In Fiona's mind, a mage's talent is composed of both qualifications and wisdom. Qualifications are physical conditions, while wisdom is the ability to comprehend and learn... Very few people have both.
The most outstanding genius in history is the human mage Xia Feng. He can also become a legend in mythology and ancient times, let alone this mortal era. This peerless genius was admitted to the Sky Temple a hundred years ago, and eighty years ago
He just said, 'There is no more knowledge here' and left.
Thousands of years of accumulated magic was mastered by a human in just twenty years. This talent is unmatched by anyone.
Xia Feng, who left the Sky Temple, stayed in his homeland and did not take full action for eighty years. Rumors in the Sky Temple said that Xia Feng had ignited the divine fire and that he could easily kill the guardian beast that stood at the top of the world.
So since Xia Feng, Fiona has not cared so much about a genius child for a hundred years.
a hundred years...
Even in her long life, one hundred is still a noteworthy number... Xia Han's sudden appearance made her realize how fast and short time is.
Apples were food that Fiona had people transport to Phoenix from outside. Xia Han's 'accidental' action caught her attention... Perhaps not only her, but the other two lords of the Sky Temple also noticed Xia Han.
A nine-year-old child casts the third-level spell: Frost Wind more than a dozen times in a few seconds - this is genius.
However, such a genius is rare to encounter in a century, but it is not impossible. The most strange thing about Xia Han in the eyes of the three lords is not this, but the decrease in magic power around him.
The Sky Temple has cultivated countless mages, and therefore has set up magic devices in many places so that the Council and the three lords can better discover the seeds of future mages. The area where Xia Han cast magic happens to be within the range.
Fiona didn't know what the other two lords would think about Xia Han's peculiarity, but as an elf princess, she thought of a possibility.
The magical race she belongs to, the elves, no matter before ancient times or now, their lives enjoy magic as moist as the air, and the magic empire is covered by the power of the magic spring.
During these thousands of years, many elves have been able to absorb rare magic power from the outside air. This is an evolutionary trend, and one day the elves will get rid of their identity as a mortal race.
So after discovering that the magic power around Xia Han had decreased, Fiona immediately thought of it - Xia Han absorbed the magic power around him because casting spells consumed mana, and judging from the fact that it could be detected, this magic power was not low.
A nine-year-old body capable of absorbing huge amounts of magic power, Xia Han...may be an early evolver that has never appeared in their elven clan!
"So...you want to accept me as your disciple?"
After the dinner, Xia Han couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing the explanation - although Fiona used elves as a starting point, her speculation was almost the same as the truth.
"Yes." Fiona's eyes softened: "Don't you want to?"
She looked at Xia Han like an expectant elder.
"What will happen if I don't want to?" Xia Han was a little moved, but at the same time he felt that there were many disadvantages to staying with such a powerful mage.
"I won't force you, but even if you don't want to follow me, other lords will offer you an olive branch." Fiona smiled slightly: "You are an elf, but they are very persistent in their pursuit of geniuses."
These words made Xia Han frown: Is the Elf Princess threatening him with the other two lords?
"But..." Fiona's smile did not diminish. She then dispelled Xia Han's suspicion: "You can listen to the conditions they provide and then report to me. I will try to do better than them."
Her attitude is better than anyone Xia Han has ever seen, and...it is very rare for people like Fiona to express their guesses about him in fair terms.
At least Xia Han doesn't have to worry about him turning into a guinea pig.
"No need to go to them, I will learn from you." After thinking about several possibilities, Xia Han made a choice in advance: he didn't want to be reviewed again by the other two lords, and Fiona had no ill intentions.
But by the way, Xia Han also made a request.
He demands ample freedom and the right to refuse Fiona's unreasonable demands. On this basis, he will obey some reasonable orders and tasks from Fiona in exchange for the mage's teachings and access to the library.
"..."
To be honest, this kind of request is very demanding and does not distinguish between subject and object. However, Fiona miraculously agreed after thinking for a moment, except for one thing.
"I can't treat you too favorably, so... I will give you some tasks and indicators, and you can choose freely, but only by completing the tasks and gaining benefits for the temple can you be qualified to read in the library."
The Library of Truth has clear levels. There are not many restrictions on the library of first-level mages, but mages must make contributions if they want to upgrade. The mages Xia Han saw on the wooden boat who led their children to the Sky Temple
, it is the new generation who are looking for deeper knowledge in the library.
"I see."
Xia Han had no reason to refuse, and it was already very rare for Fiona to agree to his conditions.
The elf princess is so tolerant, so naturally Xia Han can't go too far.

Shanqiao Town, a small town surrounded by mountains.
That night, farmers who had been drinking after a hard day's work gathered in the tavern of the town. They laughed at the top of their lungs and talked about women and the abundant harvest of prey. It was lively and noisy.
At the back door of the tavern, a dark and thin girl carried a wooden bucket full of garbage and poured it into the ditch with difficulty.
"Miss...Miss Lilac..."
A call rang out from the hazy and dark bushes, and a chubby little body popped up and waved to the girl.
"Dumb?" The girl was stunned, put down the barrel and ran over: "I said you were older...but why are you here?"
"Young lady is just young lady, I came here quietly with the teacher on my back..." A simple and honest little fat man about ten years old emerged from the bushes. He rustled out a note from behind and handed it to the girl:
"Miss, I give you this notebook. I copied all the second-level spells in it."
The girl was startled and quickly wiped her hands on her body before carefully taking the note.
"Little sister, I will go back to the Sky Temple with my teacher in a few days. It may take a long time before I come back." The little fat man sounded a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again: "But my performance is up to standard, I will go
The third-level library copied more spells back."
"Yeah." The girl preciously stuffed the note under her clothes: "Thank you, Dumb."
With this notebook, she can learn more spells - and become stronger.
Although she didn't know why she wanted to become stronger, she had a dream that kept torturing her.
Among the countless entangled, intertwined, and invisible thorn bushes... there is a cage and a snow-white eagle... This is really a strange and sad dream.
