Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 1004 276: Olivia's Little Secret, Intelligence from the War Mage Academy (10K)

As time went by, when he came to his senses, it was already the next morning.

The mages who came to the Golden City were like migratory birds, quickly migrating from afar, and then, before everyone realized it, leaving again for the next destination.

What Kael found rather helpless was that, after a night, Elanna once again set off on her journey. According to her, she's only missing the last piece of the puzzle for the heritage she's carrying.

Once the puzzle is complete, she will be able to thoroughly stabilize the realm of the Holy Land, and then climb towards even greater heights.

Kael did not say much about it.

For a special heritage like Elanna's, Kael didn't need to think too hard to guess that there must be others paying much harsher prices to help her grow quickly.

It's just that such costs won't be revealed on the surface.

When future generations lament the hardships of stepping forward, few would think about how many have fallen completely silent ahead.

The countless bones beneath their feet are hardly noticed, even when reviewing history, they are merely symbols that won't be recorded.

As the beneficiary, Kael had even less reason to say anything to Elanna.

As the future Lady Helois, Kael wouldn't stop her from exploring further paths. After all, the obstacles awaiting her and him are still numerous. He only advised her to stay safe and instructed Alubi, the puppet accompanying her, to protect the mistress well, and with that, this matter came to a close.

Stepping out of the room, meandering through the now deserted hall, all traces of the mages' celebrations last night had been completely cleared out, making the once bustling ground seem rather desolate.

He slightly slowed his pace as he walked through the middle, only to hear an unknown sound of footsteps behind him.

Kael quietly gripped his magic wand and turned back to see Elanna's teacher, Olivia, standing at the doorway of the hall.

"Oh, busy man, so you haven't left yet?"

Olivia said with a smile.

Yet, Kael somehow felt that this easy-going elder sister, despite smiling, seemed a bit low-spirited.

"Isn't this Sister Olivia? Aren't you accompanying Elanna to the last trial site?"

Olivia waved her hand and said, "That trial site, she has the Old Dragon King taking her, along with another reliable person. It's much more reliable than if I were to accompany her."

"The Old Dragon King? The King of Good Dragons?"

"Yes, though strictly speaking, that Old Dragon isn't quite benevolent~haha, but it's okay, purely in terms of strength, he's more reliable than the Magic Monarchs."

"There's no need to compare. When that plan is completed, and with a few Magic Monarchs ascending to the Demigod Realm, even the King of Good Dragons wouldn't lack the power to contend."

"Indeed, so you all need to work hard."

Kael was silent for a moment and then said, "So why did you come to visit this gallery idly?"

Olivia walked straight to the center of the dance floor in the gallery, looked up to the dome, and her expression became a bit complicated.

"Nothing really, people are always controlled by memories. Seeing this again, my feelings are a bit mixed, that's all."

She stepped lightly, spinning gently in place, and said, "I almost danced here that time."

"Which time?"

"It was a hundred years ago... That time, I had everything arranged for the banquet here, even fantasizing whether some fool would muster up the courage to invite me at my feast.

Well...and then I would refuse without hesitation, after all, for my first dance at a social ball, I would at least choose someone who could barely match my power level at my age.

Unfortunately, at that time, no such person existed."

Kael spread his hands and said, "Were the gaps that large?"

Olivia turned to look at Kael and said rather meaningfully, "The gaps are quite large."

Kael asked with some curiosity, "How large could they be?"

"You know how old I was then, little brother?"

"About my age?"

"Well, I was about two or three years older than you then, originally preparing to host a grand party for my smooth advancement to Legend, though I said I didn't care, I had some expectations for such a ball at that time."

Kael's mouth opened slightly, falling into silence for a moment.

A Legend two or three years older than himself?

Such a concept left him speechless for a moment.

This is probably what you call a Versailles.

Note that if it were based solely on his efforts without the support of the system panel, advancing to Legend with his own strength would almost be impossible.

"That's really... I can already imagine how much psychological pressure people of your age faced back then."

Olivia shook her head and said, "That's not quite right, actually peers wouldn't feel much psychological pressure, because the gap in strength and status reached an utterly insurmountable level, so there's no need to care much."

Kael laughed and said, "That's true, like me, it's been a long time since I felt envy or jealousy from peers, more often they regard me as an object of admiration."
