After a few days of advertising, Leo's small stall managed to make a considerable profit. At least to pay the kiosk fee and also finance food for all Leo subordinates.
'Tap 'em! Taps! Aap!'
The sound of footsteps rang out on this deserted street. Not many people still roam outside the house after sunset.
And there, Leo walked alone while continuing to flip through some sheets of paper in his hand.
Behind him, Selene's figure is walking after Leo while continuing to maintain her vigilance. He looks at the surrounding environment well, trying not to miss the slightest movement that occurs.
"Selene, are you tired? You can relax in my escort. I'm not that weak to die in one hit, you know?" Said Leo while continuing to pay attention to the paper in his hand.
The paper was full of writing separated on several tables. In the table above is the name of the district. While in the table on the left side is the name of a commodity or item.
The rest of the table contains only so many numbers. The writing is very neat and small, thus saving the use of expensive paper.
'The price of wheat in this district is too cheap. What the hell is going on? Even the difference is with the district....'
While Leo was still thinking, suddenly 5 men blocked his path. They emerged from the alley beside that street. Sure do....
"Hohoho.... Whatisthis? A couple who's walking around at night?"
"That's not good you know? What if.... You guys met with bandits?"
"Combat!"
The five of them laughed at Leo and Selene as well. However, Leo did not bother him at all. He was still busy looking at the data he obtained.
As for Selene herself, she was ready to pull the short sword that was on her waist.
"Ooh! Wait a minute, Little Miss. You can't do that."
"That's right. If you pull out your sword, I'll kill your lover!"
"Now, you two look rich. What if you share a little of your wealth with these poor of us?" Ask one of the bandits.
After hearing that last sentence, Leo finally raised his face and started looking at the bandits and uttered a single word.
"Selene." Said Leo while quickly jumping towards the back a few times. With that, he managed to make a distance of 4 meters more.
As for Selene herself, she quickly pulled out her short sword and shot towards those 5 bandits.
"Ready, my Lord." Reply Selene briefly.
His movements were so graceful and also deadly at the same time. It only took him 3 seconds to get through that bandit line.
After passing through them, Selene immediately stopped her footsteps and twisted her body quickly. Simultaneously, he swung his sword right at the neck of one of the bandits.
'Zraaasshh! Zraaassh!! Zraaass!!!'
In just an instant, Selene managed to levitate three slashes of which two of them managed to cut off the bandit's head. While the other one, only slightly scratches because the pace is less fast.
His white hair was as if dancing along with the sword Selene held in her right hand.
In fact, his footsteps were not a movement to fight. It is more like a dance move.
In the middle of 3 bandits who still survived it....
"Damn it! Fucking girl!"
Two of them started attacking Selene. But now, they were ready with him so Selene could no longer deliver a surprise attack.
While the other one....
"I'll take care of you. Seeing from your previous reaction, you are weak aren't you? Huh! Hiding in bwwwaagghhh!!!"
Without giving the bandit a chance to finish his victory speech, Leo had struck the man in the face with his left hand.
Or rather, hitting his wide-open mouth while putting something in.
After that, Leo threw the paper in his right hand and hit the bandit's head from two sides. His left hand hit the chin, while his right hand hit the top of his head.
"Gwawarghh!!!"
The bandit looked like he wanted to scream but couldn't. That blow must have been very painful. But there's something worse than that.
'Braaaka!'
Not a kick good enough to give a compliment. But that kick was enough to throw his body far enough away from Leo as well as Selene on the side.
Not long after that....
'Blaaar!!'
A small explosion occurred right in the throat of the bandit. The cause was none other than the Mana stone that Leo put in the man's mouth during the first attack.
After a while the stone was in a state of Mana overload, then an explosion would occur according to how much Mana was excess. And this time, Leo did set it to not be too big.
The result was a crushed head and flesh and organs scattered in this street.
Decorate the path with a beautiful red color and also a rich intake of nutrients for some stray dogs.
After making sure the bandit died, Leo immediately turned his body to take back the paper that had just been thrown.
Meanwhile....
"Sir, are you okay?" Ask a girl with white hair. His left hand slightly dragged the figure of the bandit that had been sprawled. In his right hand was a short sword covered in blood.
"Yes, I don't have a problem. How's yours?" Leo asked as he immediately walked towards Selene.
"I'm doing fine. But I'm a little confused, why are they so confident with such a weak ability?" Reply Selene while pouting slightly.
His not-so-long pointed ears moved slightly as he said so.
"Eitherway. Maybe they don't realize how vast the world is." Reply Leo.
They both left the five lifeless bodies of the bandits on the streets. As if that was a normal thing.
With casual footsteps, the two of them continued back on their way to the inn.
......***......
...- Lodging -...
'Couche!'
"We're back." Said Leo while opening the door.
Behind it was the figure of his subordinates who were busy eating lunch. Where 2 women are seen bringing their cooking to the table.
"ah! Master Leo! Welcome back! We cooked roasted chicken to celebrate today's sale!" Said one of the women.
"Is that so? Was today a big profit?" Reply Leo while putting his things.
"That's right, Sir! We profited 87 silver coins today! I don't know why, it's really crowded today! Even some warriors came to buy a lot of his potions!"
"We were even terrified that we would run out of the potion...."
Hearing that, Leo only smiled faintly while giving a brief appreciation.
Meanwhile, Selene immediately walked in and sat down at the dining table. Waiting for the food to be served.
"Leo! The pay from Eastfort has arrived! This time they gave 487 platinum coins as payment. But...." Said Artemis who ran down the 2nd floor stairs.
Hearing the word 'but' made Leo's face shrivel slightly. He always had a bad feeling about Feris and Eastfort.
"That's good, more than yesterday. But what?" Leo asked briefly as he walked towards Artemis.
"Ferris.... Bringing you a letter with the royal seal." Artemis said as she gave the letter in the beautiful white envelope.
At the center of the envelope was a blue candle seal with a royal coat of arms.
As long as the seal had not been opened, it meant that the letter had never been read by anyone else. Of course opening someone else's letter is not good. Moreover, letters with royal seals, depending on the case they could have been put to death just by opening them.
Seeing that....
'Feris.... Especially now?' Leo complained in his heart while making a slightly upset face.
