at such a low price.
Leylin's luck wasn't bad. After a. I Chip finished deciphering, he obtained a method to synthesize a low-level Magic Artifact.
Fallen Star Pendant – This is the name of the Magic Artifact recipe he obtained. According to Lowian Academy Teachings, this Fallen Star Pendant, while a low-level Magic Artifact, was a rare defensive trait. Compared to the multiple attacks of Magic Artifacts, its value was naturally much higher. Even an official Magus might be interested in him.
After seeing the required materials and the process, Leylin immediately decided that he should synthesize the Fallen Star Pendant.
Although acolytes spells were somewhat destructive, their low defensive ability was always a problem.
Only by transforming into an official Magus, and being able to form innate defensive spells, can there be spells projecting a force field that constantly protects the body. Only then can one be considered an amazing Magus.
As for his aides, they could lose their lives at any time from a sneak attack.
As for his aides, they could lose their lives at any time from a sneak attack.
The few acolytes that had entered the withered forest with Leylin before were the best examples of this case.
Although they were able to cast destructive spells, due to the Great Mankestre Snake, they all perished due to the lack of defensive spells. Only Murphy was lucky enough to stay alive, but that was because Leylin saved him.
Once he had synthesized the Fallen Star Pendant, coupled with some defensive potions, Leylin's defense would be comparable to a fraction of the defense the Magus possessed.
Furthermore, the Fallen Star Pendant's defensive power field would be activated immediately. For example, as long as the opponent's attack power did not exceed the threshold of the Fallen Star Pendant and before his energy was completely depleted, Leylin's defense would become like a strong turtle shell. As long as the Fallen Star Pendant was active, nothing would happen to Leylin.
"Fortunately, there is a magician market near Extreme Night City, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find so many precious materials so quickly!"
Leylin somehow felt happy about it.
After crushing and grinding most of the Magic Crystals he had, as well as adding all the ingredients from the Great Mankestre Snake, he managed to prototype this pendant.
“I have basically spent all the resources I could spend. According to Lowian Academy Teachings, this is just an incomplete product. The core of the Fallen Star Pendant has been completed. What remains is the last step …. ”
Glancing at the Fallen Star Pendant in his hand, he saw the silver cross sparkling and glowing with a variety of colors. On its surface were inscribed mysterious patterns, and everything looked like a mystical work of art.
“While for the last ingredient, I already have it with me. I just need to wait for the right moment before I can begin the spirit awakening for the Fallen Star Pendant! ”
Leylin gripped the Fallen Star Pendant tightly and kept it on his shirt.
“As for Mary's Tears, this ancient formula is really hard to understand. Even after many experiments and obtaining large amounts of data on spirit bodies, I still did not understand anything from looking at this formula! "
Leylin looked dejected, and his mind spun rapidly, "Could it be that my guess was wrong? What if this formula has nothing to do with the spirit body …. ”
"Stop!" The coach's voice was heard from the front. The horse-drawn carriage snapped, when it stopped.
"Mr Leylin! The City Lord's Castle is in front, ”trainer's report, with respect.
"Mr Leylin! The City Lord's Castle is in front, ”trainer's report, with respect.
Leylin shook his head and set his inner thoughts as he walked out of the carriage door.
City Lord Castle is still the same – is as impressive and dignified as ever. The rows of guards on both sides of the entrance stood facing each other, and their gazes never wavered, looking formidable.
"Viscount Jackson is a bit smart!" Ever since the forest-swinging incident, he pretended to be seriously injured and let the news out. After his enemies confirmed the news and started gathering to attack, he caught them at once quickly. He cut off all their heads and their blood overflowed into the trench. From then on, all of Extreme Night City became extremely silent …. ”
"Girlin! My brother!"
Viscount Jackson had been waiting for a long time at the main door. Upon seeing Leylin, he immediately came forward to receive him.
Viscount Jackson had witnessed the power of Leylin's first hand. Not to mention that Leylin was the savior of Viscount Jackson. If not for Leylin, Viscount Jackson would have long fallen prey to the Great Mankestre Snake. ”
"City Lord," Leylin said, nodding his head.
Viscount Jackson grabs Leylin's hand in a friendly manner. After taking Leylin for a walk around his palace garden, he then took Leylin to a private study room.
In the privacy of the castle, Viscount Jackson finally revealed an alarming expression.
"Brother Leylin! The last time you asked for 50 people, but I can't give you that much .. I've sent all the criminals from all my prisons to your place. Also, I even sent you cheating and thieves whose crimes do not demand the death penalty. However, it is still too far from the number you requested …. ”
"It's like this?" Leylin nodded, and sat on the sofa, thinking hard.
