Novel Bin 130 Chapter 129
If he had the chance, Leon would do his best to avoid deaths, but his main goal was still to live a good life with his family and friends. If he couldn\'t help a friend who was suffering due to his bad choices, he had no rights, nor did he have the will to help strangers. However, Gisela would feel guilty if he refuses that. If Leon manages to reproduce the effects of those gloves, at least a weak version of it, he really could save many lives.
"All right... I\'ll see what I can do, but I don\'t promise anything." Leon said and picked the ring.
Ring of Sealing
Grants the user the skill Seal Lv 10
Cost: 100 mana
Cooldown time: 10 seconds
By the look of things and since the cursed rings had limited effects, that ring couldn\'t create awesome magic items, but it was better than nothing, and Leon had a lead of how to learn that skill. Still, Leon now had to study the gloves, that ring, and the rings of telekinesis and gravity since he wanted to learn all those skills.
"Well, I guess this is it," Leon said.
After that, Leon added Tom and Sarah\'s contact addresses to his cellphone. He would use them, and they would do the same in case something happens. That being said, Leon was quite sure that he could use Makoto\'s spies to collect the information he needed. But it was better to ask him first.
Although not much, Tom and Sarah helped Leon, so it was his time to repay the favor. However, they only asked him to create some steel bows and arrows. Most soldiers had magic weapons, but those would be used to train the recruits, those who wanted to fight but didn\'t have the means and ended up creating the situation with maid and butlers. They could always retrieve those arrows since Leon made them quite sturdy, but he decided to spend the day and the night making a good stock just in case.
After packing the few things they had, Leon and Gisela left New York. She looked a bit better after doing some exercises, but Leon decided to hold back a little the speed of movement, so they only reached Las Vegas after traveling for forty hours. When they arrived, it looked most of the city was clean again. So, Leon and Gisela arrived on time to see Amanda, Maya, Hector, Sasha, and Betty having breakfast.
"Dude… can\'t you stop to catch a breath?" Hector asked.
"I\'m a busy person… Anyway, this is Gisela, a friend, and I guess I can call her a student even though considering myself a magician teacher makes my back feel itchy," Leon said. "I hope she can stay here with us for a while."
"That is no problem; we have plenty of rooms." Amanda smiled. "I will help you to unpack your things, but first, let\'s eat. I imagined you would return today, and since you have quite the appetite, I ended up making a lot."
After breakfast, Amanda took Maya and guided Gisele to her new room. Meanwhile, the others stayed in the kitchen to talk.
"Betty, did you see those three using this equipment before?" Leon asked.
"No, I imagined you would ask that, so I tried to recall the information of the past," Betty explained. "William and I fought alongside for several months when I went to the north. We more or less had the same power in terms of strength, but then one day he suddenly stopped fighting in front of others. If I remember correctly, it was around the time he met Sanchez and Alisson. As if it was only obvious, those three decided to clear a difficult dungeon together, and they did after a single try in just a few hours. After that, they became famous, and they decided to create the Allied Forces of North-America."
"Did you see someone suspect contacting them?" Leon asked.
"No, a lot of people went to talk with them when they created the Allied Forces," Betty answered. "But those only looked like small fries who wanted to benefit themselves by getting close to them."
"I see… it looks like someone secretly met and gave them those choppers, the ring to create magic weapons and the weapons they used." Leon said. "I thought that technology advanced a lot, but as expected, choppers that use mana aren\'t something that is supposed to exist after four years, we became able to use it."
"Do you have any idea where those things came from?" Hector asked.
"I don\'t think they visited the megalodon\'s dungeon underwater," Leon said. "I also don\'t think any monster I encountered so far could have dropped that… However, there is a lot of places that we explored very little. I guess the other side of the dungeons would be a good start."
"Do you intend to explore those alien worlds?" Betty frowned.
"No, at least not for the time being," Leon answered. "First, I\'ll talk with Makoto and see what he learned. By the way, you will have to come with me."
"Okay…" Betty seemed a bit tense.
"Don\'t worry about it, Makoto won\'t hurt a friend of mine," Leon said. "He already knows that I can help him a lot, so I bet he will overlook your past actions to obtain my favor. We will depart after lunch, so rest as long as you can. The vehicle we will use to cross the ocean isn\'t very comfortable."
Betty could only frown after hearing that since she had no idea what vehicles the Japanese spies used.
"By the way, how are the forces of this city holding up?" Leon asked.
"It has been harsh; we don\'t have enough hands," Hector answered. "I bet the demons are building their forces again, so we have to make preparations and find more soldiers. Amanda is building an army of skeletons, but she can\'t do that the whole day and the skeletons can only hold for so long."
