The next day, the Kane family mansion.

After taking Ashley to see Old Jack and making sure that he was not in danger of life, Lees led Ashley to a spare study on the second floor.

When visiting Old Jack just now, he was quite cooperative, telling Ashley that she had found a new teacher, who was much better than him, and asked Ashley to study with him.

Ashley nodded obediently.

Although she didn't know why Uncle Jack suddenly wanted to find her a new teacher, and she didn't know who her new teacher was, she believed that Uncle Jack and Big Brother Li Si would not harm her.

After seeing Joyce yesterday, Old Jack lay down all of a sudden, and Lees said whatever he wanted, and even faintly revealed the idea of wanting to join Lees's command directly.

Just kidding, this is a legendary powerhouse in this class, and no one is willing to give up such a rare opportunity.

Even Old Jack, who is about to pass the golden period of strength, hopes to get the guidance of the legendary powerhouse to make his strength go further!

Ashley sat there quietly and asked Rosie to dress her up in a new dress that fitted her, and now she looked as delicate as a doll, and she was really cute.

Li Si looked at the well-behaved Ashley with a smile, who would have thought that when she grew up, she would be a heroic and hot royal sister?

Putting the specially prepared snack in front of Ashley, Lees said with a smile:

"Let's have some snacks, it's for you."

When Ashley was officially accepted as a disciple by Joyce, then she would be equivalent to Li Si's sister, and Li Si naturally cared a little more.

"Well, Brother Lis."

After visiting Old Jack, Ashley was relieved and less restrained.

Picking up a small snack and tasting it, Ashley's eyes lit up.

It's so sweet, it's delicious!

Ashley has never eaten such a delicious snack, it is good that her family can eat enough, that is, life is a little better after Old Jack's funding, but Old Jack is not a fine person, he has never made something delicious for Ashley, and every day his food is still brought by Ashley from home.

"You don't have to worry about anything else, stay with me for the next few days, I've already arranged for someone to inform your Aunt Anna."

Li Si took a sip of black tea and said to Ashley with a smile.

He had already made it clear that Ashley was a child adopted by a widow named Anna, and Anna was in the hotel to help earn some money to support her and Ashley.

Although Old Jack later had financial support, Anna didn't seem to be idle, and still went out to work every day.

After thinking about it, Lees felt that when Joyce officially accepted Ashley as a disciple, he would just let Anna move over and help clean up the mansion.

As for Old Jack?

After waiting, I will definitely go back to Langai Street!

Otherwise, how to reach out to that group of players and play his role.

Ashley hurriedly swallowed the cake in her mouth and said:

"I see, thank you, Brother Lis."

Liss touched Ashley's little head, and it felt really good.

"Ashley, it will be my elders who will take you as an apprentice, and you will be my Li Si's sister in the future, just call me brother and brother in the future."

"I see, Brother Lis."

Although Ashley didn't know much yet, she felt Lis's kindness and nodded and said.

Lees smiled and didn't speak, quietly waiting for Joyce's arrival.

After waiting for a moment, the door to the study was pushed open from the outside, and Joyce walked in from the outside.

At this time, he was not wearing a standard butler uniform like before, but a black trench coat with light equipment of the same color, without the elegant and easy-going feeling before, Joyce at this time seemed to have finally woken up.

Joyce was still very formal in his preparations, after all, this was his first disciple!

Although Joyce found the butler's suit comfortable to wear, his dream was to become a noble butler when he was not adopted by the Kane family as a child.

Lees stood up, and Ashley quickly followed suit.

Is this my teacher?

Ashley looked at Joyce with some curiosity.

Looks about the same age as Uncle Jack, is it really better than Uncle Jack?

In Ashley's eyes, Old Jack was already the most powerful person she knew.

Waving his hand to signal that he didn't need to be introduced by Lis, Joyce stood at Ashley, looked down at her and said:

"I'll be your teacher from now on, little Ashley."

"My name is Joyce, you can call me Teacher Joyce in the future."

