Chapter 21: Chapter 20
On the top of a cliff.
A few red flashes of lightning formed, taking the form of a spell formation.
An illusory image slowly turned into real substance among the lightning and landed on the cliff.
"I am finally out!"
Leylin looked at the void which was constantly emitting energy waves, his expression resolute.
This was the influence of a secret plane self-destructing in the main world. It was extremely weak and extremely difficult to discover.
However, Leylin was clear that the Dylan Gardens, and everything inside it was now wiped off from the face of this world.
Leylin looked down at the energy wave of the void which was slowly vanishing, and he felt a great pity about it.
" This plane could have been a great hideout "
*sigh*
"Let's go " Leylin commanded the Knights and left the premises.He has ordered Anna before coming to prepare a carriage in the outskirts of Zither Moon Mountain.
Leylin touched the sturdy black book in front of him.
"Book of Giant Serpent!"
It was just something the great Magus Serholm placed outside to conceal the high-grade meditation technique inside the oil painting, its price was still extremely precious.
On the Book of Giant Serpent, there were the travel notes of the great Magus Serholm with the drawings of a few precious items, which could enhance Leylin's knowledge.
Moreover, many experiments were also explicitly stated in detail, which allowed Leylin to benefit from it.
However, the most precious in the Book of Giant Serpent was the 12 rank 1 spell models and 3 rank 2 spell models! All these were items that the various guilds and magisterium in the south coast tried to get their hands on. They were something that magic crystals could not buy.
He has gained many Darkness Crystals and Bloodline crystals that can help him to reach Rank 2 quickly. He has gained many Inscription and potion formula increasing his Rune and alchemy knowledge.
High-grade meditation technique, was finally obtained.
Soon, after coming down, Leylin saw his two servants, Gleen and Fraser waiting beside a carriage.
"Young Master " Both Gleen and Fraser come near and bow down.
" Upload the items into the carriage " Leylin look behind him and commanded the Slaves. They got to work and meticulously loaded the Herbs and Material from Black Horrall snake corpse.
"Have everything been settled" Leylin asked Glenn.
" Yes, Young Master. The villa has been procured discreetly and all the necessary arrangements has been made. We settled everything as per Master's command " Gleen said kneeling on the ground.
Leylin merely nodded, He them looked at the 3 Slaves doing their work and remember he never gave any names to them. He from the begining viewed them as Canon fodder so he never bothered.
' I should give them some reward' Leylin thought.
" Come here, you three" He commanded. All the knight lined up before him kneeling on the cold ground.
"You have served me well, from now on your names will be Freed, Garvin and Dexter "
Leylin didn't gave any boring peep talk. He pointed out to them one after another. He gave the name 'Dexter' to The Grand Knight.
" From now on, you are my servant and I will take care you. "
"Thank you, Master" Freed, Garvin and Dexter kowtow before him and kissed his feet.
" Glenn take care of them, you are the Head Knight from now "
" Master, Thank you for giving me such a responsibility, I will not disappoint you " Glenn bowed down.
Leylin went and sat on the front seat of the carriage, waiting for the Knights to be done.Leylin has decided to take these men in and increase their strength further, He is very interested In The way of Branded Swordsman .
'From the Dylan Gardens, I have picked quite an interesting book about inscriptions, now I need to just see what this Branded Swordsman is about! '
....
In a small villa in the outskirts of Zither moon Town, Few Guards were practicing sword arts and a serenity was present in the Compounds.
No can tell that inside this Villa, a Underground construction is built, where in a secluded area a handsome youth was taking a bath in side a pool.
The odd thing was that the Water in which he was soaking was Blood Red in colour and there was a painful expression on the youth face.
The youth is Leylin, He just returned from his extraction from Inheritance grounds 5 days ago.
"Master...! " A soft and agonized voice came from behind.
Leylin looked behind him and Anna was standing there, staring at him with tears in her eyes.
" Don't come here! I am fine " Leylin slowly muttered.
" But.. Mas... "Anna tried to retort.
" Shut up! " Leylin roared and a suffocating pressure was released In whole of the compound.
Anna whole body started to shake and blood oozed from her nose, Even All the Knights practicing showed a fearful expression.
Leylin retreated his Pressure and looked at Anna with an regretful gaze.
Anna saw that and quickly wiped her blood and bowed.
" Punish me Master , I have spoke out of bounds " Anna apologized.
" No... it's okay " Leylin waved his hand and looked at her again.
Since A. I. Chip has concluded some research in usage of 'Sentient force'. It also analyzed that there has been a lapse in his conclusion about it, and because of the Primitive way of 'Sentient Force' pouring in his body previously, unutilized and useless residues has also accumulated .
