Chapter 33: Importance of Potion Master.
Creak...
In an instant after opening the door, the head of the little child poked out warily. Seeing the humans in the distance, the child releases a weak surprised gasp before scanning the group one by one.
Meow?
"Shhh." The blue-robed child gestured toward the cat beside him to be silent as he looked at the particular human in the distance in delight.
"Sister!" He delightedly shouted before running toward the teenager in the distance.
Hearing the voice of the child, Leo and the group cast their gaze toward the running child in unison.
"Roy? Roy, I finally found you...sob." Kristine, the teenager upon seeing the familiar child in the distance, sobbed happily as she instantly vanished in her current location before appearing beside the child. Catching the running child toward her arms.
"Sob... Sob... Are you okay, did anything hurt? Sob... Sebastian, can you cast Heal and Cleanse toward my brother?"
The teenager cried as she asked the man in the distance to cast skill toward her brother.
Not knowing what to do, Leo awkwardly distances himself from the group as he watches the man cast his healing and cleanse skills toward the child in the distance.
Ehh? That cat...
As he was watching the reunion of the sister and brother, Leo caught sight of the white cat beside the child.
Surprisingly, the appearance of the white cat changed greatly from the last time he saw it. Other than its cartoonish figure that becomes more realistic, its original one pure white tail that was devoid of any impurities becomes two!
As if feeling that someone was staring at it, the grey irises of the white cat looked at Leo's figure in the distance before meowing slightly.
"???"
"Are you thanking me?"
Leo instinctively thought as he stared at the gratification in the eyes of the cat. Scratching his head slightly, Leo nodded toward the white cat.
Weird...
"Do you know him?", As Leo was staring at the white cat, the robust man who was holding a heavy shield, unhurriedly approached Leo before asking.
"... No, but I tailed behind them after meeting him a week ago." Leo honestly replied to the robust man meters away from him.
Although he wanted to lie and create a good reason and image toward them. Leo decided to become truthful since he was not aware if there were some skills that could pinpoint if someone was Lying or not.
Hearing Leo's words, the robust man's brows furrowed slightly before nodding afterward.
"I see, are you really not part of any settlement?"
"Sigh, I'm not, I only survive by following the back of the horde... Then I saw the child weeks ago when another horde appeared... "
The robust man's eyes lit up upon hearing Leo's words. "Since you're not part of any settlement, why not join ours?"
"Can I?" Leo said.
Although he was still wary about the other party, upon seeing the teenager and the child in the distance, he knew and there are huge probability that they were not bad.
Besides that, Leo's first plan in the first place is to meet humans... In addition, Leo was not willing to become alone again.
"Yes, but we need to know your usefulness to the town. Don't misunderstand my words, but we really need something that could help us to face the monster or to help us to increase our strength to protect the town."
Leo nodded his head as he began to ponder about his options...
Thinking about something else that could be beneficial to him at the same time might help the other party's town, Leo's eyes couldn't help but to light up.
Isn't this great? Two birds with one stone.
Raising his head slightly as he looked directly at the robust man beside him, Leo replied in an unconfident voice.
"I have a class job that leans toward Potions and Puppets, would that count in?"
Ehh?
"Your class job leans on Potions?
"Hahaha, Great, truly great, I didn't expect that we would get another potion master to the town!"
The robust man suddenly laughed out loud as he slapped the heavy shield in delight, causing Leo to jump backward in wariness.
Seeing Leo's sudden action and wariness toward him, the robust man awkwardly smiled as he cast an apologetic gaze toward Leo.
Although the robust man was previously wary that Leo was a spy or probably part of another settlement earlier. However, upon hearing that Leo's class job leaned toward Potion making/creation, the suspicion toward Leo suddenly vanishes into thin air.
What is potion-making?
A potion that could grant buff upon consumption for a period of time! Heck, there are even some cases in which some potions can permanently increase stats!
It could be said that the strength of their town would increase by a huge amount if they managed to convince Leo to join their town!
Since potion masters could increase the overall strength of any settlement by level, who would be willing to use him as a spy?
Besides that, the robust man also knew that having a job that was inclined toward potion-making meant that Leo at least had a Rare Class Job!
Since there is also puppetry, doesn't that mean he might have an epic-class job?
Thinking of this, the robust man's eyes lit up as he was more determined to make Leo join their town.

After minutes of crying, Kristine patted the head of Roy as she stood up, "It's good that you're okay... Oh, you reach foundation level 1?"
Kristine yelled slightly as she looked at his brother in surprise.
Hearing the voice of his sister, Roy pumps his chest proudly before petting the white cat on the ground.
"Kitty said that if not for the big brother there, we would not advance peacefully."
"Brother?"
