Chapter 227: Limits? (2/2)

He soon calmed down and replied to her worried tone with a calming one.

”I'm fine, I just used a little more mana than I expected.”

”Oh, dear! Is there something I can do to help Lord Ty? I'll try my best if I can.”

Suddenly panicked by his words, Erin had drawn even closer to him. She was so close he could feel her gentle breaths. Her lovely face dimpled adorably as she asked her question.

Tyler, who had already calmed down was now getting worked up by the sudden turn of events again.

”No, it's fine... I should be fully recovered in a few hours.”

”oh... okay.”

She moved away from him but it seemed like she was a little disappointed. Perhaps not involving her in his earlier test had made her a little anxious or feeling left out but there was nothing he could do about that now.

Not only would it take way too much mana to boost her past her current Tier, but Tyler truly didn't think her source had stabilized enough for something like that.

”Umm... err... Lord Ty?”

”Yes.”

”I'm not sure if it will work but I can try using my ability to increase your life force. That may restore your mana.”

”There's really no need for you too— You know what, please do.”

Seeing Erin look defected about not being able to help, Tyler changed his mind and allowed her to do her thing which seems to make her happy. She rushed closer to him and held the sides of his head closer to her chest which would've made him distracted but the light was suddenly emitted from her hands, hindering the alluring view.

It was then followed by a warm feeling that seems to wipe away his fatigue. After only a couple of seconds, the light suddenly stopped and she moved back a little as she shyly asked if it worked and how he now felt.

”Indeed. I feel much better now. Thank you.”

”Um... oh it was nothing.” She was fidgeting with her fingers as she answered him which made Tyler chuckle inwardly as he examined himself.

Sensing more movements in his left hand that were struck by negative corruption, Tyler nodded his head in satisfaction and stood up from the throne. Turning his head to face the suddenly flustered Erin, he spoke.

”Do you have something to do while the others are busy?”

”Um... err... No, not really. I'm done with all the tasks you assigned me with and I'm able to maintain my surveillance spell around the castle indefinitely.”

Tyler tilted his head in amazement as he smiled and continued speaking to Erin.

”I see... That is impressive, good work.”

”Oh... um... Thank you, sire.”

'How adorable.' Tyler thought of her reserved expression as he thought of what he wanted to do next.

”Since that's the case there's no point in assigning you a similar task so why don't you accompany me for a while then. I need to check up on the dwarves and then the Kobolds to see their current progress so I'm aware of whatever they require to make the work easier and faster. There's only so much I can get from reading the report.”

”Oh... right. As expected of Lord Ty. I did not even think of that.”

Tyler could see that she was genuinely in awe of his wisdom but she was operating under a misunderstanding as Tyler could not understand nor comprehend the extremely detailed report she had ogives him.

He was only operating under the summarized version he had heard from her mouth. He needed to visit these places because he needed to get a better feel on what was going on around him so he could easily understand the report better.

Uriel's explanation had also not been helpful as she was just as sophisticated as Erin was. Tyler was sure the nymph's intellect could match or even surpass that of Z if she was so reserved about everything including her abilities.

After all, she also had the title of Genius in her data. Moving on from that train of thought. Tyler shifted his gaze to the corner of the room where only one person remained.

Everyone else had left including the maids but Cora stayed behind and as Tyler stood up from the throne, she moved behind him and accomplished Tyler and Erin out of the hall.
