Chapter 107: Evangelions evaluation about Leo (1/2)
(Author's Note: Please excuse me for the abnormal time of releasing of updates up until this time. Currently, I'm now slowly getting out of the Author's Block, hopefully soon. So, the time of release is now slowly being put back into how it used to be in preparation, and hopefully the 2 chapters updates a day would follow soon. THANK YOU FOR READING AND SUPPORTING MY FIRST 'SERIOUS' NOVEL. HAVE A HAPPY READING!)
At this moment, Leo finally arrived at Sword and Magic.
Quickly disembarking from the public carriage along with the dozens of net bags with the Magical Beast bodies and his hidden treasures, Leo could only shake his head helplessly. He doesn't have any choice at this moment but to go back and forth again and again in order for him to bring his harvest inside Sword and Magic.
Fortunately though, while Leo was carrying his harvest inside of Sword and Magic shop, Evangelion was coincidentally walking around the store too, checking out the shop's stocks. Seeing him carrying dozens of net bags, the latter quickly offered his help.
Soon after, Leo along with Evangelion was now carrying the dozens of net bags towards Madam Silva's office.
Though Leo could only carry 6 net bags while Evangelion could carry 18 net bags at the same time due to the Support Combination Magic spell that he had casted.
Leo really envied Evangelion's Support Combination Magic Spell at this moment. Actually, he was also using a Magic spell to easily carry 6 net bags by just simply reducing the weight of the net bags, but Evangelion on the other hand was actually just making the 18 net bags float up in the air while he was walking.
The difference between the normal casting of Magic spell and a Combination Magic spell was obvious just by watching the two of them. Normal Magic spell was also useful and strong, but the combination of two different Magic spells into one was obviously a lot stronger and more useful.
Combination Magic spells were something Leo had thought of doing, too. In fact, he had already thought of this theory yesterday in the villa's library. Combining two different Support Magic spells to cast a much more useful Support Magic spell.
Unfortunately, though, Leo wasn't able to have the free time to learn how to combine two Magic circles into one Magic circle, which was what he needed in order for him to cast a Combination Magic spell.
Well, teacher Marvin might teach about it next week. So Leo wasn't feeling in a rush. If teacher Marvin would also not teach about that, then he will just read books about how to combine 2 different Magic spells into 1 single Magic spell, problem solve.
”I guess you have another bountiful harvest this time again!” Evangelion can't help but to suddenly say. This was Leo's third time, after all, selling plenty of harvest to the Sword and Magic. He was also aware, too, that inside these seemingly unimportant Magical Beast bodies were a real treasure.
That was the sole reason why the transaction was always done within Madam Silva's office. Only the very important transactions can be done through the office of the Head, such as Leo selling large pieces of Mana stones.
Businesses such as Leo's were something that Evangelion should actually handle. But, since Leo was a VVVIP of all the branches of Sword and Magic in the Silver Kingdom due to Madam Silva's backing, such treatment of having the transaction in Madam Silva's office was obviously a given.
”Hehehe, I'm just lucky!” Leo humbly replied. He was indeed lucky. If he didn't coincidentally choose the mission of cleaning the West Sewer Management that one time, then he wouldn't have found out about such a high rewarding mission. Not only did he earn himself a generous amount of points for each Magical Beast he had killed, but he also got to keep all of his kills, hence giving him the opportunity to earn more.
Leo had also unexpectedly stumbled in a cave where the real treasure was hidden, too. If he didn't follow that Sewer Rat before, then he wouldn't be able to know about the 12 pieces of large Mana stones' existence and also the secret operation of the Black organization.
So, what happened to Leo could indeed only be described as him just being lucky.
”What is your secret?” Evangelion suddenly asked, ”When I was still at your age while studying at Dragon Horn Empire's Red Dragon Mage Academy, missions with such bountiful rewards was something hard to find, especially in the case of a miscellaneous type of mission. Bountiful rewards could even be closely described as non-existing in such type of missions like yours!”
”I actually don't know too, hehehe...” Leo could only awkwardly reply.
Him choosing such a mission with bountiful rewards was actually not something he had thought he would even stumble himself upon. Everything was just nothing but a coincidence. From finding an easy miscellaneous mission to earning bountiful reward; from chasing after a Sewer Rat to finding the 12 pieces of large Mana stones and discovering the Black organization's secret operation later on. Everything wasn't something in his calculation. So, he naturally doesn't have any idea on how he had done such a thing.
”Eh? This is already your third time, right? There should be some sort of pattern that you have noticed, did you?” Evangelion quickly reasoned out. He still didn't believe Leo's answer. In his opinion, Leo was obviously hiding something.
One time could be called a coincidence, and a second time could be described as Leo just being lucky. But surely a third time is not something that he could still be described as mere coincidence and luck, right?
”I really don't know...” Leo answered.
