Leomord

"Thank you for your help and concern, Andes." Despite being wary of him, Ron still couldn't help but say that. After all, without Lein in between, how would he get out of the situation? With only his fire magic, maybe he could only exchange 3-4 attacks, before finally being defeated and destroyed. Facing a real fight, he didn't have good experience for it yet.

"Not a problem." Lein replied with a smile before finally picking up the large jug he had previously put on the side of the road.

Meanwhile, Alice and George took steps to get closer to the two, then asked Ron about the real situation. After briefly explaining everything, Ron approached the teenager who had strangulation marks on his neck, reached out his hand, tried to provide support for him to his feet, while asking, "What's your name, Friend?"

The teenager looked reluctant. In all his life, he had never received this kind of attention, let alone from someone who looked rich like Ron. Don't nobles always feel superior and look down on those below them? However, what could he do other than accept him helping hand?

"Leomord," he said, taking Ron's hand.

Meanwhile, at a side not far away from him, Lein couldn't help but be shocked upon hearing that name. Is he that Leomord?

To confirm his thoughts, Lein approached Leomord while asking, "Are you from Fionax Village?"

Leomord who had a frightened face immediately replied, "R-right, Sir, I'm from Fionax Village."

Jackpots!!!

Without replying further, Lein bought a large paper package at the shop. With a quick movement, he filled it with burgers, KFC, some bronze notes, clothings, low grade dagger, then as if took them out of his pocket and handed them to Leomord. "Take this." A genuine smile appeared on Lein's face.

Lein purposely chose a paper package for him. Since it didn't look flashy, of course people wouldn't notice that it contained quite a bit of treasure.

Seeing that, Ron grew even more suspicious that Lein's pocket contained spatial magic. However, he only distorted that suspicion in his heart, without daring to ask.

On the other hand, even though Leomord was reluctant to accept it, he was forced to accept it with an awkward smile. After giving that away, Lein stepped closer to him, so that they were only a few centimeters apart, then said in a low voice, "In the future, I believe you will become a great person! Inside this, I have filled it with some foods, clothings, moneys, and weapon. Fight hard and make sure to stay alive! One day, I'm sure we'll meet again, and at that time your power will even be enough to match mine."

Lein said random things that came to mind. He didn't even know if he had prepared the perfect motivational line. At the very least, that might move Leomord's heart a little.

According to Lein's memory, in the game Malivic World, around 2 years after the revival of the Asmovius Kingdom, a man from Fionax Village named Leomord would appear and become one of the 10 best sword-wielding NPCs in Malivic World. That being said, 2 months after Leomord wielded a sword for the first time, he had become a 4th class swordsman! He is a super genius who is at the peak of genius. His talent was already like a legend! Of course to rent him in 1 quest completion, it takes a very expensive price.

Hence, many players from all over the world came to Fionax Village, only to find someone who was expected to have the same talent as him. However, the talent is of course not about Fionax Village, but talent that is created by Developers.

Perhaps the figure Lein was meeting at this time was not the Leomord he was referring to. However, there's nothing wrong with gambling with this, right? If he really was 'Leomord', it would be fortunate that one of the best NPCs in Malivic World owed him a debt of gratitude.

After a brief exchange, Leomord thanked them profusely and promised to return the favor someday. Alice, Ron, and George, only replied with a smile, as if taking Leomord's last sentence as just an expression of deep gratitude, and didn't really put it in their hearts. However, who would have thought that Leomord in the future, would actually become one of the best sword users in the world!

Leomord and the four parted ways by taking different paths. After that, they continued their journey towards the Asmovius Kingdom.

According to Ron's estimation, getting from Cernel City to Asmovius Kingdom would take around 4 days on foot. Hearing that, George immediately raised his grievances. His fat body was completely unable to take on any further challenges. Thus, he spent most of the rest of the money, and advised Ron to rent a carriage. Ron, Alice, Lein, agreed with that and started collecting their respective money.

They then looked for a coachman who was around to ask for services. With the amount of money being offered, many coachmen were willing to take them. After deliberation, they chose an old coachman of good stature. Even though he was old, they could see that he had a strong body.

Their journey continues on the horse-drawn carriage. As the old man had lived for tens of years in Cernel City and had even gone this route hundreds of times, he knew very well how to avoid monsters and the best shortcuts.

Hence, taking only 2 days, they arrived in front of the Asmovius Kingdom's gates almost unhindered. After packing all the equipment, they bid farewell to the old man and let out a long sigh in front of the Asmovius Kingdom's gates. What a tiring journey.

Even George, who was standing next to Lein, couldn't hold back his tears from falling. The pain and fatigue that had plagued his body, had paid off today!

However, this is the beginning of everything. Their real long journey will only begin today!
