For instance, the Vitality Fruitvine might not have been common in the central continent, but rank 3 acolytes could get a hold of them. It wasn’t big enough for official Magi to fight each other over.
Seeing his longing to return, Leylin’s anticipation towards the central continent immediately increased.
The prosperity of the central continent seemed to have exceeded his expectations. The description even contained traces of the golden age of the ancient Magi.
“This can come later. First, I’ll go check out where you came from…” Leylin stroked his chin and kept the map.
Even though he had decided to proceed towards the central continent, there were many things to settle in Twilight Zone as well.
After all, in a guild as big as Nature’s Alliance, there were a lot of vested interests. Also, were Leylin to disappear, the human race would be thrown into chaos, and this might even extend to beings of other species.
Bloop! Bloop! This was a huge lava lake. Large amounts of fresh red lava continuously boiled to the top, radiating heat. The lava at the central had grown so hot it was golden-yellow, the glow of the ripples captivating even in its danger.
“This high temperature,” Leylin’s face slightly changed, “I’m afraid that even with my defense I could withstand it for ten hours at most!”
Above the lake was a giant hole. It was pitch black, with no exit in sight, but there were traces of wind howls transmitting out from it.
“Above us is the main entrance towards the giant volcanic mountain range. Normally, the lava level is so high that it covers the entrance. Only once in a hundred years, during the short dormancy, does it drop down low enough to travel through…” Kubler explained.
“I know!” Leylin’s body rose into mid-air, as he felt the edges of the cave. A strange feeling of a solid glow with a tinge of heat was transmitted over.
After being immersed in large amounts of lava, the surface of the rock was not composed as it was before. It had become an alloy of metal and crystal.
“We need to make the most of the time we have! If not, we won’t be able to make it back to the surface of the earth before the lava engulfs the area!” Kubler’s expression looked peculiar. Similarly, he had not thought that having just arrived at this place, he would have to journey back again.
Chapter 391 – Planning For The Afterlife
Planning For The Afterlife
“No, don’t worry! I have better plans!”
Leylin smiled faintly: “Furthermore, I still have some things to settle here….”
Kubler’s heart was too full of worry. He wondered whether his Lord was going to wait a hundred years for the next cycle.
Mankestre Bloodline Warlocks like him did not have a long lifespan. He could, at most, last two or three hundred years. A hundred years was, to him, a significant portion of his lifespan!
But… Kubler looked at the man whom he now served. As a vassal, the Lord has the last say, so what more could he do than laugh bitterly?
“I’ll be heading out for a while. Stay here and monitor the lava flow data, and contact me periodically using our secret imprints. In the meanwhile, use the special rocks here to make one of these. All you have to do is follow this blueprint!”
A fluorescent blue light flashed in Leylin’s eyes. It took him but a moment to form a design and imprint it into a crystal ball.
Kubler’s face changed slightly as he received it, and he respectfully lowered his head. “Yes, my Lord!”
“Alright!” Moments after the order was given, Leylin transformed into a dark silhouette and disappeared.
A black streak pierced through the sky, creating friction with the air and leaving behind an ear-piercing screech.
Even if he had time to prepare, it was running out, so it was important to make the most of it!
Nature’s Alliance, North Twilight Zone.
Celine sat behind the huge and luxurious office table and stretched lazily, revealing her perfect curves.
Although doing irksome corrections and office affairs every day was very troublesome, she found the tiring job enjoyable.
It made every cell in her body shiver with excitement — and even made her slightly moist down below — every time she thought about how every word she put to paper, even every sentence she uttered, would make a big difference to the fates of numerous acolytes and even Magi.
“But it is a pity that my position here is not fully secured….” Celine glanced at her flat and smooth abdomen, a rather reluctant expression on her face.
“What’s wrong? Are you still grumbling that you’re not with child?”
The voice of a young man suddenly sounded from inside the office.
“Ra… Radiant Guardian!”
When the other female Magi and office administrators saw Leylin, they could not contain the excitement in their eyes. Files were overturned and cups of tea spilled as they rushed to bow.
“Mmm!” Leylin said as he nodded and waved.
All the Magi except Celine left the office quickly, completely silent.
“Yes!” Celine looked into Leylin’s eyes without fear.
Although the mental state of this impeccably handsome man was rather decent, his attire was somewhat dusty and messy.
‘Could this be the aftermath of rushing and being nervous?’ As a keen and observant woman, Celine immediately realized this…
“Leylin, you’re currently standing at the peak of Twilight Zone. One step and you can turn the entirety of it into a Magus kingdom, and pass it on through the generations!” Celine’s voice held a mixture of excitement and confusion, “A child! All you need is a child! An inheritor to your power!”
Her eyes clouded up as she hugged Leylin.
If it was the past, Leylin definitely would not hesitate to argue with her over it. But now, Celine noticed the calm in Leylin’s eyes; calm like the still waters of an old well.
A realization hit Celine, making her immediately sink into immense fear. The day she loses Leylin’s affection would be the day she loses everything. This was also the reason why she strongly wished to bear Leylin’s child.
Even as she struggled to think of a method to show her affection, Leylin’s next words beat her down into the abyss.
“I have to go!”
“You’re going?” Celine was feeling slightly giddy, “Where to?”
“I’m leaving this place! Leaving Twilight Zone!” Leylin paused at every word, making sure Celine heard everything clearly.
“Are you mad? Why do you want to leave this place? You’re the king here! You’re my sun and my star. You are my everything….”
What would happen once Leylin leaves? The mere thought of scenarios that might happen if he followed through with his words made Celine sink into extreme fear. She hugged Leylin tightly, tears flashing at the corners of her eyes.
And yet, Leylin cruelly pushed her away, his hand cold as steel.
Celine calmed down and gazed at the emotionless Leylin.
“As you know, I’m actually not even a Magus of Twilight Zone, it was all an accident!” Leylin slowly said.
Regarding his history, after going through so many interactions and investigations, this woman had probably speculated a lot already.
Sure enough, Celine’s face remained unchanged and she evidently did not feel surprised.
“I seek the pinnacle of the Magus world. The scene of different worlds from the top will be the most beautiful view one could ever hope for… So I cannot stop advancing. I must continue forward until I achieve my goal! I believe you too can understand this!”
Leylin looked into the depths of Celine’s eyes.
At this moment, Celine had already completely calmed down. ‘Or rather, was it all just an act before?’ Leylin’s thoughts stopped here as he couldn’t help but secretly feel a little annoyed.
“I do! I’ve always known that when this place is can no longer fulfill your requirements any further, you would leave. I fully understand that, but I never thought that our separation would be this quick, or in this manner!”
Celine chuckled bitterly as she combed through her messy hair.
“Fate is unpredictable!” Leylin tried to hide the news about the central continent. “Plus, I’ve also made appropriate arrangements!”
“What arrangements? I can’t keep the other races and rank 2 Magi in check. Even I rose the ranks to the peak with your help, I’m only a rank 1 Magus, not someone they’ll listen to!” Celine was indeed very realistic and had already accepted the reality of Leylin leaving and was already planning her own future.
Swish! Leylin flicked his finger and a black ray of light penetrated the window, landing on the huge black stone sculpture in the plaza in front of the teaching block.
Buzz! The sculpture started trembling and a thin barrier of light flickered at the top.
“I left some of my aura on this sculpture. As long as my main body doesn’t die, this barrier of light will never dissipate… Believe in the deterrence of this rank 3 Magus and you’ll still be able to continue for a very long time!”
