Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Prodigy

[Five days later]

Lira and Gabriel continued their journey to the Royal City, only taking short breaks on the way. Along the way, Gabriel asked Lira many things about the city since it was his first time going there. He wanted to know as much as he could about the city and things that he needed to be careful about.

Lira also didn't hold back in giving all the information she had. In fact, she loved talking. Before the arrival of Gabriel, she had no one to talk to. She used to be so silent that, at times, she even forgot what her own voice sounded like. Now she talked so much that she barely stopped.

Lira also taught Gabriel more about the Grimoires and how the spells are unlocked. She even told him how a mage could strengthen their souls and advance to become a stronger mage.

Gabriel absorbed every bit of knowledge he could since he didn't want to stay weak. His goals were bigger than that. He needed strength, and for that, he needed to know how to get that strength.
