CHAPTER XXIV

The next day, at dawn, Leo first checked to see if there was anything unusual in the magic circle he had set up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After checking and disarming the magic circle, Leo went back to his room and continued to hatch the egg.

"Is that still the case? It's a real time ...... hatching. ”

Soon after, Leo finished transmitting his magic and looked at the egg in his hand, which still showed no signs of trying to break the shell.

"Forget it...... Regardless of it, let's cultivate it first. ”

After thinking about it, the hatching of an ordinary egg is not completed in an instant, let alone this kind of egg that may hatch a pet with combat or support abilities. So, Leo stopped paying attention to it and let it be.

Then he went to bed, sat cross-legged, and began the one thing that every magician does, or does do it...... Meditation.

Actually, it is not said that only magicians can meditate, and some other professions also meditate, but why do magicians have to meditate? As a magician who uses the elements and makes them combine into powerful magic, it is necessary to know the elements. Through meditation, you can expand your consciousness so that you can perceive the elements and be able to strengthen your awareness of the elements. Second, speed up the recovery of mana. Since when meditating, the magician will gather the elements with a relatively high affinity, as if there is a shield of the elements around him, which speeds up the recovery of mana.

So, now Leo is meditating. It's just that his meditation ...... It's not perfect.

"Still unskilled...... There's really no way to get started with meditation quickly. ”

Leo stepped out of bed and stretched.

There are three stages of meditation. In the first stage, free elements are perceived. In the second stage, the elements of the object are perceived. The third stage is the perception of the elements of life. There are three stages in total, and Leo is now in the first stage, the perception of the free elements around him.

After sobering up, Leo washed up a little, got dressed and packed his luggage. He opened his room, walked to the door of Chrissy's room next door, and knocked lightly.

"Chrissy, get up. ”

"Okay, here we go. ”

It didn't take long for the door of the room to be opened,

"What's the matter, Mr. Leo?"

I saw Chrissy, who had sorted out her makeup, standing quietly at the door.

"Let's go down for breakfast first...... After eating, get ready to go. ”

"Okay, please wait. ”

It wasn't long before Chrissy came out of the room, went downstairs with Leo, sat down on the edge, and began to eat their breakfast.

Just as they had finished their breakfast and were still resting, a man who looked like a noble son suddenly appeared and walked into the inn with two guards.

"Oh, this beautiful young lady, my name is William Ann, may I ask what is your name?"

When the noble man entered the door, he glanced at the two Leos sitting on the edge and saw Chrissy, I should say. Then he walked over and greeted Chrissy with a very elegant aristocratic salute.

"Oh...... My name is Chrissy Kath. ”

Chrissy was a little surprised, but she seemed to be used to it. In addition to being surprised, he still returned the salute very politely.

"Oh, Chrissy Kath? Oh...... What a beautiful name, can I share breakfast with you, a beautiful lady?"

He still showed his graceful posture, and politely asked Chrissy.

"Alas, this ...... This, Mr. Leo, help me. ”

Chrissy doesn't seem to be good at dealing with this kind of direct person, and she is a little troubled. So, seeing that Leo was still eating breakfast peacefully, Chrissy threw the burden to Leo.

"This ...... Well, Mr. William, don't you see that this young lady is very troubled, and if you want to make a good impression on her, it is better to take it slowly. ”

Seeing Chrissy throw the burden to himself, Leo had no choice but to help Chriss, who called him a hired mercenary. So, Leo pulled William aside and whispered a few words beside him.

"Really? So...... It was indeed me who was abrupt, Miss Chrissy, and excuse me for being rude. ”

William thought for a while, although he didn't want to let go, but if he continued like this, it would indeed leave a bad impression on her, as Leo said. So, he decided to show his demeanor in front of her first and make a good impression on her now. As for Leo...... He just thought he was just a guard, and there was nothing to worry about. Even though...... Leo's looks are very competitive.

So, he apologized generously to Chrissy.

"Where, Mr. William, actually, there is something wrong with me, you don't have to look like this. ”

Chrissy was still like that, and accepted the other party's apology very seriously. Seeing this, Leo just sighed, this woman...... Now the work has to be increased again.

