You are all my wings...

Leon raised an eyebrow. He had just finished reading it and hadn't even made a move yet, and she immediately asked him if he had finished reading it. Her observation skills were something else.

It's safe to say that he's the most intelligent character to appear in the four-part series.

"I've finished reading it. I have no reason to refuse Miss Langley's request. I happen to have some free time today, so let's go."

As soon as the words were spoken, the panel displayed the information.

Wow, Terena actually started with a double S++ plot weight and endowment, even though she was only active in the third part for a few years before dying quickly.

Leon thought that the influence of the new magic was too great, which is why Terena, even though she didn't live long, still had a very high weight in the plot. It wasn't that she had a lot of screen time, but that she had a great influence.

In addition, Terena was born with such high mental strength, second only to herself, which shows that she is indeed exceptionally talented.

Unfortunately, she lacked magical talent and was forced to embark on the path of new-style magic.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. Leon went home, told Bisquie what to do, changed into a slightly more formal suit, and then closed the door.

Terena followed.

She had short legs and needed to walk very fast to keep up with Leon, but she didn't say anything coy like "wait for me" and just kept following him.

Leon didn't deliberately slow his pace to wait for her, because he knew that although Terena was autistic, she also had a strong-willed side.

I deliberately waited for her, but she thought I wasn't good enough.

In short, Terena is a very awkward person now, and even Leon doubts whether she has any emotional awareness at all.

As we entered Colt Street, the autumn wind brought a chill and withered leaves. The sun cast a faint glow on the horizon, while the street remained dimly lit.

There were hardly any pedestrians at this time; it was quite quiet.

Leon never spoke to Terena.

There was no praise, like, "Wow, you're amazing! You went to your grandfather's library all by yourself so early to study."

Without any concern, I asked, "Aren't you afraid something might happen to you, such a young child coming to see me all by yourself?"

We walked quietly, bypassing the next street, and arrived at Kailong's mansion.

That's right, Kailong's mansion is not far away.

Lyon rented a place nearby specifically for this day.

Leon remained silent until he safely entered the separate library in the mansion's annex, having passed through her face and letters.

What's interesting is that Therena didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him either. They completed the bloodline verification for the library without saying a word and entered.

It wasn't until Leon had flipped through several intermediate magic books and found an advanced fire magic book—

"You're a fourth-order mage?"

Six hours have passed since they left Lyon's house, and both sides have been silent for a long time in the library.

It was midday, and Terena, as if she couldn't hold back any longer, finally spoke.

His youthful voice carried a feigned composure and indifference.

Lyon smiled slightly; the little girl had indeed taken the bait.

No matter how intelligent you are, your lack of experience is your biggest problem.

He didn't answer, glanced at Terena, and calmly continued flipping through the advanced magic book in his hand.

Chapter 241 You Want to Come into My House? My Mother Isn't Here

When Terenas saw that Leon did not answer, she gritted her teeth slightly, then regained her cool and calm demeanor and continued reading.

Half an hour later, the maid brought the food.

It's made with mashed potatoes and stewed meat sauce.

Terena spoke again, her voice even colder than before:

"Do you want to eat?"

Her position was on a long table in the corner of the library, away from the books, which was a special dining table, clearly showing signs of daily cleaning by maids.

Leon glanced at Terena's small figure from afar, took out his own fifth-tier powerful monster jerky, gestured briefly, and then bit into it.

Terena lowered her head and began to eat.

Lyon continued to harass her, saying she was pseudo-autistic, not born autistic.

There is definitely a desire to speak.

To encourage someone's desire to talk, you don't necessarily have to talk to them a lot.

You can stand in front of her without saying a word, allowing her to build up the emotional energy to speak.

Just like when someone with social anxiety has to talk to a stranger for some reason, they will inevitably go through a lot of internal struggle.

This struggle could be internal strife, or it could be the emotional energy that allows her to speak out.

If you talk too much, the other person is more likely to get tired quickly.

According to Leon's judgment, Terena has inadvertently offended many people due to her extremely high intelligence. Coupled with the rumors about her mother, she has seen countless subtle expressions of disgust and aversion.

Because of her high intelligence, she has excellent observation skills and can easily judge countless subtle changes in how others treat her.

But because of low emotional intelligence, they can't understand why their words hurt others.

Because of her confusion and the frequent absence of elders like Langley and Kairon, she chose to speak less.

This was Leon's judgment, but whether it was true or not was uncertain, because the Terena he knew in his previous life was an adult who had undergone some changes.

But judging from Terena's current performance, it seems to be in line with her own judgment.

So Leon continued eating monster meat while reading magic books.

This library has a truly vast collection of magic books; just one floor alone contains many that are clearly from schools of magic other than those used by humans.

