Puma City
Wild Sun Divine Inn,
After taking care of a bit of small skirmish and unsuccessful foolish attempts at burglary, The travel trip continued till night as Leylin, Blair and Sheshnaag finally reached the Puma City. Because of their late arrival hours, they decided to take some rest and immediately found the most luxurious and top notch inn to stay in.
They were received rather well because of a generous tip offered to the city gate official.
The place they chose to stay in was the Wild Sun Divine inn, Leylin booked three separate rooms paying an outstanding 100 Aura Crystals per person, but if one were to take the services provided into consideration along with extremely delicious food then it's seems worth it.
Right now Leylin retired to his seperate room and assumed a relaxed position on the couch. He began to read some data compilations of his A.I.Chip interface as it seemed he is waiting for someone.
Suddenly a small breeze blowed in the inn, as the night became even more silent. A suspicious cloaked figure enter the inn surprisingly without altering the Inn guards and guests. The person was a fairly tall figure wrapped in blackish red clothing with a unidentifiable token buckled around the waist.
The person discreetly entered Leylin's room and saw him sitting with a relaxed expression on his face, it seemed as though Leylin could see right through him.
The man uncontrollably shivered even though he knew that he was in no risk of being attack, out of instinct, he immediately kneeled on his one right knee, placing his right palm on his left patella. He bowed his head respectfully and whispered, "Tucker greets the Vice-Commander! "
Leylin looked at the new comer and squinted his eyes slightly, " Are you here with the report, Tucker? "
"Yes sir, I was tasked with that, along with passing on your other assignment as well. " The guy named Tucker remained bowed as he withdraw two parchment from his spatial tool. This spatial tool seemed like a Middle-grade Spatial artifact, it seemed that this guy was not a simple messenger.
Tucker respectfully placed the parchment on the table just before the couch on which Leylin was sitting. Leylin motioned with his finger slightly in the air, and the parchment magically flied and appeared in his hand.
He looked at the scroll and saw a crayon symbol etched on it like a wax seal stamp. The symbol was something he was very familiar with, It was a giant wearing a golden crown inside a silver triangle. This is the symbol of the prestigious and mysterious Church of Leviathan.
Back when Leylin took Blair under his wing, he was contacted subtly by the church. They asked him to join their Church and offered him humongous benefits, great resources, access to a tier of their library and many others. Most surprisingly, the restrictions invoked by the church on it's members was also were relaxed.
It didn't took much thinking before Leylin accepted the offer from them, obviously he did so with a good contingency plan.
At this point, after working in the Church for almost 5 years, Leylin could safely say it was a worth while choice in his part. Till now he has received great benefits and in return he has the obligation to complete certain task assigned by them. These task are very centered on the actual ability of the participants and they are very reasonable. Leylin did a total of only 3 task in a period of 5 years, In his evaluation he has made quite a name for himself and each task completion lead to one promotion after another.
Leylin could see that the Church only wanted to rope him in, they appreciate and valued his talent very much and all this was a type of facade to keep him happy and also test him.
Surely Leylin knew and caught onto this very quickly but he didn't care, in fact he quite liked the preferred treatment.
Being a very cautious individual Leylin only showed a portion of his strength, with ability matching that of a Colonel Stage Beast Tamer equivalent of a Peak Rank 2 Magus. Currently Leylin hold the position of the Vice-Commander of the 'Order of the Death' .
He could be considered as one of the highest official in the church but due to his lack of interest in administration he can be classified as a Fighting Personnel. His political strength and reach in the group isn't much but he doesn't have any useless obligation either. In simpler terms he could be classified as a heir to become piller of strength later on. Obviously he has to earn a lot of merits and trust before he is actually picked as a core talent to nurture.
In the church there is a total of eight orders, namely Inferno, Gale, Terra, Luminon, Aqua, Messer, Life and Death.
The strongest person in each Order of the church holds the title of the Commander and the fascinating fact is that most of them are at Initial Brigadier Level (Rank 3) and above, and few who aren't are just too young to be one, they don't lack talent but just enough time to reach that level.
