"Xiuma!"
"Teacher!"
Seeing the old man walk out of the room for the first time, the two women immediately threw Roy down and surrounded the old man.
"Xiuma, it's our fault. We're not sincere enough to deceive you," Hill said with a pitiful expression on his face. He gently reached out his hand, hesitating and carefully grabbed Xiuma's arm. Jero remained silent and stood behind the old man with a low eyebrow, calmly blocking the door of his simple treehouse.
These two women are too powerful, Roy muttered to himself.
"Alright!" The old man's angry voice was full of helplessness, "I've been doing this since I was young, I really don't know who made me grow up!"
"Xiuma, don't be angry. We'll make amends for you, otherwise..." She couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiuma with a blush on her face, slowly lowering her head, while Yeluo still stood behind her silently.
The old leader didn't glance askance, as if he didn't even see Hill's shy expression. He struggled to pull his arm out of Hill's arms and said, "Alright! Don't be angry with me here. I have something to say to this kid. If you have nothing to do, just go back to the house for now!"
"Yes, teacher." Jero quickly opened the door behind him and his figure disappeared in a flash. As Hill was about to follow in, the old man's angry beard almost curled up in the sky. "Let's all go back to my own room!" The old man's roar almost deafened Roy's ears!
When the two women each carried the two little dragons back into the wooden house, the old man was still panting heavily with lingering anger.
The old man couldn't help but cough awkwardly when he saw Roy staring at him in a daze.
Roy just came to his senses and said, "What's up with me?"
"Well, there is indeed something that has a great deal to do with you. Time is almost up, old man. My chance has really come."
I don't know if Roy was mistaken, but today the old man seemed a bit excited but also gave a sense of vicissitudes.
Roy was full of questions and saw the old man waving at him. He quickly ran over and sat next to the old man.
"I know you must have a lot of things to know now. You want to know my identity, the old man, and why I asked you to find this' ice lotus'." As he said, he picked up a few ice lotus flowers that Hill had thrown on the ground and casually threw them in his hand.
"Yes, not bad!" Speaking of "Ice Lotus", Roy now knows that he must have been deceived.
The old man sighed and threw the "Ice Lotus" back to the ground, gently wiping it in front of him.
The air in front of Roy twisted, gradually turning from transparent to crimson. Slowly, a jumping flame emerged in mid air.
"What did you see?"
"Fire!" Roy couldn't figure out the old man's question.
"I mean, what did you see me do just now?"
"Did you use a fireball spell?" Roy still didn't understand.
"Actually, I didn't use any spells at all, just silently reciting them in my heart!" The old man's expression was serious, and his voice was unusually low.
"Is there any problem with this?"
Roy's words surprised the old man greatly, and he couldn't help but look at Roy with an idiot like gaze.
"Have you never learned magic?"
"No," Roy shook his head.
"You should know the basic theory, right?" the old man asked unwillingly.
"No," Roy continued shaking his head.
Roy knew that the popularity of magic on the mainland was very high, and almost everyone knew it. However, only a very small number of talented and hardworking people could cultivate magic to a high level. Ordinary people could only set fire to firewood in winter or cool the summer breeze to relieve the heat, which was already remarkable. As for Roy, after waking up, he had little memory and had no concept of magic.
"Are you a magical idiot!?" The old man's eyes widened like copper bells.

Although the title was comfortable, it was a fact, and Roy nodded reluctantly.
"Hahaha!" After a brief moment of confusion, the old man burst out laughing as if he had remembered something happy. "Okay! Okay! Okay!" The old man said three good words in a row.
Roy patiently watched the old man keep laughing non-stop.
"A kid who doesn't even have basic knowledge of magic can fly around in the sky with my scroll! Alright! Alright! Alright!" The old man said three good words in a row!
"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. It will be dawn soon." Roy finally couldn't bear it anymore!
"Okay!" The old man couldn't help but smile when he realized he had said another "okay".
"I'll tell you from the beginning!"
"When I was young, I once traveled to the mainland to broaden my horizons, and it was during that time that I met the two of them." The old man's gaze shifted towards the exquisite wooden house.
"At that time, both of their parents were already dead and helpless. Two young girls, aged six or seven, were almost taken by Warcraft on the wilderness. I softened my heart for a moment and adopted them, but it turned out to be the result now." The old man couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"At that time, the old man had some strength, so I became a palace mage in the Caton Empire." Although the old man spoke plainly, Roy still noticed a hint of imperceptible arrogance at the corner of his mouth.
This old man is indeed a remarkable figure!
