Chapter 955: Teach Magic

Chapter 955: Teach Magic

“Please teach me about magic.”

“!!!” Evelyn didn’t expect this request.

“Time element…” Bella sucked in a cold breath. Nathan had become more and more monstrous than she thought. He was more monstrous than the monsters in history. First, an absolute element, then this time, he had an ice element.

To have an element, one needed to have a source, which could only be gained through the lifebound contract.

If Nathan had multiple elements like this, he was basically standing at the same level as Evelyn. No, he might be beyond Evelyn, as she realized there was no pattern in Nathan’s element.

Evelyn’s gravity and space originated from her two familiars, but Nathan? None. It was as if this element appeared out of thin air.

That was why it wouldn’t take too long for her to realize Nathan could materialize an element out of nothing. Although there might be a limitation or condition, it was definitely beyond what Evelyn had.

“…” Evelyn paused for a moment before asking for one confirmation. “Do you want me to teach you as your mentor?”

A mentor was less than a teacher. She would be treated as a senior, so it shouldn’t mess with the seniority.

Nathan shook his head. “No. I did tell you from the beginning, right? I came for a trade.”

“A request, huh?” The request he mentioned was not about asking her for something. Instead, it was a request that a mercenary would get for a reward.

Evelyn pondered. The request wouldn’t be that hard, considering Nathan wasn’t an outsider. But Nathan’s request was slightly concerning since it would be the same as sharing her own method to utilize her magic or come up with one.

In addition, that would also be how Nathan did it in the future.

Evelyn snapped her fingers, forming a magic circle underneath them. They then disappeared from the room.

“…” Bella pouted. “I guess I can’t listen to them. Not fair.”

“!!!” Nathan looked around. They actually arrived in the forest outside the mansion. “Why do you bring me here?”

“If you are requesting me to teach you, you should know I’m not cheap, right? Or are you going to say you’re asking this as my subordinate?”

Nathan’s expression turned solemn. The second part meant he would basically become Neyeid and Sonia. When that happened, he would probably regret what came next, even if it meant he could get Evelyn to teach him for free.

Nathan shook his head calmly. “I’m asking you as an equal. Of course, I’m aware of your worth. You are Evelyn Lavender, a woman who once stood at the peak of the younger generation.

“You were so talented that people believed you could stand toe-to-toe against the current world’s strongest, Elysion Aquamoon.

“Having such a person to teach me magic is obviously like a dream come true. However, that’s exactly why I’m making this request to you.

“I haven’t prepared the reward this time, so basically, this will be me owing you a favor. If you want to destroy the organization behind the Divine Hand, I will destroy it for you.”

Evelyn walked closer before whispering, “In that case, if I ask you…”

“You want my body?” Nathan took a step back, acting as if he had been wronged. “I can give you my body, but you can’t have my heart.”

“Stop acting.” Evelyn’s eyebrows twitched. She wanted to pay Nathan back for all the teasing she was subjected to, but Nathan managed to counter it by being even more shameless. She let out a long sigh before asking, “If I ask you to tell me about the source of your element as my price?”

Nathan raised his head before shaking his head. “Unfortunately, I can’t fulfill that request.”

Even though they had known each other for a while, the Soul Contract wasn’t something he should disclose to an outsider, no matter how much he liked Evelyn.

Of course, it would be a different case if Evelyn became his. But that was just for the future. He knew Evelyn might kill him if he overdid it anyway.

Evelyn crossed her arms. “What if I tell you I don’t want anything else other than that secret?”

“That’s a shame…” Nathan smiled helplessly. “I have no other choice but to ask Sage Leyfon to teach me magic. Curse is also considered a rare element.

This was Nathan’s stance. The reason he came to Evelyn was because he believed he was closer to Evelyn than Leyfon. In the end, Leyfon would accept him simply because his disciple was Selena.

However, Evelyn was different. She would accept it because of mutual agreement, allowing her to have an equal standing on the agreement. While Nathan needed someone to teach him about magic, he wasn’t desperate enough to lower his standing.

His last move would be asking Charlotte, but Charlotte’s teaching wouldn’t be as effective as Leyfon or Evelyn.

After understanding everything, Evelyn made her decision. “Alright. I will teach you.”

“Do you have anything you wish for me?” Nathan asked.

Evelyn shook her head. “Not at the moment. I will keep this favor first.”

“I have to remind you that I won’t be paying for more than it’s worth.”

“We’ll see…”

“…” Nathan observed Evelyn’s poker face. It felt like she had a plan in mind, but he didn’t know what she planned to request. “I understand. Make sure I can do that favor.”

“I know…” Evelyn smiled. Evelyn was probably the only person in this world who had seen the darkness in Nathan’s heart.

Nathan was a devil. Even if she owed him a favor, Nathan would show no hesitation in killing her the moment she struck his reverse scale, in this case, his family. He was the type of person who would kill her first and repay the favor in other ways instead of letting her live to repay that favor.

Of course, Evelyn had another plan in mind, which she couldn’t do at the moment, but it might be different in the future. At the same time, she didn’t really know whether she should proceed with the plan or not.

Evelyn raised one finger. “Still, even if I can’t ask you about your secret, I still need to know one thing so that I know how to teach you.

“You… Do you have a time element source in your body?”
