World Terror 42 Dark Elves

"Okay, what do you want from me?"Confident in his strength and bond with morale, Hito decided to hear Leon out.

"What I am about to tell you may touch some of your old memories so before we begin I want to tell you please hear me out completely, let me explain it afterwards so you can decide. And let me also add I have Sukehime Sama's permission for this. " Leon was a bit dodgy at the last part of the sentences as he knowingly and wantedly enunciated that whatever deal he was about to propose was with Sukehime's permission and she knew all about it.

Leon did so because some of the stuff what he was about to tell Hito were something only known by Hito or told in Original works, so once Hito hears these stuffs he will have many doubts about where Loen got these information from, so enunciating that whatever deal he was about to propose was with Sukehime's permission and she knew all about it, which also could mean Leon got to know these stuff from Sukehime. Abit off a word play to avoid suspicion.

" Ho! I see. It seems Sukehime- Sama was not kidding when she said she would take guys as followers. Whatever, out with it. " Hito was really surprised, he never for once believed that Sukehime seriously considered these westerners as her followers, he thought Sukehime did it out of politeness towards the girl who saved her. Leon's word trick worked perfectly now Hito believed Leon was here to strike a deal with him on behalf of her majesty Sukehime herself.

" Sukehime sama told me that you created your sword style Heartless after the pa.s.sing of your master, it is totally based on cutting one's emotions and becoming cold like the steel of the sword unharmed and unaffected with every clash of raging human emotions and doubts. " while saying this Leon monitored every facial expression of Hito trying to read his thoughts. As a goodsells can only be made by knowing what your customer wants and right now Leon was doing the same, he was testing the waters to check how comfortable Hito was with Leon digging up his remorseful past. Seeing that Hito's depression did not chand but he just nodded to his words Leon continued, " According to me you created this Heartless Sword style not to cut your enemies but to cut your own emotions and doubts. If I am not wrong these emotions and doubts should be connected to the pa.s.sing of your late master. "

Hito's expression finally changed, he intently stared at Leon san, and said" anyone with basic information on me and basic detective knowledge can also come to this decision, what are you trying to say Leon? "

" I am not trying to say anything Hito San, I Just think that cutting the emotions is not the right way to deal with this, you seeing emotions, regrets and doubts are like common weed no water how nuch you cut them with time they will grow back again until you pluck them with their roots. Similarly Once the seed of regret and doubt is sowed in your heart and mind, no matter how much you cut them and shorten them with time they will grow back and the secret to get rid of these regrets and doubts is at their roots. " Leon explained trying to sell his product. But Hito did not seem interested because what Leon told him, he already knew that is why he was traveling the world.

" I know you know all this, I also know that it is also one of the reasons for your travels around the continent. What if I told you that I have the way to get to the roots of your regrets and doubts, what if I told you I can give you a way to completely get rid of your regrets and doubts for a price, are you willing to pay this price, Hito san. " Leon Intently looked at Hito trying to show how serious he was and that he was not kidding. Because right now his word was his product if Hito did not believe in his words then it was the same as. .h.i.to not believing in his Product, who in the right mind will buy a product they do not even believe in.

" Kid I do not know what you are coming at but you were successful in getting my attention and anger, if your answer does not satisfy me then you will face my anger. " Hito finally stopped following j.a.panese politeness while addressing Leon, he wanted to forget his remorseful past but this western Kid was digging in it again and again, finally annoying Hito.

" Okay Hito san I will not beat around the bush anymore. Even though I do not know what actually your regrets and doubts are, since you created your Heartless Sword right after the pa.s.sing of your master, I believe the root of your regrets and doubts lay with your master. With the only one that can get rid of the roots of your regrets and doubts dead, it will be very hard for you to get answers for the questions plaguing you and completely get rid of the roots of your regrets and doubts, unless the dead can talk. " Leon said Dramatically and stopped.

" What do you mean by ' unless the dead can talk ' " said Hito, Leon finally managed to fully gain the attention of Hito and he knew that if he played his cards right then he can make a deal with Hito.

After a small pause Leon explained " Hito san what if I told you I know a place where the dead can communicate with living , a place where you can hear the dead, a place where you can speak to the dead. Meaning a place where you can contact your late masters and get answers for the questions that have been keeping you awake at night. "

" what! How can such a place exist? No that doesn't matter, why did i not hear about such a place in my travels. How can I believe you? " Hito exclaimed with strong emotions and surprise. For years now he has been roaming the entire j.a.pan but he never heard of such a place, so it made it really hard for Hito to believe Leon.

" All I can say is that the place I am talking about is a holy land of a civilization from a different continent. So it's not a surprise that you did not hear about them in your travels. " Looking at the expression of that Hito had, Leon knew that his product was already sold and he did not need to try to sell it.

Hito believed Leon because he desperately wanted to. He wanted a way out of this misery and pain from being haunted by these questions filling regrets and doubts in heart. But he knew that Leon was not going to give up the information easily, Leon is here to make a deal not help him, thinking Hito said " state your price. "

Hearing this three word Leon was delighted and revealed beyond words. But he still maintained his calm and said " I want you to take me as your first disciple, teach me your Heartless sword style and pa.s.s on the Owari no ken to me. As for the accuracy of Info you can ask Sukehime sama, she will know about the place I am talking about.''using Sukehime as proof was like telling Hito that Leon got info from Sukehime, Increasing the trust of Hito in Leon's information.

Hito after giving it a thought did not hesitate and said " Ok, I accept since you have Sukehime sama's permission I will choose to trust you, Now tell me the location of the Civilization you were talking about. "

Leon Nodded and said " In the south of the continent by the deccan plateau there is a civilization commonly called Dark elves,like all the elven civilization they also wors.h.i.+p nature but they are mostly known to wors.h.i.+p darkness and death as a part of Nature. It is said that their shaman and holy daughter can contact the dead in their ancestral holy land and they extend this power as a service to those who offer an appropriate price.
