You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel?

She gave a soft snort, crossed her arms, raised her chin, and said coldly, "Hmph, I was wrong."

"What? I didn't hear you."

"I said I was wrong!"

"Where did I go wrong?"

"Chloris, I'm your older sister. Is there any point in interrogating me like this?"

“Interesting. If you don’t tell me everything you’ve done, I’m going to embellish it in my letter.”

Zefina gripped her staff tightly, never expecting that she, a dignified natural disaster, would have to suffer such humiliation.

With her back to Chloris and Lott, she said, "I lost my first attack to Lott. I was so angry that I wanted to hit him, but instead I got punched by Lott."

"And then?"

"Then... I secretly broke the seal and secretly used the seventh-circle magic."

"Tell me the final result."

"I... I still haven't beaten it."

"It's okay, sister, you're already very good. You're just a little bit worse than Lotte."

Zefina's legs gave way, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud, covering her face with her hands.

Her world collapsed.

The shame of being forced to say such things by Chloris, coupled with the realization that her pride in her strength had been easily defeated by Lotte, caused Zephyr's psychological defenses to completely collapse.

How could it have developed like this?!

Her companion comforted her, saying, "Zefina, you are the most powerful mage calamity, you are already very powerful."

"But I'm not number one!"

"You're number one now."

"Lotte will definitely surpass me in the future!"

"Aren't you two going to become a family? From now on, Lott will call you 'sister,' isn't that nice?"

"not good!"

Chloris stood there, stunned. She had never imagined that her perpetually cold sister could have such a side.

She and Lotte, who was sitting on the ground, looked into each other's eyes and couldn't help but smile.

Chloris helped Lott to sit down on the lush green lawn. She lifted Lott's clothes to examine the wound on his lower abdomen.

Her cool fingertips gently caressed Lotte's skin, relieving Lotte's pain considerably.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"My sister is really something, why is she getting angry with you?"

"Perhaps I embarrassed her?"

“Well done. I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time.” Chloris smiled, her long, flowing hair slipping down her shoulder and landing on Lotte’s chest.

Her hair carried a faint floral fragrance, making Lotte feel as if she were in a garden.

In the distance, Zefina was still being comforted by her companions. It took her a while to calm down.

She kept comforting herself that at least Lott would be going to the Reinhardt family, and at least her failure had some value.

After calming down, she slowly got up and looked at Lotte sitting on the ground.

She had suppressed her emotions and returned to her usual cold demeanor.

"Lotte, you won. Who is your teacher?"

"Cloris".

"Impossible. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you; it's your secret."

Zefina was nudged by her teammates behind her. Reluctantly, she tilted her head back and whispered, "I cheated just now, I'm sorry. You really are the strongest novice mage."

Lotte didn't continue to provoke him at this moment, "After all, you're the one who sealed your magic to fight me, so it's inevitable that you won't be able to control your magic well."

Zefina's expression softened a bit at this point. She nodded and extended an invitation to Lott, "Let's go then."

"Go? Where to?"

“The Reinhardt family,” Zefina said, looking at Chloris. “When are you two getting married?”

Chapter 94 Chloris: Sister, he doesn't love me

Chloris asked somewhat awkwardly, "What wedding?"

"Why are you being shy now? Didn't you just tell me you liked Lott?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Then we'll hold your wedding tomorrow."

"So fast? Shouldn't we do some investigation or something?"

"Take your time with the investigation, there's no rush. We can deal with it later if we find anything wrong. Let's get married first."

Chloris blushed and quietly pulled Zephyna away to a distance.

"Cloris, what are you doing? Just say what you want to say."

“Um… I meant I like Lott.” Chloris turned to look at Lott, “but I didn’t say Lott likes me.”

"..."

Zefina stared at Chloris for a long while before uttering a few words: "You're kidding me? I took your punches for nothing?"

If it weren't for the possibility that Lot might become a member of the Reinhardt family in the future, Zephyr wouldn't have been willing to seal her own magic and play along with Lot's antics.

Moreover, Lotte punched Zefina in the face. Under normal circumstances, Zefina would have killed Lotte long ago. Why was she being so polite?

“I wasn’t playing a trick on you,” Chloris explained. “Look, I came to you and told you I liked Lott, and then I said Lott was very strong, and then you wanted to have a match with Lott, right? When did I ever say I was going to marry Lott?”

Zefina paused for a moment, feeling that something was off.

This isn't right, is it? What was the point of all that work?

Does the picture boost Lotte's confidence?

“Chloris, is there any man who wouldn’t like you?” Zefina lifted Chloris’s chin, scrutinizing her closely. “So, as the young lady of the Reinhardt family, you’re pursuing Lotte, and constantly being rejected by him, right?”

In the sunlight, Chloris's amber eyes were as alluring as honey, and her fair skin and delicate face would definitely make any man fall in love.

Zefina had to admit to herself that among the 14 children, Chloris was the prettiest, and could easily be a princess.

How could someone like Chloris actively pursue a man and then be rejected by him?

"right."

“I don’t believe it,” Zefina said. “I’ll go ask Lott.”

"Sister! How could you ask Lott about something like this?"

