Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)

Chapter 16

Leylin has made adequate preparation on his parts, now the time to depart from here has come.6 month from now the returning order will come, it will give a 3 month period to return. The straight journey itself from here to Academy is 2 months, So Leylin has lots of time in total to Conquer Dylan Gardens and manage the Items obtained from there but to avert any mishap he decided to leave soon.

'I was waiting for A.I.Chip to finish it's examination of 'Sentient force' , That will be finished in the journey. Now I need to take care of things here and set off'.

"Give out the orders, I wish to join the subordinates for tonight's dinner!"

After exiting the secret lab, Leylin instructed Anna.

"Yes, Young Master!" Leylin was on the solitary side, and he usually left the daily chores and trifle things to Anna, Greem and the others, while he holed himself up in the experiment lab all day. He also rarely left the manor, so giving out an order suddenly did startle Anna. However, she was a quick-witted woman, so she did not ask much. After curtseying, she retreated while displaying her beautiful curves in front of Leylin.

In the manor, naturally there were halls large enough which could accommodate the master to have a meal with his subordinates.

The hall was constructed with large red rocks, the windowsill was rather small, and the sunlight could only dimly light up the place. However, at the centre, a silver rack with hundreds of candles lit solved that problem completely.

In the centre of the large hall, a long red table was placed. The attendants and kitchen staff were shifting the huge chairs with backrest, which caused squeaky noises. They also laid a thick, white cloth on the table, and arranged silver forks and spoons, plates and other cutleries.

When it was time to eat, the table was already filled with many delicacies. At the centre was a barbecued mutton. Around the golden yellow barbecue meat, there were many purple and red fruits. It complemented the combination of dishes and was a tantalising display.

Leylin immediately sat at the most respected position and looked at the group in front of him.

Immediately, to the left and right sides of Leylin, were Fraser and Greem respectively. As Knights and subordinates who had followed Leylin from the earliest, their positions were naturally of the highest. Roran Hawks mercenary group's leader, Fayern.

As for Anna, she awaited behind Leylin silently, like a dutiful serving maid with Shera and Rede with behind her. However, all the people present did not dare think that her status was just that of a maid.

Everyone knew that Anna was exceptionally favoured by this Young Master. Not only could she see Leylin regularly, but she even held the key to the gold vault!

Many others sat on the long table, but Leylin was only familiar with these few. The others merely looked familiar to Leylin, but Leylin knew of their faces and names, which he could remember by relying on the A.I. Chip.

Leylin never bothered about the trifles of regular livelihood. The pathway to being a Magus already expended a huge amount of his concentration. He absolutely could not allocate any of his concentration on other matters.

Of course, Leylin's outward mannerisms were similar to that of many magicians. It also fit with how regular humans expected from magicians.

In the hearts of all the people on the south coast, magicians were a group of people who wielded mysterious powers, but they were extremely solitary. They often resided in dark woods or concealed marshes. Only when they needed ingredients and other items, would they leave their dwelling.

"Young Master!"

The masses around the long table stood up and bowed.

* Ding! * Leylin used the silver spoon and tapped on the glass in front of him, giving off a crisp noise.

Everyone! By calling you all out here today, is because I have something to announce to everyone!" Leylin's eyes swept the crowd. As of now, his spiritual force had already reached 15.2, and the mysterious gaze of his eyes was awe-inspiring; it was as if his eyes had been chiseled from the highest grade jewels. Anyone who was looked at by him would experience a sharp pain in their eyes, and tears would involuntarily leak out.

Even if it was Greem or Fraser, they could only bow their heads low at this moment.

"Please give your orders, Young Master!"

"I will leave for a period of time, and there will be no set date on returning. When I am not around, the daily matters of the manor would all be decided by Rene and Shera."

Leylin looked at the masses below him and said slowly.

"What?" A bout of commotion sparked, and immediately the group whispered fervently to each other, as they used strange gazes to look at Rene and Shera

Both the womens were somewhat uneasy as they twisted and clutched at their dress.

"Silence!" Leylin knocked on the silver glass again, and the crowd turned silent.

"From today onwards, the words from these two would be the same as mine. Any decision of theirs must be completely obeyed and carried out by you."

"We obey!" Although Leylin did not usually bother himself with many matters, the imposing aura coming from him was extremely immense. There were also rumours flying around that he was part of the Mysterious Entity, which made his subordinates' reverence towards him even greater.

"Anna, Greem, Fraser come to my study room together after dinner!"

