You are all my wings!

Leon raised an eyebrow. He had just finished reading it and hadn't even made a move yet, and she immediately asked him if he had finished reading it. Her observation skills were something else.

It's safe to say that he's the most intelligent character in the four-part series.

"I've finished reading it. I have no reason to refuse Miss Langley's request. I happen to have some free time today, so let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a message appeared on the panel.

[Establish a basic connection with the character Terena Michel Hoynpis]

Age/Life Expectancy: 6/32

[Plot Weight: s++]

[Potential Level: S++]

Current Level: 5

【主要属性：精神力10/生命力0.1/魔力量0/体力0.1/力量0.2/敏捷0.2】

[Basic contact has been established, unlocking Therina's personal side quest "A Brilliant Life"]

[Mission Details: Help Therina embrace the future with greater courage]

[Task Rewards: Increases maximum mental strength by 10; unlocks basic mechanical magic and basic spirit enchantment]

Wow, Therena actually started with a double S++ plot weight and talent, even though she was only active in the third part for a few years before dying quickly.

Lyon thought that the influence of the new magic was so great that even though Terena didn't live long, she still had a very high weight in the plot. It wasn't that she had a lot of screen time, but that she had a great influence.

In addition, Terena was born with such high mental strength from the start, second only to herself, which shows that her talent is indeed outstanding.

Unfortunately, she lacked magical talent and was forced to embark on the path of new-style magic.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. Leon went home, told Bisquie what to do, changed into a slightly more formal suit, and then closed the door.

Terena followed.

She had short legs and needed to walk very fast to keep up with Leon, but she didn't say anything coy like "wait for me" and just kept following him.

Leon didn't deliberately slow down to wait for her, because he knew that although Terena was withdrawn, she also had a strong personality.

I deliberately waited for her, but she thought I wasn't good enough.

In short, Terena is a very awkward person now, and even Leon doubts whether she has any emotional perception at all.

As we entered Colt Street, the autumn wind brought a chill and withered leaves. The sun cast a faint glow on the horizon, but the street remained dimly lit.

There were hardly any pedestrians at this time, and it was quite quiet.

Leon never spoke to Therena.

There was no praise, like, "Wow, you're amazing! You went to your grandfather's library to study all by yourself so early."

Without any concern, I asked, "Aren't you afraid something might happen to you, such a young child coming to see me all by yourself?"

We walked quietly, bypassed the next street, and arrived at Kairon's mansion.

That's right, Kayron's mansion is not far away.

Lyon rented this place nearby specifically for this day.

Leon remained silent until he entered the Cheron mansion safely and smoothly through her face and letters, before finally reaching the separate library in the mansion's annex.

What's interesting is that Therena didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him either. They completed the bloodline verification for the library without saying a word and entered it.

It wasn't until Leon finished flipping through several intermediate magic books and found an advanced fire magic book—

"You're a fourth-tier mage?"

Six hours have passed since they left Lyon's house, and both sides have been silent for a long time in the library.

It was midday, and Terena, as if she couldn't hold back any longer, finally spoke.

His youthful voice carried a feigned composure and indifference.

Lyon smiled slightly; the little girl had indeed taken the bait.

No matter how intelligent you are, your lack of experience is your biggest problem.

He didn't answer, glanced at Terena, and calmly continued flipping through the advanced magic book in his hand.

Chapter 241 You want to come into my house? My mother isn't here.

When Terenas saw that Leon did not answer, she gently gritted her teeth, then her expression returned to its usual calm and composed state as she continued reading.

Half an hour later, the maid brought the food.

It's mashed potatoes and stewed meat sauce.

Terena spoke again, her voice even colder than before:

Do you want some?

She stood at a long table in the corner of the library, away from the books, which was a special dining table, clearly showing signs of daily cleaning by maids.

Leon glanced at Terena's small body from afar, raised his hand to take out the fifth-tier powerful monster jerky he kept with him, gave it a brief indication, and then bit into his mouth.

Terena lowered her head and began to eat.

Leon continued to push her, explaining that she was pseudo-autistic, not born autistic.

They definitely have a desire to speak.

To activate someone's desire to talk, you don't necessarily have to talk to them a lot.

You can also stand in front of her without saying a word, allowing her to build up the emotional energy to speak.

Just like when someone with social anxiety has to talk to a stranger for some reason, they will inevitably go through a lot of internal struggle.

This struggle could be internal strife, or it could be the emotional energy that gives her an outlet for her words.

If you talk too much, the other person is more likely to get tired quickly.

According to Leon's judgment, Terena has inadvertently offended many people due to her exceptionally high intelligence. Coupled with the rumors surrounding her mother, she has witnessed countless subtle expressions of disgust and aversion from people.

Because of her high IQ, she has excellent observation skills and can easily detect countless subtle changes in how others treat her.

But because of low emotional intelligence, they can't understand why their words hurt others.

Because of their confusion and the frequent absence of elders like Langley and Karen, they chose to speak less.

This was Leon's judgment, but whether it was true or not was uncertain, because the Terena he knew in his previous life was an older version of herself who had undergone some changes.

