Chapter 330: Shameless Bastard

The first concept design that appeared in Mag’s mind was a golden purple-striped griffin. Furthermore, it was extremely familiar: it was the very same one as Mag Alex’s steed back when he reigned supreme over the Norland Continent.

There were three vertical purple stripes on the griffin’s golden lion head, making it appear extremely intimidating. There were also a few purple stripes on its powerful wings, perfectly complementing the golden hue and giving it a more regal air.

According to Mag Alex’s memories, he had encountered the griffin back when he was only five. Back then, it was only a tiny little thing, and even after the two of them separated for several years, the purple-striped griffin was still able to recognize him. He was 15 years old during their second encounter, and the griffin was willing to become his steed.

It was the final purple-striped griffin on the continent, and it was a super powerful 9th-tier magic beast. In the countless battles of Mag Alex that had been recorded in the history books, the purple-striped griffin was a constant feature.

He sighed internally with emotion at the sight of that kite. After inheriting Mag Alex’s memories, he had also inherited some of his emotions, and he recalled that the purple-striped griffin had been severely wounded during the battle three years ago. He wondered if it had managed to escape from those two 9th-tier magic casters.

“I’ll go with the third one: the purple phoenix.” Mag’s eyes lingered on the purple-striped griffin for a long time. His impulses told him to choose it, but his logic won the battle in the end, and he chose the beautiful purple phoenix.

The purple-striped griffin was far too sensitive a symbol. It would definitely attract attention from many people, and even though his appearance had already been altered significantly, it would still be very dangerous if someone were to draw a connection between him and Mag Alex as Amy was a fatal chink in his armor.

Of course, Mag also picked the purple phoenix as he felt that Amy would like it the best. It had a long and colorful three-pronged tail, so it would look very beautiful in flight.

“Ding! 598 copper coins have been successfully deducted, now crafting the kite. Delivery can take place in five minutes. Please specify the location and time for delivery!” The system’s voice sounded.

“Just deliver it in five minutes onto the counter downstairs. I’ll have a look at it when I get up tomorrow.” Mag changed into some loose-fitting clothes from his wardrobe, and set off to do his hourly pre-bedtime sword training. During the past few days, his swordsmanship had gradually improved.

He had also been experimenting during cooking, and that had allowed him to chop up ingredients more quickly as well as helped devise a style of swordsmanship that was unique to himself.

Of course, that was simply built on making very minor adjustments to the Thirteen Swordplay Forms. The good thing was that he was able to constantly drill those motions during his cooking, and integrating all that would help him when performing other sword techniques as well.

In any case, all he was doing at the moment was to recover and grow accustomed to his body.

“Father, let’s go fly our kite!”

Mag was roused the following morning, and he was immediately greeted by Amy’s beaming face when he opened his bleary eyes. His displeasure with being woken up abruptly disappeared at the sight of her adorable face, and he smoothed down her hair with a smile as he replied, “Sure, I’ll cook some breakfast, and then we can go fly our kite.”

“Yay!” Amy rubbed her head against Mag’s palm, and nodded obediently. She then looked at Mag with a curious expression, and asked, “But Father, where is our kite? Did you really make a super beautiful kite for me?”

“Of course, I’ve already put it downstairs. You’ll see it when you go down there.” Mag nodded, and sat up on his bed. He looked at his alarm clock, only to find that it was almost 8am. It had been a rare sleep-in for him.

“Then let’s go downstairs!” Amy was overjoyed as she tried to tug Mag out of bed.

“Don’t be in such a hurry. Let’s get you looking nice and pretty first.” Mag smiled as he got out of bed. He dressed her in a pure yet refreshing purple dress with a floral pattern, and braided a pair of intricate little ponytails for her. He then tied up the braids with a pair of purple floral hair ties, and a gorgeous little girl appeared before him.

“I’m going to see the kite Father made for me now.” Amy hurried downstairs with Ugly Duckling in her arms, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She should like it, right? Mag also slowly descended on the staircase, and a hint of nervousness welled up in his heart.

After going downstairs, Amy fell completely silent. Mag thought that she was displeased with the kite, and he immediately quickened his footsteps. It would only take the system five minutes to make another one anyway, so if Amy didn’t like it, he could just get another.

However, after arriving downstairs, he was greeted by the sight of Amy staring up at the purple phoenix kite with Ugly Duckling in her arms. Her mouth was open, and her bright blue eyes were wide with astonishment as if she were looking at something incredible.

Mag strode over to her, and patted her on the head before asking, “Do you like it?”

“Yes, I love it!” Amy nodded vehemently. She looked up at Mag with elation, and said, “Father is so awesome! This kite is more beautiful than any other kite I’ve ever seen. The other kids will be very envious of me.”

“Of course, your father can do everything.” Mag nodded with a content smile at the sight of Amy’s beaming little face.

“Shameless bastard…” A string of words hovered in Mag’s mind, but he ignored it.

“But what is this bird? It’s so beautiful. It’s got purple feathers and a long rainbow tail.” Amy was very curious as she caressed its long tail. Ugly Duckling also emulated her by extending a curious paw toward the kite.

“This is a phoenix. It’s a mythological beast that most likely doesn’t exist in this world,” Mag explained with a smile. According to his memories, there were similar magic beasts in this world, but none were exactly like the phoenix.

“A phoenix? A purple phoenix; it’s so beautiful. If only I could keep one as a pet. That way, I would be able to fly in the sky on its back.” Amy’s eyes were glittering as she envisioned riding a phoenix steed.

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling looked up at Amy with an urgent expression, and waved its little paws in the air as if to emulate flight, reminding Amy of its existence.

“Ugly Duckling, you’re too scared to even get onto the counter; you wouldn’t dare to fly in the sky. Besides, you don’t have any wings, so there’s no way that you can take flight.” Amy took a glance at Ugly Duckling, and shook her head with a hint of disdain.

Ugly Duckling looked at the counter, and then down at the ground before burying its head into Amy’s chest cowardly. It was too high up, so it was feeling a little scared.
