Chapter 89

‘It was not until the backs of Locke and Athena completely disappeared that Lydia withdrew her sight. Locke Capet, I admitted that you were attractive for girls and good-looking, but I won’t regret what I did in the past. We were destined not to be in the same world!’

“Oh, you are here, Lydia.”

At this moment, a pleasant voice came from behind of Lydia.

With her back to the source of the voice, Lydia took a deep breath and put aside the negative emotions in her mind. She forced a smile on her face and turned around.

Following the direction of her gaze, Lydia could see four young boys and girls in magic robes. They were both level-1 mages.

The four level-1 mages of such a young age were very conspicuous in Kabia City, and the surrounding commoners looked at them with respect.

Shaking her head, Lydia said to the four, “Nothing. I just met an acquaintance and went up to greet him.”

In the middle of the four was a beautiful and tall girl. The young girl had the unique noble temperament of an aristocrat. It could be judged that the girl was the leader of these boys and girls. The girl who had spoken earlier was also this young girl.

Staring at her face, Joanna was a little confused. Although Lydia hid her emotions well, Joanna still noticed a trace of depression on her face.

However, seeing that Lydia didn’t want to tell her the reason, Joanna didn’t ask any more questions. She turned to the other three people with a smile and said, “It’s late. Let’s go back and have a good rest tonight.”

Compared to the girls’ sensitivity, the boys were a little dull and didn’t notice anything wrong with Lydia.

“It’s time to go back. The city is too small. Nothing was interesting.” A level-1 fire mage looked around the buildings and ordinary people boringly with a trace of judgment, which always gave people a sense of superiority.

Another earth mage beside him glanced at him indifferently, as if reminding him not to be too ostentatious. Then he smiled and said, “It’s indeed time to go back. Everyone should go to bed early today, and we have to set off for Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts tomorrow.”

The mage, who had spoken earlier, pursed his lips and did not restrain himself at all. However, when he heard the name “Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts”, he became excited and was eager to have a try.

Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts was located in Naton County. Compared with the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts was much smaller and also a training place for practitioners.

The others didn’t say anything, and they quickly reached an agreement.

At the other end of the street, in front of a shop selling small toys, Athena was holding a mechanical toad in her hand. She clicked on the switch on the back of the mechanical toad, and it jumped up on the table.

Looking at the jumping toad, Athena asked casually, “You two seem to have a special relationship.”

Locke also knew Athena was talking about Lydia.

“We used to be good friends.”

All of a sudden, a picture of the past flashed through Locke’s mind. The little girl chased after him all day long and asked him to teach her magic theory.

With a bitter smile on his face, he continued, “Later, she woke up magic talent and successfully got the admission qualification of Scilar Magic Academy.”

“I was very happy for her when I heard the news. She suddenly told me on the day when the two of us celebrated together.”

“I don’t live in the same world with her. It’s better to keep a distance from her.”

Finally, Locke looked helpless. When he said these words, he was very calm, not as angry as he was six years ago.

Athena turned to look at Locke. A few seconds later, she smiled and said softly, “She will regret it.”

“Maybe.”

Locke shrugged and replied with a smile.

With a charming smile on her face, Athena put the mechanical toad in her hand and said, “I like it very much. Buy it.”

The peddler had planned to give the mechanical toad to the two of them directly, but Locke still left a silver coin and walked away in the peddler’s grateful eyes.

The second day.

In the hall, Count Capet looked energetic with a happy face.

“Sir Count, have you become a knight of level 3?”

Feeling the unstable smell of level 3 from Count Capet, Kotter was surprised.

Count Capet nodded proudly.

At this time, Locke also came to the hall. When he saw Count Capet’s breakthrough, he was not surprised. After all, Count Capet had been at the practice base of level 2 many years ago. After years of accumulation, the fighting spirit in his body had been very strong. After taking the medicine, the breakthrough was also a natural thing.

After breakfast, Locke told Count Capet about his departure.

“Are you going to Scilar Magic Academy?”

When Count Capet heard that Locke was going to the place, his eyes narrowed slightly. He was surprised and a little excited, but he asked with confusion, “But aren’t you already a level-3 mage?”

According to the rules of Scilar Magic Academy, the level-3 mage had reached the standard of graduation.

“I didn’t say I was a student.” Locke shook his head and smiled mysteriously. Under the more confused eyes of Count Capet, he continued, “I’ve accepted the invitation of the dean of Scilar Magic Academy, Philemon, to be a tutor in Scilar Magic Academy.”

Hearing this, Count Capet took a deep breath, with uncontrollable shock in his eyes.

Scilar Magic Academy invited his son to be a tutor. How ridiculous it was! But he also knew that there was no need for Locke to lie to him.

A few minutes later, Count Capet calmed down. He stared at Locke and asked in a low voice, “Boy, how many things do you hide from me?”

“That’s all for now.” Locke promised with a smile, shrugging his shoulders. Of course, he wouldn’t tell Count Capet anything about the system and gods like Athena. Of course, it was not that he didn’t trust Count Capet. The summoning system was too mysterious, and the fewer people knew it, the better it was.

Seeing Locke’s casual expression, Count Capet knew that he couldn’t believe it. But he still felt happy for Locke from the bottom of his heart.

After staying at home for another two days, Locke and Athena decided to go to the Scilar Magic Academy.

Locke intended to ask Count Capet to go to Lister as well. First, two divine temples in Lister could increase people’s practice speed. Second, with the development of Lister, it needed a person to make a plan. Count Capet was undoubtedly a very suitable person.
