Chapter 79: When Did Being Exceptionally Talented Become a Crime?

After fooling around for a while, Mojeis solemnly accepted the Imitation Demon Bull Body Tempering Fist.

“I have noted Little Weir’s contribution. This information is extremely important to the Kendall Family. As long as it is submitted through the Family, I won’t even need to step forward; the main Family in the Royal Capital will hand this credit over to the appropriate person.

At most, my name will occasionally be mentioned in internal rumors, or perhaps not appear at all, making it difficult for the news to reach the ears of the Beastmen.

Submitting the information will bring great benefits to the Family, and the main Family will gain more advantages from the Kingdom. Furthermore, the prestige boost the Kingdom receives by sharing this information with other kingdoms is also significant.

Although it won’t give you fame or prestige, the benefits you receive will not be small. Giving you money directly would be an insult to you.

Resources—your Knight Cultivation resources until you become an Intermediate Knight will be partially covered by the Kendall Family.

Of course, your father will also benefit: ten years of Knight Cultivation resources and a wizard potion to improve his Physique.”

“Even without the wizard potion, I can still advance to Intermediate Knight!” Floret Declan said resolutely.

“My dear Little Weir has brought me too many surprises. Although I have only been Cultivating his Tendon Changing and Bone Forging Method for a short time, it has already alleviated most of my previous hidden injuries. I believe that as long as I persist, I can recover significantly within three months.

My dear child, your father knows you are saving his Face. You improved the Family’s Knight Cultivation Method but did not hand it directly to me. Instead, you pretended it was just miscellaneous notes, like practice records and Cultivation insights, for me to see.

Using the Cultivation Method you improved, I can clearly feel my own advancement. I haven’t felt this way in many years.

Without your Knight Cultivation resources, my son and I can still improve; it will just be a little slower.”

“What belongs to you belongs to you.” Molly Kendall waved her hand generously.

“Floret Declan, I can tell you very responsibly that without having received much formal education, lacking extensive knowledge, lacking Advanced Knight Cultivation Methods, lacking sufficient Cultivation resources, having missed the period of rapid strength increase in your youth, and without Bloodline Awakening, your future achievements are extremely limited. Even if you become an Intermediate Knight, what of it?

In the eyes of The Strong, an Advanced Knight is merely an entry level.

It is a certainty that Mojeis and I will become truly The Strong. Little Weiya is still young, so her future achievements are hard to say, but Little Weir’s future achievements are absolutely limitless.

For someone favored and vigorously cultivated by Professor Wiesel, it wouldn’t be surprising if he became famous throughout the Kingdom.

I am telling you very responsibly that the person I intend to Cultivate is not you, but the future of the Kingdom, Weil Declan!

Marrying in? Haha, you are thinking too much. Although I really want to trick Little Weir into marrying into the Kendall Family, our Delaik County Kendall Family cannot accommodate a great Talent like Little Weir.

Do you think he is merely a Genius in Knight Cultivation? No, his knowledge is not limited to that.

Vol Temple Knight has already reported Little Weir’s mastery of Ancient Script to the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, and he has already entered the Dharma Eye of the upper echelon.”

“So?” Floret Declan looked intently at Molly Kendall, who gave a cold laugh.

“Therefore, our Kendall Family must make a stand. Little Weir is someone our Family favors, one of Lilith’s future husband candidates, and a Talent our Family intends to Cultivate vigorously. Only by doing this can we protect his freedom.

Wizards are free, but once he enters the Church, his future is destined to be bleak!”

When did being exceptionally talented become a crime? Floret Declan felt a surge of helplessness in his heart.

He couldn’t be the Dominator of his own destiny, nor could he protect his child’s fate. How weak he was—unable even to provide a stable environment for his wife, and even dragging her down.

Floret Declan gritted his teeth, looked at Molly Kendall, and said in a deep voice, “Should Little Weir’s greater Talents be deliberately concealed? My son is a Genius, and perhaps what you have seen is only the tip of the iceberg.

Molly Kendall, although we have always been at odds, deep down, I trust you.

I need you to give me a clear answer: can you protect Little Weir until he grows up?”

“If you encounter something like this again, and you can trust me as you do now and leave the matter to me, then I can protect him.

I fear not opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. If you accidentally leak information and expose Little Weir’s Talents to outsiders, then you cannot blame me.”

Molly Kendall glanced at Lilith. “Of course, Lilith is also trustworthy, and my plan requires her participation.

