Chapter 157 So I want to be a Mafia
He asked somewhat incredulously.
Anna nodded, stretched out her long tongue, wiggled it in front of him like a real snake, and said: "That's right. Magic wands and incantations are just a way to channel energy and combine them into skills."
"But you have me; my nature is the element 'Fire', that's why I can do it for you without having to pay for the methods I just mentioned."
After listening, Lathel felt like he had just received a cheat software in this world.
To think that while other magicians were still chanting spells, he was able to use the skill quickly.
'Wait!' Lathel suddenly thought of Alec: 'Alec now possesses the Black Rose Flame, which also means that he can do this.'
'Ah! As expected of the male protagonist, he already has this kind of cheat from the beginning. It seems... his flexing and face-slapping journey will be extremely smooth, without any obstacles.'
However, Lathel did not feel that it was unfair or jealous.
He returned to the real world and asked Cauldron: "How much time... has passed?"
"About an hour or so." Hearing that, Lathel nodded.
Suddenly, a maid appeared and walked towards him. She bowed her head and said: "Young master, there is someone who wants to see you."
"Someone wants to see me?"
"Yes, it's Claire."
Lathel frowned and said: "I don't want to see her."
"But..." The maid hesitated a bit: "She said she had something important to tell you. Regarding Malina and Mardian's plans." New novel chapters are published on
Lathel heard that and thought for a moment. The maid continued: "Young master, I know I am not qualified to instruct you on what to do. However, I think you should meet Claire."
"Hm?! Why?"
"Because she can inform you about Malina's next plan."
Lathel frowned and said: "But she promised not to bother me anymore."
The maid shook her head and said, "Master, your plan has hundreds of holes."
"Claire is a maid after all, she can't decide everything. Forewarning you of Malina's plans seems to be all she can do."
"Besides... even if Alec didn't cause you trouble, he could have let someone else do it. That cannot be called betraying the promise."
Lathel sighed upon hearing that; he really thought about those things too. However, when he saw Claire begging in despair and Malina lying on the bed with fatal injuries... He couldn't ignore them.
His nature did not allow him to ignore someone who was dying.
Lathel sighed and said: "Do you think I am very stupid?"
The maid raised her head and quickly said: "Young master, you are not stupid. On the contrary, I greatly admire what you have done."
"Young master, this dark world needs a ray of light like you. I vow to be your blade and shield to protect you, so that you continue to shine."
Hearing that, Lathel just shook his head and smiled without saying anything. He knew that this maid was his servant; that's why she said that.
If it were anyone else, they would have scolded him for being stupid, indecisive, and easily controlled by others.
"Wow! Lathel..." Lilith smiled shyly, seemingly forgetting that she and he had just argued yesterday: "You're so sweet."
"So..." Lathel smiled and said: "Can Claire not be my disciple?"
"Huh!" Lilith's face became serious again: "No more negotiations."
Hearing that, Lathel could only sigh.
Lilith pouted: "Huh! I brought you a treasure, and you treat her like trash?"
Lathel shook her head: "I just don't want to get into more trouble. Lilith, can you..."
"No! Lathel, you should understand that her talent will help you a lot. It will even help you hide your Half-Vampire identity."
Listening to Lilith, Lathel was startled and frowned. He also became more serious: "What do you mean..."
Lilith pointed her chin at Claire and said: "Look at her, her talent is 'Healing', but her 'Healing' is completely different from the Priests."
"Her 'healing' talent is even more advanced than that of the priests, and it can help you heal external injuries quickly."
"In addition, Claire's 'healing' ability is similar to the vampire's self-healing ability. That's why you can hide your identity."
Lathel was startled when he heard that; his face was full of surprise as he looked at Lilith. He didn't think that there was such a big reason for Lilith forcing him to accept Claire as a student.
That means that Lilith is always thinking of ways to help him hide his identity.
Lathel felt extremely embarrassed, he thought that Lilith only acted according to her own feelings.
But...
He sighed and said: "Thank you, Lilith."
"Huh! You always think of me as a child, but you don't understand that I'm trying to help you." Lilith pouted and said.
"Wait!" Lathel frowned: "If you want to help me, then you just need to tell me the reason. Why stay silent and act as if it is your subjective opinion?"
"If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore."
Hearing Lilith's answer, Lathel held his forehead. He felt that Lilith was really a child, and this gave him a headache.
Lathel sighed and said: "I really thank you for what you did for me, however, if she were just my student, then it would be meaningless. She can't accompany me anyway, and besides, tomorrow I'll be entering the magic academy."
Lilith crossed her arms across her chest, she looked thoughtful, nodded, and said: "Uhm! You're right, that's why I'll let her enroll with you."
Lathel: "..."
"Oy! Do you understand what I'm saying? She is Malina's servant, how can she enroll with me?"
"Of course I have a way." Lilith pouted: "I will write a letter of introduction; that's enough. Huh! If the administrators of the magic academy don't listen to my words, I will flatten the students."
Lathel: ( ̄ ̄ |||)
"I feel like you really are like the Mafia."
"What is a mafia?" Lilith tilted her head and asked.
Lathel sighed and replied: "They are people who specialize in doing bad things. They act according to their own desires without paying attention to the law and society's rules."
"Ah! So I want to be in the Mafia." Lilith happily said: "I want to do as I like; I don't like to obey any laws."
Lathel: "..."
