Chapter 172: One Year

After some fierce bargaining, Leylin finally bought the slaves for 18,000 magic stones.

And, in front of Lucia, Leylin planted his own unique soul imprint in the heads of these six slaves.

In other words, from now on, the fate of these slaves is in the hands of Lei Lin.

And, due to the shackles of the soul brand, these slaves must completely obey Leylin's orders, even if they are allowed to die, they must do so without hesitation!

Even, as long as Lei Lin had a thought, the heads of these slaves would explode like watermelons.

"Haha...... I'll go back first, so I won't bother you!"

After returning to the street where the villa was located, Clio looked at the two very beautiful female knights behind Leylin, with a narrow gaze on his face, and went directly back to his villa.

"This old fellow!" Leylin shook his head a little speechlessly, and then led the six men into his villa.

"This is my villa, you will live here from now on, go to the back and find a room by yourself, and my bedroom and basement are not allowed to be entered by anyone!

Lei Lin glanced back at the six newly bought slaves and commanded directly.

"Yes, master!" the six men began to disperse.

"Damion, you stay first!" Leylin took the initiative to stop the third-class apprentice.

"Master, what else do you have to order?" asked Damion respectfully.

"From now on. You are the steward of this villa, and you will manage it well in my absence, and. Regarding the villa's defensive witch array, I will also give you access to enter and exit later...... Your task is to clean up the whole villa, tidy up, and stock up on daily necessities......"

Leylin began to command casually.

In the city that never sleeps, a sorcerer-dominated trading center, there are many things that only wizards can do, ordinary knights or grand knights. If you don't even have a sea of consciousness, how can you manipulate spiritual power. Chanting mantras and more?

Therefore, if Lei Lin wants to maintain the operation of the villa after he is gone, an apprentice-level butler is indispensable.

"Also, tell me how you became a slave?" Leylin was a little curious.

When it comes to this. Damion's face darkened, his body trembled slightly, and a look of pain appeared.

Obviously, that past was a very painful experience for him.

But because of the control of the soul brand, he still let him say it: "I am from Iron Castle and was born in an ordinary town...... Later, I was lucky enough to check out the wizarding talent, and my mentor directly accepted the Shadow of the Bright Moon. Adults you may not have heard of it, but it's just a small wizarding organization...... Although it was a bit painful to have to cooperate with the mentor from time to time to do some human body realizations, I was lucky enough to survive. and became a third-class apprentice......"

When Damion said this, his expression was quite normal, but then a look of fear appeared.

And then ...... It's war!That's a damn war!As the overlord-level power in our region, the Wetland Garden, began to support the expansion of the small organizations that depended on it, and just because our leader clearly resisted, the Shadow of the Bright Moon was just used to open the knife...... In the midst of war. My mentor and many seniors were killed in battle, and I myself was taken prisoner. Ended up being a slave......"

Lei Lin nodded, in the unwritten rules of the wizarding world, wizards generally cannot capture apprentices as slaves at will, otherwise the social order would have collapsed long ago.

But there is one kind of wizard who is clearly not protected by laws and conventions, and that is prisoners of war!

Prisoners of war from major academies and wizard apprentices from other races are the main source of wizard slaves in Sleepless City!

Leylin looked at Damion, who was a little sad and angry, and suddenly felt a little afraid.

If it weren't for the stubborn resistance of the Black Bone Forest to the enemy's attack, he would have been lucky enough to escape from the battlefield in the first place, and it would have been his fate to be killed by an official wizard or captured as a prisoner of war, and finally sold into slavery.

"That's why I'm so desperate for power! Only when I really have my own power can I hold my future firmly in my hands!"

Leylin waved his hand and told Damion to step back first.

"You go down first to familiarize yourself with the environment, I'm going to go out and come back in the evening......"

......

The villa rented by Lei Lin was very large, and there were rooms specially set aside for servants to live in, so it didn't look crowded at all after six people lived in it, but seemed a little more energetic.

Damion also showed the appearance of a good butler, and kept Raelin's villa in good order, so that Raylin could safely abandon his chores and concentrate on the ancient potion of Maria's tears in the basement.

A few days later, Leylin went to the old witch's shop alone, handed over the two tears of Mary from the contract, and agreed on the time of the next transaction.

