Even Leylin felt like he had made a good choice in spending those magic crystals!
“Mister Leylin!” After the fresh calf steak was brought out, Leylin arranged the napkin and, with a knife and fork in each hand, sliced up the steak that was emanating steam. The calf steak here was of a good quality, and the chef had also spent great effort on it. The moment the fork and knife made contact with the steak, boiling gravy gushed out.
Just as Leylin raised his wineglass and was about to enjoy himself, he heard a voice like that of a skylark.
He looked aside and found Jessia, who had seen before, waving her arms with all her might, while that Rolithe’s face was as sour as a lemon.
“Oh!” Leylin greeted casually, and then turned his attention to his own food.
However, it was evident that the other party had no intentions of letting him off. Lifting her skirt, Jessia ran over in little steps, sitting right beside Leylin.
“Mister Leylin, do you like cider? In the Jessia Family, there’s a bottle that’s not bad in our cellar…”
“Even if you’re looking for a shield, does it have to be me?” Leylin raised his head gloomily, taking a look around.
He then found out that he really was the only choice she had. After reaching the rank 1, Magi could use energy particle radiation and alter their appearances, retaining their young, bright looks.
There were very few geniuses who, like Leylin and Jessia, had become official Magi before the age of 20.
Many rose to rank 1 after fifty, and female Magi obviously wanted to retain their most youthful and beautiful looks. On the other hand, many male Magi chose to keep their image at the time they advanced.
Hence, in the Magus World, there were old and young male Magi, but most female Magi were around twenty to thirty years old in terms of their looks. There were few who presented themselves as old women.
In the dining hall Leylin was situated in, it was not that there were no official Magi, but most of them were middle-aged or elderly men. The few young acolytes and the like did not dare flirt with official Magi or rival anyone for the affection of the people around.
Thinking about it, it seemed like Jessia’s best choice was Leylin.
Firstly, though she could not tell Leylin’s strength, he was definitely an official Magus. That was the most important thing! Next, Leylin was young and rather handsome, which was enough for other men to get mad at.
However, towards this unexpected luck with women and the calamity it could cause, Leylin rolled his eyes.
“Can I sit here?” At this moment, the young man whose expression was dark also arrived.
Leylin nodded and watched as he sat by Jessia’s side, much to her visible displeasure.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Nolan, Nolan Rolithe! This is my fiancee, Miss Jessia!”
Nolan laughed slightly, putting emphasis on the words ‘Rolithe’ and ‘fiancee’.
“En! Honestly, this engaged couple is quite compatible! Both are just as young and full of talent!” Leylin nodded.
Through their conversation, the aura and waves that were unwittingly emitted, and even their eyes helped him deduce their general age.
Usually speaking, this would be a perfect pair, but it was a pity that the female did not seem satisfied with this wedding.
Though there were two extra members here to disrupt things, Leylin was able to enjoy his meal, completely ignoring Jessia who paid much attention to him, and Nolan who was about to explode.
Before leaving, the guy called Nolan secretly sent Leylin a transmission, “Get away from my fiancee, or else you’ll regret it!”
“Master?” Kubler looked at the expressionless Leylin and asked, sounding him out.
With Leylin’s command, he would immediately kill the moron Nolan who dared offend his master. Though they were all rank 1 Magi, these two were obviously rookies who had just advanced. It was impossible for them to survive under the hands of Kubler, a Warlock.
“There’s no hurry,” Leylin waved his hands, though he had some questions. Magi were rational people, and while Jessia’s actions would give rise to Nolan’s displeasure, he would definitely recall everything and not start a feud with another Magus over such trivial matters. Besides, Leylin and Jessia had only exchanged a few words.
In addition, Leylin would not kill the two of them over something so insignificant. It was not beneficial to him.
“Looks like the female Magus called Jessia might continue with some tricks!” Leylin touched his chin, feeling like he was watching a show.
“Yes, master!” After hearing Leylin’s instructions, Kubler was unwilling but did not bring it up again.
Two days passed by quickly, the airship stopping outside a station at a middle-scaled city in Black River Region.
Leylin held a cane and put on a hat, wearing something like a suit. He seemed even more elegant than young masters of noble families, having the dignified aura only a ruler would have as he walked down the stairs.
Meanwhile, Kubler was like a loyal butler, following close behind and holding something in his hands.
“Mister Leylin!” Jessia’s voice sounded. This was also her stop.
Leylin laughed and approached her.
Nolan stood aside, though he was full of smiles as if he had understood something.
“Sire Leylin, my apologies for my behaviour!”
Nolan resumed his good behaviour, washing away the impatience and seeming poised.
He had realised his mistakes and was now coming forward to apologise.
“It’s fine! If I had such a pretty fiancee, I’d be overly suspicious of everyone else well!” Leylin teased.
Jessia rolled her eyes at Leylin and asked, “Mister Leylin, where are you going?”
It wasn’t the first time she was asking this, and Leylin had refused to answer.
“Me?” Leylin saw a hint of nervousness in Nolan’s eyes, and couldn’t help but shake his head and break into laughter.
No matter how poised and calm he looked, his eyes would give him away in the end.
Chapter 395 – A Scene
A Scene
“I would like to walk around for a while, you may leave here!”
Leylin saw a hint of disappointment in Jessia’s eyes after he told her that, and Nolan heaved a sigh of relief.
He chuckled as he turned around and raised his hand and disappeared among the stream of people, with Kubler immediately following.
With his astonishing senses, Leylin faintly heard two people behind him arguing in constrained voices.
“This is really….” Leylin shook his head, “Instead of focusing your limited energy on pursuing the truth, you focus on such things…”
“But I suppose this is probably a commoner’s pleasure right!”
He nodded his head after shaking it, called out to Kubler and continued his journey.
“After entering the Black River Domain, the Ouroboros Clan Headquarters—Phosphorescence Swamp will be very near…” Kubler was naturally very familiar with this place and had a tinge of both fear and longing.
After hiring a horse chariot, both he and Leylin enjoyed the scenery along the way.
If they had hastened on with their journey, they would not have been so slow in progress. However, Leylin was not in a hurry and had wanted to enjoy the sights and sounds of the central continent, hence he chose to travel by chariot.
As night fell, the two arrived at a small town.
Accommodations at the inn were cramped, and the air was filled with the odour of alcohol, sweat, and manure.
Leylin furrowed his brows at such conditions. Since this was the only inn in town, he still reluctantly accepted it as it was still better than spending the night in the open.
After putting down their luggage, Leylin and Kubler headed to the main hall intending to have a meal.
The menu for dinner was beef and potato stew with some fresh vegetables. That was all the town had to offer. Surprisingly it was deliciously prepared with an enticing scent to boost one’s appetite.
“Huh?” At this moment, Kubler’s expression changed.
A gush of profound ash-colored dust started stirring from the main door of the inn, spreading continuously and extending to the other parts of the inn enveloping other travellers and the owners themselves.
Crackle! Crackle!
The commoners, whose bodies were covered with the ash-colored dust all stood frozen, their bodies as stiff as a candle.
“It’s a freezing spell! There is a Magus around and we are the target!”
A shocked Kubler stood up and exclaimed with anger. Yellow energy emerged from his body and spread all around.
A circular radiance surrounded their round table, protecting them against the fate of the other travellers.
Leylin was totally unfazed by what was happening and was still enjoying the town-brewed wheat wine.
Bang!
The wooden main door burst open and 2 Magi wearing black robes entered the room. In front of their chest, Leylin saw the familiar red ruby emblem.
“Nolan! We meet again!” Leylin raised his glass and greeted casually.
