To Talk
“My lord?”Desmond directed this question to the group member in a rather bewildered manner and received the reply, “Yes, sir. Would you prefer to be addressed differently?”The young man broke into a huge smile the moment he heard this question. The reason was quite simple.Nobles were addressed as either ‘sir’ or ‘madam’. The only reason this would change was if the noble took people under their command.Once this happened, the chosen individuals under that noble would address them as ‘Lord.’ Of course, those close to the noble still had the option to use the terms “sir” or ‘madam.’In short, this form of address showed that George had accepted Desmond's offer."You may address me using whichever term you prefer," said Desmond, and then began walking down the wide corridor.As Desmond began walking, one of the people following him began to speak:"You have business to attend to today, my lord. Mr Edward Grey came to the manor yesterday and, upon learning that you had retired to your
First Magic Ring
An incredible pain had seized his head. Even the slightest hint of pain was present. Every second, another spell technique appeared in his mind. Elemental spells, patterned spells, and many more continued to exist, and every second, a more powerful technique took their place.Still, one technique seemed to take up more space than all the others. It was a technique that emerged more often. It was as if the essence of magic itself wanted Desmond to apply his technique.Desmond had forced himself into the lotus position and waited as if meditating.He brought his fingertips together on his chest and began to wait like that. When he began to breathe steadily after a short time, a massive flow of magic began to form throughout his body as if nothing had happened.It was as if he were working on cultivation.He could feel the flow of mana passing through his veins, nerves, and muscle cells. The essence of magic wrapped itself around his heart like a madman, and the magical energy, or mana i
Red Diamond
When Selene's System opened the system window, the first thing it did was look at the shop section.This was the most logical choice and, in fact, the only thing it could do because there was nowhere else open except the profile and shop sections.The system had several separate windows, or rather panels, but only two were open.After rummaging through the shop section for quite some time, Desmond realised that different methods for training one's magic and cultivation were indeed being sold.The most interesting of these was something called [Nyx's Gift]. It looked like a pill... or rather, a magic essence.Magic essences were extremely rare and, according to some legends, were mystical items given by gods and goddesses to chosen individuals.These magic essences were things that only the chosen could obtain, and they hyperbolically increased one's power, or at least the foundation of the power to be gained.Desmond could see quite clearly that he could only buy a magic essence, one
Checking The System
"You trust us?" Edward had asked with great curiosity.Desmond, however, had tilted his head and said, "Why wouldn't I? My aunt trusts us, doesn't she?" Then he scratched his head and continued talking:"Look. My aunt frankly hates me. The Moon family is a place where everything works differently. It's not like the imperial family, where everyone loves each other and continues to live together. Living in the Moon family is everything. Why do you think my aunt left? Her thoughts were different, her behaviour and needs, her desire to live was heading in a different direction, and she chose to leave rather than engage in a blood feud with my father."With these words, Edward didn't know what to say; frankly, like the others, he couldn't understand why Desmond had uttered them."Still, you can be sure, Mr Grey," said Desmond. Everyone looking at him could see the deadness in his eyes. It was chilling."I'd rather trust someone like my aunt, who looks me in the face and tells me she hates
You Have My Trust
After these words, Desmond took a deep breath."Still, the rumours... they don't quite capture that kindness in your heart. When we arrived in that big town, you slipped out of the inn without telling me and fed the children on the street, giving them to other hunting groups as workers so they could have a secure future. I saw it all, firsthand," said Desmond, beginning to smile again."I will need power in the future. Please don't misunderstand, not to harm anyone, but to protect those who are mine and those who accept me as theirs. Even if my eyes could see every person in this empire, every centre of power, we both know there are many people even the Goddess herself would not want to see," he added to his own words.After saying all this, he put down the fork and knife in his hand and said, "In that case, I'll take the man I've travelled with for almost three months. He took them into his group and, in every opportunity, gave advice to children who were still weak, and tried to tra
Invitation
"No, but I was wondering if I could attend regular classes whenever I wanted," Desmond replied."Of course. The special permission you've been granted allows you to choose your own classes. Many students select their classes before the school year begins and organise their credits according to their levels, but since you cannot use magic and have no cultivation power within your body, we cannot force you. You can do as you please, within the rules, of course," replied Crowley.Desmond broke into a huge smile when he heard these words. This was truly a great privilege. In short, even though it was already well into the school year, he would be able to attend the classes he wanted."Thank you, sir!" said Desmond, clearly delighted.With that, he rose from his seat and added, "If there's nothing else you need to tell me, I need to find out where Mr Grey is."Crowley then stood up and said, "It was a pleasure to meet you, young man. Come back to my office sometime, this time just to chat.
