Chapter 199: Collecting Some Money
He let out a chuckle hearing her enthusiastic words, ’Yes, I should focus on forming a few more affinity runes now. In the next few days, I’ll just stay at the mansion and do it.’
Lumi’s curious voice resonated cheerfully inside his head.
[Master, are you really going to form multiple affinity runes back-to-back? Won’t that put a strain on you? (◕︿◕✿)]
Orion smiled calmly, responding reassuringly, ’No worries, Lumi. It might have put a little bit of strain on my Sea of Consciousness, but now that I’m at the Third Level and my SoC has become massive compared to back then, no problem will arise. Besides, practicing with each rune will only deepen my overall understanding.’
[Hehe, Master always thinks things through thoroughly! You’re really impressive!
Orion shook his head slightly, chuckling softly at Lumi’s overly enthusiastic praise as he approached the exit gates of the academy.
From a distance, he easily spotted Edgar’s figure waiting patiently, alongside Lucan, who lounged lazily against the obsidian carriage, his carefree posture contrasting sharply with Edgar’s refined demeanor.
Upon seeing Orion approaching, Edgar immediately straightened, respectfully bowing his head with a gentle smile. "Young Master, welcome back. Did your class go well today?"
Orion smiled warmly, nodding gently in return. "It was excellent, Uncle Edgar. Many of my questions were clarified thoroughly. However, before we head home, I’d like to visit the market first to check personally on Magi’s progress."
Edgar nodded calmly, clearly expecting such a request. Lucan, overhearing Orion’s words, stretched exaggeratedly, yawning lazily as he slowly climbed back onto the driver’s seat. "Ah, another trip to the market? Young Master Orion really loves making me work, huh..."
Orion raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Lucan with a playful yet pointed glance. "Grandpa Lucan, you’re only sitting there holding the reins, hardly exhausting yourself."
