"I hope Lord Leylin would honor us to showcase our hospitality?" Eam gave him a smile, trying to flatter him. For someone like him who was incomparably arrogant, making such an expression was difficult. His facial muscles even twitched uncoordinatedly.

However, after learning from about the ability, talent, ferocious attitude of Leylin along with his strength had already reached the peak of Breaking Dawn, Eam no longer had any arrogance left in him. That bit of bloodline and strength that he possessed was nothing at all in Leylin's eyes.

The Lyas family could only quiver under Leylin's gaze. Their life or death could be decided in just a mere second with a single thought from the Warlock.

It was natural to bend and try to curry favour with the strong when it came to the life or death of the family; he was the one in charge after all.

"Then, I would be forced to impose on you." Leylin nodded, answering indifferently.

"If we can satisfy Lord Leylin with our service, then it will be an honour for the entire Lyas family!" Eam said with a smile. As a noble he had taken lessons in etiquette before, and while most things were long forgotten it hadn't taken long for him to master it again.

....

"Your Majesty, please!" Eam bowed and lead the way inside his personal villa.

Multi-coloured carpets and pieces of furniture gave off a slight aroma within a luxurious room, as if there had been some special incense burnt here that gave a simple yet elegant feeling.

The grandeur of this room was amazing, This had once been Eam Lyas' mansion. Of course, once Leylin revealed his intentions to stay overnight, he had arranged this place for him with the fastest speed possible.

Leylin decided to use this place for his upcoming meeting.

"Good," Leylin nodded, and numerous rays of lights were emitted.

*Boom!* It was as if the world stopped in that instant. Eam felt like he was a little boat in the vigorous, furious waves of the ocean, about to capsize at any moment.

A streak of light shot in his direction, and he instinctively caught it. Eam retreated several steps, looking stunned as he saw a black rune sizzling in his hands.

The illusions had vanished. Now, he found that he had the a rune in his hands.

"This is my mark, and also a token that can be used for all trades. You can also use it to contact me. It'll go through as long as I'm in the Magus World" With strength incomparably close to that of laws, all sorts of miracles appeared about Leylin. A law rune that represented himself was just a part of it.

Being given this symbol was tantamount to being branded by Leylin. Even if they met with other existences of laws, they could get special treatment. Of course, that did not include his nemesis like the Snake Dowager, in which case they would meet a face worse than death.

After this ceremonial procedure, those with the runes could even make sacrifices to Leylin, getting boosts in power from his law of primordial chaos that could fill their bodies.

Though the Magus World isn't suitable for the large-scaled path of sacrifices, it is perfect to sustain Leylin unique method acquired through the faith energy of God World for passing on his power. With this, safety is guaranteed.

Leylin briefly explained the usage of the rune, while Eam knelt in elation.

Leylin has already passed on his rune to all of his Morning Star and above subordinates even those in different worlds, this is a seal of authenticity for trades as well as a protection charm. Even Belinda and Aegnis has been granted with a rune solidifying their reign as managers here. Having his law rune is same as being recognized by Leylin so, anyone would be beyond thrilled to possess it. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Our Magus World hasn't given birth to a new rank 7 since the ancient war! Mister Leylin's existence is truly a cause for celebration!" Ignox seemed very excited.

"My Lord over praise me! I'm only a small Warlock from the surface, and I know little regarding the world of rank 7s and higher. I hope Lord Ignox can properly guide me," Leylin's words were humble.

"Mister Leylin is too humble, Of course! As the higher ranks of the Magus World, it is our duty to help each other!" Ignox nodded solemnly, "Also, there are some things that I need to warn you about. While you've yet to completely enter rank 7, your strength has already reached that point, which is why some restrictions apply to you."

"The restrictions must be placed for the greater good, I won't stand against the ancient contract." Leylin nodded.

Ignox noticed there seemed to be a loophole in Leylin's words but he paid no heed to it, laughing while not the least bit concerned, "It's very simple. You cannot deliberately prevent the Magus World's World Will from recovering. Also, each of us has a fixed region whose defense we're in charge of, and you'll need to thwart the invasions of any beings of laws. For instance, I'm in charge of the first to fourth levels of the subterranean world. Other than that, even if you were to massacre a whole continent nobody will bother with you!"

Leyln's eyes twinkled. "May I ask about the Ancient final war?"

"Yes, the ancient Final War! The dusk of the Gods and the fall of the Magi's glory," Ignox narrated in a singing voice, a trace of fear in his words.

"We would talk in depth about this later and you will find out the specific details soon enough. To sum it up, the two worlds fought in order to achieve the chance to reach rank 9, and a large number of existences of laws fell" While Ignox said this in a relaxed manner, Leylin could picture the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Even at its peak the Magus World wouldn't have spawned an existence of laws in a thousand years, but so many had died.

After the war, World Will sank into a deep sleep. The combined conscient of the World of Gods and the higher gods was the same. It even engaged their crystal system and prevented any outsiders from spying on them. Left behind, the Magus first withdrew to the subterranean world, guarding the World Will as close as they could while comprehending laws.

The Magus World's Will sleeping at the earth's core. The nearer the place is to the World Will, the more conspicuous the laws become. The world origin force will also take care of Magi. It's no wonder that those existences of laws stay deep underground and won't come out!

"After signing the contract, Lord Leylin will become a part of us too!" Ignox got to the point, "I am here to notify you about this. There's about a decade until we're done with the preparations for the contract, and when the time comes we'll send you an invitation!"

He seemed to never have considered Leylin's rejection. Of course, Leylin wasn't foolish enough to make enemies out of the existences of laws in the Magus World.

"I understand," Leylin nodded solemnly.

"And the area of governance?" Ignox rubbed a large ruby in his hands, "Lord Leylin came from the surface world, so how about taking care of that area? The danger is at a minimum there, and there aren't any other existences of laws guarding it anyway"

Leylin inwardly rolled his eyes. Perhaps getting him to guard the surface was purely from Ignox's good intentions.

Of course, this matched Leylin's plans, and so he agreed without hesitation, "Of course!"

With the important business done with, Ignox and Leylin continued to chat, his enriching and wide knowledge astounding Leylin. The important matters to be noted after reaching rank 7 were extremely beneficial to him. When he had to leave, Leylin felt somewhat reluctant to part with him. Leylin felt that engaging in a such an enriching conversation would be very beneficial especially for him to finally cross the final step.

"Thank you for your magnificent hospitality, but I must be off. I look forward to my next meeting with you!" Ignox waved at Leylin and entered the door of light in front of the cupboard.

A great deal of rust vanished, and the room returned to what it had looked like before. The feeling of another space being connected here gradually dissipated. Leylin's eyes were filled with an inquisitive glint.

This travel was definitely an evolution of the laws Ignox grasped. It's rather effective when travelling between worlds and the astral plane. Leylin has also used something similar to that to teleport from his mansion to here instantly.

'I would have loved to ask him about the truesoul research sooner rather than later but it would be better to wait till the contract is signed.' Leylin stood up and paced around the room with an erudite expression. Even if Leylin did ask it would take centuries to get what he wants so there is no immediate rush.

"All that's left is to slowly consolidate my powers reaching into Rank 7 formally and there is also the experiment. Time to dive into a long slumber into my laboratory."
