The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 104 Right hand is lightning, left hand is fire

"Claire, do you know what you're talking about?" Malina glanced at her, her eyes filled with murderous intent and intimidation.

Claire just bowed her head and said nothing more.

"Huh!" Malina snorted in disdain: "Even a blind person can see that the Fifth Elder doesn't like Alec much."

Malina now gently bit the nail of her thumb, her face showing a pensive look, while muttering: "Hm... Lathel is different, but he doesn't seem to like me..."

"It's strange... Everyone likes me, everyone likes my pitiful appearance. Why doesn't he like me?

"Besides… the Fifth Elder completely favors Lathel, there must be some secret about this."

Claire nodded and said: "Master, can I express my guess?"

"Hmm?!" Malina raised her eyebrows: "Say it!"

"Yes…" Claire said respectfully: "Master, I can think of two cases. In the first case, perhaps Lathel comes from some powerful hidden family and is only going out now to gain more life experience."

"In the second case, perhaps he has some terrible talent that we cannot recognize, only the Fifth Elder can recognize it."

"It is only for these two reasons that the Fifth Elder will accept Lathel as her student."

"No matter what the case is, Lathel's identity is not simple. Besides, if he is a F-Rank magician, how could a Duchess adopt him?"

Hearing that, Malina frowned. She gritted her teeth and said: "Lathel... it seems I have to approach him."

"Master, you should be careful." Claire suddenly said.

"Why?"

"Because… Lathel looked at you with wariness and contempt."

"Of course I know that. Perhaps he knows my identity as the daughter of a prostitute, so he also looks down on me."

Claire shook her head: "Master, I have investigated Alec and Lathel very carefully. Lathel has only been here for a few days, the odds of him knowing your identity are extremely low."

"His eyes… seem to lean more towards vigilance. But he only despises you when you…"

"You mean he only looked down on me when I pretended to fall, right?" Malina glanced at Claire.

Claire didn't speak, she just bowed her head in silence.

Malina frowned: "You're right, I feel like there's something strange about him. I proactively approached Alec, and I know the relationship between Alec and Lathel is like water and fire."

"Besides…" Malina was about to talk about what happened at noon today. She pretended to fall because she wanted to teach him a lesson.

But she didn't think the price she would pay would be high. It was so expensive that she lost her chance to reach Lathel.

"Maybe… I should try again."

Hearing Malina's words, Claire raised her head and replied: "Master, you should be careful."

Malina smiled and replied: "I know, don't worry. After all, Lathel is also a man, and I don't believe he will continue to hate me."

"Hahahaha… men… they are stupid, greedy, and… deadly creatures."

"If I can control Lathel as well, then… this Montague family will quickly become something in my pocket as well."

…

Back to Ryne's castle.

At this time, their warm party had ended. Lathel followed the maid's instructions to a rather large room.

Of course, Charlotte always followed him and never left his side.

This room had a lot of functions, and it was very spacious. In particular, the bed in the middle of the room was also very large, as five people could sleep on it and there would still be plenty of space left.

The room also had a very large window, and under the window was a small pedestal where you could lie down or read a book while sitting.

On top of that pedestal were some pillows and blankets that looked extremely warm.

There weren't many things in the room, but everything in the room was very expensive.

Lathel brought Charlotte into the room, then laid on the bed. He felt a bit happy today.

Although there were still many problems he couldn't solve, he was able to solve the most important problem, the Anaconda Flame. No, maybe it would be more appropriate to call her Anna now.

Now he possesses another element, fire.

Lathel lay on the bed and opened his personal information panel to see.

…

Name: Lathel

Energy points: 4,000

Talent: Earth (D), Thunder (D), Wood (E), Healing (B), Fire (C)

…

Lathel looked at his personal information and felt a bit strange. The strange thing was not from his personal information but from his promotion.

It seems that from the time he leveled up until now, he did not use the normal method but instead went through a rather special path.

The first time he leveled up from level 0 to level 10 was thanks to him turning into a Half-Vampire. Of course, his energy lake also absorbed part of the blood bat he saw.

The second time, he leveled up from level 10 to level 20 was thanks to Alec's pills. That pill helped his body become stronger, and it even helped him possess Anna.

Lathel rubbed his chin. He thought that in the future he probably wouldn't have any chance to level up so easily again.

