Talent Swallowing System

In front of Leo's manor, Phirie City,

"Are you sure you want to follow me?"

Leo asked one last time, looking at more than 100 young men and women standing before him.

"Yes, Sir Leo. We are willing to follow you for the rest of our lives."

They replied in a loud and clear voice, making Leo nod his head in satisfaction.

To be exact, 112 young people were standing in front of Leo, and they were none other than those who Leo freed from their enslavement seals.

After returning from New Starlight City to Phirie City, Leo gathered around 250 people he freed and asked how many were willing to follow him.

Only 112 decided to follow him because they were orphans and didn't have anywhere to go.

As for the others, they want to search for their families and return to them.

Even though they were unwilling to follow him, Leo didn't force them and even promised them that the 'Order of the Healing Angels' would help them find their families.

"Then, let's go."

With a single wave of his hand, Leo and those who swore to follow him for the rest of their lives disappeared.

The 112 young men who decided to follow Leo had multiple reasons for making their decision to follow.

The first and foremost reason is Leo was rich and powerful.

'In this dangerous world, following somone powerful is the best thing to do. Moreover, he removed our enslavement slaves, I can repay him by doing menial works.'

More or less, everyone had the same thought, and they only thought of repaying Leo with menial works because no one had awakened their talents.

Most of them were not given a chance to enter the 'Hall of the Gods' when they were ten, and a few of them were unlucky not to awaken any talent. Therefore, they could only think of repaying Leo by doing menial talents.

...…

In front of City Hall, Floating City,

'Wow…where are we?'

'They look just like the City Hall and the Hall of the Gods but they look more majestic and divine than the ones I had seen in the past.'

'Yes. That 'Hall of the Gods' looks more divine than any 'Hall of the Gods' I have ever seen.'

The young men who appeared in the Floating City were surprised at the City Hall and the Hall of the Divine Gods.

"Welcome to Golden Hawk City."

Amidst their curious looks regarding this new city, they heard Leo's words, who walked out of the City Hall with a small elf fairy flying behind him.

The small elf fairy was the city manager that he bought with 25 million Hero Coins.

"Those who want to become the citizens of this city have to pledge."

Soon, the elf fairy flew into the sky, emitted a golden light, and continued, "Repeat after me."

"From this day on forth, I will never betray the City Leader Leo and the Golden Hawk City and I am willing to contribute my best efforts in developing this city."

"From this day on forth, I will….."

Even though they were still a little confused by the sudden words of the small elf fairy, they didn't hesitate to repeat her words.

Since they have already decided to follow Leo and repay him for saving them, the young men pledged with sincerity.

"Now, bow to the City Leader to officially become the citizens of this city."

Along with them, the elf fairy also bowed to Leo, showing that she was also someone whose authority lies below the City Leader.

"Thanks for accepting us, City Leader."

Everyone was happy to become citizens and felt like they finally had a place to call 'Home'.

"City leader, they are now ofifcally your citizens. You can activate the 'Hall of the Divine Gods' to awaken their talents."

As the city manager, the elf fairy informed Leo what he had to do.

"Okay."

Leo nodded, looked at the 112 newly became citizens in front of him, and muttered in a low voice, 'Show me the loyalty points.'

Even though he could tell that almost everyone was excited to repay him by helping him, a human heart can change quickly.

Moreover, Leo was curious to see how the loyalty points would be shown.

Therefore, he decided to check it out before sending them into the 'Hall of the Divine Gods'.

[Selphie, Loyalty (100/100)]

[Nathan, Loyalty (85 / 100)]

[Jacob, Loyalty (83 / 100)]

.

.

[Riley, Loyalty (75 / 100)]

.

.

[Elena, Loyalty (85 / 100)]

Soon, pop-up notifications appeared above everyone's heads, including the elf fairy's head, who was loyal to him and his city.

'It is much higher than I thought.'

As for 112 citizens, they have varying loyalty points from 75 to 85, which was much higher than what Leo was expecting.

A person would only think of betraying when the loyalty points are below 25 points.

Hence, Leo thought these newly accepted citizens would have around 50 points. So, 75 to 85 was a much bigger number than he thought.

'I think it is because they were orphans and didn't have anything to call Home until now. So, of course they want to protect the city and develop it.'

As someone who was an orphan, Leo knew even a little warmth shown by others would be a great deal for him.

And that's how he was willing to go as far as risking his life to take revenge against the Slave Marker, who killed the two most important people in his life.

"Everyone, you can enter the 'Hall of the Divine Gods' and awaken the talents."

Coming out of his thoughts, Leo said in a calm voice. He continued, "Even though you have all missed the chance of awakening the talents for various reasons, I will give you an opportunity to awaken the talents once again."

"What? Can we still awaken the talents?"

"City Leader, I have already failed to awaken when I was ten. Is it really okay to enter the Hall of the Gods?"

Everyone was surprised; however, Leo nodded and assured them they would awaken a talent.

"This is not a 'Hall of the Gods'; instead, it is a 'Hall of the Divine Gods' that can awaken the talents from all the humas."

"Hall of the Divinve Gods?"

As soon as they got the confirmation from Leo, everyone became excited and looked at the 'Hall of the Divine Gods' with stars in their eyes.

"Open"

With a single word from Leo, the huge golden-coloured doors of the Hall of the Divine Gods opened.

"You can enter now."

"Yes, Ciy Leader."

No one hesitated and entered the Hall of the Divine Gods.

'Creak'

The huge doors closed as soon as they entered the Hall of the Divine Gods, and the entire building started shining brightly.

'I wonder if anyone with a special talent will appear fom this batch.'

According to the information he had on the 'Hall of the Divine Gods', from every 1000 awakened humans, there would be at least one person who awakens a special talent.

Even though there were only 112 members, Leo wondered whether he would be lucky.

'Ding,

The awakening in the 'Hall of the Divine Gods' has successfully been completed.

'So soon.'

Leo was surprised to see the huge doors open as his citizens walked out with excited smiles.
