Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)

Chapter 46

Several minutes later, within the large hall.

There was no one else apart from Leylin and Bicky. Leylin commanded his people to excuse them.

Leylin and Bicky sat facing each other, only separated by a small, white round-table. There were many appetizers and aperitifs arranged on this table.

Bicky was holding a piece of sponge cake within her hand, but it appeared she had no appetite.

"Is it true? How did you actually get promoted to a level 1 Magus this soon?"

Bicky, still appearing absent-minded, picked up a steaming drink and took a gulp.

"Congratulations, Leylin! Also, thank you for coming over to help me."

"Don't mention it. After all, you are my friend." Leylin smiled as he said.

"That's right! You are a good friend." Bicky unconsciously repeated whatever Leylin said, still looking dazed.

"What do you plan to do from now on?" asked Leylin, asked, seeing Bicky acting in this manner.

"In the future?" Bicky bowed her head as in deep thought and said, "I do not intend to return to the academy. I shall go and travel and perhaps one day; I will return to my family"

Saying this, she looked eagerly at Leylin, "Maybe I can become your follower?"

After becoming an official Magus, a person can usually accept a few followers and agree upon a soul contract where the followers would pledge their life and loyalty to their master. In return, based on their accomplishments, the masters would have to provide their followers with knowledge and resources to the best of their abilities.

And in the outside world, a follower can be the representative of their master to a certain extent.

"Well...." Leylin didn't answer immediately, He took a cake from the table and started to eat.

"I can take you in but i will have to test if you have the ability or not..."

Leylin knows that if you give something valuable to anyone without them actually earning it, it will make them not value it at all.

Leylin has plans for Bicky, although he likes her but she has to prove her worth.The task he will assign to her in the future is a challenging one.

" I will do anything you want.. " Bicky suddenly become tensed and spoked timidly.

" Really? We will see about that " Leylin looked at her and he retreated A book from his clothes, putting it on the table.

" I want you to kill Fayle ! " Leylin said with a strange glit in his eyes, he was reading Bicky. Her expression, breathing, heartbeat, everything with which he can see her state of mind.

"Kill him" Bicky remained silent for a moment.Her breathing became rugged, Her heartbeat was off the charts. there were anger and helplessness in her eyes.

A good while later, she calmly spoke, "He entered the Purple-Gold Flower family and now has both Grine Water and the Rainbow Potion. I am afraid that he has already broken through and become an official Magus. What can I do?"

"You don't have to care about Purple-Gold Flower Family. i will take care of it. I will make arrangements for you to escape their wrath ." Leylin said confidently. The top brass of that family is but a Rank 1 Magus, As leylin is right now he doesn't fear his strength at all, especially with his Fallen Star Pendant.

More importantly why would someone like him even bother to take revenge for a weakling like Fayle . At most if leylin wants he can just offer some collateral and they will accept happily but Leylin doesn't want that he actually wants the Purple-Gold Flower family to chase Bicky.

" Still.. How can I kill Fayle when I am but a mere Level 2 Acolyte? " Bicky said with tears glistening her eyes.

" What about it? " Leylin asked with a raised eyebrow.

" If you accept to bear my seal and become my follower, I will help you become strong enough to extract your revenge. " Leylin said .

Bicky was confused and thrilled to hear this. She was excited to know she can follow Leylin but she was confused as Leylin action betrays common practices in Magus World.

" You don't have to know why. Just tell me are you willing " Leylin crossed his hands before his chest and asked.

Bicky nodded after which Leylin asked her to accept his Seal, She complied and Leylin marked her with 'Seal of Lucifer'.

Leylin pushed the book before her and also put some potions, " These are some Spiritual Potion and an Advanced Meditation techniques "

This was the same one He extorted from Bosain, As for the ire of Lilytell family which will insue when they become aware. Leylin just didn't care.

"Thank you! Thank you! Leylin"

She cried as she pounced into Leylin's arms. Leylin's expression was tender as he hugged her with his left arm, with the right hand patting her gently on the back.

After which, Leylin made a strange gesture with his right arm where Bicky did not realise it.

A greyish black gas was pulled out from Bicky's body and held firmly in Leylin's hands.

Several hours later, after refusing Johnson's invite to stay, Leylin left the Tyler Fort on his own.

