The First Female Duke

Chapter 8

As soon as Edith placed her hand on that crystal, it immediately reacted.

Originally, what Polina had said was to infuse the crystal with magic power. Edith wanted to do that, but reality didn't allow it ......

Oh, I should say, she didn't need to bother doing it at all, when she put her hand on the magic stone, the moment she felt it, this thing was like a powerful vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner sucked up the dust, this thing sucked up her magic.

Because Edith's eyes were closed, she couldn't see the expressions of the crowd. In the eyes of the others, from the moment Edith's hand was placed on the magic stone, the transparent crystal glared harshly, strongly, and undeniably red.

The magic power seemed to turn into jumping red threads, and at an extremely fast speed, a hazy hexagram pattern was outlined under Edith's feet.

Polina gently hooked up the corners of her mouth, and the other elders of the clan also revealed smiles of pleased satisfaction.

''Hmm, such an intense red color, Miss looks like an extremely gifted fire magician at first glance. The fire system is powerful in killing, the old marquis and madam are both of the fire system and are among the best, now apparently, the young lady has also perfectly inherited the old marquis and madam's talent, and Veli's lineage has been continued.

But the truth was far from ending like this, only to see the pattern of the hexagram under Edith's feet getting clearer and clearer and clearer - to the end the whole forbidden room was lit up with red light, and everyone's eyes reflected that huge and conspicuous formation diagram.

The crowd was surprised at first, and reacted with ecstasy. The only exceptions were the Prandy couple, especially Prandy, whose face could be a bit ugly now.

If Edith was just a junior with excellent talent, it would be fine, his son was equally talented, but what if her talent seemed to have surpassed that of Polina and the old Marquis? Originally, she was the first heir of the castle's next generation, so in this way, wouldn't they have no competitive advantage at all?

Leo stood next to them with a smile on his face, gazing intently at Edith in the center, seemingly happy for Edith from the bottom of his heart, his expression contrasting sharply with that of the Prandy couple.

After a long time, the light of the hexagram slowly dimmed, the crowd thought that today's Magic Awakening should have ended like this, but Edith on the stage did not know that.

What she felt on her side was that the suction power of the magic stone went from strong at the beginning to weak at the back, and finally disappeared.

Hmm? What's going on, is it over? Edith's mind inevitably flashed out this kind of question, just no one also shouted to stop, and it seems that this thing didn't suck out all her magic, it seems that half of it is still left? Edith remembered what her mother had told her at the beginning, "Inject the magic."

Perhaps it was only now?

With that thought, Edith poured the rest of her magic into the clear crystal again.

And this act created a frightening effect, originally the crowd saw the light disappear and thought that the awakening was over, but in the next second, it unexpectedly bristled with light again.

A strong, warm, white glow - surprisingly not red?

What's going on here?

Polina also froze slightly in a rare moment, and in the next second, it was as if she remembered something, could it be, Light?

It was hard to stop her heart from beating wildly.

It wasn't hard to guess, and the answer that inevitably came to the crowd's mind after the shock was that the next generation heir to their castle seemed to be a rare dual lineage magician, and one of them was still light.

Everyone was well aware of how rare and hard to come by the light system was in this world. If it was said that among the nobles, those who were able to successfully awaken accounted for ninety percent, then the percentage of those ninety percent who could emerge as a light system magician was less than one in ten thousand. The light system was so rare, and it was also the system that could best restrain the undead, so every light system magician was enough to make people rush for them.

And now, they, the Villey family, had even produced a light system magician, how could this not call for excitement.

If at first, Plenty's face was just a little gloomy, then now it could be said to be extremely ugly.

Light system! That little girl had actually awakened the light system, and he could almost think that as long as she could grow up smoothly and reach the right age, the elders of the clan would impatiently push for her to inherit the castle without the slightest bit of objection.

Edith felt like her body was being emptied, her current state was a far cry from the previous days when she had been so full of magic that she was on the verge of overflowing, the emptiness of her magic made her slightly dizzy, so much so that it took her a few moments of reprieve before she slowly opened her eyes. Then she was startled by a group of warm gazes, those previously high and cold elders in the clan were now looking at her as if they were looking at meat on a chopping board ......

Forgive her for being a bit rude in her description, but Edith really felt that if she could, this group of people might be able to pounce on her next second ......

Edith cried out in confusion:

"Mom?"

Polina, perhaps the calmest looking person in the room, said gently in the voice Edith knew best:

"You did well."

But Edith was acutely aware that her mother's voice was subtly different from the usual, and if Edith had to describe it it would probably be - situational surprise?

After the awakening, there didn't seem to be any difference from normal, but as Edith looked at the elders on the stage with eager eyes, looked at her mother who was smiling at her, and felt the smooth and orderly magical power in her body, she felt that everything seemed to be completely different.

Edith had completed all the awakening process in her own home, the family's nearly two years of costless and careful cultivation, the ancient and sophisticated awakening apparatus, so that Willey ushered in a fire and light dual lineage and innate magic abundant magical power of the wizard. All of this is a surprise, but also seems to be reasonable.

Just as geniuses were never common, the innate conditions of Edith's awakening were beyond the reach of most people. Most of the people in Violet Academy were unable to be like Edith, and their awakenings were usually accomplished in school.

For some of the newer nobles, the school's awakening methods might be much better and more precise than their own homes, such as the kind of formulated potions that could regulate and improve the quality of the body, or the ancient and mysterious awakening instruments, which were only available to the great nobles with a long history.

