Chapter 379

This question made Luo En stop in his tracks.

He turned to look at Princess Yi Fu, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes.

The girl bit her lower lip:

"Mother... her protection of me is near-paranoid; any attempt that might bring risk will be severely rejected by her."

"We should not attempt such a major trial behind your mother's back."

Feeling the reluctance in the other party's tone, Luo En just shook his head firmly:

"Moreover, Tower Master Cassandra is the most knowledgeable about your physical condition; her opinion is crucial to the success rate."

Princess Yi Fu was silent for a long time, her heart clearly undergoing an intense ideological struggle.

Eventually, she seemed to make some kind of compromise:

"Then... I can contact Mother and discuss this possibility with her, hoping to persuade her."

At this moment, deep in Luo En's heart, there was another purpose.

Contacting Cassandra this time would be a perfect opportunity to handle Chester's matter.

Taking the initiative to contact Cassandra for such a trivial matter as pleading for a colleague would likely lower his evaluation in her heart.

Now, it would be handled indirectly through Princess Yi Fu, the intermediary.

According to You Yu Te Er, Cassandra was almost responsive to every request from this only daughter, and any contact from Princess Yi Fu would also be connected instantly.

As for You Yu Te Er, this mentor... last time facing the life-and-death crisis of Cha Ye, pulling a projection to fight would be complained about a few times...

It must be said, the contrast was very obvious.

Thinking of this, he spoke directly:

"Since I am to contact your mother, I would like to ask her to help handle a small matter by the way.

An academic colleague has encountered some difficulties and hopes to obtain her forgiveness."

Princess Yi Fu nodded; although she had little interest in such political struggles, since it was Luo En's request, she was of course willing to help.

"Of course, Mentor, if it is your request."

Her tone carried a certain fawning, as if as long as she could help Luo En, the relationship between the two could be stabilized.

"Then... I will start contacting her now." Princess Yi Fu walked toward the magic crystal communication array in the corner of the room.

That was a mirror surface made of star crystal, capable of crossing space for real-time communication.

When the girl placed her hand lightly on the mirror surface, the entire device immediately emitted a soft purple light.

"Mother, it is Princess Yi Fu; I have important matters I want to discuss with you."

Her voice became ethereal and clear under the conduction of magic power.

Two seconds later, the mirror surface began to fluctuate, rippling like water.

Then, Cassandra's face gradually appeared in the mirror.

Even across a vast spatial distance, those deep, purple-vortex-like eyes were still emitting a suffocating sense of majesty.

"Princess Yi Fu?"

Cassandra's voice carried obvious concern, and also a hint of surprise:

"My treasure, why are you contacting me so late? Has something happened? Your body..."

Hearing her mother's concerned inquiry, Princess Yi Fu sighed lightly in her heart.

On one hand, she could feel her mother's sincere love for her;

On the other hand, she had to admit that this overprotection sometimes made her feel suffocated.

"No, Mother, quite the contrary."

Princess Yi Fu took a deep breath:

"My condition is better than ever before."

Seeing the rosy complexion on her daughter's face, a look of obvious surprise appeared on Cassandra's face.

As the creator who single-handedly manufactured the girl before her, she knew the other party's usual condition too well.

This healthy luster was something she had never seen in fourteen years.

"You look... indeed much better."

Cassandra's tone became more focused: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Of course, it is still because of Mentor Luo En, Mother."

Princess Yi Fu's voice began to tremble; it was an emotion intertwined with excitement and gratitude:

"The grace he bestowed upon me is still continuously alleviating the magic-devouring symptoms. Now I can already live normally in a low-magic environment."

Hearing this news, Cassandra's expression underwent a drastic change.

"Grace... the pure grace of a Primal Wizard... the effect is actually this good..."

She repeated in a low voice: "I should have thought of it earlier! I should have attempted it before..."

Cassandra suddenly stopped talking to herself, her gaze refocusing on her daughter:

"What is the specific effect? Can you mobilize magic power now?"

"I still cannot conduct normal meditation practice."

Princess Yi Fu answered truthfully, but her voice was still full of hope:

"But the pain has been reduced by at least 70%, and this improvement seems to be continuous."

"Continuous..."

Cassandra repeated this term thoughtfully, clearly thinking about the deep implications:

"This means that the grace is fundamentally improving your physical structure, rather than simple symptom alleviation."

Just at this moment, Princess Yi Fu proposed that bold hypothesis:

"Mother, I want to discuss a possibility with you. Mentor Luo En is about to break through to the Sun-Moon level; this major advancement will produce a strong feedback of grace."

She took a deep breath and mustered the courage to say her greatest desire:

"If I can borrow the huge energy of this feedback, perhaps... perhaps I can break through to the Morning Star level in one fell swoop and become a formal wizard."

This proposal left Cassandra completely stunned.

She stared at the hopeful eyes of her daughter in the mirror and was silent for a full minute.

"Princess Yi Fu..."

Her voice became extremely complex, with both surprise and worry:

"This kind of idea... is theoretically feasible. The feedback of grace produced by the breakthrough does indeed have the power to change the essence of life."

But immediately, the Great Wizard's rationality gained the upper hand:

"But the risks are also huge. The essence of magic-devouring symptoms is a backlash at the rule level; if the energy of grace conflicts with this backlash..."

"I am willing to bear any risk, Mother."

Princess Yi Fu interrupted her without hesitation, fire burning in her eyes:

"I have lived in hell for fourteen years; if this attempt fails, it is just returning to the starting point. But if it succeeds..."

Her voice became dreamily gentle:

"I can obtain true freedom."

Cassandra looked at the determination in her daughter's eyes and frowned.

As a mother, she of course hoped her daughter could get rid of the torment of illness; but she also clearly knew the danger of this attempt.

"Wait..." She suddenly realized another problem, her purple eyes becoming sharp:

"Princess Yi Fu, you just said Luo En is about to break through to the Sun-Moon level? His progress has already reached this degree?"

"Yes, Mother."

Princess Yi Fu nodded to confirm: "Mentor said he is already preparing for the relevant breakthrough ceremony."

"Less than three years... from Morning Star level to Sun-Moon level..."

Cassandra muttered in a low voice, a look of contemplation appearing in her eyes: "Even for a Primal Wizard, this speed is..."

She shook her head and temporarily cast this thought aside:

"Regarding your treatment plan, I need to discuss it in detail with Mentor You Yu Te Er and my ancestors. This kind of attempt involves too many unknown factors and must ensure foolproof safety."

Disappointment surged in Princess Yi Fu's heart, but she also understood her mother's caution.

"I will return to the main world as soon as possible." Cassandra continued:

"Within a month at the latest, I will give you a clear answer. Before that, you continue to accept Luo En's guidance of grace, but do not conduct any risky attempts."

"I understand, Mother."

The witch in the mirror seemed to think of something, her gaze turning to Luo En at the edge of the projection:

"Luo En, I see you are there. Come over, let me thank you properly."

Luo En walked to the communication array and bowed to Cassandra in the projection:

"Tower Master, this is just what I should do. Princess Yi Fu is a student I cherish; the alleviation of her pain is also a great relief to me."

Seeing Luo En appear in the mirror, Cassandra raised her eyebrows.

Her voice carried a hint of teasing:

"Luo En, you staying by my daughter's side so late makes me, as a mother, a little worried."

Princess Yi Fu on the side blushed upon hearing this, and before Luo En could speak, she helped out:

"Mother, it was I who asked Mentor to stay and accompany me!"
