Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 571: Chapter 569: Daughter’s Return
 

Soul Power is remarkably unique in soothing hearts, effortlessly accomplishing it silently.

Truth be told, Sorcerer Ivan using Soul Power to soothe a little girl felt like using a cleaver to kill a chicken.

“Ivan, we need to talk about Lu Lubeidi; I think that’s precisely why you hurried to the Kemor Empire.”

Lu Lu Xiyu didn’t know this and seeing the father and daughter getting along harmoniously, she couldn’t help but interrupt the situation, directly addressing the crux of the matter.

“Betty’s?” The little girl tilted her head, looking back and forth between her mother and father.

“Betty, come to mom.”

“Okay.”

Hearing Lu Lu Xiyu’s words, although the little girl was reluctant, her body began to struggle and wriggle.

After Ivan put her down on the ground, she dashed back to Lu Lu Xiyu’s side.

“Ivan, I heard that your human kingdoms are currently amidst war, fraught with dangers, is that true?” asked Lu Lu Xiyu straightforwardly.

“Minor battles are indeed frequent,” Ivan expressed helplessly.

“Minor battles? Many races are up against your human race, to casually call them minor battles; surely, you can’t deny that they could evolve into a battle for racial survival at any time, right?”

“Eventually, there will be a resolution.”

“When? Five years, ten years, maybe twenty or thirty years, or even a hundred years.”

Lu Lu Xiyu scoffed at his statement and continued, “By stark contrast, under the protection of the Dark Night Mother Goddess, our Kemor Empire has not seen war for a long time, nor does anyone dare to easily provoke our Dark Night Elves. It wasn’t an issue in the past and won’t be in the future.”

Hearing this, Ivan fell silent.

Compared to the ancient Kemor Empire, the sorcerer world is akin to a rising new power that has been expanding its territory and vying for resources.

Now, it faces a formidable enemy meticulously targeting it.

The living environment of the sorcerer world is indeed not very promising, nowhere near the long-standing peace of the Kemor Empire.

“In the Imperial Court and the temple, you’ve been to both, guarded by many sacred trees, leaving Betty here would be very safe. Therefore, I hope you can abandon the idea of taking her away,” Lu Lu Xiyu urged while the iron was hot.

“Betty not leaving, bad man, father is a bad man, Betty doesn’t want to leave mom,” Betty cried out in panic upon hearing this.

Ivan naturally wouldn’t use any harmful methods on his own daughter; soul-soothing was merely a subtle influence, now it proved useless.

With Lu Lu Xiyu’s comforting, Lu Lubeidi calmed down, still exhibiting an unfriendly attitude towards her father.

“Don’t you want to be promoted to a lord level? It would take at least five to six years, if not harder to estimate,” Ivan asked another crucial question.

“I can help take care,” said Kolebas, quickly realizing her own weight might not be enough, she added, “and Saintess Jenny, Jenny you can always trust.”

“I think the High Priest’s suggestion is good, considering you’re stationed in the Underground World anyway. If you want to see Betty, you can always come here,” Lu Lu Xiyu immediately expressed her agreement.

She was already well prepared for her own promotion, only the arrangement for her daughter remained.

“One condition, once Betty is of age, if she wishes to follow the path of a sorcerer, you cannot obstruct her in any way.” After pondering for a moment, Ivan had made up his mind.

Even heavenly beauties like Tanaya could meet with mishaps; no matter how it’s explained, it can’t mask the risks inherent in the sorcerer world.

Since my daughter and her mother are both strongly opposed, there is no need to force taking her away. It’s all the same to have Jenny stay here and look after her.

However, he made a request.

“You agreed?”

Lu Lu Xiyu understood the implication and her beautiful eyes brightened. Knowing the sorcerer community as she did, she thought this was an extremely difficult thing to accomplish.

It turns out that Sorcerer Ivan is more open-minded than expected.

What she didn’t know was that Ivan wasn’t just a sorcerer, but also deeply influenced by the memories of another world, with some concepts distinctly different from ordinary sorcerers.

“Of course, I will not stop Betty, although your situation isn’t great, the power of sorcerers cannot be denied.”

“It’s a deal.”

“Saintess Jenny, High Priest, could you please accompany Betty for a while? There are some matters I’d like to discuss privately with Sorcerer Ivan.”

With business discussed, Lu Lu Xiyu cast a flirtatious glance at Ivan and then spoke seriously to the other two, handing her tightly held daughter to Kolebas, and hurriedly pulled Ivan away.

Her actions were so swift that Kolebas was left dumbfounded.

One moment it was like facing a great enemy, now it turned into this scenario; these two were simply unreasonable.

“What are mother and father doing? Why didn’t they take Betty with them?”

“——”

Not to mention how Kolebas explained it to Betty, on the other side, Ivan and Lu Lu Xiyu had a long chat until Lu Lu Xiyu was exhausted.

Lu Lu Xiyu knew she had been somewhat unscrupulous regarding Betty’s situation, and she wanted to make amends wherever possible.

In any case, aside from being a bit flirtatious, this man satisfied her in every other aspect, whether it was his talent, strength, or character, all were far superior to any man in the Kemor Empire.

“When I become the Kemor Empress, why don’t you come and be my prince consort? Your sorcerer world is constantly embroiled in war, what’s there to miss?”

“Speak such words when your strength surpasses this sorcerer.”

Faced with Lu Lu Xiyu bringing up old topics again, Ivan responded indifferently.

“Hmph! Just you wait.”

Lu Lu Xiyu felt her teeth itch in annoyance.

Reason told her that this possibility was almost negligible, as the man’s current strength said it all. But she still felt a bit defiant, thinking with the heritage of the Dark Night Elf Clan, there might be a chance to surpass him.

When that time comes, hmph, just obediently come and be the prince consort of the empire!

Not long after, Yuyue City held a grand celebration, celebrating Jenny becoming a lord-level powerhouse and her promotion to Dark Night High Priest, placing her status within the Dark Night Elf Clan equivalent to ‘Kemor Empress’.

From then on, Jenny’s status in the Kemor Empire was ‘second only to one.’

Above her was only the Dark Night Mother Goddess, even High Priest Kolebas had become her subordinate, demonstrating a perfect embodiment of the rule of strength.

Jenny’s authority in the Kemor Empire greatly increased, which made Ivan see another possibility; he was already considering establishing a second human settlement.

However, the long distance always remained an unsolved issue.

Ivan often thought, if the teleportation array could become a reality, travel anywhere would be much easier. Unfortunately, the teleportation array still remains a difficult problem, with research progressing slowly, hardly quenching the immediate thirst.
