"Then hurry up and make breakfast, I'm not sleepy anymore."
"There's no rush yet."
Shichen lifted Frilian up like a child, sat on the edge of the bed, and placed her on his lap.
"..." Frilian had her back to him, her face expressionless. She naturally knew what he was going to do.
Shi Chen stroked Frilian's smooth silver hair, then reached out and retrieved the hair tie and comb from the table by the wall.
Do you want a single ponytail or twin ponytails?
"Whatever you like..." Frillie remained motionless as he combed his hair.
"Don't be so casual, this is your own hair."
"I like to leave it like this."
"That won't do, let's stick with pigtails."
"..."
It took Shichen ten minutes to tie Frillie's hair into pigtails, and then she happily went to make breakfast.
Frillie wasn't sleepy anymore, and still wasn't used to wearing pigtails, so she went to check the time to make breakfast.
Since it was uncertain when Vlame would return, the two of them didn't wait for her and started eating breakfast as soon as they had prepared it.
Breakfast for two was a little quiet, but not bad.
After breakfast, Shichen stopped mindlessly washing the dishes by hand and simply used magic to solve the problem.
Frilian still focused on cultivating magic. When he had nothing to do, he would stay by her side and watch her cultivate. He wasn't bored. When she finished cultivating, he would ask her to teach him magic.
Unfortunately, magic in this world relies on imagination. Since magic cannot be improved, there is no point in tinkering with it, and it cannot be used to pass the time.
The uneventful day ended quickly, and Vlame did not return by evening, but Shichen and Frilian were not worried about her.
Vlame often stayed out all night.
The two remained the same the next day, but Vlame still hadn't returned by nightfall.
However, on the third night, Vlame returned and immediately said something that made Shichen look forward to it for three days.
"Let's set off to see my master tomorrow."
Shichen had been looking forward to meeting that arrogant elf for a long time, but Frilian was a little reluctant.
The journey was a bit far, and she found it too troublesome.
However, her opinion was of no use. The next day, Shichen and Vulamei set off with her while she was sleeping.
When she woke up, they had already been on the road for quite some time. If the road hadn't been so bumpy, she probably would have slept a little longer.
Frillie has a rather submissive personality; after waking up and understanding the situation, she can only accept it.
Shi Chen chuckled and lifted her onto his lap, starting to tie her hair into pigtails. Then, feigning ignorance, he asked Fulame, "Master, what kind of person is your master?"
“Master, she…” A smile of admiration appeared on Vlame’s face: “She was a great mage born in the age of mythology, the mage closest to the omniscient and omnipotent goddess. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a magic book that encompassed almost all of humanity’s magic.”
"That's amazing?" Shi Chen said, feigning surprise.
Frilian looked at her too; she was intrigued as well.
"Hehe~ Master has countless spells, you two might be able to get her to teach you a rare spell sometime."
"Just one? Grandmaster is too stingy!" Shi Chen couldn't help but say.
Have you forgotten what I said about contentment bringing happiness?
"Ok."
“Frilian, your master should be interested in you; you two are both elves.” Vlame looked at Frilian.
"Oh." Frilian sat on Shichen's lap and nodded lightly.
"What? Not interested?"
"good."
"Haha~ You're just like me."
"Master, what about me? Would Grandmaster be interested in me?" Shi Chen asked.
“Your words…” Vlamed paused, then laughed, “My master might want to spar with you.”
Chapter 96 Celia
Seven days later, Shichen and his companions finally arrived at their destination.
It would normally take about four days to get there, but Vlamé wasn't in a hurry to arrive so early; she was very interested in the scenery along the way.
She hadn't seen her master for a long time, and the scenery along the way had changed so much that she couldn't bear to miss it.
Shichen also wanted to spend more time with the two of them, and didn't care about the occasion, so it didn't matter.
Frillie, on the other hand, kept complaining the whole way, wanting to get to her destination quickly so she could lie down and die. She had never walked like this before, spending most of the day each day, and it was too tiring for her.
Unfortunately, Shichen and Vulamei completely ignored her.