It's no wonder that Kairon has so many high-quality spells, just like the cheap, low-quality spells that are commonplace.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours had passed. The magic books he had quickly flipped through contained intermediate fire magic, intermediate earth magic, intermediate water magic, intermediate wind magic, and earth and fire magic porcelain doll.

The Calamity Fire was the most suitable magic he chose based on the two fire-type properties he currently possessed: [Intense Melting] and [Gathering Heat Erosion].

It is derived from the mythical imagery of 'a drought that plunges the world into hell'.

Compared to purely physical magic, this type of ancient magic, which originates from mythology, is more suitable for matching the characteristics of powerful monsters.

If the Hurricane Bomb can achieve 50% of these two characteristics, then the fire damage will be 99%.

As for other magic, since he hasn't mastered the characteristics of other magic types yet, he only picked magic that could improve combat balance and convenience.

Earth-based steel walls and earth- and fire-based porcelain dolls are the magic of the dwarves, which are more hardcore and emphasize the manipulation of matter.

Water-based floods are a type of magic used by the orc subspecies, the merfolk.

Fortunately, the ice-cold unicorn in his hand also contained this magical imagery, which he could refer to.

He learned the intermediate-level Gale Wind technique because he had previously experienced the Gale Wind technique from Mshifisu and had a deep understanding of it. He also intended to learn more about it, as it was a type of magic that evolved from the combat techniques of halflings.

These other schools of magic complement his magic system, allowing for a wider range of applications.

For advanced magic, he prioritizes Hurricane Cannon, an upgraded version of Hurricane Bullet, a mainstream human spell, which will appropriately reduce the difficulty of learning it.

He memorized the spellcasting process and chanting lyrics for these spells.

As for magical imagery, the magical imagery of intermediate magic is quite complex, and he only roughly familiarized himself with it once.

After all, just reading about it doesn't mean you can quickly learn all these magical imagery.

To replicate it into one's mind and form a 50% representation of the image that can be used to cast spells, it requires at least a period of continuous learning and meditation practice.

The magical imagery of advanced magic is more complex, and even with a perfect or intermediate level foundation, mastering it quickly is not an easy task.

He plans to go find Iris or Machiru to stack buffs before his next trip here.

This will be much more efficient.

Once you've learned about 50% of these techniques and tested the pseudo-intermediate combination process, go to the sacred mural in one go to accelerate your progress (because you need to reach 50% to get a resonance response).

Therefore, before the new action plan is released, he will most likely come here every day to learn magic.

It just so happens that Therena is also here, so I can take the opportunity to win her over as well, which is a win-win situation.

Of course, he would never prey on underage children; that's a matter of principle.

The current strategy mainly involves building up her image and basic favorability, then trying to resolve her problems and see if Terena can discover the wonderful secrets hidden in the mechanical magic ahead of time.

Just as Lyon was slowly taking stock of his gains for the day, Terena spoke up again.

She had been standing on a chair, but she climbed down first and walked to a spot not far from Leon before she spoke seriously.

"I'm leaving. Are you leaving too?"

"Let's go."

Lyon nodded. More than fourteen hours had passed since their first conversation, and this was the first time he had responded to Terena.

Staying up from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. would have made other kids restless.

Terenas still had the patience to read through the magic books one by one, and only spoke to Leon three times. She was indeed an eccentric genius.

The two stepped out of the library, and the maid closed the door.

Once outside the library, darkness descended, and lights flickered dimly everywhere.

From the main house, the sounds of children playing and laughing could be heard, along with the loving yet stern voices of adults scolding. At some distance, the sounds were muffled, as if filtered through a screen.

The passageway in front of the villa was quiet, with only the soft rustling of the wind through the grass.

There was no one else beside him except for a stern-faced middle-aged maid carrying an oil lamp.

Lyon accompanied her on this visit, but no one came to greet her, which only shows that Terena is not valued by the family.

Despite being an exceptionally intelligent individual, this magical family deemed him to have no future simply because he lacked magical talent.

Fortunately, Kairon did not refuse her entry to browse the magic book.

If we had refused, the world might have entered its final days prematurely.

What are you looking at?

Terena spoke again, this time her voice was still cold, but with a hint of liveliness.

"Just take a look."

Lyon responded for the second time.

"Are you looking to see if anyone comes to say hello, or are you looking at me?"

Terena responded quickly, seemingly having been suppressed all day, and Leon had successfully piqued her interest in talking.

Her words also stirred something in Leon's heart, realizing that she had noticed him observing whether anyone was looking at Therena.

With so many female characters, very few would see through Leon's hidden actions.

Because of his profession as a Shadow Walker and a con artist, and his instinctive habit of deceiving people over the years, the heroines and various powerful figures often fail to see through his many hidden actions, let alone his true thoughts hidden in his heart.

All they could see was his performance of the intention he wanted them to understand.
