“Have you made all the adequate preparation, Lancey ” Leylin asked while still having his eyes closed.
” Yes, master and I am ready to depart as soon as commanded ” Lancey answered while bowing.
” Hmmm, Anna has handed over some funds to you right? ”
” Yes, Master.. It’s more than enough. I think I can make do with even half of it. I am very grateful for the opportunity you have given me and I definitely accomplish the task assigned to me, I just don’t want to take more than needed and inconvenience you. ”
Leylin opened his eyes and looked at her charming and beautiful face with a serene expression. Seeing that Leylin was looking at her so intently she bashfully bowed her head.
” You don’t have to worry about all of that small stuff, just complete the task I have given you and I will be content with that ” Leylin said gently.
….
In a underground camp, leylin was making some magical formation on the floor and scrambling down some notes on a sheepskin paper.
After doing all these he took out some Darkness Crystals and placed them on the suitable positions, the whole formation connected to form a beautiful inscription which exuded mystery and might.
But when is about to be done he broke the circuit and stop the formation. Leylin calmly put everything down and walked to the other side of the reinforced camp.
As he walked in, a herbal smell hit his nostrils and he stood before a slightly green colored pool of solution inside of a circular depression on the ground.
As leylin stood there, immediately Anna came and started to help him undress. There was calmness and stillness in Leylin expression, as if he is thinking about something.
” Have Lancey departed ” Leylin asked, as he walked naked inside the pool and sat down.
* Shiii*
Popping and cracking sound were released as his flesh came in contact with the mixture. This is green colored solution is something that he has research about himself.
It is used to attack the meridian in his body, as he absorbs it inside his skin. He intentionally allows the mixture to get inside himself by undoing his defences, For any normal magi this could be a poisonous compound if they let it sink into their bloodstream but for leylin it’s like hammer wielded to forge a Masterfully Crafted Sword.
” Yes, Master Lady Lancy has departed ” Anna dutifully reported.
‘ Lancy, or Should I say Lancy Evans’ Leylin smiled as he thought about her name. As leylin was recuperating inside the Camp for a week, he questioned her about her background and what transpired for her to abandon her home ground and take such a risky endeavor to run off.
Her story was really something, especially her name Lancy Evans. Evans was a famous surname in the Dark Magi region, Their popularity is entangled with the Exploits of the ‘ Evans Brother’. Even Leylin has heard of them.
The story dates back to the time when there was a talented Female Acolyte who came from humble beginnings. She was able to scratch and claw her way to become a talented Level 3 Acolyte.
After years of accumulation she was finally able to exchange means to become a Rank 1 Magus, (probably Grine water and a defense spell). For her to be able to do that, shows her luck too. since she was able to trade with a Magus who was just and honest enough to not rip her off viciously.
Although Leylin thinks that the Magus must have raised a few demand after she successfully become a Magus, but nevertheless her success in the matter is undeniable.
But something was not on her side, and that was youth. She was already in her mid-30s at the moment, and have passed her prime age to advance.
She tried to advance but regretful she failed, she was somehow able to preserve her life but the goal of her life was crushed. Broken and defeated she lost the purpose of her life and she quit her conquest.
In her later years she married a nobel man, and gave births to twins: The elder brother Liam Evans and the Younger brother Louis Evans.
Collectively later know as the ‘Evans Brother’. As fate will have it, both of them had talents to become Magicians and later on became Acolytes in a regional academy ‘ Raven Claw Academy’. It’s a academy which is a grade lower than that of Abyssal Bone Forest since the strongest one is just a Peak Level 1 Magus.
They were somehow able to get their hands on an inheritance and acquired a meditation technique. Both successfully became Magi and established the Evans Family, one of the backers of their Academy.
But one noteworthy thing that common populace of Magi World didn’t knew was that, the Older Brother hid half of his finding to his brother and was able to become stronger.
Later, Liam Evans became a Peak Magus but Louis was stuck at the semi-converted elemental magus, incapable of advancing.
After being aware of this, Louis joined hands with the principal and other members of board of the Raven Claw Academy and jointly attacked Liam.
Being caught off guard and betrayed by his own flesh and blood, Liam was beyond himself. In the confrontation they ravaged each other like wild animals and in the end at the cost of killing all of attackers except of Louis, he died.
Louis was not polite,tending to his injuries. He scavenged his allies and his brother all the same and reach Peak Rank 1 Level. With no one to challenge his reign, he became both the Family Head of Evans Family and the Principal of Raven Claw.
The role that Lancy play in this story is that, she is the Granddaughter of Laim and her existence was that of thorn in her Granduncle Eyes. She was not only exceptionally talented but a lot of resources where dedicated to her.
To protect herself from the games of politics, she runoff and abandoned her home. Not even daring to use her Surname.
Once she was raised as a princess but later turned into a hideous criminal. Her crime being the distaste of A Powerful Magus.
* Sigh*
Leylin walked out of the pool, all of the solution has lost its luster and turned into a colourless state.
He dried himself with a towel and draped a Loose robe waking towards the Magical formation.
