"Dong dong dong!" A gentle knock on the door sounded.
"Come in."
Nicole walked into the room. In the room, Heath was standing in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, seemingly waiting for her to come over.
Nicole asked doubtfully: "Master, are you looking for me?"
Heath nodded: "Yeah."
After responding, Heath didn't make any more noise, but just looked at Nicole quietly, his eyes scanning back and forth on her body, as if he was observing something.
After calming down, Heath thought carefully about why this matter seemed so weird.
If Nicole was really a spellcaster, she wouldn't have been so miserable when they first met. Besides, after being together for so long, Heath thought he still knew something about her. She really didn't seem to be doing anything to hide her identity.
people.
But what about the reactions of these elements clearly surrounding her?
In the past, it was impossible to detect without the condensed perception rune, but now when Nicole stood in front of him, Heath could clearly feel the vague magic power fluctuations on the opponent's body. This was obviously something that only spellcasters could have.
So...is there a possibility? That Nicole is actually a spell caster, but she doesn't know it?
Hollowing out all of Heath's current knowledge about wizards, he really found such a reasonable answer, but... the answer itself seemed even more incredible than if Nicole was a spellcaster...
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Nicole felt strange when Heath stared at her so motionlessly.
Heath pulled over two chairs: "Nicole, sit down first."
Nicole sat down on the chair obediently.
Heath then handed over another glass of water. This action made Nicole feel flattered. Although Heath usually doted on her and did a lot of similar favors to her, this was the first time that he specifically showed affection to her like this.
'Does the wizard have something very important to tell Nicole?'
She quickly cheered up.
After waiting for a long time, he did not get an answer. Instead, Heath asked some irrelevant questions. He asked: "I heard from the servants that your parents passed away when you were very young. You were raised by your uncle."
Raised?"
Nicole's heart tightened: "Master, is it my uncle who came to see me..."
Her expression suddenly turned frightened. Those days were definitely the past she didn't want to recall in her life. She didn't have enough to eat, didn't wear warm clothes, slept in cages and sheep pens, and was beaten or scolded... she was alive.
Just like livestock... no, worse than livestock.
Heath shook his head: "I'm afraid he can't find you. Your uncle was drunk and fell into the river yesterday. When people found him, he was already swollen."
"What!"
Nicole's eyes widened.
Immediately afterwards, a sad emotion quickly emerged from her heart. Although the devil treated her in all kinds of ways, that...but that was always her uncle, her only relative in this world.
Yeah...
Heath pulled Nicole over and put her on his lap to hug her. While gently stroking her back, he buried her head in his arms and comforted her: "Okay, don't be sad. I will be your relative after you have no relatives."
, as long as I am here for a day, no one will bully you again!"
"Wow!"
Nicole couldn't control her emotions anymore, and she threw herself into Heath's arms and cried bitterly. She didn't know whether it was because she had suffered too much in the past or because of the emotional outburst after the death of her loved one. In short, at this moment, Heath's words
It was particularly impactful for Nicole.
After a while...
"Thank...Thank you Master." Nicole wiped the tears from her eyes. She took a deep breath and said seriously: "Nicole is willing to be the master's servant for the rest of her life. She is only loyal to the master, even if she devotes her life to the master.
, I won’t hesitate to do it.”
In Nicole's life, no one has ever been so kind and gentle to her, so her inner gratitude at this time is indescribable. It can be said that it surpasses the Albert couple who brought her out of the sea of misery, becoming
A new spiritual totem deep in her heart.
After being moved, tears overflowed again, and Nicole begged: "Master, master, please accept Nicole, Nicole is very good."
Now she just wants to do something to repay Heath's kindness, but as a maid, she has nothing at all. She really can't think of anything else except that her young body can be used now.
'Uh... Why does it look like a cult...'
Although he wanted to have a relationship with the little maid, it was beyond Heath's expectation to actually move her so much. He felt like he had done nothing, okay?
"Ahem! No rush, no rush."
It's not impossible to accept this little maid...but that's not the point now.
She put the maid down from her lap and pulled her back to the chair. While holding her hand, she asked: "In addition to your uncle's affairs, I have other things to ask you when I come to you today. I hope you will do it."
You have to answer seriously, do you understand me, Nicole?"