Lilith, don’t rush to refuse. Even if you don’t treat Little Weir as a fiancé candidate, you can treat him as a partner or competitor in your Cultivation. With him around, your speed of advancement will only be faster.”

Lilith thought about it and realized this was true. Furthermore, could she refuse something that had risen to the level of the Family, the main Family, and even the Kingdom? She accepted it.

“Classmate Weir, since you are also a Wizard Apprentice, there are more things we can compete on.

I cannot compare to your Talent in knighthood. Please guide me more in the future!

Starting next month, let’s compete in Wizard Cultivation.” Lilith shook her fist.

“I admit that my Knight Aptitude is inferior to yours, but my Wizard Aptitude is also at the Excellent level. What remains is brains and wisdom.

I, Lilith, absolutely will not admit that I will be utterly defeated in this regard.

Furthermore, I am already a First-level Wizard Apprentice. I have been studying Wizard Apprentice knowledge for nearly a year, and it only took me three months to become a First-level Wizard Apprentice. I am confident I can become a Second-level Wizard Apprentice within one year!”

For excellent Wizard Apprentices, the first two levels of Wizard Apprentice are easy to achieve, but the Third-level Wizard Apprentice requires considerable knowledge and magic power accumulation.

It’s not that Lilith couldn’t advance quickly; she simply didn’t want to rush things for the sake of better future development.

“How long did it take you to visualize and engrave the first basic rune?” Little Weir didn’t take the bait and instead asked a question.

“Half a month. It took me half a month to visualize and engrave the first basic rune, and nine days for the second one. After that, the pace slowed down gradually due to insufficient Mental Energy.

I have now visualized and engraved nineteen basic runes.” Lilith said with some pride.

“I am confident that I can visualize and engrave twenty-seven runes within a year, and then I can Cultivate an Advanced Wizard Meditation Method.”

Little Weir thought for a moment, gently shook his head, and said, “I have only received the Wizard Legacy for one month, and I am currently in a stage of abundant Mental Energy.

If we compete on the number of basic runes visualized and engraved each month, it seems a bit unfair. Do you have any good suggestions?”

Lilith thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case. However, if she competed in other areas, wouldn’t she be suspected of taking advantage of him?

After all, she had been exposed to the Wizard Legacy for nearly a year, which was much longer than Classmate Weir’s one month.

Wait a minute, why would she assume that a year’s worth of knowledge would be much more than a month’s? She was facing a monster, after all. If they truly had a fair duel, she might be utterly defeated.

“We are both in the Elementary stage of Wizard Apprentice, so let’s start the competition with the most fundamental knowledge.

Basic knowledge of Magic Arrays derived from basic runes. I will prepare the relevant Materials, and we can compete on the application of Magic Array knowledge one month from now, how about that?”

Lilith certainly wouldn’t tell Little Weir that she had already been studying for more than three months, and that was under the guidance of a Formal Wizard.

“Deal!” To Lilith’s challenge, Little Weir could only respond with a “Hehe.”

He had a backer! When comparing knowledge absorption, what could be faster than the god of wisdom directly pouring knowledge into his brain?

The knowledge he contributed, when infused back into his mind, came at a discount. He still had quite a few contribution points saved up.

Twelve consecutive victories within a year would be no problem. Cross-dressing? Hehe, go to hell!

In a place Little Weir couldn’t see, a tall figure boredly counted his fingers, seemingly hearing Little Weir’s inner thoughts, and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“This Little Fellow has gotten a bit arrogant recently. Should I suppress him a little? Maybe say that to maintain the fairness of the mission, direct infusion of competition-related knowledge is prohibited?

I really want to see this Little Fellow cross-dress.

Wait, why must I focus on this Little Fellow? If I want him to lose, I can simply increase the strength of that Little Girl.

Hmm, this method is good. Hehe, Little Fellow, I look forward to your cross-dressing.”

“Achoo~” Little Weir suddenly sneezed, causing Lilith to jump three meters away and give him a huge eye roll.

Little Weir felt a chill run down his spine. “Who is plotting against me behind my back? I suddenly have a bad feeling.”

“Little Weir, from now on, your three meals a day will be special. I will prepare the Materials for breakfast and dinner and send them to your house.

Lunch will be brought to school and handed directly to you by Lilith. As for the school lunch, forget it; for you right now, it cannot provide the immense power required by the Qi Seed.”

Senior Knight Moli seemed completely unconcerned about the impact this action would have on her Niece, or rather, she really wanted to see Lilith and Little Weir discussed together by everyone.