Extreme Night City could barely be considered a medium-sized city. Their occupants would not exceed 100,000 people. For Viscount Jackson, providing Leylin with some prisoners meant for the death penalty was still within his means. However, as time went on, the number of death row criminals became fewer and fewer, but Leylin's demand only continued to increase. So now, he could no longer fulfill Leylin's request.
"As you know," continued Viscount Jackson while Leylin thought hard, "I am only a City Lord. My nation's status is only the status of a Viscount. For an individual's death sentence, I might still be able to decide. However, after exceeding a certain limit, I have no choice in this matter. After all, there are still laws governing the rank of a duke .. ”
Viscount Jackson waved his hand, and his eyes flickered, "Unless there is a war going on right now, if 50 or 100 people disappear at once, it will definitely trigger the anger of the masses!"
"War!!!"
Viscount Jackson waved his hand, and his eyes flickered, "Unless there is a war going on right now, if 50 or 100 people disappear at once, it will definitely trigger the anger of the masses!"
"War!!!"
Leylin was startled, but soon his shocking appearance turned into a cold smile. This is a good opportunity to collect samples.
However, Viscount Jackson chose to mention it at this time, so it was highly likely that he had already thought of a plan.
"Regarding this, I ..." When Leylin wanted to talk more about the matter, his chest pouch suddenly shook when a 'caw' like a crow sounded. Soon Leylin's expression changed.
"Is something wrong?" Viscount Jackson asked with a 'worried' look'.
"That's …. That's fine; I've received news from a friend! "Leylin extended her hand to her chest, and the cawing stopped immediately. His face also continued his previous calm.
However, Leylin lost interest in speaking further. He hurriedly exchanged a few more words with Viscount Jackson before saying goodbye.
Even though something was bothering Viscount Jackson, seeing Leylin, who had become dazed towards the end, he still did not say what was on his mind.
After Leylin exited the castle, he jumped onto the horse carriage and rushed back to the castle.
“I actually received news from the academy at a time like this …. “According to the news, the war of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy has reached the peak of its intensity, where the winner and loser can be determined at any given moment.
Since Leylin was an aide sent on a mission, the academy had given him items with which they could contact him. There are also various items for contact purposes, with the effect of 'once-use', sent with it. This way, they can get the latest news from the school during critical times.
“Currently, the news given will most likely determine the winner and loser. The strength of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was limited, and there were two other factions of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy's forces opposing it, so the chances of winning were slim, "leylin's roar, so the chance of winning was slim, because he had a good understanding of the current state of the Abyssal Forest Bone Academy
"Unless some external factions have stepped forward to mediate, the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy will definitely take a huge loss this time, and may even result in being disbanded …. ”
Leylin carried a serious expression as he stepped into his secret lab.
Chapter 78
Settings
The shadow of the mahogany round table could be seen under the dim light of the lantern.
The four legs were elongated in projections and when projected on the wall, it looked like a ferocious beast with four limbs, making it seem ominous.
Leylin stood in front of the table, and his shadow also extended.
Many black scrolls were placed on the mahogany table. On the surface of each of the scrolls was a picture of a crow. At this moment, the crow seemed to have lived and gnawed continuously, issuing a sound that would frighten people.
"No matter what, I have to look at the contents!"
Leylin took the decision, "Even if it was a trap, which contained some sort of tracing spell inside, I still have enough time to escape!"
Even if that was the case, Leylin was still gripping the Trevor Shield – Revolution Potion that – had just brewed tightly in his hands.
Afterwards, in a solemn voice, Leylin spoke in Byron's language, "Open on behalf of Leylin Farlier!"
* Caw Caw Caw! * The black crow was crying, and his figure was spinning. Many black lines meet, forming an image of a black skull.
Leylin took the red crystal from his robe and threw it into the mouth of the skull.
* Crunch! The interest! * The black skull immediately flew out of the paper and devoured the red crystal.
* You! * After the meal, the black skull exploded, and the scroll shook violently. It began to burn at the bottom, where a green-colored flame was visible.
The greenish flames then formed many characters in the air.
Leylin's eyes shifted. This green character was a kind of secret code, which no outsider would understand. But he had learned the appropriate encryption and decryption in the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.
Under the green character there is a bright red stamp, with the honorable name written below it in Byron language. There was even a picture of a black snake crawling out of the skull.
"Even the chairman seal has appeared –-it looks like this news is not a fake!"
