Free Web NovelChapter 138: Chapter 60: Teacher Lucia! I Desire Power! I Want to Learn Magic
"Ahh~ So nice~"
Su Xuan walked out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed and relaxed from his bath.
"Wow~ Master washed me so clean~" freёwebnovel.com
Alice also twirled around happily, her voice filled with joy and satisfaction.
At Alice’s strong insistence, Su Xuan had relented and agreed to her request to bathe with her.
At the start of the bath, Alice showed how skillful her hands were. She carefully scrubbed every inch of Su Xuan’s skin, her touch gentle yet practiced, which put Su Xuan in an exceptionally good mood and allowed his body and mind to completely relax.
But when Su Xuan picked up the towel and soap, ready to wash his adorable Maid in return...
POOF!
Alice had suddenly turned into a cloth doll and fallen into Su Xuan’s arms.
Su Xuan was completely stunned. After all, he had never bathed a cloth doll, never taken a dress off a cloth doll, and certainly never used his fingers, slick with shower gel, to carefully wash every part of one...
Although the whole process was a bit awkward and strange, the end result was satisfying. Su Xuan washed Alice until she was sparkling clean, as if brand new.
Su Xuan said to Rosaline, "You can go wash up now."
"Mm."
Rosaline stepped into the bathroom, and soon, the sound of heavy armor clattering to the floor followed. Even though she was an Undead, she still liked to be fresh and clean, carefully washing each of her bones to ensure they were all polished to a brilliant shine, radiating a unique luster!
’A glowing Skeleton is so cool!’
As Su Xuan sat on the living room sofa, his gaze fell upon Lucia, who was lying on her side nearby. She was resting with her eyes closed, her head propped on her hand.
Her stunning sleeping posture left Su Xuan a little mesmerized. He thought to himself, ’Lucia seems to fall into this state often. She must be very busy normally, only able to snatch moments of rest when she can.’
Just as he was admiring her sleeping form, a gentle voice drifted over like a cool breeze.
"President, have you considered improving your own strength?"
Lucia slowly stirred, her golden-red eyes staring intently at Su Xuan from behind her white veil.
"Of course I have. I’m always trying to improve my strength, but progress is slow," Su Xuan answered honestly.
This was a common predicament for all Players; those without a Level tended to take on support roles in a team.
Of course, if Players on the Magic Continent could seize the right opportunities—like consuming Epic-quality or better Spirit Medicine to rapidly boost their Attributes, or learning powerful Swordsmanship or Magic—it was possible for them to become a team’s main combatants.
Beyond that, Su Xuan clearly remembered that a massive leap in power occurred once a Player was promoted to a C-Level rating and officially established a Guild.
Although it wasn’t a traditional Level-up, the system, which was similar to leveling, provided Players with significant Attribute bonuses.
"No, I mean you could learn some Magic from us," Lucia said softly, shaking her head. "If you’re willing, I can teach you some of the Bright Church Court’s Magic."
"Really? Can the Bright Church Court’s Magic be taught to outsiders?" Su Xuan asked curiously.
"The Magic of the Bright Church Court has never been a secret. As long as one’s heart yearns for the Light, anyone can learn Magic below the Super Tier," Lucia replied softly. "Of course, whether or not they can actually master it is another matter entirely."
Hearing this, Su Xuan’s eyes lit up!
"Then can you teach me some Magic, Lucia?" Su Xuan asked hopefully.
’Teacher Lucia, I want to learn Magic!’
"Of course."
Lucia slowly sat up. Her flawless, pale feet swept past Su Xuan’s vision before she placed them gently on the floor. "Normally," she explained, "to learn Divine Magic, you must first thoroughly read and memorize the doctrines of the Bright Church Court. However, I can allow you to skip that step."
As she spoke, Lucia took out a golden Holy Scripture.
[Holy Scripture of Light - Replica (Golden): A replica of the Bright Church Court’s Holy Scripture. It is a Dharma Artifact that increases Magic casting speed and power. Usable only by Bright Church Court professions.]
"A Golden Holy Scripture of Light?"
A look of surprise crossed Su Xuan’s face. He suddenly remembered that he had a blue Holy Scripture of Light in his bag. But compared to the blue one, the Golden Holy Scripture of Light’s effects were far more significant, and the Divine Magic it contained was much richer.
"This is for you," Lucia said, handing the Holy Scripture of Light to Su Xuan. "Once you’ve mastered the basic Holy Magic, I’ll teach you more advanced Magic."
"Okay." Su Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the Holy Scripture of Light in his hand as a wave of excitement washed over him.
’So rich and generous... Lucia is the best~’
Lucia glanced at the darkening sky outside. "It’s getting late, and I have other things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now."
Before leaving, she reminded him again, "Remember, don’t let anyone else see this Holy Scripture of Light, okay?"
Su Xuan nodded, understanding. The Golden Holy Scripture of Light was a rare treasure even within the Bright Church Court, so it naturally had to be hidden carefully.
"Mm~" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Lucia gave a soft smile, then elegantly stepped into the Teleportation Array.
Su Xuan watched her disappear, his eyes fixed on the spot. He mused to himself, ’I’ve seen two of Lucia’s personalities now. Only her cold-and-aloof and Lust traits have yet to appear.’
’I wonder what kind of surprises they’ll bring?’
Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, Rosaline finished her bath and walked out of the bathroom.
"Your... your clothes?"
Su Xuan froze for a moment. Rosaline wasn’t wearing any clothes; her graceful, fluorescent blue form was on full display before him.
"They were burned."
Rosaline replied, her expression blank.
Only then did Su Xuan notice that, for convenience, Rosaline had stored the Flame Magic Stone inside her own body.
He could see through her translucent Soul Body to the Flame Magic Stone glittering where her heart should be.
’Elemental Immunity really is Abnormal!’
"I’ll buy you some fireproof underwear!"
Su Xuan immediately bought a set of fireproof, high-temperature-resistant underwear for Rosaline. He really hadn’t anticipated this situation.
However, once Edith came to retrieve the Flame Magic Stone, many of these troubles would resolve themselves.
...
「In the blink of an eye, it was seven in the evening.」
Su Xuan sat in the Guild hall, engrossed in the Holy Scripture of Light. The basic Divine Magic within was enough to make his head spin; it was probably only slightly easier than advanced calculus.
However, being naturally gifted, he managed to learn one of the Magic spells in just a second.
The Lighting Technique!
Well, technically, it was the magical effect of his [Sunny and Cheerful] trait. It allowed his fingertips to emit light, a function nearly identical to the Lighting Technique!
As he was engrossed in studying the Holy Scripture of Light, he failed to notice countless vibrant Rose petals drifting down behind him.
As if in a daze, a subtle, elegant fragrance wafted into his nostrils. The exquisite temptation of the scent made Su Xuan’s body tremble. Then, a seductive voice whispered in his ear, "What are you looking at? You seem so captivated~"
