When Orson heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? I didn't blame you for anything... No, how did you know my identity?"

"Master Li Te told us before when he left. We are still curious about why Master Li Te would bring an unidentified person to his manor."

The butler said this in a sincere tone.

At first, they were still speculating about the relationship between Leeteuk and Orson. After all, Leeteuk's behavior was a bit like "keeping" someone else.

They didn't know Leeteuk's real gender and thought he had some special hobbies.

But now that they knew this man was Orson, the servants were no longer so confused.

Now everyone in the empire knows about the brotherly friendship between Orson and Leete, and many people even use the relationship between the two as material for educating their children.

"Is that so?" Orson nodded after hearing this, then looked at the butler and said:

"I don't mind this matter, but I do have something I want to ask you."

"Well, please ask, Lord Orson."

The butler nodded slightly.

"When did Lit buy this manor?"

"This... I don't know either, but I started working here three months ago. Master Li Te probably bought this manor three months ago."

"Is that so?"

Orson nodded.

The other person may be hiding something from you, and it’s good enough that he or she is willing to tell you this much.

After all, the other party's owner is Lit, not Orson. No matter how close the relationship between the two is, they are still two people.

Being able to distinguish the primary from the secondary proves that this housekeeper is quite good.

"Well, are all the lands around this manor owned by Lit?"

"Yes... including a village next door. I heard that the villagers in the village almost couldn't survive because of famine and heavy taxes. Lord Lit bought a batch of food with money and distributed it to the villagers. Instead, the villagers moved to the vicinity of the manor and planted flowers around the manor. Their first batch of flowers had a good harvest and sold for a good price. Their life was much better than before."

"That's not bad."

Upon hearing this, Orson was very impressed with Litt's approach.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. At least Lit is not a hypocrite.

She really helped this group of people solve their life problems.

But there is still a problem facing Orson.

So why did Litt buy such a manor?

Litt is rich, but in Orson's impression, she has never been the kind of person who likes to spend money lavishly, and she even lives a very simple life.

Before, Chelinina would give Lit a sum of money every month. Orson thought that Lit had saved the money, but he didn't expect that she used it to buy this manor.

As an asset investment, the rate of return on something like a manor is definitely not the highest. At least there are many more profitable things on it.

Even stability, the manor is not the best.

However, Litt did something that did not meet Orson's expectations.

It's impossible that I will lock myself up here at that time, right?

Are you kidding? I watched Leeteuk grow from immaturity to maturity step by step. In other words, I am Leeteuk's third father. How could Leeteuk do such a thing?

It seems that I will have to wait and ask Litt later.

Thinking of this, Orson looked at the housekeeper in front of him and said, "I'm a little hungry. Please prepare some breakfast for me."

"Ok."

The butler nodded and then walked out of the room.

At this time, Orson came to the window, pushed it open, and saw the garden outside.

The room that Lit prepared for himself was actually more like the room of the owner of the mansion. As soon as he opened the window, he could see the most beautiful scenery of the entire manor.

"Leet has put a lot of thought into the landscaping."

Orson said this and sighed.

The vegetation and flowers in the entire garden are all Orson's favorites. There is also a small pavilion in the garden for enjoying afternoon tea. The materials and layout of the building are also very similar to Antica's home. It is better to say that this is not so much a manor that Litt bought for himself, but rather that it was built specifically to please Orson.

Come to think of it, it seems that Lit rescued the villagers of that village and asked them to plant flowers next to the manor for this purpose?

Orson didn't think about it and turned his view back to the room.

He still couldn't feel any trace of magic power in his body, and his strength was only at the level of an ordinary, slightly trained adult, no more than the first level at most.

Orson looked at the mirror, raised his right hand, and began to silently recite the simplest magic spell.

However, even so, there was still no reaction at all.

Seeing this, Orson sighed silently.

"You never said the price would be so high."

……

Imperial College.

"Oh, isn't this Lit? How come you have time to come to see me?" Therese said in surprise when she saw Lit at the door of her dormitory.

After seeing Triss, Litt also hurried over.

"Um, Teacher Triss, I have something I want to ask you. I wonder if you are free now..."

"I've just finished my work, so... let's go into the house first?"

