Aur slowly took sips of his tea with a satisfied expression on his face, his mind soon regaining tranquility.
"Lucy, your skill in tea-making has increased a lot," Aur casually praised, slowly sipping the tea sip by sip.
"Thank you, Young master," Lucy replied with a forced smile.
Seeing this, Aur's eyes took on a meaningful expression.
"This girl finally knows what will happen as I show more affection to her, the more my enemies will target her," he mused to himself.
However, Lucy had already fallen into a bottomless hole; even if she somehow stopped now, people weren't stupid.
As for his family, there was still a chance they would be targeted. It was inevitable, but he had some plans for that. First, he needed to secure enough resources for now.
This was inevitable as Aur grew stronger and his status rose. Even if he was benevolent and had his own backing, people would still come to him for trouble and make enemies because it conflicted with their interests.
For every iota of resources, you must fight for it, especially in these villages where resources were very scarce and low.
It wasn't apparent to Aur previously, but now he knew that after reaching tier two, the resources that he found plentiful would become insufficient.
Aur stood up from his recliner chair and stretched his muscles, which made a cracking sound.
"Young master," Lucy said, a little startled.
"Go do your work," he lightly said, and she instinctively moved her feet, leaving the place almost like a puppet.
Only after leaving did Lucy suddenly awaken again, her breathing rising, her heart beating faster and faster.
"What just happened to me?" she thought in her heart, feeling weird. However, she didn't dwell on these matters for long before she left the place.
Aur looked a little stunned, seeing her robotic walk until she left the place.
"These life level attributes seem to be interesting," his eyes flashed.
After thinking of this, he opened his blue panel in front of him.
"Muscle system."
Fortunately, he also found that even if he was busy doing his own things, as long as he put a slight focus on refining his mana, the speed was at least several times faster compared to before when he didn't meditate to refine the mana.
This was probably also the effect of his life level.
Although it might not have seemed like Aur gained any strength from increasing the attribute, it had overall helped him in almost every aspect until now.
"Let's gather some more intel about lifespan spells. I don't believe that there is not a single spell left, even if it doesn't. I must ask Noah, no matter what. I need a lifespan spell," Aur's eyes narrowed to a slither.
Just as he was walking out of his backyard, he heard a knock.
Aur opened the door and was surprised, his eyebrows raised.
"Greetings, Head Guard."
"Greetings, Elder Aur."
...
Noah looked at the person in front of him with an impassive face.
The man wore a green wizard robe, covering a slightly hunched back. Through his dried hand, visible from his long green wizard robe, he held a stick.
"Alchemist Elmer, why have you come to this humble one's office?" Noah asked with a smile on his face.

"It's because of Aur," Elmer said directly, without skipping a beat. His voice was hoarse as it echoed in the room.
"Oh, and why is that?" Noah asked again.
"He killed one of the people whom I thought had the talent to be an alchemist," Elmer replied.
"Is that so?" Noah smiled, however, he cursed in his heart. "This old foggy is one foot to his grave but is quite cunning. How did he even know that Aur has become an alchemist or had the potential to become one?" His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Alchemist Elmer, I have already discussed with the elder and Travis that the ungrateful disciple of the fifth elder was obviously looking for trouble, so there was no punishment for Elder Aur," Noah stated.
"I talked to the fifth elder myself and convinced him. So why are you pursuing this matter further?"
