The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 167: Lovestruck Brains Are Great


Xia Lin slightly organized her words and then said, "Generally, normal citizens have the opportunity to apply for a free test using the Biphasic Potion at the age of five, but it's clear that Aiman, due to his miserable experiences, has never had this opportunity."

"Just at that time, Eira got interested and bought a bottle of Biphasic Potion locally for Aiman to use."

"And then surprisingly discovered that Aiman actually possesses a Demon Source."

"The status of a Mage goes without saying; you could say Aiman has effectively risen to great heights in one step."

"At that time, Aiman was filled only with gratitude and affection for Eira, seeing as she was the only person who ever showed him kindness and helped save him from misery since his birth. He had Eira's image in his eyes."

"Thus, he made a request to Eira, asking if he could work for her part-time in the capacity of a Mage."

"Judging by the entourage surrounding Eira and her spontaneous purchase of half a convoy of slaves with a wave of her hand, he knew Eira must be someone of great importance."

"However, since he had been confirmed to possess a Demon Source and would soon become a Mage, wasn't it still fitting for him to work for Eira as a Mage?"

"At the time, Eira was amused upon hearing this, and after some thought, she instructed a Top Tier Mage among her guards to take Aiman in as an apprentice."

"In face of Eira's favor, the Top Tier Mage agreed."

"Following this, Aiman then formally settled into the manor of Marquis Anlute with that Top Tier Mage."

"After moving into Marquis Anlute's manor, Aiman exhibited an extremely extraordinary talent, reaching the Low Tier Mage level from a Mage Apprentice in just half a month."

"Thereafter, in only two months, he advanced from the Low Tier Mage level to the Middle Tier Mage level."

Hearing this, Fang Ka was no longer composed.

What the hell kind of Demon Source is this? This is downright ridiculous.

Compared to the timeline for breakthroughs depicted in books for ordinary Mages, Fang Ka considered himself quite fast, thinking of himself as a genius, only to discover that there's someone entirely beyond the norm.

Had he a better grasp of Soul Magic, Fang Ka might have contemplated possessing this person's body to monopolize his Demon Source.

However, Fang Ka suddenly recalled something.

While he couldn't possess a body through soul shift, he could use a player to realize this idea.

All he needed was to kill Aiman, turn him into an Undead Skeleton, and then find a player to occupy his body and inherit his exceptional Demon Source.

The only drawback perhaps would be that his current Top Tier Mage Perfection level means all his strength dissipates directly.

After all, the transformation magic of the Undead Skeleton merely seizes the Demon Source of the deceased, meaning it only inherits potential, while the person's strength dissipates upon death.

However, if he couldn't fully control Aiman, finding a player to inherit his potential was also a viable option.

He snapped back to reality slightly and continued looking towards Xia Lin, signaling her to go on.

"After reaching the Middle Tier Mage level, his extraordinary talent caught the attention of many high-level Elves."

"Upon learning that Aiman was a slave saved by his daughter, Marquis Anlute immediately regarded Aiman as one of his own and started frantically investing resources for his focused cultivation."

"Aiman was thrilled about this, as the significantly improved status at Marquis Anlute's allowed him more opportunities to interact with Eira."

"During their interactions, Eira found that they shared many views, and talking with Aiman always made her very happy."

"Consequently, she increasingly enjoyed proactively engaging with Aiman, and their relationship began to heat up rapidly, unbeknownst to anyone."

"By the time Eira realized something was wrong between her and Aiman, she found herself unable to extricate herself, but her rationality told her she couldn't be with Aiman, due to either status or lineage."

"The two were destined not to love each other, so she began deliberately reducing her interactions with Aiman, which made him realize his true feelings for Eira."

"He then started thinking of solutions but found there was no good approach."

"Marquis Anlute loomed over him like a great mountain, not to mention that being with Eira would not only touch Marquis Anlute's bottom line but also that of the other Elf Royal Family members."

"He couldn't come to terms with it and didn't know how to handle his feelings."

"After another six months, he successfully reached the High Tier Mage level. During this time, he had less contact with Eira, which made him more and more depressed, with only meditation to pass the time."

"It was then that something happened: Eira found Aiman, telling him that Marquis Anlute and the Elf King had decided to betroth her to the Elf King's second son."

"This news hit Aiman like a world collapse, and he could no longer suppress his feelings, confessing his true emotions to Eira."

"At this point, Eira could no longer hold back her emotions and ultimately decided to persuade Marquis Anlute to refuse this marriage."

"As expected, they were unable to persuade him, so she found Aiman again and decided to abandon everything and elope with him."

"Thus, the two devised a detailed escape plan. After some time spent stabilizing the situation, simultaneously confusing everyone, they began preparing for their escape, and then initiated their escape operation."

"Their destination was the Chaotic Sea Domain, as it's a place into which no major power can deeply intervene."

"Along the way, Aiman, using the Magic Array learned from that Top Tier Mage to conceal Knight Battle Energy, managed to flee to the Chaotic Sea Domain without a hitch, later hiding on that island."

"Later on, Aiman used his Wood Magic to grow large numbers of giant trees on that island as a temporary dwelling place."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka was slightly stunned, not knowing what to say.

He felt like these two were somewhat consumed by love, one being an incomparably prestigious Little Princess and the other an exceptionally talented young prodigy with boundless potential.

If they could put aside their feelings for each other, they'd undoubtedly both soar to the apex of life in the future.

However, on second thought, matters of love, once deeply tangled, seem unlikely for anyone to truly emerge unscathed.

"Love-struck fools are well, love-struck fools are well indeed, in that case…" Fang Ka shifted his gaze to Eira: "As long as I gain complete control over her, wouldn't that mean complete control over Aiman?"

"Nonetheless, I should make a few more preparations to ensure everything is stable."

Fang Ka silently stood aside, looking at the unconscious pair, then gestured to Noel: "Noel, wake them both up."