One of such commander is called the 'Dark Knight' Damien Blood, who is none other than the Commander of the Order of Death, the branch that Leylin is a part off.
These Orders then comes under and serve the Three Saint Popes of the Church, the strongest and the most revered group in the whole organization.
Leylin found out that one of these Pope actually supports him and it was someone under that Pope who decided to recruit him. This is the reason why no one complaints about his preferential treatment from the church.
Leylin is one of the rising stars of the organization and he has a very promising future ahead of him and he is also for some odd reason supported by the top hegemon too.
"Talor, Dernn, Greg, Resmod Families these are all the great families of Felineca empire that where exterminated during the purge." Leylin read the first report explaining the happenings of the Felineca Empire, as soon as he read the first paragraph he lost all intrest and threw it aside.
"I don't really care about the empire, this is just a part of my past which has lost all it's luster and appeal. Just make sure that 'she' is properly taken care off. "
"Please be sure Sir, our men are already acting as her protector, and we have the whole situation under control. Trust me, there isn't anyone in any Empire who has the ability to hurt her. Miss Lita would be safe as per you order, in fact she is very talented and actually somehow manipulated her way to become the puppeteer behind the scenes." Tucker showed extream carefulness in his choice of word as he informed Leylin that Lita is sure to be protected.
Leylin nodded and turned his attention to the other scroll, he immediately opened it and began to read it, his expression become very serious as he continued to read, he frowned slightly too as he finished. As soon as he was done reading it he burned the scroll.
"It's quite a tall order, this is very risky! " Leylin spoke as a glit appeared in his eyes, He had a gut feeling that the church won't ask something so risky without any rewards, so this fellow must definitely have something interesting to say.
"Sir, as you know this matter is of great importance, even the Dark Commander is taking part in this mission with you, the main task falls under him, you just have to control the situation and make sure nothing out of scope happens. But we are aware of the risk involved so this is a small token of the Orders appreciation towards you! " Tucker summoned a bag from his ring and respectfully placed it on the table, Leylin picked it out and opened it.
Leylin's eyes shined with great brilliance as he saw the content, " The Church sure knows how to keep the people happy, This is a very generous award. I accept the mission but obviously some amendments needs to made as I want things to go well. "
"Surely! please be sure we give great emphasis to your talent and planning ability and we won't interfere with your way of doing things at all. You have the Order's sincerest appreciation Sir. I would lead you to the rendezvous point after a week. " Tucker smiled presently and made himself scarce seeing how Leylin was more interested in the contents of the bag.
"A spirit aura gathering formation, Spirit core of a corrosive Lizard, and Purple Leaf Snake-scaled Fruit." Leylin extended his slender fingers, looking through these items once more.
These are actually the reagent used to stimulate the progression of a warlock into the Vapour state of the Rank 3 Magus. Leylin has been looking for them for quite some time and he made sure that Church knew about his desire to procure them. At last as he predicated they somehow managed to grab a hold of these ingredients and used them as a bargaining chip for him to take the task and also to please him.
The A.I. Chip cooperated with a scan, and then relayed the news that there was no mistake.
"Fantastic! With this I can finally reach Vapour State! " Leylin muttered, as excitement filled his heart, since he has came to this world, it's the first time he is going to actually advance further in his magus path.
All those years of continuously finding ways to recover and counter suppression has stunt his growth.
Even though for 5 years now, he has been getting stronger using mediation he just couldn't surpass his realm and reach Vapour state but today Leylin has finally acquired the necessary things to actually take a step further into his Warlock path.
Leylin felt a gnawing feeling which made him feel likethat every year when he wasn't improving, he was actually regressing.
Leylin cleared his mind and sat cross-legged at the heart of the spell formation. With a flick of his hand, two pieces of pure aura and magic crystal essence entered the groove in the spell formation.
The spell formation trembled, and the runes within began to undulate violently.
[Host body beginning attempt to break through the bottleneck of the Vapour Phase. Beginning real time monitoring] The A.I. Chip's robotic voice followed soon after.
