“I’ve used them!” Leylin lifted his brows. “If there’s anything you want to say, say it!”
“Alright! Our target, this time, is the resource warehouse in the Eternal Plains’ secret plane that the Four Seasons Garden is in charge of!” Giant told him their goal without beating around the bush.
“This time, not only will our members go all-out on this mission, even the Lord behind us will make his move at opportune times.”
Leylin’s face twitched slightly at this news, but he accepted this peacefully.
In the Four Seasons Garden, there was Reynold, who was at least a rank 2 Magus, taking charge! If there wasn’t an opponent with a similar level of power to attract the brunt of the assault, the invading dark Magi would just be committing suicide no matter how many of them there were!
“Alright. What’s my mission?” Leylin inquired.
“Good!” Giant pointed his thumb upwards. “Your mission is simple. The time we make our move is tomorrow night at 7. Reynold is planning on seeing you, right?”
Giant spoke matter-of-factly, but this made Leylin’s heart turn cold.
For him to know about even this, there must have been other spies from the Thousand Meddling Hands in the Four Seasons Garden!
But putting your hands on everything will only expose your own identity! Leylin smirked inside.
Giant had not noticed any abnormalities in Leylin and was still speaking, “At that time, we will lead Reynold away. Your mission is to pass through a spell formation inside his office and activate this spell design.”
As he spoke, he passed a fist-sized red crystal to Leylin.
Pak! Leylin firmly caught the red crystal.
“What is this spell design?” The interior of the red crystal was laden with tiny runes. When the runes connected together, they looked like a gold liquid constantly flowing inside the crystal.
Though the A.I. Chip had never recorded such runes before, Leylin was sure that this was a spell design specially catered to a specific spell formation or artifact.
After all, how could something Reynold had placed in his own office and was personally protecting, be anything simple?
“It’s just a regular spell design to lift a seal!” It was obvious that Giant did not want to explain any further.
Leylin stared at the Giant for a long, long time, and then spoke. “You want me to do something in the area where the Four Seasons Garden has the tightest defense, which is a rank 2 Magus’ office. Are you trying to get me killed?”
As he spoke, Leylin’s eyes turned into an amber hue.
A powerful spiritual force with a depthless darkness quickly descended upon the area!
Bloodlust and terror! Spiritual force that carried dense elemental particles with it formed a phantom of a black, giant serpent, which glided around Giant. Its eyes were fixated on Giant, as if it was looking for a place for it to sink its teeth into.
“Such an imposing aura and such bloodlust! How many people has he actually killed?”
Giant’s heart went cold. He himself wasn’t any good person and had taken the lives of countless people. However, compared to such a cold-blooded and strong bloodlust, he was still on a lower level than this person!
What made Giant even more shocked was that Leylin’s spiritual force had already reached an amount that only peak rank 1 Magi possessed. He might have even surpassed Giant himself!
“He actually dares to attack here!”
Gazing into Leylin’s ice-cold pupils, Giant’s heart suddenly chilled, feeling as if his opponent knew all of his secrets.
Chapter 236 – Enchantment
Enchantment
“Don’t worry, we won’t abandon you!”
Giant tossed a detailed map that had a route marked out in red to Leylin.
“After completing your mission, follow this route, and you’ll definitely be able to leave safely before any other Magi find out. The Lord behind us will divert Reynold’s attention, and we’ll provide support as well.”
Giant spoke calmly, even going out of his way to mention the rank 2 dark Magus supporting Thousand Meddling Hands. It was obvious that he was trying to threaten Leylin.
Leylin was silent for a while. “I will try…”
If it was much too dangerous, he wasn’t going to risk his life for this organisation!
“Alright! You’ll find that this is a very simple and effortless mission!” Giant smiled, “After finishing this, you can rejoin us as a dark Magi! How about it? Which academy or organisation do you want to join? Just tell me.”
Leylin shook his head. He had no such plans yet, and he still did not entirely trust Giant’s words.
If one was not shrewd when dealing with dark Magi, it was certain that they would be taken advantage of so thoroughly that every last bone of theirs will be gobbled!
“Alright! To ensure that things go well, you will need to sign this!” Giant threw a black scroll to Leylin.
“Hm?” Leylin looked through the contents of the scroll and was amazed. “A Trial’s Eye contract? After I have taken the solvent of the Nefarious Filthbird’s feathers, you still dare to use this?”
“This is a special contract that the Lord behind us specifically made for you!” Giant pointed out, emphasizing the last three words. “Also, that solution was the very last one in our organisation. If you can find another, we can only blame it on our bad luck.”
It looked like he was quite confident about this.
“Hehe… in that case, you’re the first person who dares to do something like this!” Leylin scrutinized Giant and smirked.
At the same time, the phantom giant serpent suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit towards Giant!
Rumble!
As it neared Giant, the phantom giant serpent suddenly collapsed and turned into a mass of shadow, slamming against Giant’s green fog and producing the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
“Haha… I was just cracking a joke! I’m but a regular member in the Thousand Meddling Hands, so how would I dare to pit myself against elders like you?”
A bright, gentle smile suddenly appeared on Leylin’s expression!
“You’ll become an elder soon enough! After this operation, I can nominate you!” Giant spoke after a moment’s thought.
“In that case, thank you!”
Leylin lightly tapped on the scroll, and the imprint of a black snake instantly appeared on it.
Rumble!
The apparition of the Trial’s Eye gave Leylin the feeling that this was even more powerful than the one that Reynold had summoned the previous time.
Under its emotionless gaze, the scroll in Leylin’s hands began to spontaneously combust.
Green flames enveloped the scroll.
The moment after the scroll completely burned up, a ray of light that represented the contract and its restrictions flew into Leylin’s mind.
Afterwards, the apparition of the Trial’s Eye automatically dispersed into the air.
He had skimmed through the contract. The only conditions were that he could not help the Four Seasons Garden; there weren’t any harsh conditions. After all, they still needed his help and could not go overboard.
“It didn’t detect traces of the acts of the Nefarious Filthbird?” Leylin wondered.
He then left the area without a word.
Only Giant was left standing quietly in the basement as if he was waiting for something.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Minutes later, Giant’s body, which was covered in green fog, began to shudder violently, and the wall behind him suddenly exploded!
After the dust settled, a large portion of Giant’s fog had dispersed, revealing a giant figure that was up to 2 metres tall.
“Crazy! That person’s a lunatic!”
Giant murmured to himself and proceeded to laugh maniacally. “Haha… Good! Interesting! Things are getting more interesting!”
He then transformed into a green fog and drifted out of the area.
Behind him, the basement gave way and dust filled the air…
The next day, Leylin punctually arrived at Reynold’s office at seven in the evening.
“Lord Reynold!” He knocked on the door gently.
“Come in!” From behind the door, Reynold’s gentle voice was heard.
Leylin took in a deep breath and pushed the door open. Reynold was seated on a chair of vines, wearing a pair of spectacles as he drank a green beverage. Beside him was a little round table and a similar chair.
“Leylin, you’re here! Take a seat!” Reynold pointed to the chair beside him.
“Many thanks!” Leylin bowed once more and sat near Reynold.
“Here! Try the juice of the Jaded Daro Flower! We’re just having a private conversation now, so don’t be too reserved!” Reynold seemed just like a hospitable old man.
As if a little embarrassed, Leylin gave a slight smile and drank from the cup on the table.
The refreshing scent of nature pervaded his taste buds and extended throughout his four limbs. Leylin felt as if warm water was rinsing his body and making him feel rejuvenated.
“How is it? It tastes pretty good, right?” Reynold asked with anticipation.
