[Divine Blood]?
What is that?
Ryan had just raised this doubt when a slight stinging sensation came from where Andrea's fingertips were located.
Immediately after, a faint and cool force seemed to wander through his body, as if searching for something.
Unfortunately, in the end, it returned without achieving anything.
A moment later, Andrea withdrew his finger, and the expression on his face visibly cooled down, the previous gentleness in his gaze completely vanishing.
He turned his head and said to the Leon couple, "It seems I've made this trip for nothing."
Leon heard this, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but he also knew the extraordinary efficacy of the [Divine Blood] and couldn't help but ask.
"Is Ryan's bloodline ... quite low?"
"Very low."
Andrea admitted: "even lower than the illegitimate child from the cadet branch, almost at the same level as the servants in the clan."
"After returning, I will give a fifth-rank evaluation and record it in the clan archives."
Leon was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded and said: "I understand."
"There's one more thing, about the East Rhine Company mentioned in my previous letter..."
When it came to the main business, the two quickly entered a room in the manor to discuss the details.
During this process, Andrea never looked at Ryan again.
What a snob!
Ryan leaned against his mother's embrace, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
At this moment, Andrea's attitude was not one of disgust, but simply indifference.
Just like facing an unrelated little infant, a stark contrast to the previous gentleness.
Ryan could tell that Andrea had previously placed high hopes on him, but was completely disappointed after testing his bloodline.
However, the fifth-rank?
Blood lineage is so low?
Honestly, when Ryan heard these words, to say he wasn't disappointed would be a lie, after all, [Divine Blood] sounded pretty impressive. But if he didn't have it, well, that was fine too.
This was never something he could decide.
Ryan didn't believe that, with his mother's elven bloodline, the [The Perfect Existence Tome] and his own efforts, his achievements would be inferior to those with higher bloodline.
Nevertheless, Andrea's attitude made Ryan feel little goodwill towards him and the Alexander Clan.
"Little Ryan."
At this moment, Franka lowered her head, playfully winked at Ryan, and whispered softly: "What of the [Divine Blood]? We don't care."
"When you're a bit older, I'll take you back and complete the elf race's "Enlightenment Ceremony", and then I'll make that old grump completely shocked."
"Hmph, how dare he look down on my son..."
Franka muttered resentfully.
Despite her age, she was not considered old among the elves, and her character still naturally retained a girlish side.
Listening to Franka's words, Ryan felt warm inside; this feeling of being loved and cared for was truly wonderful.
This feeling, even in his previous life, he had rarely experienced.
The memories his parents left him from his previous life were mostly indifference, suspicion, verbal abuse, and occasional beatings.
Because of this, Ryan had long considered Franka as his true mother.
He silently made up his mind that when he grew up, he would definitely protect Franka, not letting her suffer even the slightest harm.
Time passes swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, Ryan was three years old.
As the hot summer has passed, the sea breeze blowing in carries a hint of autumn's coolness.
Ryan stood on the third-floor balcony, gazing at the vast expanse of blue waves in the distance, looking every bit like a mature little adult.
In two years, many things can change.
Ryan has grown a little taller, his strength has increased somewhat, and he has skillfully mastered the two abilities of walking and speaking.
Not only that, but the [Mystrum] on the tome had imperceptibly grown to 1.3.
Now, Ryan could basically confirm that this was the effect of "attracting the ocean's Mystrum" described in [Gaze of the Deep Sea].
Through his parents, Ryan gained a deeper understanding of [Mystrum].
Under normal circumstances, most people are unable to store [Mystrum] within their bodies.
Only after stepping on the [Mystrum Path] can one awaken the [Mystrum], causing an invisible magical organ to form within the body.
This "organ" is not a physical object, but rather a concept in mysticism.
It is a container of [Mystrum], a prerequisite for Beyonder to use [Mystrum], and the foundation of all [Mystrum Path]!
Ryan's situation was like having awakened the [Mystrum] prematurely, but without mastering the corresponding method of using it.
Thinking about this, Ryan let out a small sigh.
"At least, my [Mystrum] is increasing every day, growing stronger even while sleeping."
"Compared to those who can only start [Mystrum Path] after awakening, I'm already ahead at the starting line!"
Aside from the changes in Ryan himself, the development of Black Ensign Island was equally significant.
The most intuitive point is…
More and more ships are docking in the port on the island!
Compared to two years ago, the "Black Ensign Pirate Crew"'s scale seemed to have doubled.
As the facilities on Black Ensign Island became increasingly comprehensive, there was a faint trend of it emerging as a maritime commercial trading hub.
Ryan heard that his father's business was growing larger and gradually becoming legitimate.
East Rhine Company
Full name -- "Lanster Empire East Rhine Trading Company", which is the new name of the "Black Ensign Pirate Crew".
However, every time Ryan heard this name, his feel a bit strange.
...Why does this sound so much like the name of a colonial company?
No matter what, Ryan looked on with joy at his father's rapidly growing business.
As Leon's career grows larger, his future life will become more comfortable. Isn't it nice to just be an ordinary rich second-generation heir?
At that moment.
The voice of the maid behind him interrupted Ryan's thoughts.
"Master Ryan, it's time for class."
As soon as he heard "class time," Ryan's little face immediately turned bitter, but he still honestly said: "alright."
After realizing that Ryan was exceptionally precocious, Franka gradually began to arrange various courses for him, including reading and writing, as well as the geography and history of this world.
In a short while.
Ryan walked into a room, where Franka, wearing obsidian glasses and holding a teaching whip, was already waiting for him.
In fact, Franka did not have myopia, and the pointer in her hand was just a prop, but she still liked to dress this way.
According to her own words, this was her chance to satisfy her teaching fantasy, and she looked quite intellectual!
Perhaps, It's a kind of cosplay?
How could Ryan feel about such a hobby of his own mother?
Of course, he can only accept it.
However, Franka did indeed have the qualifications to be a teacher.
Because she herself is a Beyonder of [Scholar] [Mystrum Path]!
