Chapter 2212
"I see!" Realization dawned on Lon as to why the Dragon Corps failed to eliminate the top three criminals on the list for years on
end.
Sky County covered a large piece of land and the criminals lurked in the dark, making it difficult for the Dragon Corps to find
them.
Criminals with high ranking were more difficult to defeat compared to others, and Leon knew that part of the reason he managed
to defeat three criminals in a row was luck.
Asmodeus, the Opensider, and the Scarlet Thief all underestimated him and let their guards down, making it easy for Leon to
utilize his strength and eliminate them.
"Leon, the top three criminals are far smarter than the Scarlet Thief and others, so you can't go up against them! Naturally, the
contribution points that come with defeating these criminals are that much higher because of how formidable they are! If you
manage to kill any one of them on your own, you'll obtain ten-thousand contribution points! That'd be sufficient for a few super
herbs!" Alfred said thoughtfully.
Leon seemed to be rather blessed by fortune to be able to kill three criminals in a row, so Alfred hoped for nothing more than for
Leon to find the remaining three criminals.
However, the top three criminals were far too powerful
compared to the Scarlet Thief, so Leon might be too young to survive in a fight with these criminals and would likely die before
he could do anything.
"What?! Ten-thousand contribution points? That many?! If a chance comes by, maybe I can try it!" Leon wavered.
If killing the criminals ranking the first three places on the list could bring him ten-thousand contribution points each, he would
have more than enough to trade the points with three herbs that contained light energy.
Though the criminals were far more powerful than Leon, he still had the last Potential Energy Force he received from Master
Haslewood after using two.
If he truly came across any of the criminals, he might be able to kill one of them using the Potential Energy Force.
Not only would Leon be eliminating a threat to the community, but he would be able to trade the points for three rare herbs to
reinforce his status and power.
Naturally, it was only a thought as he had no knowledge of the criminals' whereabouts and he had no time to travel to the central
district.
"Forget it, Mister Glasbey! Please start searching for the Fairy Fruit for now," Leon said thoughtfully.
Since he had insufficient contribution points and could not eliminate any more criminals at the moment, he intended to give up on
the herbs that contained light energy and trade his points with a Fairy Fruit, which was more crucial to him.
Angus already agreed to search for herbs containing light energy, and he might obtain a few with some luck; should that happen,
all of Leon's problems would be resolved.
"Sure!" Alfred said without hesitation.
Worried that he might enter the recovery phase soon, Leon did not stay any longer and bid his farewell to Alfred, before returning
home.