Before leaving, he let all his guard except Grenn and Dexter to remain at Bicky side and act when needed. Only Leylin knew that their Strength is more than enough to ensure Bicky safety.

'With the resources I have given her, she will need around a year to advance, Once she accomplish her task I will transport her to Teljose City, The light magi domain'

Leylin wants Bicky to be his spy in the domain and infiltrate the important places, with his knowledge about them, He can easily guess a route to extort most profits.

Leylin walked a good long distance before looking back at Tyler Fort. With his vision, he could see a smoky white figure standing alone in front of the Tyler Fort, maintaining the gesture of sending Leylin off earlier.

' Don't let me down, I gave you this one chance Bicky to change your fate forever. '

Advancing is not so easy though, the role of resources are very important but one need talent too and very importantly grit. Bicky has shown a resolve like never before but Leylin will not bet his all on this only.

Leylin has prepared a trail for her, There is only two ways this can go : Either she sinks or she swims.

Obviously with such an important operation leylin has made optimum contingency plans to ensure his sucess.

Once Bicky is ready to act she will gave the message to Leylin and He is going use his curse powers to entice one of Fayle men and false feed him some inheritance crap. with his greedy nature he will take the bait. hook, line and sinker.

He will immediately transport Bicky to Light Magi Domain, where they will perform a background check on her. After checking her animosity with the local powers they will take her in.

The biggest obstacles is the test of character for Bicky. Leylin doesn't need unnecessary people who will bring only trouble, If what she desired was a quite life, leylin would have done that much at least for her. But the path she choose was to be his follower hence she will have to go through much pain and perseverance.

' Time has come for me to depart this place, I guess she has choosen her own path too and decided to believe in herself '

Nyssa never replied to his offer and choose to strive towards her goal with herself. She most probably doesn't think that a 'Level 3 Acolyte' can help her.

' We will meet again though, when fate calls for this happening!" Leylin murmurs to himself with a smile on his face.

The Poolfield Kingdom was Abyssal Bone Forest Academy territory, The region to the north was filled with unspeakable dangers. Leylin decided that West was the way to go. He ploughed through the Zither Moon Mountain Plains and entered the vicinity of the Sage Gotham Hut

The two forces just had a war, where they were irreconcilable like fire and water.

The whole south coast was still big! Abyssal Bone Forest Academy and Sage Gotham Hut only belonged to the remote area on the eastern side of the south coast, like the rural area.

After passing through the Inlan Dukedom controlled by the Sage Gotham Hut and passing through the Great Canyon Margaret and traversing through a dozen more kingdoms, he reached the central area of the south coast.

It was said that the Light Magi in this area held the highest power and could live in harmony with regular humans. Massacres and battles seldom occurred here.

Leylin's plan was to continue his progress in this area.

Although he only needed to meditate the high-grade meditation technique to advance, it did not mean that he had no need for resources.

Rather, it was just the contrary, no matter if it was for Elemental Essence Conversion or the decreased time between meditations, Leylin required resources, lots of magical resources!

Thankfully he doesn't have to care about earning them he just has to trade, Leylin was not stupid though each time he made a trade he will always act in disguise . You can never underestimate the intelligence of these Magi.

All these required a distribution centre to collect the ingredients.

The largest markets in the south coast were in the central region, which was overseen by the Ennea Ivory Ring Tower and other large magisterium.

As he thought of Ennea Ivory Ring Tower, Leylin recalled George.

It was a youth who set off at the same time as him, finally entering the Ennea Ivory Ring Tower for his studies. In a flash, five to six years had passed. George had a fourth-grade aptitude, so it was very likely he had already advanced into a level 3 acolyte.

...

In the Inlan Dukedom, on a broad road, a black horse carriage continuously sped on it , Just behind it was another Carriage Drived by two strong looking Guards.

The black horse carriage had the wooden wheels which were galvanised by iron let off creaking sounds.

As there were no shock absorbing functions, the rise and fall of the carriage was extremely great, so the passenger inside the horse carriage did not have a good ride.

It seems that this rented horse carriage had all sorts of passengers on it. There was a white-bearded old man with his granddaughter, wanton women, and even those merchants wearing caps hugging onto their belongings tightly.

