Chapter 112: Catherine’s Gift, the Legend of the Mage Tower

Walking out of the room, Catherine said to him very seriously, “Thank you, Joelson.”

Joelson shook his head and said, “The Lucca family’s current situation is partly because of me. Juliana is my first friend in the Tulip Magic Academy. This is what I should do.”

Joelson looked at Catherine’s pale and thin face and comforted her, “You should rest early too. The Lucca family will be rebuilt soon. I’ll go now.”

Catherine was silent in front of Joelson. The moment Joelson turned around, she suddenly grabbed his hand.

“Wait, I have a gift for you.”

Joelson was a little surprised.

Catherine did not explain but led him into a room.

It was a lilac decoration, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. It was Catherine’s boudoir.

“What gift do you want to give me?” Joelson asked in confusion.

He remembered that Catherine had said before that the Lucca family’s last money had been used to buy the five pieces of green truffles.

Catherine looked directly at Joelson, her light blue eyes filled with determination, gratitude, and thick shyness.

Catherine took a deep breath and said, “It’s me.”

“Joelson.”

Catherine seemed to have mustered up her courage and walked forward, hugging Joelson tightly.

Her body was slightly trembling, and her voice was trembling as she said, “You have done too much for the Lucca family. Other than this, I have nothing else to repay you. I know that Juliana likes you, and I will wait for her to get better.”

As if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head, Joelson’s brain instantly cooled down.

“Catherine.”

His spiritual power slightly pushed Catherine’s body away.

Joelson sighed and said, “You don’t have to do this.”

Catherine stubbornly shook her head and said, “No, if I don’t do this, I will feel uneasy.”

Catherine looked at Joelson with infatuation, and her expression was a little pitiful. She whispered, “Joelson, do you know? Actually, I am very jealous of Juliana.”

“She can go to Tulip Magic Academy without any worries. She has teachers and classmates to accompany her, and she has a teenager that she has a crush on. I’m only two years older than her, but I have to support the entire Lucca family and fight against a group of greedy and cunning businessmen.”

“I’m really so tired.”

Joelson’s expression was complicated.

Catherine walked up again and gently hugged Joelson.

“Let me rest in your arms for a while, okay, Joelson?”

...

Joelson woke up in the morning, and Catherine lay quietly in his arms.

The incident from last night was still very clear in his memory. If it were to be spread out, it might become the laughingstock of the nobles.

Many young nobles would come into contact with these things when they were twelve or thirteen years old.

Joelson’s actions were a little too big, waking Catherine up.

“I’m leaving.”

A trace of deep disappointment flashed across Catherine’s face, and she responded softly.

Joelson took a few steps forward, thought about it, and bent down again, leaving a gentle kiss on Catherine’s forehead.

“If there’s anything else, come to the Tulip Academy in time to find me.”

Catherine was a little surprised, but she felt shy and sweet.

Without turning his head, Joelson left. He was afraid that Juliana would see him.

Catherine stood in front of the window sill and watched as Joelson’s figure gradually disappeared.

Then, she climbed back into bed. After one night, her body was already sore, and she wanted to have a good rest.

Suddenly, the door of the room creaked open.

Juliana stood at the door and looked at Catherine.

“Sister.”

Catherine was surprised, and then she revealed a surprised smile.

“Juliana, you look much better!”

Juliana responded, nodded, and went into Catherine’s arms.

The two sisters had not talked to each other intimately for a long time.

Catherine felt exceptionally relaxed. It was the feeling of having someone to rely on behind her, and not having to support everything alone.

Julianna’s careful voice sounded in her arms.

“Sister, do you like Joelson too?”

...

The incident last night continued to ferment, shaking the entire capital.

Many people woke up from their dreams and saw the extremely terrifying giant dragon in the sky.

Prince Antoine was executed for conspiracy and treason, and countless people were discussing this.

Fortunately, the identity of the dragon rider, Joelson, was sealed by the royal family and did not spread out. Otherwise, who knew how many people would be shocked.

The news of Antoine’s death also made many people cheer. There were also commoners and nobles.

It seemed that everyone had a lot of resentment toward Antoine.

More than 500 million gold coins and jewelry were confiscated from Antoine’s mansion. It was said that when Charles III heard the news, he was very angry and smashed three of his favorite crystal cups in a row.

The annual tax revenue of the Alcott Empire’s national treasury was only 50 million gold coins.

In total, Antoine was even richer than King Charles III.

The brotherly feelings that they had before suddenly disappeared.

“Once the students graduate from the Tulip Academy, they are not qualified to enter the Mage Tower for the trial. Therefore, even I don’t know what it looks like when the mage tower has more than sixty floors.”

Harriet Terrence instructed Joelson.

In the upcoming trial of the four countries, Harriet Terrence hoped that Joelson would be as strong as possible, so he suggested that he challenge the Mage Tower again.

“Teacher, what’s the reward for the first fifty floors of the Mage Tower?”

Joelson could not help but ask.

Harriet Terrence shook his head and said, “I’m not very sure, but every person who passes ten floors for the first time and gets the reward has a much better understanding of the magic they practice. Almost all of them can instantly cast magic of the corresponding level.”

“Instant magic?!”

A hint of doubt appeared on Joelson’s face.

Could it be that the reward for every ten floors of the Mage Tower was an instant magic method?

If that was really the case, it did not seem to be of much help to him.

“There’s only one exception.”

Harriet Terrence suddenly said, “Who?”

Harriet Terrence said with a complicated gaze, “Ulysses. He was the first to pass the fortieth and fiftieth floors, but he did not master the instant cast of the fifth and sixth level Earth Magic. It’s very strange. If he had mastered the instant cast magic like those people before, perhaps he would not have stopped at the fifty-sixth floor.”

Harriet sighed. Ulysses was the pain in his heart.

“Teacher,” said Joelson consolingly

Harriet shook his head with a smile and finally said seriously, “Joelson, you don’t have to hide your strength. Use your battle partner.”

Joelson was slightly surprised. Harriet allowed him to cheat?!

“There has been a legend in the Mage Tower.”

Harriet solemnly said to Joelson, “As long as you can clear the hundredth floor of the Mage Tower, even a mage with inferior talent can immediately become a saint-level!”
