Kenneth's expression suddenly changed.

He sat up abruptly amidst the violent shaking and looked sharply in the direction from which the tremor was coming from.

He wondered if someone was attacking.

Who would dare to openly attack the monarch of the Magic Association?

That audacious future Barthezmero?

still.

Has the fact that he sheltered 'Louis' become known to outsiders?

"That's... audacious!"

Kenneth said this almost instinctively.

He was about to get up to meet the enemy.

But the next second, he suddenly stopped, sensing the source of the mysterious fluctuations that were sweeping through the entire mansion and did not belong to the El-Melloi lineage.

His thin face immediately showed an extremely rare look of astonishment.

What he sensed.

This is...

"The third floor, where the library is?"

He was a first-class lecturer in the Advent Department, and the student in the large classroom—who was now under his protection in the name of the Magic Lord—was Lu Kang, who had awakened the surname 'Luvist'.

That boy.

"Another bloodline awakening!?"

...

However, you still became a magician with your ancestral talent, gaining the recognition of countless legendary figures. Your life laid the foundation for countless great achievements that ordinary people could hardly reach—you are a mysterious master, a religious leader, a political machine, a bloodthirsty killer, and also a great inventor.]

At this moment, Lu Kang did indeed experience his third bloodline awakening in his present life.

However, the mysterious fluctuations that were spreading throughout the entire El-Melloi mansion and tearing apart all the intricate spells engraved within it did not originate from the awakening of bloodlines.

The information that had emerged clearly in his mind was just like the information after the last simulation.

He quickly read through and absorbed all the dense text in an instant.

However, compared to the last time...

This time, Lu Kang seemed much more experienced and well-prepared.

Compared to before, this time he achieved more and gained more – even if we exclude the external objects that could not be brought back with him and only consider himself, it is still the same.

The long life spanning ninety-four years from 1405 to 1499 was once again transformed in his mind into a 'book' that was integrated with himself, which he could remember at any time without losing his thoughts—the triple cycle of his body, mind, and soul, which he had now forged, and the essence of seeing what he thought and thinking what he obtained, these memories transformed into the book in his mind, would also become the mysterious foundation for him to exert his powers.

The magical explosion that followed, which was three times larger than before, was also instantly contained by him. Although with his current divine body, even with only one main magic circuit, he could refine enough divine aether to perform all great magic, so increasing the number of magic circuits seemed to have little effect. But even a tiny bit is still an improvement.

With prior preparation, it is much less likely that the same mistake will occur again.

However, while he managed to control the magic circuits, he failed to control his own 'small source'.

He restrained his magic, but forgot that at the moment the divine body was forged, even the life force that naturally overflowed was enough to cause enormous damage to the outside world!

So it wasn't just the entire El-Melloi mansion that mysteriously followed.

Torn apart by a higher mystery.

In the nearby study on the third floor, the scene was even more chaotic—the walls were torn and the windowsills had collapsed.

Luckily, this isn't my 'territory'... otherwise I would have looked terrible!

Lu Kang scratched his head, then scratched his head again.

I turned my gaze away.

I also happened to see the study door being pushed open from the outside.

A man with a lemon-shaped haircut walked in.

His face was gloomy, and his smile was forced and insincere.

Chapter 82 Kenneth: Your compensation bill, pay off your debt with your own body, young man!

"Mr. Lu Kang, could you please explain again what exactly you did—?"

After a while.

In the living room of El-Melloi's mansion

Kenneth sat upright in a single armchair with crimson cushions. The coffee beside him had obviously cooled down and was no longer emitting heat. Lemon Head's face was still gloomy, full of 'pain'.

Although the losses have not yet been tallied.

However, the sheer amount of effort and time Kenneth spent engraving these complex and mysterious spells in the El-Melloi mansion, covering and stacking the entire courtyard inside and out into a massive project that resembled a magical fortress, was immense. He was once very proud of this, believing it to be a unique magical workshop in the world of magic, an invincible barrier that included nothing, not even gas pipes and sewers.

However, now, years of hard work have been destroyed in one day!

This doesn't even include the basic materials for carving these techniques.

Not counting the Trinity Magic Furnace, which he had confirmed was damaged and which contained the immense magical power required to maintain the operation of these countless complex spells. It was located in the basement and was made from the highest level of fantasy that the El-Melloi family had desperately obtained from the Tomb of Albion hundreds of years ago. It was processed and ultimately forged, laying the foundation for the position of the El-Melloi family monarch of that generation!

Even though he was a powerful Color Magician, the Lord of the El-Melloi lineage of the Magic Association—the head of the Mineral Department and a first-level lecturer in the Conjuration Department—he still felt his scalp tingle at these things.

