I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

"It's still early, I'll take you to find Charlotte first."

Seeing that Eli's expression was somewhat unusual when he mentioned Charlotte, Lynn asked, "Did something happen to Charlotte?"

Eli pursed his lips and whispered, "I don't know why, but the side effects of Charlotte's beast transformation haven't subsided yet. I guess it might be because of Rigel... I told you, they've known each other for a long time."

Lynn nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"So, I hope you can help her."

"Why do you think I can help her? I don't know anything about druids."

Eli blinked. "I can't find anyone more suitable right now... and," she tiptoed and gently patted Lynn's shoulder, "I believe in you."

Lynn felt a little confused, but he still couldn't help but smile.

Led by Eli, the three arrived at the public carriage stop a few steps away from the city gate.

This is a unique benefit of the Upper District, with similar stations set up throughout the district.

Although it was called a public carriage, it was much more spacious and luxurious than the ordinary carriage that Lynn had just rented, and each carriage had its own designated seat, so unless you knew the person, there was rarely any carpooling.

Eli and Lynn sat in the back, where they had the best view, able to see the scenery outside through the side and front windows.

She frowned as she looked at Lynn's ill-fitting clothes, as if she were looking at some major threat. Soon, she extended her hand, which was covered by a white glove, to the young maid sitting in the front row who had been looking uneasy.

"Grace, please give me some safety pins."

The maid Grace paused for a moment, then realized what was happening when she saw her mistress starting to take off her gloves. She hurriedly took out a small handful of safety pins from her purse.

Does she really carry something like that around with her? Noble family maids are truly incredibly versatile…

Lynn smiled at Eli and obediently opened her arms and swayed her body as Eli gestured.

The girl moved nimbly and was extremely skilled. She quickly used several tiny pins to fasten his sleeves, waist, and collar.

This miraculous turnaround instantly made Lynn's tacky dress look much better.

"It's a pity I didn't have time to go to the tailor shop. It's my fault. It's true that relying solely on memory to determine the size is unreliable."

Lynn looked down at his clothes. It was a dark blue tuxedo of excellent workmanship and fabric, and on his slightly thin frame, it looked just like the image depicted in the painting in the letter Eli had sent—

Tall, handsome, and refined.

If he were to wear a pair of fashionable tortoiseshell glasses, he would be the kind of young scholar who would often attract attention on the streets of the capital of Asia.

"You have excellent taste..." Lynn exclaimed sincerely. If he were to choose these clothes himself, he definitely wouldn't be able to pick out something so suitable for him.

Upon hearing this, Eli paused for a moment before brushing a stray hair from his forehead, letting out a soft hum, and turning his head to look out the window.

The two of them immediately fell silent.

Only Grace, the maid opposite, looked at this one and then at that one, her expression shifting, but what she was thinking was:

Oh no, oh no! If Mr. Lawrence knew that Miss was riding in a carriage with a strange man today, and even flirting with him in public, I'd definitely be going back to my hometown to grow turnips!

……

The carriage smoothly entered a secluded street and stopped in front of a manor.

Lynn helped Eli jump off the carriage, and the two entered the manor gate side by side.

The old guard dozing at the gate clearly recognized Eli; he only opened his eyes slightly to glance at him before continuing to sleep.

Lynn looked around at the scene and was amazed by the sheer size of the place.

However, despite being called a manor, it is more like a botanical garden, with all kinds of flowers, trees, and shrubs planted throughout the garden.

The air seemed to still be filled with the scent of wild beasts.

For a moment, he almost thought he was in the Secret Forest.

"This is a unique way of training for druids. They often gain a deeper understanding of the true essence of magic in nature," Eli explained.

No wonder they live in such a remote place, keeping wild animals in the city. Aren't they afraid of disturbing the neighbors?

At the same time, Lynn was also secretly surprised by Charlotte's wealth.

"I remember Carlisle mentioning that her full name was Charlotte Fenrir. What kind of family is Fenrir?" he wondered.

The three of them walked through the large front yard and arrived at a three-story wooden building.

Eli didn't lead him through the main entrance, but instead took him through the porch and made his way up the stairs on the far side of the building to the third floor.

She stood at the door and gently knocked on the wooden door.

A short while later, the sound of a doorknob being turned came from inside, and with a click, the door opened.

Lynn looked down and saw who opened the door, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

monkey……?

The shiny-furred little monkey seemed to be smiling. It chirped twice and bowed its head to Eli in a gentlemanly manner, making her giggle.

Animal trainer? Zoo director... Lynn's thoughts wandered.

Upon entering, he carefully surveyed the room, suspecting that there might be other animals hiding inside.

The room wasn't large, but it was more than enough to accommodate a few people. However, it was almost dark, with either no windows or the windows completely covered by thick curtains.

"Eli?" Charlotte's weak voice came from the corner.

Then, a small orange lamp lit up near her, barely illuminating most of the room.

Lynn then discovered that the room was completely empty, without any furniture or even a single book.

He peeked into the inner room and saw layers of dark curtains; it must be the bedroom.

Charlotte sat upright on the wooden floor, wearing a silk robe, seemingly just waking up from a meditation.

Her gaze fell on Lynn, she was clearly stunned for a moment, and then nodded to him.

"Charlotte, are you alright? I invited Lynn to the party tonight, and I brought him along to see you." Eli quickly walked over to Charlotte's side, squatted down to check on his friend.

Charlotte nodded first, then glanced at Lynn, pulled the blanket that had slipped off beside her tighter around herself, shook her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Eli, I probably can't make it to the dinner."

"Why can't you go? Has your condition worsened?"

Eli made a move to grab Charlotte's sleeve, but she stopped him without saying a word.

Eli calmed down a bit, glanced at Lynn, and then suggested to his friend:

"Perhaps you should let Lynn know about your current situation. I think he should be able to help you."

Lynn was also puzzled. What could I possibly do? I'm neither a druid nor do I know any life magic; my only nature magic is summoning a hand...

But then it occurred to him that perhaps Eli was hinting at the Magic Network, but she had sworn an oath to Brown Star and could not reveal anything related to it.

Seeing Charlotte stubbornly shaking her head, she called out somewhat anxiously:

"You've forgotten, without him, we would never have been able to defeat Rigger!"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte's calm expression cracked slightly, revealing obvious pain.

Lynn remembered clearly that it was Charlotte, who had transformed into a golden-haired wolf, who delivered the final blow to the corrupted Rigel.

Did this incident severely affect her mental state afterward, turning it into a nightmare?

Seeing that Charlotte's attitude had softened, Eli immediately beckoned Lynn over.

When Lynn approached, she carefully lifted her friend's sleeve, and only then did Lynn see...

Charlotte's originally fair and smooth arms were now covered with dense golden hair!
