While the foundations of the two worlds were extremely different, one being science, and the other being magic, it somehow made Leylin feel a little nostalgic.
“I’ll take this one. How much is the rent?”
Leylin pointed to one of the models and asked the rabbit maiden.
“Sir, the rent for this villa is a thousand magic crystals per month…” She peeked at Leylin, looking as if she wanted to say something, and eventually made her mind. “If you join any one of the powers backing Nightless City, you’ll be gifted a villa, and…”
“Alright. Which family do you come from?
Leylin was very much aware that these employees were part of the powers behind Nightless City, and it was naturally their job to attract talents. They were sure to receive attractive rewards for their work if they were successful.
“The Mordeken family! I come from the Mordeken Family!” The rabbit maiden lowered her collar and revealed a brand in the shape of a palm under her shoulder.
The shape of the palm was a little strange. Instead of having five fingers, as was the norm, there were actually six.
The sides of the brand were a little charred and twisted. From the looks of it, a branding iron had been used directly on her skin in the past. The contrast between that and the rabbit maiden’s delicate skin gave rise to an abnormal sense of beauty.
“I understand! If there’s anything I need in the future, I’ll consider the Mordeken family first!”
Leylin’s expression remained the same, seemingly unmoved by her attempts. Sean, on the other hand, was salivating at the offer.
“Here are the magic crystals. I’ll be renting it for a year.” Leylin threw a small bag of magic crystals towards the back of the counter.
After being rejected, the rabbit maiden’s expression slightly darkened, but she immediately forced a smile.
Even though she wasn’t able to convince an official Magus to join the family, she would still receive some rewards from this transaction.
The rabbit maiden asked for the ring on Leylin’s finger, and placed it in a device behind her, within which an exotic symbol was inscribed. She then respectfully returned it to Leylin.
“The pattern of the villa’s defensive spell formation has already been marked onto your ring. You may enter the villa using the ring, and also make changes to the spell formation…”
Following which, the rabbit maiden passed Leylin a bunch of keys and a document.
“Here are the keys to the rooms in the villa, as well as some important information. I hope you have a pleasant stay there!”
Leylin retrieved the items and walked out of the hall with Sean.
“He actually spent over ten thousand magic crystals in one go…”
Sean still had a look of disbelief on his face.
Although he had heard of how certain magicians were able to spend unimaginable amounts of wealth, being in actual contact with someone who had the means to do so was still an entirely different feeling.
“Having met such a magnanimous customer, my rewards will definitely not be meagre. I might even be able to get a generous tip as well…”
Sean began to let his imagination run wild.
“Bring me to the villa and these will be yours!”
Leylin smiled, tossing a few magic crystals that were glistening temptingly.
“Of course! Your wish is my command!”
Sean’s eyes brightened, and he quickly ran to the front. “Please follow me! There’s not one place in Nightless City that I, Sean, am not aware of!”
