Another encounter with this race? Li De's eyes narrowed as he looked at Spark, whose expression was filled with shock. Li De wanted to interrogate him thoroughly but refrained when he noticed more than ten curious gazes from the surrounding nobles. "What beautiful eyes, Lord Li De. Is this your apprentice?" "What a lovely girl." "Red eyes? Could she be from the humans far away in the Storm Sea? I’ve heard that some humans there are born with red eyes, which allow them to see clearly even deep underwater. It’s their innate talent, just like how blue-skinned people can withstand the cold." The nobles around weren’t surprised by Isha’s red eyes. These were well-traveled aristocrats who wouldn’t mistake someone for a demon or an evil race simply because of their eye color. Besides, so what if she were a demon? Not all evil beings are entirely worthless. The succubi among demons, for instance, are coveted by many nobles. In fact, a few here had even taken whips to those sultry succubi. They truly demonic, leaving them with sore backs for days. Under the gazes of those around her, Isha’s initially worried expression slowly grew confident. So not everyone thought she was a monster. Spark didn’t say anything further. After giving Isha a deep look, he turned to Li De. “Kachar, come with me. Everyone, thank you for your hospitality. We’ll meet again another time.” Hearing such an obvious dismissal, the group of nobles quickly exchanged pleasantries and left. A few even took the time to bid farewell to Li De personally. Once the nobles had climbed into their carriages and departed, Spark completely changed his demeanor. With a broad smile, he addressed Isha. “You’re called Isha? What a lovely name. I’m your teacher’s teacher—Spark. You can call me Grandpa Spark.” Isha could sense the genuine kindness in Spark’s heart, and her initial wariness eased slightly. She glanced at Li De, and upon receiving his approval, softly called out in her unique tone. “Grandpa Spark.” Hearing this, Spark’s face lit up with joy. “Ahh, such a good girl.” With that, he led the two of them into the White Tower. Li De’s original purpose for today was to resolve the shortage of magical materials for the mage tower in Dawn City. However, he hadn’t expected that Spark might know something about Isha’s origins, which made him feel like he’d stumbled upon an unexpected bonus. The Golden Bloodline was shrouded in mystery, and very few people knew much about it. Li De had sent Laurent to investigate Isha’s birth, but the information they gathered was sparse. Isha’s foster mother claimed she had found Isha on the road thirteen years ago while returning home. At that time, young Isha’s eyes hadn’t yet turned crimson; the mutation occurred when she turned ten. As for where exactly she was found, her foster mother had long forgotten. In this world, abandoning baby girls was tragically common, especially during the Month of Deep Winter. When families ran out of food, frozen infant corpses would appear on the streets daily. It was cruel and heartbreaking. “Teacher, do you know anything about Isha’s origins?” Once inside the White Tower, Li De immediately asked. Isha was too important. Her potential rivaled that of dragons. This was akin to Li De now owning a dragon hatchling. If raised properly, the rewards would be astronomical. “No, I don’t know.” “But—” “Boy, I truly don’t know. However, I can tell you that thirty years ago, in the eastern part of the Glory Main Plane, in the Storm Sea, I encountered humans with red eyes.” Spark’s voice carried a strange sense of nostalgia. “At that time, I hadn’t yet broken through to become a Grand Mage. That was the most powerful human I’ve ever seen—there was no one else like them.” “Perhaps we could refer to them as Dragon Hunters!” “That woman with red eyes hunted and killed two Transcendent-tier dragons in the Storm Sea.” “Yes, you heard correctly—hunted! Mighty dragons, towering beings, were slain like beasts by a single woman. The spells she used couldn’t even be resisted by dragon scales immune to Tier 4 spells. Those crimson eyes of hers left a deep impression on me—they’re identical to Isha’s.” “I’m certain they belong to the same race.” After hearing this, Li De felt a wave of astonishment. The world of Glory had many planes, but regardless of the plane, dragons stood at the apex of existence. These creatures, feared even by gods, were the epitome of power. For a human to hunt down two dragons—both reaching the Transcendent tier—the strength required was unimaginable. The Golden Bloodline lived up to its description: a force capable of shaking even the gods. Li De turned to look at the still somewhat naive little girl beside him, his eyes brimming with anticipation. Raising a little loli into a being capable of slaying dragons... The thought alone was exhilarating. Isha listened quietly without saying a word, but Spark’s words left a profound mark in her heart. So long ago, others with red eyes like hers had been strong enough to hunt dragons. Dragons were legendary creatures in human tales, so even with her limited experience, Isha understood their immense power. In her ruby-like eyes, a deep yearning quietly arose. She too wished to become that powerful. Thinking about it made her blush, and she stole a glance at Li De, her eyes filled with hope. “Do you know anything about her origins?” Spark shook his head regretfully. “At that time, I was far too weak to interact with someone so powerful. Perhaps that woman has already ascended to legend by now. Maybe when you grow stronger, you can visit the Storm Sea and investigate further. The place is called Storm Cape.” Though Li De felt a pang of disappointment, he wasn’t overly disheartened. Gaining even this small piece of information from Spark was an unexpected boon. He silently committed the location to memory, thinking that perhaps one day he’d have the chance to visit. After sharing a few more stories from his past, Spark shifted his attention to Isha. “Isha, would you like to come study magic with Grandpa Spark?” “Grandpa Spark is a Grand Mage, far stronger than your teacher.” Li De couldn’t help but chuckle at this. This old man really had no shame—he was practically trying to steal Isha outright. “No, Grandpa Spark, I want to stay with my teacher.” Isha didn’t hesitate, shaking her head firmly. “All right, she’s my disciple. Teacher, don’t even think about it,” Li De interrupted Spark with a hint of irritation. However, his tone softened immediately afterward. “But in the future, I’ll be busy rebuilding our family town for quite some time. If you’re available then, Teacher, I can let Isha temporarily study under you.” Li De’s mind raced at the thought of all the resources a Grand Mage might possess. Using a Grand Mage to help cultivate Isha seemed like a win-win situation. “Teacher~” Isha’s timid expression showed reluctance. She didn’t want to leave Li De at all. Li De patted her on the head. “Good girl. I’ll be traveling often during this period. While I’m away, Grandpa Spark will teach you magic. Doesn’t Isha want to become stronger?” “I’ll come back and take you home as soon as I return. Isha will always be my Isha, and I won’t abandon you.” There was no chance of Isha leaving the Crimson Mage Tower, and Li De wasn’t worried about it. After receiving repeated reassurances from Li De, Isha finally relaxed. Her crimson eyes turned to Spark, and in a soft voice, she said, “Grandpa Spark, Isha is willing to learn magic from you.” “Ahh, good girl, Isha.” Hearing this, Spark’s earlier dissatisfaction melted away. He grinned widely, utterly defenseless against the charm of a well-behaved child.
