Chapter 81: The Genius Girl in the Library
“You are?”
Huh? This voice sounds sowhat familiar.
William looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a figure in a black mage robe erge from behind the bookshelf.
The petite figure was tightly wrapped in the mage robe, with even the hood pulled over her head.
Apart from knowing it was a girl from the voice, William couldn’t discern anything else.
However, William didn’t expect the butler of the mansion’s library to be a mage. How co he had no impression of her?
“I’m William. Where did Joyce put the magic books that were sent here yesterday?”
William asked casually, glancing at the butler.
The person bowed respectfully and said, “The magic books brought by Butler Joyce are not placed on these shelves. Please follow , Master William.”
With that, the person led William to the other side of the bookshelf.
William noticed that there was already a magic book laid open on the nearby table. It seed that the butler had been reading magic books before he arrived.
“What’s your na, and how long have you been the librarian of this library?”
“I am called Lisa, Master William.”
“When I was eight years old, the old master brought , a wandering orphan, here. It’s been fifteen years since then.”
“Since Butler Joyce appointed , I’ve been responsible for managing the library.”
Fifteen years?
William felt sothing was off. It didn’t make sense for him to have no impression after spending fifteen years in the mansion.
Although there were a few instances in his previous mories when he ca to the library, there was no trace of a girl nad Lisa.
It felt very discordant.
“Lisa, are you a mage?”
William continued to inquire.
“Yes, Master William.”
“Master Brandan saw my talent and sent to the Magic Academy for a period of study. Since then, I’ve been studying in the library by myself.”
William asked further, “Lisa, what rank of mage are you now?”
The girl nad Lisa answered honestly, “I’ve been at the Silver rank for about six or seven years now.”
Hiss~
Without specialized tutoring, she broke through to the Silver rank around the age of sixteen, just by self-study. It was terrifying.
After so many years, with her talent, wasn’t she already close to the Gold rank?
With such talent, she shouldn’t have been an unknown figure in the ga world in his previous life.
“Can you put down your hood?”
William made a sowhat impolite request, but he couldn’t care less about manners at the mont.
The girl’s body trembled slightly, but she didn’t refuse. Slowly, she pulled down her hood.
What ca into William’s sight was an extrely beautiful face: delicate nose, slightly blushing cheeks, cherry-like lips, and a flawless lon seed face, with a hint of timidity in her eyes.
But what caught William’s attention even more was Lisa’s long hair, as white as jade, and her blood-red eyes.
Stunningly beautiful, it made even the knowledgeable William reluctant to look away.
To be honest, compared to Angela, the foodie, Lisa looked more like a vampire princess from a bygone era.
Seeing William sowhat stunned, Lisa hurriedly pulled up her hood again, her petite body trembling slightly, with a hint of disappointnt in her deanor.
When she was young, Lisa was ostracized by her peers because of her unusual white hair and red eyes. They called her a monster, a demon.
This left a shadow in her heart, so after coming to the Cain family, she preferred to stay in the library, wrapped up tightly, avoiding contact with others.
Fortunately, there was still the old butler taking care of her, ensuring that she lacked nothing in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and resources for cultivation.
Lisa also enjoyed this kind of life. The library was her little world, where she could study and research her favorite magic without having to interact with others.
However, for so reason, when Butler Joyce ca yesterday and brought so magic books, he told her not to hide anymore when Master William ca.
Although she didn’t know why, Lisa was willing to follow Butler Joyce’s arrangent.
It seed that I ssed up. I must have scared Master William.
Feeling sowhat disheartened, Lisa thought she couldn’t even do such a simple thing properly and felt useless.
William finally ca to his senses and blinked.
Without mincing words, Lisa’s appearance completely hit William’s sweet spot.
Who could resist the temptation of a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes!
“Why cover your face? You look so beautiful!”
“Hmm?”
Lisa suddenly raised her head and t William’s sincere gaze.
Feeling a bit unresponsive at first, a blush quickly spread across Lisa’s cheeks.
Thump thump thump~
Lisa couldn’t handle William’s gaze, so she quickly took a few steps back and hid behind the nearby bookshelf.
William couldn’t help but chuckle at Lisa’s little reaction. Fortunately, he had already found the magic books that Joyce ntioned.
However, William also confird that he had indeed never encountered Lisa, the character in the plot, in his previous life.
Otherwise, with her elegance, she could easily have competed for the top NPC spot most favored by players.
But, what if there were other possibilities?
William thought about it. Female mage NPCs who were powerful and of the right age in his previous life… forget it!
Shaking his head, William pushed this matter aside for now. It wasn’t urgent.
William began searching through the magic books brought by Joyce.
The content of these books was obviously much more advanced than what William had seen before.
“Discussion on the Balance Between Stability and Explosiveness of Fire Elental Particles in Spell Models”
“Advanced Elental Theory – Research on the Relationship between Elental Generation and Suppression”
“Comprehensive Guide to Necromancy Spells”
“Research on Engraving Space and Magic Control in Magic Rune Inscriptions”
William selected several magic books related to runes and decided to take the book on necromancy as well.
The rest could wait. He would co back for them after reading the ones in his hand.
While William was selecting magic books, Lisa peeked out from behind the bookshelf, watching William as he packed the books into his storage ring one by one.
“Lisa, I’m leaving now. We’ll exchange spell insights next ti.”
After packing away the selected magic books, William clapped his hands and greeted Lisa.
“Mm.”
A soft voice ca from behind, but William didn’t mind. He closed the door as he left.
Once Lisa was sure that William had left, Lisa breathed a sigh of relief.
The library returned to being Lisa’s world alone, which made her feel sowhat reassured.
She wasn’t experiencing so sort of teenage infatuation just now; she was simply caught off guard by William’s reaction.
“Master William is really strange!”
Walking towards the underground laboratory, William scratched his head while squeezing Angela in his hand.
He originally thought that Joyce was just an ordinary person who didn’t understand extraordinary powers, but now it seed that wasn’t the case.
Today, he clearly guided William to et Lisa.
For what reason?
William was puzzled.
Moreover, to think that there was a genius mage like Lisa hidden in his own ho!
It was simply unbelievable. Having a Gold-ranked Vampire was already surprising enough, and now there was the incredibly talented Lisa.
It seed that the Cain family wasn’t as simple as William had initially thought!
The waters ran deep!
However, William wasn’t worried.
After all, whether it was his innate intuition or the mories from his previous life, he believed that Joyce wouldn’t harm him.