"I found out that Hill is a magical genius that I haven't seen in a hundred years, so I conducted magic research while carefully teaching her. Unfortunately, Jero didn't have much magical talent. But soon after, she was spotted by a mysterious figure in the palace, and the royal family even put a lot of pressure on me to accept that mysterious figure's teachings. I couldn't have agreed to it..." The old man paused, his face a bit sad. "But Jero didn't listen and insisted on learning, so I had to let her go. As a result..." The old man sighed, "She is now the detective leader of the Imperial Secret Forces, except for a very few." A few people, she now looks cold and indifferent
Detective leader of the Imperial Secret Forces!
Roy trembled upon hearing this sentence: No wonder this woman always gives people an indescribable sense of danger! Detective of Imperial Secret Forces! To put it simply, isn't that just a secret agency, Jero? It turns out to be the chief spy of the Caton Empire! The execution of tasks by senior spies never concerns any legal provisions. Everything is based on interests, and human life is like grass when needed. The identity of each senior spy itself is a murder permit. Roy couldn't help but feel a hint of fear as he looked at the exquisite cabin.
"Everyone has their own way of life, but fortunately, Jero did not have a tendency to kill. Instead, he became more and more calm, which made me somewhat relieved."
"Looking back now, it's actually nothing. Time will always move forward, and people will always change. As long as you still have a true intention, it's enough!" The old man sighed again.
"Later on, the two of them slowly grew up. Hill's rare talent was quickly discovered by the Divine Court, and coupled with Hill's major in light magic, the Divine Court sent people to intentionally let Hill enter the Divine Court for cultivation. In fact, I am a light mage myself, and whether or not Hill goes to practice is not much different, but you can see..." The old man smiled sarcastically, "Hill hesitated many times to get rid of my 'teacher' and went to the Divine Court. And with his exceptional talent and hard work, he became the only candidate for the high priest a few years later, and Jero was also sitting in the position of the high leader at that time."
After pausing for a moment, the old man looked up at the sky, as if there were countless secrets hidden in the night sky. "And during that time, I discovered something that might not have been discovered..." The old man was somewhat lost in thought, as if he had been immersed in memories of the past.
Roy couldn't help but cough a few times when he saw that the old man hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Uh!" Roy's cough finally woke up the old man with a lingering look on his face.
"Ah, I got off topic. Hehe, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, and I can't stop talking."
Roy also felt that the old man was digressing from the topic. Although he had been constantly speculating about the connection between the two stunning beauties and the old man, it seemed that this was not the right time to talk about it!
The old man blinked his eyes and calmed down, "Before I talk about what I discovered, I need to make some small modifications to the things I told you earlier."
Modify!? You did lie to me before! Roy howled in his heart.
"Actually, Green Spirit didn't suffer any injuries. She just had her mouth skin damaged by your explosion. I used healing techniques to cure her in the blink of an eye. As for your bucket of venom, Green Spirit said it was hard to drink, but after a few days of tummy trouble, there was nothing else."
The old man looked at Roy's increasingly wide eyes and chuckled, saying something that surprised Roy even more.
"That day, the two little dragons were not very obedient. The Green Spirit went out in a fit of anger to look for food, but ended up encountering your airship. Oh, how could it fly in the sky for most of the night!" The old man looked like you should have been unlucky.
"Just because she was in a bad mood at the time!?" Roy listened to his voice dryly.
"Mmm!" the old man replied positively.
"She attacked our airship, ate a few of our crew members, and finally caught me here!? Reflecting on the floating flames in mid air, Roy's eyes shone brightly!"
"Mmm!" The old man nodded again.
"So, why did you save me? What's wrong with that ice lotus?" Roy was already trying his best to control his emotions.
The old man looked at Roy's ironclad face with satisfaction and said, "Young people have determination. I thought if I knew this, I would go all out with Green Spirit.".
The old man patted Roy's shoulder and said, "Dragons can eat almost anything if it's not something that tastes too bad. In their eyes, many things in this world are food. Don't blame her, it's just because she stands at the pinnacle of biology."
Roy couldn't help but nod silently. A dragon indeed had the capital to do so. When on the ship, the crew always talked about topics such as which giant dragon woke up and slaughtered which city it had nothing to do. Relatively speaking, the Green Spirit's approach was still a minor incident.
Watching Roy's expression gradually ease, the old man continued, "And I saved you for a reason."
The long lost gaze reappeared in the old man's eyes, and Roy never understood why the old man looked at him with this kind of gaze. In that gaze, there was infinite eagerness and hope.
"Kid, you are destined not to be an ordinary person!"
The old man looked up at the sky and said, "It's a huge coincidence that we were able to meet!"
