252 Elf of Fire Elements Part 1 (1/2)
”Come here, Nailisi.” Saleen waved to Nailisi, who was still standing in the teleportation portal.
Nailisi walked over and bowed in front of Jason. Her body became longer quickly after she taking off her clothes, exposing her skin covered in green patterns and the tail swinging behind her.
”Master Jason, Saleen is my master,” Nailisi said in her most respectful tone of ancient Myers language. Jason’s powers were stronger than that of an imp, and even stronger than that of some demons. Nailisi truly respected Jason from the bottom of her heart, and not just because Jason was Saleen’s teacher.
Her mental power was as sharp as Saleen’s, and she could feel Jason’s strong will. That will was akin to fully-refined rhenium gold – pure, flawless, tenacious, and sharp. The most surprising thing was that Jason’s will was also restrained. A person could not sense this will unless he himself decided to reveal it.
”Well…” Jason looked at Nailisi’s tail and said, ”Raise your head.”
Nailisi looked up, golden light flashing in that pair of green eyes. Jason thought for a moment and asked, ”Are you a demon?”
”Imp,” Nailisi replied.
”Your power is about the same as a demon’s. What type of contract did you sign with Saleen? ”
”A soul bond.”
”How long have you been an adult?”
”Just over a year,” Nailisi answered carefully. She had discovered that Jason was more knowledgeable than Saleen. He had asked all of the important questions, but had not followed up on any of them. Apparently, he knew everything already.
”Stand up. You can continue following Saleen.” Jason was also relieved. Nailisi had signed a soul bond with Saleen before she was an adult, which meant that there would be no backlash. No future growth from Nailisi would harm Saleen. With the strength of his soul, Saleen had been too reckless in signing a contract with an imp who had a strange lineage and branching evolutions.
If the soul bond had been signed when she was already an adult, things would have become quite complicated.
”Teacher...” Saleen said, but did not know where to begin. He had many words to say. He wanted to ask about everything that had happened to Jason after he had left him, and he also wanted to tell him about the hell of god's punishment.
”Saleen, come here and talk to me. My state at grade-7 is stable now. Don’t worry.” Jason sat Saleen at a table. Nailisi stood up and stayed behind Saleen in her human form.
Hundreds of black metal blocks were placed on the table, and Saleen glanced at them and immersed himself in their form.
The Dante Sequence!
This sequence was superior to the Figaro Formula. The latter explained the relationship between elements and matter while the former explained the compositional principles of the dimensions.
Those hundreds of black metal blocks placed on Jason’s table were apparently the simplest sequence, but they explained the principles of the dimensions, and were still abstruse. My teacher’s lineage is obviously stronger than Faerun’s. Is he studying the composition of the dimensions already? But this is beyond the calculative abilities of a grade-7 mage!
”Saleen, can you understand this?” Jason knew that although he had instructed Saleen a lot, he had not had time to teach him advanced knowledge. This Dante Sequence was something that he had just begun studying, but Saleen had immersed himself in it immediately, indicating that he knew something about the sequence.
”I can’t, but I have read about it in magic notes.”
As he spoke, Saleen could not help but take all of the magic books and notes he had obtained from Raphael’s magic tower out of his Ring of Gifts. He only brought out the high-grade ones, yet they covered most of the space on the table.
”Teacher, these are what I have obtained. Please accept them.”
”Haha!” Jason laughed and said to Saleen, ”Saleen, I’ve already found my path and won’t need these anymore. Keep them for yourself. You can come to me if you have any questions.”
Jason also felt satisfied within his heart. Saleen was a good child. Although he had taken the wrong path before, he had become an orthodox mage through his own efforts. This knowledge was invaluable and Saleen had proved that he had a good heart by taking them out.
Saleen hesitated, put the books away one by one, took out several blank scrolls, and asked, ”Teacher, you surely need these, don’t you? I heard that Sregl Island has been in trouble recently.”
”Not exactly in trouble. It was just a problem left over from a long time ago. I’ll tell you later. Saleen, these scrolls are ancient and are fairly high-level. Where did you get them?”
