About two hours later, Lise woke up from her meditation. She could feel the expansion of her meridians. In the past, her mana was mainly stored in her meridians, but now, it was not only thicker, but it was also filled with all the meridians in her body. Her elemental affinity had also increased.
As a mage, the amount of mana stored in the body not only determined the duration of a battle, but some high-level spells could not be used when there was not enough mana. Even if one knew the incantation, their mana could not last that long and could only give up halfway. If they could not stop, they would even cause their mana to be exhausted and their vitality to be drained. This was the reason why his life force was used to forcefully increase his magic power level.
The elemental affinity determined the speed at which one absorbed mana and the degree of cohesiveness when releasing magic, which was also the destructive power of the magic released. Elemental affinity was determined by one's body. In other words, it was equivalent to one's talent in learning magic.
This was also the case for a warrior's affinity with battle energy. Thus, the various academies on the continent used affinity as a standard to measure a student's talent. The higher the affinity, the better the student's talent. The faster the student would learn skills, and the stronger the student would be. Of course, talent alone was not enough. If one did not diligently cultivate magic power, expand the meridians in one's body, and store enough magic power, one would not be able to advance in level and use high-level magic. Therefore, based on this principle, the Mage Union and the Warrior Union used the amount of magic power as the first standard for evaluation.
This time, after Lise had signed a contract with the Flame-Winged Lion, her meridians had expanded, and her mana storage had increased by more than ten times. Her affinity with the Flame-Winged Lion had also increased. She jumped up excitedly and pounced on Doehring, shouting,"Grandpa, you're too good to me.。。。”
"Lise, are you feeling unwell?”Daisy's maternal instinct was worried that there would be any repercussions after she signed the contract.
"Mom, it's fine. Don't worry, I'm fine!”Liz took her mother's hand and answered obediently.
"How is your strength now, little girl?”Des asked.
This was a question that everyone was concerned about. Five pairs of eyes were staring at him, and even Ling Tian was interested. Alice coughed, very pleased with herself, then smiled and said: "According to my teacher's experience, I should have broken through to become a High Mage, but I can't be sure. I have to go to the Guild of Magic for an assessment.”With that, he turned around and walked out.
"Girl, it's already so late. Why are you still going to the Guild of Magic? The Guild is closed. Really!"
" Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter. Having a fifteen-year-old sorcerer in the family would be the center of attention, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a genius. Becoming a High Mage at such a young age not only meant that there was another expert in the family, but it also meant that there was a high chance that he would become a top expert in the future.
Seeing how harmonious their family was, Ling Tian thought back to his own family and his past life, and couldn't help but feel a little envious of Liz.
"Big brother, I still don't understand why Lise can contract a Flamewing Lion.”Des asked.
"Alright, everyone, let's eat." Doehring avoided the topic and led everyone to the living room.
This dinner was to welcome the return of the head of the family, and at the same time, Lise had advanced to a sorcerer, so it was especially sumptuous, with all kinds of delicacies. In the past five years, this was the first time Ling Tian had such a sumptuous dinner. Coupled with Delin's hospitality, he felt a sense of warmth and warmth.
After dinner, three people sat in the study room reserved for the patriarch of the Cole family. They were Doehring, Des, and George. Doehring had a serious expression."George, you have to control Lisi and tell her not to provoke Lingtian.”
"Father, why?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just do as I say. Also, regarding this Flame-Winged Lion, I can tell you a few things, but don't delve too deeply into it. Strictly speaking, I wasn't the one who captured this Fire Winged Lion. It was practically a gift from Ling Tian.”
"A gift from Ling Tian? How was this possible? What can he do at twelve?" Des was a little surprised.
"That's right, father. Who exactly is Ling Tian? Why are you so polite to him?"
"I promised him that I wouldn't say anything about him, so you don't have to ask. Besides, I don't know much about him. Speaking of which, I have to remind you again. You have to remind Lise that this lass is used to being drowned and has never suffered much.”
