Chapter 360 – Invitation From The Central Region
Invitation From The Central Region
The war had ended. Leylin, who had returned from the battlefield, was now leisurely drinking some coffee.
With a thought, he accepted the scenes that the A.I. Chip transmitted to him.
"Baelin truly is Twilight Zone’s child of destiny, but Longbottom is really surprising me…" Leylin stroked his chin, watching Longbottom who was currently spouting resentment.
"Using a revolution to cobble together an army, gathering wandering Magi who are unsatisfied with the rule of the guilds, and passing high-grade meditation techniques to common acolytes? Ingenious!" Even he had to appreciate Longbottom’s methods.
The Magus World had never been a fair place, but the immense strength of Magi had meant that nobody could overthrow them.
To cause trouble in the Magus World, it was necessary to incite disharmony within their ranks. It looked like Longbottom was doing well. He was even bringing about a revolution!
"Perhaps this happened in the south coast’s past as well, causing the power of guilds to wane and letting academies take their place…" Leylin made a sudden association.
However, the first of the revolutionaries would not be able to find peace, as the conservative factions would attack them, giving them a horrible death.
This was why Leylin had no intention of introducing the system of academies to Twilight Zone and had instead kept a low profile and assimilated into their culture.
"It looks like Baelin and Longbottom are like two sides of a coin. Both are the children of destiny for this era! However, one is a hero, while the other is a rebel." Leylin picked up the cup of coffee on the table and took a sip.
Sometimes, rebels were merely heroes who failed in their conquests! If Longbottom’s revolutionary efforts succeeded, then he would be immortalised as a model in the Magus World, extensively praised and recorded down in Magus history.
If, instead, Longbottom was bested by Baelin, he would go down in the books as a rebel; a traitor who had betrayed mankind, forever shamed by history.
"The final decisive battle will definitely be between these two! Before that, the force of destiny will quickly increase their power, even if it might not be beneficial to them in the long run."
Leylin was very clear about the path a child of destiny could take.
While they were making their mark on the world, they could obtain an inheritance just by wandering around. By going into a random danger zone, there could be a grandpa giving out techniques, allowing them to advance quickly, and thereby causing many geniuses to be so ashamed of themselves that they committed suicide!
"Longbottom seems to have gained a bloodline, and Baelin is even better off. Not only has he even found the path to becoming a Bio Booster, which suits him best, he has even subdued the Underground Winter Spider Emperor, which is a creature with a might similar to a rank 2 Magus!"
Leylin, who had seen much in the world, could naturally judge their general strength through these scenes. The unexpected luck they had caused even Leylin to envy them.
At the same time, he had been frightened slightly. "If I had continued with him, wouldn’t I have been played by destiny and become the grandpa handing out techniques?"
Leylin looked grim. Baelin had actually gotten some benefits from him. Although he had been affected by his emotional instability as a warlock, one could not deny the hand of destiny in this matter.
After all, destiny was not created out of anywhere. It needed a form of catalyst, which would infinitely increase the probability of it appearing.
For instance, Leylin could have chosen to craft potions instead of taking in a disciple to while time away, but he had instead chosen to teach Baelin the ways of knights.
Out of everyone in Potter Town, he had settled on Baelin. How much probability and luck was involved?
"Since you want to play, let’s have a good time!" Leylin raised his cup and sent a challenge out to the skies.