Nicole puffed up her chest and nodded with all her strength, "Everything Nicole owns belongs to the master!"
Heath raised his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this."
Then, he stared at Nicole and asked his first question: "How did your parents...die?"
Nicole was startled, not expecting Heath to ask this.
However, she quickly replied: "They fell into the river and died..."
Heath asked: "Just fell into the river?"
After a pause, he added with a serious look: "Did anything strange happen when they fell into the river?"
Nicole's expression changed.
Her expression suddenly became tense, and she knelt on the ground: "Master, Nicole is not bad luck, and Nicole doesn't want those bad things to happen, but they... Master, can you not drive Nicole away? Nicole
But I will definitely control it and won’t let bad things happen again.”
Is that really the case...
Heath helped Nicole up: "No one will drive you away. I have told you before that as long as you are willing, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. Now I am just asking a simple question."
Nicole was doubtful: "Are you really not going to drive Nicole away?"
Heath reached out and rubbed her cheek affectionately: "No, okay, get up."
Only then did Nicole stand up again.
Heath continued to ask: "Continuing from before, what strange thing happened when your parents fell into the river, tell me the truth."
Nicole hesitated.
Then he said with a sad look: "That was when I was six years old. I still remember that the sun was so bright that day and the weather was very hot. I couldn't bear the heat anymore, so I talked to the children in the town.
Went to the small river at the entrance of the town..."
From Nicole, Heath learned the details of what happened.
One day when Nicole was six years old, she went to play by the river with the children in the town. This was a common thing in the countryside of this era. People were generally very sensible and just played by the river without putting themselves in danger.
area.
But for some reason, Nicole, who was playing in the water that day, felt that the river was particularly friendly and unknowingly went deeper into the river. When she woke up, she was already in the deep water area in the middle of the river, and there was an anxious person on the bank.
Her parents came to her side.
At that time, she was just a child. Her first reaction when seeing her parents was that she hoped they could be around. But with such a simple thought, a bizarre scene occurred...
The river seemed to have responded to her call. Two huge waves rolled up in the river for no reason, and immediately caught her parents, and took them deep into the river... Just like that, the tragedy happened.
happened...
Nicole said painfully: "...I don't know why this is happening. I really just hope they can come to me..."
Even after all this time, the shadow still lingered on her.
After a while, she calmed down.
Heath then asked: "Nicole, tell me honestly, do you have some strange abilities since you were a child, such as...controlling water or something like that? I heard that you had some townspeople when you were in the forest.
When you saw the hand reaching out from the river to catch the animal, was this you?"
Nicole was silent for a moment.
Then she turned her head and pointed to the kettle on the table next to her and said, "Master, can I use that kettle?"
Heath nodded.
Nicole took the kettle and opened the lid. Her expression looked very troubled when she did this action. It was obvious that she was very reluctant, but she did it in the end.
Then she said with faint tears: "As long as the master needs Nicole to do it, Nicole will do it."
I just hope that the owner will not dislike Nicole...
After adding something silently in her heart, Nicole stared at the kettle steadily, and under her gaze, a strange scene also appeared.
However, I saw that the calm lake water suddenly began to rotate automatically, the lake water became crystal clear, and two slender little hands vaguely stretched out from the water, as if there was a little goblin hiding in the lake water.
Heath was stunned.
Really...
That's really it...
After a brief daze, Heath's expression suddenly became excited.
He grabbed Nicole in front of him and looked at the little maid in front of him with burning eyes. Now he really wanted to hold this girl tightly in his arms and kiss her twice. He never thought that God would give him such a big treasure.
'Haha, as expected, as expected, as expected, good people are rewarded! Picking her back up was the most correct decision I made!'
Heath was overjoyed.
Sensing his emotional change, Nicole couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. She hurriedly and cautiously asked: "What...what's wrong? Master, is it...Did Nicole do something wrong?"
?”
Heath shook his head: "No, Nicole, you did a great job."
After a pause, he explained: "There is something I need to tell you. This is something you have never known, and it is also the reason why you have these strange abilities."
Nicole concentrated.
Heath paused for a moment and said, "Nicole, you are actually a wizard."
"A born wizard!"
There is no need for meditation, no spiritual enlightenment, or even the need to recite incantations to control the elemental power to cast spells. In the wizarding world, there is only one situation -
