Chapter 41 The Changes of the Beast

"...It was a very deep cave. Of course, it might not be that deep, but Fiona was descending too slowly."

"So, she had enough time to look around and guess what was underneath,"

"She looked down first, but she couldn't see anything, so she looked around the cave wall. Under the light of illumination, she was surprised to see..."

"Then, what did she see?"

Curiosity finally prevailed, and Fiona asked in a low voice.

"Then...Today's story is over, dear Fiona, it's time to continue studying epigraphy."

Anweiss showed a mysterious smile and winked at Fiona. Then he stopped telling the story, stood up and returned to the desk, and the phantom in the air disappeared quietly.

"Woo-I refuse!"

The story suddenly broke when it heard the key part, which made Fiona feel as uncomfortable as if she was halfway through a breath and then suddenly got stuck, and her little face instantly swelled like a bun.

But when she was still sulking, a heavy book suddenly flew in front of her.

The girl instinctively reached out to catch it, but the moment she caught it, she suddenly felt a weight in her hand again, and the second and third books were stacked on top.

On the side, Avis controlled the wizard's hand and pulled out "Elementary Inscription Drawing" and "The Meaning of Inscription Array" from the bookshelf, and threw them all into the girl's hands.

? ? ?

The girl looked at the several books stacked together in her hand, which were almost as high as her head, with a dull look, and her mentality almost exploded.

"It's your freedom to read it or not, dear Fei. However, it's also my freedom to continue this story tomorrow."

In response to Fiona's resentment that almost broke through the dome of the library, Avis turned the pages of the book and responded with an elegant smile.

"After all, I can't let my lovely sister be punished by my father again because of me--"

In the eyes of the girl, this smile is no different from the smile of the devil.

"Brother... Can you tell me another story... Just a short one, and then I'll go read the book obediently..."

Fiona showed a pitiful expression, her big eyes were full of water, and she looked at the pale boy sitting at the desk pleadingly, like a small animal that was ruthlessly abandoned.

But in the eyes of Avis, who was familiar with all kinds of acting skills and routines, the girl's performance was full of loopholes.

"It's useless to pretend to be pitiful, my dear sister."

Avis read the book in his hand and answered without looking away.

"And please don't just deal with it when reading, because I will ask a few random questions later. If you can't answer them, there will be no story tomorrow..."

As Avis said, the girl's pitiful eyes gradually stagnated, and then turned into a dangerous gaze again.

"Oh, please don't look at me with that look, it's just to give you a little encouragement."

But this time, Avis was already prepared, and added a layer of mental protection to himself in advance, blocking the girl's angry eyes and mental power together.

All the means failed. The girl looked at Avis's hateful smile and wanted to pounce on him and take a bite.

She angrily opened the book in her hand and forced herself to continue reading. Although she felt extremely bored, she could remember everything she saw with her powerful talent.

She actually understood Avis's approach in her heart. After all, it was her father's request, so she didn't do it perfunctorily at this time.

However, although she understood that Avis didn't want her to be punished by her father, the girl's resentment towards Avis would not decrease at all.

In the next half month, the girl spent her afternoon reading books boredly - listening to stories excitedly - reading books irritably.

By the way, because the girl's resentment with spiritual power somewhat affected his reading, Avis specially made a crystal ball to collect the girl's resentment.

These resentments can be used as special materials to refine some unique alchemical items.

After Fiona learned the purpose of the crystal ball, the concentration of resentment directly broke through a new level, allowing Anvis to collect a lot of negative emotions and smile very brightly.

…………

Half a month later, the Duke held a practical class for the two again.

In this class, the Duke brought some low-level mages from the family mage group and asked them to compete with each other to demonstrate the battle between real mages to the two.

In order to leave an impression in front of the Duke, these low-level mages used their best skills and spells, which opened Fiona and Anvis's eyes.

Of course, Fiona was really eye-opening, and Anvis's real feelings were not mentioned.

After each battle, the Duke would set aside some time for the two to ask questions and answer what they didn't understand.

Occasionally, after the two finished asking questions, the Duke would also ask some corresponding questions for the two to answer.

If the two couldn't answer, the Duke would tell them the answer directly, but if they still couldn't answer the next time they asked similar questions, the Duke would punish them according to the situation.

At the end of the class, the Duke asked the two a question:

In your mind, what is the fighting style of the nobles?

Fiona thought about it and gave a seemingly plausible answer, while Avis recited it again based on his memories of his previous life.

After hearing this, the Duke did not make any comments on the answers of the two. He just smiled and then announced that the ban of the two was over, which made Fiona extremely happy.

…………

On the afternoon of a new day, Anvis came to the spell testing ground.

A month had passed since the previous spell test, and he came to check the subsequent changes in the kangaroo beast.

The manager of the testing ground was an old sixth-level mage. When he learned of Anvis's intention, the old mage immediately brought out the kangaroo beast.

Thanks to Anvis, the kangaroo was kept alone and well cared for. When Anwes saw it again, he found that it had become fatter than last month.

"Hmph——"

Seeing Anvis' arrival, the kangaroo beast snorted and changed from a lying position to a standing position. The heart-shaped white mark on its back shook twice towards Anvis.

Anvis directly threw a sleeping spell, so the kangaroo beast that had just stood up fell down again.

Stepping forward, the young man's hands wearing pure white gloves reached into the gap of the cage, pressed into the heart shape on the back of the beast, and carefully detected the life breath of the flesh and blood below.

Anvis is very cautious about the spells attached to the Old Mysteries because he is not familiar with these spells.

It is not enough to just rely on the introduction provided by the Old Secret Scriptures. Only by testing the specific effects through experiments can he truly determine in what situations they should be used.
