Chapter 47: Leafre (Part 2) Leafre had a supermarket tucked away in a corner of the town, a weapons shop, an armour shop and quite a few inns. Should be natural, high leveled people spent most of their time training at Leafre. I wondered how the others back at Kerning were doing. I still felt a little guilty over letting the fake Ikki take control over me like that. Alexis was still rather mad at me for getting drunk last night. The Leafre armour store sold some high-leveled armour and Alexis purchased a Dark Lucida set. I found my eyes running over a custom-coloured Armis, and I eyed my Dark Armis. “Traced items are slightly less powerful than the originals, but in the case of the Dark Angel, they are stronger.” The Phoenix explained. I caught sight of a pair of Blue Arnah Shoes and took a mental picture of it. I would Trace it when we got back to the inn. Alexis’s Jikyeon Sword and my Archaeion were in perfect condition, so we didn’t have to visit the weapons shop, although I saw Jakito staring at a Blade Staff longingly. Alexis seemed to have caught the look too, and bought one for him. “Thanks.” He smiled. Alexis pulled me to the supermarket for some lingerie. By the time we returned to the inn, it was almost evening and we were very hungry. Fortunately, the inn had an underground restaurant and we went there for a big dinner, for we didn’t eat lunch. I Traced another laptop when we went back to our room to check the MapleNet website. Alexis - Level 109 Crusader Jakito - Level 115 Demon Priest Sevin - Level 34 Hunter Artemis - Level 200 Dark Angel “Interesting.” Jakito looked at himself. “So I’m the highest level of us all……” I muttered and flipped to the Kerning Hospital’s discharge list. To my delight, Roy, Mei Ling and Lacus had been discharged last night. Lith Harbour Hospital’s discharge list still didn’t have Lopez on it. Oh well, his injuries were pretty serious after all. Sevin and Jakito went to their own room while Alexis and I stayed in this room. I Traced a pair of Dark Arnah Shoes and put them on after taking off the Dark Elf Shoes I had Traced in back in Ellinia. The Dark Elf Shoes disappeared after I took them off. Alexis took off her armour and laid down on the bed in her underclothes. “Can’t sleep with my armour on, can I?” she winked at me. I laid down on the bed with her. My Dark Armis was comfortable enough to sleep in. Not long later, I heard a faint snoring sound. I tossed and turned that night, but I couldn’t sleep for some reason. Around midnight, I got up and tiptoed to the door, thinking of going to the bar for a quick drink after taking some money from Alexis’s purse. I took the only empty seat at the counter and noticed that the Magician from yesterday was sitting beside me again. “What will you have tonight?” the bartender bustled over. “Just water…” I massaged my eyebrows sleepily. He eyed me curiously then took a mug from under the counter. “2 mesos please.” He filled the mug at a dispenser and put his hand out. I fished 2 mesos from my pocket and gave it to him. I lifted the mug up and drank from it. A few seconds later, I knew something had gone wrong. Light-headedness and wooziness were settling over me again! I hiccupped. “Wrong dispenser……” the bartender looked at the dispenser he had taken my drink from and yawned. Couldn’t blame the guy…… he was sleepy too…… The Magician carried me up to his room again, since he didn’t know where mine was. “I want…… more…” I moaned. “Why don’t we play a game first? If you win, you can drink more.” The Magician suggested. “Game?” I looked up. “Yes. Just play some cards. With a twist.” He smiled. For some odd reason, that smile sent shivers down my spine. “What twist…?” I asked. “Every time one of us loses a round, we take off one piece of clothing.” He replied. “Ok…” I grinned. I was too drunk to think about the consequences. Strangely, the Magician didn’t flinch as I lost my first game and took off my Dark Armis. His smile only widened. A few minutes later, I had lost another game. I took off my panties. “Nice hips.” He remarked. “Thanks……” I smiled, still drunk. In my drunken state, I lost every single game I played against him. “No fair…” I punched the Magician lightly on the shoulder after taking off my bra. “What’s not fair?” he pinned me to the bed and raised a hand. “STOP!!! GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU SICKO!” Alexis suddenly burst in the door and rammed her sword through the Magician’s chest. “You… got me…” he spluttered, but no blood came out of the wound. He just collapsed on me and dissolved into sand. There was an…… Akasha Charm where his hand previously was! Alexis’s eyes widened in horror as it fell towards my chest, and she snatched it away a millimeter above my skin. “One of Saevio’s puppets again.” She muttered and helped me up, putting my clothes back on myself. I hiccupped. Alexis brought me back to our room and put me on the bed. “Quit getting drunk like that, ok?” she said kindly, her image blurring. I fell asleep. “Close call.” Alexis woke me up a few hours later. I was still very sleepy from last night. A faint taste of beer lingered in my mouth. “Get up. We need to find Saevio.” She helped me up. I stumbled slightly before noticing my Dark Armis was tight. “How’d you know I was in trouble?” I asked. “I dreamt that you were being raped and woke up. When I noticed you weren’t beside me, I just ran out and saw that Magician carrying you into his room. I hid for a moment, peeking into his room through your eyes until I saw him on top of you. Then I burst in and you know what happened next.” She explained. I massaged my eyes. “Through my eyes?” I murmured. “Remember when you saved me from the Dark Castle 19 years ago? You looked through my eyes, so I thought I’d do the same.” She smiled. |
