“I’m just a little short on practical experience, the theory is crisp. First of all, if the magic stone is tinged with yellow, it is likely to be a light attribute.”
As if to show off, Tanashia held her wrist forward and showed the magic stone of the bracelet she was wearing to Askan in detail.
Water attributes are blue, fire attributes are red, light attributes are white, and dark attributes are black, etc.
It didn’t always come out in the same color 100%, but it was possible to distinguish to some extent because the colors of the magic stones that often come out for each attribute were the same.
The problem was that just because she inferred that it was a light attribute, it did not mean that she could find out what kind of magic was given.
Because there were more than one or two magics that could be used in the light attribute series.
“Second, the material of the bracelet may vary according to the preference of the person who commissioned or made it, but.”
Tanashia twirled the bracelet around as she shook her wrist. And she reiterated her words as if explaining to Askan.
“But this is strangely made of cheap silver. It’s not a material that goes well with valuable magic stones. There must be a reason why the bracelet was made of silver.”
Tanashia’s inference was accurate.
To Askan’s ears, it was all correct. Her knowledge was abundant despite having only studied theory.
But that did not mean that the magic engineering weapon was not dangerous.
“So you know that each country locks their own magic engineering weapons in case they fall into other people’s hands.”
“Of course I know.”
Some magic engineering weapons were priceless.
Because valuable weapons should not be stolen and used by others, there existed a system called the lock, a system that prevents a person who has not been engraved from using force and explodes if they try to use the weapon’s force forcibly.
Therefore, asking Tanashia to figure out the ability of the bracelet and how to use it on her own was a very dangerous task that could lead to death or serious injury if not careful.
“So you’re still going to do that homework knowing all that?”
“Don’t worry. Although the master is a bit strange, there must be a reason why he gave me such homework. I have to make the strongest weapon in the world, so I have to take a little risk.”
Tanashia’s courage was remarkable.
Askan turned his eyes away from the bracelet filled on her wrist. He had done enough to discourage her to this extent.
He had been lying flat all the while to hide his identity somehow, but the fact that he had such an honest conversation about magic stones meant he had done everything he could.
“I understand. Please do as you please.”
“Are you worried about me?”
“Who…!”
It’s not like I’m worried.
He wanted to say that, but suddenly he was at a loss for words.
Even after thinking about it, Askan found it hard to define his feelings under a different name.
‘What does it matter to me whether Miss Tanashia is doing well or not.’
It would be fortunate to have one less person who knows his secret.
Therefore, he could not admit his feelings as worry. It was just a small courtesy for all she had done so far.
“Think whatever you want.”
“Damn, you’re not honest.”
Although his response was too grumpy for a slave, Tanashia just lightly laughed it off rather than pointing it out.
“Don’t worry. I have a plan.”
It was ridiculous that Tanashia reassured him in this situation. It felt more like a friendship than a relationship between a master and a slave.
Askan wiped away the absurd thought that had come to his mind.
‘Let’s not think too much.’
He had to leave soon anyway. He would have no more to see Tanashia soon.
He thought he would feel good when this day came, but it was a bit strange because it was not as much as he thought.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
