163: Chapter 96 Ancient Lineage 163: Chapter 96 Ancient Lineage Lola lifted her right hand, revealing the palm to the golden-haired girl.

Olivia stared blankly at the mage’s gesture, somewhat puzzled.

“Hold my hand, and I can examine your bloodline.”

Lola’s golden pupils fixed on the girl’s eyes, “If you feel offended or are not interested in delving into your ancestry, that’s alright.

I just thought I might have encountered a descendant of ‘that person’ and acted on a whim.”

“No, Miss Lora, I don’t feel offended, and I’m curious too,” Olivia said somewhat awkwardly, waving her hand.

She removed her Iron Gloves and grasped the delicate and elegant fingers of the mage.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel amazed…

The other party said they might know her ancestors, but how old could this mysterious and beautiful lady be?

Lost in wild guesses, Olivia saw Lola close her eyes.

A gentle light then began to emit faintly between the fingers of their clasped hands.

After a moment, Lola opened her eyes again.

“…Indeed.” She looked up at the golden-haired girl, who was anxious in front of her.

“The first time I met you through Li Ang, I felt an indescribable sense of deja vu.

Although golden hair and blue eyes are rare among the Felu people, they can’t serve as proof.

However, now, looking at your physique combined with the current state of this land in this era, you truly are that person’s descendant.”

Olivia blinked, feeling completely confused by what she had just heard.

Lola still held the girl’s hand, asking her what she wanted to do, “However, since ‘your father’ hasn’t told you these things, you still have a choice to make.

After all, this could greatly affect your future life.

Perhaps you need to consider whether you want to know the truth about your background.

If you forget everything I’ve said now and live out the rest of your life as an ordinary blacksmith’s daughter, that would also be a good life.”

The truth my father hasn’t told me about?

…Olivia was startled.

“Will it really affect my life?” The golden-haired girl looked into Lola’s serious eyes and couldn’t help feeling anxious.

“For you, indeed, it would have a huge impact,” Lola nodded.

She turned over Olivia’s palm so it was face-up and asked rhetorically, “Haven’t you ever wondered how different your body is from others?”

“What do you mean?” Olivia looked at her own palm, which Lola had spread open.

“Li Ang,” Lola turned her head, “show us your hand as well.”

Leon complied, removing his Hand Armor and revealing his palm.

He examined his own rough and calloused hands, strengthened by solid joints.

Then he glanced at Olivia’s pale and delicate palms.

Hey…

pretty…

Ah?

No, that’s wrong.

Leon immediately realized the stark difference between the two.

The original owner of his body was the son of a commoner hunter, someone who had done all manner of rough work from childhood, naturally resulting in worn and hard hands.

And since awakening, his continuous handling of various weapons and martial training had long formed thick calluses in his palms.

This was normal.

But looking at the golden-haired girl’s hands…

Olivia, although living in the affluent household of the Brian old blacksmith’s in Selva Village, had also done her fair share of farming and had been wielding coarse iron rods for martial training in private for many years.

So how could her hands now appear as if they’d done no manual labor, as delicate and beautiful as those of a noble lady?

“Olivia, have you never developed any calluses on your hands?” Leon inquired.

He didn’t share Kira Yoshikage’s fetish and hadn’t really paid much attention to this particular aspect of the girl before.

“No…

I asked my father about it when I was younger, but he told me that some people are naturally like this, nothing to be surprised about,” Olivia squeezed her palm.

This had been the case for as long as she could remember, and she had grown accustomed to it—after all, which girl would complain about not having calluses?

“Developing calluses is a protective response that most living beings have to skin abrasion, but if one has self-healing power far exceeding this instinctive mechanism, then naturally, it can keep the skin’s condition perpetually at its best,” explained Lola.

Lola let go of Olivia’s right hand, “It’s not merely the skin that doesn’t wear…

It seems you’ve always been good and never played with the flames in the forge at the blacksmith shop.

Otherwise, if you had been just a bit mischievous, you would have discovered that fire can’t harm you at all.

A high concentration of Magic Element can render you immune to the heat reactions of burning.”

“I’m…

not afraid of fire?” Olivia’s beautiful green eyes widened in surprise.

“There are many things you needn’t fear,” the Miss Mage confirmed with a nod, “Your bloodline inherited a unique Flame Sun System Life Science Magic Technique in its entirety.

And your consistent, strenuous martial training over the years has exactly replicated the ‘training memory’ within your bloodline, further activating the active, high-density Magic Element within your body.

The effect of physical training on the circulation of Magic Element in an ordinary body is nothing compared to such a natural advantage.

That is why you possess physical abilities, perceptions, and Life Force far beyond those of an ordinary person.”

“Lola, I’ve heard you and Kovis mention ‘Magic Element.’ What exactly is Magic Element?” Leon couldn’t help but interrupt and ask.

“Magic Element is one of the fundamental substances that support the existence of all animals, plants, and spiritual beings in the Mortal World, and it can be converted to the greatest extent possible with Natural Magic and Chaos Magic.

The amount and density of Magic Element within a living being roughly determines the growth form of life,” the Miss Mage answered.

She motioned to Leon with her hand, “Don’t worry, I’ve written a Magic Guidebook explaining the basic concepts in Felu Language for beginners.

Take it with you, and when you have some spare time, you can take a look ahead of time.”