Leylin's expression became unstable after seeing the fluctuating character.
Some time later, after the fire finished burning, the green character disappeared into the air, leaving behind a pile of gray ash.
Leylin sighed and furrowed his brows.
"They actually sent the highest order of – asking all of his aides, who were working on missions outside, to immediately return to the academy!"
“In addition, they also set severe penalties. Those who do not make it back to the academy within 3 months, will soon be branded as traitors, and be subjected to execution of the academy's disciplinary team! ”
"I'm afraid I have to go back this time!" Leylin muttered.
As for whether it was a trap set up by the enemy, Leylin was not worried at all.
First of all, Leylin was only a lowly aide. The enemy will not go through exhausting means for him. Also, the chairman of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was a legendary figure. At the very least, he was a Rank 2 Magus. Even if the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was defeated, its personal seal would never land in the hands of the enemy.
“Academy Forest Abyssal Bone…. '' Leylin sighed and thought of Kroft, Bicky, Nyssa and the others, wondering how they were doing.
Earlier when Leylin made the hasty decision to leave, it was indeed a bit selfish. However, his strength was not even equated with the ants in front of the two academies, so he could not think of a better way.
"I never imagined that after 3 years, I would finally be back!"
Leylin suddenly ordered, "A. I'm Chip, give me my stats now! "
[Beep! Leylin Farlier, Level 3 Acolyte, Knight. Power: 3. 1, Agility: 3. 3, Vitality: 3. 7, Spiritual Strength: 13. 1, Magic Power: 13 – (Magic Power in synchronization with Spiritual Strength). Status: Healthy]
[Beep! Leylin Farlier, Level 3 Acolyte, Knight. Power: 3. 1, Agility: 3. 3, Vitality: 3. 7, Spiritual Strength: 13. 1, Magic Power: 13 – (Magic Power in synchronization with Spiritual Strength). Status: Healthy]
Over a year had passed, and the modified Azure Potion, even for Level 3 Acolyte, had a very beneficial effect. It managed to bring Leylin's Spiritual Strength up by 3 points.
However, his body's resistance to the medicine had reached its limit. Drinking more Azure Potions no longer had any effect.
Enhancing his Spiritual Strength for the next few years would not be possible for Leylin unless he would concoct a new type of Spiritual Force medicine.
"After Level 3 Acolyte, it will become the official Magus realm!" Leylin muttered, "Forward from Level 3 Acolyte to the official Magus, there will be a huge obstacle. The difficulty was much higher than the one rising from Level 2 to Level 3 Acolyte. ”
It seemed like all the factions in the Magus World were deliberately controlling the information regarding the official Magus. Even if Leylin paid a large amount of Magic Crystals, he would not be able to take much.
The previous terrifying incident that drove into Acolyte Level 3 suddenly appeared in Leylin's mind.
Leylin, too, had experienced the sinister consequences of advancing without prior knowledge. If it wasn't for A. I'm Chip, he'll die without leaving a corpse.
“Academy of Abyssal Bone Forest! I had to go back once and gain the knowledge to advance to the official Magus.
This was the only place where Leylin knew he could get information easier. As for the market and the others, they are really not worth considering.
The path of Magus will be covered with thorns. A single misstep will result in irreversible consequences.
Last time, Leylin took the risk and advanced to Level 3 Acolyte, but due to the lack of guidance from his academy and mentor, he could only rely on A. I'm Chip to simulate. In the end, he met with two unexpected situations. If it wasn't for A. My amazing chip ability, coupled with a bit of luck, Leylin would never be able to progress that easily, and that too without any side effects.
"Only that .. I should reconsider the arrangements for my subordinates!"
Leylin stroked his chin, "Perhaps, setting up a backup plan here would not be a bad idea .. ”
"Give me an order, I want to join the subordinates for dinner tonight!"
"Give me an order, I want to join the subordinates for dinner tonight!"
After exiting the secret lab, Leylin instructed Anna.
"Yes, Young Master!" Leylin was on the solitary side, and he usually left his day-to-day duties and trifled with Anna, Greem and the others, while he hid in the experimental laboratory all day. He also rarely left the house, so giving orders suddenly startled Anna. However, she was an intelligent woman, so she did not ask much. After bending over, she retreated while displaying her beautiful curves in front of Leylin.
In the castle, of course there is a fairly large hall that can accommodate the master to eat with his subordinates.
The hall was built with a large red stone, the windows were rather small, and sunlight could only illuminate the place. However, in the middle, a silver shelf with hundreds of lit candles solved the problem completely.
