Chapter 42: Prophecy Magic and the Girl's Plan
"It seems that there are indeed no adverse consequences, at least not in the short term."
The physical condition of the 猡猡 beast is very normal, and there are no signs of disorder or decay.
After collecting the experimental data, Avis asked the manager of the test site to continue to raise the 猡猡 beast alone and record the physical condition of the 猡猡 beast once a month.
After finishing the observation of the 猡猡 beast, Avis changed a venue. He planned to test several prophecy spells that he had mastered recently.
Due to the short time, Avis has only mastered a few spells at present.
Psychic strike, predictive attack, suppress good luck, true knowledge flash, and mirror silver divination.
Among them, the effect of psychic strike is to predict the enemy's position, so that the next attack can achieve a near-certain effect.
Predictive attack is just the opposite. It can predict the true position of the enemy's next attack, so as to dodge in advance.
Suppressing good luck is just like the name of the spell, which will turn the European emperor into a non-European. For example, accidentally losing your wallet while walking, accidentally burping while chanting, etc.
However, the effect of this spell will only last for a short time. And after the recipient encounters bad luck, the spell effect will end immediately.
With Avis' current level of prophecy, the above magic that acts on others cannot be much stronger than Avis. Otherwise, the spell will most likely fail.
The spell of True Knowledge Flash is quite special. It allows the caster to ask a question to an unknown special existence. Once a day, the accuracy rate is very high, but only yes or no answers can be obtained.
Mirror Silver Divination originated from an ancient book on the bookshelf. If the first four spells belong to the popular spells of the prophecy school, then Mirror Silver Divination can be regarded as a secret.
This spell requires a specially treated moonlight mercury as a medium. When casting the spell, the caster needs a shallow basin filled with moonlight mercury as a prop.
When preparing to do something, the caster can divine the result.
Depending on the result, different ripples will appear on the surface of the mercury. The caster can know whether the result of the action is good or bad through the feedback of the ripples.
If the ripples are uniform and orderly, it means there will be a good result. If the ripples are disorderly, it means there will be a bad result.
If there is no fluctuation on the surface of mercury, it means that the predicted things are beyond the ability of the prophet.
Moreover, as the level of the prophet increases, this spell has more changes, such as finding the location of some things.
…………
Anvis released a gray skylark, which is a very common first-level wind-type monster that often appears in groups in forest areas.
Staring at the bird flying in the air, Anvis cast a telepathic attack.
Then, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart: the next moment, the position of the gray skylark was a certain point.
He immediately sent a wind blade to that direction. At this time, the gray skylark flying in the air just turned a small corner, and was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and suddenly hit the wind blade.
However, due to the long distance, the power of the wind blade was greatly weakened, and only a few gray feathers on the wings of the skylark were knocked off.
The gray skylark that was hit screamed, and its angry eyes were immediately aimed at Avis on the ground.
It dived down, and when it was close to a certain distance, it flapped its wings violently, and a small and solid wind blade instantly shot towards Avis.
Looking at the incoming wind blade, Avis gently took two steps to the right. The translucent wind blade passed by his side by a hair's breadth, hit the reinforced ground, and broke into a ball of turbulence.
Guessing that the gray skylark would be angered by the wind blade, he cast a predictive attack in advance when the bird dived.
While passing by the wind blade, Avis locked onto the bird in the air, raised his hand, and cast a suppressing good luck on it.
The bird in the air suddenly felt something was wrong, it flapped its wings, and a trace of confusion flashed in its eyes. Then he put this feeling behind him and dived towards Avis again, intending to repeat the same trick.
But this time, when the bird approached Avis, its right wing suddenly twitched unnaturally. This instantly destroyed its balance, causing it to flutter violently in the air for a circle and a half, and then fell to the ground dizzy.
"Wing cramp?"
Avis looked at the gray skylark with a strange look, and a black tentacle suddenly emerged from thin air and tied it tightly.
Then he ignored its violent struggle and stuffed it back into the original cage.

"HMMMMMM... Hehe——"
After a long-awaited nap, Fiona rubbed her eyes and sat up, her two tender white hands pushed hard against her head, and stretched a little.
Because she had been cramming for half a month of headache-inducing inscription knowledge in the library, the girl was still a little depressed.
After a light yawn, she put down her arms, patted her pink lips with her slender white fingers in an extremely tempting way, and stood up and left the room, leaving this unintentional charming scene in the empty room.
"Annie, let's go--"
While Anvis was testing the newly mastered prophecy magic, Fiona left Moon Castle for the first time in a long time and boarded the family's alchemical floating airship to go to Karras City.
She was going to do something she had planned for a long time.
………
The Queen's Avenue in the central part of Karras was built in the Glorious Year 1622, and now it has been nearly a thousand years. Over the long time, it and the buildings on both sides of it have undergone many expansions, and now it has become the most prosperous commercial district in Karras.
Exquisite masonry buildings lined both sides of the avenue, and four-wheeled carriages drove slowly in the center of the flat white stone road. Noisy crowds moved along the roadside separated by flower beds.
The alchemy shop ‘Mystery’, the weapons shop ‘Dragon’s Teeth’, the clothing shop ‘Cladine Star’…
Top brands from all walks of life in the empire have their facades on this street.
Here, you can find top-grade mirage beads from the Tempest Ocean, inscribed chain mail from the craftsman city of Avedon, divine grace amulets from the City of Psalms, and even top-grade black tea and elven art from another distant continent.
As long as you have enough gold coins, there is almost nothing you can't buy here.
"Annie, tell me, what should I buy as my fourth brother's farewell gift?"
Fiona was wearing a light off-white dress and a wide-brimmed hat decorated with light blue ribbons. She walked briskly among the bustling crowd.
Although Anvis told stories out of context every day (?), which made her uncomfortable for half a month.
But as the only brother in the family who is always by her side, the relationship between Fiona and Anvis is actually the closest among her brothers and sisters.
Therefore, when she learned from her mother that her fourth brother was about to leave for the Royal Capital Academy, the girl thought of preparing a parting gift.
"Master Avis's gift should be chosen by you personally, miss."
Looking at the girl's slender back, Annie, who was half a step behind her, spoke softly.
Compared with Anvis' personal maid, Erica, who is full of energy. Her personality is quieter and her temperament is very gentle, giving people the feeling of a gentle big sister.
While she is a personal maid, she is also a fourth-level spellcaster specializing in natural magic. When Fiona occasionally travels, she will accompany her in the open.
