"Your mastery over ether manipulation is truly astonishing." Professor Polonia did not return to the Frost Tower, but instead, at Ansel's warm invitation, she stayed in Red Frost City for two days. These two days were enough to convince her to extend her stay for a third day. This scholar harbored a profound sense of rustic compassion, perhaps because she herself was of common origin and found a glimmer of opportunity for a better life in the Frost Tower, or perhaps because she was devoted to academia and rarely involved in the dark underbelly of this absurd society. In any case, she was one of those rare individuals who hoped for a morally better world. Therefore, when she witnessed the incredible transformation of Red Frost City, Polonia hoped to see more hopeful and beautiful scenes. Ansel, while reading the books of that world and studying the thoughts of that world, often admired the great figures who left a strong mark on the history of that world. For that world, at a certain point, a great figure proposed a view about "capital", which was incredibly important, equivalent to the "extraordinary power" in this world — "capital will alienate people".

Although his theory could not be fully implemented in this world, many of his views were adapted by Ansel to a certain extent. Capital will alienate people, and so will power, or rather... the alienation of power is more direct, more terrifying, and more... deformed. The extraordinary will extract people from their original social concepts, distort them, and turn them into something else, something that does not fit into the society that gave birth to the "human" element. Therefore, people like Professor Polonia and Seraphina, who have not been alienated by the extraordinary, are very rare and precious. Returning to the matter at hand, Polonia is currently in the backyard of Ansel's mansion, demonstrating her unique ether manipulation techniques. "These are just immature skills that haven't reached their full potential yet." Although she was not young, the professor, who did not often interact with people, seemed a bit embarrassed: "In your eyes, they are nothing." "That's not the case now." Ansel pointed to his head and smiled, "Even now, I only have one head, I'm not a strong person." The pact heads of Hydral, among the upper echelons of the empire, or among the first and second tier of strong people, was not a secret, and they all wondered why Ansel had not yet chosen any pact head. You know, nearly ninety-nine percent of Hydral's power has been split up in this way, leaving only the original nature that this final beast cannot cut. Although it is equally powerful, if other "heads" had not been born and grown, then this origin would be hard to support alone. Polonia looked at Ansel's smiling face, gradually clenched her fists, as if she had made some kind of decision. "Lord... Hydral!" This professor, who was destined to become a top-level strong being, seemed so humble and small in front of Ansel, and asked with a trembling voice: "About your... pact head, can I ask a question?" "Of course." Ansel raised his eyebrows, "As long as it's not too secretive, I won't refuse to answer." "As you know, the things you've been doing lately have been widely reported in the Northland and the Empire, and by the way... Seraphina, that child, her name has also... entered many people's field of vision." Polonia lowered her head slightly: "In fact, many people have come to me, wanting to know about her, I have refused many, but some people... you know, I, even the headmaster, may not be able to refuse." "Yes, I understand, Seraphina is the same, and her situation is not a big secret, is it?" Hydral smiled, not taking Polonia's "betrayal" of Seraphina's information to heart: "She is a genius, and the deeds of a genius are the brilliance that cannot be concealed. Even if you don't say it, they have plenty of ways to know." Polonia was silent for a moment, and said somewhat bitterly: "Thank you for your tolerance, but... what I want to ask is not this." "I... I heard from their conversation, and the news that has been circulating recently..." "You have already regarded Seraphina as your own pact head, haven't you?" Her own former student has become the pact head of Hydral, who has been influential in the empire for a thousand years, and even in the Sky Conquering Dynasty before the empire, what an enviable honor! But Polonia's eyes and expression revealed the scholar's inner panic and unease. What is she uneasy about? She may feel that only she knows, but Ansel, who has seen all this, has a slight smile on his corner of his mouth. The young Hydral did not expose the professor's unease, but answered generously and calmly: "Yes, I recognize Seraphina, I see her as a part of me." He raised his hand and looked at his hands that only wore one ring, and sighed: "It's been empty here for sixteen years, it's time to add a new ring." "Seraphina, she has an amazing physique that can rival etheric monsters, an extraordinary intuition that can create infinite possibilities, and an indomitable will that will never succumb to any hardship." Ansel's smile became brighter, he ignored Polonia's increasingly uneasy expression, and proudly declared: "And such a her, after bearing the power of Hydral that can shatter mountains with a flick of its tail, the body that even the dragon race cannot tear apart, the self-healing that can recover even when burned by the Flamefeast fire... transformed into the 'head of strength' that controls the huge body of Hydral —" At this moment, Ansel's passion and joy were not half false. "Seraphina will become the greatest warrior in history, the strongest chariot that can crush everything for me." "I promise you, Miss Polonia." Hydral squinted his eyes and smiled, the illusion condensed by cunning malice, spat out a snake's tongue at this "professor". "Seraphina will have a beautiful future with me." "Ah... ah... that's... that's great." Polonia's eyes dodged, she bit her lip lightly: "I believe you, Lord Hydral." Ansel smiled: "So, is there anything else? I can take you to other cities for a tour." "..." The professor was silent for a moment, she seemed to have something to say just now, but she held back. "I want to ask you... do you know where Seraphina has gone?" she asked so tactfully. "Miss Polonia, do you want to see her? Now?" Ansel shook his head, "This is not a good choice, Seraphina needs to calm down, I am also willing to give her space and time, I don't want anyone to disturb her." "I... I'm sorry." Polonia sighed, "I miss her very much, really, I want to apologize to her properly, and I have a lot of things to say to her." "Don't worry, there's plenty of time." Ansel's smile was very sincere and warm, reassuring: "When Seraphina calms down, she will return to my side, and then, you will have the opportunity to see her." "After all, under my watch, who has the reason and ability to hurt her?"