In the middle of the large hall, a long red table was placed. Officers and kitchen staff shifted the large chair with the backrest, which caused a shrill sound. They also placed a thick white cloth on the table, and arranged silver forks and spoons, plates and other cutting tools.
When it was time to eat, the table was already full of many delicious meals. In the middle there is roast lamb. Around the golden yellow barbecue meat, there were many purple and red fruits. It completes the combination of dishes and a seductive look.
Leylin immediately sat in the most respected position and looked at the group in front of him.
Soon, on Leylin's left and right sides, were Fraser and Greem respectively. As Knights and subordinates who followed Leylin from the start, their positions were naturally the highest. After that they were Old Welker housekeepers and the leader of the Roran Hawks Mercenary Group, Fayern.
As for Anna, she waited behind Leylin silently, like a devoted servant. However, everyone present did not dare to think that his status was only as a servant.
Everyone knew that Anna was well-liked by this Young Master. Not only could he see Leylin regularly, but he even held the key to the gold vault! It incited some, feeble grumbling from Old Welker, but Leylin did not care.
After Leylin bought the land here, Fayern moved his entire family, and turned into a loyal and honest subordinate of Leylin.
After that was the Roran Hawks Mercenary Group. The contract with them was due not too long ago. Half of the mercenaries continued to survive under the generous conditions Leylin provided.
Many others were seated at long tables, but Leylin was only familiar with these few people. The others only looked familiar to Leylin, but Leylin knew their faces and names, which he could remember by relying on the letter A. I'm Chip.
Leylin never cared about the trivial matters of regular living. The path to becoming a Magus had already consumed a huge amount of his concentration. He was completely unable to allocate his concentration to other things.
Of course, Leylin's behavior was similar to that of many witches. It also matched what ordinary humans expected from witches.

Of course, Leylin's behavior was similar to that of many witches. It also matched what ordinary humans expected from witches.
In the hearts of everyone on the South Coast, witches were a group of people who possessed mysterious powers, but they were very alone. They often live in dark forests or hidden swamps. Only when they needed materials and other items would they leave their residences.
"Young master!"
The masses around the long table stood up and bowed.
* ding! * Leylin used a silver spoon and tapped on the glass in front of him, letting out a crisp sound.
"Everyone! By calling you all here today, is because I have something to announce to everyone! "Leylin's eyes swept across the crowd. Up until now, his Spiritual Strength had already reached 13.1, and the mysterious gaze of his eyes was astonishing; it was as if his eyes had been hewn from a supreme grade gem. Anyone he saw would experience a sharp pain in their eyes, and tears would involuntarily come out.
Even if it was Greem or Fraser, they could only lower their heads at this moment.
"Please give the order, Young Master!"
“I will be gone for a certain period of time, and there will be no set date to return. When I am not there, the drugstore and the daily items of the residence will all be decided by Anna, Greem and Fraser. ”
Leylin looked at the mass below him and said slowly.
"What?" A commotion arose, and soon the group whispered to each other, as they used strange gazes to look at the trio of Anna, Greem and Fraser.
Greem and Fraser can tolerate being the focus of many eyes. However, as a woman, Anna was somewhat agitated as she twisted and gripped her dress.
"Shut up!" Leylin knocked on the silver glass again, and the crowd fell silent.
“From today onwards, the words from them will be the same as my words. Every decision they make must be fully adhered to and done by you. ”
"We obey!" Although Leylin usually did not bother himself with many things, the imposing aura coming from him was enormous. There were also rumors circulating that he was part of a Mysterious Entity, which made his subordinates' respect for him even greater.
Chapter 79
Tidying
"Anna, Greem, Fraser, you three came to my study together after dinner!"
Seeing that his subordinates had no objections, Leylin nodded and said, "For now, everyone please have some fun yourself!"
The group nodded their heads, returned to their positions, and sat down. The sound of the clang cutting tool continued to be heard.
Ever since Leylin had issued his orders, the hall was much quieter than before. Although the dinner was lavish, the masses seemed to have something weighing on their hearts.
After dinner, Leylin receives a trio who know the identity of his witch.
Greem and Fraser were wearing leather suits, which looked very admirable. Anna was still wearing a low-cut blouse, and looked even more seductive.
“You know I'm a witch. Right now, I'm about to embark on a journey, and for some reason, I can only hold you here …. ”
Leylin sat behind the table, speaking solemnly to the three of them.
“Principle outside before just for others to see it. From now onward, Greem and Fraser, you should treat Anna the same way you treated me, do you understand?
