Leylin suddenly remembered some information about Magus’ history.
After the ancient times had passed, it was the current period. During this current period, two huge wars had occurred. These two events had affected the Magi, and basically all species in the entire south coast. The Magi suffered massive casualties, and the humans were obviously more affected, with numerous empires annihilated.
These two wars were named the First and Second Great Magus Wars!
Now, it seemed the Third Great Magus War was about to begin!
Leylin’s scrunched up his brows and wrinkled his forehead.
For him, it was entirely possible to accumulate information and resources, and with the A.I. Chip, he would be able to constantly break through his bottlenecks and improve further.
As a result, Leylin had hoped to be able to develop in a more peaceful and stable environment until he would reach a bottleneck.
In the previous great wars, acolytes were cannon fodder. Even official Magi fell and died in swarms, resulting in the alternate name of the wars: the Magus World’s Death Grinder.
Leylin wasn’t sure that he would be lucky enough to escape unscathed!
Wars of this scale affected the entire south coast, and nobody had been able to escape. As long as one was a Magus, he or she would be involved in it.
Unless… If he left the south coast and passed through several extremely dangerous regions, and set off for a new place, he would be safe.
“I shouldn’t scare myself. It might just be a conflict between the Four Seasons Garden and another Magus organisation!”
Leylin, who had been standing by the city gates, suddenly smiled gently and walked right inside.
He’d thought it through. No matter what happened, it had absolutely nothing to do with him.
After all, he was a member of Four Seasons Garden’s Potioneering team! Unless Caesar’s entire hunting team was annihilated, research personnel like him wouldn’t need to be on the battlefield.
If this was a war with other Magus organisations, with the Four Seasons Garden’s background, it would be impossible to be thoroughly annihilated. If he were to defect now, it would be an extremely foolish decision that would offend the Four Seasons Garden for no reason.
If the Third Great Magus War was to happen, the entire south coast would become a battlefield, and no area would be safe.
Decarte’s words were a reminder as well as a warning.
Great wars never began with both sides going all out. It would start with them using small groups and neutral parties to eliminate all other elements, and then they would be able to fight freely, without fear of others taking advantage of the situation.
Wandering Magi and indecisive small organisations were definitely the first to be used!
Leylin didn’t want to lose his backing and live a life where a crisis was always imminent.
As a result, it was necessary for him to return to the Four Seasons Garden.
Leylin was confident that he had hidden his skills well. In the eyes of the Magi in the Four Seasons Garden, Leylin was merely a newly advanced Magus who was talented in Potioneering and training!
If the leaders of Four Seasons Garden were stupid enough to get Leylin to be cannon fodder, then at the most, he would just leave and cut all connections between them.
Leylin was confident he would be able to leave the Four Seasons Garden’s headquarters without alerting the rank 2 Magi there.
After thinking this entire matter through, Leylin achieved a calm state of mind. Only then did he have the mood to survey his surroundings.
At this moment, Leylin discovered a difference in the Nightless City!
The Nightless City’s large gates had all been opened wide. Giants, which were usually rarely seen, could be seen wearing animal hides that did not fit them, and holding huge wooden stakes. They were entering the city in twos and threes.
With every step they took, the ground slightly shook.
The number of people in the Nightless City had increased by around 50%, causing a few passages to become congested.
However, whether they were regular humans, acolytes, or even some official Magi, their expressions were dark. In particular, there were a few official Magi who had a deep sense of distrust in their eyes when they saw unfamiliar Magi.
In the first zone of the Nightless City, shops that used to be bustling despite their unorganized placement saw a sharp decrease in price of raw materials. Defensive items, potions, and the like, on the other hand, were experiencing an increase in price. Many shops had already put up signs saying they were sold out.
Though Leylin had expected this, seeing this scene in person definitely had an effect on his mood.
All this was evidence of the scale of the impending war that would affect the entire Magus World. Leylin would definitely not be able to escape this!
