It was a beautiful girl. Not only that, but she was also a beautiful girl of high standards. She was not inferior to any of the girls around Baiyi.
Her facial features were delicate and soft, and she had long, black hair just like Mia's. She was dressed in a white silk robe that revealed her shoulders and a pair of lotus-like arms. Her long skirt covered her enchanting legs, but because the robe was very thin, it faintly revealed the curves of her body, giving her an elegant, hazy beauty.
What caught Baiyi's attention was the temperament that she exuded. It was very similar to Mia. Both of them were gentle and sweet, making people want to hug and lick them. Other than the color of their hair, there was a big difference between the two of them but Baiyi felt that the girl was very similar to Mia.
However, that was not the reason why he stopped his spell. It was because the girl gave Baiyi a very familiar feeling. It was not because of the similarity in temperament between her and Mia but it was because of the vague memory that he had seen her before.
"May I know who you are?" The girl looked at Baiyi who was dressed in a strange manner. There was a hint of fear and curiosity on her face as she took a few steps back. Although it was just a small movement, it made Baiyi feel an urge to pull her into his arms and protect her.
"He's a friend of mine. Because he suffered a very serious injury, there are a lot of scars on his body. In order not to scare people, he always wears armor," the young man explained in a strange voice. The young man explained in a strange voice. It was obvious that Baiyi had used psychic control to force him to speak.
"Huh? Brother Nick, why does your voice sound a little weird? "The girl looked at the young man suspiciously.
"Ahem, ahem. I didn't sleep well last night. My throat is a little dry," the young man who was being controlled clumsily explained.
Fortunately, this beautiful girl was not very knowledgeable. She did not know that mind control was a vicious evil art, so she was easily fooled.
The girl no longer doubted him. Instead, she turned to Baiyi with a friendly and warm smile and introduced herself, "Hello, my dear customer. My name is Lulu."
Although it was a common name that sounded more like a prostitute who had lost her footing, Baiyi's body trembled slightly because when he heard the name, he finally remembered why he felt so familiar with the girl.
To be precise, she should be his mistress, right?
When the First Walker shared his memories with him, the First Walker had shared a lot of memories with him, but he had also blocked out a lot of them, especially when it came to women. According to the history books and the Archmage's own bragging, he had many queens and concubines, but the Archmage's shared memories only had a blurry outline of these women. There was no story behind them, and they only existed in the background.
The only exception was a concubine named Lulu. Not only did Baiyi see her face clearly, but he also learned about the love story between her and the Archmage. However, the Archmage's memory of the love story was very fragmented, and he only knew a few things about it. The Archmage's memories of Lulu were very fragmented. After that, this woman completely disappeared from his memory and never appeared again.
Baiyi did not know what had happened in between, and the Archmage did not share any of it with him. From then on, the Archmage's memories of the women in the Archmage's mind became the background of his memory, and he no longer had a clear image of them.
It was clear that this woman was very special to the Archmage. Whether she was his lover or not, she must have had a special place in the Archmage's heart. No wonder the Archmage had fallen in love with her when he first met her. Perhaps it was because of the similarities between the two girls.
It was also because of this uniqueness that Lulu had left a deep impression on Baiyi, and he felt a sense of familiarity with her.
After confirming that the beautiful girl in front of him was related to the Archmage in the future, Baiyi's first thought was to stay away from her. On one hand, it was out of respect for his teacher, and on the other hand, it was out of fear of the butterfly effect. This was also why he had given up on using Mind Control on her. Mind Control would affect a person's IQ and mental state to a certain extent, and this could very well trigger the butterfly effect.
Lulu, however, did not seem to be easy to deal with. Instead, she looked at him from head to toe with interest. She even took the initiative to hand over the basket in her arms and said enthusiastically, "Hey, customer, why don't you try my pancakes? The neighbors on this street are full of praise for my craftsmanship. "
'Ugh … She's so easygoing? This is so troublesome … 'Baiyi thought to himself. He took out a pancake from the basket, opened his visor slightly, and threw the pancake directly into his helmet. He said in a low voice, "It's delicious. Thank you for your kindness."
