Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)

Leylin again immersed himself into the continuous cycle of research and potioneering, Since he has already refined the Bloodline, He also started to brew Serenity Potion.

Like this days passed one by one, Leylin would experiment on his hypothesis and continue to improve his potioneering skill, as he waited for the A. I. Chip to finish it analysis on Knights path.

He commanded A. I. Chip to give priority to the completion of this task. One day as Leylin was making his way from his room to Academy Restaurant to get something to eat.

* Pa! * A white letter fell onto the ground. It seemed like someone paid Leylin a visit earlier. However, after seeing him concentrate on his experiment, they did not dare intrude, hence leaving a simple note.

" So, the time has finally come "

Leylin opened the letter be known of the content.

"You are inviting your own doom, Mate !"

Leylin raised his somewhat pale finger, directing scribbling on the white note.

Every time his finger drew across, red characters would be left on the note.

There was a simple spell cast on this paper note by Jayden, which could transmit some simple information. Of course, it was only usable in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy area, widely loved by acolytes.

The recipient's reply was extremely quick. Very soon, Leylin met up with Jayden inside of a room in the restaurant.

Jayden now seemed to be gloomier. Looking at the area of his severed limb, Leylin noticed that a slim tiny arm had regrown and could not help but laugh.

"I have not thanked you regarding the Flourishing Flower!"

Jayden sat on the white chair, raising his cup to Leylin.

This gesture was somewhat impolite. Leylin frowned internally, yet not did not outwardly speak much about it. He is a dead man anyways.

After looking for a chair to sit down, he ignored the delicacy and aroma displayed in front of him. Leylin smiled in sincerity, "Regarding the information of official Magus that Professor Dorotte had exchanged with me, I should be the one expressing my thanks!"

"Leylin, Professor Dorotte had long since told me that the information he had given you, a major portion of it was missing. There is no way that it could be reliable for advancing into an official Magus. It is because you also want to look for other traces that you are eager to go exploring, isn't it?"

"Of course, no matter if it's the academy or the families, their conditions are too much!"

Leylin interlocked his fingers.

"I just happen to have a trace of remnants regarding official Magus…." Jayden added.

After listening to Leylin's reply, Jayden's smile grew even wider.

"Remnants?"

Jayden explained to Leylin, "The power of the Lighthouse of the Night is still formidable. Under the mediation of that lord Magus, the Sage Gotham Hut and the Whitewoods Castle would not dare to exact revenge hastily; not unless they wish to be destroyed!"

"On the contrary, with the passing of time, the treaty was agreed at a span of 20 years. My situation consists of constant dangers. Hence, for this, I have to retaliate somehow, to ensure myself with the ability to protect my life!"

"Becoming an official Magus?" Leylin's Smiled.

"Indeed! To go against an official Magus, one would only have the ability after becoming an official Magus!" A longing expression streaked across Jayden's face, "Once I become an official Magus, why would I still be afraid of the enemy's retaliation?"

The protection of the academy and the professors were external factors, which could be removed at any given time. Only the strength that belongs to oneself is the most reliable factor!

After understanding the situation briefly, Leylin began to relax, slowly reclining in his chair.

"So then, I have two questions. Where are the remnants? Why me?"

Jayden inhaled a lungful of air and knew that if he did not reveal any information, Leylin would naturally not take the bait.

"I cannot reveal the location of the remnants. However, I can tell you the general location. It's near Zither Moon Mountain Plains…."

"As for why I sought you out?"

Jayden smiled wryly, "Zither Moon Mountain Plains is littered with poisonous plants and miasma. A Potioneering acolyte needs to come along, to ensure our safety… Right now in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, the person I am familiar with, who is also a level 3 acolyte, is only you…."

Back when Abyssal Bone Forest Academy had thousands of acolytes, there were plenty of Potioneering acolytes around. Hence, Jayden could take his time to choose.

However, after the bloodbath, Jayden's choice was extremely limited, so much so that the only option left was—Leylin!

" Zither Moon Mountain Plain! " Leylin act surprised.

" Do you know about it? " Jayden asked raising his guard.

