After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

At the time, Vemes's actions surprised many of the veterans in the Black Tower. They had thought that this aloof Black Tower Master would never take on a disciple... but unexpectedly, she brought back a low-ranking wizard who had just completed her arcane initiation.

At that time, some people in the Black Tower questioned whether Sharl, despite his amazing talent, was too impulsive and unable to settle down to study arcane arts, thus limiting his future prospects and making him unqualified to become Her Majesty Vemes's only disciple.

Just a few months later, with Sharl breaking the record for the youngest fifth-circle mage in the Dark Tower, all the doubts abruptly ceased and vanished...

And that once-naive wizard apprentice... has now grown into a pillar of the entire Dark Tower and even the Western Continent...

Even Shire's reputation in the wizarding world is beginning to overshadow that of his teacher, Vimers herself.

The golden elf's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light...

She pulled her thoughts from her memories, looked at Charles with his eyes closed, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"but......"

"I'm not like those little girls who idolize you..."

"I...have witnessed your most confused and vulnerable moments..."

"In my eyes, you don't possess that dreamlike, sacred, and inviolable aura or filter..."

"Since sooner or later one of them will benefit..."

"So--"

"How about you give me, the teacher, a discount first..."

...........

With his eyes closed, Ciel could only hear the soft sound of footsteps beside him.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a slender body close to his side.

The warm breath fell on Charles's neck, making him feel warm and moist, and a little itchy.

The golden elf took a step forward...

She stood on tiptoe, looking up at the black-haired, black-eyed wizard before her.

Then, Vemers extended her fair fingers—

She gently and carefully stroked Charles's sharply defined face.

"So--"

"I took it the first time... Anyway, it was my first time, so it's not like you lost out..."

"I hope those little girls..."

"When I realize I'm late in life, I won't regret not having acted sooner..."

A slight smile suddenly appeared on the Black Tower Master's mutterings.

"To use a phrase from your novel published at Black Tower Bookstore..."

"This should be called..."

"Want to date a young girl?"

next moment--

A cool yet soft touch...

It spread little by little on Charles's lips.

Chapter 74: Charles and Vimers' Happy End (7000 words)

The golden elf's lips were cold, yet had a soft touch.

The unique fragrance of the elves spread through Xiaer's nostrils, involuntarily reminding him of the noble and elegant Golden Holland, which shone like pure gold.

"Frankly speaking... what I'm doing now seems a bit irresponsible."

"At this very moment...you and me..."

"Or perhaps the future of the entire Western Continent is still like a series of flickering bubbles in a chaotic ocean..."

"It appears magnificent and beautiful, like a tapestry of blooming flowers, or oil poured over a blazing fire..."

"But in reality, all this beauty is merely built on illusion, and could vanish like a bubble at any moment..."

"Under such circumstances, pursuing those fleeting emotions seems like a luxury."

The golden elf took a slight step back, its ethereal voice echoing in the night sky.

"However—please allow me to be willful this once..."

"Since it's already done, there's no going back..."

"My forgetting magic probably won't work on you either."

Her fingertips gently caressed the face of the black-haired wizard before her, as if she were handling a fragile treasure.

"Little Ciel—"

"I like you."

"And it's not the kind of affection a teacher has for their student..."

.......

When Charles opened his eyes again, Vemes' figure had already disappeared.

Only in the Starry Moon Forest, where the evening breeze blows, countless nocturnal plants sway in the wind, making a rustling sound.

The unique fragrance of the golden elves still seemed to linger in the Shire's nostrils.

Xia Er extended his spiritual power slightly and could still sense the tiny spatial cracks in the surrounding void that were slowly healing.

The Black Tower Master, Vimers, specializes in spatial magic, a field she has reached unparalleled mastery, leaving later generations struggling to even come close...

For over a decade since Charles met Vemers, she had been appearing and disappearing without a trace...

To some extent, Xia Er's habit of disappearing from the Western Continent at the drop of a hat was something he learned from his teacher.

As he sensed the gradually calming spatial fluctuations around him, Charles couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sigh, women..."

.......

Since becoming an arcanist... Sharl has become accustomed to thinking and analyzing with the rational mindset of an arcanist.

No matter what kind of dangerous situation we face, we have ample contingency plans...

No matter how illogical the situation, one can maintain a calm and composed attitude...

Even when encountering something inexplicable, one can calmly analyze the underlying principles and logic...

This is the personal style that Charles has always pursued.

In fact, after he became a legend...

The things that could truly exceed his expectations were indeed extremely rare...

Whether it was defeating the divine body of the "Iron-Patterned Moon" in the capital city... or using nuclear explosion magic to annihilate the fallen sun god in the world of dawn... or even lighting up that "pseudo-star" in the world of darkness.

The process may have been somewhat tortuous...

However, in general, even when it came to matters related to gods, none of them were beyond Xia Er's control.

but--

Just now—

The kiss from Vimers caused Ciel's brain, capable of perfectly simulating every detail of a large-scale forbidden spell model like the "pseudo-star," to short-circuit in an instant...

The once raging ocean of spiritual energy, where each surge was a simulated world of birth and death, has become a blank sheet of paper. It took a long time to restart, but it still operates somewhat slowly.

Lu Xun once said... Never try to analyze or guess a woman's mind.

"Now it seems that what you said was indeed correct."

He used his remaining mental energy to activate "Astral Walk," returning to his private research lab in the Black Tower, and then sat down directly into the beanbag chair.

Charles felt he needed some quiet time.

.......

"I am the overlord of chaos, the infernal flames of sin flickering in the abyss, twisted and dim flames, chaotic crimson darkness, mad screams, stepping into the extinguished light, punishing sin with sin, black fragments etched upon my body, I shall be an enemy of arrogant destiny."

"My beloved, do not dance lightly, for a dance brings a lifetime of suffering; if there is an afterlife, I will dance with you across the world."

"Do you believe in gravity? I admire the first person to eat a shiitake mushroom, even if it was poisonous. Once I've mastered it, I'll definitely awaken you; everyone eventually goes to heaven. One last time, time is about to accelerate, come down." "Spiral Staircase," "Rhinoceros Beetle," "Ruinsed Street," "Fig Tower," "Rhinoceros Beetle," "The Way of Theresa," "Rhinoceros Beetle," "Singularity," "Giotto," "Angel," "Hydrangea," "Rhinoceros Beetle," "Secret Emperor"... With that said, madeinheaven.

As Ciel lay on the beanbag chair, sipping an iced cola, he took out the book he had previously bought at the Shadow Council auction, "The Forbidden Codex of the Dark Swordsman," and after carefully reading it three times, his previously stagnant thoughts became active again.

Then--

"How embarrassing."

With a blank expression, Ciel placed the "Forbidden Codex of the Dark Swordsman" under three seals and then threw it back into the sub-plane.

However, thanks to it, Charles also felt that his previously blank and stagnant mental ocean had returned to normal operation.

"So... what exactly is going on here...?"
