Chapter 9

Chapter 9

"Young Master! There is a city not far from here!" Greem's voice travelled over.
"Hmm"
"According to the markings on the map, we should have already entered Eastwoods Province. This is Roran City, which is situated at the provincial borders!"
The crashing sounds of things being rummaged sounded, as Fraser spoke.
"Roran City huh?" Leylin muttered to himself and adjusted the map stored in the A.I. Chip.
On the faint blue map, a red coloured line was linked with many cities. Roran City was towards the west of Extreme Night City, only several days' journey.
"After eight months of travelling, we are finally arriving huh?" Leylin felt a little rueful.
Along the way, Leylin has vent out all his stress of the journey on the three beautiful women, He has thoroughly enjoyed himself. He specifically asked his Slave knights to Make his Carriage as appealing to the bandits as possible.
Their carriage was attacked, God knows how many times and Leylin enjoy every moment of it. He had his knights kill Bandits and Beasts before him every time. Although At this moment his growth has been very slow but no matter how small it's still free growth and Leylin won't be nice either.
'I can increase my growth rate in Extreme Night city. 'Leylin looked out of the carriage to the gates of Roran city.
The black-coloured horse carriage entered the city under the respectful gaze of the guard.
To the people in Eastwoods Province, having a horse carriage, guards, and a maid, elevated Leylin to the level of idle nobility.
.....
Leylin hired a group of mercenaries and set out to Extreme Night City. At first he didn't felt a need to hire them, then he decided to hire them anyways . He cannot except 5 people to handle everything by themselves.
7 days later, the group safely arrived at Extreme Night City. Leylin after eating in a inn went to meet with Murphy.
Leylin rang the doorbell that hung on the door. A crisp ring of a bell could be heard, followed by the noise of scurrying footsteps.
"Hello! May I ask who you are? Do you have an appointment?" A meticulous looking butler appeared in front of Leylin.
"Leylin Farlier, I am here to visit the owner of this villa!" Leylin smiled.
The butler obviously looked distressed as he said, "Sir, as you know, my master, Murphy, is a renowned scholar. His schedule every day is extremely packed, perhaps..."
At this moment, a girl, who seemed like the maid, hurriedly ran over and whispered into the butler's ears.
The butler's complexion immediately changed as he bowed deeply, "Master invites you into the living room!"
Leylin smiled as he retrieved the energy waves he radiated.
As the living room came into view, it became quite obvious that it was a spacious house.
The decor in the room was extremely aesthetic. Although there were no dazzling golden or silver items or gems, these pieces had an aura of history and gave off a feeling of understated elegance.
Beside the fireplace in the living room, an old scholar with white brows and beard lounged on a dark red recliner.
The old man's eyes seemed muddy with only occasional traces of intelligence within.
The old man's originally squinted eyes opened upon seeing Leylin. He stood up and spread his arms in an embracing gesture, "Welcome, my young friend!"
Leylin went forward to hug the old man, "It is an honour to be able to meet you! I hope you like this present I brought for you!" He presented a exquisite hat to him.
"Alright, let's reintroduce ourselves! Murphy, level 3 acolyte! I have been a resident of Extreme Night City for 3 years now..." The old man's eyes showed signs of his reminiscing past events.
"So then, guest from afar, how about you?"
"Leylin Farlier, level 2 acolyte and wandering Magus. I have recently come to Extreme Night City and wish to reside here for several years." Leylin smiled and executed the bow between Magi.
"I detect signs of youth in your body. Being able to advance into level 2 acolyte at this age, you have a rather great aptitude!" Murphy sighed in admiration.
"I was just lucky..." Leylin demurred.
.....
He settled in Extreme Night City after Murphy's help , Weirdly enough he started to really like his attitude and they get along pretty well .He helped him a lot with settling in. They both share a lot of intellectual conversation too.
He started no business like Feng, but collected a lot of different samples of common herbs, Knowledge is never bad. He mostly focused on collecting materials to make the Magic Artifact.
One Day Murphy invited him to the City Lord's Banquet , He reluctantly agreed to come, He will need the use of all the Acolyte and Jackson in order to take down the monster here .It's good to be acquainted with them.
....
Leylin looked around. There were several other horse carriages in the vicinity. From time to time, gentlemen in lavish attire and ladies in low-cut ball gowns got down.
Murphy appeared to have quite a reputation amongst this circle of nobles based on the exuberant greetings Murphy happily responded to. They even chatted for a while before moving on.
Upon seeing Murphy, the guard at the door ran in immediately. Not long after, an extremely loud voice boomed from within.
"Murphy, my friend! You have finally arrived!" Accompanying the voice, a burly middle-aged man walked out of the castle.
