YM778.TV 197 Chapter 196
In the end, Leon had flown over the ocean for three days practicing Seal. If he had practiced that on other monsters, he wouldn\'t have leveled up the skill so much, but at least Leon got what he wanted... even though the chance of the effect granted was quite small.
Steel Ring VI (Water)
It grants you the skill Regeneration Lv 40, Mentality + 40, Endurance + 40.
It wasn\'t as good as the gloves, but it was something. Now, Leon just had to make six more. Amanda already had the gloves, so she didn\'t need it. That ring Leon would give to Yuki; the six others would be for Ren, Gisela, Hector, Sasha, Betty, and Lennart… Leon continued in doing that for four days before he could get enough rings for everyone.
Appearing without an invitation and without being brought by the ninjas, Leon caused quite a ruckus when he just landed on Yuki\'s palace. Fortunately, Ren was nearby to speak for him. Not all imperial guards knew Leon, after all.
"I thought we were being invaded…" Ren sighed. "Anyway, it has been a long time."
"Yeah, sorry for the surprise," Leon said.
"You look tired, did something happen?" Ren asked. "You came to talk with Your Majesty, right?"
"Yeah, but I need to talk with you too," Leon said. "Just arrange a location where we can talk without worrying about anyone hearing us."
"All right…" Ren said.
Ren seemed a bit confused; he trusted Leon enough to hear him now and ask why later. Yuki was busy talking with her advisors, but she stopped immediately when Ren and Leon appeared, by the look of Leon\'s face, she concluded he was in a hurry. In the end, the only place who wasn\'t fully watched by her ninjas was Yuki\'s room. Although she was the empress, her bedroom had an awful number of teddy bears in the shape of pandas…
"So, what are you up to?" Yuki asked.
"Your spies caught me leaving America even though I was flying pretty high?" Leon frowned.
"Obviously." Yuki smiled as if Leon was asking something foolish. "I informed your sister and Sarah; both of them are worried that you are acting suspiciously."
"So little faith they have on me…" Leon sighed. "Anyway, here are some gifts."
Aside from the rings Leon created using the megalodons, he also gave to Yuki and Ren another ring that recovered their mana almost every second, and it also put the wearer in a meditation-like state. That way, his friends could grow their mana and intelligence without having to stop to meditate, that being said, the efficiency was halved, but it was better than nothing. The skill was called Zen, and he obtained that by sucking the souls of grim reapers… it sounded like a joke, but Leon was actually capable of stealing the soul of a monster that was supposed to take his soul.
"Those are… incredibly useful." Yuki frowned. "I heard that you were practicing the skill to create magic items, but I didn\'t think you would be able to create something like this so soon."
"Indeed… with both of those rings, anyone can fight for hours against high-leveled monsters." Ren added.
"Well, that was the idea," Leon said. "I spent the last days doing nothing but trying to create them. Anyway, try to use them as much as possible to grow stronger and don\'t let anyone know about them."
"Wait a minute, are you leaving already?" Yuki frowned.
"Yes, I just came to deliver those," Leon said.
"Aren\'t you going to explain your strange behavior?" Yuki asked.
"I can\'t, and it\'s not because I don\'t trust you," Leon answered.
"Then why are you keeping secrets even from your family?" Yuki asked again.
"… You heard of the law of cause and effect, right?" Leon hesitated.
"Yeah…" Yuki frowned.
"So, that is why I cannot explain," Leon said.
"That only makes me even more confused," Yuki said.
"Leon… if something is about to happen, you should tell us, and we will work to prevent it." Ren said.
"Because of the law of cause and effect, I don\'t think that can be prevented," Leon said. "But don\'t worry, it is not something that will put the world at risk… probably."
"Probably…" Yuki sighed. "Leon, I know that you are worried about something, and considering that you are talking about cause and effect, you are trying to avoid the worst-case scenario. You have the knowledge that something will happen in the near future… that much is obvious, but you are probably overthinking it. The future can\'t change all that much if you tell one piece of information to only a few people."
"I think you are wrong… but I guess I need to tell you since I need to ask you a favor." Leon said.
"What favor?" Yuki asked.
"If something happens, I would like that your ninjas give a hand to my family and friends," Leon said.
"They already have the orders to do so, but they don\'t need to act while you are around, right?" Yuki asked.
"Yeah, that is the problem…" Leon forced a smile. "The thing is, I won\'t be around forever… I think I will die in a few days."