"Yeah." Lit nodded, then followed Triss into the dormitory.

"Come, have some tea."

Triss brought two cups of tea from the kitchen, placed them on the table, and then sat opposite Lit.

Leeteuk took the tea and took a sip politely.

"Okay, tell me why you came to see me this time. Who is it because of?"

"Um... Teacher Triss, a friend of mine, he used to be very powerful, but in a battle, facing an opponent who was much stronger than him, he used a... um, a relatively taboo ability?"

"In the end, he defeated his enemy, but at the same time, after that battle, he also lost all his power and became an ordinary person. What do you think?

, is there any possibility of his recovery?"

"Leet, the friend you're talking about... isn't it you?"

Triss said this and looked at Lit, pretending to be surprised.

"No way!"

Upon hearing this, Li Te quickly shook his head.

Then, as if to reassure Triss, she reached out her hand again and condensed a ball of fire in her palm to prove that she still had magic power.

"That's strange... This is the first time I've heard of the situation of this friend you mentioned."

Triss said this, supporting her chin with one hand and frowning.

"It depends. In some books, there are indeed stories where a hero loses all his power in order to defeat a villain and eventually seals the villain. But as you know, these stories are all made up by humans. It's still unknown whether they are credible or not."

"And in other magics that have a cost, there has never been a situation where all strength is lost. Instead, the damage to the body is more obvious."

"Leet, your friend doesn't have any serious injuries, right?"

"This..." Li Te was stunned when he heard this.

Then she fell silent, not knowing whether she should tell Tris about this.

Chapter 80: Nineteen Years Ago

"How about this."

Seeing that Lit hesitated for a moment, Triss took the initiative to speak:

"Since you're asking this kind of thing, you must not be joking. Let me guess who this person you're talking about is. If you guess it, you have to tell me, okay?"

"……Um."

Lit was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Then I guess... it's Orson?"

After all, apart from Orson, Tris couldn't think of anyone else that Lit would care so much about.

This little girl has always admired her brother, and she understands this.

"Yes."

Leeteuk admitted it directly.

Therese was giving herself a way out, so she just went along with it tactfully.

Then, she told Triss all about the changes in Orson.

Triss nodded when she heard this.

In fact, she had known about Orson's problem for a long time. The reason she waited for Litt to say it was to see how much Litt knew about Orson's abnormality at this moment.

"Orson's problem... may be more difficult. I have discovered some of Orson's problems before."

"I wasn't going to tell you originally, but since you, Lit, already know Orson's current situation, I'll just tell you straight away."

"Orson is not a pure-blooded human. He may not even have human blood in him."

"No human blood!?"

When Lit heard Triss's words, it was like a bolt from the blue that hit Lit's brain.

"Yes."

Therese directly told Lit the cruelest truth.

"The reason why Orson can use the power of the devil and remain rational when facing the devil flower is because he has extremely pure devil blood. But at the same time, in order to suppress the negative factors in the devil blood, Orson should have another high-level blood, and this blood should not be human."

"Then...then Teacher Triss, you mean that Orson is a hybrid of another race and a demon?"

"That's it." Triss nodded, and then expressed her guess:

"The so-called high-level bloodline is one of the many bloodlines passed down from ancient times. Among them, although humans are also passed down from ancient times, in order to ensure their reproductive ability, they have lost many powerful inheritances."

"And those races with strong bloodline power are mostly rare and long-lived."

"For example, races such as elves, dragons, and vampires, as well as their subspecies, and even our human variant - witches, are also very likely. Orson is very likely the descendant of these races."

"Then how do we infer Orson's other race?"

"That will have to wait until the power of the other race is revealed."

Triss said helplessly.

"Osen is so talented. Besides bloodline, there is another possibility, which is his parents."

"His parents may have abandoned Orson there to avoid the war eighteen years ago, but they wanted Orson to survive, so they cast a spell on him to turn into a human.

Law, under the effect of this magic..."

Triss said this while looking off into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

About twenty years ago, something big did happen.

Orson, maybe he is that adult's child.

……

Nineteen years ago, Empire.

Outside Antica.

This place has recently been attacked by orcs, and all the humans living nearby have become refugees, fleeing westward.