Seeing that his subordinates did not have any objections, Leylin nodded his head and said, "For now, everyone please enjoy yourself!"

The group nodded their heads, returned to their positions, and sat down. The sound of clanging cutlery continuously rang.

Ever since Leylin had issued his orders, the hall was much more silent than before. Although the dinner was sumptuous, the masses seemed to have something weighing down on their hearts.

After dinner, Leylin received the trio which knew of his magician identity.

Greem and Fraser wore leather armour, which looked extremely imposing. Anna still wore a low cut blouse, and appeared even more seductive.

"You guys know that I am a magician. Right now, I am about to embark on a journey, and I will be needing you to come with me..."

Leylin sat behind the desk, speaking solemnly to the three of them.

"We understand,Young Master !" Greem, Fraser and Anna nodded their heads. Compared to the rest, they knew how terrifying this master of theirs was .Brilliant light shined in Anna's eyes, She was happy to not part from Leylin

After sending Greem and Fraser away, the room was only left with Anna and Leylin.

"Give this to Rene and Shera!"

Saying so, Leylin handed a parchment paper over to Anna.

"This is." Anna opened the parchment paper to have a look, and she became startled.

"These are letters of authority. They both will be managing all of my establishments in Extreme Night City. Furthermore, if I don't return within ten years, all of these will be transferred over to their name!"

Leylin crossed his fingers, "Furthermore, Viscount Jackson is witnesses to these procedures! If they meet with any trouble in the future, Tell them to seek his aid!"

These worldly possessions, Leylin could have as many as he wanted. Naturally he would not mind giving them to those who served him well.

"I hope that after having these things, They will be able to live a happier life!"

Leylin's eyes were unreadable.

"The troublesome matters have all been resolved. What's left is to finally dispose of the experiment lab and underground cells thoroughly!"

....

Within Extreme Night City, there was recently a matter that was neither big nor small happening. This turned into an idle conversation topic discussed by commoners after lunch tea.

Mister Leylin, an heir of a noble who had stayed in the city for some time and Viscount Jackson good friend, was temporarily leaving Extreme Night City.

Before he left, he actually handed over the manor to his two female attendant, to handle the running.

For nobles, although they did vent their pent up energy on their serving maids frequently, they would never have handed over important establishments and such over to them because of this act.

After all, to them, maids were like toys, which could be changed or abandoned at any time. As for establishments and lands, they would often become the inheritance of an heir, and was the root for the growth of a family's continual development.

By doing this, Leylin had turned into a joke in front of the rest of the nobility. Not only did his reputation contain a lazy and kind person, it also extended to a muddle-headed trademark.

However, to the surprise of many, the attendants, with the help of Guards, very soon made the remainder of Leylin's faction submit to Them. At the same time, Viscount Jackson city lord stepped in personally to express his support.

However, all of these things had nothing to do with Leylin. At this moment, he had long since left Extreme Night City.

* Pitter Patter! *

The sky turned dark, and bean sized drops of rain fell on the ground, initiating countless splashes.

* Thud Thud Thud! * Two carriage continually dashed along the road, and the scenery on both sides hurriedly retreated.

It came and stopped before a Small Town Gates. After talking a bit with the Town Gatekeepers , Both carriage dashed into the Town, parking by a small Inn. A Black clothed Man and a women uploaded from first Carriage , and 6 people from the other.

The Black Clothed Man took off his coat, revealing a young face with brown hair and eyes that glittered like jewels.

This person was Leylin and by his side was the beautiful maid Anna .

"Finally After 4 months of continues journey, I have reached Zither Moon Town "

Leylin had to take a little detour, although the straight route would have take 2 and a half months but he had to stop at Ellinel Market which increased the journey duration. He was in no rush either and visited many Magus Hotspot to increase his connections for future business.

The Zither Moon Town was a little town located at the foot of the Zither Moon Mountain Plains.

Leylin look behind him there were 10 people in Total. Two being Glenn and Fraser and other eight were the Knight slave he bought when he was travelling through Ellinel market route.

Out of these 8 , Six are Knights with ample Battle experience and other two are Grand Knight.

'In total, it cost 2200 Magic crystals to buy them, It cost me 800 Magic crystal each for Grand Knights, although the suitable price is 700 , you cannot really expect fair pricing here where the Supply is limited. '

Leylin knows very well that only one Plant from the Dylan gardens is way worth the expenditure of these Guards so didn't felt any pain in buying them.They are Canon fodder anyways.
