Leylin completely shut himself off burying his mind completely into his experiments after he give out some commands.
His first order was quite straight forward and understandable, which is the connection establishment in all of his reigned zone. Since Leylin has come to central continent he has been unable to establish a proper channel because of various complications like resources, connections, investment and most importantly time. Leylin has been unable to receive anymore offerings, benefits, resources etc. from there, this isn’t a concern for him but he needs resources for his subordinates and his organization. Even if he owned various places he was not getting any benefits because of no means of transportation. Leylin wanted to connect them all to facilitate faster travel with more convince.
Leylin ordered Anna to take help from the Oakheart clan and resolve this issue, currently they just need to establish various teleportation arrays buying, clearing and isolating all of the picked spots, all the way from the Dylan City to the Mount Asura where the subterranean world entrance is, as well as where he came from.
Leylin also ordered Anna to establish a spy network of his own organization, there is various benefits of keeping an eye over the situation. Leylin audited a way to screen the intelligence sent to him where he scan them to if there is anything worthwhile, although the chances of success is minimal nothing could go wrong in knowing a bit, and the reason why he choose Anna to do this job was because of her innate ability granted by her Beast.
Her Bloodline is of the King of Rats which grants her the Rat Kings authority, the wielder of this liege is the true King of rats and has omnipotence over their godly control over their subject. Infact these beings are they merly are an extension to their being, The Bloodline holder sees everything their subjects see, hears everything they hear, learns everything they learn, knows everting they know and is everything they are. This is why there is no one more perfect for this role than Anna.
These rats are obviously not some normal ones, but rather a type of demonic beasts with few range of ability, Amazingly enough Anna also have control over the rat race in the Forbidden Land as well. These are being manifested as a failure from the ancient experiment with almost no value hence, no one could be bothered to take care of them and under Anna control it is a good force mainly adept for information surveillance.
The second order Leylin send was that from now on, Lita holds the highest authority in his territory. She would act as the assigned head and the family representative with all the authority second to Leylin himself.
This order wasn’t for his direct subordinates because they serve only Leylin’s wish, rather it was for his bloodline vassals. At first people were a bit unsupportive but after Lita single handedly subdued them, She became the managing director of the Farlier Family.
Lita has a sharp mind and good leadership ability but she severely lacks the baptism of blood and gore which cannot be underestimated. For a Morning Star to rise, many choose to pave their way with bloody murder. What she lacks now is precisely that, a tempering in fire and blood. Hence, Leylin pushed all the responsibility on her, she was to present the Farlier Family and also dive into the muddy waters, this is a great chance to train the recruits as well which would turn them into real elites. Ivy was out of her constant loop of training and was organized by Leylin as Lita’s right hand person.
Leylin wanted nothing to do with all of the politics and tangible benefits because he has his hands full.
Previously after getting his hands on the [Celestial Specter Form] technique, Leylin made various theories and hypothesis regarding the most coveted mindrealm of Spirit Mark race. Due to this mindrealm Leylin has exceptional strong soul defence and his overall quality is also a grade higher, Which helps him innately to fend off against any scan from an enemy. This technique is a boon for all magus, although it is an innate ability of the Spirit Mark Race itself, Leylin has been able to somewhat analyze and assess it. Unfortunately only after he gets the full technique as well as more diverse knowledge in the field of soul force would he succeed completely.
According to Leylin estimation, If taken to extreme he might be able to stimulate an extremely formidable techniques to hide oneself completely from an higher opponent, if this is matched and calibrated with the skill of hiding in the void like that of Kemoyin Serpent, it’s subspecies and darkness element creatures, then a formidable assassination unit can be formed. Leylin would love to get his hands on the Void Assassin of the Scarlet Ruins this would be the last step in his studies in this field and the final results can be fabulous.
With the various things and information in his hands, Leylin was completely engrossed into Experiment and research. There is also the revitalization of The Sun Child’s bloodline which Leylin is desperately waiting for.
