My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 219: Naomi Refusal and the Alliance

Aur slowly took sips of his tea, the warm liquid soothing his nerves as he gazed in front of him with silence.

"Hmm, the increase in the devour ability has significantly boosted my muscle mass attribute," Aur thought to himself. Although he had been allocating all his stat points into intelligence, the increase in muscle mass was unexpectedly higher.

"Young master, is this force enough?" Elara meekly asked as she massaged his shoulder.

Aur felt the minuscule power of her fingers and couldn't help but shake his head.

Observing his reaction, Elara despaired.

"It's fine, you can leave now," Aur said lightly, taking another sip of tea while gazing at his garden.

"Yes, Master," Elara softly replied, bowing before leaving.

Once she had departed, a frown creased her face.

"Seraphine has already been demoted from head maid, and Master rarely calls me nowadays. If this continues, we might be discarded soon," she murmured helplessly. Her younger sister was a little silly and a little naive.

Feeling her sour hand, Elara became even more speechless.

Every time she massaged Aur, his muscles would be as strong as steel. Even when she applied all her strength, she could barely make a ripple in them. She could feel his muscles becoming stronger and stronger, and his height increasing slightly each time Elara visited him.

"Sigh, what should I do to have something of worth again?" Elara muttered.

Meanwhile, Aur casually took the last sip and finished the remaining tea. His mind felt refreshed from the fragrant brew.

Aur stood up and walked towards his garden. The seeds he had invested so much in planting had finally begun to grow, one by one.

He looked at the twisted plant, which had already grown to a height of 3 feet in just a short time. The aura of a strange harmony resonated within it.

However, some of the seeds he had planted didn't germinate and died.

This was natural; Aur wasn't a farmer and didn't have extensive expertise in agriculture, so it was inevitable to incur some losses.

Especially since these seeds needed to be nurtured with mana, the difficulties of growing them were at least ten times higher than normal ones.

Care and protection must be given, as even the slightest touch could completely destroy these delicate plants.

Aur needed to constantly supply mana to the seeds from time to time.

While they did absorb mana from the surrounding environment, even in his grand residence where mana was higher than outside, it still needed some mana from time to time.

Thinking of this, Aur shook his head with a sigh and began to harvest all the mature flora that he could find, leaving the immature ones to grow further before harvesting.

He also planted new seeds to replace any that had failed to germinate.

By the time he finished, five hours had already passed.

"Time really passes in the blink of an eye," Aur remarked to himself as he stood up. Just then, Lily and Elara knocked on his door.

"Come in," Aur said in a light tone.

The two immediately entered.

"Master, your finance is asking for you," Elara informed him.

"Oh," Aur raised his eyebrows lightly. "I almost forgot about her," he thought to himself.

"Lead the way," he instructed.

"Yes, young master," Lily and Elara said in unison as they slowly guided Aur. However, their gazes were full of jealousy.

Aur simply ignored the changes in his servants. As long as they didn't overstep their bounds and fulfilled their duties as servants, he wouldn't care.

"Naomi," Aur said lightly the moment he entered, looking at the purple-haired woman in front of him.

"Aur," Naomi looked at him with a complicated gaze. "Who would have thought?" she murmured.

"I heard you wanted to talk to me," Aur said expressionlessly.

"Yes," Naomi nodded.

"What is it?"

Naomi hesitated for a long time before she resolutely said, "I already like someone."

Aur paused, looking deeply at her. "So what should I do?"

"Deny-"

"That's impossible. You can talk to the second elder yourself," Aur shook his head, turning to Elara. "Show her the way to leave."

"Yes, Master," Elara said, guiding Naomi out.

"You…" Naomi gritted her teeth in frustration.

Aur simply shook his head, and she could only helplessly leave.

"How stupid," Aur muttered to himself once he was alone, before returning to his training.

Since the vision he first saw depicted him being killed in the beast tide alongside his family, naturally Aur knew one thing: if events unfolded in an ordinary manner, he would meet a miserable end. However, the future he saw differed from his current reality.

In the future where Aur met his demise, there was a badge with blurry numbers on it.

Though he couldn't discern the exact numbers, he knew one thing: they denoted that he was still a student. Yet, considering the present situation, he was already an elder which indicated that he was already stronger than his previous self.

Aur tightened his fist, causing the air to tremble with just a slight movement.

"Besides, I have enough personal strength to be confident in escaping even from tier two wizards," his eyes flashed with an indescribable light.

…

"Leader, we have received confirmation of an alliance from all the villages, and the meeting point has been decided in the wilderness," the messenger reported.

"Oh," Noah acknowledged the news with a nod.

"Sigh, this will be troublesome for the other four villages combined. We will also have five tier three wizards, however…"

Noah's eyes narrowed as he slowly stood up, opening the secret compartment and entering the room within.

"Lord Sky," he addressed respectfully.

"What is it?" a hoarse tone tinged with coldness emanated from inside the room.

"Will you be able to help us escape the calamity of the beast tide? William has only just reached the mid-tier one wizard realm and is still far from reaching the tier two wizard realm," Noah spoke nervously.
