After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 15 I Can See Five Colors (2/2)

"Shh!" Reiner pointed at the two sleeping animal-eared girls beside him, signaling her to speak more quietly.

Junice quickly covered her mouth and sat down next to Reiner.

"I like quietness, so I won't make a fuss with them. What about you?"

Coupled with the cultural differences he had received since childhood, Reiner had almost nothing in common with the people here.

In his eyes, these people's emotions were changeable.

They may be happily drinking and bragging one second, and fighting over a trivial matter the next.

"I'm just like you. I also like quiet places." Junice said in a low voice.

She sat up and looked at the sleeping Nora, and whispered, "She seems to trust you very much. This is the first time I've seen a demihuman so defenseless."

She sounded like she dealt with demihumans often.

"Are you a slave trader?"

Junice shook her head and continued, "I have many demihuman servants in my family, and I used to come into contact with them frequently."

After that, she took out a book and started reading, and a ball of fire ignited in the palm of her hand to illuminate the sky.

It was Reiner's first time observing a magician casting a spell up close, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The fire came out of nowhere from the palm of her hand.

Junice looked at Reiner and smiled softly, "Does it feel amazing?"

Reiner nodded and continued, "Can you teach me?"

Junice hesitated, seeming a little embarrassed. "I can try to teach you, but let me be clear. Magic is not something that everyone can learn. You might try for a long time but still get nothing in the end."

"Hmm."

Junice sat down across from Reiner and took his left hand: "Close your eyes, I'll give you a simple test."

Reiner closed his eyes, and everything around him suddenly became pitch black.

Junice whispered, "Don't be afraid. Calm your mind and tell me...what did you see?"

"I've closed my eyes, what can I see? I can't see anything."

Junice laughed softly a few times: "You are such an interesting person. I don't want you to look at me with my eyes, but with my heart."

Reiner was becoming increasingly confused.

Junice was like a seasoned charlatan, and she made him confused.

At this moment, a giant crystal clear crystal miraculously appeared in the dark sight.

Reiner raised his head, stared at the crystal, and said slowly: "I saw... a crystal?"

There was joy in Junice's tone: "You are very lucky to have the talent to become a mage. That magic crystal is where you store your magic power. Its size determines the upper limit of its capacity.

How big is it?

"It's hard to describe. It's like a mountain. I can't see the end and I don't know how big it is." Reiner said seriously.

Junice suddenly became confused. "Really? Some magicians' magic crystals are like apples, some are like trees, but I've heard of magic crystals as huge as mountains... What else did you see?"

Then a hint of light green appeared in Reiner's sight and then penetrated into the magic crystal.

"Green, light green mist, it penetrated into the magic crystal."

Junice whispered, "Congratulations. That's the wind element, one of the three fundamental elements. You are the chosen one who can cast wind-attributed magic."

Then, Reiner saw a flash of yellow again.

Then came red, purple, blue...

"Let me ask you something. Is there any magician who can use magic of two or more attributes at the same time?"

Junice laughed again, this time her voice filled with pride. "Of course it exists, and it's right here in front of you! I can skillfully cast water and fire magic."

"Is there a magician who can use three attributes?"

"I've never heard of this before. It's rare to have two of them at that time."

Reiner sweatdropped.

He hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Then how come I can see two colors at once?"