Of course, what really sent chills down Kenneth's spine was the enormous potential contained within the boy in front of him!

How on earth did he do it?

How could one achieve this, awakening bloodline magic three times—and with such immense and terrifying power that a mere outburst could rival the scale of a grand magic spell!

In this regard.

At that moment, Lu Kang, who was also in the living room and sitting opposite Kenneth, simply blinked, looking completely innocent.

"I don't know either!"

That's definitely not how it's said.

But that's the gist of it.

He leaned back against the sofa cushions, feeling completely relaxed, as if he wasn't the one who had caused such great losses to the mansion and Kenneth—he was the victim.

Kenneth took a deep breath.

He suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and annoyance.

When it doesn't involve personal feelings, he has always prided himself on being very rational.

Regardless of the circumstances, with the 'El-Melloi Contract' in place, no matter how much loss Lu Kang caused him, he could only endure it.

The debt of gratitude owed to Luvis by the ancestors of the El-Melloi family far exceeds this.

anyway.

Awakening three times, a simple burst of power comparable to a grand magic trick...

The potential that Lu Kang is showing is enough for him to take seriously!

Of course, if Kenneth knew that what Lu Kang was unleashing was not magic transformed through circuits, but rather the pure life force of his own small source, he probably wouldn't just take it seriously—he would be shocked, even horrified.

But he didn't sense it.

Lu Kang wouldn't say it outright either.

The more he gained in the recently concluded simulation, the stronger the enemies he provoked became. He was also still unclear about the development of the forces left behind by 'Victor' after his death. He could only confirm that the cult eventually returned to the Roman Catholic Church under his special instruction, but whether it was canonized was still unknown.

Therefore, for now, the fewer people who know about these things, the better.

He hasn't even finished enjoying the legacy of Lewis, one of the most vicious and wicked men of the 20th century.

He decided,

Finish what's in your bowl first, then look at what's in the pot!

At the very least, we must wait until he has a preliminary understanding before taking any action.

But that was later.

Looking at the lemon-headed man in front of him, who was in obvious pain but still trying to endure it, Lu Kang didn't intend to completely renege on his debt.

It has at least gone through two lifetimes of simulation.

An 'old monster' that has actually existed for more than two hundred years.

He defeated countless powerful enemies and twice surpassed the 'Grand Rank'.

Lu Kang is not that bad.

However, there is none at present.

But once he retrieves what he left in Far East Academy City... the loss of such a small amount of mysterious material is basically negligible.

He opened his mouth, about to reveal his 'compensation plan'—which was suspected of being empty promises, but it was better than nothing, and given the potential he had shown, this promise was more likely to be fulfilled.

Kenneth, however, took a deep breath.

He was not given another chance to speak.

He raised his face and simply said, "I didn't know that the Luvist family lineage was known for its vast magical power?"

“It might not be the Luvist, but the family of the last Tsar,” Lu Kang replied matter-of-factly and confidently.

This statement isn't entirely fabricated.

In this world, noble families are inevitably connected to ancient beings.

Anna didn't.

Does anyone know if there are any that go back several or even a dozen generations?

"That's possible."

Kenneth seemed to have truly calmed down by now. Although his narrow eyes still held a piercing gaze, he no longer seemed to care about his losses. Looking at the calm and composed young man in front of him, he couldn't help but sneer, "Judging from your posture, anyone who didn't know better would think this was your home and I was the guest who had come from afar—Mr. Lu Kang."

"If that's really what Mr. Kenneth thinks... I could accept it."

Kenneth: "..."

I gave you a pole, and you're still trying to climb higher, huh?

"From today onwards, this mansion belongs to you." He spoke suddenly, unhurriedly.

Lu Kang was stunned for a moment, looking at the lemon-headed man in front of him, he was genuinely surprised.

Why has this guy suddenly changed his ways and become so generous?

Fortunately, Kenneth didn't change his ways.

"One's own potential is far more important than dependence on external things, and an excellent 'ally' can bring you a greater sense of security than external things. I think even those unorthodox mud magicians at the bottom of the magic world can understand this principle, and Mr. Lu Kang must understand it. Even if you include Lu Weiss, the lineage can only be considered a very shallow three or five generations."

Lemon Head spoke with his usual nonchalant air, maintaining that slightly sarcastic, British aristocratic tone: "In short, from today onwards, this mansion belongs to you."

"Also, here's a list of the losses you caused this time—"

Lu Kang stared silently at the list that the guy had pulled out from somewhere, a list filled with numbers.

He finally understood what Kenneth was planning.

First, show your 'generosity'.

Then produce a list of the losses.
