"A... a mage?!"
Daniel was stunned. This news was far too shocking for him. How did his daughter go from being sick to suddenly being a mage?
Durin nodded and said earnestly, "That's right. Based on my understanding, she is currently in the midst of awakening her power. Of course, since she can't even control her own abilities yet, I prefer to call her a Mage Apprentice."
"Uh, wait…"
It was a long while before Daniel recovered from the information. "I have a question. How did you determine that my daughter is a Mage?"
"From our conversation just now, it's evident that your daughter's thinking and descriptive abilities are exceptionally active. You've also taken her to many doctors, and they've all confirmed there's nothing wrong," Durin said unhurriedly, taking a sip of the ice water on the table. "There are many examples in the world of symptoms like hers. Far away in Demacia, there's a female Mage with a similar talent named Sona."
"Furthermore, Miss Seraphine's current phenomenon should have been ongoing for some time. The magic in her body is very active, constantly absorbing elemental particles from the air. She must have mentioned to you or your wife that she can perceive many secret, private 'songs'."
Durin put down the water glass and continued, "But you didn't pay attention at the time."
At this moment, he was feigning expertise, spouting a lot of professional terms, dissecting Seraphine's background information, and revealing it bit by bit to Daniel.
Daniel's eyes widened, clearly surprised by how much Durin had hit the mark.
Then he fell silent for a moment, lowering his head and speaking in a hoarse voice: "…Yes, my factory was busy with a large order at the time, and the audio equipment technology needed to be upgraded, so I rarely went home."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something.
"Exactly," Durin continued to explain. "Miss Seraphine awakened her talent at that time. Her mental power is unprecedentedly strong. She is a naturally gifted, exceptionally talented Mage who can awaken magic without training."
This made Durin think of the fortunate individuals in Runeterra who could naturally awaken magic without training and instantly become Mages—each one a prodigy with infinite potential.
For example, far to the east in Ionia, there was a genius female Mage who controlled Black Magic. Her talent was so extraordinary that she was directly suppressed by the local equivalent of a Gaia consciousness.
Closer to home, there's a genius girl in Noxus who controls metal, sweeping through battlefields.
Seraphine is such an example. Although she can't yet control her talent, and her combat power is negligible, she is actually already a legitimate Mage with surging magic within her, capable of wielding magic and studying runes.
Her singing passively carries a bewitching magical quality—this bewitching singing can directly affect listeners' emotions and touch their souls, even influencing those with weak wills.
And for those suffering, sun-deprived Zaunites, Seraphine's singing is no different from… Glimmer Potion!
In small doses, long-term use of Glimmer Potion can enhance one's physique, but it also brings a spiritual pleasure, making people deeply immersed and unforgettable.
Seraphine's singing is enough to weave a false musical world that people can immerse themselves in, creating a distorted mental pleasure. It makes people forget reality, stop thinking, and self-numb.
As if by simply immersing oneself in the world of music, all the troubles and pains of life would vanish into thin air.
If Seraphine doesn't become an idol, then she will be the biggest anesthetic dealer in the Two Cities in the future, bar none!
"Then what should I do next?" Daniel asked somewhat eagerly.
"You have two choices. The first is to find a powerful Rune Mage to guide Seraphine on how to master her own magic. This process will be very long, taking anywhere from a few months to possibly several years," Durin offered feasible future plans. "The second is that you need to acquire a Hextech. This original stone originates from the Shellfolk, a race living deep in the Shurima Desert, and is currently scarce, making it priceless."
"Once you have the Hextech, you need to build a device that suppresses magical hearing. This device can help Miss Seraphine control her own magic, and all problems will be solved," Durin said calmly.
Daniel nodded, pondered for a moment, then pulled out a brass key from his pocket and handed it to Durin: "I understand. I need to consider it and discuss this with my wife. But thank you, Mage Durin. This key opens the first room on the left after entering the house at 43 Vocal Avenue in the Harbor District. If you rent for a year, I'll give you a 50% discount on the rent, just one gold cogwheel and nine silver lun coins."
"No," Durin shook his head and replied, "I'll rent monthly, as I'm not sure how long I'll stay."
Daniel thought for a moment and said cheerfully, "For monthly rent, to bring good luck, I'll give you a 50% discount. It will only be three silver lun coins."
"Good!"
Durin agreed, taking three silver lun coins from the inner pocket of his Mage robe.
Currently, his total assets were: 10 gold cogwheels, 2 silver lun coins, and 27 copper circle coins.
