”You want to work for me?” Leo was dumbfounded as he stared straight at Steve's eyes, wondering if he heard him correctly or not.
He was just preparing to leave towards the Will City a few minutes ago, but then he was suddenly stopped by Steve who called out to his name. No, he didn't call out his name as he doesn't know what it was yet, rather he screamed, ”Mister Slave Hunter!”
Because of that, Big Rat and the other Bandits who were still busily counting their gold coins in excitement and joy can't help themselves staring in his direction for a few seconds before frantically running inside the forest.
”Yes, I want to work for you, even if you only pay me 10 copper coins every single day.” Steve said.
”Nah, I'd rather not,” Leo didn't hesitate to refuse. He mounted on his horse and said, ”And besides, what job would I need you for?”
”I can be your maid? No, I mean your Butler! I can also cook for you, do all sorts of chores, maybe hunt for food if ever you're feeling hungry, I can handle ordinary Magical Beast since I'm strong enough to hunt them alone. Oh, maybe you need a cannon fodder. Wait, that's so stupid of me... Yes, I can be your chauffeur! You are out adventuring, right? Thus, a chauffeur would be good for you!” Steve quickly started proposing jobs that he could do, without feeling a tinge of any shame or embarrassment. He was basically showing how thick his skin was.
Leo's eyes can't help twitching while listening to Steve's words, ”I don't need a Butler, since I long already have one and you will also not be able to replace his place. I don't need a chef, a hunter, nor do I even need to have a stupid cannon fodder. And lastly, where the heck did you even get the idea of becoming my chauffeur? Do you see any carriages around me?!”
”You can turn one of those unknown entities into one, just like how you turn one into a throne.” Steve immediately answered.
”You...” Leo was immediately left speechless as to how thoroughly Steve has prepared in his goal of wanting to work for him. Though it only lasted for half a second later as he realized the benefits of his proposal. He thought, ”I could indeed use a chauffeur, as it is so troublesome to ride on a horse, hmm...”
Finally, Leo accepted Steve's proposal on becoming his chauffeur, but in one condition, ”I will accept your proposal to become my chauffeur, but on the condition that you will never ever question what I want you to do. If I say that you drive the carriage into a sea of flames, don't ask, just do it. If I say that you drive it on a mountain of swords, don't ask, just do it! Am I clear?!”
”Okay!” Steve didn't bother thinking about it as he decided to immediately accept Leo's conditions.
”Good!” Leo said before jumping down the horse and summoning a Nature Elemental. He then quickly sent a command to the Nature Elemental to turn into a carriage.
Whoooosh!
The Nature Elemental soon after turned into a small wooden carriage.
”You know what to do,” Leo said before entering the Nature Elemental who has turned into a carriage.
”Yes, Mister Slave Hunter!” Steve nodded his head delightfully as he quickly runs towards the horse and pulled its leash. He then tied it on the carriage before jumping on the chauffeur's seat.
”Where are we heading, Mister Slave Hunter?” Steve tap on the carriage.
”Go to the direction of the Yellow Forest.” Leo soon replied inside the carriage. He then quickly added, ”And also, don't call me Mister Slave Hunter, call me Loki!”
”Okay, Mister Loki!” Steve said before urging the horse to go towards the direction of the Yellow Forest.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Leo was spending his time studying the Nature Elemental in a carriage form, trying to understand something about it.
”Unlike that time I turned the Wind Elemental into a flying sword and rode on it, the Nature Elemental on the other hand seems to not have any set duration, just like that Earth Elemental on a throne form a while ago. So, does this mean that depending on the item or object I want the Elementals to turn into, it wouldn't have any set duration?” Leo thought to himself before summoning an Earth Elemental.
”Turn yourself into a sword,” Leo ordered the Earth Elemental.
Whooosh!
Without wasting any time, the Earth Elemental quickly turned itself into an Earth Sword, which Leo immediately grabbed.
”Then let's try the Wind Elemental,” Leo said before quickly summoning a Wind Elemental. As soon as it was summoned, he immediately told it to become a sword, just like the Earth Elemental.
Whooosh!
The Wind Elemental immediately turned into a Wind Sword.
