Grant Family
The border war between the Lisia Alliance and its neighboring countries ended more than two years ago.
And there seems to be no sign of war resuming in the short term.
Many nearby human kingdoms are in this state of celebration and rest.
Saine speculated that this might be related to the fact that Knight of level one or above from the surrounding countries had all returned to their own plane.
When Saine arrived outside Grant Castle, his powerful Mental Strength Formal Magician allowed Saine to immediately detect the presence of three powerful beings with strength at least at level one inside the Grant Castle.
At the same time, Saine did not conceal the fluctuations of his power as Formal Magician.
Before long, a seven-meter-tall magical lion with wings on its back, a single horn on its forehead, and a body size appeared in front of Saine.
"Unfamiliar Formal Magician, this is the territory of the Grant Family, what brings you here..." the lion spoke in human language.
Before Saine could answer, the lion stopped asking questions.
It sniffed the air, a hint of surprise appearing on its human-like lion face, and said, "Wait, you have the Bloodline of the Grant Family on you?"
"Yes, I am Saine Grant," Saine said in a deep voice.
The large magical lion did not cause much panic among the residents of the territory below after it appeared in the sky.
It seems that the residents of Grant Territory are already used to seeing this lion?
Saine's answer silenced the lion for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the lion shouted down at the Earl's Castle in an unusually exaggerated tone, "Stark! Come out quickly, your great-great-great-great-great-grandson is back, and he's a Level-1 Magician!"
The exaggerated behavior of this magical lion made Saine's lips twitch slightly.
However, what caught Saine's attention more was the Power Aura this magical lion possessed, far exceeding his own.
This is a Super Magical Beast with a Level-2 Lifeform form!
Inside Grant Castle.
The atmosphere inside the castle was rather awkward and silent at this moment.
Saine stood at the entrance to the castle hall, with Owl Little Qi and his Cousin Serena beside him.
Cousin Serena was clearly not comfortable in this environment, and her demeanor was somewhat awkward and shy.
Owl Little Qi inherited Saine's usual indifferent and calm demeanor.
However, upon closer inspection, one of Little Seven's tail feathers will be trembling.
Because the magical lion that had also flown back to the castle was lying lazily on the cushion, its pair of deep blue, jewel-like eyes glancing at Little Seven from time to time, seemingly quite interested in the little creature.
In contrast to Saine and his group were four men who remained silent in the castle hall.
Saine did not recognize two of the men sitting in the main seats.
The person who gave Saine the strongest feeling had rare blue hair.
The Super Magical Beast lion was lying lazily at his feet.
Another man with blond hair exuded the Power Aura of Level 1 Knight.
Judging from his physical features, Earl Grant bears a slight resemblance to this man.
Of course, this also means that Saine is somewhat similar to his opponent.
However, they are separated by a generation in blood, and apart from the blonde hair, the similarities in other aspects are not obvious.
Besides these two unfamiliar men whose Life Level was above level one, the other two people in the hall were Earl Grant, Saine's father, and his brother Solon.
Solon should be 31 years old this year, and he has grown a beard like Earl Grant.
Judging from his appearance alone, he actually looks more mature than Saine.
Since Saine has been promoted to Formal Magician, his physique has long since returned to its peak at nearly forty years old.
Furthermore, due to the nourishment from the Light of the Planes, some subtle changes are taking place within Saine's body.
Of the several direct male members of the Grant Family present, Saine appeared to be the youngest.
Furthermore, unlike Earl Grant and others, who exuded the ruggedness and power characteristic of Knight.
Saine's temperament leans towards calmness and erudition.
This made Saine stand out somewhat in the Earl's mansion hall.
"Hey, Saine, didn't you write back a few years ago saying you'd just broken through to become Quasi-Magician?"
"How come now..." Earl Grant broke the silence first.
When asked by his father, Saine replied, "I completed my breakthrough after participating in the Regional Holy Tower Academy War."
"And my current mentor is Master Luluman, the tower master of the Azure Source Holy Tower," Saine said, making a startling statement.
Earl Grant might not know the details of the Regional Holy Tower Academy War, but the two Old Ancestor of the Grant Family beside him certainly did.
However, most of the people present were shocked by the second half of Saine's sentence.
Even the blue-haired man who had initially looked at Saine with admiration now looked astonished and incredulous.
The atmosphere in the castle hall fell silent once again.
Finally, the first to break the silence was the Super Magical Beast lion.
"The Holy Tower Master is your master? Damn it!" the magical lion roared.
The roar of the magical lion finally brought the people in the hall back to their senses.
The blue-haired man nodded and said, "With a great Holy Tower Master as his master, it's no wonder that he was able to advance to the Level-1 Magician in just a few years."
This blue-haired man clearly attributed Saine's advancement to Level-1 Magician entirely to his mentor Luluman.
Saine did not offer much explanation for this.
Another blond man nodded approvingly, "Excellent! Now our Grant Family has three beings at level one or higher. Congratulations!"
"If Kellman also breaks through to the first level in the future, there will be four!" the blond man said with a smile.
Kellman is the name of Saine's father, Earl Grant, but he is rarely addressed by that name.
"It seems we can hold a grand banquet tonight. Come, Saine, let me introduce you to your two grandfathers," Earl Grant said with a smile.
Regardless, his father is extremely proud of Saine's success.
As for the fact that Saine's strength and Life Level had surpassed his own, Earl Grant didn't care much.
According to Earl Grant, the blue-haired man was Ulysses Grant, the founder of the Grant Family, and a powerful Level-2 Earth Knight.
That Super Magical Beast lion was his mount.
The lion's name is Simpson, given to him by Ulysses. The two have been partners who have fought side by side for thousands of years.
The other blond man was Earl Grant's great-grandfather.
In other words, the other party is the fourth generation of Saine, named Jeremy Grant, who is a Level 1 Knight.
The two families' Old Ancestor, Jeremy Grant, who was clearly Level 1 Knight, were closer to Earl Grant.
It seems that Earl Grant was personally taught Battle Qi by the other party when he was young.
According to Earl Grant, there was actually a Level 1 Knight in the Grant Family's ancestry.
However, the other party was unfortunate enough to fall in a certain Plane War, which is a permanent pain for the Grant Family.