"I see, Mr. Joyce."

"Sit down."

Joyce nodded, walked over to the main couch and sat down, Lees and Ashley sat down as well, but Lees asked Ashley to sit closer to Joyce.

Joyce said straight to Ashley:

"Ashley, did you study with that golden assassin named Jack before?"

"Yes, Uncle Jack taught me a lot."

Ashley replied earnestly, and she sat there in a proper manner, already sensing the difference in Joyce.

Ashley inexplicably felt very close to Joyce.

It's like the feeling of being alone in the dark shadows when Anna is out and about.

"Your talent is very good, it is a talent called [Children of Shadow], which allows you to be born with a relationship with the Shadow Plane."

"You probably like to be in the dark, that's the effect of your talent."

"I have the same talent as you, so I know it well."

Joyce could see Ashley's curiosity at a glance and explained in detail.

Ashley nodded as if she didn't understand.

Joyce didn't care either, and continued:

"My transcendent profession, the Shadow Dancer, is a special class that is very good at wielding the power of the Shadow Plane, and you are well suited to be promoted to a Shadow Dancer."

"How about it, would you like to learn from me?"

Joyce patiently explained, after all, Ashley was still very young and had just come into contact with the otherworld.

If ordinary people hear the legendary powerhouse say this, they want to fight for such an opportunity.

"Joyce's predecessor is a legendary assassin, one of the strongest in the entire kingdom."

Li Si reminded on the side, worried that Ashley was still young and didn't understand anything.

"If I learn this, can I be as good as you, teacher? I want to protect Aunt Anna and Uncle Jack. ”

Ashley heard the words "strongest in the kingdom" and asked Joyce seriously.

Joyce looked at the determination in the little girl's eyes, and a smile appeared on her face.

"As long as you work hard, no problem!"

As a legendary powerhouse, he naturally believed that Ashley, who had the same talent, had that ability.

"I'll work hard, ask the teacher to teach me."

Ashley stared at Joyce and said she didn't want to see her loved one hurt so badly again.

"Okay, from today on, you can learn with me, you have a lot to learn."

Joyce said with a smile, glancing at Lees in passing.

Lees understood, Joyce was about to start teaching students, and this meant to let him leave first.

However, how could Li Si let go of such a good opportunity, maybe he could learn some useful assassin skills from Joyce!

"Uncle Joyce, I'd like to sit in on it too, okay?"

Li Si said with a smile and sent out a request to observe.

This kid! What can you understand as a mage?

Joyce smiled and shook her head, but didn't care.

With the relationship between Li Si and him, it is good to be able to increase his knowledge.

"Ashley, whether she is an assassin or a thief, when she is in the bronze and silver ranks, it is more about physical exercise and mastery of skills, there is no shortcut, only practice makes perfect, keep practicing."

"And after breaking through the golden rank, you begin to have the ability to master the power of the shadow plane, which is commonly known as the power of shadows."

"Shadow Jump, Shadow Strike, Shadow Fang, Shadow Armor, and other spell skills are actually the use of the power of shadow."

"The reason why you have to wait until the Golden Tier to start mastering these is mainly because before the Golden Tier, it is too difficult to master the power of shadows."

"Generally, only after becoming a golden rank can you easily establish contact with the shadow plane and use it to master the power of shadow."

Joyce raised his right hand, which was wrapped in a flowing cloud of dark gray condensed liquid.

Li Si carefully sensed the power of this liquid-like shadow, but he didn't feel any tangible breath.

The power of the shadow plane is not too clearly expressed, as one of the basic forces to build the main world, the characteristics of the power of shadow are more reflected in the aspects of stealth and ubiquity.

However, creatures living in the shadow plane, such as the Undead Shadow and the Shadow Mastiff, are more evil in their factions.

"This is the power of shadows, but if you want to reach my level, you can only wait until you break through the legend and enter the origin of the shadow plane to leave a mark, so you can mobilize so much shadow power."

