Encountering this race again?!

Lide’s gaze hardened, as he looked into Spark’s shocked eyes, he really wanted to dig deep and ask for clarity.

But seeing the curious eyes of about a dozen nobles around him, he kept quiet.

“What beautiful eyes, Mr. Lide, this must be your apprentice, right?”

“She’s such a cute girl…”

“Red eyes? Could it be that she’s of human origin from the remote Storm Sea Domain? I heard human beings from the Storm Sea Domain have naturally red eyes that allow them to see clearly even deep underwater— it’s their talent, just like the Blue-skinned people can withstand the cold…”

The people around weren’t shocked by Isa’s red eyes. These nobles were experienced and worldly figures, not like the commoners who would think someone was a demon or some other evil race just because of a pair of red eyes.

Besides, what if she was a demon?

Not all demonic beings were completely worthless; the enticing Enchanting Demons had captivated many nobles.

Some in attendance had even whipped those seductive Enchanting Demons. It was so demonic indeed, their waists would still ache days later.

Isa’s initially worried gaze grew gradually more confident under the gaze of the people around.

Not everyone thought she was a monster after all.

Spark said no more but took a deep look at Isa then spoke to Lide,

“Kachar, come in with me. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for your hospitality, we shall meet again soon.”

Hearing such clear goodbye, a group of nobles quickly made their courteous departures, several of whom took special care to bid farewell to Lide.

After the group of nobles had left in their carriages, Spark’s demeanor changed, grinning broadly at Isa and said,

“Your name is Isa? Such a melodious name. I am your teacher’s mentor—Spark, you can call me Grandpa Spark.”

Isa could feel the kindness in Spark’s heart at that moment, and her initial wariness somewhat abated.

Looking at Lide for approval and receiving a nod, she softly called out in her unique tone,

“Grandpa Spark.”

Hearing this title, Spark’s old face almost burst into laughter.

“Ah, such a good girl.”

Saying this, he led the two toward the White Tower.

Lide’s purpose today was to resolve the issue of lacking magic materials in the Mage Tower of Dawn City, but he didn’t expect that Spark might know Isa’s heritage, giving him a sense of unexpected gain.

The Golden Bloodline was too mysterious; hardly anyone knew about it.

Lide had also sent Laurent to investigate Isa’s origins but had found very little useful information. Isa’s adoptive mother said Isa was found by her on the way home thirteen years ago.

Back then, Isa’s eyes hadn’t yet turned crimson; the change occurred when Isa was ten.

As for where she was found, her adoptive mother had long forgotten.

The world was all too familiar with the abandonment of baby girls, especially during the Frost Month—families lacking food, and several frozen infants would appear on the streets every day.

It was cruel and unavoidable.

“Teacher, do you know Isa’s background?”

After entering the White Tower, Lide couldn’t wait to ask.

Isa was too important, her potential was comparable to that of a giant dragon.

It was as if Lide now had a young dragon; if he raised it well, the gains would be astronomical.

“No, I do not know.”

“Then…”

“Young man, I honestly do not know. However, I can tell you that thirty years ago in the eastern part of the Glory Plane, in the Storm Sea Domain, I met humans with red eyes.”

Spark spoke with an inexplicable sense of emotion.

“At that time, I hadn’t yet broken through to become a Great Mage. That was the most powerful human I had ever encountered, bar none.”

“Perhaps you could call them the ‘Dragon Hunter’!”

“Because the lady with red eyes had hunted down two giant dragons of Extraordinary Rank in the Storm Sea Domain.”

“Yes, you heard me right, it’s hunting!

The giant dragon, high above, was hunted by a lady like a beast, using a spell that even dragon scales immune to Four Circle Magic could not resist.

I still have a deep impression of those crimson eyes, exactly like Isa’s.”

“I’m sure they are of the same race.”

After hearing this, Lide was also somewhat shocked.

The Glory World has many planes, but on any of these planes, giant dragons are creatures at the pinnacle, a synonym for power that even the Divine fear.

A human who could hunt two giant dragons, both of extraordinary rank, possessed a terrifying strength that anyone could recognize.

The Golden Bloodline, truly, as described on Isa’s attribute panel, was an existence that could shock the Divine.

He turned and looked at the somewhat bewildered little girl beside him, his eyes filled with expectations, to raise such a little loli into a being capable of hunting giant dragons.

Just thinking about it felt exciting.

Isa, listening by his side, didn’t speak, but Spark’s words left deep traces in the girl’s heart.

Long ago, people of her race with red eyes could be so powerful that they could hunt giant dragons.

In human legends, there are always creatures like giant dragons, so Isa, though not very experienced, also understood the strength of dragons.

In her ruby-like eyes, a strong longing quietly arose.

She too hoped to become such a powerful existence.

By then, she could… Thinking of this, Isa, blushing, shyly glanced at Lide, her eyes filled with expectation.

“Do you know where she came from?”

Spark shook his head regretfully.

“Back then, I was too weak to have dealings with such a powerful lady. Perhaps that lady has now entered the Legendary rank.

Perhaps when you two grow stronger, you can head to the Storm Sea Domain to gather information—the place is called Storm Cape.”

Lide was somewhat disappointed, but not too disheartened, as gaining even a little information from Spark was already an unexpected joy.

He silently memorized the name of the place, hoping that one day he might have a chance to visit.

After chatting a bit more about his past experiences, Spark shifted his gaze to Isa.

“Isa, would you like to come here to study magic with Grandpa Spark?”

“Grandpa Spark is a Great Mage, much more powerful than your current teacher…”

Hearing this, Lide couldn’t help but smile wryly. The old man really was shameless, openly trying to poach her.

“No, Grandpa Spark, I want to stay with my teacher.”

Isa did not waver and shook her head firmly.

“Alright, this is my disciple. You’d better forget about it,” Lide said irritably to Spark. However, his tone changed immediately.

“However, I will probably need to spend quite some time rebuilding our family town in the future. If you have time then, Grandpa, I might let Isa study with you temporarily.”

The thought of how many good things a Great Mage would have made Lide rather eager.@@novelbin@@

Using a Great Mage’s help to train Isa seemed too good an opportunity to miss.

“Teacher~” Isa’s timid expression showed her reluctance; she didn’t want to be away from Lide.

Lide patted the girl’s head.

“There, when I’m frequently out and not at home, Grandpa Spark will teach you magic. Don’t you want to become stronger, Isa?

As soon as I return, I’ll take you back. Isa will always be my Isa; your teacher will never abandon you.”

Isa leaving the Crimson Mage Tower was absolutely impossible; he would not worry about that.

After receiving Lide’s repeated assurances, Isa finally put her heart at ease.

Her crimson eyes turned towards Spark and she whispered softly, “Grandpa Spark, Isa is willing to study magic with you.”

“Ah, Isa is a good girl.”

Hearing her acceptance, the previously somewhat displeased Spark’s heart nearly melted as he grinned broadly, for an old man has no resistance against a well-behaved child.
