Chapter 1832: The Limit Of This Child Would Not Just Stop At The 10th-Tier
Mag sat up from the single bed in the study. The first ray of morning sun shone on the bed. He blanked out for a while, and reached out to switch off the alarm clock. It seemed like he had a drop too much last night, and there were many details he could not remember clearly.
He pulled the blanket aside, and saw that he was dressed neatly in his pajamas. It seemed like nothing interesting happened last night.
Click.
The door was pushed open gently. Amy, who was dressed in a black magician robe, ran in and stood by the bed. She spun around on the spot, and looked at Mag expectantly as she asked, “Father, can I wear this magician robe to the Magic Caster Tournament? I heard that I get to go on stage to receive a prize if I win the first place.”
“Of course you can. Our Little Amy is the cutest magician princess.” Mag nodded with a smile. He did not know when the little fellow woke up, and she even changed into a magician robe on her own. If it wasn’t that little tuft of hair sticking out with personality, she would already be ready to go up on stage to receive a prize.
“That’s great! Then I will receive the prize like this.” Amy smiled brightly as though she had already defeated all the magic casters, and was about to go up on stage.
“Little Amy, come here.” Mag beckoned with a smile.
“Mm-hm.” Amy went over obediently and sat by the bed.
“Our precious little baby has grown up a little more.” Mag placed his hand on Amy’s head, and helped her press down that tuft of hair sticking out. Her hair was as soft as silk, just like a newborn kitten’s fur. It glimmered under the golden glow of the sunlight.
Amy tilted her head, reached out, and pinched Mag’s face. Her azure blue eyes shone brightly as she said in a kiddish voice, “Thankfully you’ve not grown old, Father. Little Amy won’t allow you to become old too.”
Mag’s heart melted. He suddenly felt warm and fuzzy inside. He smiled and nodded. “Alright, if Little Amy doesn’t grow up, I won’t grow old.”
Amy thought for a while, and looked conflicted.
“What’s wrong?”
“In that case, I’m not growing up. I don’t want Father to grow old. I want Father to always be with me. I’m not growing up.” Amy shook her head as tears welled up her eyes.
“Silly. Father will always be with you until you find me annoying, grow tired of me, and want to go out to roam the world.” Mag tapped Amy’s little nose.
“Never! Amy loves Father the most, why would I be annoyed with you? That won’t happen!” Amy smiled. She went up and kissed Mag on his cheek. She dangled her two feet by the edge of the bed, and quickly told Mag like a mini adult, “Father, Master said that I would be gone for three days. For these three days, I’ll be handing Ugly Duckling and Big Sister Annie to you to take care of. You can ignore Ugly Duckling, but Big Sister Annie would definitely feel lonely, so you have to spend more time playing with her.”
“Mm-hm. I will take good care of her.” Mag nodded with a smile. He did not expect the little fellow to already be thinking of taking care of Annie when she was just a four-year-old.
“Good morning, Father. I will go back then. I still have many sets of clothes I’m going to try on for her to see.” Annie jumped off the bed and walked to the door. She paused for a while, and said, “Big Sister Annie and I would like tofu pudding and youtiao for breakfast. Master Krassu said that we would be setting off this morning.”
“Alright, Darling,” Mag replied with a smile. He got up, changed into his chef’s suit, and went downstairs to wash up and prepare the kids’ breakfast.
It was a short three-day trip, so Amy did not need to pack a lot of things. Besides, with Krassu going along, he needed not worry too much.
Soon after, Irina went downstairs as well. She was still in her pajamas when she stood by the kitchen door with a glass of warm water Mag poured for her as she watched Mag make breakfast while sipping on the water.
“Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?” Mag asked with a smile as he turned back to glance at her.
“Mm-hmm. Pretty good.” Irina nodded lazily.
“Amy and Annie are having youtiao with tofu pudding for breakfast. What about you?”
Irina thought for a while before saying, “I want rainbow fried rice and a glass of soybean milk.”
“Alright.” Mag nodded. He switched on the soybean milk machine at the side. “Little Amy changed into her magician robe early in the morning, and ran to my room to show me. Looks like the little fellow was still thinking of going out to play.”
“She just wants to fight.” Irina smiled too. “That’s rather similar to me. When I was young, I liked to pick up fights. I liked to see their angry faces, with them being annoyed with me while being unable to do anything to me.”
Mag smiled. It seemed like this had not changed at all.
“When I came down just now, I saw that Annie was rather interested in Amy’s magic wand. Do you think we should let her try learning magic?” Irina put down her glass.
“If she’s interested.” Mag paused for a while, nodded, and said, “I think that works too.”
“In that case, I’ll take a look to see what magic is suitable for her to learn,” Irina said with a smile.
Mag had finished making breakfast when Amy and Annie came downstairs.
Mag added a sunny-side-up each for the two little fellows. Growing kids needed to replenish their proteins.
“Annie, would you like to learn magic?” Irina asked Annie, who was eating quietly, during breakfast.
Annie was stunned.
Amy pointed at the magic wand beside her.
Annie’s eyes lit up, and she nodded. Her bright eyes were shining with anticipation.
Annie had been watching sign language videos, and training her listening comprehension for the past few days. Therefore, she could already roughly understand what they were talking about, and could also communicate with them through basic sign language.
“Give me your hand.” Irina held Annie’s hand gently, and multiple golden rays appeared around their hands.
Irina looked at the layers of golden glow. She frowned and released her grip after a very long while.
“How did it go?” Mag asked.
Amy and Annie were also looking at Irina with anticipation.
“This is the first time I run into this situation.” Irina shook her head. “Her knowledge storage is empty. I can’t see any attributes.”
“Does that mean she can’t be trained in magic?” Mag frowned.
Amy and Annie appeared rather disappointed.
“No. The vastness of her knowledge storage is something I’ve never seen before. I’m afraid that even a 10th-tier magic caster would not have such vast knowledge storage.” Irina shook her head. She looked at Annie as though she was looking at a precious treasure. “I am just unable to tell what kind of magic is suitable for her. The upper limit of this child would not just stop at the 10th-tier.”
Mag was stunned upon hearing that, but quickly understood why.
After all, Annie was once part of a Great Old One. Although her mental age was that of a mere child, her talent was not like an ordinary person’s. She might really break through the restraints of the 10th-tier in the future.
