Chapter 79: Chapter 78: The Steward’s Thoughts (Please Follow!)
Returning to Bright City and bidding farewell to Arsen, Ailina, and the others, Lis brought Angela back to his own family mansion.
“Young Master!”
As Bender was leading the horses around in the courtyard, he spotted Lis approaching and quickly came over to pay his respects.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed from within the house; the maid Rossi hurriedly opened the front door, standing aside to welcome the master of the house home.
Angela lay on top of Lis’s head, her eyes wide with curiosity as she surveyed her surroundings.
Since entering Bright City, Angela felt overwhelmed by the sights.
...
How could there be so many humans? Below were just ugly skeletons and walking corpses.
The houses built along the streets looked so pretty, much nicer than the gloomy Ghost Mansion she used to live in!
Was the food those people were selling human food? It looked so delicious.
During their two-day journey on the road, Lis had asked Angela what she wanted to eat, originally planning to get some fresh blood from elsewhere.
However, Angela wasn’t very interested in fresh blood. She could eat it, but it wasn’t necessary; she could obtain the blood essence she needed from the heart of a Duke-level Vampire.
Instead, Angela was quite interested in what Lis was eating, nibbling on the fruits and cakes he kept in his storage ring.
Being able to move about freely under the sun, and not craving fresh blood.
This made Lis very curious; was she still considered a Vampire?
Nodding to the servants as they bowed, Lis, with Angela on his head, walked into the living room.
“Prepare dinner for three, please!”
Lis instructed Rossi, who quickly agreed, sneaking a curious glance at the little white creature on Lis’s head before hurrying to the kitchen to make arrangements.
Was this pet brought home by Young Master Lis? So cute.
“Lis, Lis!”
Angela scratched Lis’s head and asked.
“What was that thing the person earlier put in front of him? Why was it so big?”
So big? Was she talking about Rossi?
Lis’s face took on a weird expression as he said,
“That’s their special technique, extremely deadly to males.”
“It’s that powerful?”
Angela’s eyes sparkled.
“Can I have one too?”
“You’ll get a chance.”
All Lis could say was that, although he thought Angela hadn’t developed such a thing despite living so long and doubted she ever would.
Angela, who had been pondering this, saw Rossi carrying up the prepared dinner and quickly flew to the table, burying herself into the fruit sponge cake.
Lis shook his head and sat down to enjoy his own dinner.
Having rushed back without stopping for a proper rest and only snacking on some dry food, Lis was eager to eat something warm.
Just then, the butler Joey approached with several letters in hand; it seemed these had accumulated during the two days Lis had been away.
Joey caught sight of the white Little Bat gorging on sponge cake on the table and paused slightly in his steps.
A Golden-level Vampire munching on sponge cake?
It looked strange, but its strength was undeniable.
What was going on? Was this something Little Lis brought back?
Joey’s gaze shifted back to Lis, his pupils narrowing a bit.
This…?
Silver Level?
Though Lis was deliberately concealing his aura, it was futile against the perception of a Legendary-strong being.
This was clearly the expression of someone who had recently undergone a life sublimation, taking a significant step forward on the transcendental path.
At eighteen, a Silver Level Mage could be considered excellent.
But to Joyce, it was nothing special, after all, even a Gold-level Mage wouldn’t last more than a moment under his Dagger.
However, an eighteen-year-old Silver Level Arcanist took on an entirely different meaning.
Lis had a real chance to reach the Legendary Domain within a few decades and arrive at the realm that Joyce was in!
But Joyce clearly remembered that just a few days ago when Lis had left the house, he had just broken through to the High-level Bronze, still quite a distance from the Silver Level.
In just a few days, his strength had soared rapidly, even achieving a breakthrough in rank!
It seemed there were secrets to Little Lis!
A rare smile appeared on Joyce’s face with no intention of prying.
Having secrets is great! Which powerful being doesn’t have their own secrets and fortuitous encounters?
Even a genius like him wouldn’t dare to claim he could achieve legend status without meeting Mr. Kane, without the gifts and assistance from the Kane family.
Joyce was very happy, extremely happy, that Lis had broken through to Silver.
He also didn’t want to hand over the true heritage of the Kane family to others, even if the old man had instructed him to, even if that young girl was a true unparalleled genius.
What of a genius?
After all, it was Lis who had the true bloodline of the Kane family running through his veins.
In the past, Joyce had been worried about whether or not to fulfill the old man’s last wishes, but now, no more worries!
Little Lis wasn’t much less than the young girl.
Joyce thought a lot in an instant, shifting his gaze to Angela.
Having this Vampire by Little Lis’s side was still dangerous, maybe he should …
Angela suddenly had a foreboding feeling of impending disaster and quickly withdrew her head from the midst of the muffins to look around.
What’s going on???
Such a terrifying sensation!
Lis hadn’t noticed Angela’s odd behavior and saw Joyce approaching, he spoke:
“Joyce, this is my friend I brought back, Angela.”
“She saved my life, please do your best to accommodate her, and it would be great if you could inform the other servants.”
Although the stewards and servants in the house were all Humans, they were aware of the existence of transcendent beings, and a talking Little Bat wouldn’t be more than a surprise to them.
“Understood, you must be Miss Angela.”
Joyce nodded to indicate he understood, so this Little Bat should be fine, it seemed not to have threatened Little Lis with force.
Just observe for a bit longer, no rush.
Angela felt the chilling threat disappear, scratching her head, was it just her imagination?
Glancing up at the elegant-looking old butler, having heard from Lis that she should look for him for meals from now on, Angela nodded at him in a friendly manner.
This old man is okay, I’ve got your back from now on!
Joyce was unaware of Angela’s thoughts, only feeling this white Little Bat was a bit odd.
It was somewhat like those freaks from the south!
Lis took the letters of the past few days from Joyce’s hands and examined them.
As expected, most were formalized invitations to parties from the Nobles.
Lis was not interested since he had decided to rebuild his knowledge foundation of Spell theory, he was always short on time.
Spending his days delving into the thick Magic Books, even though the knowledge was all in his mind, reading was a process of revisiting and reorganizing the knowledge he controlled, which was very time-consuming.
From time to time, Lis also had to practice and operate the spells himself, thankfully, for now, it was just about grasping the properties of basic Magic Elements and fundamental Magic Runes, otherwise, just verifying his ideas would take a great deal of effort.
There was also a summary of information sent by Mora, which Lis flipped through without noting any new changes.
Only that the price increases of food and weapons goods were becoming more pronounced, indicating that the movements of the Second Prince were getting larger.
Great, the bigger the move, the better. Just worried about how to catch you in the act, right?
