Eye Contact

I thought Nicolas Flamel's students would be completely absorbed in Alchemy.

As with the previous reminders, Phoebe spoke in English, with a noticeable French accent, making her voice sound somewhat hoarse.

Upon hearing Phoebe's words, Lucien's first thought was, "Is this girl looking for trouble?"

Didn't I kindly remind you before, to avoid being "accidentally" harmed by the Abraxan?

He activated his Eye of Magic Sight to enhance his vision, and shallow vortexes appeared in his dark green eyes. He noticed that Phoebe had a very serious expression on her face again, and her eyes revealed sincerity, as if she had really just asked a simple question.

Well, they probably weren't seriously nitpicking.

Lucien remembered that Professor Nicolas had mentioned before that if he hadn't met Lucien, he might have taken Phoebe as a student...

Having roughly guessed what Phoebe was thinking, Lucien spoke up:

"Fortunately, I'm quite good at learning, and I have some talent in many areas."

Lucien spoke French, but his pronunciation was perfect and his enunciation fluent, so much so that Phoebe couldn't find any fault with it.

However, this straightforward answer still surprised Phoebe. She was a proud person and usually acted frankly.

But it seems rare to see someone like Lucien who openly admits to having great talent.

Since the other person also spoke French, and so well at that, Phoebe switched back to her mother tongue and softly said:

"I'm just curious, what kind of genius could possibly gain Nicolas Flamel's approval?"

Phoebe moved lightly, stepping through the white snow as she walked towards Lucien.

As he got closer, that stunningly beautiful face became clearer in Lucien's eyes. Her faint silver light reflected off the white snow, making his heart race once again.

Lucien knew perfectly well that it was the Veela blood flowing through Phoebe's veins that was at work.

Veela are intelligent humanoid Magical Creatures with stunning beauty. Their skin always glows with a soft, moonlit silver light, and their long hair flows gracefully even without wind.

For men, Veela possesses an irresistible charm, enough to drive them to obsession.

However, when Veela is angry, she transforms into a terrifying bird-like form, with a bird's head, scale-covered wings growing from her shoulders, and the ability to breathe fireballs to attack enemies.

Phoebe is a Half-Veela, but she only has one-quarter Veela blood, which comes from her mother.

It's clear that Phoebe inherited Veela's beauty and charm.

Lucien lowered his eyes in thought. Besides these outward appearances, did Phoebe possess any other special qualities?

For example, could it transform into a bird-headed form like a Pure-blood Veela?

Is it possible to use some magic unique to the Veela race?

As Lucien was pondering, a pair of deep blue eyes suddenly met his gaze, their hidden silver light possessing a captivating charm.

Staring into Phoebe's eyes at close range even caused Lucien's thoughts to pause for a moment.

He was very uncomfortable with and disliked this feeling of stopping thinking.

The magic surged and expanded almost subconsciously, and the black vortex in his pupils instantly expanded, becoming incredibly deep.

However, after being fused and modified with the Basilisk Eye, Lucien's Eye of Magic Sight has become able to cause creatures that look at it to become stunned.

At this moment, Phoebe had the privilege of becoming the first human to look directly into those eyes.

Unlike the biting cold brought by the surrounding wind and snow, Phoebe felt a chill that reached her soul, spreading and corroding from her eyes, making both her body and soul stiff.