He sighed and shook his head as he temporarily put aside the matter of promotion. Currently, he is doing two things...

Firstly, he was becoming stronger to be able to survive in this world.

And… he was searching for the power source for the Cauldron.

Charlotte crawled into his arms, then slowly fell asleep. He frowned and asked: "Charlotte, aren't you sucking blood today?"

Charlotte raised her head, her eyes were dreamy, her face was as lovely as a masterpiece of the gods, and she said softly: "Not hungry..."

Then she bowed her head, curled up next to him, and fell asleep. Seeing that, Lathel also sighed and smiled with peace of mind.

He frowned and asked Cauldron in his heart: "Oy! Do you have to absorb the soul of a magician?"

"That's right." Cauldron replied, however, his voice was much weaker: "It must be the soul of a magician who just died. We cannot use the cemetery because most of the souls in it have been purified, and their energy is almost gone."

Lathel frowned: "So… what about the execution platform? This kingdom certainly has a place to execute death row prisoners, right?"

"That's a good idea." Cauldron sighed and said: "However, such places are certainly guarded extremely strictly to prevent the robbery of prisoners."

"Besides… there will definitely be people to ensure security. If you appear there without any reason, people will probably take you away."

Hearing that, Lathel also sighed and said: "It seems... there is no other way but for me to find magicians who just died, or... kill a few people, right?"

Cauldron listened to Lathel's words and felt a bit depressed and worried. He also knew that this was quite difficult for Lathel.

"Or… there is another way, but this way is much more difficult."

"Hm?! What way?" Hearing that, Lathel immediately became more excited.

Cauldron sighed and said, "That is… killing monsters and taking the energy crystals inside them."

"Energy crystal?" Lathel asked confusedly.

"That's right," Cauldron explained. Low-level monsters like goblins definitely won't have that, but high-level monsters will have energy crystals inside their hearts."

"And there is a type of monster that has the best energy crystals, if I have that type of energy crystal, I don't need to absorb the souls of magicians."

"It's the Monster from the Deep Abyss."

Hearing that, Lathel felt happier: "Uhm! That's better than killing people or absorbing the souls of magicians."

"In the Karol capital, as long as I have money, I don't believe I can't buy monster energy crystals for you."

"Uhm! I hope you can easily buy them." "I only have enough energy for a few more days," Cauldron said. From now on, I will enter a state of hibernation."

"If you have energy crystals, you just need to put them inside me. At that time, I will automatically absorb them."

"I know, you should rest first." Lathel was much more comfortable now.

Just as Lathel had just said, he believed that as long as he had enough gold coins, he could buy the monster's energy crystal.

Lathel closed his eyes, but he did not sleep. Instead, he entered the 'Simulation Space'. After all, it was the only place that could help him practice and improve faster than practicing in the real world.

As soon as he entered the 'simulation space', he immediately increased the gravity by 15%, then used lightning elemental energy and fire elemental energy to cover his body.

"Pff!" At this moment, Lathel spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and lost consciousness. No, to be more precise, he died.

Two seconds later, he immediately woke up. At this moment, he realized something...

'It seems... using two types of elements at the same time is impossible. It's like writing two different words with both hands at the same time.'

'Moreover, if there's a small mistake, the energy inside my body will be chaotic, and it will lead to an explosion.'

Lathel did not rush to experiment but sat on the ground and began to think of a solution. He believed that he could control two elements at the same time, but he just hadn't found a way yet.

Luckily for him, in this space, he can try as many times as he wants, and it's fine. Even if he died here, it wouldn't have any effect on the real world.

Lathel frowned. He first used lightning elemental energy to cover his body, then narrowed the scope of all that energy.

Gradually, the thunder element's energy concentrated in his left hand. Next, he continued to channel the Fire elemental energy.

This time, he succeeded.

"Pff!"

Lathel died again. A few seconds later, he came back to life. Even though he had just died, he was extremely happy because he had succeeded a little.

He was able to direct the fire elemental energy out and concentrate it in a certain place. However, he needed more practice to be able to fully control the two types of elements at the same time.

Lathel was not discouraged; he continued to experiment. He was continuously dying, but through those deaths, he also gained more things.

24 hours passed, and he had died more than 100 times, but at this time, he could basically use two types of elements at the same time.

His right hand held lightning, while his left hand held fire.
