Chapter 8 - Evolist?

Lucius was now glaring back at Magnus and smirking, "You can say that my skills are closely related to beasts, as i am a beast specialized."

Lucius then explained it more: "Although i am weak, i am handsome and also smart so i am really knowledgeable about beasts, either training them or even evolving them."

Magnus, who heard it, immediately became interested in hearing his beast specialty, "So, you say that you are a beast specialist. Are you saying that you are an Evolist?"

Lucius, who heard it, frowned a bit as he had never heard that kind of word in his past life: "Evolist? What is that?"

Magnus and the others were immediately surprised the moment they heard what Lucius had said. They never thought that there were people who didn't know about it. "You don't know what an Evolist is?"

Lucius, who looked at their surprised face, could only ask, "I don't know about it, as this is the first time I heard this word. Care you explain it to me?"

Magnus then immediately laughed as he explained, "Let's see. An Evolist is someone who specializes in evolving beasts. They are highly valued as they are pretty rare."

Lucius, who heard it, immediately understood it. It seemed that it was a new profession that appeared after he became the sacred tree.

"I see, so an Evolist is just someone who evolves beasts? If that's the case, then yes, I suppose I am one, but it seems you misunderstand something here." Lucius said when he heard Magnus' explanation.

Magnus, who heard what Lucius was saying, was a bit confused and asked him. "What do you mean by misunderstanding something? Care to enlighten me?"

Lucius smirked as he explained, "Let me tell you, I am an Evolist and at the same time I am not. Not only can I evolve beasts, but I can make them better."

Magnus, who heard it, immediately became interested. "Better, you say? Then what makes you so special better than Evolists? Care to explain it to me?"

Lucius then smirked again and said, "Why don't you see it later? If I tell you now, then it will not be a surprise to you later, isn't it?"

Magnus immediately laughed after hearing it: "I see. then what's the level of beasts that you can evolve? What's your limit?"

Lucius then looked at Magnus and said, "I have only awakened just last week, so I should be able to evolve a 1-Star Beast to a 2-Star Beast with ease. If I push myself, I can even evolve a 2-Star Beast to a 3-Star Beast."

Magnus and the others who heard what Lucius said about his own ability were immediately shocked. Magnus was the one who was most shocked, as he was the one who usually met Evolist face-to-face.

Magnus then quickly confirmed it again with Lucius: "So, you are saying that you can evolve a beast two levels higher in your current condition."

Lucius immediately nodded as he explained, "That's right. Though I need to tell you that I can't evolve anything as I am just surviving a calamity, and now I am really weak."

Magnus, who heard it, immediately smirked. The Evolists that he knew were so arrogant but were too weak compared to Lucius.

The Evolists that he knew could only evolve beasts one level below their own but for this kid, Lucius, he could even evolve a beast one level higher than him. If what Lucius said was the truth, then he was a genius.

Magnus then smirked and said, "So you are saying that you cannot evolve as you are pretty weak now, right?"

Lucius nodded and explained it, "Yeah, just as I have said earlier, I am too weak for the moment. If I forced it, I would die and I don't want to die yet as I am still young."

Magnus frowned a bit but still he understood Lucius' situation and said. "If that's the case, then follow me. We will get you healed up to see if what you said is real or not."

Magnus then opened the carriage door and shouted at Lucius, "Enter the carriage with me. You will be safer inside this carriage."

Lucius, who was already invited by Magnus, immediately entered the carriage and Magnus, who already saw Lucius entering the carriage immediately turned toward Daxton, the leader of the group.

Magnus looked at him and said, "Daxton, Even though we have a guest here, don't change the destination. Just stayed in the original destination."

Daxton, who heard it, immediately frowned as he reminded him, "But, young master. Our destination is the main estate. Bringing him there might bring some trouble."

Magnus, who heard it didn't falter and said, "I will handle it and also, don't you understand it? He has said that he is better than Evolist and if he really is, then it will be good for our family."

Daxton could only sigh after hearing it and also understood it but he still hesitated and asked again, "But what if he's lying? What if he is just a scammer?"

Magnus smirked and immediately comforted Daxton, "Don't you worry. If he is a scammer, then it will be easier for us to handle him as we are in the main state."

Daxton could only sighed after being comforted by Magnus, "Very well, young master, if it is what you want. I will make sure to make our journey comfortable."

Magnus smiled after Daxton agreed to him and said, "Good and now let's continue our journey back to the main estate."

Magnus then entered the carriage and closed the door while Daxton began to prepare to continue their journey. 

Magnus, who was inside the carriage, was surprised to see that Lucius was already asleep. It seemed that what he said was true, as he was really weak now.

Magnus, who looked at the sleeping Lucius, only thought, "I hope that you are really a real deal and not a scammer. But if you really are a scammer, then your life will be worse than now." Magnus smirked as he thought about Lucius.
