After a night, Luo Fan finally digested the bottle of blood. He felt that the range of his perception had more than doubled, and the magic patterns on the magic core in his body had become clearer, but he couldn't tell what the effect was.
Consequently, the flow of magic became faster, and the body became more agile, giving a sense of ease and control.
Furthermore, the slime had become even more corrosive to clothes. Luo Fan secretly tried it out and made a large hole in the bed sheet, which scared him so much that he quickly cleaned up the remaining slime.
Inside the courtyard, Ellie was teaching Liz how to use light magic, while Lofan was giving instructions, and Daisy and Xiaoxue were meditating on the side.
Kerry has disappeared somewhere. I heard he's in seclusion and hasn't been seen for several days.
After a full day of investigation, the Duchess found a maid who had been infected and temporarily imprisoned her. At the same time, she strengthened the castle's defenses, allowing everyone to focus on their cultivation.
Meanwhile, in Sacred Heart City, many people were secretly arrested, and the city maintained a semblance of stability. After all, it was the dead of winter, and there weren't many people out and about normally.
Even the Adventurers' Guild was much quieter, with only a few quest lists hanging on the huge quest wall. Basically, very few people would choose to go out and do quests at this time unless absolutely necessary.
At that moment, a man with a scar on his face walked in, exchanged for a special dungeon pass, and then turned and left.
"That's actually a B-rank adventurer!" Several female mascots huddled together, whispering among themselves.
"Going to the dungeon in the dead of winter, that's really hard work! Unlike others, who are not only low level but also less hardworking!"
"Then go and pursue her!"
"I don't like someone so ugly, hee hee~!"
"I wonder where the president went. It seems like he hasn't been here for a few days!"
"What's wrong, getting horny? Watch out, Anna might beat you up!"
"Sister Anna wouldn't do that!"
"I reckon Anna will just stab you right now, hehe~"
Scarface passed the inspection smoothly and disappeared into the Ice Shadow Dungeon.
Inside the castle.
"Ellie, I've finally reached level 6 as a beginner mage! Now we can explore dungeons together!" Daisy laughed happily.
Lately, she has been spending all her time with the Ellie sisters, even when sleeping.
"Yes, that's great. Xiaoxue is so strong, dealing with those magical beasts will be a piece of cake."
“He’s really good too, okay?” Daisy pouted, still unconvinced, and continued, “Luo Fan is very strong too. It’s just that there’s still more than a month before school starts, and I can’t wait.”
Inside the room.
"Is there an underground city inside that cave?" the Duchess exclaimed.
"Yes, after investigation, we did find quite a few low-level magical beasts inside, and the structure is very similar to that of a dungeon," the butler explained from the side. He was also quite surprised by this discovery.
Dungeons only form in areas with high concentrations of magic energy, forming interconnected caverns through the action of various rock-eating microorganisms. Only when the magic energy is depleted will the magical beasts escape, and the dungeons will slowly disappear.
The development of Sacred Heart City was largely due to the nearby underground cities, which attracted countless adventurers, merchants, and many nobles to settle there.
This place is a natural paradise for adventurers with ice attributes.
"Which floor have we explored so far?"
"The third level is dominated by ice-attribute magical beasts, with ice scorpions being the most numerous. More detailed information requires sending in more people; the dungeon is vast, and there are still many areas in the first three levels that haven't been fully explored."
“Let’s continue. Now the family has another source of income. We’ll raise everyone’s wages when the Duke comes back.”
"Thank you, Madam!"
After a few days of quiet, Kerry jumped for joy upon hearing the news.
"Haha, my house has a dungeon now! I want to explore it! I absolutely have to go!"
So, at Luo Fan's urging, Kerry led the team, and Ellie, Daisy, and Liz joined in, temporarily forming an adventure team to train in the dungeon.
He was followed by a number of guards, and even the butler was present; he was a true ice-type archmage.
Returning to the place, I found that after this period of development, the road into the cave had been repaired in many ways, and the stream had been completely frozen, giving people the feeling of being in a crystal palace.
"Daisy, this is where you fought back then, isn't it?"
"Yeah, big brother. Thinking back on it now, I'm still so scared."
"A level 30+ Frost Serpent, I really want to see it!" Kerry said with longing. He was already a D-rank adventurer and had participated in many battles before, but he still had no experience fighting low-level magical beasts.
He's currently only a level 9 novice mage, and he needs to find a suitable opportunity to break through. His snowman is stuck at level 30, and it's said that it might only break through through battle.
The butler didn't speak, but carefully examined the slime in Xiaoxue and Lis's arms, completely unable to imagine how it had killed the Ice Serpent.
It sounds simple, but the serpent isn't stupid. If it really can't be defeated, it can escape and no one can catch it.
What an amazing little guy!
Luo Fan, of course, had no idea what the butler thought of him. At this moment, he was patiently guiding Lily and teaching her how to use magical elements to "see" her surroundings.
Having already reached level 9 as an apprentice mage, she is proficient in several light-based spells, including a second-tier one.
Even Ellie envied this talent.
"Yes, that's it. Use the light elements inside the cave to detect changes in the surroundings. Once there's a big fluctuation, it's either someone else or a magical beast making an appearance."
“The cave is filled with ice, which won’t block the flow of light. Liss, just imagine yourself as light. Even without eyes, you can see some of the things around you.”
“Okay, Brother Fan.” Releasing her sister’s hand, Lis tried again, and sure enough, just as Luo Fan had said, a gray world had formed around her.
All around was transparent ice and flickering light; the dark shapes were stones. Her sister and Luo Fan also appeared black, but Luo Fan looked small, lying in her arms looking at her.
"Can you sense it?" Luo Fan couldn't help but ask. He noticed that Liss was facing him. Although there was no reflection in her eyes, Luo Fan felt that she was looking at him.
"Mmm, thank you, Brother Fan!" The little girl was very happy. Ever since she started talking with her brother, she felt happy every day.
"Then watch for a while longer, and remember to rest when you get tired. This kind of state is very taxing on your concentration. Take your time, there's no rush," Luo Fan reminded her, afraid that this little girl would force herself.
"Mmm~"
Following behind her sister, without anyone helping her, Liz walked very steadily.
"Luo Fan, where did you learn all this from?" Ellie finally couldn't help but ask.
"The Duke's study has all sorts of books. But you're too stupid to understand them, and even if I explain them to you, you still won't learn them."
“If you and Lis can learn it, how could I not learn it! Teach me!” Alice grabbed the slime from Xiaoxue’s arms and pulled it around haphazardly.
"Why are you still angry? Then I'll explain it to you and Xue'er again. If Xue'er learns it but you still can't, then you have to admit that you're a big idiot and say it out loud!"
"What if I learn it?"
"I'll admit you're not a complete idiot! From now on, I'll teach you first when I find something fun."
"Okay, deal, let's begin!"
