"Casper Montgomery?" Jessica answered, but she did not sound interested at all.After she said his name, Jessica once again shut her eyes and started meditating.However, Lucy seemed to have expected Jessica's reaction. Then, she giggled and sat beside Jessica, teasing her, "Lady Jessica, are you uninterested? That's your future husband. I'll have to call him Master Casper when we meet.""I didn't agree to it, so it doesn't count." Jessica's expression did not change, and her tone was calm.Although Jessica did not show it, Lucy knew well that Jessica cared about this matter. Moreover, she cared about this more than anyone.Otherwise, why would Jessica immediately run away from home when she heard the future husband she never met was coming and stayed at the old town's ruins to avoid this matter? Lucy did not say anything but just chuckled as she looked at Jessica.After a while, Jessica appeared to be annoyed with Lucy's stare, and she opened her eyes. "Alright. What's with h
Seeing how Jessica narrowed her eyes and looked like an angered tiger, Lucy hurriedly explained, "Everyone said Master Casper’s just playing dumb, and there's more to him than what we see!" "Playing dumb?" Jessica blinked and nodded, "based on the current situation, that's pretty accurate. However, it's not enough.""What's not enough?" Lucy quickly asked.Despite knowing that the brat was asking that on purpose, Jessica still explained, "There's a saying in Aias that goes — An immature genius is not a genius.""Hmm. I've heard of that before." Lucy nodded her head, and she appeared to be interested in Jessica's commentary on Caspian."As for the inscription skills…" Jessica pondered for a moment and shook her head, “that'll surely be impressive for those in lower ranks. However, it’s just a minor art." "Minor art?" Lucy widened her eyes in surprise. She never heard Jessica say such a thing before.As the little girl suffered a heavy blow, she stuttered, "But… But… Lady Jessic
The elder persuaded Caspian a few more times, but since Caspian insisted, so he could only help him register the skill.Nevertheless, the elder also expressed that if Caspian wanted to exchange the booklet, he could do that anytime so long as the elder was there.Since the elder already offered that, Caspian wondered whether he should wait until he had mastered the Ursa Major's Blurred Shadows, but pretended that he learned nothing and returned to exchange the booklet. Otherwise, Caspian would feel guilty for the elder's kindness.Not long after Caspian left the martial art chamber, a Lawrence family member visited and chatted with the elder.After discovering what type of skill Caspian chose, he made an excuse and hurriedly left."The Ursa Major's Blurred Shadows? That incomplete martial art?" In a rockery behind the Lawrence Fort, Yoel received the news and was shocked.Moreover, the person in front of him was the one chatting with the elder at the martial art chamber just now.
Although Caspian was happy as he found a treasure, he understood that he still needed to reach the requirement to master the skills fully."The four-star footwork doesn't seem to have a realm requirement, but its standard for the strength and toughness of one's body exceeds an ordinary man's capability.After pondering for a moment, Caspian showed a bitter smile. "It seems that I still need to get a blood essence to strengthen my body."However, compared to how he did not own any money before, Caspian was in a much better situation now as he took away 600 fedulings from the other Lawrence family members, and James rewarded him with 2000 fedulings.Moreover, he also drew a few weight inscriptions two days ago, and he could sell them for a few thousand fedulings.In that case, Caspian could afford a few bottles of blood essence.Since he moved to Jordan's last place, the meals provided by the Lawrence family were much better than before. Nonetheless, it was still not enough to fill
When Chris looked up, he instantly saw Caspian. At first, he even thought he was dreaming, and he hurriedly rubbed his eyes.Once he was sure that it was Caspian, Chris's face bloomed into a big smile, and he hurriedly came over.At that moment, the servant was still nagging, "Brat, do you know who this is? He's the Oceans Chamber of Commerce's shopkeeper, Chris Feldman, and he's close to our Young Master Faye—""Young Master Casper, you're here!"Before the servant could even finish his words, Chris's loud voice interrupted him.His tone was so sweet that Caspian had goosebumps all over.The servant quickly chimed in, "Chris, it's Young Master Faye, not Casper — " However, before the servant could finish his sentence again, he saw Chris moving swiftly to Caspian and pulling his hand. He then completely ignored Faye. Then, Chris greeted in a friendly manner, "Young Master Casper, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for days! You're finally here!""Ss—"Faye and h
Caspian felt the situation was getting stranger."Perhaps Master William has an ulterior motive against me?"At the thought of that, Caspian's body tensed up, and he frowned.When Chris saw Caspian's expression, he thought Caspian was dissatisfied with the price. Then, he showed an embarrassed face and explained, "Young Master Casper, Master William set that price. As Master William will be away for a few days, he reminded me that we’d purchase your weight inscriptions for six hundred fedulings each, and other inscriptions will be double what the market value is. He’ll evaluate them when he's back. Moreover, he even mentioned that we'll give you a fair price, Young Master Casper. If he feels that the price is too low after appraisal, he’ll make it up to you in time. "After he said that, Chris's face was filled with envy. After all, none of the heads of the prominent families in Evergreen Town received such treatment before. Chris was envious of Caspian, but Caspian immediately r
Caspian drew a weight inscription as Maisie carefully observed each of his movements. She paid attention to all the most minor details.When Caspian was drawing, Maisie's expressions also changed a few times. She could be showing a faint smile, nodding, or even expressing a look of doubt.Nonetheless, after Caspian was done with his inscription, a hint of firmness showed in Maisie's eyes. Since Maisie mentioned that she would guide Caspian, Caspian did not hold back and asked her about his problems while drawing.Initially, Caspian thought Maisie would just give him surface commentaries such as he was skillful, great, and had potential. Unexpectedly, Maisie did not do that. Just like a teacher, Maisie pointed out each mistake and irregularities Caspian made during his inscription process. Moreover, she did not miss out on even the slightest part.Caspian was stunned when he heard her. After all, he truly did not expect Maisie to have been so meticulous.He knew that such a cha
When Caspian raised his head, he turned into a middle-aged man with a square face. Caspian initially wanted to add a scar on his face to appear fiercer, but he thought it would be too eye-catching.After pondering, he set another intention. Soon, a scar appeared from his left ear which extended to his neck, and he instantly appeared like a violent bandit."This should be enough." Caspian nodded and headed toward the old town ruins. Caspian was out early, but as he spent his morning learning inscriptions from Maisie, it was already evening when he reached the old town ruins."It's too late to return after I purchase the blood essence. It looks like I need to find a place to stay outside today. Thankfully, I have the shape-shifting inscription, so I’m not afraid of exposing my identity." Caspian thought as he looked at the tall brick wall ahead.The brick wall was as tall as a two-story-high building. It was mottled and covered with large patches of moss.Not far from Caspian, there
