Volume 4: The City in the Sky Chapter 100: Reunion with Lilia

  Luo Sa nodded, somewhat tiredly saying: "Alright then, it's settled. You'll stay with Larsson for a few months first, and I'll teach you spiritual magic. With your current foundation, it shouldn't be too difficult."

  I was just about to bid farewell to Losa when he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked me, "How is your brother Tissen? Can he be trusted?"

  I nodded and said, "Tissen is a strict person, although sometimes he's too rigid, but he's actually warm-hearted and kind. Teacher Ankala says his magical talent is very good, and in the future, there's hope for him to reach a high level."

  Luo Sa pulled herself back into the chair, closed her eyes and said: "Alright, you can go now. Close the door on your way out."

  I bowed slightly to him and left the magic tower, closing the door behind me.

  Darent and the other two were still waiting outside the magic tower, seeing me come out, all three of them hurried to greet me. The impatient Heston asked first: "How was it? Did Lord Losa ask you to stay in Larsen?"

  I know what they're thinking, I said with a smile: "I'll be staying in Larsson for a while, but soon I have to leave, I still have many things to do, born to labor and suffer, can't help it."

  Looking at the three of them with somewhat disappointed expressions, I added: "I know what you three are thinking, don't worry, during my time in Larsen, I will definitely share my magical insights with you. Actually, it was by chance that I obtained many years ago a powerful magician's notes on magic in a ruin, and found that the current magic seems to be different from back then. After carefully studying the magician's notes, I gradually improved some of the magic."

  Darent, Trent and Winst nodded in unison, their faces finally showing a hint of joy. Winst nodded and said: "Thank you for your generosity, we will also make corresponding returns, so it's settled then, we'll come to disturb you at that time."

  I nodded and bid farewell to the three people, then walked alone towards Tissen's residence. According to Tissen's description, I should be able to see his place after turning at the corner of this main street.

  I suddenly had a strange feeling of being watched, I turned my head sharply, the long street behind me was quiet and deserted, nothing was there. I shook my head, could it be just my imagination?

  I continued to walk forward, but the feeling of being peeped at still lingered. I had a creepy feeling in my heart and now I was almost certain that I must have been spied on by someone using some kind of magic, but what kind of magic it was, I had no idea. Why would someone use magic to spy on me?

  I quickened my pace, and soon I found Tissen's house. When I knocked on the door, that feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared, the person monitoring me had withdrawn their magic, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, the feeling of being monitored was really uncomfortable, I must figure out who was monitoring me.

  The door of Tyson's house opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of me. The face was still as carefree as before, seemingly just waking up from sleep, with eyes that hadn't fully opened yet. The only change was that this face had gained another round of weight compared to the last time I saw it, and a warm feeling surged up from my heart. I chuckled and called out: "Lia sister, it's me, Alik, the roasted fish you've been craving is here!"

  Those sleepy eyes immediately opened wider than a bronze bell when they heard the words "roasted fish", and then they heard Lilia's deafeningly loud shout: "Alik, you little scamp! How come you're only coming now?! You've made me crave roasted fish so much I'm about to die!" Then, before I could even react, I was tightly wrapped in a body that had gained a circle of fat, and I almost couldn't breathe. A great magician, the hope of saving the continent of Achend from turmoil, nearly suffocated to death like this.

  I used all my strength to squeeze out the air from my lungs and barely managed to say a few words: "Lia sister... let me go quickly, this will lead to someone's death... you're going to strangle me to death, who wants to make grilled fish with you..."

  I felt a sudden relaxation in my body, and fresh air rushed into my lungs. I coughed violently for a long time before catching my breath.

  I smiled wryly and said: "Lia sister, are you trying to murder me......"

  Lia smiled awkwardly, patted my shoulder with her hand, and then stretched out her claws to my head, messing up my neatly combed hair into a bird's nest. Only then did I hear her humming softly in her nose, saying: "Sister, isn't this thinking of you? Seeing you is really too exciting, every day facing that big wooden head Tissen, almost suffocating."

  I was frantically tidying up my messy hair, which looked like a chicken's nest, while asking: "Lia sister, aren't you happy? Living with the one you love, when are you two going to have a baby?"

  Lia's face rarely turned red, and she said: "Waiting to be an uncle, haven't you seen that my belly is so big? Maybe in a few days I'll give birth."

  I noticed this time that Lila, standing in front of me, had a big belly. I exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Tyson is really fast! I can still make it to the birth of my little nephew, that's great!"

  Lia glared at me angrily, lifted her foot with difficulty and kicked me, saying: "Get in quickly, you're talking nonsense!"

  I rubbed my buttocks and slipped in quietly, Tyson was already standing expressionless in the house waiting for me. I saw his eyes were already full of smile, I greeted him happily, but he just hummed a sound from his nose and said lightly: "You're here, sit down, finally know to come see me and your sister Yulia? Had enough fooling around outside?"

  I ran my hand through my already disheveled hair and said awkwardly, "No choice, I was being chased by a necromancer all the way here, got caught up in some messy stuff, couldn't get away for a while, should've come sooner but ended up dragging it out till now."

  Lia came to my side, hands on her hips, and sat down with a bit of effort, saying: "Now that you're here, it's just in time. Lately, I've been feeling like everything tastes bland, and eating is uncomfortable with this big belly of mine. You know how bad Tissen's cooking is, don't you? You have to think of something for the sake of your future nephew." She spoke as if it was only natural, with a tone that brooked no argument, not even acknowledging my resentful gaze. Alas, it seems these two are my natural enemies. I fear that no matter how high I rise in the future, I'll be powerless against this couple - a high-ranking magician who has already reached the level of great magician, being ordered around by lovely Lia and her husband, my brother Tissen, to become their personal chef with just a few words. As I lamented the injustice of fate, I began preparing the first meal I would make in Larsson.
