433 Chapter 432

"What do you recommend for me to buy?" Leon asked. "I want to increase my intelligence in order to learn Teleport as soon as possible. So, any recommendations that will help me with that are more than welcome."

"Just use it to buy some area of effect spells," Ilyana said. "Even if those have a cooldown time, as long as you have mana, you can keep them activated and level them up. Poison spells and acid spells can also help you obtain some status points. You are not skilled enough to learn them on your own for now anyway."

"What else?" Leon asked.

"Neutral offensive spells will also help you with that, you currently only have Mana Bullet as a neutral spell, right?" Ilyana asked. "Just learn those for the time being and level them up for a week or two. After that, you can request the cooperation of another spirit."

Leon nodded and then headed toward one of the many dungeons. He didn't know if it was a good idea to believe in Ilyana all that much, but it made sense to spend some coins to learn those spells. It would save him time trying to learn them on his own, after all.

Leon didn't spend even five million coins, and it was already satisfied with it. Little by little, it was becoming clear that he wasn't saving coins in order to buy the teleport tome, it was because he was stingy. Since Leon's breastplate had become half of what once had been, he decided to absorb it in order to train the skills. In the end, that had been enough for Leon to level up his new skills up to level thirty.

"One week passed... I guess it is time to look for the next spirit. Ilyana said to train for a week or two, but just one should be fine. I want to obtain the spirits' cooperation before anything."

Although it was clear that they weren't cooperating with each other all that much, Ilyana let out a long sigh since Leon returned after just one week.

"I think I'm going to the spirit of fire now," Leon said.

"Yes, yes," Ilyana massaged her eyebrows. "Head south, and you should find him after you use the purple crystal."

The next moment, Leon appeared in front of a purple crystal and then without wasting any time, touched it. A few moments later, Leon appeared in the middle of a forest, strangely enough, he didn't see or find any signs of Ilyana's elementals.

"Now that I think about it... maybe I should listen to her more. Thanks to her, I discovered about the terrorist and caught them before they could cause any problem."

Leon wanted to protect his planet and friends, even though his sense of familiarity was getting dimmer by the day. However, he didn't have the means to use time dilation and keep an eye on Earth. He had to rely on Ilyana for that. Leon was still wary of her, but he didn't have much of choice in such matters.

"I shouldn't get on her bad side... if I cause problems and show too much caution, she may decide to ignore Earth altogether. I also need to ask her to keep an eye on the planets where Amanda and Gisela are..."

Leon wondered if he wasn't being a bit too shameless in thinking about that, be wary of someone, not willing to trust her, and then asking for favors... Maybe asking to learn the spell she uses to monitor several places would solve that problem, but that would only show that he didn't trust her no matter what.

"She doesn't look to be a bad person... I can feel the presence of monsters here, but there are no signs of her elementals, probably because their existence alone would destroy this forest."

Instead of clearly being wary of her, Leon decided to stay neutral, not trusting in every single Ilyana says or doubting them. Someone as old as she would probably notice Leon's change of behavior and understand why he was doing that. However, that was something that couldn't be helped. Besides, Leon couldn't solve every single problem just by thinking about them. Upon realizing that once more, Leon moved toward the south, hoping the Efreet's intermediate fragment wouldn't cause him a lot of trouble.
