Room entrance.
"I choose the path of the Hunter."
"I'm sorry, my lord, please forgive my willfulness."
Despite making the choice he desired, Berg's face was full of apprehension, and he even lowered his head, not daring to look at Xian.
Because he knew that choosing the orthodox path of the Knight was the proper choice for a qualified Servant, something countless people dreamed of but never had the opportunity for.
However, inheriting his father's last wish was one aspect, but he still needed at least a year to advance to Knight. How could he shoulder the responsibility of protecting his lord during this year?
He didn't want to have his sword easily knocked out of his hand by the enemy in front of his lord again. He hoped that was the last time! "Do what you want to do. This is by no means willfulness, and I believe you can go further on the path of the Hunter and bring me greater glory."
"As we agreed in the past, you offer me your loyalty, and I will protect you on your path to becoming a strong person. This is my responsibility."
Xian said calmly.
Hearing this, the young man's palms clenched tightly, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his brown eyes.
"Your Highness, thank you for saving me from the wolf pack in the past, and for taking me as your Servant and guiding my path."
"I, Berg Chu, swear to the gods that even if one day I lose my human form and become a beast, I will remember the kindness of my lord and forever, forever gnaw on the flesh and blood of his enemies!"
Midnight, a full moon hung high in the deep sky, scattering thousands of silver rays.
Top of the clock tower.
A petite, silver-haired girl stood beside the huge bronze bell, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
She wore a white dress, and her silver hair flowed like a waterfall in the night wind, shimmering with moonlight.
The hem of her white dress was lifted by the wind, revealing slender, jade-like ankles.
Her heterochromatic eyes of red and gray reflected the full moon. Her hand gently rested on the slightly rusty bronze bell, and her snow-white fingertips were stained with a faint verdigris.
Clatter, clatter, clatter.
At this moment, a series of footsteps came from the spiral staircase. Hearing the sound, the girl stopped looking at the moon and turned to stand respectfully to the side.
"Good evening, Your Highness."
After the black-haired young man walked up to the attic, the girl slightly lifted the hem of her white dress and bowed respectfully.
"Ilith, you look very beautiful today."
Xian looked at the girl shining in the moonlight in front of him, and a hint of amazement flashed in his dark eyes. He stretched out his right hand and spread it out in front of the girl.
Seeing this, Ilith's pretty face blushed slightly, but she still slowly placed her hand on Xian's palm.
Then, Xian leaned down and gently kissed the back of her hand.
A hand-kiss, one of the books he read today was Noble Etiquette.
"Your Highness, today is the full moon, the best time to practice Moonlight Meditation. Please begin your contemplation immediately."
Ilith said softly.
"Okay."
Xian followed Ilith's instructions, sitting cross-legged in the attic in the best position to face the full moon in the sky.
"Your Highness, this is a magic potion that can help you get started with meditation. Please take it."
Ilith took out a bottle of light blue potion and handed it to Xian.
Viscount Hughes had bought this when she was first learning magic a few years ago. He bought a whole box, but she only used three or four bottles before she successfully sensed magic, so it had been piled up in the storage room ever since.
Xian hesitated for a moment, then gulped down the magic potion.
After all, Ilith had no reason to poison him.
Tsk, it tastes quite sweet, like drinking a sweet wine.
After drinking the magic potion, Xian felt his mind inexplicably relax a lot, and his emotions became as calm as water.
"Remember the appearance of the full moon in the night sky."
"Close your eyes, relax your breathing, and listen to the whispers of the wind."
"Imagine the full moon you just memorized in your mind."
The girl's soft, kitten-like voice rang in his ears, and Xian followed the instructions step by step.
He tried hard to imagine the full moon in the night sky in the darkness.
Having more than ten years of experience in absent-mindedness in class, he surprisingly did it very easily.
"Your Highness, imagine your soul leaving your body, standing alone on the full moon, looking out at the dark continent, looking at your body."
Ilith's guidance continued.
Xian continued to do so, and he felt very wonderful now.
There was a sense of freedom as if his soul had really left his body and was floating like an immortal.
Soon, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he only remembered the bright moon.
On the clock tower, Ilith looked at Xian, who was completely still and even breathing slowly, and a look of shock flashed in her flawless ruby-like eyes.
Because this was a sign of successful meditation.
Back then, it took her a whole week to successfully meditate, and even then, she was praised by her teacher as an unparalleled genius in the magician world!
He claimed that if she didn't have heterochromia, he would definitely take her to the Star Tower, the holy land of all magicians, to learn the most profound magic in the world.
But Your Highness only used one hour. This can't even be described as a genius, it can be said that he is the world's favorite!
"This is, the blessing brought by the faith of 1.4 billion people..."
Ilith looked at the white "Heir to a Kingdom of 1.4 Billion Citizens" above Xian's head, and a trace of complexity flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Having read all the books in the entire library, she knew very well that the belief of intelligent beings was a kind of power in itself.
"A world where heterochromia is not a symbol of bad luck, I really want to see it!"
The girl looked at the back of her hand where she had been kissed and murmured to herself.
This was the first time she had been praised for being beautiful, and the first time she had received a kiss on the hand from a member of the opposite sex.
The first ray of dawn pierced the night, and the distant horizon gradually turned a fish-belly white.
Buzz! Accompanied by a melodious bell ringing in his ears, Xian slowly opened his eyes.
He felt as if he had had a dream, walking alone on the moon for a long time without seeing anyone, only to gaze lonely at the distant Earth, like the opening screen of some social software.
"Your Highness, congratulations. You have successfully learned the Moonlight Meditation in just one night. Before you, I have never heard of anyone being able to do this," Ilith said softly as she stood before him.
"So, I'm considered talented on the path of magic?" Xian asked, stretching his sore and numb legs.
"Your Highness, please extend a finger and try to concentrate all your mind on the fingertip," Ilith said, not answering, but continuing to speak.
Xian did as he was told, and before long, he felt a cool sensation gathering from all over his body to his fingertip.
Then, a faint white light, like a firefly, appeared on his fingertip—Blank Magic.
Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Ilith's face.
"Your Highness, a Magician needs talents in many aspects, so I cannot guarantee that you are definitely a magical genius, but…" The girl changed her tone.
"At least in meditating to accumulate magic power, even the darlings of magic, the elves, can absolutely not compete with you." Ilith said decisively.
"In this regard, you are a unique super genius in the entire world! Asking for monthly tickets, asking for monthly tickets, thank you all for helping me get into the top ten, Thanks(ω)
