The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1444: Meeting Lista

While the two ladies would love to feign innocence and pretend they didn’t understand what Rania was hinting at, they actually knew, which shocked them.

Even if they thought about what she had just said, the fact that Rania didn’t shy away from suggesting they also offer their blood to Klaus is just ridiculous. However, as they digested her words, the logic behind it all started to take root.

It may be shameless of her to suggest that a God and a Supreme should offer their blood to Klaus. However, despite her words being shameless, the fact is that giving him their blood to drink will come in handy for the Paragon.

It will make him grow stronger much faster.

Rania giggled. "Don’t tell me you haven’t considered this. I know how you two are, and every last one of my aunties and grandmothers likes to talk about him.

One of the reasons I was eager to take up your offer and go to Earth a few years back was how you would never stop talking about him. I honestly doubted he was that awesome until I met him.

He is indeed awesome, and learning more about him isn’t something I’d turn down. Also, as people who had lived their entire lives walking a predetermined path of protecting the world of a Paragon, you deserve some fun time."

It is very rare for a Supreme and a God to pay attention to a mere immortal who has lived for less than a thousand years.

It is unheard of.

The fact that Rania was able to keep both her mother and grandmother quiet and paying close attention to her told her all she needed to know.

Her words were having an effect on them—Queen Leah especially, considering she is the current queen, and her era was when the Paragon returned home.

"Another question, how did you manage to get close to him? He is the Paragon, someone who stands above the heavens. While I may be a Supreme, I pale in comparison to him. His standing in this universe is not something meagre people like us can compare to.

So how did you manage to break past that barrier and get close to him?"

Rania laughed, a bit stunned that her grandmother saw herself this way. In her eyes, she is many times bigger and better than Klaus.

"Grandma, you are overthinking everything. Klaus is a very simple person. He values honesty, and well, he is very intelligent—so intelligent that I am confident none of you can compare. But aside from that, you are several times better.

However, being the elegant supreme you are won’t get you anywhere. So instead of approaching him half-heartedly, go to him with your real self.

Do not make it seem like you are trying to get close to him without actually believing in him. If you want to know him, just go talk to him like a normal person.

Back on Earth, his life was so simple. He had normal friends, and he played with children as if he were one of them. I even learned he used to have a pet snake that he bathed, slept with, and played with.

So, such a person, while he may be mentally millions of years old, compared to the current him, he is but a few years old. Be normal like him, and trust me, becoming friends with him would be very simple."

"Also, don’t call him Lord Paragon. He prefers Klaus, or if you will, Magnus."

Surprisingly, the two ladies nodded to Rania’s words. They then asked her a couple more questions, taking up several hours of her time.

Meanwhile, during her cross-examination, Klaus grew bored in the pool, so he left and started wandering.

He had some places he wanted to visit, but because much had changed, most of them were swallowed by the passage of time. So he was merely moving from one place to the next, hoping to find something from the past.

Unfortunately, while some things were preserved, not everything was fortunate. Considering the current royal family wasn’t involved in his life when he was Magnus, they didn’t know the petty places he loved to frequent, so they swallowed all those places in the thousands of renovations they did.

However, there was one place many from his past life knew he loved to go.

In the past, he loved to go to a certain mountain a couple of kilometers from his house. He knew at least that one should be preserved. So as he made his way toward the mountain, fingers crossed, he hoped deep down it would still be there.

Thankfully, when he got there, it was still standing, even more beautiful than before. It had been preserved and cared for for years, ensuring it stood out better than ever.

However, he wasn’t the only person there. He went to meet someone there.

"Fancy seeing you here, Lista."

Indeed, Queen Leah’s eldest daughter, Lista, was meditating there when Klaus arrived. It is her favourite spot because, as someone who loves peace and quiet, coming to the one place nobody dares to come casually is the best place to relax and unwind

Unfortunately, her quiet time was interrupted by Klaus’s arrival.

"L-Lord Paragon," she stammered, stunned that Klaus was there.

"You can just call me Klaus."

She nodded, though there was a certain shock in her eyes. She doesn’t like being around people, so this interruption was a bit uncomfortable. However, the person involved is Klaus, someone she had dreamt of meeting.

"You know, back in the day, I used to frequent this place." Klaus walked to the edge of the mountain, where he had a view of the vast city. It was one of the things Magnus used to love. The world hated him, but the city was ever beautiful, every single night.

"There is just something about this place that makes me feel at peace," Klaus added, and as someone who had come here for thousands of years already, Lista nodded to his words.

Klaus sighed and turned toward her. Noticing his gaze, she averted hers.

This made him smile. "You are a shy one, huh?"

Naturally, muttering out loud how someone is shy is just being shameless. Making a shy person feel even more shy shouldn’t be something one should do unless, of course, they have a thick face.

Klaus has that kind of thick face, so he didn’t mind making her life a bit more miserable.

"Don’t mind me. Being shy is magic."

Klaus walked and sat beside her. Then he reached for and picked up a book titled "The Psychology of Attaining Infinite Mind," by an unknown author.

"Tsk, what kind of psycho will write a book with such an exaggerated title?"

Lista turned and looked at him with a raised brow. "It was written by the 8th Paragon."

Klaus also turned and looked at Lista for a few seconds before a smile appeared on his face. "Now that you mentioned it, I am sure the author was brilliant beyond measure."

For a shy person, Lista couldn’t help smiling at Klaus’s shamelessness. She loves to read, and as a family obsessed with the Paragon, most of what she read was things related to Klaus in one way or another.

The 8th Paragon, Kaden, was a writer. Aside from waging war against the Heavens Court and ending up stealing from them, he was a writer obsessed with explaining the unknown.

He had published many books. However, since Klaus’s memories of that life depended on how fast Pickle Berry grows, he had yet to remember that part of his life...

"Tell me more about this book," Klaus requested, and Lista panicked.
