"...It was a very deep cave. Of course, it might not be that deep. It's just that Fiona landed too slowly."
"So she had plenty of time to look around and guess what was down there,"
"She looked down first, but 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 took over and Fiona asked softly.
"Then... today's story is over, dear Fei, it's time to continue studying inscription literature."
Anvis showed a mysterious smile and winked at Fiona. Then he stopped talking, stood up and returned to the desk, and the phantom in mid-air quietly disappeared.
"Ugh - I refuse!"
The key part of the story was suddenly cut off, which made Fiona feel as if she was breathing halfway and then suddenly got stuck. Her little face suddenly bulged like a bun.
But while 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 another weight in her hand, and the second and third books were stacked directly on top of her.
On the side, Anvis controlled the mage's hand, pulled out "Basic Inscription Drawing" and "The Meaning of the Inscription Array" from the bookshelf, and threw them into the girl's hands.
???
The girl looked at the several books stacked together in her hand with dull eyes, which were almost as tall as her head, and her mentality almost exploded.
"It's your freedom whether to read it or not, dear Fei. However, it is also my freedom whether to continue this story tomorrow."
Regarding Fiona's resentment that almost broke through the ceiling of the library, Avis responded with an elegant smile while turning the pages of the book.
"After all, my lovely sister cannot be punished by her father again because of me -"
In the girl's eyes, this smile was tantamount to a devil's smile.
"Brother... can you please tell me another paragraph... just a short paragraph, and then I will go and read a book..."
Fiona showed a pitiful expression, her big eyes were watery, and she looked pleadingly at the pale boy sitting at the desk, like a little animal that had been ruthlessly abandoned.
But in the eyes of Anvis, who is familiar with all kinds of acting skills and routines, the girl's performance was full of flaws.
"It's no use pretending to be pitiful, my dear sister."
Anvis read the book in his hand and answered without blinking.
"Also, please don't rush into it while reading, because I will also ask a few random questions later. If you can't answer them, tomorrow's story will be gone as well..."
Following Anvis's words, the girl's pitiful eyes gradually became dull, and then turned into a dangerous gaze again.
"Oh, please don't look at me like that, it's just to give you a little encouragement."
But this time, Anvis had taken precautions and added a layer of spiritual barrier to himself in advance to block the girl's angry eyes and mental power.
All methods failed. The girl looked at Anvis's hateful smile and wanted to pounce on him and take a bite.
Angrily, he opened the book in his hand and forced himself to continue reading. Although he felt extremely bored, under the influence of his powerful talent, he was able to have a photographic memory.
In her heart, she actually understood what Avis was doing. After all, it was her father's request, so she didn't do anything perfunctory at this time.
However, one code equals another. Although she understands that Anvis does not want her to be punished by her father, the resentment towards Anvis in the girl's heart at this time will not diminish at all.
In the next half month, the girl spent her afternoon reading boringly, listening to stories excitedly, and reading books irritably.
By the way, because the girl's mental resentment somewhat affected his reading, Anvis 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, her resentment level reached a new level, causing Anvisto to collect a lot of negative emotions and smile brightly.
…………
Half a month later, the Duke once again held a practical class for the two of them.
In this class, the Duke brought some low-level mages from the family mages and asked them to compete against each other, demonstrating to the two of them the battle between real mages.
In order to leave an impression in front of the Duke, these low-level mages used their best skills and spells, which was an eye-opener for Fiona and Avis.
Of course, Fiona was really eye-opening, let alone Avis’s true feelings.
After each battle, the Duke would set aside a period of time for the two to ask questions and answer them what they didn't understand.
Occasionally, after the two people finished asking questions, the Duke would also ask some corresponding questions for the two people to answer.
If neither of them can answer the question, the Duke will tell them the answer directly. However, if they are still unable to answer a similar question next time, the Duke will punish them according to the situation.
At the end of the class, the Duke asked the two of them a question:
In your mind, what is the fighting style of nobles?
Fiona thought for a while and gave a plausible answer, while Avis recited it against the memory of his previous life.
After hearing this, the Duke did not make any comments on the answers given by the two. He just smiled and then announced that their ban 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 yam was raised in a separate place and received good care. When Anvis saw it again, he found that it was a full circle fatter than last month.
"Hmph——"
Seeing Anvis' arrival, the kangaroo beast snorted, changed from a lying position to a standing position, and the heart-shaped white mark on its back shook twice towards Anvis.
Anvis directly threw a sleeping spell, and the yang beast that had just stood up fell down again.
Walking 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 was very cautious about the spells attached to the Old Mysteries because he was not familiar with these spells.
It is not enough to just rely on the introduction provided by the Old Mysteries. Only by testing the specific effects through experiments can he truly determine in what situations they should be used.
