Chapter 68: Harmony Studies
Leon first headed to the Valley of Souls with Reisia. Since Reisia couldn't help with Arpina's research, she agreed to take on the task of guarding the Valley of Souls alongside Leon.
The Valley of Souls was a den of beasts managed by Astellia, where periodic subjugations took place, and magic stones were extracted from the beasts.
Its scale was beyond imagination, and it was essentially a business venture that Astellia had obtained when it was once part of Arcane.
When the two stepped onto the teleportation circle, they were instantly transported to a barren, eerie landscape.
A thick fog wrapped around Leon's ankles.
The person who had previously been in charge of managing the other area saw Leon and Reisia, nodded expressionlessly, and moved to another part of the valley.
The two of them started to look around the Valley of Souls.
Leon’s task was to ensure that the beasts didn’t cross a certain boundary. A defensive magic circle separated the area where the magicians lived from the beasts’ territory.
The first task was to ensure that the beasts weren’t behaving suspiciously near the defensive magic circle, keeping them from getting too close. The second task was to periodically check for any anomalies in the defensive magic circle.
Though simple, the Valley of Souls was vast, so a single inspection took a long time.
There was also the task of monitoring the movements of the beasts beyond the defensive circle and recording any unusual activity, a task Reisia volunteered to handle.
Leon entered the defensive magic circle, immediately greeted by a foul stench.
