"Is this little girl the descendant of Sir Archmage?" The Void was filled with exclamations of surprise. The Ancient Rohlserlian Empire had disappeared for too long. To the Voidwalkers who had lived for thousands of years, it was a sealed piece of history. It was already very rare for them to meet the Emperor in the Void. Who would have thought that they would actually meet a descendant of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire?
"Ask for her surname." The Archmage took some time to calm himself down before instructing Baiyi in a low voice.
Baiyi obeyed his teacher's instruction but first, he called out, "Mia!"
"Eh?" The little girl turned her head around.
"Look here! Look here!" As Baiyi murmured, her fingers started to draw all kinds of strange circles in the air. Mia stared at her fingers for a while before her eyes started to glaze over. Then, she closed her eyes and her body went limp. Just like that, she fell asleep standing there.
It was a hypnosis spell that was usually used by priests to treat insomnia. It was a trick that required the target to be defenseless in order to be effective.
Baiyi quickly used his Mana to catch her soft body and quickly weaved a magical hammock in the air. He placed the sleeping Mia on it and took off the navy blue cloak from his back to cover her body so that she would not catch a cold.
"Mr. Hope, what are you doing?" Tisdale asked curiously as she stared at the man who was behaving strangely.
"Tisdale, what's your surname?" Baiyi asked in a serious tone.
When Tisdale heard the question, she did not answer. Instead, her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Some of it was because of excitement, some of it was because of the shock, and some of it was because of the panic and the beautiful memories. The girl's mood was extremely complicated.
It was because Baiyi was not talking to her in the standard common language. Instead, he was talking in the most standard Ancient Rohlserlian language! It was the same language that Tisdale had used to recite her vow. It was a language that had long been declared to be lost by the academic community.
The reason why Tisdale dared to recite her vow was because she believed that after the death of her father who taught her the Ancient Rohlserlian language, she would be the only one left in the world who knew the language. That was why she lost her composure when Baiyi spoke the most standard Ancient Rohlserlian language.
"Mr. Hope, who are you? Could it be... "Tisdale asked in a trembling voice in the same Ancient Rohlserlian language. She really wanted to ask if Baiyi was one of the ancestors of her family. However, when she thought about the fact that apart from her father, all the other ancestors in her family had either disappeared or had become Soul Armatures …
She did not expect Baiyi to be the heir of the Rohlserlian Emperor. Instead, she thought that he was her father.
"Answer my question first, Tisdale," Baiyi said as he gently patted her head, trying to comfort her.
Suddenly, Tisdale threw herself at Baiyi and hugged him tightly. Pressing her face against his cold chest, tears gushed out of her eyes like a broken dam. Choking with sobs, she cried out, "Father!!!!!!!!!! Daddy! "
Huh? This time, it was Baiyi's turn to be stunned. What the hell is going on? Why am I suddenly a father? Lowering his head, he looked at Tisdale who was rubbing her face against his chest like a spoiled kitten. This beautiful girl who was usually full of vitality was even cuter than Mia when she was acting coquettishly. Faced with such a contrast, of course, he would choose to forgive her!
Wait a minute! Forgive my ass! Baiyi quickly cast a Strong Tranquilizer Spell on Tisdale and gently pushed her away. Grabbing her shoulders, he shook her vigorously and said in a low voice, "Calm down, Tisdale. You've got the wrong person."
The Strong Tranquilizer Spell was usually used by priests on the battlefield for soldiers. When it was cast on Tisdale, the effect was very obvious. Sure enough, she stopped crying immediately and jumped a few steps back with her face flushed red. Lowering her head, she did not dare to look at Baiyi, like a kitten who had done something wrong.
"Have you calmed down?" Baiyi dragged a cup of hot tea in front of her. The girl picked it up and gulped it down in one gulp. After that, she said shyly in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hope. M-My surname is Aegis."
She chose to answer the question to resolve the awkwardness in front of her.
"You're actually the descendant of that boy?" Upon hearing the answer, the Archmage laughed bitterly in the Void, "That boy actually kept his vow for 6000 years?"
