Bab 9: The Contract with the Divine Beast
Alice's eyes sharpened, and she said firmly, "Grandfather, don't be impatient. One day, I will surely wipe out the Willie family completely!"
The old duke Alva, who had been extremely angry, was suddenly stunned when he heard such words.
"Alice..."
Alice said, "Grandfather, as you can see, I am now able to practice. I will strive to become powerful so that no one in the world dares to bully our Alva family again!"
Alva's eyes couldn't help but become a little moist. He sighed inwardly and raised his hand to gently pat Alice's slightly thin shoulder.
"Alice, you've grown up..."
Alice felt a sense of sourness in her heart. She nodded and said, "Alice has grown up and can protect grandfather, protect aunt, and protect the Alva family."
Alva glanced at Evelynn, who was lying on the bed and looking much better, and then said to Alice, "Come with grandfather to the study. Grandfather has something to tell you."
"Okay."
In the study of the Alva family.
Alva's figure was facing away from Alice, and his eyes were fixed on a portrait hanging on the wall. The portrait showed a handsome man and a beautiful woman looking at each other and holding hands, giving a sense of peaceful and beautiful years.
"Your father was a peerless genius. He broke through the level of apprentice magician at the age of four and reached the level of great magician at the age of twelve. At that time, I knew that his true cultivation level must not be made public. After all, a tall tree catches much wind. An outstanding person will always be envied and hated by others. Those who can't get or can't stand it will always try to destroy him."
"So, people in the Augustan Empire all thought that your father Erik was just an ordinary cultivator. When he was twenty years old, he brought back a beautiful girl and married her, and then you were born."
Hearing this, Alice looked up at the man and woman in the portrait and suddenly felt a sense of closeness.
Alva turned around and looked at Alice, sighing softly, "Your mother's name is not Alicia, but Cecilia. She told me that she came from the Thane family in the Central Spirit Continent."
Central Spirit Continent!
It was the Central Spirit Continent that was extremely difficult to reach across the sea?
Alva saw Alice's surprised expression, paused for a moment, and then continued, "The last time they left home was eleven years ago. Your father said that he would take Cecilia back to the Central Spirit Continent to propose marriage and give her a formal status."
"Isn't that sea area extremely dangerous?" Alice asked.
"Indeed, it is extremely dangerous." Alva nodded undeniably and then asked, "But do you know the cultivation levels of your father and mother?"
Alice shook her head, but she had a faint guess in her heart.
"Your father has already reached the level of Spiritual Lord, and your mother is even at the level of Spiritual Emperor!" Alva said with a slightly proud expression.
This cultivation level was even higher than Alice had expected.
The levels of strength are divided into apprentice magician, novice magician, magician, great magician, sorcerer, wizard, archmage...
And in the Eastern Continent, the highest level of cultivation is archmage.
Alva said, "The seal in your body is caused by the bloodline of your mother's family. After each newborn is born, he must go through a life-and-death test to loosen the seal, and only with the help of a strong person above the level of archmage to break the seal can the path of cultivation be opened."
The figure of Raven appeared in her mind. Sure enough, his strength was above that of archmage!
Alice briefly told Alva about how she broke the seal, omitting some details such as "The contract of sharing death together" and how Irina brutally killed the original owner.
She will surely avenge the original owner.
"Alice, you have really encountered a great opportunity!" Alva couldn't help but feel happy for Alice.
"It's just a pity that they haven't come back yet." Alva's voice was full of sadness, and his eyes flashed a few traces of loneliness.
"Grandfather, maybe they are delayed by something. When I become powerful, I will go and bring my parents back and let them repent in front of you. It would be best if they kneel for a few days and nights!"
"Hahaha..." The old duke was amused and laughed, "You naughty girl, you have so many tricks!"
With such banter, the dull and depressing atmosphere in the study dissipated a lot.
Alice told a few more jokes and made the old duke laugh heartily.
Until the old duke was tired and sleepy, Alice returned to her attic.
After returning to the attic, she took a comfortable bath and then lay down on the bed.
She took out the black bead, stared at it for a long time, and then put it back.
She had never forgotten the Willie family. The Willie family was one of the three major families in the Augustan Empire. The eldest son of the Willie family, Willie・sirui, was originally the fiancé of her aunt Evelynn.
Seven years ago, when they went to the Flaming Forest to practice together, aunt saved sirui and was poisoned and fell into a coma.
Soon after aunt was in a coma, sirui broke off the engagement with the Alva family.
At that time, grandfather was furious and rushed directly to the Willie family, seriously injuring sirui and breaking one of his legs. Finally, the emperor stepped in to settle the matter.
Since then, the Willie family and the Alva family have had a feud.
The Alva family has been declining in recent years. The military power has been taken away, and the shops of the Alva family have also been suppressed a lot by the Willie family.
If it weren't for grandfather's hard support, perhaps the entire Alva family would have ceased to exist.
Grandfather's strength is at the third level of sorcerer, which is already among the strong in the Augustan Empire.
According to what grandfather said, on the day she left, the second daughter of the Willie family, anna, came. anna said that she wanted to visit aunt.
Before aunt was in a coma, she was quite friendly with anna. Grandfather originally wanted to refuse.
But anna was very sincere and tearful. Grandfather, considering the friendship between her and aunt, allowed her to visit aunt.
Unexpectedly, anna had ulterior motives and tried to murder aunt quietly.
The Alva family had already forgiven sirui. Now the Willie family is still not giving up and trying to poison his daughter! How could grandfather not be furious?
Alice thought of this, and her black eyes were as cold as ice. What an ungrateful Willie family!
Suddenly, a faint "squeak" sound brought her back to her senses.
She stared warily at a small bulge under the bedding beside her.
She lifted the bedding, and a small furry ball like a snowball came into view.
Its glassy eyes were staring at her. Alice could almost clearly see her own figure in its pupils.
"Why is it you?" Alice was extremely surprised.
She had clearly left it behind. How could it follow her quietly!
"Squeak." The small furry ball raised its chin.
Alice: "..." She couldn't understand.
The small furry ball ran towards her. Its extremely short legs ran very fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, it reached the palm of her hand on the bed.
"Hiss!"
Alice was caught off guard and was bitten by it on the finger. She couldn't help but let out a soft cry of pain.
Suddenly, a strong white light filled the room and enveloped her.
The strong white light penetrated the roof and shot straight into the sky!
"In the name of the ancient divine beast White Tiger, I make a contract with you!"
A childish boy's voice entered her mind. A white contract formation appeared under her and the small furry ball and slowly rotated.