" Yes, I have been to this place once. Just before returning to the academy I was there for sometime in a small town called Zither Moon Town. I was there to do some research on some herbs and poisonous plants there that can have some Potioneering application. It is indeed a dangerous place" Leylin said and put on a difficult expression.

Jayden looked at him for a moment and nodded.

' I don't need anything from them really, but that Bosain is loaded with artifacts and Techniques, his lilytell family also has a mastery in Strengthening and alchemy. As a direct descendant, he must have those technique. I can take them all, I don't plan to kill him so there is no need to worry for Lilytell family revenge, at most they will be pissed. As for the other two, I can make do with some more experimental bodies '

Thoughts spun in Leylin's head, yet on the surface, he looked hesitant.

"The war has just ended. Right now it's too dangerous to leave the academy…."

"According to my sources, the remnants are of an official Magus. There could very well be information and resources on advancing into an official Magus. Isn't that what you need right now? Moreover, as long as you agree to participate, the reward aspects…"

After looking at Leylin's expression, Jayden felt hurried, hence, he continued to elaborate, even adding a few bargaining chips.

Leylin put on a struggling expression, finally agreeing.

...

Early in the morning

Leylin and Jayden rode on two black horses each, leaving the compound of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy under the rays of the dawning sun.

Before leaving, Leylin looked at the distant graveyard of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy for one last time.

The grey granite construction seemed to be littered with cracks, as before. However, it might just have been a misconception, but those cracks were seemingly smaller now.

It was as if this massive graveyard was a living organism amidst the processes of recovery.

"The next time I return, there will surely be many changes!"

After that last glance at the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, Leylin disappeared into the dark forest.

...

Five days later, within the Poolfield Kingdom, on the outskirts of a province in the west.

On the road, 3 acolytes were waiting.

* Ta Ta Ta! * As the 3 people looked away into the distance, two figures on horseback appeared on the horizon.

Those two riders stopped in front of the 3 people, revealing the countenance that belonged to Leylin and another unfamiliar acolyte.

"Leylin, let me introduce to you, this is Mister Bosain, from the Lilytell family…."

The stranger's voice belonged to Jayden, as he introduced them to Leylin. To avoid trouble, Jayden had masked his appearance.

"Also, this is Shaya and Roth!"

Jayden introduced the group to Leylin. Bosain had golden bright hair and wore silver robes — appearing dressed very grandly. If not for the acolyte mark, Leylin would even think that it was some professor who joined Jayden's group.

"Lilytell family one of the three major family backing Abyssal bone forest academy!" Leylin outwardly displayed a shocked expression with a tinge of envy, satisfying the ego of Bosain.

However deep down, he had some villainous thoughts.

As for Shaya, she was a fire-haired female acolyte,

As for the last member of the small party—Roth—he was the archetype male of the West. His stature was tall and big, taller than Leylin by half a head, his face containing a simple and honest expression.

These 3 people had the energy waves of level 3 acolytes. Bosain and Shaya even had the aura of magic artifacts on their body, as detected by the A.I. Chip.

"Hello! I'm Leylin, a Potioneering acolyte, I hope that…"

Leylin introduced himself to the rest.

"The Zither Moon Mountain Plains is perilous, however, I have heard of your reputation being only lower to the Potioneering genius Merlin! I believe that you would ensure our logistics and safety. . . "

Bosain smiled amiably at Leylin, giving a feeling of warmth.

"I'll try my best!" Leylin nodded his head.

"Alright! It's getting late, let's set off!"

Leylin nodded his head, and the five of them began their journey.

The Zither Moon Mountain Plains was situated on the western borders of the Poolfield Kingdom. It was the boundary between the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy and the Sage Gotham Hut.

These two forces had just ended a huge war and Jayden even carried a blood debt since he killed the enemy's genius. Once this party was discovered, they would definitely have problems.

No matter if it was Leylin or Jayden, or Bosain and the rest, they were all intelligent and conscientious people. Moreover at crucial moments, they had the courage to fight for their lives.

Along the way, the five of them changed their travelling outfits into those of young, noble masters and mistress, continuously travelling along the western borders.

Without a doubt, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that knowledge and power were wielded in the hands of nobles. In the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, most acolytes were born of nobility and had no need to learn how to dress as one.
