Return

High above the Yulan Continent, ten thousand miles in the sky.

A giant rat, six or seven meters long, was carrying Olivier and Taylor on its back; this was Bebe.

"Taylor, so even a lad like you knows what fear is."

Olivier laughed. Taylor had never been to such a height before and was feeling somewhat afraid, clutching onto Olivier tightly.

"I am a man, I'm not afraid."

Taylor argued in a small voice.

"Haha, if you're a man, then stop holding onto me."

Olivier laughed.

"Uncle, I'm still small, I haven't grown up yet. If I don't hold onto you and I fall off, what then?"

Taylor glanced at Olivier with an expression that suggested he thought Olivier was quite foolish.

"Taylor, when your father was your age, he already went to the Ernst Institute all by himself."

Bebe said.

"That goes without saying, my father is the most amazing."

Taylor said proudly.

"Then between me, your father, and your Uncle Bebe, who do you think is the most powerful?"

Olivier asked.

"This... my father is the most powerful." Taylor's eyes darted around. Feeling that he shouldn't say Olivier and Bebe weren't powerful, he added, "You and Uncle Bebe are also very powerful."

"My father is a Dragonblood Warrior. When I grow up, I will also become a Dragonblood Warrior and be just as amazing as him."

As for this lad Taylor, who knew how Delia had taught him? In any case, Linley was absolutely the most powerful, and then the Dragonblood Warriors were also very powerful; no one else was as impressive as his own family.

Bebe's speed was incredibly fast, and the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire, a massive city, had already come into view.

According to Olivier's observations and conjectures, Bebe's strength should be even greater than Linley's. It was a true God-Eater Rat, while Linley only possessed the bloodline of a divine beast. Its speed and physical strength surpassed Linley's, and the profound laws it comprehended naturally were no worse than Linley's. However, Bebe had always lived under Linley's wing, so it did not utilize its own strength as effectively as Linley did.

"A divine-level expert is coming. Eh, is that Olivier? I didn't expect him to break through so quickly."

Inside the Magic Tower, Catherine sensed the arrival of a divine-level expert and recognized who it was at a glance.

Upon reaching the imperial capital, Olivier went straight to Catherine's Magic Tower, familiar with the path.

"Catherine, long time no see."

As soon as he arrived, Olivier spotted Catherine, who had clearly detected his arrival.

"Congratulations, Olivier, for breaking through so quickly."

Catherine said.

"Haha, I just broke through by accident."

Olivier said with a hint of smugness.

"Then you truly were quite careless."

So many people struggled in the Saint-level for many years without being able to break through, yet here you are, claiming you did it by accident, Catherine rolled her eyes.

"Bebe, hello there."

Catherine knew Bebe; Lord Beirut had looked after it.

"High Priest, hello."

This was the first time Bebe had met Catherine, and it didn't expect that she would not only know it but also take the initiative to greet it.

However, Catherine only said that one sentence and nothing more. She didn't know that Bebe was a divine beast, a God-Eater Rat, and of the same species as Beirut, otherwise, she would certainly have tried to build a closer relationship.

"Catherine, this little guy is Linley's son, named Taylor. I brought him here to see his uncle." Olivier added, "Taylor, call her Auntie Catherine. If you do, she'll give you some candy later."

"Auntie Catherine, hello, my name is Taylor." Taylor said affectionately.

However, Catherine was clearly startled by this form of address. It had been a very, very long time since anyone had called her that, and she didn't know how to respond.

"Taylor, hello to you too." It took a good while before she came back to her senses.

She was Dixie's teacher, so Taylor should have called her Grandma.

However, she felt that "Auntie" sounded better than "Grandma."

This made Taylor think she didn't like him; children were very sensitive, and the little guy didn't dare to say much more.

"Haha."

Olivier discovered something interesting.

Catherine was a bit unaccustomed to it, even somewhat unsure of how to get along with a child.

Soon, she notified Dixie to come and take Taylor away. Bebe followed along as well, leaving only Olivier and Catherine behind.

"I haven't sensed anyone on the continent becoming a god recently. When exactly did you break through?"

Catherine asked curiously. As long as someone became a god, the divine-level experts on the continent would be able to sense it.

"I just broke through, so I came back to see you immediately; the place where I made my breakthrough is truly magical, I'll take you there when I have the chance, haha."

Olivier teased Catherine.

In the past, he would have felt immense pressure whenever he wanted to tease Catherine, but now that his strength had risen, it came much more naturally.

"Hmph, forget it then." Catherine said with a touch of coldness, appearing vaguely displeased. "I suspect you're actually here to see Sophie and Jessica."

Olivier was a bit confused; they were getting along fine, so why was she suddenly angry? Could she be jealous?

"You are the one I want to see most, but you always wear a mask, refusing to let me see you."

Olivier said with a chuckle, his tone of teasing growing even thicker.

"Hmph, go see them then."

Catherine said coldly, turning around and walking away, leaving behind a beautiful silhouette.

"This woman is truly strange."

Olivier had a vague suspicion; could it be that Catherine had feelings for him?

"Never mind, I'll go find Sophie and Jessica first."

Sophie and Jessica were currently at the largest magic academy in the imperial capital. Even though they had a Saint-level magus to instruct them and didn't strictly need to attend a magic academy, one cannot master magic by closing themselves off; they needed to exchange ideas with others.

Furthermore, they were still young, so attending a magic academy was a decent choice.

Yulan Magic Academy.

It was the best magic academy in the Yulan Empire, and it was not inferior to the Ernst Institute. It had a very long history, having been established almost alongside the Yulan Empire itself.

Its infrastructure, collection of magic books, and teaching foundation were all excellent. However, unlike the Ernst Institute, the learning atmosphere at Yulan Magic Academy was poor. Those studying inside were mostly children of the ancient nobility of the Yulan Empire who were addicted to luxury; there were not many who studied diligently. This was one of the main reasons why George, Dixie, and Delia had traveled such a long distance to attend the Ernst Institute.

For a long time, Yulan Magic Academy had been like a stagnant pool of water, barely producing a ripple.

However, in the last two years, this stagnant pool had indeed seen quite a few waves, all thanks to a pair of sisters, Sophie and Jessica. Not only were the two sisters breathtakingly beautiful, but they had also broken through from fourth-level mages to sixth-level mages in just two years, rising two levels in succession.

This had caused the atmosphere in the academy to improve slightly.

Olivier had never been to a magic academy before, so he walked around the campus out of curiosity. He discovered that the most discussed topics were the two sisters, Sophie and Jessica. At the same time, he learned that the two had actually broken through to the sixth level in two years, which was much better than he had expected. It seemed the sisters' talent was truly excellent; there would certainly be no problem with them becoming Saint-level in the future.

"Two beauties, may I invite you to dinner?"

Sophie and Jessica had just walked out of the library when they heard someone call out.

The two spent most of their time cultivating, and the rest of their time reading books in the library to learn magical knowledge. They knew that if they wanted to be with Olivier, they had to rapidly improve their strength.

"Ah, Master, you've returned."

Usually, many noble youths would try to strike up a conversation, and the sisters were prepared to ignore them and leave, as they found it quite annoying. However, this voice sounded very familiar.

Looking over, it was Olivier.

Olivier opened his arms, looking at the two with a smile.

Sophie and Jessica ran toward him and threw themselves into his embrace.
