Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 38 Legacy

Schwartz gave him a deep look. He didn't think that the ring could choose a person who barely was a two-star mage. He himself was a five-star fire mage, so he thought that only people equal to him or stronger could be chosen, but that wasn't the case.

'It seems that strength isn't the criterion but talent instead. It seems this kid should have some talent to be chosen to be selected.' Schwartz thought.

He then lazily said, "Kid, you are very fortunate to have found this ring. Even more so when You are chosen by that ring to be a potential successor to the legacy left behind by the crimson monarch."

...Claymore town, Garfield Manor...

Lilly went out of Max's room and hurried towards the maid's quarters. In a few minutes, she was in front of a building where all the maids of Garfield manor lived.

She took a deep breath as if to prepare for something and headed inside. When she entered, there were a few other maids in the main hall of the building who, after seeing Lilly had varied expressions. Some had friendly expressions, and some looked at her with jealousy, while others were just indifferent.

Just then, A mocking voice sounded out from the right side of the hall, where three maids were sitting on stone chairs and chatting.

"Isn't this our Lady Lilly? How come you are here? Oh, by any chance, are you here to get your things to shift into Young master's room?"

Lilly didn't need to turn to look to know who was speaking. She had already expected this. The maid who just spoke was Max's personal maid before Lilly joined. After Lilly came into Garfield manor, her position was given to Lilly, and due to this reason, she hated her the most.

In a noble house, an ordinary maid would only get limited benefits, and their freedom would be more restricted compared to a personal maid of a member of the house. A personal maid only had to report to the one she was assigned and, in some instances, to the lord of the house, whereas an ordinary maid would have to obey the orders of everyone and didn't have much of the free time.

She enjoyed being Max's personal maid for a few years, but with the arrival of Lilly, this lucrative position in the eyes of the maids was no longer hers, and she was demoted to an ordinary maid.

Lilly turned to look at her and said with a hint of anger on her beautiful face, "Caiyi, I don't know why you keep mocking me, but I advise you out of kindness to stop doing that from now on. I won't tolerate it anymore, and yes, I will live in Young master's room from today onwards."

Everyone looked at her in shock when she uttered those words. Some were surprised to see Lilly, who was usually a very good-natured and calm girl, to actually get angry, while Others were surprised to know that she was going to live with a noble family member in his room.

It should be known that normally, nobles don't like to come into contact with commoners as they think that commoners are beneath them. Apart from when they need guards, maids etc., to help them to do minor chores, they don't bother taking a second glance at them.

There are only a rare few cases where a person belonging to a noble family befriends a commoner. _​

"You will live with him?... how? Oh, I know. It seems you have managed to get into his bed, right? that's why you have become daring enough to talk to me like this, bitch." Caiyi got angry when she heard Lilly warning her 'out of kindness.' She then mockingly continued, "You'll only be this arrogant until he gets bored of your body and throws you out. Then I'll see if you continue being this smug." Her anger took control of her, and she started spewing out whatever came to her mind.

Two maids who were with her hurriedly tried to stop her from speaking anymore when they realised that if Lilly really has won the favour of the young master of the manor, then caiyi's situation might get worse if Lilly complained to him. As they were her friend, One of them placed her hand on caiyi's mouth to stop her from speaking while the other grabbed her, made her sit on the stone chair, and then hurriedly apologised to Lilly.

Lilly didn't say anything and went into her room, packed her things, and quickly got out. Just as she was about to get out of the hall, she stopped and glanced at caiyi before moving out without saying anything she wanted.

She didn't need to explain anything to anyone or get angry over some mean words. She knew that if people came to know about their relationship, she had to bear with their taunting. But that didn't matter to her. What mattered to her was that the one she liked cared for her and liked her back. As for the opinion of others, if she managed to get strong enough, they would automatically stop pointing fingers at her.

...Fire Mountain, Magma cave...

When Schwartz stopped speaking, Max had an incredulous look on his face.

He unconsciously mumbled, "Potential successor? Legacy of Crimson monarch?"

Looking at his face, Schwartz decided to explain a little more to the kid who, he thought, didn't have a clue about it. He slowly said, "Crimson monarch was one of most powerful mages in the history. He was one of the few who was able to reach the peak of the eight-star mage realm. With his powerful fire element and excellent mastery over it, he was called Monarch by people. If you are lucky, you might be able to get his legacy; that will make your future limitless."

Max nodded. His face clearly showed how incredulous he felt about this situation. From the books he read in the library, he knew about legacies and how strong a peak eight-star mage can be, and this is the reason why he found it hard to believe.

People who have strength above six-star mage, they are called King mage, Emperor mage and Monarch mage. Although the Mage association initially called them seven-star mage, eight-star mage and nine-star mage, respectively, but as they represented the peak of the power, the way to address them changed.

After one becomes a four-star mage, it isn't easy to advance further. Some talented and fortunate ones can advance further, but many stay at the five-star realm and six-star realm

Very few can advance above the six-star mage realm, and when they feel their lifespan coming to an end, they leave their legacies before passing away.

There are many instances where some people found these legacies left behind by five-star or six-star mages. After passing the trials left behind, they were able to acquire the legacy, which in the long term resulted in them becoming very strong and gaining the respect of the masses. But there are rarely any who managed to find and acquire the legacy of a king, emperor or monarch class mage.

But Max now had a chance to acquire the legacy left behind by a peak Emperor ranked mage whose strength was comparable to those in the Monarch mage realm. How can he not find it hard to believe?