Lulu did not respond to his gratitude. Instead, her attention was focused on Mia, who was lying behind Baiyi. She asked curiously, "Eh?! What a beautiful girl! What's wrong with her? "
"She's tired from the journey. She needs rest," Baiyi replied coldly.
"Is that so … I won't disturb you then …" Lulu was finally ready to leave, but just as Baiyi was about to let out a sigh of relief, she suddenly turned around and clapped her hands. As if she had suddenly remembered something, she said, "Oh, right! I have homemade incense at home. It can help you sleep better. I'll bring it to you now. "
After saying that, she skipped out of the door like a bird that had just been released from its cage. Did she really go to fetch the incense for Baiyi?
"Oh my god …" Baiyi felt a headache coming on. She's such a beautiful girl, but why is she so difficult to deal with? She's a little too passionate, isn't she? Why did my teacher fall in love with a girl like her?!
After a while, Lulu returned as promised. In her hand was a black jar filled with dried herbs. It was the incense from the Ancient Rohlserlian era, and it was very different from the incense used in the modern era.
Baiyi was afraid that the young man, who looked like a puppet, would arouse suspicion, so he sent him to the backyard. Now, only he, Lulu, and Mia were left in the room.
"Huh? Where's Big Brother Nick? " Lulu asked curiously. She waved a small pouch in her hand. "I brought some medicine for his throat."
"He went to the backyard to chop some firewood," Baiyi replied casually.
"Oh, I see. Please pass the medicine to him later. And this …" Lulu raised the jar in her hand and said proudly, "Just light it up, and you'll have a good dream."
Looking at the adorable expression on the girl's face, Baiyi could not bring himself to reject her. Instead, he allowed her to place the incense pot on Mia's bedside and started to search his own body.
"Oh, I forgot to bring flint. Please wait for a moment. I'll go get it now," Lulu said, sticking her tongue out in embarrassment.
"There's no need for that," Baiyi replied instinctively as he threw a small flame into the can and lit it up.
He had seen this special incense used in the Archmage's memory before, so he had a certain understanding of how to control the fire. Soon, an intoxicating fragrance wafted out of the jar.
However, Baiyi's subconscious action caused Lulu's eyes to widen in shock. Her gem-like eyes were filled with admiration as she exclaimed, "You … You're a sorcerer, my lord?"
Only then did Baiyi realize that he had made a mistake again.
Because the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire was relatively old, its level of social development was still relatively low. It was still in the early stages of a feudal system. The social classes were roughly divided into four categories.
The highest class of power was the sorcerer. Because the empire was founded with magic, sorcerers had a very high status in the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire. Basically, they belonged to the ruling class. They were much nobler than the nobles in the later generations. They were widely loved and worshipped. At the same time, because Ancient Rohlserlian magic was extremely difficult to master, sorcerers were relatively rare.
Next were the nobles who had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield. This was probably the early stage of the aristocratic system. It could also be understood as the early nobles. However, there was no such thing as a fief or hereditary title. Basically, they did not have any special privileges. Instead, they were more like honorary citizens.
Next were the commoners. There was nothing much to say about them. Their biggest wish was to become a sorcerer. They also had a kind of almost blind worship towards sorcerers.
At the bottom of the hierarchy were all kinds of foreigners and foreign races. Some of them were slaves who were captured after being defeated in war, while others were refugees who came to the empire to beg for food. These people were collectively known as the "untouchables".
Be it the commoners or the princes of the foreign races, all of them were untouchables. From this, one could see how proud and superior the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire was. These two points had been deeply engraved into their bones.
According to historical records, there was once a chieftain of a foreign race who came to the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire to seek peace. He passed by a farm and asked for some water. However, the farmer, who was just a commoner, not only did not give him any water, but he even sneered at the untouchables for dirtying his farm.
The chieftain's guards could not take it anymore. In a fit of rage, they brandished their swords and killed the farmer's entire family.
Three days later, the chieftain, who had a chance to live on, was completely wiped out by a forbidden spell.
The Ancient Rohlserlian Empire's flourishing national power and formidable military power were the strongest guarantee to protect this morbid pride and superiority. Sorcerers were the bearers of this power.
When Lulu discovered Baiyi's identity as a sorcerer, her eyes lit up like stars in a little girl's eyes. As a commoner, she rarely had the chance to meet a sorcerer.