Although its not a big deal for now, it may play a role in the long term and effect his advancement and since Leylin has to wait 3-4 months till returning to Academy he decided to add this to his list of agendas..
Right now, Leylin totally focussed in only two things, First establish Proper Restriction to ensure no one trespass his Villa and Second to Purify himself of all the accumulated dregs.
As of today he started to take a herbal bath in a mixture of lots of herbs he extracted as well as some Bloodline Crystals.
A. I. Chip has concluded that he has to take about 8 baths to both reinforce and Enhance himself, After the treatment he can achieve another power up, but this time it will refine his Body itself and can purify his dantain Quality by one level.
' I can take about 1 bath each week ' Leylin looked at the Blood red pool of herbs and felt a little pain in his heart. ' Each bath is estimated to cost about 50000 Magic Crystals worth of Herbs '.
*Sigh*
' But it's worth it ' Leylin clenched his fist and felt great improvement in his physical strength. Leylin knows that a Warlock has a significant physical advantage against a normal Magus but he wants to take it a step further.
" Anna " Leylin asked again absent mindedly
" Yes Master "
" What do you think is strength " Leylin asked to her, not sure himself why he asked this question to her.
" Ahh.. " Anna was stunned for a moment, it took her a second to register this inquiry. Anna smiled and said " You are strength, Master "
Leylin looked at her with an odd look, and then shaked his head thinking a slave will not really have insight on such stuff.
" To me strength is you and as long as I have you, I will have a purpose to live and I know you will not let anyone hurt me " Anna said her piece believing it to be the Undisputed fact.
"Oh...why is that?" Leylin asked amused.
" Because you are kind and benevolent " Anna stated firmly.
" Hahaha " Leylin laughed loudly shaking all of the pool with his rhythm, He laughed and laughed and after some more he gradually calm down, still holding his stomach.
" Kind and Benevolent! Who the Fuck are you taking about idiot! If I am kind then the Magus are God Send Angels! hahahaha ... You think I will always protect you! Let me tell you something dear, if a strong person let's say a Rank 1 Magus comes to kill you, I will gladly hand you over to Dodge that kalpa" Leylin said Mockingly.
" That maybe so... But I know for sure that , such person will not have a good end either, You will not spare him! " Anna said with resolution.
Suddenly Leylin smile dropped, He looked at her staring at her beautiful face for quite some time and had a serious countenance.
Leylin waved his hand and dismissed her, but kept looking at her retreating back.
" She is more interesting than I thought " Leylin said to himself. Leylin knows that even though he has extended his stay with Anna, She is not someone with the talent to follow him in his journey, so he never bothered to know about her and took her as a tool.
Since Reincarnating Leylin has show no interest in interacting with anyone, since the beginning he has seen everyone as just chess pieces and him knowing how the future will unfold, just made him colder to the soon-to-be-dead or Useless people.
In his last life, he was not a very Talkative either but he still was not as conceited as he is now.
In his pursuit of strength and stability, he has casted away all vestiges of his being.
'Unknowingly from the beginning, I have become someone who is just walking in the foot steps of Feng Meng, just a mere duplicate with a cheat 'Leylin jaw clenched.
' Does this mean that if something doesn't go as in the novel or some different character appear who I don't know about, I should just clean my neck and offer it to them and be at their mercy. NOOO!'
*Boom*
Leylin swing his clenched fist into the floor, destroying the decorative mabels and shaking all of the room.
Leylin eyes were spouting fire and his body started to shake ' They way that Feng Meng lived, his ways, methods and the choices that he made were fruitful because the end result was his undeniable success and Undisputed strength, BUT NOW I AM LEYLIN FARLIER , I will do things on my term. I will live as I want, not in the fear of unknown or the smugness of knowing the future. I will walk a path that you never even thought about. '
Leylin is not sure why but This desire to create a new path and walk on it, Made his heart beat much faster than ever before. Maybe be it's the pain from staying in the medical pool or his arrogance or probably the success so far has got to his head no matter what it is, Leylin knows that even if he fails in his pursuit of this, he will not be regretful.
The continued tradition of the Magus World was only in recent times, for about 1000 years. Before this, there were even the glorified and magnificent ancient times of the past. Back in the ancient past, the primordial and immemorial past, there was a countless accumulation of time, yet how many from these periods were geniuses? How many had invented mysterious spells?
Only by standing on a giant's shoulder, one could see the road ahead clearly, strive hard and advance!
Even with the A.I. Chip, Leylin only had a better foundation than other magicians. On the path of a Magus, he still required to rely on the experiences of his predecessors and improve both himself and his abilities.
