Joyce felt somewhat sentimental, a rare occurrence.
Ever since he broke through to become a Legendary Mage, few things could disturb his composure.
Lis suddenly wanted to comfort Uncle Joyce but was at a loss as to where to start.
He couldn't simply say that it wasn't Joyce's fault, could he? Saying that just seemed odd.
Fortunately, the sadness of the mighty Joyce was fleeting, and he could now face it all with equanimity.
Especially after discovering just how outstanding Lis was, he seemed to have transferred all his feelings for Brandon onto Lis.
"Afterward, I stayed with the Kane family to take care of you as you grew up. I truly did not expect your Talent to be so exceptional, Lis."
"Perhaps it's through the accumulation of Knowledge over time that your Talent has been developed."
Faced with Joyce's remarks, Lis could only smile awkwardly, taking it as an acknowledgment. He didn't expect Joyce to rationalize it for him like this.
Truly, he used to be a complete novice!
