章節 25: Turns Out, This Lizard Isn't a Natural Talent After All
Once, for the last time.
Repeatedly warning himself in his mind.
Sethe slowly lowered his body, resting his round head gently on the girl's thighs that were close together.
To this sudden closeness, Cecilia's eyes revealed a smile.
Have things returned to normal? It seems she doesn't intend to continue being at odds with me.
With both hands embracing the round head, Cecilia bent down, resting her cheek against Sethe's head.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Quietness, feeling a peace he had never experienced before.
This time, Sethe's mind didn't produce any inappropriate thoughts; he simply enjoyed this feeling of peace.
"Oh? There's a bridge over there."
"It looks like there are people on the bridge."
"Seems to be a contract worker."
With their conversation, three sets of footsteps quickly approached.
Three teenagers dressed as adventurers, one girl, and two boys. The girl held a plain novice staff in her arms and wore leather armor. The other two boys, one carried a shield on his back, and the other carried a bow and arrows.
Sethe heard the approaching footsteps.
Each step felt like it was treading on his heart.
Sensing Sethe's movement in her arms, Cecilia gently stroked Sethe's head with her palm and whispered in his ear.
"It's okay, I'll always be by your side, Sethe."
Her gentle voice seemed to carry a magical power, directly calming the strange emotions rising in his heart.
Feeling Sethe relax in her arms, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Sethe hadn't reached that point yet.
In every race, some individuals are evil. The same goes for monsters; they are called ferocious beasts. Unlike the monsters willing to abide by ancient contracts, ferocious beasts attack the intelligent races because they all possess magic power, making them the most cost-effective food in the eyes of ferocious beasts.
"Hello~"
Cecilia slowly raised her head, looking at the three adventurers walking onto the wooden bridge.
Seeing the girl on the bridge raise her head, the breathing of the two boys beside her stagnated.
She was beautiful, too beautiful. Her small cherry lips, delicate nose, and a pair of unforgettable deep blue eyes seemed to contain the gentleness to embrace all things. Her shoulder-length blue hair was like silk, and her fair skin glowed faintly in the sunlight, dreamlike.
The girl holding the staff glared fiercely at the two embarrassed guys beside her, but there was no response.
However, the girl sitting on the wooden bridge was indeed beautiful, at least the most beautiful she had ever seen. Especially those deep blue eyes, the gentleness inside seemed to embrace all things.
It made people can't help but want to get closer to her.
"Excuse me, can we pass through this bridge?"
"Yes, please go ahead."
Cecilia replied calmly, her voice lacking the tenderness she showed to Sethe.
Compared to the intelligent races, she preferred the cute monsters.
Monsters have pure and innocent hearts, while the intelligent races...
"Thank you~"
The girl bowed her head in thanks, then glanced at the two unreliable guys beside her.
"Ah! Xi, why are you stepping on me?"
"Stop nagging, let's go."
One hand pulling each of them by the ear, the girl passed directly through the wooden bridge.
"Let go, we can walk by ourselves."
"Hmph!"
The laughter of the teenagers gradually faded away.
The wooden bridge once again returned to peace.
Cecilia slowly leaned her side face back on Sethe's head.
"Alright, Sethe, you don't need to accompany me. Let's meet again in a week."
The girl waved to the red lizard standing upright on the bridge pier, and the corresponding red lizard responded with its chubby right paw waving.
"Ang~"
Cecilia's figure gradually moved away until it was covered by the trees in the forest path.
This time, Cecilia only stayed with him for one day.
Withdrawing her gaze, Sethe walked towards the tree house.
It wasn't dark yet, just dusk.
Climbing back up from the tree roots to the tree house.
The inside of the tree house was as simple as ever, with a rudimentary small wooden table he made himself and an exquisite cushion nest. However, there was an exquisite bookshelf in the corner of the tree house, which was the gift Cecilia brought him this time.
Walking to the bookshelf, looking at the rows of books.
His gaze wandered, finally settling on a black leather book on the third-to-last row.
"Understanding Monsters: A Basic Guide"
He raised his claw to try to pull the book from the shelf but couldn't reach it.
Raising his claw, after two or three attempts, he barely managed to reach it.
Holding the book, Sethe walked to the doorway of the tree house. The door of the tree house was open, the only source of light in this dark tree house.
At the doorway of the treehouse, Sethe squatted down, grasped the book, and opened the first page.
[If you want to understand monsters, the first thing you need to know is the relationship between monsters and our intelligent races.]
Like reading a story, Sethe slowly immersed himself in the feeling of reading.
Until he saw the contents of the book.
[Since their birth, monsters have been blessed by the world and granted the Circle of Grace, with each ring representing the future potential limit of the monster.]
[Bronze rank: 1st to 2nd ring, Silver rank: 3rd to 4th ring, Gold rank: 4th to 5th ring, Rank: Low rank: 6th ring, Middle rank: 7th ring, High rank: 8th to 9th ring, and the Legendary 10th ring of the supreme rank (Note: This kind of existence should be treated as a legend. The life goddess worshipped by the elves and the radiant goddess worshipped by our human race are all supreme beings, and such beings are impossible to contract with intelligent races and no one has ever contracted with them.)]
After reading this page, a curiosity arose in Sethe's heart.
What bloodline did he have?
As a reincarnator, he shouldn't be lacking in any way.
But if he wasn't lacking, she wouldn't have abandoned him directly after he hatched.
[It is very simple to check the Circle of Grace of a monster, just guide the monster to inject magic power into its heart, which will trigger its own Circle of Grace.]
Inject magic power into the heart?
Let's try it.
The vertical pupils of the red lizard sitting at the doorway of the treehouse slightly condensed, and Sethe slowly closed his heavy eyelids.
Guiding the threads of magic power in his body to inject them little by little into his heart.
The red lizard sitting on the treehouse gradually lit up with a red light enveloping its whole body.
Red dots of light surrounded the waist of the red lizard and slowly gathered into a fiery red ring. If you look closely, you will see some crooked runes engraved on the ring.
Slowly opening his eyes and lowering his head, Sethe saw only a ring circling his waist.
Turns out, this lizard isn't a natural talent after all.
This wasn't an unexpected result, considering that he was abandoned right after hatching, but confirming it now still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
