Chapter 497 Pick A Color, Nicole
The Forbidden Section of the Library was in a separate room in the library, which was protected by countless magical formations.
Entering it was near impossible unless the person entering had received a token from the Headmaster himself.
Because of this, even though Luna and Lilian screamed loudly, their voices didn’t reach the other sections of the Library, so they did not disturb the students that were reading there.
The boy laughed after hearing the two ladies scream, making Ethan frown.
“Relax,” the boy said as his entire body moved out of the bookshelf. “I mean all of you no harm. I was just curious about you guys since it has been a while since I have seen someone enter the forbidden section of the library.”
The boy, whom Ethan believed was around six to eight years old, placed his hands on his waist and eyed his visitors.
The most unique thing about him was that his body was nearly transparent, making Ethan think he was some kind of spirit or a ghost.
Since he had already seen the Will of Fortis Dud, as well as the Will of the Sword of Light, he was thinking that maybe this boy was also a Will that was left behind by his original body.
“Let me introduce myself first,” the boy said as he made a bow like a gentleman. “My name is Eileifr Eques. Since my name is a mouthful, feel free to call me by my nickname, Lyle.”
The boy named Lyle, had short hair, and a chubby figure, which made him look adorable.
But, since his body looked pale like a ghost, it was impossible to tell his hair and eye color.
“Eileifr Eques?” Nicole eyed the chubby boy with great curiosity. “Are you The Eileifr Eques, who founded the Eques Manor?”
“Yeah, that’s me.” Lyle nodded. “But, just call me Lyle. That is what my friends call me.”
The chubby boy then floated towards Ethan’s group, and sat cross legged on top of their table.
“I saw your battle earlier, Nicole,” Lyle said as she eyed the magic knight with great interest. “Truth be told, I am looking for a successor. However, I still couldn’t decide between you and Alice.
“The two of you are promising Witches, and both of you are worthy to obtain the treasures that I have left behind. However, I can only choose one of you, which leaves me in a dilemma.”
Ethan, who had an idea about what Lyle was talking about, couldn’t help but think of the golden egg that he received from Fortis Dud.
After sucking his magic powers for several hours, the egg was finally satisfied so it entered Morgan’s Ring on his finger on its own. nove(l)bi(n.)com
Since then, it would pop out from time to time, usually at night to leech his magical powers, while he was sleeping.
As if knowing what he was thinking, the chubby boy winked at Ethan and placed a hand over his lips.
Ethan nodded in understanding, which made Lyle give him a thumbs up.
Although he was a spirit, he actually managed to create a clapping sound, which broke Nicole out of her daze.
“Remember, you only have two opportunities,” Lyle said while raising two of his fingers. “So, make sure to think carefully before you give an answer.”
Given this kind of opportunity, Nicole thought long and hard about what kind of treasures the Greatest Magical Knight in history would have.
Since a sword and shield were not part of the choices, she was leaning on saying that it was armor.
But, her instinct was telling her that the treasures that Lyle possessed weren’t the obvious equipment that belonged to a Magical Knight.
Still, since there was a chance that it was an Armor, Nicole steeled herself and decided to use one of her opportunities to test her theory.
“Armor,” Nicole stated.
“Sorry, no Armor.” Lyle chuckled. “I knew you’d say that. Okay, one last opportunity. Make it count.”
Since she only had one chance remaining, Nicole thought long and hard on what kind of treasures someone like Lyle could have left behind.
A few minutes passed in silence, as everyone waited for her answer.
Luna and Lilian wanted to join the guessing game.
But, since they were not part of the Eques Manor, the chubby boy wouldn’t give them anything.
Finally after ten minutes, Nicole took a deep breath and gave her answer to Lyle.
“A Mount,” Nicole said, earning another chuckle from Lyle.
“Good.” Lyle nodded. “You guessed right. It is indeed a mount. But, do you have any idea what kind of Mount it is?”
Nicole shook her head, which made Lyle’s smile widen.
“Pick a color, Nicole,” Lyle ordered. “Any color.”
Nicole’s eyes widened in shock because if her guess was right, the color she would pick would decide what kind of Mount she would be having.
There were a few magical creatures, who used colors to define their identity.
But, among them all, there was one race that stood at the apex of the world, and it was none other than Dragons.
Nicole didn’t know if Lyle was just messing with her or not, but if what she thought was true then she needed to carefully think about what color she was going to say.
Not all Dragons were equal, and she would like to pick a Dragon that would perfectly match her elements, further boosting her effectiveness in battle.