"We understand!" Greem and Fraser nodded their heads. Compared to the others, they knew how terrifying this master of theirs was and did not mind Leylin's orders.
After sending Greem and Fraser away, the room was only left with Anna and Leylin.
"Young ... Young Master!" Tears flowed in Anna's eyes.
"The essence of the Mandara Flower on your body, I've made an antidote for it. Also, take this! '' Towards a woman herself, Leylin was much more gentle.
Saying so, Leylin handed some potions and parchment paper to Anna.
"This is… . ”Anna opened the parchment paper to look at it, and she became startled.
“This is a letter of authority. You will manage all my companies in Extreme Night City. Moreover, if I don't return in ten years, all of this will be transferred to your name! "
Leylin crossed his fingers, "Furthermore, Murphy and Viscount Jackson are witnesses of this procedure! If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask for their help! ”
This worldly treasure, Leylin could have as much as he wanted. Naturally he would not mind giving it to Anna as a backup plan for himself.
Moreover, even if he was wrong to play this chess piece, there was not much to regret.
After all, right now, Leylin was only an acolyte in the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. According to the rules of the academy, his aides were not allowed to bring their followers or servants to the academy complex.
Since these were things that he eventually had to let go of, naturally, Leylin's heart didn't hurt for them.
“Also, this is a desert scorpion sting, which is a special tool used to control Greem and Fraser. You have to take good care of them …. ”
Leylin handed Anna the red box.
"No!" Anna bit her lips, before finally pouncing forward and hugging Leylin's two legs. “Young Master, don't kick Anna out! Anna wants to be by Young Master's side no matter what she has to do, okay? ”
The young lady held Leylin's feet and tears as bright as pearls escaped her beautiful face.
His warm and slightly trembling body wrapped around Leylin's feet. One could see that Anna had gathered incredible courage to speak these words.
Leylin looked at Anna with a gentle touch in his eyes. He stretched out his right hand and stroked the young woman's hair and back.
"I'm so sorry Anna. The place I have to visit is very dangerous for you …. ”
"But …. Anna raised her tear-filled face as if she wanted to say something.
"Don't mess around, listen up!" Suddenly, Leylin's face hardened.
Seeing his master acting this way, the ingrained pain and suffering from disobeying the master's orders surfaced in his mind. After all, Anna had undergone slave training. Although this was the method of the slave traders, it was engraved directly into Anna's own soul.
"Yes, Young Master!" Anna stopped crying and kept the scroll and the box. He only looked at Leylin, just like the cat that had been abandoned by its owner.
"Yes, Young Master!" Anna stopped crying and kept the scroll and the box. He only looked at Leylin, just like the cat that had been abandoned by its owner.
Seeing the girl acting like this, Leylin pulled some potions from his robe and handed them to her. After all, he was not a stone-hearted person.
“It's recovery potion, which can quickly heal physical wounds. Take good care of this! "
“Also, this purple herb is an attack type herb. If one day you come across a danger that neither Greem nor Fraser can handle, throw this at it. Do you understand me?"
Leylin pointed at the purple potion and instructed Anna.
"Anna understands!" Her eyes are red. He knew that he could not break his master's orders, so he guarded the potion well.
"Sighs… . ”
Seeing his figure that was leaving, Leylin sighed suddenly.
Although he had made a lot of preparations, he knew that after a strange dozen years, this faction he had left behind would easily disappear into thin air.
However, he has no regrets. These were all ordinary humans with no talent to become magicians. They will be used limited to him in the future.
Most likely, the only use of this small faction for him was to act as a cover for him to hide from people, and even then, it was completely unsafe.
In the end, entrusting everything to Anna was not a bad choice.
Apart from the essence of the Mandara Flower on Anna's body, all other restrictions on Anna's body had been removed by Leylin. From now on, Anna will become a free man.
"I hope that after having these things, you will be able to live a happier life!"
Leylin's eyes were illegible.
If Anna were to land in the hands of another witch, she would at least become a tool for them to vent their pent-up energy. Once their interest waned, he might very well be used in the experiment. Now that Anna had followed Leylin, not only was she free from her status as a slave, Leylin even saved her from the Mandara Flower essence poison. He had even given her a noble house and a medicinal shop, so no matter what happened next, she would be free from any mistakes! "
“The troublesome issue has all been resolved. What was left was to finally dispose of the experimental lab and the underground cells thoroughly! "
“The troublesome issue has all been resolved. What was left was to finally dispose of the experimental lab and the underground cells thoroughly! "
Leylin thought and got up to go underground.
