The days of exploration were a little dull, but not boring.
During the day, he would travel, and during his free time, he would find his sister-in-law to practice his swordsmanship. At night, he would enter Harloys' Soul World to study magic. At the very least, he felt that his life was quite fulfilling.
Leona's talent in swordsmanship was truly astonishing.
Her swordsmanship still needed time to improve, but her talent was really good, especially when it came to imitating the swordsmanship style of other Sword Saints.
Especially when I was imitating Cavendish, the similarity was so high that I almost couldn't hold back a few times …
Soon, it was time for us to make a choice in our journey.
"In the west, the Bardi Empire and the Mage Country are looking for a fortune teller's help. However, it's likely that they'll get dragged into trouble. After all, the Bardi Empire is still at war with the undead. But with your ability and friendship, it won't be difficult. "
"Southwest, San Antonio. If I'm not wrong, the Sun God's mirror is over there. However, he could still get into trouble, and it would be extremely big trouble. The Demon Army there is a regular army, and their reputation may not be as big as their fists. If they are dragged into the Demon Army's battlefield, no matter how strong they are, they will still have to kneel. "
Harloys kindly explained the situation to me, but she also revealed her own intentions. She wanted me to go to the Mage Country.
It wasn't because of selfishness … No matter how he thought about it, it was probably because he wanted to save face.
"That's right. So what if it's face? I've been tutoring you every night, but you still can't advance? You are the stupidest student I have ever taught! "
Alright, even the words that hurt a student's confidence were shouted out, but I didn't feel like she was joking at all. She was being serious! She really thinks I'm the stupidest among her students!
"… If you're so capable, come compete with me in undead magic and soul magic. I'll give you a one-level handicap."
"Alright, if you're confident, then you can use necromancy magic to advance."
The silly cat's words always caused me to choke on my words. I wanted to improve my power level in undead magic, but that incredibly dangerous magic sword not only had high requirements for materials, but it was also far too dangerous. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control it without enough power, which was why I kept putting it at the very end of my progress list.
Moreover, the type of energy used to advance first also had to be paid attention to.
Epic-ranked Divine Weapons were ultimately a part of the physical body. The power would return to the physical body, so it would naturally affect the physical body to a certain extent.
Holy Light's SemiGod rank individuals were either radiant, friendly, or dignified. Undead mages, on the other hand, had a sinister air about them. Either way, they didn't seem like good people.
In a way, this could be considered a passive effect. I had yet to see any Undead Emperor with a righteous expression.
The physical impression would also affect one's mind and soul, causing a certain change in one's personality and temperament.
Adam felt hot just by looking at her. Marguerite was always mysterious. The influence on her temperament was mysterious, but in fact, it was just that.
I didn't care about my image, but that death magic sword's design concept was far too extreme, so the feedback would definitely be quite strong. If I accidentally turned myself into a lich, it would be quite embarrassing.
I am a living human, an Order Faction human. If I don't intend to change my appearance, the best choice would be the power of Law or the power of Holy Light.
The power of ice was a backup. It would probably have a certain "freezing" effect of facial paralysis and coldness, which was acceptable.
I personally felt that the power of Holy Light would be the most suitable for a Holy Knight. That was because a Holy Knight would appear golden and righteous, which would make it easier for him to find a wife … ahem, I meant that it would be easier for him to communicate with the leaders of various countries.
"You want to improve your luck with women? I think that if you choose the path of Holy Light, you'll definitely receive more and more "nice" people. Don't you know how pitiful it is for Holy Knights these days? Sunny guys are no longer popular. Cool guys are the trend now. Your face is quite suitable for a cool guy … Fine, I admit that I was just spouting nonsense. "
Harloys was still trying to convince me to go to Bardi. However, the more she spoke, the less confident she was. Her expression became more and more pitiful, as if she was looking at a comedic actor who was trying to go down the path of tragedy.
Her expression seemed to be saying, "You're hopeless. You're a natural-born comedic actor."
"Bastard, you actually said it out loud. I'm quite charming when I don't say anything. A mature woman once commented that I'm quite attractive!"
[You still remember what your kindergarten teacher said to you, and you even became so beautiful because of your memories … That's so pitiful. If I had eyes, I would definitely cry.]
I now deeply understood how despairing it was to have a cat who could read minds and was skilled at hitting people when they fell into a trap, as well as an "auntie" who remembered all of one's dark history.
Cough, getting back to the main topic, the silly cat wasn't so fussing about which power system I should level up in wasn't purely because of such senseless things. After all, she would still need to achieve a balance in the end.
I understood why she was fussing about it, because she didn't even try to hide it.
She still wanted me to level up through her ice magic rather than the path of Holy Light that Estrada had taught me.
If I went to the Mage Country, I would be able to level up as much as I could. Plus, with the tremendous amount of books in the Cloud Tower and the ice magic grandmaster, it would be quite likely that I would be able to level up.
If I went to the Sun God's magic mirror, I would probably be able to level up if I found it. Naturally, my sword of Holy Light would level up.
It was precisely because of this awkwardness that Harloys still wanted me to go to the Mage Country first.
But in the end, I still decided to go to the "mirror" and level up my Dawn sword first … And then, the silly cat hung on my head for an entire week. I felt like I was starting to become anemic.
This wasn't because I had chosen Estrada's path in the end. It was simply a simple prediction of the situation.
Indeed, going to the Bardi Empire seemed quite safe. Bardi's boss was an old acquaintance of mine, and we were even "relatives" now. The Mage Country was our "home", and the Undead Emperors also had my ally, Sandro.
But sometimes, I couldn't just look at the good side and not the bad side. Bardi's path seemed quite safe, but if I was unlucky, it would probably be the worst.
"… Harloys, be reasonable. Are you certain that we won't run into an Undead Emperor who just so happens to be 'interested' in me? What do you think our chances of victory are if we fight an Undead Emperor in our current condition? "
The silly cat was rendered speechless because it was so logical and so possible.
Using ice magic against the undead who had no body heat was probably the worst possible choice. First completing my sword of Holy Light before going to a region where I might run into an Undead Boss would be the wisest choice.
"Can't you think of something better?"
"I'm used to it. Actually, I could be even more unlucky. For example, a Main God level demon boss would appear to kill me the moment I prophesied about Cavendish …"
[Jinx! Shut up! Aren't you already unlucky enough?]
Harloys' words were so logical that I was actually rendered speechless.
And so, I promised myself that "as long as the conditions allow it, I would use ice magic to level up." In the end, I still decided to go find the magic mirror first.
After all, rather than having a sudden inspiration that I could predict at any time, an actual "treasure hunt" seemed far more reliable.
But at this time, I met with a small problem.
