The torrential rain lasted for a very, very long time...
When the first ray of sunlight broke through the deep, dark clouds, the "fireworks" that bloomed on the ground finally stopped, and the golden sunlight spread from the horizon, painting the sky clear and blue.
Inside the room, Ruan Qing'an sat on the edge of the bed, with a soft carpet on the floor. A tall, shirtless man sat on the carpet, his hair still wet, and lay on her lap.
"You took a shower, why didn't you change your clothes?"
"I'm afraid the owner will disappear again..."
Hearing the big dog's aggrieved words, Ruan Qing'an shook her head and chuckled. She pointed her slender fingertips in the air, and flames quickly appeared. The gradually rising temperature dried Aldrich's wet hair.
It was warm and cozy, a stark contrast to the torrential rain earlier, making everyone feel much more at ease. Aldridge, who hadn't had a good rest at the courthouse, now nestled close to her and fell into a deep sleep...
Only after Aldrich fell asleep did Nguyen Thanh An wave his hand, and the flames that had been leaping in the air obediently dissipated.
037 couldn't help but ask: "I feel like the male lead is getting more and more clingy. My goodness, why is he sticking to you right after I took a shower?"
“...Abandoned dogs will always feel uneasy.”
Ruan Qingan slowly stroked Aldrich's hair, and as he lowered his eyes, he whispered, "Fear of loss, fear of abandonment, but unfortunately this is a necessary process and means of taming."
Actually... in the end, didn't you soften your heart, ancestor?
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingan paused.
037 continued: "[This is just my guess, Ancestor. I feel that your initial intention was probably to provoke the male lead, to see if you could intensify his emotions, ideally allowing him to break through the seal of that black light spot, right?]"
[If that's the case, then the intensity of the stimulation just now was clearly insufficient, ancestor, you couldn't possibly not know that.]
Ruan Qing'an was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said, "So, I'm against you going back to the Administration Bureau. Little system, once the CPU is upgraded, it's not as easy to fool as before."
037：【ヽ(?Д?)?】
Before 037 could speak, she chuckled, "He's just being soft-hearted. Mentally speaking, he's only a five or six-year-old child."
Ruan Qing'an lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on Aldridge. Looking at his bare upper body, the muscle lines were even more beautiful. Her gaze paused for a moment, and she silently looked away.
Of course, if you don't look at his appearance, he's still a child.
...
Although Aldrich was determined to have no magical talent after the talent test, which made many people secretly laugh at Ruan Qing'an for misjudging him, fortunately, the fact that the priest discovered he had no elemental affinity was not exposed.
The servant who originally thought Aldrich would be kicked out never expected that he would be kept on. But never questioning or arguing was ingrained in his bones.
As for Lucas, the only butler who could speak a few words to Nguyen Thanh An, he has also stopped saying much lately.
Aldrich was not idle either. Although he could not practice magic, Ruan Qingan instructed Lucas to find warriors to guide Aldrich. Fortunately, his physical talent seemed to be far beyond that of ordinary people, and he made rapid progress in a short period of time.
Seven days later, the Lycas Empire's Magician Exchange Conference was held in grand style within the Lycas Empire's royal palace.
The exchange meeting was held in the courtyard, which was decorated with specially crafted ornaments and other items themed around different elements, making the courtyard elegant and exquisite, and imbuing it with a magical academic atmosphere.
In the center of the courtyard, a raised platform was specially added so that magicians who wanted to express their opinions could explain things to everyone from the platform.
It's clear that the Lycas royal family put a lot of effort into this.
Soon, more and more mages took their seats. Only those of the rank of Mage or higher were given special seats; everyone else had to sit at the back and listen to the lecture, until all the seats were filled.
"They're here! The people from the Church of Light have arrived!"
"That must be the bishop of the Lycas branch church. I didn't expect them to go to such lengths this time, even inviting him!"
"Of course, after all, it's a joint venture between the royal family and the church."
The magicians, who could only listen in the back row, discussed in hushed tones. They then saw an old man dressed in a red church robe, holding a staff in one hand, followed by none other than Saint Eileen.
Although Eileen was only an intermediate-level mage and could only sit in the back of the crowd, she had come with the cardinal after all. Not only did she have an invitation, but she was also a saint of the Church of Light. So she had to be given some face, and thus she was given a seat behind the cardinal.
Almost everyone had arrived, but at the very top, in the two seats representing the archmages, only the cardinal was seated; the other chair remained empty.
Immediately, there was a flurry of discussion among the people below.
The cardinal waited a moment, then suddenly said to Eileen, "Eileen, do you know who the other archmage who has come this time is?"
"Your Excellency, it should be Dolores, right?"
"Hehe, it really is her."
As she spoke, the cardinal chuckled, "I can sense the activity of the fire elements around us. It seems her magical skills are becoming increasingly profound. She's a force to be reckoned with."
Upon hearing this, Eileen unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress.
Just then, footsteps finally came from not far away. A girl wearing a dark gold cloak was seen walking in, followed by a tall man in a black outfit. The two walked in one after the other.
Her eyes and brows exuded an air of arrogant nobility. As she strode over, the hem of her skirt fluttered slightly in the wind, making her appear haughty and unapproachable.
"Dolores Lancaster has come at your invitation."
"Your Excellency, it's been a long time."
