Chapter 35: Locke and Lamira’s Secret

Upon hearing this, Locke immediately checked the status bar of the Steel Dragon and discovered that the core component was indeed fused from the source of a person’s magic! Locke was initially depressed about this, but after a moment, he became happy.

Through his personal system, he could directly extract the Lamira’s magic essence from the dragon’s heart! However, at this stage, it was not suitable to tell Lamira about this.

After some pondering and looking at this woman who had been heartbroken over her lost magic essence, Locke made his final decision.

“Lamira, do you believe in miracles in this world?”

Hearing this, Lamira glanced at Locke in confusion, only to see a serious expression on his face.

“There are many things in this world that cannot be explained! What I can tell you is that I can restore your magic essence right now. So, you just need to tell me if you want to recover it or not!”

After hearing Locke’s words, a strange feeling surged in her heart!

She had lost her magic since she was young, so she did not fit in with the people around her. Although the people around her didn’t outrightly ridicule her about it, she could feel their ‘malice’ toward her at all times. Because of this, Lamira vowed to become a magic researcher like her grandfather.

Many years later, she succeeded, but she was very lonely. The higher she went, the more alone she became!

“Wha—! Are you serious?”

As soon as she said that, she refuted, “No one can do such a thing! You’re lying! Back then, my grandfather did everything he could, even killing innocent people, but he was not able to make it happen.”

As she spoke, she leaned on Locke and started to cry. From her words, Locke seemed to learn something from the past. The high priest had done something very bad. However, this was something that could not be helped. After all, the High Priest’s main goal was still for the benefit of the Dunmei Kingdom.

“Trust me, stand still and don’t move. Your magic essence will be restored to your body very soon!”

With that, Locke placed his hand on Lamira’s head and commanded the system to extract the core of the first generation Steel Dragon. Then, he spent all his points in the system’s merchant shop to exchange for a bottle of Advanced Healing Potion.

With the use of the two items, Lamira’s magic essence returned to her body.

After completing all of this, Locke hurriedly opened the potion in his hand and poured it directly into Lamira’s final potion.

It took less than fifteen minutes.

Lamira’s gradually sensed the presence of her magic essence within her body.

“Wha—! It’s really restored!” Lamira cried again.

The source of magic that had always been in the core of the dragon, had been injected with magic for a very long time. Hence, once it returned to Lamira’s body, she obtained the strength of a Magister.

After losing her magic powers for so many years, she had never given up on learning magic. Even if she could not use it, she had recorded all these spells deep inside her brain. After recovering her magic, she cast a few support spells on herself, jumped off the steel dragon, and began flying freely in the sky.

After experiencing all of this, she immediately felt satisfied and flew to Locke’s side.

“Thank you very much! I don’t know how you did it, but I will keep this a secret for you. From today onward, this will be our secret! Also, regarding the first generation steel dragon’s core, I will fix it as soon as possible.”

Looking at the happy Lamira, Locke felt comforted. Now, he felt that he had repaid Lamira for taking over the rights of the first Steel Dragon!

After returning to the Hanos Science and Technology Tower, Locke immediately returned the second generation Steel Dragon to Lamira.

After this test, Locke’s identity had increased by a stage.

He was now not only the “Light of the Future” of the Dunmei Kingdom, but also one of its secret weapons.

After leaving the Hanos Technology Tower, Clifford immediately received the king’s secret order. However, this time, the king’s secret order did not stipulate anything particularly important. It was mainly an order to request for them have a good rest.

Upon hearing this good news, Locke almost jumped up in joy. “This is great! Let’s go back for a while! It’s been half a year since I came to the academy, and I haven’t returned home since!”

Actually, Locke did not really want to return to Reynolds, but there was still some longing for home deep in his memories. In addition to that, these few months had been too tough on him. Returning to a familiar environment would reduce the pressure he felt!

The main reason for returning home was to explain to his father about Princess Vicki. After all, there were too many things that happened to him during this duration. If he did not go back and explain things to his family, they would realize that he had changed drastically.

Hearing this, Clifford immediately became happy. “This is good too. I heard that Reynolds is a very beautiful island, and it has many beautiful women! This trip will definitely not be in vain!”

Hearing Clifford’s anticipation, Locke immediately summoned his Steel Dragon that no longer had a core. As the steel dragon was still in the first stage of its unsealing, Locke did not need the power in its core at all. He could just use flying magic power to enable the Steel Dragon to fly in the sky.

Therefore, when Locke left the Hanos Science and Technology Tower, he handed the core of the steel dragon to Lamira without any worries. He would let her do all the thinking and work to repair the steel dragon’s core. After all, at this stage, the core technology of the second generation Steel Dragon had become more complete. She no longer needed to use the dragon soul or a human’s magic essence to create something like before.

As they were flying high up in the sky, Clifford asked Locke. “Locke, have you thought about how to tell your father about Vicki when you reach home?”

Locke immediately stretched out his hand and covered his forehead. “Explaining Princess Vicki’s matter is secondary! Don’t you think I have to think of a way to clear things up with Queen Melissa first?”

“Oh! That’s true. I’ve been so busy recently that I almost forgot about this! Well then, let’s discuss how to deal with that first!”

Locke rolled his eyes at him. “Shouldn’t you be the one to explain this to my father?”

Clifford immediately turned his head and stared at Locke. “Are you serious?”

“Aren’t you my mentor? Furthermore, these things were conveyed to me by you. Shouldn’t it be more convincing for you to explain it to him?”

Clifford never imagined that he would be trapped by Locke in such a roundabout manner..
