"Big brother, can you buy me a flower?"

John, who was walking down the street, looked to the side when a cute little girl was holding a small basket of bright flowers and looking at him pitifully.

After a moment of silence, John gave her a copper coin, but when he took the little girl's flower, John was stunned.

"Ding Dong, trigger the cultivation task - Spell Genius, a genius with extremely high spell adaptability, no matter what kind of magic he faces, he can learn faster than ordinary people, please train this promising little girl to become a mage who has stepped into the realm of heroes. Reward Usbil's Scepter. The time limit is five years to complete. Failure penalty, which deprives the host of its spell talent. ”

First of all, John remembered a sentence in his head, "Don't miss the opportunity and never come again!"

John never thought of accepting apprentices, perhaps because it was troublesome, or maybe he didn't think it was necessary, so he devoted himself to research.

Now it's different, the one in front of me is a once-in-a-lifetime magic genius, a mage destined to leave his name in the history books in the future.

Leaving aside the rewards for completion and the penalties for failure, the sheer sheer ability to spell was enough for John to spend any effort to train her.

You know, spells are more difficult to learn than magic, magic depends on talent, spells not only rely on talent, adaptability is the key,

Spell is a kind of spell that needs to be built in the mind to build a complex and huge spell network, and it does not need to use magic to drive spells, but human spiritual power, that is, the spiritual power generated by the soul, with the help of the spell net, can be cast with almost no spells.

I think that he was able to learn spells in the first place, or because he killed a mage and transplanted the mage's spell net to his own soul, which is quite a complicated project.

Spell adaptability is a talent that many people dream of, and can quickly comprehend the true meaning of spells and weave them into the spell network, but in fact, only a few people have this talent.

And these few people, without exception, are famous mages in a certain country, strong people who have entered the hero realm.

So, there's a reason why John is so excited.

To be honest, if it weren't for the task punishment issued by "Infinite Possibilities", he still had a bold idea in his heart, directly killing the little girl and transplanting her spell adaptability talent to his body, he believed that his spell ability would definitely increase significantly.

In fact, you don't have to train her obediently, install a tracker on her body, ignore it and leave it alone for five years, and she will be deprived of her magic talent due to failure, but John can still take her body, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone at that time?

Of course, these were just John's intentions, and he was a sane lich who could not have done such a mad thing.

John called back the little girl, without beating around the bush, and said kindly: "I am a mage, do you mean to be my apprentice?" ”

"Hey" The little girl made a surprised voice, it seems that she also knows what the mage represents, just like an ordinary person who is suddenly told that you are the savior, he believes, most people will not refuse, suddenly, John felt stable, and he disdained to use the trick of deception on the little Lori.

But unexpectedly, the little girl refused, and after apologizing to John, she left in a hurry and blended into the crowd.

John doesn't know the situation, be reasonable, this kind of temptation is not something that normal people can refuse, could it be that he didn't show any real skills, and then the little girl thought he was a liar who trafficked in human beings?!

Well, it's very likely, John was annoyed by his awakening, but luckily he set a tracking spell on the little girl when she ran away, and he didn't have to worry about not finding it, so John chased after her.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the street, John stood in front of a noble mansion, looking up and down always felt that something was wrong, and it was not wrong from the perception that the little girl entered this is the place.

So the question is, the little girl is dressed as a civilian, or is she buying flowers, how did she get in?

He hadn't heard of the aristocracy buying flowers for a living, was there any reason?

In a little interest, John threw a stealth spell on his body, and walked into the door guarded by the doorman unscrupulously.

As soon as he entered the spacious house, John heard the woman's invective.

"Who do you think raised you?! Dare to ask me for money! That cat was originally a wild cat, and it was better to die of illness! ”

The woman, dressed in a gorgeous costume and bloated by eating too much food, pointed at the little girl with a pale face and scolded.

Next to the woman stood a good-looking young girl, who said disdainfully, "The daughter of the dignified earl went to buy flowers on the street? What a shame on us! ”

Another haughty girl, her eyes full of disdain, said, "Tiffany, I hope you remember who you are and don't tarnish our family's name." ”

Tiffany, a little girl who was aggrieved and almost cried, could only accept it silently in the face of the "teachings" of several sisters and stepmothers.

Looking at the dying black kitten in her arms, she still didn't want to give up, she stubbornly raised her head, looked at the girl in front of her with teary eyes and prayed: "Sister Mary, Harlan is really dying, I beg you, just give me a little money to take it to the doctor." ”

Mary, the eldest proud girl, looked at the black cat in Tiffany's arms with a look of disgust, and said, "How many times have I told you not to pick up the wild cats and dogs outside, why don't you listen?" If we are infected with some disease, how are you responsible? ”

Tiffany said hesitantly, "I, I'll just keep it outside." ”

The woman was impatient, and she said, "If you are so stubborn and disobedient, don't go back to this house!" Whether to choose this home or this dying cat, you choose, right? ”

Tiffany finally couldn't hold back her tears, but none of the three women present went up to comfort her, but watched coldly.

The woman said to the old butler who was watching the battle, "Gehr, why don't you go and lose the cat?" ”

The old butler looked embarrassed, but he still walked up to Tiffany and said, "Miss Tiffany, give Harlan to me." ”

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Tiffany hugged the black hat in her arms, resisting the old butler's outstretched hand.

The woman frowned: "Tiffany! ”

Tiffany cried like this, and the woman became angry, and she motioned to the old butler with her eyes.

The old housekeeper was in a dilemma, and sighed helplessly in his heart: Miss, don't blame me, for your own good, I can only do this.
