Chapter 63 – The witch gradually sensed that something was wrong
Year 22 of the simulation.
Xu Xi is 36 years old, Krisa is 28.
Compared to before, Xu Xi has undergone a significant change, a change called "aging."
Krisa remains young, still maintaining the appearance of a 17-year-old.
Now.
When the two go out together, no one mistakes them for "siblings" anymore. The difference in their appearances is too stark, and people firmly believe they are "father and daughter."
When hearing such comments, Krisa's eyes become even more vacant.
Her fingers unconsciously tighten.
She feels a dull ache in her heart.
But the specifics of that pain, its heavy source, the witch cannot describe well. She can only helplessly hide behind Xu Xi.
Just like before, deeply hidden in the shadow of the light.
Seeking that brief, momentary peace of mind.
"It's okay, Krisa, let's keep walking," Xu Xi comforts the frightened witch, just as he did when he first met her, extending his hand, gently leading her forward.
The path of life is painful.
And twisted with unease.
Xu Xi knows that Krisa alone would find it hard to walk fearlessly to the end.
So, in the limited time he can still move, Xu Xi will always hold Krisa's hand, until the end of the journey.
……
[Year 23 of the simulation, you are 37, Krisa is 29]
[You deeply realize that you are no longer young, but your life is not affected by it]
[For a mage, the older you are, the stronger you become. Although your body is not as young as before, your vast mental power is enough to accomplish anything]
[In the same year, Krisa advances again]
[She advances from Grand Mage to Grand Archmage, becoming a caster of the same realm as you. But unlike you, the witch is not heavily restricted]
[You speculate that perhaps the power of balance helps the witch offset some obstacles]
[You exclaim in your heart: The power of balance is terrifying]
[To celebrate the witch's growth, as her mentor, you decide to give her a gift of special significance, crafting a unique magic wand]
The cicadas sing in the summer, and heat waves surge.
Under the sunlight, the leaves of the forest shimmer with an emerald luster, and when the wind blows, they transform into deep green waves, rustling continuously.
At the base of a robust and thriving tree.
Xu Xi and Krisa sit there resting.
"Krisa, this is the new magic wand I prepared for you, give it a try," Xu Xi's fingers brush over the space ring, retrieving a brand new magic wand.
The wand is slender and yellow-brown.
Made from a branch of the Tree of Life.
It has a restorative effect.
It can also enhance the holder's meditation effect.
At the top is a recessed spot holding a smooth and translucent gem, the essence of an elemental fairy's life, capable of enhancing magical power.
"Thank you, I really like it..."
No matter what you give.
I will like it.
Krisa takes the wand, her eyes blinking, still vacant and lifeless.
Her fingers gently stroke the wand, feeling the wood grain and rough texture, adapting to the new wand's use in this way.
The newly made wand has no name.
Xu Xi lets the girl name it herself.
Krisa holds the wand in her arms, looking at Xu Xi's face with those bewildered eyes, finally giving this answer:
"Grey Rekindle."
This is Krisa's first wand, and the first wand name given by Xu Xi.
During the Allenson crisis that year, Krisa accidentally lost it, and now, she chooses to give that name to the new wand.
Is this a form of inheritance?
Xu Xi smiles, reaching out his hand to ruffle the witch's hair.
"That's nice."
He says.
……
[Year 26 of the simulation, you are 40, Krisa is 32]
[Your body has become a bit sluggish, but your mind remains sharp, your elemental control skills are superb, and you gradually perceive the concept of domains]
[You and Krisa are still traveling the world]
[You lead the immortal witch to the island in the lake on the eastern side of the world, a place known as Dragon Island, a terrifying and dangerous place with numerous lesser dragon species and even true pureblood dragons]
[You invite the witch to ride a dragon together]
"Krisa, don't worry, this kind of dragon is very gentle."
"As long as you gently tap like this, they will understand our intentions, more obedient than domesticated pets."
The island in the lake, once filled with dragon roars.
Today, it is exceptionally quiet.
Countless lesser dragon species lie on the ground, trembling, looking with fear at the terrifying mentor and disciple not far away.
"Look, Krisa."
On top of the pureblood red dragon's head, Xu Xi smiles and waves his wand.
Level 9 Earth Magic: Gravity Field.
Level 9 Fire Magic: Celestial Flames.
Level 9 Lightning Magic: Thunder Roar.
Level 9 Light Magic: Holy Thorn Penetration.
The small long-handled wand simultaneously casts four level 9 spells, lightly tapping on the dragon's head amidst its terrified whimpers.
Dragon scales shatter, dragon blood spurts, the scene is a dragon's nightmare.
But soon.

With the dragon's strong physique, the red dragon awakens from its coma, bowing its head in a flattering manner to Xu Xi, fearing another heavy blow.
"See, Krisa, dragons are very gentle."
"I understand, Mentor."
The witch obediently responds, remembering the dragon-taming secret taught by Xu Xi.
……
[You teach the witch how to communicate with violent magical creatures and dragon species, the witch comprehends your teachings and remembers them]
[You and the witch become dragon riders for a time, feeling elated]
[Afterward, you and the witch leave Dragon Island, but your fame spreads, deeply rooted in the minds of the dragon-blooded species]
[Year 30 of the simulation, you are 44, Krisa is 36]
[You look older, and while drinking water, you see your reflection, noticing a strand of white hair at your temple]
[You pause for a moment, plucking out the white hair, the witch unaware]
[You travel with the witch to a country without steam technology, a place that maintains a primitive lifestyle, using human labor for farming, but its scenery is beautiful]
[The witch sees the vast golden waves of wheat for the first time, learning to observe the world calmly amidst the harmony of soil and breeze]
[Year 35 of the simulation, you are 49, Krisa is 41]
[The passage of time has not affected the "miracle beyond the gods" in the slightest, Krisa still maintains the youthful appearance of a 17-year-old]
[But internally, she has matured significantly due to the long travels with you]
[You notice that at some point, whether during travel or rest, the witch's gaze is always on you, seemingly worried about something]
[Year 38 of the simulation, you are 52, Krisa is 44]
[You are preparing to break through to Saint Domain Archmage]
