What if you ascend to the wrong world?

With Fina's status, what kind of extraordinary professionals wouldn't she meet?

Ironically, having someone by your side effectively prevents 'puppetization'.

If there's anything that sets him apart from ordinary extraordinary professionals, it's probably this.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Lorne stood up, looking directly at her and saying:

"Stop following me."

He brought her along before because she couldn't even handle a first-tier magical beast, and Lorne was worried that she wouldn't survive after arriving on Sky Island.

That's why I spent some time getting to know her.

but now……

They learned that Fina was not an ordinary elf, but the successor to the Elf Queen, and that she had some very troublesome matters on her side, even involving the "Secret Sword of the Ultimate Path"!

This is his biggest secret!

Moreover, to put it bluntly, he is just a first-tier, fourth-level secret swordsman. He may be a little stronger than others of the same level, but the strength is limited.

Getting involved in this kind of thing...

They probably won't even know how they died!

"Why?" Fina seemed puzzled.

Seeing the wariness in Lorne's eyes, he quickly began to explain.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, but this curse is contagious; the more you know, the easier it is to be affected..."

As Fina explained, Lorne felt his thoughts slowing down, his joints stiffening, and the texture of wood appearing on his skin.

However, this change stimulated the secret power flowing within his body.

As the speed of the secret energy circulation suddenly increased, a cool sensation surged from the depths of his heart and instantly spread throughout his body.

The woody texture on the skin's surface quickly faded, and the sluggish, rigid thinking instantly cleared up.

"stop!"

Lorne quickly called for a stop.

Fina paused, looked up at him, and blinked.

"Now you believe me, right?"

"..."

Lorne didn't reply immediately. Instead, he looked down and moved his wrists to make sure the stiffness was completely gone before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, don't come looking for me again."

Just a vague explanation caused him to change like this, almost as much as when he first obtained the "Secret Sword of the Ultimate Path"!

Lorne's desire to stay away from Fina grew stronger.

“But I’ve already explained it to you,” Fina said, increasingly puzzled.

“Your problem is complicated, and I don’t want any more trouble,” Lorne said bluntly. “Consider the identification document as payment for what I did for you before; we’re even now.”

All he wants now is to earn some money to buy materials to nourish Aunt Una's soul and strengthen it in preparation for her resurrection.

Then he turned to leave.

Ten gold coins!

Lorne paused in his tracks.

"I'll give you ten gold coins, let me follow you!" Fina said eagerly.

The Queen and her people are still fighting the disaster, and she needs to stay as clear-headed as possible, so she must stay with Lorne, who can help her suppress her 'puppetification'.

Because the sound was quite loud, everyone around turned to look.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Lorne was a mixture of envy and jealousy.

No!

Who is this kid? He's got an elf who'd be willing to spend money to stay by his side.

"..."

Lorne hesitated.

Ten gold coins...

For a first-tier extraordinary professional, this is already considered a 'high salary'.

Even with his current identity document, he still doesn't have much of a competitive edge on Sky Island, especially as a pure combat specialist.

After a while...

"I will not agree to any of your conditions."

"Yes! Just let me follow you."

As she spoke, Fina took out a heavy little bag and handed it over.

"This is today's."

today?

Lorne paused.

So, ten gold coins doesn't refer to weekly wages, but daily wages?!

Many people around were completely bewildered.

Some even doubted they were dreaming.

Scam!

This is definitely a new scam tactic!

……

……

noon.

Daphne's private workshop.

Daphne, who had just returned from a meeting, was holding a fist-sized, pale gold sphere in her hand, the very one Ye Tu had given her yesterday.

After returning home last night, she also studied the lost extraordinary heritage.

The harvest was considerable.

For her now, advancing to the twelfth rank and becoming a transcendent professional at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm is only a matter of time.

She even gained insights into the realm of 'demigods'.

but……

"The president is almost here..."

After she revealed the lost extraordinary heritage at today's meeting, the president underwent a complete transformation.

Having previously grasped the "Basic Magic Refining Method," his path to godhood was already nearing completion.

Now, in addition to the lost transcendental system.

It probably won't be long before the Mage Association becomes number one...

Do not!

The second demigod-level mage is about to be born.

Lost in thought, she had already reached the window.

Even the president needs so much help to perfect his path to godhood.

Irene Vitte's mother...

How did she manage to become the first demigod mage after the Age of Gods?

As she gazed out the window, her feelings grew increasingly complicated.

After a while, she looked down at the pale golden sphere in her hand and saw that the light veins within it were intertwined, conveying endless information.

Close your eyes.

Meditate according to the methods mentioned in "Basic Magic Refining Method" and perceive the surrounding magical environment.

Fiery, cold, light, heavy...

Different types of magic manifested as points of light of different colors in Daphne's perception, drifting aimlessly in the void.

Amidst the dense clusters of light, wisps of extremely fine air currents, like wisps of smoke and clouds, drifted by.

Unlike any known magic.

Ok?

This is...

Before she could explore further, a stirring from the depths of her soul pulled her out of her meditative state.

Suddenly, a letter appeared before her, floating silently in mid-air. The envelope bore an emblem composed of green leaves, a crown, a bow, and a sword.

This is……

A letter from the Elf Queen?

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Ye Tu leaned back in his chair, holding a slightly bent mirror about the size of his palm.

Lust knelt beside him, head bowed, appearing utterly submissive.

Irene Wet was practicing her swordsmanship, a chilling aura emanating from her.

The maid was also there, kneeling on the other side of Ye Tu like a lustful woman.

But after Ivia sent her a message, she hesitated for a while before leaving.

If nothing unexpected happens...

It should be to 'appreciate' the animated images that Ivy spent a lot of money to create.

Congratulations, great master!

As if grasping at a straw, the Omniscient Magic Mirror quickly revealed a line of text on its hazy blue surface.

The world has taken another step in the direction you hoped for.

All morning, the outsider kept asking it questions that would kill it if it answered them.

After a moment's hesitation, the outsider made his move.

My body, which I had finally managed to repair last night, hadn't even had a chance to recover before it was bent over again.

It's caught in a dilemma: whether to answer or not...

"You felt it too?" Ye Tu looked at the mirror.

Yes, great master, what is this extraordinary power?

"Spiritual energy".

Ye Tu raised his other hand, and a wisp of primordial spiritual energy swirled between his five fingers, light, ethereal, and unpredictable.

This is the first wisp of spiritual energy born after the world accepted the 'immortal path'.

He noticed the change immediately and acted on it.

To some extent, this wisp of spiritual energy represents the fortune of the 'Immortal Path' in this world. The beings that obtain it will become the 'Chosen Ones' favored by the 'Immortal Path' in this world.

[Spiritual energy?]

Ye Tu didn't say anything.

This mirror is indeed extraordinary.
