Previous story:
Eva returned to her mansion. Duke was already waiting for him to return and scolded him on the spot. He visited the capital with a magic circle placed in the workspace.
But his mother stopped him. Her mother also brought her little sister who made Eva's soul turbulent because she couldn't resist the baby's timidity. Even Rexus was very curious about his sister, Evan.
***
"Didn't you think of me as food?" I said pout. Does he pretend to forget that he absorbs my mana every day?
"Ehem, it's different ~" Rexus instantly turned his body and whistled.
I have absolutely no idea why Rexus thinks my smell is so good. But I don't think of Rexus's talk and just think of it as the last wind.
I looked back at the little baby in my arms, even forgetting that my father and mother were staring at my back sharply out of curiosity at Rexus' presence.
"What's that?" Diana asked first while stabbing Rexus with her index finger.
I'm actually confused as to how to explain Rexus' existence. But I kept telling them the truth of how I found Rexus.
I said heroically that Rexus is a dragon I found from the ruins of the Magic City. I also told my experience of a golden egg hatching into a little Rexus. And Rexus' ability to communicate with me. Rexus is a baby now, so we can only talk telepathically. But Rexus will be able to speak human language when he gets older.
Duke Court and Diana heard their daughter's story with their heads twitching. Of course they did not believe that Rexus was a dragon. They nodded slowly as Eva spoke as if they believed. But in their hearts they thought that Eva's story was just her fantasy.
"Alright~" Diana said understandingly as she rubbed Eva's head. "So this little thing is a ya~ magical beast" he said as he stroked Rexus' face. Rexus enjoyed the caress like a little cat.
"Obviously it's just a little lizard" Duke Court quipped as he observed the magical beast in that cute voice.
"Pi pi pi!" Rexus began to turn to Duke Court to express his protest. As usual, the phrase is "I'm not a lizard!"
"Don't listen to that old man little Rexus ~" Diana said as she carried Rexus in her arms. Diana received Rexus affectionately in just the blink of an eye.
"Pi~" said Rexus gladly.
Eva heard translation : Of course ~
The four happy family members did not know that someone was watching them from behind the wall by sticking out their heads. Who else if not Fram. The elf boy was curious about Rexus' strange presence and began to watch silently.
Although not a silent supervision also because Wiya realized the presence of the child and smiled at his hiding behavior shyly. In Wiya's mind, the boy was embarrassed to show himself due to the presence of the Duke and his wife.
Rexus was also aware that there was a strong presence watching him. He immediately looked at Fram who was behind the wall and their eyes met.
Rexus doesn't know why. He knew the boy was not human. But there was also a strange and familiar feeling in his body. With curious eyes he approached Fram. Wonder what that creature is.
Just as Eva wanted to step away, Duke Court realized her. "Where are you going? We haven't talked about his sentence" he said sharply. He did not give up on punishing Eva for admission to intensive discipline classes.
"Honey~" Diana's soft and sharp voice drifted. "Eva will rest in her room. He just came back, don't make it hard. Didn't I tell you to prepare Evan's bath water? Why are you suddenly sitting here casually?"
Duke Court was silent.
SYUUU~ quickly he died in the living room to carry out his wife's orders.
I just looked at my stupid father with eyes of pity.
I finally saw my room after a long time. I want to sort through all the items in my lens room because I got a lot of treasures in the Magic Domain. I really can't wait to sort them all out.
I opened my lens room. The dimensional space that was originally roomy, looked full of stuff now. I took it out and the pile of stuff filled my room.
There are about hundreds of treasures I got from the ruins. There were potions, artifacts and magic weapons.all of them were mixed in one pile.
I separated the pile into three, according to their types. After being separated it turned out that the pile of potion bottles was larger than the others.
Okay, first of all I'll sort the ingredients first. I combined all the herbs I had in that pile of potions, except for the illusion potions and the extremely precious resurrection potions.
"Eh? What'sthis?" I also found a potion that I had long forgotten in the corner of the dimensional space. The potion I obtained from a grandmother in the Magic Tower. A potion to make people fall in love with you. I didn't expect to keep that silly potion all this time.
But I kept separating the potion from the other potions. Who knows, it will be worth it later. The effect is very unique.
Then I began to separate the pile of potions into two halves. Some of the precious herbs I stored back inside the dimensional space. While other herbs will be in stock for Rexus food.
After that I saw a pile of artifacts. I took out all the artifacts except those trophy artifacts. Then separate it into two parts. Valuable artifacts I will store in dimensional space. In addition to personal use, I will give this artifact as a gift to my friends as well. I remember Vivian and Lilac. The rest I'll exchange for potions for Rexus' food stock. I did the same thing with all those magic weapons.
I shook my head weakly looking at the pile of items I was about to exchange for potions. Raising Rexus is not easy. You should have enough money to feed him. Moreover, he is very greedy. Even though he doesn't eat very often. If he is full, he can not eat for three days.
I saw the magic weapon I was going to use. I replaced the old magic weapon on my waist, a small dagger, with a small blade-shaped magic weapon. My new weapon is smaller than before, but its power is also greater.
Don't underestimate this little knife. Although small in shape, it can split a shophouse in one slash. And you haven't counted the deadly poison in the blade. This knife is really important as a self-defense tool, considering that I often face unexpected dangers.
Then as for the artifacts, I chose some inconspicuous ones. I found a bracelet artifact that can release the defense shield for ten minutes. Then the necklace artifact that can increase physical strength. As well as small earrings that can accelerate the power of flying. The jewelry artifacts I use look inconspicuous when compared to all the jewelry of noble women. So I guess it's fine to wear it.
I also found a strange leather shoe that could strengthen the strength of the foot. Although I could not wear it because it looked like a shabby hunting shoe, it was no less suitable to be used in conjunction with a noble dress or academy uniform. But I can wear it if I want to adventure or go out. Like going on a mission or going hunting.
Alright, I guess the preparations for getting stronger are complete now. Then I just need to meditate with that artifact. I also need to practice to strengthen my mana.
Practicing a lot of high-level magic will be useless if you don't strengthen your mana. You're just wasting mana when you use it. I felt it when fighting a more experienced and powerful enemy. The high-level magic I cast could not hurt the enemy because its mana power was so low.
