Chapter 38 Exploded on the Spot!
"Put your hand on the crystal ball, close your eyes, relax your body, and let fate decide everything."
According to the instructions of the prophet, Avis stretched out his pale and slender right hand and gently pressed it on the crystal ball.
A smooth and cold touch came from the palm of his hand. Although his reason told him that the power of the wishing technique would most likely be arranged for him again.
But when the test really started, Avis was still a little worried.
"Relax."
The prophet immediately noticed Avis's nervousness. In fact, most people who took the test had similar reactions.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Avis, this is not terrible. If you have talent, then you will randomly see a small fragment of the future."
Avis nodded, took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, focused all his attention on perception, and gradually entered a state similar to meditation.
At first, Avis felt nothing except the hard touch of the crystal ball itself.
But as time passed, he was immersed in a trance and suddenly felt the existence of something!
It was a fog——
The moment Anvis felt the existence of this fog, the crystal ball in the study outside emitted a gray-white glow without warning, and the image of a fog appeared in the crystal ball.
Seeing the change in the crystal ball, the expressions of the two people present immediately changed. The prophet covered in a gray robe was slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The Duke was also slightly startled, but this surprise immediately turned into joy.
Because the test was not yet completed, Duke Carrot suppressed the joy in his heart and just stood aside and watched quietly. But the slightly raised corners of his mouth exposed his true emotions.
"There are changes..."
The prophet spoke slowly, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency the Duke!"
Hearing the prophet's congratulations, the Duke's mouth corners began to curl up. But when he was about to say something, suddenly——
"Crack——"
Suddenly, the light of the crystal ball flashed, and then burst instantly!
The Duke's eyes suddenly condensed, and countless flying fragments instantly solidified in the air. The space in the room seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button, and it was like a photo that was captured in an instant.
For a moment, the crystal fragments filled the air in the study, and under the refraction of the sunlight outside the window, they shone like stars in the night sky.
Anvis looked at this scene with some surprise. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw this fantastic and beautiful "starry sky" scene.
The power of the crystal ball explosion was not great, and it did not hurt him under the protection of magic, but it woke him up from the state of perception.
The next moment, under the effect of magic, countless "stars" that were stationary in the air retreated back to the original path at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast, and gathered into the original crystal ball again.
Anvis could even see that some of the fragments that had hit the bodies of the three people and were rebounded by magic flew back along the original route.
After hitting the same point for the second time, it flew in the direction it originally flew from.
After the combination was completed, the cracks covering the entire surface of the crystal ball began to gradually fade, close together, and shrink inward...
Finally, under Avis's astonished gaze, countless cracks gathered at a point in the center of the crystal ball, and then disappeared after a faint flash.
The secret method of the eighth-level transformation school-advanced restoration!
However, although the crystal ball has been restored to its original state, in Avis's perception, it has become an ordinary crystal ball.
The mysterious power contained in it has all been lost and has not been restored with the recovery of the crystal ball.
"What's going on, Irina?"
Duke Carrot frowned and looked at the face of the prophet hidden under the shadow of the hood, and his slightly low words echoed in the study.
"Just now, what did you see?"
But as the person being questioned, the gray-robed prophet did not immediately respond to the Duke's question, but turned to Avis and spoke a little hastily.
For the first time, there was an obvious emotional fluctuation in the ethereal and graceful tone.
Avis closed his eyes slightly, recalled the scene just now, and spoke softly with some hesitation.
"A piece of... starry sky?"
"Starry sky?"
Slightly startled, the prophet named Irina turned to Duke Carrot, and her gray robe swayed slightly.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke, this is the first time I've seen Avis in this state, so I was a little out of control just now--"
His index finger tapped the black dragon blood wood table, and Carrot looked at the prophet, a little confused.
"So, Irina, what does this phenomenon mean? Does Avis have a talent for prophecy?"
"In theory, being able to make the crystal ball appear strange means that the tester has the talent of a prophet, but the crystal ball automatically exploded during the test..."
The chief prophet's tone was a little hesitant, and she didn't know what this situation meant.
"I can't give a definite answer now, Your Excellency the Duke. I'm afraid I need to seek an answer from my teacher for this matter."
"Father, Your Excellency the Prophet, I have an idea."
At this time, Avis suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the two.
"If you are not sure whether I have the talent for prophecy, then can you open some magic books on prophecy to me? See if I can learn and use them normally."
"Open prophecy books?"
After thinking for a while, Duke Carrot looked at the prophet.
"Will there be any danger?"
The prophet Irina shook her head.
"In history, there has never been a precedent of danger in learning prophecy. At most, it is impossible to get started."
The Duke nodded and turned to Avis.
"In that case, give me your authority nameplate."
Avis took out a metal plate engraved with the pattern of the cold wind crystal bird from the ring, lifted it with magic, and placed it on the table in front of the Duke.
The Duke reached out and picked it up. The emblem ring on his finger flashed a trace of magic luster and gently printed it on the surface of the nameplate.
"Take it, I have opened up the reading rights of the prophecy school to you."
………
The next day, the chief prophet said goodbye to the Duke.
She was going to go on a long journey to the floating city of 'Oracian', the headquarters of the Magic Council in the distant Itel Kingdom Federation.
Seek answers from her teacher, [Stargazer] Brunz, one of the three chairmen of the Magic Council. See if you can get some residual information in the broken crystal ball.
After she left, Avis happily soaked in the large library, eagerly learning the newly unlocked magical knowledge of the prophecy school.
—— Before that, they had been placed alone in a corner of the library, and the entire bookshelf was protected by a powerful seal magic.
Even in his previous life, as a seventh-level magician, little Avis had not been able to access these books. Although Avis in this life was very envious, he had no idea where to start.
Now, he finally got the permission to pass this seal.