This was the forbidden area he had demarcated. Anna and the two Knights would not dare to come here so easily.
Under the dim light from the torch, Leylin pulled the crystal ball. The figure of an old man could be seen in it. His expression was crazy, and there was even terror in it.
"We meet again, Mr. Roman!" Leylin smiled and saluted. However, in Roman's eyes, this smile was more terrifying than that of a demon.
"Don't .. don't come!" Roman's expression twisted, and he fearfully retreated to the crystal ball wall behind him.
However, Leylin's acute senses chose the resolution behind the frightened expression of the vengeful spirit.
"Let me tell you the good news, and the bad news!"
Leylin was adept at placing many tools beside the crystal ball, and letting the vengeful spirit let out ear-piercing screams as he spoke.
"The good news is that I'll be out of here for a minute!" Before the vengeful spirit responded, Leylin smiled and said, "And the bad news is that no matter where I go, you will go with me ! ”
"Oh! Nah! Nah! I beg you …. ”
"Good! So tell me everything you know! ”
At first, the Romans would naturally not speak anything. But after more than a year of torture, he had already started to divulge some information.
After the narrative of the vengeful spirit, Leylin shook his head. “Looks like Mr. Roman is still keeping wishful thinking, so let's move on…. ”
Following Leylin's statement, numerous shouts that filled the hair filled the lab, as if one's howls were right before their death.
Although this vengeful spirit had shown signs of mental disorder half a month ago, it still managed to provide Leylin with misleading information regarding the secrets he knew.
This vengeful spirit provided a lot of information at once, and it was extremely complicated. However, with A. I'm Chip, Leylin is able to record all his narratives quickly, and sort them systematically.
The next few times, he found trouble.
This vengeful spirit provided a lot of information at once, and it was extremely complicated. However, with A. I'm Chip, Leylin is able to record all his narratives quickly, and sort them systematically.
The next few times, he found trouble.
Against matters relating to more general and general knowledge, Roman always handed it over easily. However, to important and secret points, Roman sneaks above them and hides a lot of important information.
However, Leylin did not mind at all. It will give you a lot of information every day. Along with filtering and sorting A. I'm Chip, he'll still get a lot of information.
Moreover, with continuous and prolonged torture and interrogation, Leylin believed that one day, this vengeful spirit would tell him everything, and pray for a quick death.
After the daily routine of 'interrogation' was over, Leylin went to another room underground.
Here, various blood-stained torture instruments were hung along the walls. On the floor, there were even some corpses with wounds strewn across their bodies, causing them to be barely visible as human bodies.
[Beep! The density of the surrounding negative energy was higher by 34.5%, which met the most basic conditions for the existence of the spirit body. The physical body of the target has been subjected to various sufferings and torments. Chances of the spirit body appear: 1. 23%]
An . I Chip scanned some bodies and reported the numbers.
"Compared to the chance of a thousandth of a spirit body being formed naturally, this proportion could already be considered extremely high!" Leylin stroked his chin, "If I were given more time, I would definitely be able to induce the formation of an artificial spirit body! "
The most efficient way to conduct research on the soul is through the use of the spirit body. This established theory was openly accepted by all Dark Magi.
What Leylin had to do now was to constantly simulate the conditions of the outside world, and encourage the formation of an artificial spirit body!
If this news were to leak out, Leylin's reputation would be entirely linked to savagery and cruelty, which would have adverse effects on his future development.
“Reputation is also a kind of benefit! Although I was not afraid of the way people looked at me, even Magi wanted to get in touch with those who were reputable, but not anyone with a reputation was dredged.
Leylin inhaled air and sprinkled power on the corpse.
With a hissing sound, the corpses turned into yellow pus after being corroded, and soon, they disappeared.
"Although I ended up stopping my experiment, which was rather unfortunate, it doesn't mean I haven't gotten any results yet!" Leylin comforted himself, "At least, regarding the Academy Academy Academy's final move, spirit awakening, I've obtained enough data! "
As for the other ancient herb formula, Tears of Mary, Leylin still had not found any clues about it.
Chapter 80
Returnees
In Extreme Night City, recently there was a problem that neither big nor small occurred. This turned into a topic of empty conversation discussed by commoners after lunch.
Mister Leylin, the heir to the nobility who had lived in the city for three years and Viscount Jackson and good friend of Scholar Murphy, temporarily left Extreme Night City.
Before he left, he actually handed the manor and the drugstore to the maid, a maid, to handle the escape.
To the nobles, even though they would often vent their pent-up energy on their servants, they would never hand over such an important and such company to them because of this action.
