This question made Ron stop in his tracks.
He turned to look at Eve, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
The girl bit her lower lip:
"Mother... her protection of borders on paranoia, any attempt that might bring risk she sternly refuses."
A certain fervent light burned in Eve’s eyes:
"But if this really is my chance to break free from the curse... I’m willing to take any risk."
This near self-destructive determination made Ron feel worried.
"We shouldn’t attempt sothing so significant behind your mother’s back."
He shook his head firmly:
"Moreover, Great Wizard Cassandra understands your physical condition the best, her opinion is crucial to the success rate."
Eve was silent for a long ti, clearly undergoing an intense internal struggle.
Eventually, she seed to reach so compromise:
"Then... I can contact Mother and discuss this possibility with her. But Master..."
Her gaze turned pleading:
"Please, you must help convince her. No one understands my pain better than you, and no one can give more hope than you."
Ron nodded in agreent: "I will do my best."
But deep down, he had another goal.
This contact with Cassandra was also a chance to handle Chester’s matters.
Initiating contact with Cassandra to speak for an academic colleague might reduce her opinion of him.
Now, using Eve as an interdiary, he could address this indirectly.
According to Uther, Cassandra was almost indulgent towards her only daughter, and any contact by Eve would gain imdiate response.
As for him as a Master... last ti in the face of life and death with Chai Ye, even pulling a projection for combat attracted a complaint or two...
"There’s one more thing..." Ron seed to have thought of sothing:
"Since you will contact your mother, I would like to ask her to help with a small matter.
An academic colleague has faced so difficulties, hoping to earn her forgiveness."
Eve nodded. Although she wasn’t very interested in such political struggles, since it was Ron’s request, she was naturally willing to help.
"Of course, Master. If it’s your request, I will also communicate it to Mother."
Her tone had a sense of ingratiation, as if helping Ron with personal matters would further solidify the relationship between the two.
"Then... I’ll contact her now."
There was clear reluctance in Eve’s voice.
But to gain the possibility of treatnt, she still moved toward the magic crystal communication array in the corner of the room.
It was a mirror made of star crystal, capable of real-ti communication across space.
When Eve gently placed her hand on the mirror surface, the entire device imdiately emitted a soft purple light.
"Mother, it’s Eve. There’s sothing important I want to discuss with you."
Her voice beca ethereal and clear through the conduction of magic power.
Two seconds later, the mirror surface began to ripple, like undulating water.
Then, Cassandra’s visage gradually appeared in the mirror.
Even across an infinite spatial distance, those purple eyes still exuded an overwhelming aura of authority.
"Dear?"
Cassandra’s voice carried evident concern, along with a hint of surprise:
"You’re contacting so late; has sothing happened? Your health..."
Hearing her mother’s concerned inquiry, Eve’s expression turned complex.
On one hand, she could feel her mother’s sincere care for her;
on the other hand, she had to admit that this overprotection sotis made her feel suffocated.
"No, Mother, quite the opposite."
Eve took a deep breath:
"My condition is better than ever."
Seeing the rosy complexion on her daughter’s face, Cassandra’s expression showed clear amazent.
As the creator of the girl before her, she was too familiar with her typical condition.
This healthy glow was sothing she hadn’t seen in fourteen years.
"You do look... a lot better."
Cassandra’s tone beca more focused: "Tell , what happened?"
"Of course, it’s all thanks to Master Ron, Mother."
Eve’s voice began to tremble, an emotional blend of excitent and gratitude:
"The favor he granted continues to alleviate the symptoms of Demon Devouring. Now, I can live normally even in low magic power environnts."
Hearing this news, Cassandra’s expression changed drastically.
"Favor... the pure favor of a Primordial Wizard..."
She repeated quietly, "I should have realized earlier! Why didn’t I..."
Cassandra abruptly stopped her musing and refocused on her daughter:
"What are the specific effects? Can you now mobilize magic power?"
"I still can’t perform normal ditation cultivation."
Eve answered truthfully, but her voice was still full of hope:
"But the pain has reduced by at least seventy percent, and this improvent seems to be sustainable."
"Sustainable..."
Cassandra repeated the word as if reflecting on its deeper aning:
"This implies that the favor is fundantally enhancing your constitution, not rely alleviating symptoms."
At that mont, Eve proposed her bold notion:
"Mother, I wish to discuss a possibility with you. Master Ron is soon to break through to the Moon Level, this significant advancent will generate a strong energy feedback."
She took a deep breath, mustering the courage to voice her greatest desire:
"If I could harness this imnse energy feedback, maybe... just maybe, I could directly break through to the Morning Star Level and beco an official wizard."
