“Anna has been raised by a merchant since childhood, and was eventually sold to Sir Dylan……”
“For a maid like her, it was naturally more convenient to groom her at a very young age. Moreover, she had to learn various knowledge, and grooming of etiquette. Only then would she deserve the fondness of those higher ups. Of course, she had to take some lessons in pleasing men. Anna looked at Leylin who was still shrouded in the cloak, unable to discern his countenance. However, based on the voice alone, deduced that it should belong to a younger person. She could not help but blush.
What lessons have you taken before? How much do you know about the Magi?”
“I have learnt and , but……but only some preparations of simple ingredients. Anna is not an acolyte. For experiments that require the use of energy particles, I am powerless in that area……My apologies, Young Master!” Anna’s fingers clenched her dress and seemed discomfited.
“That’s not bad at all.” Leylin was actually satisfied.
He had many secrets. Letting an outsider join his experiments was inappropriate. Helping him with basic preparations was already good enough.
If he wanted a Magus assistant, he or she must be at least acolyte level. This level of a slave is extremely expensive and was always riddled with problems too.
Although he did not see any in the slave market, Leylin knew that some other place in the market, there would be another slave market that specialised in selling acolytes as slaves.
After all, for many Dark Magi, it was only acolytes who could resist radiation, were to best subjects for their experiments.
As to sources of such acolyte slaves, they made use of war criminals or prisoners.
If Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was completely defeated, and the headquarters seized, then the fate of all the acolytes in the academy-apart from the ones backed by strong factions-will most likely end up as slaves.
As for people like Leylin who escaped earlier, he could only draw a clear line between himself and the academy in future. And take the four seas as his home, becoming a pitiable wanderer.
“Right now, I can only pray that the academy wins…… Even if they lose, I hope they don’t lose badly……” Leylin looked towards the west, his expression a little grim.
Seeing Young Master become pensive, Anna and Fraser bowed their heads too, not daring to utter a word.
With the noise of rolling wheels gradually getting closer, Leylin could see a Knight driving a horse carriage, the appearance seemed to be Greem.
The horse carriage was pitch black in colour and did not have much in the way of patterns on it. The merchants who sold the carriage did not know if Greem belonged to the nobility, so they did not dare inscribe on the carriage. However, it looked extremely sturdy. A couple of large black horses were pulling it, dashing rapidly towards Leylin.
“Young Master!” Greem got down the carriage, and handed the money purse back to Leylin with both hands, “The carriage cost……”
“No need for further discussion.” Leylin took it over, and then threw the money purse to Anna, “In the future you will deal with the finances, if there is not enough then ask me!”
“Yes, Young Master!’ Anna carefully kept the money purse.
In it were only a few gold coins used by normal humans. Leylin only required a little effort to get as much as he wanted. What he was concerned about were the magic crystals, the currency used in the Magus World.
It was a pity that even in the South Coastal Regions, magic crystals were in extremely high demand as currency. After visiting so many markets, Leylin could see shops exchange coins for magic crystals, but never the other way round.
These were his subordinates in the future. After thinking for a while, Leylin undid his hood. and revealed a dashing face. His appearance, however, was still in its slightly altered state.
“You will be my trusted aides in the future, so take a look at my true appearance!”
The reason why Leylin disguised himself was to buy and sell resources. Right now since all his potions were sold, he did not need a disguise. These people also had to meet Leylin daily, so they will definitely see his true appearance–so the sooner the better.
After Leylin removed the spell, the muscles of his face twitched, and returned back to his original youthful visage.
Seeing Anna and the rest nod their heads, Leylin commanded, “Let’s set off towards Eastwoods Province!”
Chapter 54 – Roran City
Roran City
On the wide road, a horse carriage rapidly sped by. In the driver’s seat sat two large guys wearing metallic armour and long swords. One look and people got the message that they were not to be messed with. Farmers in the vicinity scurried out of their way.
Inside the carriage, the smell of wood and lacquer mixed together and was somewhat unpleasant.
Leylin’s nose wrinkled as he caught a whiff of perfume. Seeing that Anna was blushing beside him, Leylin smiled and beckoned, “Come here!”
When she drew near, Leylin made her recline halfway, then lay his head on her chest.
His hands conveniently roved around Anna’s thighs. The thin cotton fabric could not hide her beauty. Leylin felt as if both his hands were touching a piece of warm and soft jade.
Savouring the softness he was leaning on, and hearing Anna’s panting, made Leylin feel extremely content. He sighed, closed both his eyes and stayed still.
He had had been feeling on edge lately, as he had to exercise prudence after every trade. This occupied a lot of Leylin’s thoughts. Now that he did not have to do so anymore, Leylin could finally take a break, and obtain ample time to rest. He even had two Knights to take care of the trouble.
Naturally, the two Knights would be sleeping outside, leaving the interior of the carriage to their master and the maid. Leylin was no gentleman. Moreover, Anna was also quite a beauty and excelled in that area. Idling away in the carriage, he naturally had already bedded her. There was even a faint trace of dark red blood on the cabin’s floor.
As a maid bought by Leylin, how could Anna resist her master? All along the journey, she served him wholeheartedly and tried various positions with him, which also satisfied a few of his fetishes.
“Thankfully I am a magician. I can use magical herbs and undergo meditation to continuously recover and increase my vitality. With the previous Leylin’s sad physique, I would most likely have aged prematurely……”
Leylin ordered mentally, “A.I. Chip, show me my stats!”
[Leylin Farlier, level 2 acolyte. Strength: 2.7, Agility: 2.8, Vitality: 3.0, Spiritual force: 4.6, Magical Power: 4.0. Status: Healthy]
“Four to five months have passed, and I persisted in meditation everyday. To think that there was only an increase of 0.2……” Leylin’s expression was a little unsightly, “I have to hurry to my destination and settle down to try brewing the ancient potions. Who knows when I will meet the requirements for advancing?”
All acolytes encounter a bottleneck when advancing to level 3. Even a fifth-grade acolyte like Jayden still requires years of training in order to breakthrough.
After analysing the conditions needed to advance, mastering the spells and brewing reactive elixirs became trivial. Only getting past the 7 spiritual force bottleneck remained baffling for countless genius acolytes. Even official Magi did not have good solutions to address this aspect of spiritual force cultivation. Only constant painstaking meditation had any effectiveness or maybe the use potions and the sort could be an alternative. The cost of these, unfortunately, could not be borne by the typical acolyte.
Right now Leylin too was stuck on the same spiritual force bottleneck.
“A.I. Chip! How is the analysis of the two potions? And what is the progress in deciphering Lowian’s Teachings?”
[Beep! Azure Potion analysis progress: 100%, Tears of Mary analysis progress: 78%, Lowian’s Teachings analysis progress: 63.7%] The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned.
“The Azure Potion has been fully analysed long ago. Unfortunately, the main ingredients are now completely extinct. Finding substitutes requires countless experiments. As for the Tears of Mary, it has been at 78% for 3 months now with no signs of progress at all. Could some crucial procedures be missing?
Leylin’s brows furrowed; the A.I. Chip’s processing ability was extremely powerful. The progress in analysing the ancient potion Tears of Mary analysis stagnated at 78%, which made Leylin rather surprised.
“These formulas that Professor Kroft gave me should be correct. If the A.I. Chip could not analyse them after all this time, it might have met with some difficult question that was beyond the parameters of the databank……Tears of Mary! Tears!” Leylin guessed.
“Could it be……That this ancient potion formula has something to do with a soul?”