After receiving the ancient potion, the old witch tried her best to hide it, but she still let Leylin notice a trace of ecstasy on her face.

Moreover, the old witch said that she could handle more souls next month, and asked Leylin to get ready.

It seems that in order to get more cherished potions, she has already prepared a little bit at a costume.

For this temporary ally, Leylin expressed temporary satisfaction.

Although I don't know what makes the other party's need for potions so urgent, this situation is also more in his interests.

After both parties reached a satisfactory consensus, Lei Lin returned to the villa, and after arranging the affairs of the villa for the last period of time, he came to the city alone and flew back to the headquarters of the Four Seasons Garden in the Dragon's Crown Nighthawk.

He joined the Four Seasons Garden, in addition to the fixed share of resources of those wizards, the huge number of books and materials in the Four Seasons Garden was also an aspect that made him extremely greedy.

But as a wizard in the organization, he certainly can't stay in the city that never sleeps forever until he retires.

This month is due to the fact that the tasks are very easy and can be completed in a few days, so there is a lot of leisure to return to the city that never sleeps for a vacation.

Now, he had to return to the Garden of the Seasons to take on his monthly tasks, which would go on unless he wanted to give up his share and other powers.

If he was an ordinary wizard and had to slowly accumulate enough subject knowledge and resources for his own promotion through guò method, it would take at least a hundred years!

But Lei Lin is different, not only does he have a high-level meditation method, he has a clear understanding of the path before the third-level wizard, and he also has extremely rich reserve resources!

No one has foreign wealth or wealth, horses have no night grass and no fat, he has never been a rule-abiding person.

Lei Lin now has two supply lines of resources, one is from the Four Seasons Garden, although the amount is small, but it is better than the steady and continuous.

The other is the dark wizard organization he just joined, although it is a bit dangerous, but it is also very rewarding.

With this light and dark line, the speed at which he accumulates and improves will far exceed the expectations of others.

"Next, it's a low-key accumulation, and wait for the second jump of the bloodline......

Leylin's plan for the next few years is extremely clear.

At this time, he was like the dragon-crowned nighthawk under him was about to take off, silently accumulating strength in secret, looking forward to soaring into the sky in the future!

......

Time flies by like the wind, and before you know it, more than a year has disappeared without a trace.

The mountain where the headquarters of the Four Seasons Garden is located is still the same as before, it is still standing tall, and many wizards are like ants in and out of the passage inside the mountain.

"Lei Lin, I'm very interested in the ecological cycle theory you tried to use in the secret realm before, how about discussing it together?"

At this moment, in the rest area, a male wizard with fiery red hair said to Leylin.

"Of course, I have a lot of interest in Wizard Tommans' experience of cultivating lava goldfish......"

Lei Lin's appearance at this time was almost the same as a year ago, only the black depth in his eyes seemed to be deeper.

"So, I'm going to go to the library, we can talk there!" Leylin invited the red-haired Tommans.

"Of course, I'm familiar with the name of your Son of the Library......" Tommans said with some amusement.

For his ridicule, Lei Lin just smiled softly, and didn't pay much attention to it.

In the past year or so, he has been very low-key most of the time, silently completing tasks, exchanging resources for regular times every month, and living in seclusion every day.

And the place with the most delays is the large library in the Four Seasons Garden.

The Four Seasons Garden is a super force much bigger than the Black Bone Forest Academy, and the library has a very rich collection.

Moreover, Lei Lin is now an official wizard, with a different identity, and can see more information than an apprentice.

Although some high-level subject knowledge and potion formulas definitely require corresponding contribution points in exchange, some of the materials developed by the Four Seasons Garden for free also made Lei Lin feel that he benefited a lot.

To this end, it took him more than half a year to store all the information that could be collected into the chip, which greatly enriched the database of the chip.

In order not to let others discover that their behavior is abnormal, although the current Lei Lin has recorded all the materials in the library, he still goes there to soak whenever he has time, and for this reason, he does not hesitate to refuse the ambiguous invitations of many beautiful female wizards in the organization, and many titles such as "incomprehensible wood" and "son of the library" have gradually spread.

The library of the Four Seasons Garden is built in the belly of a large mountain, and apprentices come and go from time to time.

Naturally, Leylin and Tommans, as official wizards, were treated better, and were given a secluded secret room for conversation, complete with soft sofas and various snacks. (To be continued)
