Shaking his head with a smile, Igert directly returned to sit by the window. The young man’s gaze fell on the white quilt not far away, which rose and fell with the girl’s playful movements, and the beautiful young girl covered beneath it.
Igert suppressed the smile on his face.
Although he had only been with Verafia for a short three days, Igert had gradually become familiar with this young lady who seemed to still possess a childlike nature.
Igert wasn’t particularly surprised. Even though the girl sometimes seemed very alert and intelligent, she was still only a little phoenix that had just hatched a few days ago.
“This way isn’t bad, a young lady with a childlike temper. If I can always go along with her wishes, at least I don’t have to worry too much about accidentally being roasted and eaten by her…”
Thinking of this, Igert’s gaze momentarily fell on his wrist under his sleeve.
Outside the window, the deep dark night sky cast the faint light of shimmering stars onto the young man’s slightly solemn face.
Although everything seemed normal, Igert still remembered the extremely dangerous golden flames hidden within.
Even though Verafia didn’t seem to harbor any ill will towards him, it wasn’t really a good feeling to have the power of life and death controlled by someone else.
“And Lord Lothel, in the end, died by her hand.”
Igert’s gaze on the girl took on a hint of complexity.
Although he also knew that he shouldn’t be too harsh on the girl because of this, whenever he thought of it, Igert couldn’t help but feel a slight barrier in his heart.
Although, in the eyes of that little phoenix, what he thought might not be that important.
Igert smiled at himself self-deprecatingly. He really didn’t know how to treat this dazzling and beautiful girl, like a sun gem.
She had saved his life. Although she seemed to order him around, she was indeed teaching the knowledge of Lord Lothel with great care, but Lord Lothel…
“Forget it, it’s useless to dwell on it. Can I really go and get revenge on her for this? Besides, my own life is still in this young lady’s hands.”
Igert shook his head and swept away these useless杂绪, then silently recited a few phrases, reminding himself not to anger this young lady before meeting his father, lest he lose his life.
The young man calmed his mind and began to try the cultivation technique that Verafia had just taught him last night.
…
Igert, who was meditating and practicing, and constantly experimenting, naturally did not notice the completely different expression in the girl’s golden eyes, which were secretly revealed from between the quilt as she lifted it, behind him.
Amidst the beautiful and luxurious golden flames, a hint of distinct, clear, and cold light.
“It’s really tiring to pretend to be a young lady with a childlike temper… Oh well, at least no one can think I might be Lothel.”
Verafia mocked herself in her heart.
The girl slightly raised her pupils, and the clear light in her eyes fell on Igert not far away.
With her understanding and her spiritual power’s subtle Perception of Igert’s body and the surrounding air, she naturally knew that the young man was trying the cultivation technique she had told him.
“This guy…”
Through their interactions over these three days, Verafia also came to understand Igert quite a bit.
“He’s smart, persistent, and not at all arrogant and overbearing like ordinary nobles. Moreover, although this young man always cautiously agrees with me, he also has his own principles.”
The girl blinked her slender Eyelashes slightly, and the scorching gold color in her Pupils flowed like tranquil and magnificent flames.
This could be seen from the words he said to those three Thieves and his help to the dwarf Blacksmith.
Of course, the most obvious was his unwavering Persistence, even after she had probed him several times, concerning Lothel, who had almost no good reputation in the entire world.
Making him her “inheritor” was clearly not a bad decision… although his talent was a bit lacking, it wasn’t unfixable.
Thinking of this, the girl’s lips curved into a small smile.
She looked at her slender and delicate palm again.
The power contained in the Magic Crystal of that “Fire Dragon Wolf King,” although indeed a drop in the bucket for her current state, should not have yielded no ripples at all.
If she added the Dragon Crystal Flame Burst Tree, perhaps it would be enough to practice that one Magic Potion.
“This guy is getting a bargain.”
Verafia blinked her eyes and looked at the young man again, a hint of Hesitation surfacing in her heart, wondering whether she should guide him now.
——
Sword Intent focused the mind, turning decay into reality.
The transaction Igert had made with Verafia, which made him willing to be the girl’s Attendant, was to teach Igert the Inheritance of the former Lothel.
Regarding this, Verafia naturally had no intention of withholding anything.
Therefore, when she was bored yesterday, in addition to reorganizing and filling in the loopholes of the “Sword Qi Outline,” which was the foundation but now full of flaws, she also wrote some follow-up cultivation methods to tell him.
“Sword Qi… How can it be integrated into Dou Qi as she said, instead of resisting each other? If Dou Qi is the foundation of Power, and what she said, originating from the Sword, is ‘Sword Qi,’ what is its Existence?”
Igert meditated and pondered, and within his body, a subtle but strong enough energy flowed and washed.
As a disciple from a large Family, Igert had also cultivated high-quality Dou Qi cultivation methods.
However, due to talent limitations, he had made no progress in several years. Coupled with his reverence for the strongest Swordsman of the past, he had resolutely chosen the “Sword Qi school,” which the world considered to have no future, disregarding his Father and Shiel’s objections.
The reason was none other than the difficulty of finding subsequent inheritances. The “Sword Qi school” did not cultivate the Dou Qi seed rooted in Human bloodline since ancient times, but rather the completely opposite “Sword Qi.”
And the further one cultivated, the more severe the damage to one’s Dou Qi became, eventually leading to stagnation or even directly harming the foundation.
However, in the girl’s words yesterday, she seemed quite surprised by this statement.
“For you weak little humans, Dou Qi is definitely an unshakable foundation. That powerful human named Lothel wasn’t an idiot, how could he create such a self-harming method that even I dislike? Hmm… you figure it out slowly, I’m going to sleep!”
“Miss Verafia’s meaning is that these two can coexist… But why has my cultivation over the past few years also been weakening my Dou Qi?”
Igert was puzzled. Suddenly, a girl’s voice, as clear as a jade spring, but with a hint of disdain, appeared in the silent air around him.
“It means that the ‘Sword Qi’ you cultivated before was completely fake and inferior! I clearly explained it yesterday, why haven’t you figured it out yet? Really…”
Igert turned his face in surprise. The girl, who had silently approached him, had her arms crossed. The delicate, jade-white Little Face was slightly illuminated by the faint light of the stars, and she said with pursed lips.
