Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 65 The Radiant Elf, Barbara's Bloodline Abilities

"My ideal type of woman is probably younger than me."

"So, I'm not Mr. Leo's type of woman?"

Barbara's eyes were filled with tears.

Leo laughed and said, "In any case, Ms. Barbara, if you were to appear on stage as an actress, you would surely be the most dazzling one there."

Barbara said resentfully, "Then why is there not the slightest sign of interest in me in your eyes, Mr. Leo?"

"I..."

Just as Leo was about to say something, Barbara's eyes suddenly regained their clarity. Her face tightened, and the girlish shyness in her voice disappeared as she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Leo, I lost my composure a bit. The spell we were researching yesterday seems to have produced some unexpected side effects today."

"I see."

Leo nodded, taking Barbara's explanation to heart.

In reality, if you ask him whether he believes it or not, he himself would have to question it.

Barbara's girlish behavior just now made the atmosphere between the two quite awkward.

The saleswoman then interjected:

"Lord Leo Wizard, these are the materials you wish to purchase."

"There are a total of 422 magic stones."

After paying the fee for the magic stones, Leo was preparing to leave.

Barbara asked, "Mr. Leo, I wonder if you have practiced magic related to flesh and blood puppets?"

Leo wasn't too surprised.

Nova had previously demonstrated his ability to see through the type of magic a person was practicing at a glance.

As fellow wizards, Barbara's spiritual energy far surpasses his own, so it's not surprising that she could see through this.

Leo said, "I have indeed dabbled in this area recently."

"Mr. Leo, I have a herb-gathering commission. I wonder if you'd be interested?" Barbara's eyes lit up. "This commission requires gathering herbs in a rather dangerous environment. However, if you possess the magic of the Flesh Doll type, the gathering process will be almost risk-free."

"For every piece of material you help me gather, I can give you 50 magic stones."

Upon hearing this, Leo thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

"Alright then." Barbara looked disappointed.

After Leo left, the saleswoman timidly asked, "Manager, what happened to you just now? Did you fall in love with the wizard Leo at first sight?"

"No, that was a spell backlash."

Barbara pondered for a moment: "I originally wanted to use my bloodline ability to secure a future where he would have feelings for me, so that it would be easier to make a deal with him later. However, after casting the spell, not only did I fail, but I also suffered a backlash."

Barbara possesses an extremely special bloodline, whose abilities are similar to prophetic magic, allowing her to stabilize the future in a way that makes any man who sees her unconsciously develop feelings for her.

This positive feeling isn't necessarily infatuation; it could just be a first impression like, "Ah, this is a good person."

Barbara just used this bloodline ability on Leo.

Unfortunately, not only did he not get what he wanted, he also suffered a backlash.

She herself has created a future in which she feels close to Leo.

The saleswoman's eyes widened.

She knew how strong Barbara's bloodline ability was; even a second-class wizard apprentice might not be able to withstand it. Yet, Leo not only withstood it but also caused a backlash against Barbara.

The saleswoman asked with a look of surprise and doubt, "Could it be that Lord Leo the Wizard possesses a demonic item that can resist your bloodline abilities?"

"Impossible. I didn't detect the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, and even if there were, it would at most negate my bloodline abilities, not cause a backlash."

"There's something wrong with him."

Barbara hesitated for a moment, still unable to figure out what methods Leo had used: "You should be careful when you contact him in the future."

"I understand, manager."

The saleswoman said, "But manager, since he's so dangerous, why did you hire him to gather materials? Were you still recovering from the backlash?"

Barbara shook her head and said, "No, I've already recovered from the backlash, but..."

"I had no choice but to hire him. The time for the first prophecy is approaching, and I desperately need those materials to refine potions to quickly improve my spells. Unfortunately, flesh puppet-type spells are considered niche spells in the Tower of Dawn. And I don't have enough magic stones."

Barbara sighed.

After a moment of silence, the saleswoman asked, "Manager, it's not even the end of the year yet. Did you suddenly come back to the store because of the first prophecy?"

Barbara's eyes flashed with seriousness as she said, "That's right, the Tower Master's first prophecy... 'The nobles' century-long plan has drawn back the curtain of chaos.'"

"There are four prophecies. Although we, the Light Elves, are in the third prophecy, I need to determine whether we, the Light Elves, will become enemies of the Tower of Dawn as predicted."

The thought of potentially becoming enemies with the Tower of Dawn made the saleswoman's face pale slightly. She said, "Manager, why do you think the Tower Master is so fixated on these four prophecies? He not only drove away those excellent Protoss wizards, but even fell out with a powerful formal wizard like Esmond."

Barbara was silent for a moment, then said, "You're not a wizard, you don't understand."

"In pursuit of truth, we wizards can become mad."

"If the prophecy comes true, then even if the Tower of Dawn is destroyed in the end, the Tower Master will still be able to achieve his goal and ascend to the realm that even first-ring wizards yearn for."

"The Tower Master's pursuit of that realm is just like our pursuit of the first-ring wizard realm."

"The coming period is one of undercurrents."

"I need to improve my skills as much as possible."

"Please post a request in the shop for me, asking me to find a wizard who has mastered flesh and blood puppet magic. The conditions remain the same: 50 magic stones for each set of materials."

"Yes, manager."

Leo, having left the woodpecker's hut, stood at the doorway, looking back thoughtfully.

The store manager, Barbara, gave Leo a very dangerous aura.

Leo's fingertips slid off the scales of the seven-colored dragon.

The dragon scales of the seven-colored dragon did not detect any hostility from Barbara towards Leo.

This means that Barbara's dangerous aura does not stem from hostility towards Leo, but rather from some unknown dangerous ability.

Before Barbara started acting strangely, Leo hadn't used the Rainbow Dragon's scales, but they had reacted nonetheless. It seems some mechanism was triggered, causing the Rainbow Dragon's scales to neutralize the dangerous power.

That's why Leo didn't agree to Barbara's request earlier.

Leo then returned to the Esmond rally.

At the door of the cottage, Leo happened to see Jasmine carrying a large backpack.

Leo asked curiously, "Jasmine, where are you going?"

"Leo, I'm going to sea." Jasmine's face was full of seriousness as she said, "I've accepted the Knights' mission to hunt sea monsters."

Leo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How many magic stones is the reward?"

"5 magic stones."

Leo then asked, "Have you mastered mental radiation?"

Jasmine nodded and said, "I've got it."

Hearing Jasmine say this, Leo was surprised but also relieved. He said, "Have a safe journey, Jasmine. Of the new students from this year's Esmond Gathering, only you, Chris, and I remain. I don't want to see either of you or Chris leave."

When Jasmine heard Leo say this, a slight smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Leo, although there is a big gap between us, I still consider you and Chris as my friends."

After watching Jasmine leave, Leo returned to his room and took out all the various potion materials he had just bought.
