Don't confiscate my identity as a human race
Chapter 1532 868 Lanci's Return to an Old Haunt_2

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

After seeing the young man's face clearly, Christina immediately apologized.

She saw the gray coat and dignified back, and her first reaction was that the mysterious butler had returned. But for some reason, she felt that this person's aura was different from the butler's.

He seemed too much like an ordinary person now, no longer as extraordinary.

However, when Christina noticed the little black cat on the young man's head, she hesitated again.

That cat was clearly the elf cat that Rocky once fostered at the Baptiste family.

"It's me."

Lanci admitted helplessly.

He didn't intend to hide anything from the start.

"Rocky!"

Christina covered her mouth in surprise, then ran to Lanci's side, looking at their long-lost butler.

She never expected to see this mysterious guy again.

"You really have many faces, but this look with black hair and green eyes pretending to be young is quite eye-catching."

Christina looked up and down at their former butler Rocky's disguised appearance, laughingly commenting.

She thought Rocky should be an old monster, perhaps a Demon Race being who has lived for unknown ages. Now seeing him look even younger than during the brunette, green-eyed butler period, Christina felt slightly uncomfortable.

"Why do I feel like you're thinking something impolite? My lady."

Lanci asked Christina, an acquaintance, with a frown.

"No, no, I'm so happy you're back!"

Christina waved her hand casually, saying.

Even though she could never figure out what their temporary butler's real identity was, she just knew this mysterious strongman must have been doing crucial things during the South Continent's war times.

Now that the war is over, he probably has nothing much to do.

"How is your study lately?"

Lanci asked, showing concern for Christina.

"Don't ask about that right when we meet. I've already applied for a year off from the Royal Arolan Academy. It's quite reasonable to relax for a while, right?"

Christina covered the back of her head, full of reluctance to face the butler's questions,

"Come on, let's go to the Baptiste family. Although I don't miss you at all, since you left, Father and Mother always seem lost, they've almost treated you as if you're the family's son."

She changed the topic, inviting Lanci to follow her towards the direction of the new house located at North Shore 2 District's maple forest.

"Why are you here today?"

"I come often, always wanting to check on the old house, now just in time to play supervisor, to report the renovation progress to my parents."

"..."

"You see, this is how I found you?"

The two of them chatted as they walked along the street outside the mansion.

Under the careful craftsmanship of the construction team, this long-dormant building is gradually awakening, and it won't be long before it regains its former splendor.

The entire winter morning, the construction site was filled with the rumble of machinery, the hammering of nails, and the buzzing of magic saws.

The busy figures of craftspersons moved through the dilapidated mansion, bringing vibrant life to the once lifeless structure.

"But Rocky, you really needn't worry about my studies. If I were to go back to school now, those magic skills courses that give me headaches might be passed soon."

Christina's hair, cut short during the affair in Huadu, had already grown quite a bit longer.

Among her golden locks, a few strands were faintly tinged with the red of maple leaves.

The silver hairpin, engraved with a delicate, blooming rose, had tiny rubies inset at the petal edges, shimmering in the natural light.

"Did the Earl hire a tutor for you?"

Lanci glanced at the hair accessory, which was the same hairpin he had personally repaired for Christina.

"Tutoring is one aspect, but mainly it's..."

Christina began to tell Lanci about what happened after he left.

That day's incident left a scar on her chest and back, and even after coming back to life, there remained a scarlet, flaming scar that could not be healed by high-level healers and priests.

However, it was hard to tell if it was a blessing or a curse; since then, her previously balanced aptitude at the Royal Arolan Academy suddenly became attuned to the Fire Attribute, with same-level flames unable to harm her anymore, and her fire attribute spells gained a power she couldn't quite estimate.

"How about this, I'll find you a physician. He should be able to diagnose your condition. Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Lanci had a guess that it was the residual side effect of the epic spell, Other Shore Ashes.

Enon knew she would end her journey at Huadu that day, perhaps leaving something extra for Christina, likely not too harmful a bodily change.

But the top physician Migaya from the Rebirth Church should be able to diagnose it.

"What kind of physician, so amazing?"

Christina knew Rocky had some incredible connections.

To be more capable than the physicians hired by Count Bathist, they must be above Sixth-order in classification.

"His brother-in-law, meow."

The Cat Boss lying on Lanci's head answered.

Lanci immediately raised a hand to cover the Cat Boss's mouth.

Christina hadn't realized who was speaking at first, but following the voice saw it was the little black cat that spoke.

"You can talk?"

She asked, looking up at the cat as Lanci slowly let go.

Before, seeing this cat in the Posen Demon Realm and the Holy Silver Vine Arena, she only knew it was strong and could protect her but had no idea it could speak.

"Of course, meow."