"No wonder, the city lord is in such a hurry to give me the reward, it turns out that it is because ...... This task is so troublesome. ”

Leo remembered how happy the castle lord had been.

"There's a mission that matches my strength, and it's really a lie, that guy just wants to take revenge on me. ”

Leo was annoyed with Og. However, now that he has accepted his assignment, he can't give up. Because Leo hates it, hates people who break their promises. So, Leo didn't want to be like that, very much.

After a while, when they had had enough rest, they returned to their rooms, picked up their bags, and walked out of the inn.

"What did you say!

William shouted loudly in a room as he listened to his subordinates' reports on Leo's whereabouts.

"Yes, young master. Soon after you are gone, I will go and monitor their whereabouts as you have commanded. They had stayed at the inn for a while before leaving the inn, and were probably out of town by now. ”

The subordinate was half-kneeling, reporting to William the whereabouts of Leo and the others.

"Well, then, I'm going to go with them!"

"Young Master...... Have you forgotten? The lord has cast a magic mark on your body, and if you don't follow the route he has arranged, the lord will find out in no time. ”

"Ah...... That old man, damn it, I can't help it, Sam, go and keep them after me, and report to me at all times. ”

William waved his hand and motioned for Sam to go out.

"Yes...... Master. ”

With that, he withdrew, leaving William alone in the room.

"Hmph, I'm not going to give up. ”

William looked out the window and remembered Chrissy.

At this time, outside the city of Vigo, in a forest not far from the city, an elf lurked in one of the trees. She was the one who wanted Leo to pick up the Silkgrass on the cliff. She followed in the footsteps of Leo and the others, though she couldn't get into the human city on the way. However, with Leo's footprints along the way, she still followed Leo and the others all the way here.

"This human ...... Where the hell do you want to go?"

Elena crouched on the branch, thinking about how to get her hands on the Bis grass in Leo's hand.

"Although on the way, I tried to get the Bisi grass in my hands while he was not paying attention, but ...... This human is really sharp, and I wonder if this guy is a beast...... Such a keen sense. Several times when he wanted to do it, he noticed it. If this continues...... There is not enough time, so let's trade directly with him, and it will only be a waste of time to continue like this. ”

In order not to waste time, Elena decided to make a head-to-head deal with Leo.

"Hmm...... So, is he a newcomer who has only recently become a mercenary?"

At the headquarters of the Red Shadow Mercenary Group, in the room of the leader of the mercenary group, the head of the group, Brenda, looked at the information collected by his mercenaries in his hand and asked questions.

"Yes...... Head. To be precise, he was a rookie who had just become a mercenary a few days earlier. ”

That day, I saw one of the mercenaries when Leo clashed with that mercenary, and now he is standing at the head of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Regiment...... Brenda in front of him.

"Very good...... You've done a good job this time, so go down and claim your reward. ”

After Brenda learned the information he had brought, she sent him away.

"Yes! Thank you, Captain. ”

He bowed respectfully to Brenda and exited the room excitedly.

"A young mercenary close to the Holy Rank, this is a good opportunity for our mercenary group to grow, but...... Those two guys should know about it, right......?

Brenda thought that if he could have this mercenary in his mercenary group, he would definitely become stronger, and maybe he could become a famous mercenary group on the mainland, and he was very excited. It's just that since he knows, presumably other mercenary groups will also know, not to mention the rivals of the two competing mercenary groups of them.

"Someone!"

"Yes, Commander. ”

"You go and tell the people in the mercenary group that if you see a mercenary named 'Hermit' in the future, try to pull him into our mercenary group...... Do you know at any cost?"

Brenda made the big decision to recruit Leo at all costs, much to the shock of the mercenary he had called.

"...... at any cost? Oh...... Yes, Commander!"

Then, under Brenda's watchful eye, he recovered, quickly exited the room, and hurried to inform the rest of the mercenary group.

"Such a good talent...... How can I let you get it? Black wolf, Blue Snow. ”

Brenda remembered the two mercenary groups that were opposed to her own mercenary group.

"As long as you can recruit him...... We're going to surpass you, and this place will become our territory, and you're going to get out of here. ”

Brenda looked at the headquarters of his mercenary group outside the window, the crowded appearance of the group of mercenaries, and ...... in his heart There's something called ambition that's burning.
