The warm afternoon sun shone into the room through the window, gilding the two figures with a layer of gold.
"Brother Elvin, I don't know this word either!"
"Call me teacher, Angel!" Elvin patted his head. He had corrected this habit many times, but he still could not get rid of it.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a study room specially arranged in the Kauper Manor. As Ilante was a tutor hired when he was young, all the facilities were readily available. Elvin and Angel moved in without any effort.
It was now the second day after the conversation in Mogg Farm.
In the end, the girl accepted Elvin's kindness and chose to wave goodbye to her miserable past, following Elvin to welcome a new life.
Although she looked thin and small, Angel was actually only a year younger than Ilante, and was already a twelve-year-old girl.
After bringing her back to the Kauper Manor, she freshened up and changed into new clothes that the servants had just bought. Although her thin body and yellow cheeks could not be changed in a short period of time, she already had the youthful aura of a young girl, and was obviously more pleasing to the eye than before.
In a new environment, Angel, who had changed into new clothes, became more fond of smiling. Perhaps it was because Elvin was the only 'acquaintance' in this beautiful manor, she liked to follow his every step and be a little clingy.
Elvin was naturally happy with Angel's change. It was always easy to be in a good mood after doing a good deed and receiving a good result.
However, Elvin soon discovered that he was facing a very important problem.
Angel's aptitude as a Magus aside, the basic knowledge of grammar was a threshold that could not be avoided. In addition to the common language that was commonly used in the six countries of the Tulip Alliance, the learning of the transcendent language 'Spirit Language' had to be put on the agenda immediately.
This was bound to take a lot of time. Even if it was just the most basic reading and writing, it would take years for an ordinary person to learn.
Therefore, after a simple attempt at personal teaching, Elvin decided to find a tutor for Angel. It wasn't that Elvin didn't have the patience for this kind of basic teaching, but that he really didn't have that much time.
If he were to rely on his own teaching during the holidays, he might have to lengthen a course that was originally a few years long by several times. Moreover, his short training time was only half a year. If that was the case, the efficiency would be too low.
"Alright, I have a rough understanding of your grammar level now. Let's get to the point. Come with me! "
After putting away the test paper for Angel, Elvin could not wait to have a direct understanding of her aptitude in witchcraft.
The results of the test would determine whether she could only be his assistant in the future, or whether she could contribute to his ambitions and become his companion on the path of Transcendence …
Elvin led the girl all the way to an empty garden. The seagull scouts were monitoring the place at all times, so Elvin was not afraid that someone might accidentally break in.
Even though he had obtained a semi-official status as a legal Adept, the image of an Adept in the eyes of ordinary people was still hard to change.
If he could avoid being discovered, Elvin was still willing to hide himself as much as possible.
"Angel, have you heard of Adepts?"
The two of them sat on a stone bench in the garden as Elvin stared at the girl and asked.
"Brother Elvin … Teacher, I have heard of them. When my mother was still alive, she read to me the pamphlets that the Church gave to the farm. They are mysterious, powerful, and evil. Will disobedient children be taken away by Adepts?"
"Uhh …" Elvin knew that for a child like Angel who grew up in a farm, asking such a question was a little out of line.
Even though he had some doubts about the identity of Angel's mother, she had already passed away. Any secrets were buried in the ground and could no longer be explored.
After coughing twice, Elvin felt that it was necessary for him to give his first student a proper introduction.
"Ahem …
Even though there are some Transcendental Professions that are bound to evil from the beginning, such as the 'Shipwrecked Mourners' and 'Scarlet Archers' that I have encountered before, they are not Adepts.
They are knowledgeable and obsessed with the truth of the world. Whether they are evil or not is only related to the individual. Compared to Adepts, I prefer to call them scientists or scholars. "
Hearing this, Angel's face turned red. She knew that she might have said something wrong. She quickly changed the topic.
"Erm, Teacher, are you a Adepts too?"
Elvin did not answer directly. Instead, he gave an order to the Owl, Beth, who was hiding not far away.
Whoosh —
Whoosh —
Two small Swift with a Needle Tail flew down from the sky. They flapped their wings and landed on Elvin's outstretched palm. They rubbed their small heads against his palm intimately as if they were pets that were eager to be caressed.
"Wow, so cute!"
The two Swift with a Needle Tail flew up and landed on Angel's shoulder. They pecked her earlobes lightly. This was not Elvin's intention. It was the girl's natural temperament that made animals feel close to her.
Chirp chirp chirp …
"What did you say? Today's lunch is cream of mushroom soup and fried sausages? There's a very fierce big black dog in the manor? "
"Ah —" Suddenly realizing something, Angel covered her mouth in shock. Was this bird talking to her just now?
Elvin smiled and did not explain.
He poured a glass full of water and placed it between the two of them. He then took out a bottle of transparent potion from his bag and dripped a few drops into the glass.
"Don't be surprised. You also have this unique talent. Come on, hold the glass with both hands and focus. Let's see what happens next. "
Angel looked at Elvin nervously. Under his encouraging gaze, she carefully held the glass and focused her mind according to Elvin's instructions.
Although it was similar to the strange witchcraft that the church promoted, Angel did not have any conflicting emotions. Because … this was Brother Elvin's request!
Almost a second after Angel closed her eyes to focus.
Boom —
A large cloud of holy white mist rose from the mouth of the glass and quickly spread.
Surrounded by the light mist, Elvin's extraordinary physique could feel a warm energy slowly permeating his body. He was slightly surprised. He was sure that even if he had a small wound on his body, it would heal quickly in the white mist.
Da da da … Da da da …
The sound of some hoofed animal running could be heard in the white mist. It was as if there was a dreamy elk shadow flashing by.
Angel heard the movement and opened her eyes curiously. She was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her.
"Wah —"
The ritual was instantly interrupted. All the strange phenomena disappeared with the wind. Only a transparent mist was left, leaving the two of them with a slight chill.
Looking at the glass in Angel's hand, there was no more water left.
