nHowever, Lei Luo did not notice Wei’s strange feelings. He only felt that this girl was very persistent and worth nurturing.

n

n

nIn the future, if he left the Faroe Kingdom and groomed Wei into the next invincible ultimate mage, he would have left a powerful guardian for the Faroe Kingdom.

n

n

n

n

nAfter living in the capital for more than twenty years, it was impossible to say that he did not have feelings,

n

n

n“Senior, my father is sick again. He has aged so fast that his hair has turned white.”

n

n

nAfter seeing the king return to the library, Wei’s strong eyes were filled with tears.

n

n

nLei Luo sighed and said, “Growth, aging, and death are the most common things in the human world. They are also things that must be experienced. Even the king, the general, and the marquis can not avoid it.”

n

n

n

n

nHe had seen the king’s aging.

n

n

nIf there were no accidents, another year and the king’s lifespan would end.

n

n

nWei’s sparkling eyes looked at Lei Luo and said in a pleading tone, “Senior, you must be able to do something, right?”

n

n

nIn the four years in the library, her cultivation had improved as fast as paper blowing in the wind. She was now a level-9 mage. This kind of cultivation speed was simply unbelievable.

n

n

n

n

nAlthough it had a lot to do with the fact that she was a princess of the royal family and did not lack cultivation resources, the magic codex was top-notch, and her talent was not bad, it was still very fast.

n

n

nPrince Ling, who had been cultivating at the same time as her, was now only a level-6 mage, three levels lower than her.

n

n

nShe knew that the reason for all this was due to her senior.

n

n

nShe even had a very hard-to-believe conjecture—Could her senior be that mysterious pseudo-ultimate mage?

n

n

nLooking at Wei’s weak and helpless cry, Lei Luo’s heart softened.

n

n

nHe could harden his heart to anyone.

n

n

n

n

nBut facing this little girl who had grown up and lived with him for four years, he really couldn’t bear it.

n

n

n“Your Highness, I’m just a student sweeping the floor in the Library of Hiro Magic Academy. How can I have such great ability? You’d better wipe your tears,” Lei Luo said as he handed over a handkerchief.

n

n

nWei took the handkerchief and wiped her face.

n

n

nShe didn’t say anything else.

n

n

nPerhaps she was thinking too much.

n

n

nHow could senior Lei Luo be an invincible pseudo-ultimate mage?

n

n

nEven if he was, he might not be able to save her father.

n

n

nIn the next few days, there wasn’t much of a smile on Wei’s face. It was as if she was in a state of depression. However, she didn’t slack off in her magic practice at all. Instead, she worked even harder than before.

n

n

n

n

nIn the blink of an eye, another few months passed.

n

n

nThe king’s health was getting worse. He was often sick in bed.

n

n

nThe seventeen-year-old Prince Ling began to step up to the stage and take charge of everything in the Faroe Kingdom for his father.

n

n

nAfter a few years of growth, Ling had already acquired the necessary qualities to become a king.

n

n

nWei would go to the king’s bedroom every day to sit with him. However, she did not relax her magic practice.

n

n

nIn a short period of frugality, Wei had changed a lot, hiding a lot of things in her heart.

n

n

n“Senior Lei Luo, I used to think that I could repeat my life every day, without any worries, without thinking about anything, without caring about anything. But now, I finally understand… It turns out that all of this is because my father is protecting me from the wind and rain. My father is sick, very sick. I’m really worried that my father will leave me, what will I do then… Sometimes, I think that it would be great if I never grew up.”

n

n

nOn this day, it was as if Wei had confided in Lei Luo for a long time.

n

n

nShe hesitated for a moment, then slowly entered Lei Luo’s arms, her face pressed against his chest.

n

n

nSensing Wei’s sadness, Lei Luo did not speak. He just let her hug him and listened quietly.

n

n

n“However, I have thought it through now. Since I can not save my father, I will continue to work hard and continue to practice magic to become a truly powerful mage. In the future, I can protect my mother, protect my brother, and protect the Faroe Kingdom. This is my lifelong goal.”

n

n

nHer tone was very calm, and her gaze became firm.

n

n

nAt this moment, Lei Luo could keenly feel that the spirit of Wei in his arms had been refined.

n

n

n

n

nThe magic power in her body had also become more active.

n

n

nSensing this, Lei Luo sighed in surprise. He had not expected that the changes in her spirit during this period of time had actually allowed her to touch the barrier of an elemental mage.

n

n

nIn other words, when Wei broke through to become an elemental mage, she basically would not encounter any obstacles. As long as she accumulated enough magic power, she would be able to completely step into the realm of an elemental mage.

n

n

nLei Luo estimated that in less than half a year, it would be enough.

n

n

n…

n

n

nLate that night in the king’s bedroom.

n

n

nThe king was lying on the bed. His face was old and his hair was white.

n

n

nHe was not even forty years old, but he looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

n

n

nBeside the bed, Queen Lina was already sleeping on her stomach. She was wearing a cloak.

n

n

nEver since the king had been taken seriously ill, she had been by his side. She had also lost a lot of weight. Their relationship was very deep.

n

n

nWhen the King ascended the throne, he had never married another woman. This was extremely rare in the Faroe king, and even in the entire history.

n

n

nJust then, the door slowly opened, and a figure walked in.

n

n

nIt was not a maid or a mage guarding outside.

n

n

nIt was a distorted and blurry figure.