Jackson gave Murphy a firm hug, "Little Jackson has always been asking about you!"
"I too miss that cute fellow. He is one of the smartest amongst all my students!" Murphy said.
"This is a good friend of mine from far away, Sire Leylin Farlier!" Murphy introduced Leylin to Viscount Jackson.
"Extreme Night City welcomes you!" Jackson sized up Leylin, and opened his broad shoulders, giving Leylin a hug.
Leylin's smile was somewhat stiff, which he quickly concealed.
"Very well! You should be a Knight too, right?" Lord Jackson was slightly astonished by Leylin's strength, and he looked upon Leylin now in a friendlier light.
"I only recently advanced, and am nowhere close to you!"
It was obvious that the large hall had been decorated for the occasion. The marbled floor was so smooth that it reflected the figures of people walking around on it.
A huge golden chandelier hung from the centre of the large hall. It was densely packed with lighted candles that shone through the surrounding coloured crystals letting out a colourful light.
At the side of this huge hall, was an orchestra of musicians wearing swallowtail coats and performing a slow enjoyable tune.
The area filled with long tables covered in white cloth. On these tables were gold and silver platters with various fruits and barbecued meat. On the side, there were even flasks and silver flagons, which emitted the strong aroma of wine.
Right in the centre was a huge open space where many of the nobility were waltzing to the music.
"It seems like a ball with a buffet on the side!" Leylin nodded his head.
"Go enjoy yourself! I'll have to say hello to a few old friends!" Murphy said to Leylin.
"Please do!" Leylin gestured with his head in assent. He then picked up a cup of grape wine and sat on a nearby sofa.
Not long after, he spotted Murphy together with a number of coquettish women in revealing outfits. They even entered a small side room.
"Do you mind if I sit beside you?" Just as Leylin was thinking such indecent thoughts, an elegant voice sounded beside him.
Leylin raised his head and saw a young lady wearing a purple gown. She a head of Black hair that fell to her shoulders like a waterfall; even her skin was a milky white. She looked very sexy.
Looking around, Leylin discovered that there was no one else near him. Leylin was quite good looking and kept himself well groomed, which naturally attracted a few young ladies.
"Of course, I don't mind!" Leylin smiled lightly and chatted happily with the young lady.
Leylin started having a fun conversation with her and she was laughing her head off.
"hahaha.. That really happened" she laughed holding her stomach and jiggling her huge assets
"Sorry to interrupt you Leylin! However, our friends are here!"
Murphy followed closely by several noble women with whom he had just tangled violently, walked over. Surprisingly, his attire was still extremely neat and tidy, which left Leylin rather shocked.
"Alright, I have to go!" Leylin made a helpless gesture and rose from the sofa.
"This…Sir! After talking for so long, I haven't asked for your name yet?" The young lady slapped her forehead.
"Leylin Farlier, just call me Leylin!"
"I…I'm Petrisha, my house is located at Youetr Main Street, 27. You're welcomed to come over to play anytime!"
Leylin went near her ears and whispered " I might just take you up on that offer, What about we met after party "
Petrisha blushed and lower her head.
"Haha, I never thought that you might be so sought after by ladies huh!" After the both of them left, Murphy made fun of Leylin.
"It's only a young lady who likes to listen to stories. Have they arrived?" Leylin asked.
"They're all here, followed me!"
Murphy said, and brought Leylin to a small room beside the dance hall.
There were several acolytes already waiting in the room. Leylin could sense that their energy waves made them either level 1 or level 2 acolytes.
Murphy obviously had the highest standing in this circle. When he entered, the acolytes all stood up to receive him.
"Alright!" Murphy swept his gaze around, "Let me introduce all of you to a new comrade! Leylin, he came from the west…."
After Leylin's self-introduction was over. They all started to have small talks
"Oh! Mayflower, my Mayflower!" At this moment, a guy's heavy panting sounded.
"Oh! Baby! So hot, so good!" A woman's murmuring groans followed soon after.
It seems like there was a couple in ardent passion in the room next door.
Black lines formed on Murphy's face. He promptly swung his hand and a faint energy membrane enveloped the room isolating the noise of the outside world. "This is an accident, an accident!" His old face actually reflected his embarrassment.
There was some time left until things get dangerous enough for a meeting to deal with the 'Mysterious Creature. Leylin left Abyssal bone forest , 6 months earlier than Feng but used up lots of time in his journey in order to increase his strength and hunt. He was around 3 months earlier than he was in Extreme night city. So the situation in the Extreme Night City has yet to become dire. It will take about 9 months to form a attack force against the mutated snake.
Leylin just casually talked with them and share some ideas, He then retreated back to the party and left with Patrisha to enjoy a wild night together.
