Chapter 384: On the way to Honoris City (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
To be more precise, what Leo had seen in front of him was no longer a territory that is still appropriate to be called a city, but rather a small desert made out of a variety of colors of sands and with not a single remnant or ruins of the Will City remaining to be seen, unlike the White River City.
Though it only lasted for half a minute for him to understand why it was different from the other cities.
First and foremost, the Will City was the very first territory of the Silver Kingdom to be abandoned during the time that the Kingdom Protection Array was destroyed by the Black organization.
Second, unlike the White River City that was able to become an Outpost to connect to the Crystal Skull City, the Will City, on the other hand, wasn't able to be successfully made into an Outpost to connect to the Honoris City since the Williams Noble Household unexpectedly turned out to be a part of the Black organization.
Third, with how much time has passed already from the moment it was abandoned until when the Black organization finally decided to blow up the Lesser Chaos Magic Array hidden secretly, the Magical Beast has certainly turned this place into an almost worse than those of ruins.
Lastly, the Chaos Mana around this place has been rampaging for more than 3 days now, so the Will City, which was worse than those of ruins, doesn't have that much to destroy remaining anymore, so it was quickly turned into a desert by the Chaos Mana.
Shaking his head, Leo soon put such thoughts to the back of his mind. How the Will City has turned into its current state right now wasn't important for him. What he should focus on right now should be quickly turning the Chaos Mana into Chaos Orbs before anything wrong could happen.
But first, he needs to look for Steve first, as he had told him to wait for him at the Will City.
He cannot proceed on creating the Chaos Orbs with the possibility of someone who he has not trusted yet being able to see it.
Other people that will see him create Chaos Orbs would be different as they don't recognize him and hence would only be able to point their hands at anyone. But, on the other hand, Steve was someone that already recognized how he looks like. So, he would definitely become a potential variable that will reveal his secret capability of creating Chaos Orbs in the future.
He can't let such variables exist, so before he starts to create Chaos Orbs, he would put Steve first somewhere enclosed where he can't see what he was doing.
Even if Steve would be able to get to know that the Chaos Mana in Will City has disappeared in the future, he would only be able to assume things with no clear evidence of what had just clearly happened. And to further confuse Steve, he would only let him out and see outside when they were already on the way to the Honoris City. In such a way, even the assumption wouldn't have any clear leads.
If someone thought of using Steve to inquire about what had happened to the Chaos Mana in the Will City using a Magic spell that will force him to only speak the truth in the future, then he'd only be able to reply that he doesn't know about it as he was locked inside an enclosed space by Mister Loki while on the way to the Honoris City. Of course, those people would definitely start speculating things base on that reply, but does that even matter? Because truthfully speaking, the mere mention of the name Mister Loki alone could already confuse them, not to mention connect the disappearance of the Chaos Mana in Silver Kingdom to him. They might even just assume that the person who caused such a shocking event was named Mister Loki, and not Leo.
Although everything he was thinking right now was just a bunch of assumptions, he was always the very cautious type of person. So, he would prepare against anything that he could think of that might just end up happening in the future. Even if the chances are only slim, as long as he was able to think about it, he would definitely make plans to avoid them from happening, or even if they can't be avoided, it would long be minimized to the best of his capabilities.
As soon as Leo arrived around 300 meters away from Will City, it didn't take that long for him to find Steve, who was currently on a horse running straight in his direction.
”Mister Loki!” Steve, who was riding on a horse, called out while waving his hands. He soon jumped down from the horse and right after pulled its leash before walking towards Leo.
”Your efficiency is really worth commending. I was only thinking about where you were moments ago, and the next second, you are already in front of me, hahaha!” Leo can't help chuckling while looking at Steve.
”I'm completely aware that I can be replaced anytime, so I'm doing everything I can do so that I can avoid that from happening.” Steve replied while scratching his head.
Hearing Steve's words, Leo only nodded his head before immediately going to the main topic. He was never the type of person that likes to beat around the bush.
”Anyways, come here and get inside my new invention. Don't worry about anything or even think about what is currently going on, just sit inside there and relax.” Leo said as he pointed at the passenger seat of his car.
At this moment, he still doesn't have a proper name for his new Magic technology for transportation, so he would be sticking with the name 'car' until then.