After all, to them, servants were like toys, which could be changed or left behind at any time. As for the establishment and the land, they will often be the legacy of the heirs, and are the roots for the growth of the family's sustainable development.
By doing this, Leylin had turned into a joke in front of the other nobles. His reputation not only contained a lazy and kind-hearted person, but also extended to a mud-headed trademark.
However, to the surprise of many, the servant, with the help of the two Knights, immediately made the rest of Leylin's faction submit to him. At the same time, Viscount Jackson City Lord and Murphy stepped in personally to express their support for the maid, allowing her to act on Leylin's behalf with her company.
After taking over Leylin's establishment, Anna dedicated herself to managing them and doing so neatly and neatly. Not only did Leylin's establishment in Extreme Night City not fail as the other nobles predicted, it also continued to expand, which made many nobles fall from their seats.
However, all of these things had nothing to do with Leylin. At this moment, he had long since left Extreme Night City.
* Squeeze Ranges! *
The sky turned dark, and droplets of rain the size of beans fell on the ground, triggering countless sparks.
* Buk Buk Buk Buk! * The dark and handsome horse continued to run along the road, and the scenery on both sides hurriedly retreated. Rainwater fell onto the body of a Knight, but was blocked by raincoats.
At midnight, the rain stopped, and the Knight sought refuge in a cave.
A warm and bright fire illuminated the cave. A steel frying pan hung over the campfire, and a white mushroom broth with a boiling fragrant aroma. From time to time, several pieces of beef jerky floated to the surface.
The Knight took off his coat, revealing a young face with hair and brown eyes that glittered like jewels.
This person was Leylin. At this time, he drank some mushroom soup, while taking out a map from A. I'm Chip.
"After two months of continuous travel, I will finally arrive at the academy!"
Leylin looked at the destination on the map. Complicated expression. Previously, if not for him constantly changing his route and going to other markets to sell his potions, he would not have rushed over, and the journey would have been very easy.
However, with such a fast journey, he had suffered a lot.
After living like a king for the past 3 years, Leylin had gotten used to the luxurious life of a noble, and was barely able to adapt to his current situation.
“However, I have finally arrived. According to the map, I will arrive at the academy after three more days! ”
"I never thought that a third party would actually intervene, and make the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy and the other two factions reach a truce agreement!"
Given the news he had heard from the market in the past few days, Leylin was still somewhat in disbelief.
According to the news, with the pincer attacks from Sage Gotham's Hut and Whitewoods Castle, the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy should be in a dangerous situation. Even the defensive spell formation of the academy headquarters was half broken and nearly broke.
However, in the end, it was unknown what method the chairman of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy used. He actually managed to ask for help from the Night Lighthouse.
The Night Lighthouse is one of the best organizations on the South Coast. Its leader was rumored to possess the power of a Rank 3 Magus.
The Night Lighthouse is one of the best organizations on the South Coast. Its leader was rumored to possess the power of a Rank 3 Magus.
Under the powerful mediation of the Night Lighthouse, the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy finally managed to escape from the dangerous situation, finally reaching an agreement between the two competing factions.
Leylin was not someone who would immediately respond when he was asked to return to the academy. Along the way, he was always looking for news. Only when he was completely convinced that the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was liberated from the war, and that the withdrawal of its aides was not a trap, did he decide to return to the academy.
“With this distance, I can already start the communicative method that the mentor showed me earlier! It is best to first discern the truth! "
Leylin's face turned solemn, and he pulled a pink-colored potion from his robe.
After removing the plug, he used the pink colored potion to draw the mysterious runes on the ground. It was cursive and winding, like a worm.
* sssii! * Pink smoke rises into the air continuously, before finally turning into a large pink ear shape.
"Who is this? This wave of energy? ”By the ear, Kroft's voice is audible, carrying many other static sounds.
"It's me! The professor! "Leylin spoke softly.
"This sound! This Spiritual Strength Wave! You are Leylin! You really have become a Level 3 Acolyte! ”Neck can be heard in Kroft's voice.
For a third-rate aide, if they wanted to advance from Level 2 Acolyte to Level 3 Acolyte, it would often take at least 5 years to construct mind runes and strengthen the sea of consciousness.
However, Leylin had only spent 3 years to advance to Level 3 Acolyte, which shocked Kroft.
"You're only 17 this year, yet you've entered the Acolyte realm of Level 3!" Kroft's voice, which was normally stable, carried a trace of excitement within it, "Acolyte who was Level 3 before the age of 20 often had an enormous chance of advancing to the official Magus. However, the number of aides was extremely rare. Even your senior, Merlin, only rose to Level 3 Acolyte when he was 21.
