"You want to work for me?" Leo was dumbfounded as he stared straight at Steve's eyes, wondering if he heard him correctly or not.

He was just preparing to leave towards the Will City a few minutes ago, but then he was suddenly stopped by Steve who called out to his name. No, he didn't call out his name as he doesn't know what it was yet, rather he screamed, "Mister Slave Hunter!"

Because of that, Big Rat and the other Bandits who were still busily counting their gold coins in excitement and joy can't help themselves staring in his direction for a few seconds before frantically running inside the forest.

"Yes, I want to work for you, even if you only pay me 10 copper coins every single day." Steve said.

"Nah, I'd rather not," Leo didn't hesitate to refuse. He mounted on his horse and said, "And besides, what job would I need you for?"

"I can be your maid? No, I mean your Butler! I can also cook for you, do all sorts of chores, maybe hunt for food if ever you're feeling hungry, I can handle ordinary Magical Beast since I'm strong enough to hunt them alone. Oh, maybe you need a cannon fodder. Wait, that's so stupid of me... Yes, I can be your chauffeur! You are out adventuring, right? Thus, a chauffeur would be good for you!" Steve quickly started proposing jobs that he could do, without feeling a tinge of any shame or embarrassment. He was basically showing how thick his skin was.

Leo's eyes can't help twitching while listening to Steve's words, "I don't need a Butler, since I long already have one and you will also not be able to replace his place. I don't need a chef, a hunter, nor do I even need to have a stupid cannon fodder. And lastly, where the heck did you even get the idea of becoming my chauffeur? Do you see any carriages around me?!"

"You can turn one of those unknown entities into one, just like how you turn one into a throne." Steve immediately answered.

"You..." Leo was immediately left speechless as to how thoroughly Steve has prepared in his goal of wanting to work for him. Though it only lasted for half a second later as he realized the benefits of his proposal. He thought, "I could indeed use a chauffeur, as it is so troublesome to ride on a horse, hmm..."

Finally, Leo accepted Steve's proposal on becoming his chauffeur, but in one condition, "I will accept your proposal to become my chauffeur, but on the condition that you will never ever question what I want you to do. If I say that you drive the carriage into a sea of flames, don't ask, just do it. If I say that you drive it on a mountain of swords, don't ask, just do it! Am I clear?!"

"Okay!" Steve didn't bother thinking about it as he decided to immediately accept Leo's conditions.

"Good!" Leo said before jumping down the horse and summoning a Nature Elemental. He then quickly sent a command to the Nature Elemental to turn into a carriage.

Whoooosh!

The Nature Elemental soon after turned into a small wooden carriage.

"You know what to do," Leo said before entering the Nature Elemental who has turned into a carriage.

"Yes, Mister Slave Hunter!" Steve nodded his head delightfully as he quickly runs towards the horse and pulled its leash. He then tied it on the carriage before jumping on the chauffeur's seat.

"Where are we heading, Mister Slave Hunter?" Steve tap on the carriage.

"Go to the direction of the Yellow Forest." Leo soon replied inside the carriage. He then quickly added, "And also, don't call me Mister Slave Hunter, call me Loki!"

"Okay, Mister Loki!" Steve said before urging the horse to go towards the direction of the Yellow Forest.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Leo was spending his time studying the Nature Elemental in a carriage form, trying to understand something about it.

"Unlike that time I turned the Wind Elemental into a flying sword and rode on it, the Nature Elemental on the other hand seems to not have any set duration, just like that Earth Elemental on a throne form a while ago. So, does this mean that depending on the item or object I want the Elementals to turn into, it wouldn't have any set duration?" Leo thought to himself before summoning an Earth Elemental.

"Turn yourself into a sword," Leo ordered the Earth Elemental.

Whooosh!

Without wasting any time, the Earth Elemental quickly turned itself into an Earth Sword, which Leo immediately grabbed.

"Then let's try the Wind Elemental," Leo said before quickly summoning a Wind Elemental. As soon as it was summoned, he immediately told it to become a sword, just like the Earth Elemental.

