The next day, Silva and his mother headed out to the place of the medical mage. Though his mother was a healer, the medical mage in the town was the only one capable of casting appraisal.
The place of the medical mage was towards the center of the town, which meant Silva and his mother had to pass through crowded locations.
His mother was quite well known due to the fact that she healed people. It wasn't every time that they could afford the full treatment from the medical mage, and so Sarah would heal most things.
As they passed through the town, people constantly greeted her, but not before looking at the child beside her.
It was known that they had another son, and that he didn't look like the family, but now that they looked at him, they understood that it was not just that he didn't look like them, he was completely different.
If not for the trust they had in Leon and Sarah, they would have certainly said that she was lying about him being their son, or maybe she had cheated on Leon and gave birth to him.
Sarah and Silva were not oblivious to the looks they were getting, but they kept moving, and after a while, they finally arrived at the medical mage's shop.
There were already people there carrying out their check-ups and other things. Silva and his mother entered the shop as well and went to the waiting area.
They sat down and waited for someone to come and attend to them. Sarah could have just walked into his office and gotten it done, but she would feel bad about getting ahead of people.
For a time, she had worked with the mage, the two of them healing together, and they were basically partners. She stopped due to the fact that she had to take care of her ever-growing family.
One of the apprentices walked out of the office of the mage; she was a dainty girl, with two pigtails. She looked no more than fourteen.
When she saw Sarah, she ran up to her with an eager expression and admiration. You could tell that this girl looked up to Sarah.
"Lady Sarah, I'm so glad to see you here," she said.
"Same, Janeth. I wanted to get your boss to use appraisal on my son Silva," Sarah said.
Janeth looked at the son she was talking about; she blinked for a moment after she saw him.
"Hello, kid," she said, starting a conversation with Silva. She pronounced each word clearly so that Silva would understand.
"I may be five, but you don't need to overexert yourself for my understanding," Silva said.
The way he spoke shocked Janeth; she looked at him closely.
"Don't worry about him, Silva has always been different. He learned how to read before he was two, comprehending complex words.
Sometimes I wonder how his mind works; it's simply crazy," Sarah said with a smile.
"I see," Janeth said, still glancing at Silva. She didn't know how to react to what she was hearing, a child reading that early.
"Lady Sarah, why are you in the waiting room? You can easily walk in; you are an honorary member of this clinic. I don't think there is anyone who would object to you cutting," Janeth said.
"No, there is no need for that," Sarah tried to refuse, but Janeth grabbed her hand and started pulling her towards the office.
Silva followed behind, watching his mother get pulled against her will.
When they got into the office, the mage was just finishing a simple check-up on a woman. The woman was just leaving as they entered.
The mage was a middle-aged man, but he looked quite well-kept, his beard trimmed properly and his robes neat.
When he saw Sarah, he got up from his seat and rushed to her, holding her hands and greeting her.
"Lady Sarah, it's so good to see you here," he said.
Silva noticed something about the way the mage greeted his mother, and that was the fact that there was a very heavy longing in the eyes of this man.
He could tell that this man most definitely had some sort of feelings for his mother, but they were probably not reciprocated.
He could see a deep sadness hidden behind that smile, maybe it was due to his high intelligence or something, but he could see it.
"It is good to see you, Luke. Seems you are still well," Sarah responded.
Silva also noticed from his mom that she knew about the feelings of this Luke dude. He could tell.
"It's been a year; you barely come this way anymore, and the work has not allowed me to visit," Luke said.
"Well, it can't be avoided. The reason I came here today was to have you check the status of my son," Sarah said.
As they spoke, Silva remembered something: his stats were abnormal, even he knew that a child his age should not have this type of stats.
He had to hide them, or part of them somehow, but that would mean buying a skill, but the shop only opens after level ten.
This would be problematic, but there was really nothing he could do now. He just hoped that his legacy would be hidden, or that the appraisal of this man would not be high enough.
Yeah, it shouldn't, because it could not even tell what sort of legacy that Lia had, so he should be safe in that regard.
"Alright kid, come, and I'll check you," Luke said.
Silva walked to him, Luke placed his hand on Silva's head, and then a light came from his hand.
Luke froze after that, he shivered and drew his hand away from Silva.
"What happened, Luke?" Sarah asked.
"He- he is level seven, a-and his average stat is around forty," Luke said, shocking Sarah and Janeth.
"That's not all, he seems to have about two magical affinities or so, one is summoning magic, but I don't know the rest.
The last thing is that, he- he has a legacy!"
