A Meeting
No matter how great the Four Seasons Garden’s secret plane was, it did not belong to him. Therefore, Leylin did not want to reveal his trump cards for the sake of it.
Also, as a newly advanced Magus, it was just a pipe dream for him to own a secret plane all to himself.
Apart from these couple stray thoughts, Leylin did not have any better methods that he wanted to employ.
……
Seven days later, the crisp caw of a Nighthawk sounded. Leylin sat on the back of a Dragon Crown Nighthawk while flying back to the Nightless City.
The missions to maintain the secret plane were indeed some of the most popular missions.
Leylin and Oak only spent seven days to cleanse the eastern part of the secret plane. Not only was the disease cured, they managed to drive away droves of ferocious beasts.
After which, Leylin and the others who, had nothing else left to do, were sent out of the secret plane. On each of their tokens, there was a huge number of contribution points added.
“I can try my earlier plan now. Also, I need to find several more servants. If I were to do everything myself, it would be a waste of my time…” Leylin thought.
After a span of four months, the backlash from consuming the Darkness crystals disappeared. However, the Four Seasons Garden’s supply was far from enough, so Leylin could only shift his attention to that old witch in the Nightless City.
He remembered that the old witch’s shop had a number of good items.
The sea of people in the Nightless City was the same as before. Leylin flew directly to the passage that hosted the revered magicians and showed his ring to the guards, before entering the city under the respectful bows of the guards.
Suddenly, Leylin’s robes shook. A green light forcefully radiated through his robes.
“En?”
Leylin furrowed his brow, and withdrew a pocket sized diary.
A green secret imprint flashed with light, and from it, the voice of an old lady sounded. “Hey Leylin, are you here yet?”
From the tone of the voice, Leylin could detect a sense of urgency.
Ever since he had handed over a copy of his research on spirits from when he was an acolyte to the old witch, she had proved to have an extreme interest in it. Furthermore, she even given her secret imprint to Leylin.
During these past few months, she seemed to have gotten some progress in her experiment, but she was caught in a bottleneck. Hence, she had been continuously sending messages to Leylin.
It was a pity, however, that Leylin had been inside the Four Seasons Garden brewing potions to exchange for contribution points, so he hadn’t paid her any heed.
However, this old witch was extremely patient, and had been sending Leylin a message every few days.
“What is it? Didn’t I say that I would try my best to come over as quickly as possible?”
Leylin said to the secret imprint.
At the same time, his footsteps halted, and changed directions towards a deserted alley. He also applied a layer of isolation magic on his body.
“This time, I have amassed many items. Do you remember the crystallised Darkness energy particles? I have a total of 500 grams here, and I swear that you won’t regret it…”
Knowing Leylin’s temperament, the old witch hurriedly tossed out her bargaining chip.
“500 grams?” Leylin’s brows relaxed, and the original feeling of tension disappeared.
With that many Darkness crystals,combined with the ones he had been saving, it would definitely bring his elemental essence conversion up by another notch.
However, the Darkness crystals were not almighty. According to Leylin’s estimation and the A.I. Chip’s calculations, if these crystals were to bring his elemental essence conversion up to 70%, then it would already be a godsend.
What’s more, the backlash would be extremely terrifying. If his vitality was not superior to other normal magicians, he wouldn’t dare to be this crazy.
“Yeah, this time I spared no expense, and even owe some old freaks a couple of favours now… Do you remember our previous transaction? Give me the latter half of the information, and all of these crystals will be yours. Also, there is some prospect of the things that you mentioned to me before happening. As for the details, wait until you come to my shop…”
The old witch’s voice gradually faded, but Leylin could tell that she had a certain amount of confidence.
“Okay, wait for me. I’ll be right there!” Leylin closed the diary, and hastened his footsteps.
Within Nightless City, Elm Street #231!
“Hehehe… You actually got here so quickly. It seems like you’re also anxious to get the items I have!”
Seeing Leylin entering the shop, the witch immediately closed the main doors. It seemed that she was prepared to stop operating her business for the rest of the day.