Whooosh!

The Wind Elemental immediately turned into a Wind Sword.

"Oh, my assumption seems to be on point!" Leo smiled.

Unlike the Earth Sword that didn't have any duration or time limit, the Wind Sword was slowly disappearing as time ticks on.

"I think this can be explained by the fact that wind is not solid to begin with, hence although it could still turn into a form of a solid item it wouldn't be able to last for long as it doesn't have any way for itself to hold together. Unlike the earth, which is a solid material and can hold itself together."

Whooosh!

The Wind Sword finally disappeared after one minute and a half, much longer than what it was used to before in the past. Well, he has already grown powerful, so it was expected to be that way.

"Then following this logic," Leo waved his hand to hit the sword onto the wall of the carriage.

Bang!

"Just like what I expected," Leo thought to himself.

The moment the Earth Sword hit the carriage, although it didn't get destroyed into pieces, noticeable damage still appeared on its surface, specifically cracks have formed. At the same time, he also felt in his consciousness the damage both the Earth Elemental and Nature Elemental has taken.

"So, although it doesn't have any duration, it instead has durability. This seems logical indeed," Leo was quickly able to understand the reasoning behind it. Just like any solid-base weapon, the more he used it, the lesser its durability will become, just like what has happened to the Earth Sword.

"Then I supposed the more damage the Nature Elemental receives in a carriage form, the more it gets destroy until it finally can't hold on anymore." Leo massages his chin. Suddenly, he thought of something that he had first experimented about the Elementals in the past, "But what if I do this,"

After saying that, Leo immediately began absorbing Nature Element Mana and transferred it to the Nature Elemental. After enough time passed, the damage the Earth Sword has caused on the carriage was showing obvious signs of regenerating.

"Just like what I expected, hahaha!" Leo can't help himself from chuckling. He added, "As long as I keep on sending Nature Element Mana on the Nature Elemental every time its durability reaches near its limit, then I wouldn't need to worry anymore about it getting destroyed. With this, I don't need to buy myself a carriage, which saves me lots of money!"

"How about I also apply this," Leo said before ordering the Earth Elemental to combine together with the Nature Elemental.

Whoooosh!

Suddenly, the wooden carriage before now has a few parts around its body with smooth stones.

"What the!" Steve who was driving the carriage outside was also shocked at the sudden change, "Mister Loki, was that your doing?"

"Yes, just don't mind me and focus on your job," Leo replied calmly.

"Okay, Mister Loki!"

"How about I add something that can boost this carriage..." Leo thought to himself as he prepared to summon a Wind Elemental, but he quickly stopped as he realized something, "Better do it next time when there is no horse to avoid any unexpected accident. My plan might just cause me more trouble..."

Truth be told, what he was really planning to do was to summon a Wind Elemental and make it act like the carriage's booster, specifically he would put the Wind Elemental somewhere with a convenient location around the carriage and then order it to push the carriage forward. In such a way, it would make this carriage fast.

His idea was really good, seriously, the only problem, however, is that his current situation right now doesn't allow him to experiment with such a thing.

It was really unfortunate that there is a horse pulling the carriage right now, so if he indeed applies his experiment, he might just, in turn, hit the horse or even make the horse run faster, which in both cases means a huge and troublesome problem. The former would cause an accident, while the latter would immediately exhaust the horse.

If only he knew of this idea a while back before, then he could have long made a new kind of carriage.

Oh, wait, wasn't this kind of idea actually exist already... It's similar to those books he has read before about the Humans' way of quickly traveling around the cities back on Earth.

If his memories serve him right, wasn't it called a car?

"So does this mean I have the ability to make that awesome technology?!" Leo exclaimed delightfully in his mind. If one day he could indeed do that, then how cool would it be? Imagine, everyone is riding on horse-pulled carriages or at best Magical Beast-pulled carriages, while he, on the other hand, is riding in a car!

"Can't wait to try doing that!"
