“There are many amazing things in this world. Wouldn't it be nice if we could see all that?”
“Life is short Leon, we both have the same interest in seeing the world. Tell me, do you want to accompany me in seeing this world?”
“Stop it, Alex, you make it sound like you're proposing to me. You're not really gay, are you?"
Alex giggled at that. “Of course not stupid. I am still straight and still want women.”
"Haaahhh... Sometimes, your nature makes me forget whether you are really gay or not." Leon laughed when he said it. “So, Best Friends Forever?”
“Best Friends Forever.”
Until the time when we have explored all this world. We will be together in sickness and in sorrow. Leon and Alex said at the same time.
It was a happy memory that made Leon smile.
“Somehow it feels like a proposal. I should have rejected him when he suggested that line.” Leon shivered as he remembered his past.
Actually, there is a continuation of that sentence. But Leon rejected it without hesitation when he heard it.
“Well, I'm glad he found a suitable partner for him. That proves that Alex is not gay. Just a Weird Friend.”
That's right, just a Weird Friend.
"Mr. Leon, is there anything you want to ask?" Niki asked Leon.
Along the way, he and Rose had told Leon many things. Starting from the history and various products that Austin Farmland offers.
Even though Leon was lost in memories of his past, he didn't miss a single bit of Niki's explanation. “Say, is there anyone you guys are selling that has the Traits of Great Destiny?”
“This... It's a little difficult, Mr. Leon. People who have the Traits of Great Destiny have complicated requirements. Even though we captured some, their Destiny Characteristics are really troublesome to deal with.”
Rose also added, “I suggest that you don't get someone with the Great Destiny trait. As long as their Destiny is not fulfilled, all kinds of unreasonable things will break the contract.”
"I know. Just tell me quickly whether you have it or not."
“We have several. Rose, bring them to Mr. Leon."
"Good." Rose snapped her fingers and 10 people came in carrying 5 people who had their hands and feet handcuffed. They were dragged along the ground by 5 other people who showed sour faces.
Instantly Leon's notification lit up and sent messages repeatedly in his head.
[A person with the Great Destiny trait is detected.]
[A person with the Great Destiny trait is detected.]

Five people… If he recruited all of them, wouldn't this mean that the main quest he was on would soon be completed?

3 men and 2 women.
“Is this all you have?” Leon asked curiously.
“We actually have a few more. But due to frequent strange occurrences, we decided to throw them away and let them fulfill their destiny. So the only ones left are those who are weak enough for now.”
Rose ordered them to be lifted and the guards immediately lifted the five people. “You may check it, Mr.Leon. Even though their condition is quite bad, we will immediately clean them before handing them over to you.”
Rose invited Leon to see the five people who were handcuffed. They all looked shabby and barely wore any clothes. Only a sheet covered them.
“Wake up, you bastard.” the guards forcibly withdrew their respective prisoners. There was no compassion in their expressions or tone. Just anger and annoyance.
The five people could only hold back and couldn't do anything. They felt and experienced torture and flogging very often as if it was something that would definitely happen every day.
When their blindfolds were removed, what they saw for the first time after being confined in their small cauldron was the figure of a man dressed all in black with a staff in his hand. His eyes showing different colors do not give a strange impression but blend perfectly with the glasses he wears.
For a time that they could no longer count, they seemed to see a savior from that terrible prison. A young woman couldn't take her eyes off Leon.
From the moment She was born until she grew up, Leon was the only person she saw besides the cruel guard who looked after her.
“Watch your eyes, lowly slave. Don't pollute Mr. Leon with your rotten views." A guard behind him immediately smashed his head onto the ground.
The other guards also did the same and hit their heads on the ground. No one snorted displeased or angry at this treatment.
They just kept quiet and didn't say anything.
“Are they always treated like this?” Leon asked curiously.
“Unfortunately so. Strange and terrible incidents have often been experienced by the guardians of these people. Managing creatures with the Great Destiny trait is not easy. The providence they possess is so unreasonable and truly terrifying.” Niki picked up one of the women who didn't take her eyes off Leon.
“Just this woman, for example. He had something called perfection inheritance. With this Talent, she can always steal the body of another person who killed her and reverse the death she had with the death of the person who killed her.” Niki said while pointing at the disfigured body the woman had.
The disability in question is not a physical disability. But rather a flaw in the foundation that Magi should have. Even though his eyes are blind, his ears cannot hear, and his mouth cannot speak, but at least he can see with the constitution of this body which accepts the kinetic movements that occur in the world.
“Because of that, we made her kill a disabled person and forced him to switch bodies. Even so, it only led to eliminating the bad factors coming from this person alone. There are so many strange phenomena that could happen.”
Leon was silent while looking at the woman in front of him.
This… what kind of talent does he have? Isn't this a little unreasonable?
Practically speaking, doesn't the talent that this woman has to make her immortal?
“Is there a limit in the body that she can seize?”
Rose immediately answered. “We never know the limits this woman has. Maybe Master knows.”
“Then… Hmm…” Leon was about to choose the woman in front of him before he felt a strange feeling. Leon immediately mobilized the mana in his body and formed various kinds of magic barriers in front of him.
Niki and Rose stood in front of Leon and did everything they could to protect him. But those feelings weren't directed at Leon or the others, but at the woman in front of them.
Before he could say anything, the woman's body disappeared without a trace. Leaving only a small letter and a piece of silver plaque with a sprinkling of white dust around it.
He could feel the fragrance and smell of the medicine from the person on the plaque.
"What just happened?" Leon was shocked and speechless.
Niki took the letter and read it. “To Austin Farmland. Your products have caught my attention. Convey my apologies to your master and the owner of this place for carelessly barging in and the person who wanted to buy this woman.”
“Currently, I am at the crucial stage of alchemy and need this woman's talent. I know that this product was not originally shown to me, so I will provide other compensation to people who want to buy this girl. Even though there aren't many please leave this book to Austin Farmland and this 7 color Pixie to the buyers of this woman. If fate brings us together, you can visit Minisule Vial with this letter. You will be our guest of honor.”
“That's what this guy said.” Niki handed the letter to Leon.
Rose took a glance at the letter and knew who the person who sent the letter was. "That crazy guy is doing it again? Niki, is that person's purchasing time over?”
“That should be it. The last time that person bought something, it was more than 100 years ago.” Niki handed the letter to Leon. "The owner of the letter gave this Pixie to you and this letter is handed over to you."
Leon received the letter with a strange expression on his face.
