Leon touched his head and realized what had felt amiss.
He pinched a strand of his hair and saw that it was much longer than the day before.
What was more exaggerated was that, except for the original brown at the tips, the rest had turned a deep black.
Bring me the mirror.”
“Okay!” The young maid scurried to fetch her master’s copper mirror from the drawer and handed it over.
Leon took a look and instantly understood why Lena had been startled earlier.
His features were the same.
But in that polished, shiny mirror, he could see atop his head not only a new crop of black hair but also eyes that had turned the same color as his black pupils in his previous life.
“Can it really change back?!” Leon touched his head, both shocked and pleased.
After all, he naturally preferred the black hair and eyes he had had for over twenty years.
Could it be due to the influence of the Magic Perception training?
He did remember Miss Lola mentioning that magic power could affect the hair and eye color traits of spellcasters.
But, he had yet to grasp how to manipulate magic power, and such an exaggerated change had already occurred?
Leon fiddled with the black hair on his head, reassured the puzzled Lena with a few words, and continued to get up and wash.
He suddenly looked forward to seeing the expressions of Kovis and Olivia, as well as the two companions who were now far away in Longka, when they saw him again.
He found the blond young man cleaning plate armor in the back-yard storage.
Leon draped his hair over his shoulder, tiptoed stealthily behind him, and asked in a high-pitched voice, “Ahem~ Mr.
Kovis~…may I ask, is Mr.
The young man turned around to Leon’s contrived voice behind him.
But he hesitated only for a moment before recognizing his lord: “Heh, don’t be silly, my lord.
But your overnight transformation is really drastic.”
His identity exposed in less than half a second, the young man’s cleverness left Leon a tad regretful; he had wanted to play a prank.
…After their conversation.
The blond youngman also agreed with Leon’s guess.
This sudden change in appearance was likely related to one’s magic manifestation.
The extent of the change was a bit beyond Kovis’s understanding, though.
According to Kovis himself, although he used to have blond hair, his eyes were not golden.
It was only later under the influence of magic power that his eye color turned to the gold they are now, and it was a long process.
Hearing this, Leon set aside his doubts for the moment.
Since it was essentially a normal occurrence, there was no need to worry.
He had also seen the beautiful silver hair and golden eyes of Miss Lora, and Lady Aphrodite’s peculiar pink hair and starry pupils.
He remembered seeing on a delicate sculpture that Lola had played with, a mage woman with similarly long, straight black hair and black eyes.
In comparison, his current manifestation of black hair and eyes seemed quite normal compared to Lola and Aphrodite’s unique appearances.
“Kovis, do you know how to cut hair?” Leon suddenly asked.
He had planned to wait until he got to Farolis City to find a barber, but with his hair this long, he couldn’t wait any longer.
“I remember Miss Elena learned how to take care of noble’s hair.
You could have her cut it nicely for you,” Kovis said, after thinking a moment, giving his recommendation.
The young man didn’t elaborate on where Miss Elena had learned her etiquette and maid skills.
Clearly, the experiences in the Felcon domain were not memories worth bringing up again.
Leon, upon hearing this, left the him and went back to the main house to find Elena who had just gotten out of bed and was free.
His appearance with black hair and black eyes naturally gave his friend’s sister quite a shock.
After a brief explanation, the kind-hearted lady readily agreed to Leon’s request.
She returned to the room to fetch scissors and a comb, and in nearly half an hour, Elena helped Leon to a tidy short haircut that barely reached the tips of his ears.
Leon looked at himself in the copper mirror.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion…
Although it was still the original owner’s face.
But…why did he seem a bit more handsome than before?
With a touch of vanity, he lifted his head slightly and decided to find Olivia.
Of course, it wasn’t to show off his new hairstyle and eye color.
Since there was no pain in his body today, there was no need to skip the daily sword practice.
The path of martial arts required constant accumulation; to not progress was to regress, leaving no room for laziness.
Even if Kovis still needed to recover his magic power and rest for a few days and couldn’t help with the deadly kind of dangerous training they had done yesterday.
Taking advantage of the current leisure time, he could at least have a normal exchange of Sword Skill with the young lady.
When Azeryan and Lokhak returned from Longka with their troops, and afterward Selva becomes busy, there was much to do.
