Chapter 235

Dusk soon arrived.

It was not until the sun was about to set that Shien came out of the palace, rubbing his eyes as he prepared to return to the Lazahad house.

"Today is another day of stuffing my head to the brim …"

Shien sighed as he walked on the road to the noble district.

"What's left are 224 beginner-level spells, 78 intermediate-level spells, 25 advanced-level spells, and Pay Magic. That's not something that can be calculated with 'spells'. There's also a total of 34 thick spell books …"

"I have to memorize all of these."

"Sigh, when will these days come to an end?"

Sean felt that he, a studious student, could not keep up the pretense any longer.

"Back then, I wanted to learn all the magic spells, but that was just wishful thinking."

If he really wanted to memorize all the magic spells in the world, Shien felt that he might have to spend the rest of his life doing so.

"Is this what they mean by 'live and learn'?"

Shien shuddered at the thought of such a way of living.

So, Shien had made up his mind.

"In the future, Celestial Magic and Celestial Magic will be my major, and I will never learn magic of other systems."

For this reason, Shien even forgot the four elemental magic skills that he had learned before.

Skill Forgetting.

This was a method that all beings that had learned skills could use.

When someone was dissatisfied with a skill they had learned, or was severely lacking in Skill Points, they could recoup the Skill Points they had spent on these skills by forgetting the skills they had learned.

Of course, this was not something that could be used casually.

Once one chose to forget the skills, it would lead to two side effects.

One: Skills that had been forgotten could not be obtained again no matter what.

Two: Only about half of the points that had been consumed in these skills could be recovered, or even less than one-tenth.

Therefore, if it was not for the lack of skill points or the fact that they had learned the wrong skills, people usually would not choose this method.

Shien did not want to do this at first, but he found that because of Providence, he did not seem to be affected by these side effects.

"After all, [Providence] has the lowest conditions to obtain all skills, and the conditions to upgrade all skills have also been lowered to the lowest."

The conditions for obtaining all the skills were the lowest. It was impossible for others to obtain the skills that had been forgotten, but it was not the case for Sean.

All skills had the lowest conditions to upgrade, which meant that Shien only consumed one skill point at a time.

As for the amount of points recovered when forgetting a skill, it wasn't calculated all at once. Instead, it was calculated level by level.

For example, to upgrade a skill from level 1 to level 2, if others used up 10 Skill Points, then the Skill Points he would get back would be half or one-tenth of that amount. If upgrading a skill from level 2 to level 3 used up 20 Skill Points, then the Skill Points he would get back would be half or one-tenth of that amount. It wasn't like adding up all the Skill Points used up from level 1 to level 3 and then getting back half or one-tenth of that amount.

This led to Shien being able to completely recover all the skill points consumed.

This was because every time he upgraded a skill, he only consumed one skill point.

There was no concept of skill points being lower or lower.

Therefore, when everyone forgot a skill, they could at least recover one skill point per level.

For Shien, who only consumed one skill point per level, this was completely proportional to the consumption and recovery. There was no loss at all.

Knowing this, Shien decisively forgot the four elemental magic skills.

Although Shien had a lot of skill points and did not have to worry about a lack of them, these four elemental magic skills were useless. If they were left there, Shien would have to passively remember the four elemental magic spells. This made Shien resolutely forget the magic skills.

It was very easy to cast the effects of these four elemental spells if he mainly used Pay Magic.

Since this was the case, Shien felt that there was no need for him to keep remembering these four types of magic that he had only learned at the beginner level.

However …

"Back in the day, I even used these spells to trick people."

Now, they were forced to die of old age.

"Am I too much of a scumbag?"

Shien shook his heavy head. At the same time, as if he had nothing to do, he continued to walk forward.

At this moment …

"Mr. Shien."

A voice stopped Shien.

"Hmm?"

Shien felt that this voice was very familiar, causing him to stop in his tracks. He shook his heavy head slightly, pulled himself together, and immediately turned his head to look at the source of the voice.

With this look, Shien was stunned.

What appeared in front of him was a figure that was unlikely to appear here.

"La Xia?"

Shien said in surprise.

The person who came was Lésia's personal maid — La Xia.

He saw that she was still wearing a maid's uniform, with waist-length black hair, and a pair of ruby-like eyes. She stood in front of the street, as if waiting for Shien to come, facing the wind.

That scene, for a moment, made Shien lose his mind.

But then, Shien reacted.

"Why are you here?"

Shien unconsciously stepped forward, still unable to hide his surprise and asked.

In response, La Xia raised her eyes and looked at him.

"I've always been here."

That was what La Xia said.

"Always?"

Shien was stunned again.

"Yes." La Xia's expression was calm as she said, "After you left Lamegion, First Mistress and I followed you to the capital, but we didn't show ourselves, so you didn't notice."

Hearing this, Shien was speechless.

So, this pair of sisters, who looked like twins, had been by his side all this time?

"You followed me?"

Shien frowned, staring at La Xia with an unfriendly gaze.

Under Shien's gaze, La Xia did not deny it. She only raised her eyes slightly and said.

"First Mistress has been missing since last night."

This was what La Xia said.

"You mean, Lésia has gone missing?"

The unexpected news caused Sean to be unable to help but be stunned.

La Xia nodded.

"First Mistress had instructed me to look for you if anything happened to her," La Xia's voice was emotionless, "That's why I came here to wait for your return."

These words made Shien's frown deepen.

So that's what she meant?

Not only did Lésia go missing, but she also knew that he was in a dangerous place. Because of this, she had prepared a backup plan and instructed La Xia to be careful.

"What happened?"

Shien muttered to himself.

La Xia was not in a hurry. She just stood there quietly, waiting for Shien's reaction.

Shien looked at the beautiful maid and sighed.

"In any case, come back with me first."

That was Shien's decision.

"Yes."

La Xia replied expressionlessly.
