a step back, trying to regain control of the flying knife he had thrown. However, the flying knife was being controlled by a force of lightning that was even stronger than him, and it did not respond..."I remember you received all the medicinal herbs, ores, and other materials you needed for this month's cultivation already. Why are you requesting them again"

Connor sat in the main seat, saying lightly, his violet eyes sharply fixed on Emilio.

Emilio felt a moment of discomfort, then calmly said:

"Father, recently I've felt myself nearing the threshold of a High-level Mage. I plan to make a concerted effort to break through, so my cultivation resources will be consumed at a higher rate."

"I understand, I'll have someone deliver it to your residence."

Even though Connor knew the other person was lying, he didn't expose them. This excuse could work once or twice, but it couldn't be used every time.

Just then, the steward hurried into the main hall and bowed to report:

"Master, the head elder and Elder Six have returned with Young Master Lian."

"This is enough traveling, I finally thought of going home."

Kona's face naturally broke into a smile, and Emilia, seeing this, grew even more sullen.

"Father, I'm home!"

With a stride, Lian Yi stepped into the main hall and shouted loudly.

Connor nodded knowingly, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Where is Elder Six

Connor saw only ripples and opened his mouth to ask.

"Father, the Sixth Elder said he would go to see the Second Elder first. Let me report on my travels to you first, and he will see you later."

Ripples smiled as she explained, and at the same time, stood right in front of Connor.

At this moment, Ripples feigned seeing Emilio and immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Big brother, long time no see! Are you discussing matters with father Then I'll excuse myself."

The ripple in Emily's mouth, the four characters of "long time no see" were bitten a little harder, which made Emilio, who was already guilty, even more annoyed. Especially when he saw the emblem representing a high-level mage and a golden knight on the other party's chest, the hypocritical smile that he was about to show completely disappeared.

"I was just chatting with my father, we didn't talk about anything important."

After saying that, Emilio had adjusted his expression and put on an air of a big brother. He said:

"Little Lian is back, he must have a lot to say to his father. I'll go back first and visit you in two days."

Then he turned and hurriedly left the main hall.

Emilio didn't want to stay and humiliate himself. His younger brother, who was still underage, had already reached the level of a high-level mage and a golden knight. As his elder brother, he felt ashamed. He decided to go find Nana and complain to her.

The annoying person tactfully left, and Ripples sat down next to Conner, picking up the important points about her recent training experience.

Actually, the two of them often communicated through magic circles in their daily lives. Connor knew roughly about Ripple's training process, but when it came to the two attacks, Ripple only mentioned them briefly without going into detail. This time, Connor asked for more details.

After Ethan and his son finished their conversation, it was already dark. Ripples accompanied Connor for dinner before returning to her own courtyard.

...while Connor went to see Elder Six, George, and inquired about the assassination that caused the ripples training to end prematurely. That night, he arranged for people to begin investigating the perpetrator. Although he already had a target in mind, he still wanted concrete evidence.

On the other side, Emilio and Nana met. After seeing each other, they knew about Lian's return to the Rhodemans' house. Her eyes flashed, and she pretended to be worried and said:

"Dear Emilio, will the return of Young Master Lian affect you"

"He's not of age yet, he doesn't pose a threat to me for now."

Emilio is still blindly confident.

But in a short while, he will be an adult. What will you do then Especially since over the past two years he has been traveling and accomplished two very remarkable things, his reputation is getting better and better.

Nana held onto Emilio's hand, worriedly saying,

This time, Emilio fell silent. There was no arguing with the facts that Nana had stated.

Nana seemed to have made up her mind, then lowered her voice and said:

"Dear Emilio, I'm worried about your situation within the family and would like to help. I happen to have a potion on hand that was given to me by a master alchemist I helped before. It can allow the user to advance through any circumstance and even break through in a crisis."

This is my life-saver, and there's only one copy. Now I give it to you, to help you break through to a high-level mage, even a great mage. With such power, it would be good for both yourself and the Rhodemont family. They will also pay more attention to you.

Nana earnestly finished speaking, then took out a bottle of red potion from her bracelet space and handed it to Emilio.

Emiliano was overcome with emotion. He pulled Nana into his arms and exclaimed,

"Nana, you're truly my lucky goddess. With you by my side, I won't be afraid of any difficulties."

Nana also nestled obediently in Emilio's arms, a smile playing on her lips as she said with emotion:

"You're so good to me, you don't mind my status at all and are willing to be with me. I want to treat you twice as well in return. This kind of love makes me feel happy and wonderful. I don't want to let go anymore."

"Thank you, Nana!"

The two of them were lost in each other's arms for a long time before finally parting.

After separating, Emilio took the potion he had in hand and impatiently hurried home to break through.

By the time he returned to his palace, guards had already brought him the breakthrough resources he requested. He stored them all in his waist-band space.

Emilio planned well. If he used the potion Nana gave him to break through, these resources could be fed back to Nana, and he believed the other party would be more devoted to him.

Ten days later, Emilio successfully broke through to the level of a Great Mage. He was very proud of himself, and after breaking through, he went to see Conner to show him that he had not been slacking off and had also been diligently cultivating.

Connor wasn't sure what had allowed Emilio to break through to become a Great Mage, and he didn't ask. He simply had Emilio exchange his badge for one befitting his new rank and offered him words of encouragement.

All in all, Emilio left the main hall with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.

After Emilia changed her badge rank, she took Nana to see Ripple.

After the ripples returned, Lian Yi followed Elder George's instructions and didn't rush to advance her rank. Instead, she borrowed from the family's magical grimoire, enriching the variety of magic formations she mastered.

Some magic circles are really niche, leaning towards everyday life, but they're also quite interesting. Watching and learning along the way makes time fly by quickly.

"Young Master, Emilio Young Master has arrived, and he brought a woman with him."

La Ye quickly walked to Lianyi's side and whispered.

"As my good friend, he usually keeps to himself, but today he seems eager to come over. There must be something exciting he wants to share with me. Let him in!"

Liàn yī closed the magic book before her, smiling and saying to Lā yè.

Yes, Young Master!

Except for here, I have set up magic arrays throughout the rest of my palace. Don't let anyone else run around freely.

The ripples added another sentence.

Concerning the woman named Nana by Emilio's side, Ripples heard her father Connor say that back then she only said "fool," which made Connor laugh. a precaution against an ambush."Let's go see our old friends."Count Lans first got out of the car, followed by Ripples and Lawrence, while Morgan's people were further away and didn't send anyone dir...