If Kroft knew that Leylin had risen to Level 3 Acolyte just 1 year after he left the academy, he might immediately label him as a genius!
If Kroft knew that Leylin had risen to Level 3 Acolyte just 1 year after he left the academy, he might immediately label him as a genius!
However, striking it rich secretly had always been Leylin's norm in handling his affairs. Towards his mentor's astonishment, Leylin simply bowed and said, "I was just lucky, and found a rare Empty Flower …. ”
Void flowers are a mysterious plant. Its petals were purple in color, and if a magician were to lift it, it would be an extremely powerful stimulant against the Witch's Spiritual Strength. The most important point was that the laws of reproduction of Void Flowers were strange.they could appear at just any place on the continent. There have even been cases where witches found traces of this plant on the seabed or in volcanic pits.
Moreover, Void Flower had special attributes. Once the petals were plucked, the entire stalk would immediately burn, leaving no trace.
Naturally, this was the reason Leylin had thought of for a long time. Through A. My Data Collection Chip from various mysterious plants, he had already prepared this reason as the reason for his progress.
It was unlike no other Level 2 Acolytes that had used the Void Flower to rise to Level 3 Acolyte before.
"Void Flower?" Croft shock is delivered through the ear. "A very precious witch power source can also be found by you .. It is a top grade material where one flower petal is worth several thousand Magic Crystals …. It can even help a magician in advancing …. ”
However, it was extremely difficult to predict luck in this world. After holding on to his statement that Void Flower was indeed depleted, Kroft had no choice but to believe it.
What followed was that the mentors and students talked about Leylin's recent travel experiences. When Kroft learns that Leylin has successfully completed a mission from the academy, he congratulates.
Towards the end, Leylin asked in a serious tone, "Professor, regarding the recall of the aides in the academy …. . ”
Why didn't he ask the academy directly, of course, because he was afraid that it would become a trap. It might be very good that the chairman of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy had some other plans, and might be ready to sacrifice a group of aides.
“…. “Kroft remained silent on the other side of the communication spell, before finally speaking again some time later.
“The withdrawal of acolytes, this time, has indeed been approved by the chairman and the board of directors. I can assure you that there are no lies in withdrawal, but …. ”
Leylin hesitated and held his breath, afraid of disturbing his mentor.
“Initially, if you were still a Level 2 Acolyte, I would most likely not approve of you returning to the academy. However, now that you are a Level 3 Acolyte, things have become different. Let me ask, do you want to advance to the official Magus? "
Leylin hesitated and held his breath, afraid of disturbing his mentor.
“Initially, if you were still a Level 2 Acolyte, I would most likely not approve of you returning to the academy. However, now that you are a Level 3 Acolyte, things have become different. Let me ask, do you want to advance to the official Magus? "
Suddenly Kroft asked.
“Magus Rating 1. This is often the starting point for a Magus who pursues the truth. I definitely want to move forward! "Low Leylin sound.
“If that's the case, then come back! When you're here, I'll tell you everything! Not much time now …. "The "pink ears trembled and instantly exploded, turning into a huge cloud of smoke as it disappeared into the air.
In the empty cave, Kroft's voice finally echoed for the last time, “Heed my words! These opportunities are extremely rare but also come with dangers. If you want to walk further down the path of Magus, then hurry back! "
Leylin looked at the smoke that was gradually disappearing and muttered to himself.
Through long-distance communication with Kroft today, despite his short time, Leylin was able to understand the circumstances within the academy.
From this, he knew that the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy did indeed free himself from danger but the war seemed to still be going on. This was why the academy forcefully pulled back its aides.
In addition, opportunities often come along with risk. Looking at Kroft's opinion, it seemed like many opportunities would be waiting for him if he came back. It was even related to the progress that Leylin had to undergo in the future.
"Good official!"
Leylin walked towards the entrance of the cave, and looked at the bowed sky and the sound of rushing torrential rain, sighing.
These few days, other than making haste, he had done nothing but go to some magician market to take a look. However, no matter how many Magic Crystals he wanted to separate, the market never contained any information relating to the progress of the official Magus. Moreover, no one even sold a method to obtain such information.
Seeing that, it was as if an invisible large hand had directly transported all the information regarding the Magi officially away, not letting anyone else know.
"To be able to monopolize the information in such a way, it must be supported by, at least, the majority of magicians in large organizations and factions on the South Coast …
