Chapter 279 Your Luck Isn't Enough
However, this prophetic spell was blocked by the seven-colored dragon scales on Leo's body.
Augusta kept her eyes fixed on Leo.
He was certain.
When his prophetic spell was neutralized, it wasn't blocked by anything from the wizarding system.
It's very likely that it was Leo's bloodline ability, or something that wasn't part of the wizarding system, that blocked it.
Augusta couldn't really tell what it was.
Augusta kept observing Leo's expression but found no flaws.
Leo did not appear very composed.
He showed nervousness and unease... all of which are normal reactions for a wizarding apprentice when facing a powerful, professional wizard.
Leo's performance was reasonable.
But it is precisely because it appears reasonable that it seems unreasonable.
Augusta was certain that some of what Leo had just said was false, and it was even possible that it was all false.
One possibility is coincidence, but with so many possibilities, it can't be explained by mere coincidence.
If it were any other wizard apprentice, even a formal wizard, Augusta would not hesitate to imprison them and use magic to extract the secret from them in order to obtain it.
But Leo is different.
He is the Prosperian who conforms to the prophecy of Augusta.
It is the key piece that will allow Augusta to reach the second ring.
Augusta was filled with conflicting thoughts, but in the end, he did not make a move against Leo.
Augusta waved his hand and said, "Alright, you may leave."
"Yes, Lord Augusta."
After Leo left, Beth came in.
Augusta said calmly, "Beth, are you interested in my conversation with Leo?"
Beth was taken aback, then began to pledge his loyalty: "Lord Augusta, I will know what you need to know, and I don't need to know what you don't need to know."
Augusta was pleased with Beth's attitude. He nodded slightly and said, "I just inquired about Leo's secrets, wanting to know if he had any means to help other formal wizards complete their important research, and his answer was yes."
"However, he said it was an ability that belonged to his bloodline."
He also said that this kind of bloodline ability requires a lot of time to accumulate.
"After helping Stoffens and others, his remaining savings are only enough to help one more wizard."
Augusta said, "I've already come a long way on my second-ring road and don't need his help. So, Beth... I'll give you this opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Beth's face lit up with joy, and she said, "Lord Augusta, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Augusta waved his hand and said, "Alright, I need to rest."
Beth then left the room.
As soon as he left, Beth's expression darkened: "This Augusta is using me as a pawn, trying to get me to deal with Stoffen."
"However... if Leo really does possess this bloodline ability that could aid my research, then..."
Beth said firmly, "Even if I have to be used as a pawn by Augusta, I must seize this opportunity."
Leo, who was leaving the central area, let out a soft sigh.
Although everything went as I expected, I really don't want to experience playing mind games with a legitimate wizard again.
Even though Leo anticipated all of Augusta's actions and took precautions in advance.
However, if any one of these aspects is overlooked, Leo will face utter ruin.
A proper wizard is not easily fooled.
Moreover, Augusta is the pinnacle of formal wizards.
Although the operation was fraught with danger, it was not without its gains.
When emphasizing that "the status of wizards is above that of knights," Augusta revealed an angry expression. At that moment, Augusta even felt a hint of resentment and murderous intent towards Leo.
Even when discussing Leo's ability to assist other wizards, Augusta could control his emotions perfectly.
The only thing that made Augusta lose control of her emotions was the fact that wizards held a high status.
Considering the current image of the Tower of Dawn and its relationship with other forces in the Sea of Sinking Light...
A bold conjecture came to Leo's mind.
The disparity in status between wizards and knights, among demi-human races... may have nothing to do with prophecy, but it is undoubtedly related to Augusta's research direction.
Augusta is Leo's greatest enemy in the future, so Leo wants to know as much as possible about him.
Having received the permission granted by Augusta, Leo went to the Central Spell Library the next day.
The Central Spell Library is located on the tenth floor of the tower.
The person in charge is a certified wizard.
He wasn't wearing a wizard's robe, but rather short sleeves.
He had a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes, but his expression was incredibly languid.
Upon seeing Leo, he sized him up and said, "I am Yuri, the head of the Central Spell Library. You need credentials to enter the Central Spell Library."
Leo took out a badge from his pocket.
A data stream-like fluctuation flashed in Yuri's eyes as he said, "Check complete. You may enter."
Leo stepped across the gate in front of him.
The moment he entered the gate, Leo's body seemed to be teleported away, disappearing from the spot.
After entering the Central Spell Library.
What appeared before Leo's eyes was not rows of bookshelves filled with various books.
Instead, it is a weightless space similar to the universe.
In this weightless space.
Numerous books floated up and drifted.
Leo reached out his hand, and a book came into his grasp.
Leo opened the book, and clear words appeared inside.
At that moment, Yuri's voice came through.
"Young wizard apprentice. All the books in the Central Spell Library are in a shuffled order; you can only acquire them by luck."
Leo frowned.
This setting struck him as very strange.
Not only are these useful resources not organized, but they are also obtained randomly. Doesn't this prevent others from easily accessing the valuable knowledge within them?
Yuri's voice rang out again: "A wizard's acquisition of knowledge is subject to a certain destiny. If destiny prevents you from obtaining this knowledge, then you will never acquire it. What knowledge you can gain here depends entirely on your destiny."
Leo raised an eyebrow, and then he reached out again, and another book fell into his hands.
Leo flipped through it and, just like the previous book, found nothing of interest to him.
If this is the work of fate, then fate doesn't want him to acquire any valuable knowledge.
Leo shook his head.
He didn't believe in this so-called concept of fate.
Leo continued his attempts to acquire the books.
Yuri's voice rang out after they had acquired ten books and still gained nothing.
"You have reached your daily limit for the number of books you can collect. You can no longer stay in the library. Please leave."
