Chapter 69: Secrets of Creation
While assisting Arpina with her research, Leon made weekly trips to the Valley of Souls to inspect the defensive magic circle.
On the day Arpina’s first research phase was completed, Leon took the mana stones he received as payment and headed straight to the mineral shop.
“To supply that much mineral, I’ll need some time,” the shopkeeper said, frowning after hearing the amount Leon requested. It was far beyond the usual quantity.
Since the golems Leon created were larger than average, this was only natural. The armor golems alone were taller than a person.
Having no choice, Leon purchased what minerals he could immediately along with a suitable cauldron before heading back to the Valley of Souls.
Upon arriving at the desolate wasteland via teleportation magic, he cast a levitation spell to begin surveying his assigned area, checking for any issues with the defensive magic circle.
Before long, Reisia appeared beside him, surprising him and causing him to halt his flight.
“...When did you get here?” Leon asked.
“I was bored, so I was waiting to see when you’d show up.”
“I told you, you can signal the golems if you need anything...”
“Leon, you're too formal.”
Reisia simply smiled mysteriously, brushing aside his response.