Elena came to Tagmart on the second day of Edith's magical awakening in a hurry, in order to be the first to know the news of her awakening, and the result was certainly surprising and pleasant, her eyes widened:

"Oh, if I heard correctly, you have awakened two faculties? One of them is still Light?"

Edith nodded with some small joy and a little shyness.

Elena didn't pay attention to Edith's expression, she still marveled, "How many years has it been since Nobia City had an awakened light system." Although the dual system is rare, it will appear every few sessions, but the light system is something that is seldom heard of.

Thinking about it, Elena's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally she slapped her thighs in an extremely unladylike manner, "In that case, in the future, even if I go to Sofia I'll still be able to dabble in your light ...... heh heh heh!"

The latter words she did not explicitly say, but Edith heard the tone know what it means - dip her light to continue in Sofia "for wrongdoing" only!

Sofia as the country's top magical noble academy, gathered countless talented noble young boys and girls, Elena can be a local snake in Violet, but in Sofia is not so easy.

Skimming her mouth, Edith encouraged her in a fake manner:

"Don't, maybe you can do it on your own without me, you're going to awaken in a few days, right?"

Edith smiled playfully and lifted her chin towards Elena, "Go for it Ms. Green, I think you have the talent to be the first female knight of Estara."

It was not known if Edith's mouth was open, whether Elena could become the first female knight of Esdara or not was yet to be verified by time, but Elena, who was consistently certain that she would be a magician, did, indeed, awaken the gift of knighthood.

Elena felt she was in shock, she asked her mother again and again if the testing instrument at home was broken, obviously she was a qualified and impeccable lady, why was it that she awakened the violent and rough knight talent?

Mrs. Grimm helplessly and regretfully told her, "The instrument at home is not broken, my sweetie, you are indeed awakened as a knight, and the instrument shows that your magic is extremely aggressive, which means that your talent as a knight is very good."

Elena wasn't comforted by her mother's words, all she could think of was a joke that her best friend Edith had once made, "Trust me, I think you might have a better future in knights."

A future? Screw her future!

Elena wailed, as if her consistently well-kept ladylike image had gone with the wind as a result of this awakening.

When Elena said all of this in a disheveled and hopeless tone, Edith bent over in laughter on the spot.

"Oh dear, you know I was only joking, I never thought it would come true ......" Edith wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes that had escaped from her laughter.

Without saying anything, Elena got angry as soon as she said it, she glared hatefully at Edith, "It must be all because of what you've been reading."

Edith sat up straight and cleared her throat, righteously defending herself, "Can you even blame me for that, we both know that everyone's magical talents are predestined - in this case, at best, it proves that I'm resourceful and wise."

Elena wailed and finally crumpled onto the table, seemingly giving up the struggle.

"Miss Green, mind your ladylike manners." Edith kindly reminded.

"Ladylike?" Elena rolled her eyes and said airily, "Oh come on, I've awakened a knight, think of me swinging with a giant sword in armor later, what's the point of talking about being a lady ......"

Edith couldn't help but giggle again.

After a very small portion of Violet's students who came from ancient noble families were prioritized for awakening, the school seemed to have set off a craze for magical awakening as an afterthought. Presumably these playful students finally realized that a very important point in their lives, had come.

Edith, that female mentor with a consistently mild temperament, now also finally couldn't help but solemnize her face.

"After the Day of Awakening, some of you here will be on a completely different path and direction."

"Some will be wizards, some will be knights ...... some will be overly gifted, some will be just plain mediocre, and it will all be determined, by the school you go to - whether it's Sophia, or a regular magic academy. "

When the female tutor said the word "Sophia" in a calm tone, the eyes of the boys and girls underneath seemed to light up, no one did not know what Sophia meant in Estara, as an ancient magic school, Sophia's long history exceeded that of many great nobles, and even it could be traced back to the founding of the country of Estara. The founding of this country.

Equally as famous as its founding history is its nearly harsh enrollment conditions - firstly, as a high-level noble academy, it is bound to accept only noble students, and secondly, having the status of a noble isn't enough, it wants nobles who are overly talented.

Sophia's long history and its harsh conditions for recruiting noble elites have allowed it to accumulate a terrifying heritage, think about the people who hold the main power of speech in Esdara, the royal family, the four dukes, the eight marquises ...... who among them did not graduate from Sophia?

Perhaps Sofia for the children from the big noble family is mediocre, after all, the underlying starting point is different, genius is often more likely to appear in those people, but for some ordinary small nobles, emerging nobles, into Sofia, where to get acquainted with the top of the Esdara network, and then use this to give back to strengthen the family, this is their eternal pursuit.

Edith was not very empathetic to these people's thoughts, just like the bottom and confidence that Polina had cultivated for her for a long time, entering Sophia was never Edith's goal.

Therefore, listening to the inspiring words of the female tutor on the podium, what Edith thought in her mind was what her mother told her yesterday.

"According to the rules, when you go to Sophia for school, you should pick a chaperone, in two days it will be Violet's Awakening Day, you can see if there's anyone you like at the Awakening Day, of course, it's best if they belong to our family."

Said her mother handing her a list of names.

Edith was so wrapped up in the long list of names and the families behind them that she had been thinking about it all day today.

The female mentor at the top of the table had talked about the exact time of the day of awakening, and Edith held her chin in one hand and tapped the table with the other:

"Accompanying reading ah ......"
