Sword God in a World of Magic

Lucin also looked at Shang after Queen Primordium asked that question.

Then, Shang felt a smooth finger touch the side of his head.

Shang did his absolute best not to act suspicious, and he didn't resist.

He trusted in the Lightning Manor's philosophy that the mind of every individual was a sacred place that wasn't allowed to be looked into or manipulated.

As long as she didn't read his mind, everything should be fine.

Lucius, the Mage Emperor, had told Shang that his Spell, Humanity, couldn't even be seen by an Emperor.

After some seconds, the finger retreated from Shang's head.