"Father, Lisi has already reached the strength of a Magic Shooter.”
"Fight him? If it weren't for Alice, she wouldn't want to live." Delin said in a bad mood. At the same time, he thought of the battle with the Ghost Grand Bandits, Ling Tian's killing methods, his beast-like gaze, and his endless killing intent. Even now, he still felt a lingering fear.
"Even if he doesn't win, he'll still care about our big brother's face, our family's influence in the Empire, and the consequences of angering our family.”
"Others might consider this, but I can't guarantee it. In short, you have to take care of that girl. Also, in the future, no matter what Ling Tian requests, you must satisfy him as much as possible.”Doehring wasn't sure what kind of consequences a person who lived in the Magical Beast Forest would consider when doing things. He didn't have the confidence to be sure of such a thing, much less bet his granddaughter's life.
That night, Ling Tian slept very comfortably. The spacious and soft bed and the elegant environment gave Ling Tian a sense of comfort. He felt as if he had returned to five years ago, when he was young and his mother was warm and caring. At that time, his life was also so comfortable and comfortable. Unfortunately, such days were no longer the same. The memories of the past, other than leaving a trace of nostalgia, were more confused, lonely, and sad.
When Ling Tian arrived at the living room, it was bustling with joy and happiness. There were people bustling about everywhere. From Dukes to Barons, from officials to local merchants, from royal relatives to ordinary citizens, everyone came to send gifts and congratulations. Even the Emperor had specially sent people to congratulate them. It was obvious how powerful the Cole family was in the Wind Fire Empire.
This time, the protagonist Lise took off her magic robe and wore a new red dress specially made for her. The dress was embroidered with all kinds of patterns, and the edges of each pattern were inlaid with golden beads. She wore all kinds of gems on her hands, neck, and head, which complemented Lise's charming appearance and charming figure. She looked gorgeous and beautiful. Even the cold Ling Tian could not help but praise her beauty.
When Li Si brought her best friend and walked past Ling Tian, she took a glance at him. Ling Tian was still dressed in the clothes of a farmer and his hair was still messy. She immediately felt disgusted and snorted before turning around and walking in another direction.
"Liz, who is he? How could such a lowly and dirty person come here?”One of the girls shouted.
Liz also couldn't understand why her grandfather and father had repeatedly warned her not to provoke Ling Tian, but she felt disgusted and disgusted by him. She said,"I don't know him! Let's stay away from him!"
Not too far away, Ling Tian could hear every single sentence and could only shake his head with a bitter smile. He then casually found a seat and sat down. The table was filled with all sorts of snacks and wine. Ling Tian rubbed his stomach and continued to eat without stopping, drinking wine while eating snacks. With no one disturbing him, he was happy to be alone.
Ling Tian just sat there until the banquet was about to begin. Although Delin had accompanied him a few times, he was too busy with social events and couldn't spare much time. Ling Tian didn't care about these things and continued to savor the food. At the same time, he observed every movement in the hall and listened to their conversation, giving him a different feeling.
Ling Tian's actions did not seem to be out of place, but the guests who came to attend Lisi's coming-of-age ceremony felt that he had no manners at all. No matter how they looked at him, he looked like a beggar. Therefore, no one paid attention to him, and no one came up to sit at the same table as him.
Suddenly, a young man in a white suit walked in. He was probably fifteen or sixteen years old, but he had an extraordinary temperament. His eyes were cold and arrogant, but he had a smile on his face. His facial features were very handsome. As soon as he stepped through the door, Liz and her best friend shouted,"Young Master Nalan is here!"
This young noble Nalan first smiled at them before sweeping his gaze across the guests in the hall. When he saw Ling Tian, he was stunned for a moment before quickly returning to normal. He then walked towards Lisi, greeting the other guests from time to time. It seemed like this young noble Nalan was well-known in the Imperial Capital.