On the other carriage back seat was a The youth that had pure black hair with some lustre on it. His handsome face had a radiant smile, which made him have a strange yet strong charisma!

This person naturally was Leylin.

Amist the journey as their carriage was dashing forward Leylin noticed a child dressed pink on a carriage. He could tell in a glance that this was ivy, The girl who had a very faint Warlock bloodline in her. Originally he was going to leave them but he decided to help her out.

Her bloodline is too thin for her to become a Warlock hence she has not much use for him. Her blood is not much help either since he has already updated his Fallen Star Pendant.

Leylin decided to help because he pitied her and this is not much trouble anyways. He would also like to do some research on her bloodline even if it's not much use.

The adolescent female child had a pair of sapphire-like eyes and milky white skin. She spotted Leylin smiling at her and smiled back friendly at Leylin.

The little girl's grandfather seated next to her spotted the interaction and immediately pulled her close to his side. He whispered words into the child's ear which caused her to hurriedly avoid Leylin's attention. Although hard to hear, It was most likely a warning against the dangers lurking outside.

Following which, the white-bearded grandfather stared menacingly into Leylin's eyes as a sign of warning.

Immediately as a sign of provocation both his Guards withdraw thier weapons and were just a signal away from ripping the old fart apart.

Unaffected by the grandfather's hostility, Leylin let out a chuckle and waved his hands to his guards to calm down.

The strength of Warlocks came from the bloodlines. Their descendants would also carry traces of their bloodline. However, it was extremely difficult to unearth that strength again.

For instance, this little girl's bloodline was already extremely thin. Moreover, there were no energy waves coming from her. She was the most regular of humans, not even an acolyte.

Also, the further away from the first generation Warlock, the bloodline would slowly thin out over the generations, finally turning into regular humans again.

However, in the second and third generations, there were still plenty of decent quality bloodline inherited.

Hence, Warlocks tend to reproduce often to establish their own family.

Leylin, for example, was a first generation bloodline. If he had any descendants, his children and grandchildren's bloodline would also have the strength of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent!

This scenario was somewhat similar to the Magi families, yet different.

The main thing that Magi wanted to pass on was their soul aptitude, every generation may be regular humans with no aptitude. Furthermore, although both the Warlocks and Magi held bloodlines in esteem, the Magi would not mind accepting fresh blood to raise the genes passed down in the family, which might sometimes exceed that of the ancestors!

However, Warlocks were different. They revered the purity of bloodlines, so they would protect the purity of the bloodlines and soul through the marriage of relatives. To them, if an outsider joins their family, not only would it not increase the density of the bloodline, it would even contaminate their bloodline.

Moreover, the descendants inheriting the bloodline of Warlocks found it extremely difficult to advance into an official Magus. Unless they found a high-grade meditation technique that was suitable for their bloodline. Under normal circumstances, these things were usually passed down from the first generation.

However, once the density of the bloodline thins out, or if the inheritance of the high-grade meditation technique stopped, it was often the start of a Warlock family's decline.

When a Magus family declines, there was the possible chance of their descendants bringing it back to glory. However, it was extremely difficult for Warlock families to do the same.

Unless the descendant found the original source of bloodline, or through some other methods to replenish the strength of bloodlines!

In the Central Continent, there were 3 schools of thoughts. Families consisted of either those who revered high-grade meditation techniques, those with bloodlines or some other assortment of the magisterium. This were the 3 main representatives in the continent.

What was undeniable was that Leylin had an extreme interest in his same kind. Although it was most likely that no high-grade meditation techniques could appear on her.

The other party's destination was also the Great Canyon Margaret, which coincided with Leylin's plans, so he naturally dispelled the thought of travelling alone.

As for the white bearded old geezer beside the little girl, he often saw Leylin sneaking glances at his granddaughter, even having a smile that seemed to harbour malicious intentions. So naturally his expression was not too pleasant.

He couldn't guess Leylin strength and looking at his guards ability he just thought that he was some nobel Young master or something

After the advancement previously, Leylin spent much time and effort to have the A.I. Chip optimise his shapeshifting ability again. The effect was greater than before.

The corner of Leylin's lips curled up.

"It seems like this journey would not be too boring!"