If Shichen hadn't carried her for a while, she probably would have really lay down on the spot and refused to move.
"Is this where our master lives?" Shi Chen asked curiously, carrying Frilian on his back and looking at the stone-built cave entrance in front of him.
The entrance to the cave was unremarkable, lacking any sense of mystery or atmosphere, and there were no protective measures in place.
However, inside the cave, Shichen sensed a tremendous magical power.
This magic is no less than that of the Fourth Ancestor.
“Master doesn’t care about other people, and with her here, nothing else matters,” Vlame explained with a smile.
"Too."
In this world, magic is an extremely convenient thing. If you know all kinds of magic, you basically have nothing to lack.
“Let’s go in.” Vlame led the way into the cave.
"Frilian, wake up, it's time to see the Grandmaster." Shichen bounced Frilian behind him.
"Hmm..." Frillian opened her eyes groggily, then closed them again.
Shi Chen smiled and shook his head, then followed Fulame.
Frillie wasn't heavy, not even as heavy as the schoolbag he used to carry in junior high. And with her thin arms and legs, the cool fabric felt quite comfortable around his neck and on either side of his waist.
Stepping into the cave, you'll find a completely different world inside. Unlike the pitch-black entrance, the inside is exceptionally bright and spacious, resembling a palace.
The ground is made of stone slabs, surrounded by stone walls and stone pillars, much like Shichen's imagination of the ruins.
Shi Chen thought of the final boss's room in the game, where you enter the final level. In a sense, Celia is indeed the final boss.
Not long after following Vlame, Shichen could see the end in the distance, where there were mountains of books, all of them magic books.
Before the mountain of magic books, there was a damaged stone seat, and on the seat sat a petite girl.
She has striking, brilliant blonde hair, long, pointed ears, and like Frilian, she is an elf.
However, compared to her elfin appearance, the arrogant smile on her delicate face is even more captivating.
Her posture was equally arrogant; she wore a coat, one leg crossed, one hand on her knee, and her chin propped up, watching Shi Chen and the others arrive with unrestrained disdain.
Lazy yet domineering, just like a demon king.
She is the pinnacle of magic, a great magician who has lived from the age of mythology to the present, and the elf closest to the omniscient and omnipotent goddess, Celia.
Vlame was the first to reach the steps. She knelt on one knee and respectfully whispered, "Master."
“Volamey.” Celia’s expression remained unchanged as she looked at Volamey with a cold smile.
At this moment, Shichen carried Frilian to Vlame's side. He glanced at her, thought for a moment, and still did not kneel down like her.
Vlame didn't say anything.
"What's going on with these two? Are they your apprentices?" Celia asked, staring intently at Shi Chen.
"Yes."
"Hehe, time really flies. The disciple I took on on a whim back then has now brought his grand-disciple here."
Celia rose from her stone seat, barefoot, and slowly approached the hour. She glanced at Frilian, who was on his back.
"Oh, elves, of my kind."
“Master, his name is Shichen, and the one Shichen is carrying is called Frilian.”
"It's really good."
Celia didn't look at Frilian much, but instead stared at Shichen with a wild smile, her golden eyes seemingly filled with fighting spirit.
The timing was indeed felt; this time, Vlame's prediction was right.
That's understandable, though. Celie is pursuing her rival, and he hasn't hidden his magic power. It's no wonder she's not motivated to fight him.
But compared to her rising fighting spirit, Shi Chen was more concerned about something else: just now, the "she" in her mind spoke.
[Target discovered for hosting a divine fragment!]
[Target: Celia.]
[Quest: Engage with her, defeat her, and conquer her to collect the Divine Shard.]
It's one thing that Celia has fragments of divine power, but the mission she's given is something else entirely.
What does it mean to conquer her?
Did you read my mind?
Why doesn't Master have any fragments of divine power?
You look down on her, don't you?
"Grandmaster." Shi Chen ignored Celie's fighting spirit and called out softly.
"Heh~" Celia sneered as she attacked, then asked Volame, "Volame, where did you find this guy?"
“Master, we met by chance,” Vlame stood up and said with a gentle smile.
