Chapter 705 Secret Techniques
At the end of the day, Nial didn't reveal the full powers of his Golden Eye.
He said that he could enhance his Silver Eyes to a small extent, but that was it.
It was not as if Nial didn't trust the others, but he didn't feel like telling anyone about his hue of potential ability.
Even if he was the Crown Prince, he didn't want others to find out about the ability. Others would want to abuse it, that was for sure.
However, that was not all.
The Creatoran race would start depending on his ability to discern 'useful' familiars from 'useless' familiars. Maybe not all Creatoran would try to make use of his ability, but the turmoil revolving around him would grow even worse.
He was already a monster, who had become a full-fledged Summoner at the age of four and awoken the One with the Spear. His Origin ring was also different from the norm of the royal family, his eyes were a unique trait that not even five people in the entire Lacardia Empyrean Void possessed, and he had those…weird memories that resurfaced every now and then.
Nial really didn't want to add more weird information to his biography.
Ayase figured that Nial had secrets that he didn't want to expose, and she didn't think about forcing him to reveal them either. Everyone had their own dirty secrets. She was no exception.
Nial may be a little young but he was certainly not someone to underestimate.
This was something Ayase got to know the day he arrived.
Nial's control of his Silver Eye was already strong enough to pave his way through the Forest of Illusion and avoid every single trap that had been laid out meticulously, the Crown Prince was good enough to find out that one of the clan elite's Familiar was evolving.
On the day of his arrival, he solved a big problem, saving the Clan Elder, and he did much more than that afterward.
After the incident with Dave and his Mole Familiar, Milo, Nial had been accepted into the Silver Eye Clan.
As his personal maid, Celine had also been accepted, though she had to go through various examinations and tests before she was accepted.
But that was only normal. Nobody really knew how strong Celine was, how much talent she had, and what her personality is like.
The tests were a means to find out more about Celin. After all, she was not related to the matriarch in any way. Her only connection was the Crown Prince.
Celine passed the tests with flying colors. The only flaw, if one could call it such, was that her first Familiar was rather weak.
However, her Soul Link was firm and the poison affinity she obtained from her Familiar was not too weak either. It could be used in some ways.
"You never had to fill your eyesockets with Mana to unseal them? Are you for real?" Ayase asked, having a hard time believing him.
The cup of tea she was holding in her hand was unmoving, resting only a few centimeters away from her parted lips.
"..."
Nial didn't say anything but the confusion in his eyes was answer enough.
Ayase and Nial had been talking for an hour or two after the incident in the central plaza had been resolved. While Dave focused his entirety on his Familiar and research for a body refinement technique to strengthen his vessel, Ayase turned into a guide for the newcomers.
Nial and Celine received a tour through the Silver Eye Clan. Celine was led to her room where she fell into a deep slumber the moment her smoking head touched the soft mattress.
She had given 200% during the tests to make sure that she would get accepted. Nobody had told her that she would have to be tested so she wasn't prepared for it, at all. This was a little annoying, but there was nothing she could have done against it.
At the end of the day, everything worked out either way. Her hard work had paid off because she was allowed to keep staying by Nial's side.
However, what Celine didn't expect was that the gap between her and Nial would widen even further as time passed.
Nial was not ordinary, by any means, but even if that was a matter of fact, Celine always believed that she could catch up. She even underwent the Soul Reconstruction Ritual to increase her Mana Veins' grade artificially!
Unfortunately, the time she spent sleeping soundly in her new room was already more than enough to increase the gap between her and Nial once again.
"Your mother told you to learn the Secret techniques of the Silver Eye Clan? You are way too young for that!" Ayase shouted at this moment.
No matter how little time she spent outside the Forest of Illusion, or the Silver Eye Clan, to be precise, Ayase couldn't help but feel that her older sister and that annoying nephew were too arrogant.
Forget about Nial, the ignorant young kid, the Empress should know damn well about the dangers of the Silver Eye Clan's secret techniques.
They were not to be taken lightly and could create permanent eye damage to those below the age of 20 with a Mana Core rank below the Keltia rank.
The Silver Eye Clan's descendants were known to mature until the age of 20. Their eyes would continue developing until that age, meaning that Nial's full potential had yet to be unleashed. That was exactly why Ayase didn't want to teach him the Secret Techniques of the Silver Eye Clan.
His dormant potential could be damaged the moment he would do something foolish with his eyes. The Secret Techniques were extremely powerful but they were also complex. A single mistake in the control of mana may actually end up bursting his eyes.
"Mom told me that you would say that. She gave me this letter and told me to tell you this; You better teach him, otherwise, he will suffer the most. His potential shouldn't be neglected," Nial said, trying to sound nonchalant as he retrieved a golden letter.
The golden letter was sealed with a crimson emblem, and it radiated strong mana currents. One had to circulate mana in a certain way inside the letter to open it, otherwise, it would explode and destroy the content regardless of what it is.
"She would never say something like that directly. Don't think of me as a fool, just because I haven't seen your mother for a while," Ayase said with a smug expression on her face. She recalled her sister's attitude and shook her head lightly.
With a swift motion, she put the teacup down on the chair and accepted the letter from Nial.
"...yeah, but she probably wrote it down. She just told me to tell you that she loves you a lot."
"That's also a lie. She doesn't say cringe stuff like that."
'Tch! Just accept the praise and teach me…please!'
