On one side, there was a beautiful and elegant girl, and on the other side, there was a mysterious butterfly effect. Baiyi, who was stuck in the middle, felt very awkward.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to pretend to be in a difficult position. He mumbled, "I'm not really a sorcerer. I'm just an apprentice who knows a couple of tricks."
During the Ancient Rohlserlian era, the standards for sorcerers were extremely high. One needed to master at least two fifth-level spells and ten fourth-level spells to become a sorcerer. Other than that, one could only be regarded as a sorcerer's apprentice or apprentice sorcerer. They did not have such high status and social privileges.
In the modern era, this standard was basically the entry standard for a Master-level sorcerer. In other words, all Rohlserlian sorcerers were at the Master-level. Considering the complexity of magic formations, there were very few sorcerers who could become sorcerers. These people were definitely the most elite group of people in the entire country.
When Lulu heard that Baiyi was not a real sorcerer, she looked a little disappointed. However, she quickly regained her composure and muttered, "You're right. If you were a real sorcerer, you wouldn't stay in a house like this …"
What do you mean by that? Not only am I a real sorcerer, but I'm also a very powerful Rohlserlian sorcerer. If you really want to compare, I'm not even as powerful as your current emperor, even though I'm his student … Baiyi thought to himself.
He did not know if Lulu was really kind or if there was something wrong with her brain. Even though Baiyi had said that, she still gave him a warm and comforting smile. She encouraged him, "But don't worry. I believe that if you keep working hard, one day, you will become a real sorcerer who will be respected by all!"
"Erm... My body was burned in an accident, so I can no longer practice magic," Baiyi lied again.
"Is that so?" A sorrowful look appeared on the girl's face, making her look even sadder than Baiyi. She even took the initiative to hold his gauntlet and gently comforted him, "It's okay. The scars will heal one day …"
Baiyi was speechless.
After that, Lulu continued to tell him a lot of inspirational stories, and after she fed him a lot of chicken soup, she left in satisfaction. Baiyi, on the other hand, looked at the sleeping Mia and fell into deep thought.
The next day, the lad named Nick seemed to have returned to normal. With a hearty smile, he bade farewell to his neighbors and expressed that he would be returning to his hometown for a while. The small house in the town would be temporarily left for his acolyte friend to stay in. He also emphasized that this acolyte friend was antisocial and bad-tempered, so it was best not to get close to him.
Of course, this was the result of Baiyi's Hypnosis. Last night, after he had come into contact with Mind Control, Baiyi had used Hypnosis to give the poor young man a series of instructions, such as telling him to return to his hometown to get married while Baiyi took over his house in town.
He planned to stay in his room and not come into contact with anyone.
But what about Mia?
Early the next morning, Mia woke up. At first, she listened to Baiyi's description of the current situation with a dumbfounded look on her face. Then, she rolled around on the bed with a worried look on her face. Finally, when she heard Baiyi say that it would be best for her not to go out, her beautiful little face was on the verge of tears.
She was not the kind of girl who liked to stay at home. As a sorcerer who had received the Ancient Rohlserlian Legacy, when she heard that this was the legendary Rohlserlian Empire, she wanted to go out and see the world. She wanted to experience the local customs and culture. She even wanted to go on a pilgrimage.
"Oh, I want to go out and play! And I want to meet the young Royal Grandpa too," Mia said coquettishly.
"The butterfly effect is a scary thing. You never know what kind of chain reaction your careless actions will cause. Didn't I tell you about it before?" Baiyi reached out and ruffled Mia's hair as he patiently explained.
"But … That storm was caused by the butterfly. Who knows if it was caused by the butterfly? What if our actions didn't affect anything at all? "Mia retorted.
"Well …" Just as Baiyi was trying to figure out how to explain the situation to her, someone knocked on the door.
"Mr. Apprentice, I'm coming in!" Lulu's energetic voice rang out as her light footsteps entered the room. The first person she saw was Mia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs in boredom.
"Wow … What a beautiful girl …" Lulu exclaimed.
When Mia saw Lulu's face, she could not help but exclaim in a low voice, "What a beautiful girl …" After saying that, she turned to Baiyi and shot him a reproachful look, as if to say, 'I've only been unconscious for half a day and you've already abducted another beautiful girl?'
