I'm Going to Cheat!

Bell tower rooftop.

"What should I learn next about magic?"

Xian wasn't thrilled by Ilith's praise. After all, even the most talented person only has potential; the power you hold in your hands is what truly matters.

"You've already sensed Magic Power. If you didn't already have a Mortal Rank profession, you would have obtained the Magic Apprentice profession by now."

Ilith looked at the white "College Student" above Xian's head and said with a hint of regret.

"Your Highness, what you need to learn next are Magic Runes, the cornerstone of all magic and the description of the truth of all things in the world."

Ilith extended a finger, and white light flowed like water at her fingertip. Then, her finger deftly drew graceful arcs in the air.

After a moment, an intricate pattern emitting a soft white light gradually appeared, suspended in the air.

"Your Highness, this is the most basic Magic Rune. Its meaning is wind," Ilith said softly.

Then she raised her fingertip again and continued to draw. After a moment, a pattern more intricate than the previous Magic Rune appeared in the air.

"This is cutting."

Under Ilith's control, the two Magic Runes gradually overlapped.

The next moment, the wind moved.

A transparent Wind Blade appeared abruptly, cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and struck the huge bronze bell fiercely.

Buzz buzz buzz! In an instant, the bronze bell emitted a deafening roar, and the sound waves echoed across Black Wolf Castle like a tide.

For a time, countless people in the castle were awakened from their sleep.

"This is magic?"

Xian approached the bronze bell, looked at the clear crack cut into the surface of the bronze bell by the Wind Blade, and said with a somewhat shocked expression.

What can cut through bronze and iron can certainly tear flesh and blood easily.

"Your Highness, this can't be considered magic. Real magic is much more powerful than this, and drawing it is several times more difficult and complicated," Ilith shook her head.

"This can only be called a Magical Art."

Ilith said calmly, a hint of imperceptible loss flashing in her heterochromatic eyes.

As expected of a mage!

Even a Magical Art is so powerful! "Ilith, is my next task to learn Magic Runes?" A hint of excitement flashed across Xian's face. He couldn't wait to cast Magical Arts like Ilith.

"Yes, but this will be a long process. You need to memorize the seven basic Magic Runes, such as sun, wind, and Earth, and hundreds of commonly used Magic Runes."

"In addition, what's even more difficult is that you need to master the flow and drawing of Magic Power, and stack Magic Runes. This process is a great test of your finger flexibility and is the most difficult part of releasing magic."

"Most people need to practice for several years to learn how to draw the first basic Magic Rune."

Ilith said softly.

Becoming a Magician requires not only the talent for meditation, but also memory, comprehension, and even finger flexibility are essential.

This is also why Magicians are known as the most difficult profession to advance in, and why she did not praise Your Highness as a magical genius.

"Wait, Ilith, isn't learning Magic Runes equivalent to learning a language?" Xian keenly noticed the key point.

Basic Magic Runes, common Magic Runes... it all looks like a language.

"Yes, Your Highness has a strong understanding. Great Mage Byers once referred to the study of Magic Runes as 'Magic Language' and speculated that the supreme gods might communicate through Magic Runes."

Ilith praised. She deeply felt how easy it was to teach a smart "student."

Hearing this, Xian fell into deep thought.

If learning Magic Runes counts as learning a language, then the Language Comprehension ability he gained from being the "heir to the kingdom of 1.4 billion citizens" should come into play.

As for drawing Magic Runes... doesn't he also have Absent-mindedness?

Let his fingers move on their own!

1. 4 billion + College Student = ?

Thinking of this, the corners of Xian's mouth slightly turned up.

"Ilith, I need to clarify something with you," Xian said in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Looking at the solemn expression on the black-haired youth's face, Ilith's heart immediately panicked.

It was the first time she had seen Your Highness with such a serious expression. Could it be that something she said had offended Your Highness? Under Ilith's nervous gaze, Xian slowly said, "Not only in meditation, but on the entire path of magic, I will be an unparalleled genius!"

Ilith: "..."

Isn't this Your Highness a bit too arrogant?

Noon.

Bright sunlight shone on the stone steps of the castle. Viscount Hughes stood at the gate with his backpack, and beside him lay the massive Black Abyss Wolf.

"Danielle, I'm leaving. Remember to take good care of His Highness Mingyu in the castle. If His Highness has any requests, agree to them on my behalf."

"Also, I will remember to inform your mother and brother about Little Hayden's infant honor ceremony, and I will ask my comrade Rune to be Little Hayden's godfather."

Karen instructed his wife in front of him.

He was going to ask the Bishop of the Storm Church for a magic potion at Your Highness's request, and also take the opportunity to arrange his young son's infant honor ceremony.

"Okay, darling, safe travels." Danielle hugged Karen and gave him a deep kiss.

"You too, take care of yourself." Karen stroked his wife's long hair and whispered.

Then, he no longer lingered, flipped over and jumped onto the back of the Black Abyss Wolf, and slapped its Wolf Head hard.

"Let's go, Black Tail."

Awooo! The Black Abyss Wolf raised its head and let out a shrill howl, then its four hooves stepped on the ground, and it sped away like an arrow.

"Did he have to choose Bishop Rune to be Little Hayden's godfather..."

Looking at her husband's departing figure, Danielle muttered to herself.

She was originally very satisfied with this choice, after all, the Storm and Hunting Church is now the largest Church in the Sossia Kingdom.

And Rune, as the Bishop of the Storm Church branch in the southern part of the kingdom, is definitely in a high and powerful position.

Let alone being the godfather of her son, he would be more than qualified to be the godfather of the direct son of the Masha Family behind her.

However, now it seems there is a more suitable candidate. Danielle turned her head to look at the location of the castle library, vaguely able to see a figure leaning against the window reading.

"Great God, please let this noble person become the godfather of my young child, even if it means exchanging it for the remaining twenty years of my life!"

For the sake of her child, the woman, who had never believed in gods, put her hands together and prayed with unprecedented piety.

Two days later.

Library.

Xian finally finished learning the basic Magic Runes and hundreds of commonly used Magic Runes, and stretched lazily. Beside him was Ilith, who had long been shocked into numbness.

"I'm trash, I'm an idiot, the teacher has been lying to me..." the girl repeated blankly.

This scene made Xian feel really uneasy.

He felt that no matter how you looked at it, Ilith was definitely a magical genius, but... he had a cheat!

I read comments all day today, and some readers are saying that the plot is a bit bland. My reply is: Starting today, there will be three updates a day to speed up the pace and quickly enter the main storyline. I hope all readers can enjoy reading it. Thanks(ω)