“Do you know how outrageous Lott is? He defeated me, a novice mage at the time, with just one spell. And he held out against me for a long time with his shield. His mana reserves are also outrageous. He can even run as fast as a rabbit. He can also use a sword, and his fist strength is about the same as a mid-level warrior.”

"Sister, why are you speaking well of Lott?"

"I want you to manage."

Unable to obtain Lotte, Zefina's mindset changed once again.

How could such a talented person not be used by the Reinhardt family?

Zefina walked up to Lotte, squatted down, and sat beside him, her voice softening, "Lotte, if you don't like Chloris, fine. We have 12 children in our family, you can choose any boy or girl you like."

Chloris panicked, "Sister! How can you advise someone like that?! Lott doesn't like men."

“Is that so?” Zephyr scratched her face and continued to say to Lotte, “Or you can marry my useless sister, and then you can go out and mess around, and marry other people as well. You are a member of the Reinhardt family, that’s enough.”

Chloris sat down, covering her head. "Sister, have you ever been in a relationship?"

"Huh? I don't have time."

"You should ask Lott if he likes me first. Not all men are like Father."

"So that's not it?"

Zefina looked at Lotte, "Anyway, that's the gist of it. Chloris likes you too. Although she has some silly adventure dreams, she's not a bad person. She's very caring, good-looking, and will have a bunch of kids in the future..."

Chloris covered Zefina's mouth, signaling her to stop talking.

Although Lott couldn't see Chloris's expression, he could see her trembling ears and her constantly twitching shoulders.

“Chloris is a good girl,” Lott said. “We need to get to know her better. Don’t worry, Sister Zefina, I’ll team up with Chloris.”

"Team up? Are you guys still going to play the adventurer's game?" Zefina looked at Lotte and said, "Lotte, are you an adult this year?"

"Ah."

"To be honest, you're in a very, very dangerous situation right now. I admit you're very talented, but if you stay here with Chloris any longer, your future will be ruined."

Why?

"The difference between mages is huge. Most mediocre mages can only stay in the first-tier profession their whole lives, while the smart ones can rise to the second-tier profession. Mages rely not only on magic, but also on knowledge. Have you been to school?"

“I haven’t attended any classes. But I have read some related magic books.”

“Books alone are not enough,” Zephyr shook her head. “Magic is a systematic theoretical system. You need to master countless knowledge to understand magic and spells. You must go to school and receive systematic training. Only when you have enough knowledge can you cast fourth-circle magic, otherwise you will never be able to use it in your life.”

Lotte frowned slightly. He had thought that once he obtained the fourth-circle magic, he could return to the simulation world and save Isolde, but he did not expect that the fourth-circle magic would have restrictions on its use.

This is not Lotte's fault. The book "Los Weskin Basic Arcane" that Isolde gave him only covered the basics, namely magic of the 1st to 3rd levels.

Zefina said, "The third level of magic is the dividing line. The more levels there are, the harder it is to control. Even if you learn magic, without sufficient knowledge and theoretical foundation, the probability of successfully casting a spell will be very low. Mages rely not only on magic, but also on their brains."

Chloris chimed in, "Lotte and I will go to the capital someday too."

“And then?” Zefina turned to look at Chloris. “Then you go to school and leave Lott alone at home? Lott is already an adult. Unless our Reinhardt family vouches for him, how can he get into school? Ordinary magic academies simply won’t accept him.”

Zefina stood up and said to Lotte, "If you don't have enough knowledge, you'll only ever be a second-tier professional. I just can't bear to see your future ruined. As long as you agree to marry Chloris, our family will give you the best resources."

Of course, the large family wouldn't completely accept Lotte without their consent; they would conduct an investigation into Lotte that would last for several years.

But they will definitely be satisfied with the final investigation results. Lotte, a commoner son-in-law with no background, is the easiest to manipulate and also the most ambitious.

“Lotte, you won’t get a proper education if you stay here. The choice is yours.”

Lott looked at Chloris, who was looking down at her palm.

Zefina's words always gave Lotte the illusion that he could actually marry Chloris.

But Lott knew that this was just a trick he and Chloris had conspired to use against Zephyr.

"Sorry, please give me some time to think about it."

Marrying into a large family is not a good option.

Putting aside the daily infighting among Chloris's 13 siblings, once someone like Lotte, with no background, accepts the family's support, he will be forever bound to the family's interests.

That means they will completely lose their freedom.

If Lotte had already become a calamity and then entered the great family, the situation would be completely different.

Moreover, Isolde's Deduction World will open in half a month, and even if he agrees to Zefina's request, he won't have time to learn the corresponding knowledge.

Therefore, only by deducing the world can this problem be solved.

Lotte looked at Fafnya's calculation of the world's countdown on the panel, and wondered whether he should attend a magic academy in this world to learn about magic theories 200 years in the future.

"Lotte, is this your answer?"

"Ah."

Zefina nodded, took out her staff, and, to the astonishment of Chloris and Lotte, cast a spell on Lotte.

Chapter 95 After Zefina returned, she bought a bottle of medicine.

Realizing what was happening, Chloris immediately hugged Lott, pushed him to the ground, and shielded him with her body.
