Lord: Starting with Contract Half-Elf Twins

The morning sun slanted across the stone fortress's spire.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, drifted through the open wooden windows and stirred the animal skin curtains hanging beside the fireplace.

In the open terrain outside the stone fortress, Allen was leaning back on a stone chair covered with thick animal hides, flipping through the elven magic book he had traded for from the Barga ship.

The wound on his chest has begun to heal under Viola's treatment, but moving around still aggravates it, causing a dull ache.

He possesses the regenerative ability of dragon blood, so although his injuries are severe, he can recover in just a few days.

Viola sat beside him, looking ahead with anticipation.

"Sorina looks so radiant today..."

Although Viola was excited, there was still a hint of complaint in her tone.

"You've given Solina power twice already, and I've never done it even once."

Allen closed the book, smiled, and ruffled her hair.

"I'm sorry, I still haven't found a suitable ability, and I don't want to just use any power to make do... The more diverse your powers are, the more they will distract you, and you'll end up with something that's neither good enough nor bad enough."

"And if I also alter your bloodline, you won't gain the trust of the ancient tree elders and the little wood spirits, right?"

"That's one thing..."

Viola puffed out her cheeks, still looking a little awkward.

She and Solina always shared everything equally, even Ellen herself was supposed to...

In short, she was never a match for Solina to begin with, and now that Solina's power has been further enhanced, Viola is far from being able to catch up.

Seeing that Viola was no longer saying anything, Allen also turned his gaze to Solina, who was experimenting with her powers in the distance.

Last night, he used the heart-protecting scale that he had knocked off Lyriel as an enhancement material, consuming one of the three newly acquired crystals, to open a new enhancement path for Solina.

As expected, a [Silver Dragon Blood Guardian] appeared in the enhancement route.

The original [Red Dragon Blood Guard] class, due to its unique enhancement through bloodline modification, could not advance but could be fused with matching enhancements.

The Silver Dragon Blood Guard, being of the same dragon bloodline, naturally meets the fusion requirements.

With this enhancement, it merged with the original [Red Dragon Blood Guardian], and a new class [Dragon Blood Guardian (Red Dragon, Silver Dragon)] appeared on Solina's stats!

The level has also been increased from lv6 to lv8!

Moreover, after being modified again by the Silver Dragon bloodline, Solina's character stats were directly upgraded from [Elite] to [Hero]!

This feedback force directly increased the amount of magic power in Allen's body by a large margin!

If Allen hadn't just been promoted to a [Leader-level] rank, this feedback would probably have already allowed him to level up again.

In the distance, Solina was testing her newly acquired powers.

Her long, golden-white hair swayed with the fluctuations of magic, and the humid air by the sea was filled with water elements, which easily formed ice crystals under her control.

She raised her right hand, palm up.

Ice crystals rapidly condensed as she moved, clearly indicating that she wanted to conjure a weapon.

However, being a first-time user of frost magic, Solina lacked sufficient experience and skill, and the ice crystals could not be condensed into the precise shape of a weapon.

Fortunately, Solina dispersed the oddly shaped ice lump, restoring it to sharp ice crystals, which she then flung outwards.

In an instant, the icy mist burst open, and a sound like popping beans could be heard. In the distance, a large tree was embedded with countless ice crystals, and its entire trunk was covered in white frost.

But that wasn't all; Solina then raised her left hand.

The next second, a cluster of crimson flames rose in her palm, the dancing flames licking the air and emitting a familiar burning sensation.

At the same time, countless ice crystals condensed again in his right hand.

Two completely incompatible elements coexist peacefully in Solina's hands.

However, when Solina tried to activate both at the same time, she accidentally caused them to collide when she threw them out.

A small portion of the flames and ice crystals turned into a white mist during the violent collision, failing to unleash their full power.

But that's already enough to break the mold.

Generally speaking, wizards manipulate the elements by studying the nature of magic and establishing their own unique spellcasting systems.

Spellcasters like Allen and Solina are classified as warlocks because their manipulation of elemental magic is actually close to instinct.

The former may be able to master complex magical systems simultaneously because of their deep understanding of magic.

The latter, limited by their bloodline, can often only manipulate a single type of elemental magic related to their bloodline. Even if they are involved in other fields, they find it difficult to exert their strength in incompatible fields.

But with the help of the Lord's Handbook, Solina achieved perfect control over both fire and ice elements.

The two opposing bloodlines, "Red Dragon" and "Silver Dragon," were perfectly "neutralized" within her!

Solina gazed at the charred and frosty tree and slowly withdrew her magic.

"Wow!"

Viola couldn't wait to come closer.

"Quick, quick, let me see the ice again!"

Solina then condensed another ice crystal above her palm.

Viola carefully touched the ice crystal and only felt a slight coolness, not the bone-chilling cold she had imagined.

"Can you control the temperature of the ice crystals?"

"Can."

"If only you had learned it sooner! It's so hot this summer, then we could have ice cream!" Viola clicked her tongue.

"That's not all."

Allen interrupted, explaining that he was injured and walking much slower than Viola.

Solina knew what Allen was talking about, so she dispersed the ice crystals, closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and let the magic power in her body flow slowly.

This time, there was neither fire nor ice, only a layer of pale purple light enveloping her.

The pebbles that were originally scattered on the ground suddenly floated up on their own, circled in the air, and stopped in front of Viola.

Viola's eyes widened, and she quickly reached out her hand, only to see the pebble land steadily in her palm.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her hand and gave a gentle push.

A semi-transparent shield appeared out of thin air in front of the wall, its surface shimmering with a pale purple magical light.

Allen gave Viola a look.

Viola paused for a moment, then threw the pebble in her hand. The pebble hit the shield with a soft "thud" and bounced back.

Solina then withdrew her magic, revealing a slightly tired expression.

"What is this?" Viola asked curiously.

"This is pure magic without any elemental magic—human mages call it arcane magic."

Allen explained,

"Although silver dragons are skilled in the power of frost, unlike red dragons who love to fight with their bodies as weapons, silver dragons prefer to be spellcasters, so they usually master arcane magic."

Seeing the arcane magic that Solina had mastered, Allen felt a weight lifted from his heart.

Arcane magic is not limited to any elemental magic, or the realms of life and death; it is the purest form of magic.

After Solina mastered arcane magic, the Twins finally had a direction to study together.

Moreover, arcane magic can indiscriminately amplify the spellcasting abilities of the half-elf twins, making it arguably the most suitable choice.

"Then I'm going north. The gnolls haven't even moved half of their supplies yet."

After testing her new power, Solina didn't seem to have any further thoughts and turned to leave.

But after turning around and taking a few steps, he turned back and glanced at Allen again.

"If there are any more enemies, you must tell me. You are not allowed to go alone, understand?"

"understood."

After Solina left, Viola also said goodbye and prepared to go down the mountain.

"The little wood spirits are scared of that dragon and have hidden themselves. I need to go and comfort them."

After saying that, Viola also left the stone castle.

Allen looked left and right, then staggered back to his chair.

"They didn't even make me breakfast today..."
