Chapter 278 Intimidation
"If a wizard did only one of these things, then he could be considered a genius. But for all of these things to happen to one person at the same time makes me suspicious."
Augusta's eyes flashed with intense scrutiny.
His demonic pressure, along with his words, permeated Leo's entire body.
At this moment, Leo's state could be described as that of a frightened bird.
"Leo, tell me, are you hiding some secret?"
Terrifying demonic pressure, chilling interrogation.
Leo experienced all of this firsthand.
This was far more dangerous than when we faced Sakya back then.
At that time, Leo was not worried about his safety at all.
Even if Stoffen doesn't make a move, Augusta will.
But now that he's facing Augusta directly, there's no way any other official wizard would be willing to lend him a hand.
If Leo had answered without preparation, he would likely have faced endless greed and demands from other formal wizards.
With his illustrated guide, Leo would undoubtedly be the most coveted item among these official wizards.
The attitude of the formal wizards towards Leo at that time will definitely not be based on equal exchange, but rather on an endless, greedy plunder of Leo.
Of course, this is on the premise that Leo was completely unprepared.
Leo broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Lord Augusta, this concerns my secret. I wonder if I could keep it to myself?"
Augusta said, "You don't have to tell me. But if you don't, and other official wizards become interested in you later, I won't help you. Stoffen will indeed protect you, but only for a year. After a year, he won't continue to protect you."
"If you want to still have my protection a year from now, then you'd better tell me your secret honestly."
Augusta threatened.
Leo's forehead was covered in even more cold sweat. He wiped his brow, inwardly giving himself a pat on the back: "I'm practically a theatrical prodigy with top-notch acting skills!"
Don't be fooled by Leo's current sweating and nervousness; it's all an act.
To achieve that tense, sweaty state that no one would suspect, Leo even took some drugs that boosted his metabolism.
Other wizards would never have imagined that one of them would drink this type of potion to increase their mental radiation in order to achieve this state.
Wizards wouldn't pay attention to this kind of potion, so naturally, they wouldn't discover that Leo had taken it.
While formal wizards are well-versed in a wide range of disciplines, they do not concern themselves with the residue left by ingesting obscure and worthless potions.
Leo stammered, "Lord Augusta, I understand. I will tell you everything."
Seeing Leo's response, Augusta gave a nonchalant reply, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.
However, although Augusta concealed it well, it was not hard to see from his eyes that he had a deep curiosity about the matter.
"Lord Augusta, I do indeed possess a similar ability. However, this ability originates from my bloodline."
"Although I am a Pros, I seem to have the blood of a special race in me."
"I possess a unique lineage of prophetic abilities."
"This bloodline allows me to occasionally glimpse a part of other people's future."
"It was through this ability of prophetic bloodline that I was able to decipher the difficulties in other wizarding research."
Augusta gave a noncommittal reply, saying, "So, you can easily help a formal wizard solve a research problem that has been troubling them for a long time simply by using your bloodline abilities?"
Leo quickly replied, "Of course it's not that simple. Lord Augusta, my bloodline abilities are depleted every time I use them. It takes a long time to recover. The expenses I incurred helping other formal wizards solve problems have already exhausted all the resources I've accumulated since birth."
"In other words, I can no longer use this bloodline ability. At least not in the short term. It will take me several years to accumulate enough power before I can do it again."
"Besides that, luck also plays a role. I can't see the future of some people, but I can for others."
Augusta raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? So, coincidentally, your bloodline ability is unusable right now? Is that it? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
"Lord Augusta, I'm not lying," Leo quickly said. "Actually, it's just a small amount of consumption, which is manageable. Right now, my bloodline ability can even help me offset some of the effects of divination spells."
Augusta said, "Do you know what it means to deceive a legitimate wizard, Leo?"
Leo said frankly, "Lord Augusta, I did not deceive you."
Augusta said in a chilling tone, "If you haven't lied to me, then let me use the 'talking against your will' spell to interrogate you."
"You're comfortable."
Leo made a gesture as if he would let Augusta do whatever she wanted.
Seeing this, Augusta felt a little strange. He stared at Leo carefully, and suddenly he laughed: "I see. No wonder you're not worried about my interrogation at all."
"You have traces of flesh and blood magic on you."
"It seems that before you came here, you had Stoffen cast a flesh magic spell to protect your memories."
Upon hearing this, Leo's eyes widened, revealing a surprised and uneasy expression. He said, "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Instructor Stoffen had previously used flesh magic on me to protect my memory. He said it was because he was worried that if I were to be harmed by the spells of a formal wizard, the important content of his teachings in the research room would be exposed."
Augusta snorted coldly, a gloomy look flashing across his face.
However, in just a moment, Augusta's expression returned to its usual calm and composed state.
Augusta said, "I don't care what Stoffon did to you. Since you say your bloodline ability can neutralize divination spells, I'll give it a try."
Spells that can counteract prophecy exist in the Tower of Dawn.
In the Tower of Dawn, there are also magical items, called "magical artifacts," that can resist prophetic spells.
These things all belong to the wizarding system, which Augusta can easily identify.
Leo said, "Please, go ahead."
Leo was very confident.
Although wizards are very perceptive about things within the wizarding system, the seven-colored dragon scales do not belong to the wizarding system; they are a demonized creature.
Augusta had a sudden thought.
A faint spell of divination landed on Leo.