Facing the curious gazes of the other Voidwalkers, he continued, "Her ancestor was an orphan whom I had saved by chance on the battlefield. His entire family had been massacred by the enemy, and I was only able to save him in time …"
"After I sent him to the orphanage, it was already 20 years later when we met again. At that time, he had already become a strong and reliable warrior and became one of my guards. When we met again, he even boldly took the initiative to walk out of the formation and knelt on the ground to pledge his loyalty to me, promising to protect me forever. If he died in the battle, he would let his descendants carry out this mission …"
"What a silly boy … At that time, I couldn't remember who he was at all. I heard similar words countless of times every day. I thought that he was just a bootlicker so I asked the captain of the guard to teach him a lesson. After that, I didn't ask any more questions."
"After that, another ten years passed. Step by step, with his solid military achievements, he became my new captain of the guard. At that time, I found out about his origin. Touched by his loyalty, I gave him the surname Aegis. In the Rohlserlian language, it means' Guardian Shield '."
"After that, I had a vague feeling that my power had violated some rules. So, I summoned a few of my confidants to my side. Among them was him, my most trusted commander, the court magus, and so on. I told them that I might go somewhere, but I would return soon. I told them to protect my empire and wait for my return."
"At that time, they also made that promise, swearing that they would wait for my return … At that time, I had already entered the new realm that was later named the Demigod Level for some time. My confidence and conceit made me think that even God could not stop me, but in the end, I crashed into the barrier of the plane and shattered it … When my student returned to the real plane, I no longer thought that anyone would remember that vow. 6000 years was too long, so long that everything in front of it was insignificant and laughable."
"Until today, I finally know that I was wrong …" At this point, the Archmage's voice became heavy. "This family is a bunch of idiots! A bunch of idiots! A bunch of idiots through and through! Just like their stupid ancestors! This is the dumbest family in the world! "
It was the first time in thousands of years that Baiyi had seen his teacher lose his composure like that. He thought that the Archmage, who had experienced the most extreme life in the human world, the First Walker who had been imprisoned in the Void for more than six thousand years, would have a heart that was as hard and cold as the barrier of the realm. Never would he have thought that such a hard ice would be shattered into pieces in the face of 6,000 years of loyalty.
"My apprentice. I hope that you can take her as your second apprentice and teach her everything that I have learned in my life," The Archmage said in a pleading tone.
"Yes, master," Baiyi replied. Then, he turned to the other Voidwalkers and asked, "I don't think any of you have any objections, right?"
"I'm the first to agree! Loyalty is the most beautiful thing in the world. It's also the thing that I love the most. That's why I chose to become a Lich. I used to think that there's nothing more loyal than the undead in this world. But after hearing this story, I have to admit that I was wrong! "
Even the Devil, who was known for his cunning and treachery, chimed in, "I agree as well! Even though we, the Devil, have always loved to laugh at such a ridiculous thing like loyalty, but in our laughter, there's always a hint of envy and jealousy. "
Since the two representatives of the evil faction had already said so, the other Voidwalkers naturally did not have any objections. Then, Baiyi turned to Tisdale and said in a serious tone, "Thank you, Tisdale. This heavy mission, you will no longer bear it alone."
Tisdale was stunned for a moment before she finally understood what Baiyi was talking about. At once, a look of disbelief and excitement appeared on her face as she stammered, "Y-You're …"
"Not exactly," Baiyi shook his head, "I'm his representative, the embodiment of his will. Tisdale Aegis, from now on, you're my apprentice. That mission will be borne by us together. "
Tisdale knelt down on one knee with her hands crossed on her shoulders. She lowered her head as if she wanted to say something but no words came out. Her body could not stop trembling.
"Calm down first," Baiyi used his Mana to help her up and poured a cup of hot tea for her.
After Tisdale spent a long time to calm down, Mia woke up from her afternoon nap. When she opened her eyes, she saw Tisdale lying beside her, staring at her with her beautiful, clear eyes. A sweet smile once again appeared on her face as she reached out to pinch Mia's little face and said happily, "Mia, I'm back!"
Mia was still in a daze. She did not know why she fell asleep all of a sudden and she did not know why Tisdale would say that to her. However, she could instinctively feel that the golden-haired girl who had brought her through the ruins, the golden silhouette that she had always been chasing after, had finally returned to her.
This made her involuntarily reveal a comfortable and happy smile.
"Now that the two beautiful girls have become your apprentices, Her Excellency the Fairy is going to be busy again when she wakes up," The Scholar said in the Void.