Leylin also studied the powers of Forbidden Ancient Clock, although what he got is merely a fragment, Leylin found out that this is based on principles of time mostly directed towards the shaking and unique power of bending of time itself. According to speculation, If complete it can be used to somehow affect the flow of time in ones perception, in a more loose term it could be used to either accommodate oneself flow of time or either target the enemy. This is an amazing effect which can help anyone in turning the tides in a confrontation.
If put in simpler terms the ability is a acceleration buff and retardation nerf. The exact boundaries are quite foggy and unclear but it’s abundantly clear that even at the peak, it’s obviously not possible to be used against a greater power. A certain threshold is capable to breaking this bind and according to Leylin estimation such power is only soul force.
Regardless the research value of such an amazing tool cannot be underestimated.
There is also the last piece of the puzzle in Leylin further advancement. Having reached Morning Star, he had been thinking about how to break through to Radiant Moon. The bloodline shackles and meditation technique were the two biggest problems, and now that he’d evolved to a greater bloodline and the fifth level of Kemoyin’s Pupil is being deduced and it would be most definitely receive a boost in completion after a visit to Sky City so, Leylin wasn’t worried. It could be said that all his problems has disappeared, At least for now.
….
The isolation of the Magus Tower extended to a period of a few months.
Those who were waiting outside, such as Parker, witnessed the tower absorbing huge amounts of elemental particles, a phenomenon caused by the spell formation operating the positive and negative energy pools to supply various experiment including interplaner. Leylin has all the necessary equipment so he would definitely not shy away from this even if there hasn’t been any great success, the exposure itself is a very good experience.
For the spectators apart from shock, all they felt was admiration for Leylin’s wealth.
For them, It was definitely a rare sight in the central continent for a rank 3 Magus to conduct such research for extended periods of time. The weight of astral stones he had in reserve alone would cause any other to go bankrupt.
“Marquis Leylin… This is seriously…”
If even the subordinates of Leylin were amazed, outsiders would definitely be surprised. Take, for example, the Warlock currently standing in front.
This Warlock had a fine appearance, which was common for Warlocks. This made him seem to be as ordinary as any other Magi out there, but the fact that this Warlock had a pure Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline within his veins created a sense of inferiority within Parker and the rest, which also heightened their alertness as they did not dare to take this Warlock lightly. All of the other direct subordinates of Leylin are busy in various other task so, Parker was the main person left answering directly to Lita as for Ivy she is an immovable person with only the goals of serving Leylin wishes which were currently being with Lita at all times.
“Just the amount of astral stones used must be enough to drive a rank 3 Magus to desperation, right?”
The subordinates stared at the huge Magus Tower as they couldn’t help but express their shock when they saw this man.
“Count Timmy,” Parker respectfully stood aside.
Even though Timmy was a mere rank 2 Warlock and a Count, his regal bloodline made it easy for him to advance to rank 3 or even become a Morning Star Magus. Timmy definitely surpassed Parker, who was older than him and also a rank 3 Black Horrall Snake Warlock, in potential.
Besides, Timmy was originally from the Ouroboros Clan, and his network within the clan ensured that he was an individual that one could not take lightly.
“I came here to hand him this invitation. However, it seems like I came at the wrong time…” Timmy couldn’t help but express his helplessness.
“Master is very busy in his research and has cut off all connections, as per his orders he is not to be disturbed but please do not worry. Lady Lita is currently available and she is taking care of all the official works, from the rights vested in her by Master, Lady Lita Raiz represents the Farlier Family.” Parker answered.
Timmy nodded his head. He himself was aware that, without prior notice, these high-ranking Magi would definitely not tolerate any interruptions when they were going through very important research. He wasn’t willing to risk it as even a slight disturbance from the outside world could’ve resulted in the murderous intent of the Warlock being aimed at him. Lita as a Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlock herself and is more than capable of representing the family, actually she is much more popular than Leylin.
Lita has all the rights to get a Marquis title herself and also gain a territory of her own bestowed by the clan, in fact she has already been commissioned for these benefits and has her own territory but she never actually finalized it. She refuses to leave the Dylan city because apart form being just a Giant Kemoyin Serpent she has another identify which is — Fiancee of Leylin Farlier.
