บท 4: Laylen's Cultivation
บรรณาธิการ: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Magical beasts were split into seven classes to differentiate their strength, from class 1 to class 7.
They corresponded to the human race's seven tiers of magical cultivation.
Beast kings were class 4 and above.
After determining the type of poison in the mayor's body, Liszt looked quite anxious. He said in a low voice, "Young mayor, at least a tier 4 extinguishing fluid is needed to cure the mayor. I... I'm afraid there's nothing I could do about it."
When the surrounding imperial guards heard Liszt's words, their faces were filled with disappointment.
Could they only watch helplessly as their mayor dies from the poison?
Everyone was finding it hard to accept.
However, tier 4 extinguishing fluid required at least a level four apothecary to refine it. As for Liszt, he was merely level three.
"Are you talking about this?" Just as everyone was deeply disappointed, a sudden voice sounded.
Liszt turned his head to look at Laylen and saw that a tube of azure-colored liquid was lying quietly in his hand.
"This, this is..."
At the side, Liszt looked at the reagent in Laylen's hand in shock. He was ecstatic, but there was also a hint of disbelief.
The young mayor actually had tier 4 potions.
What the hell.
At the same time, Liszt's breathing started to quicken. He hurriedly shouted, "There! The cure for the mayor!"
When the surrounding guards heard this news, they were all extremely excited.
The mayor now could be cured.
Once the poison has been removed from the mayor's body, his strength would be back to its peak. The psychic power of a peak tier 4 advanced mage would envelop the entire Vader City. No one would dare to act recklessly.
In Vader City, the mayor had the strength of a peak tier 4 advanced mage. As the top fighter after the mayor, Creed only had the strength of an early-stage advanced tier 4 mage.
He had taken advantage of the fact that the mayor had been poisoned.
He might have even joined forces with outsiders to poison the mayor.
However, as long as the mayor could recover, everything would be fine.
The rebellious grand knight, the various powerful clans in the city, as well as the adventurers and mercenaries.
None of them could escape, and all of them would be punished.
"Administer it for my father," Laylen said calmly.
Liszt took the potion, opened Nelly's mouth, and poured the entire potion into his mouth.
"Liszt," at this moment, a voice came from outside the bedroom. Then, a breeze blew, and an old man with white hair and beard stood in the room.
The old man asked, "How is the mayor? Is the poison under control?"
The surrounding guards saluted when they saw the old man and said respectfully, "Greetings, formation master."
The person was called Evelyn and was a tier 4 formation master. The reason the mayor's mansion had not been taken over by the grand knight's troops was that it had a powerful tier 5 defensive magical formation.
And this magic array was created by Evelyn.
Liszt said excitedly, "The mayor is saved!"
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Evelyn's face also revealed an excited expression.
She had finally heard a piece of good news.
"Grandma Evelyn, after so many years, have you finally broken through to tier 5?" Laylen asked with a smile.
"So the young mayor has returned. Greetings, young mayor." Evelyn bowed to Laylen and then said, "My talent is limited. I'm afraid that I won't be able to break through to tier 5 in my lifetime."
At this time, Liszt said, "The young mayor has brought back tier 4 potion, which is just enough to cure the mayor's fire poison. In about three days, the mayor will be able to regain consciousness."
"What? Tier 4 potion?" Evelyn was moved, and then she glanced at Laylen.
A tier 4 potion was considered a rare item even in the Borodin Kingdom. It wasn't that it was difficult to refine, but the rarer the item, the more precious it was. Fire poison was rare in the north, and therefore its corresponding cure would be naturally rare as well, therefore, it wasn't strange that this tier 4 fluid could actually be sold for 100,000 gold coins.
Moreover, it was priceless.
Thinking of this, Liszt and Evelyn were very curious. What had the young mayor experienced in the past few years to be able to produce such a potion? It was really unexpected.
However, it was also fortunate that the young mayor, who had disappeared for a few years, returned in time. Otherwise, the mayor probably would not have been able to survive this ordeal.
The two old people were slightly shocked, and Evelyn asked, "Isn't the young mayor unable to cultivate magic? But yet you have already started cultivating. Forgive my poor eyesight, but I can't tell the young mayor's tier."
A few years ago, because the young mayor was unable to cultivate, he was forced by the mayor to learn the art of governance every day. As a result, the young mayor disappeared without a trace.
This disappearance lasted for six years. Everyone in Vader City thought that the young mayor had died.
Now that he had returned, she was shocked to find that she could not tell what tier he was at.
Evelyn and Liszt were both at the peak of Tier 3. Now that she could not see through the young mayor's tier, could it be that the young mayor's cultivation was even higher than theirs?
Understanding the two elders' doubts, Laylen smiled. He had cultivated very advanced concealment magic. Even a Tier 4 cultivator would not be able to see through his current cultivation, let alone the two of them.
Laylen smiled and said, "Right now, I'm at the peak of tier 3. I'm just one step away from stepping into tier 4."
As he said this, Laylen's body exploded with a powerful lifeblood power.
This aura caused the nearby imperial guards to feel suppressed.
Only when Laylen retracted his aura did they feel much better.
"I didn't expect the young mayor's talent to be so outstanding."
"In six years, he had cultivated from zero to the peak of tier 3. He's considered a rare talent even in the entire Borodin Kingdom."
Most of the children in this world started cultivating magic power at the age of six.
It was considered qualified to become a tier 1 warrior before the age of eighteen.
However, they did not forget that before the young mayor was 12 years old, he had never cultivated. In a short six years, he had gone from tier 1, a beginner, to the current peak of tier 3.
Three major tiers.
An average person might not even be able to do it in 18 years, much less six years.
To be able to advance one major tier in six years already required the cultivator to be an extremely talented genius.
Take, for example, the number one genius of Vader City, Ang Li, the son of Creed. He had started cultivating at the age of six and had been cultivating for 20 years. He was at the peak of tier 3 and was famous throughout the entire Borodin Kingdom.
However, the young mayor had cultivated for 12 years less than him and had also reached the same level of cultivation. The title of number one genius might have to be changed.
Just as the two of them were sighing, a deafening explosion suddenly came from outside. The sound was like thunder tearing through the sky, and it did not stop.