But judging from Terena's current performance, it seems to be in line with her judgment.

So Leon continued eating monster meat while continuing to read the spellbook.

The library has a truly vast collection of magic books; just one floor contains many that are clearly from schools of magic other than human magic.

It's no wonder that Chiron has so many high-quality spells, just like the common, low-quality ones.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours had passed. The magic books he quickly flipped through were: Intermediate Fire Disaster, Intermediate Earth Steel Wall, Intermediate Water Flood, Intermediate Wind Gale, and Earth and Fire Dual-Element Porcelain Doll.

Disaster Fire was the spell he chose based on the two fire-type properties he currently possessed: [Blazing Melt] and [Gathering Heat Erosion].

It is derived from the mythical imagery of 'drought and hellfire', a magical concept recorded in historical records.

Compared to purely physical magic, this type of ancient magic, which originates from mythology, is better suited to match the characteristics of powerful monsters.

If the Hurricane Flame Bomb can achieve 50% of its two major advantages, then the Calamity Fire Bomb will be 99%.

As for other magic, since he hasn't mastered the characteristics of other magic types yet, he only picked out magic that could improve combat balance and convenience.

Earth-based steel walls and earth- and fire-based porcelain dolls are the magic of the dwarves, which are more hardcore and emphasize the manipulation of matter.

Water-based floods are a type of magic used by the orc subspecies, the merfolk.

Fortunately, the ice-reducing unicorn in his hand also contained this magical imagery, which he could use as a reference.

He learned the intermediate-level Gale Wind technique because he had previously experienced M'shifisu's Gale Wind combat skill and had a deep understanding of it. He also intended to learn more about it, as it was a magic evolved from the combat skill system of halflings.

These other schools of magic complement his magic system, allowing for a wider range of applications.

For advanced magic, he prioritizes Hurricane Flame Cannon, an upgraded version of Hurricane Flame Bullet, a mainstream human spell, which reduces the learning difficulty to some extent.

He memorized the spellcasting process and incantations for these spells.

As for magical imagery, the complexity of magical imagery for intermediate-level magic is not low, and he only roughly familiarized himself with it once.

After all, just reading about it doesn't mean you can quickly learn all these magical images.

To replicate this imagery into one's mind and form a 50% representation suitable for casting spells, it requires at least a period of continuous study and meditation practice.

The magical imagery of higher-level magic is more complex, and even with a perfect or intermediate level foundation, mastering it quickly is not an easy task.

He plans to go find Iris or Maggie before he comes here again to stack buffs.

This will be much more efficient.

Once you've mastered about 50% of these techniques and tested the pseudo-intermediate combination process, head straight to the Sacred Mural to accelerate your progress (because you only get a resonance response when you've mastered 50%).

Therefore, before the new action plan is released, he will most likely come to learn magic every day.

Theresa happens to be here too, so I can take the opportunity to win her over as well, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, he would never prey on underage children; that's a matter of principle.

The current strategy mainly involves building up her public image and basic favorability, then trying to resolve her issues to see if Terena can uncover the hidden mysteries within the mechanical magic ahead of time.

Just as Lyon was slowly taking stock of his day's gains, Terena spoke up again.

She had been standing on a chair, but she climbed down first and walked to a short distance in front of Lyon before speaking seriously.

"I'm leaving. Are you coming too?"

"Let's go."

Lyon nodded; this was the first time he had responded to Therena in more than fourteen hours since their first conversation.

Staying up from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. would have made other kids restless.

Terenas still had the patience to read through the magic books one by one, and only spoke to Leon three times. She was indeed an eccentric genius.

The two stepped out of the library, and the maid closed the door.

Once outside the library, darkness descended, and lights flickered dimly everywhere.

From the main house, the sounds of children playing and laughing could be heard, along with the loving yet stern voices of adults scolding. The sounds were muffled, as if filtered through a screen, due to the distance between them.

The passageway in front of the villa was quiet, with only the soft rustling of the wind through the grass.

There was no one else beside him except for the stern-faced middle-aged maid carrying an oil lamp.

Lyon was supposed to be accompanying her on this visit, but no one came to greet her, which just goes to show that Terena is not valued by her family.

Despite possessing such exceptional intelligence, this magical family deemed him to have no future simply because he lacked magical talent.

Fortunately, Chiron did not refuse her permission to come and go and look through the magic book.

If we refuse, the world may be heading towards its end prematurely.

"What are you looking at?"

Terena spoke again, this time her voice was cold, but with a hint of liveliness.

"Just browsing."

Lyon responded for the second time.

"Are you looking to see if anyone comes to say hello, or to see me?"

Terena responded quickly, seemingly having been held back all day, and Leon had successfully piqued her interest in talking.

Her words also stirred something in Leon's heart, realizing that she had noticed his observation of whether anyone was looking at Therena.

With so many female characters, very few would see through Leon's hidden actions.

Because of his profession as a Shadow Walker and a con artist, and his instinctive habit of deception over the years, the female protagonists and various powerful figures often fail to see through his many hidden actions, let alone his true thoughts hidden in his heart.

All we can see is his performance of the intention he wants them to understand.