Baiyi quickly turned to Mia and told her to act according to my mood. He ruffled her hair and introduced her. "This is my daughter, Mia."
The relationship between the two was a little strange. Baiyi could not have introduced them as Soul Armature and Soul Armature Practitioner, and he could not have introduced them as Soul Armature and Soul Armature Practitioner.
However, for some reason, there was a hint of excitement in Baiyi's voice. Perhaps it was because he could now say such things openly?
Although Mia could not read the expression on his face, she knew that it was just a temporary measure, so she obediently replied, "Daddy …"
"Hi, I'm Lulu. I live next door," Lulu introduced herself enthusiastically. Lulu introduced herself enthusiastically as she walked up to Mia's side. She lowered her head to look at the little girl.
Mia, on the other hand, looked at Lulu curiously. The two beautiful girls looked at each other in a friendly and harmonious way.
Baiyi, on the other hand, looked as if he had suffered some kind of shock. He sat there dumbly, not saying a word. He looked like a good-for-nothing.
It did not take long for Lulu to notice Mia's attire. Mia's miniskirt paired with white silk stockings was a style that the Ancient Rohlserlians found unacceptable. "Mia, your attire …" Lulu looked at Mia in confusion.
"Oh … This was given to me by someone from a foreign tribe village I passed by. I thought it looked pretty good, so I tried it on …" Mia stood up, turned around, and asked, "What do you think?"
"Hmm … It's quite pretty …" Lulu nodded her head in approval. She did not doubt the authenticity of Mia's words at all. Perhaps it was because of Baiyi's identity as a sorcerer's apprentice, or perhaps it was because of Mia's fluent Ancient Rohlserlian.
Baiyi had taught Mia the Ancient Rohlserlian language in order to better impart Ancient Rohlserlian magic to her. He had learned it with Tisdale, and now, it had come in handy.
More importantly, Mia was beautiful and adorable, so the first impression she left on people was always the best. This made people subconsciously think in a positive direction and believe her words. Perhaps, the more beautiful a woman was, the better she was at deceiving people.
Thus, the two girls began to chat. Mia had always been a friendly person, and with the addition of Lulu, who was super friendly, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other. Lulu took the opportunity to invite Mia to the celebration outside.
"This is a celebration that we've prepared to welcome the triumphant return of the Empire's army. It'll be fun, and there'll be lots of delicious candies and snacks," Lulu said enthusiastically. "If you're lucky, you might even get to see His Majesty …"
Due to the unique customs of the Rohlserlian nation, the people were very respectful to the armies that went out to war. Usually, when the armies left for war, they would send them off, and when they returned, they would welcome them with open arms. Even if the people did not know the route of the army's march, they would still hold such a welcoming ceremony in anticipation of the army's arrival.
In the end, it was often an empty joy that could not wait for anything. For example, the celebration outside had already gone on for two days, and there was no sign of the army, but they were still enjoying it. Perhaps, they were just using it as an excuse to party for themselves?
Strangely enough, the town had not seen any terrible disasters, even though the outside world was as lively as a festival. Baiyi could not help but wonder if his physique had suddenly lost its effect due to the space-time travel. Or was there some kind of disaster brewing? Should he run away as soon as he could? Or should he kill his future consort?
The Archmage's memory told him that she had died, but he was certain that she had not died here, and the cause of her death could not have been some random disaster.
While Baiyi was hesitating, Mia had already changed her clothes in the room next door. She had changed from a short skirt and white stockings to a long robe that resembled Lulu's. Now, she looked just like any other Rohlserlian citizen.
She had been wanting to go out and play for a long time, and now, she had found an excuse.
'Why does this girl have clothes from this era?' Baiyi wondered. He did not know that the Ancient Rohlserlian style of clothing had not been completely abandoned. Instead, it was similar to the Hanfu and Qipao back on Earth. It had been passed down as a classic style, with some modifications. Mia was a girl who loved to show off her beauty, so naturally, she had many such clothes in her collection.
If she had dressed according to Baiyi's aesthetic standards, she would not have been able to afford such a long robe.
When Lulu saw that Mia had changed into the same clothes as her, she no longer doubted Mia's identity. She wanted to drag Mia out to play, but out of politeness, Mia greeted Baiyi and asked in a soft voice, "Daddy, can I go out and play with Big Sis Lulu?"