"Ordinary gold-level assassins can only mobilize a little shadow power and operate at a shallow level in the shadow plane."

Both Ashley and Lees listened attentively, taking to heart the hidden secrets that Joyce had told.

This is valuable knowledge that no gold coin can buy.

"Ashley, your talent is the [Child of Shadow], this talent makes you inextricably linked to the shadow plane, and it is not difficult to master the power of shadow before the golden level."

"If you can master the power of shadows in advance, it will be of considerable benefit to your future growth."

Joyce said with a smile, dispersing the power of the shadow that had gathered in his right hand.

"Teacher, how do I master the power of shadows?"

Ashley's attention had been drawn to Joyce's remarks, and she asked hurriedly.

"Generally speaking, it is the process of contacting the power of shadow more and establishing perception with the shadow plane."

Joyce nodded and said patiently:

"But it's not without shortcuts, and it just so happens that I've mastered this method."

Joyce raised his right hand, palm facing up, and a dark gray bead like a jewel slowly condensed in mid-air.

Although it seems to be the power of shadows, Li Si knows that it is not so simple, just facing this orb, he feels a trace of lofty charm, as if he is alone in the face of the whole world.

"What is this?"

Li Si still couldn't hold back and asked.

Joyce glanced at Lees and said:

"This is the Origin Power of the Shadow Plane, which is very precious, and it is higher than the ordinary Shadow Power level, and it can also better help Ashley sense the power of Shadow."

"What am I going to do, Mr. Joyce?"

"Don't do anything, close your eyes, and I'll put this drop of Origin Power into your body."

"Don't be distracted, just feel it with all your might, and leave the rest to the teacher."

Joyce nodded.

It's easy to say, but this kind of operation is really too exaggerated, maybe only a legendary boss can do it.

Ashley closed her eyes and sank down.

Seeing this, Joyce gently sent the drop of shadow origin power in her hand to the center of Ashley's eyebrows, merging it into her body.

Ashley sat there with her eyes closed, dark gray air currents circulating beneath her skin.

Gradually, the dark gray airflow became less and less, and Ashley's frown soothed.

With a long sigh of relief, Joyce's right hand dropped from Ashley's forehead and laid Ashley flat on the couch.

"Did it work?"

After Joyce stood up, Lees asked.

"It should be no problem, now that Ashley has begun to absorb that drop of Origin Power, it will be good when she wakes up."

Li Si nodded, and then asked with some curiosity:

"Can that drop of Origin Power help people master the power of shadows?"

"There is this effect, but the requirements are also very high, and if you want to use this method, you must be born with a relatively high affinity with the shadow plane."

Joyce said with a smile, seemingly pleased with Ashley's talent.

"Hehe, do you think I have this talent?"

Li Si smiled embarrassedly, after seeing Ashley's process of mastering the power of shadows, he also wanted to try it.

Joyce was a little speechless, what kind of fun are you a mage, although you can also use some spells with the help of the shadow plane, but few mages take this as the main direction of cultivation.

But looking at Lees's expectant look, Joyce still didn't refuse.

Forget it, it's just a little more effort.

Although the power of the Shadow Plane's origin is precious, Joyce can still collect it, but he needs to dive into the deep shadow plane.

"Sit down."

Joyce raised his hand, and another of the same shadow origin power appeared in his hand.

Li Si hurriedly sat upright, closed his eyes and waited.

At this time, Joyce's heavy palm gently stroked Li Si's forehead, and a pure power poured into Li Si's body.

This power instantly spread all over Li Si's body, and Li Si felt that he had lost control of his body, as if he was immersed in a deep shadow.

Isn't that true?

Joyce felt the power of the Origin flowing through Lis's body, and there was no sign of merging at all.

There was no surprise, Joyce was ready to start taking the power of the origin from Li Si's body.

At this moment, Joyce sensed that a trace of origin power dissipated directly into Lees's body.

Well? What's the situation?

At this point, a new message popped up in Lis's system panel.
