Chapter 17: Magic Eye

In the basement.

Father walked to a wall and touched his fingers on a few tiles in a random manner.

A secret door appeared in front of me.

“Let’s go, Will. This is the last secret of the Reinhardt family. Today, I will impart it to you.”

“Yes, Father.”

I followed my father into the secret door and down the stairs. It was a white operating room with dazzling lights.

“Will, lie down.”

“Yes.”

“The Reinhardt’s final secret requires a small operation. Will, are you afraid?”

“No, I trust Father.”

“Okay, close your eyes.”

I closed my eyes. The last scene I saw was that my father putting on the sterile gloves.

There was a slight pain behind my ears. There seemed to be blades that were cutting into my nerves.

After feeling my mind go blank, I completely passed out.

When I woke up again,

my father was already standing by the bed, smiling at me.

“The surgery was a success, Will. I’ll remove your stitches in five days. No strenuous exercise for the next few days.”

“Yes, Father.”

I got off the bed and followed my father out of the secret room.

Back in the living room.

My mother was tasting something with the head chef at home. When she saw me enter, her eyes lit up and she rushed over.

“Will, how did you make the wild boar soup last night? Can you make it again and teach the chef while you’re at it? It was too delicious!”

“No problem, Mother.”

“Young master Will, I really don’t know how you turned the fishy boar meat into such a delicacy. In my 30 years as a chef, I’ve never seen the nobles of the Kingdom of Freld eat pork. Your culinary skills really make me blush with shame. Please allow me to be so bold to ask you how to make this wild boar soup.”

The head chef walked up to me apologetically.

“No problem, head chef. Please follow me.”

I led the head chef into the kitchen and deftly dealt with the leftover pork from yesterday.

This was a skill that I had learned in my previous life. This was because many of my assassination targets didn’t live in the bustling city, but in villas in the mountains and forests.

It often took a perfect opportunity to assassinate them, so I frequently needed to spend many days in the forest. From then on, I had the habit of reading recipes in usual times. The ingredients I casually picked up became delicious after many trial-and-error processes.

“Head chef, you said that Freld’s nobles never eat pork. Would ordinary people eat this then?”

I asked casually.

It seemed that I had never eaten anything made by anyone other than the chefs at home.

The nobles’ habit of not eating pork made me curious.

“Of course, Young Master Will. The price of pork is much lower than that of beef and mutton. Pork is the main source of meat for the poor people. In the commoners’ taverns in the market, there are also cuisines made of pork. I’ve tried such cuisine before. Forgive me for being blunt, but they’re really difficult to swallow. When my Lady asked me to taste the soup just now, oh my god! I really couldn’t believe that it’s actually a delicacy made of pork.”

“I see. Thank you for clearing my doubts, head chef. Please hand me the white sugar.”

“Alright, Young Master Will, please don’t say that. I’m already very grateful that you’re willing to teach me how to cook pork. To be frank, even if I’m no longer able to serve the Reinhardt Family in the future, with this skill in hand, I can still take in disciples when I return to my hometown.”

“Head chef, please don’t say such things. I’ll have to leave home one day. Father and Mother are already used to the food you cook. You have to pick a time to nurture a reliable disciple so that you can spend your later years in Reinhardt in peace.”

“Haha, thank you, Young Master Will…”

After I personally demonstrated twice, the head chef finally tried to make a rare oriental delicacy from my previous life.

It was a dish called Red Braised Pork.

Even though he had yet to achieve the essence of the meat being fatty but not greasy, it was already edible. He should be able to meet the requirements after practicing a few more times.

Five days later.

My father and I went to the operating theater in the secret passage again. My father removed the sutured yarn behind my ear.

“Will, look at this. Make sure you concentrate.”

Father casually threw the surgical forceps in his hand into the air.

I followed my father’s instructions and focused on the surgical forceps.

Suddenly,

the free fall trajectory of the surgical forceps in front of me began to show silhouettes. Time seemed to slow down in an instant. I could see every instance the surgical forceps rolled over clearly.

No wonder I couldn’t stab my father at such a close distance. In his eyes, my speed was probably about the same as a turtle’s. He could dodge at any time.

“Father, this…”

“That’s right. I believe you’ve already seen it. This is the greatest secret passed down from generation to generation in the Reinhardt family. The family calls it the Magic Eye. As long as we focus, the flow of time in front of us will become very slow, including the trajectory of Mage’s magic.”

“I see!”

“However, Will, in front of people with different strengths, the duration of the Magic Eye will also differ. The stronger they are, the shorter the duration. You have to be especially careful when using it. Come, I’ll demonstrate it to you once. Watch my movements.”

Father held out his hand. A small fireball began to condense in his hand, bouncing.

I activated my Magic Eye to observe the trajectory of the fireball. As expected, the slow speed of the scalpel only lasted for the blink of an eye before it began to grow faster and faster.

“Will, how long did the Magic Eye last?”

“About two seconds.”

“Two seconds? Given your current strength, it’s not bad. Continue to work hard!”

“Yes, Father!”

I nodded hard.

This was the trump card of the Reinhardt family, an inherent skill comparable to a golden talent!

As long as you’re slow enough in my eyes, I can strike first before you attack.

As for the inadequacy that my father mentioned, I could completely accept it. After all, if everyone was equal in front of the Magic Eye, this skill would be too abnormal.

“Well, Will, after the greatest secret of the Reinhardt Family, there’s nothing more I can teach you. From now on, you’ll have to work hard on your own. What are your plans?”

“Father, I want to test my magic again.”

I had to make up my mind to face this thing that was bothering me.

Whether or not I could awaken my magic, I ought to choose a path to continue on.

“Yes, that’s a good idea. You’re almost nine years old. It’s the golden age to test your magic attributes.”

My father nodded in agreement and looked at me. “Shall we ask Great Archmage Anna for help when she brings Jennifer back?”

“Father, can I get another teacher to test me?”

I looked up and asked.
