Chapter 89 - 87: Darkness
David, of course, could not possibly change his established itinerary just to seek out a teacher named Attilicia.
Even though Teacher Attilicia’s guidance indeed had a substantial influence on the speed of his initial wealth accumulation.
Nevertheless, the somewhat baffling plea from the Duke of Silver just before departure still left David with a touch of confusion. Why, he wondered, was the Duke of Silver so certain that he would encounter Priest Attilicia on his return journey, and even ask him to prevent her from doing something ’foolish’?
However, considering she was a High Elf who might have lived for centuries and was capable of casting prophecy school spells like "Divination" or "Prophecy," it wasn’t entirely surprising.
But whether it was the fourth-circle "Divination" or "Prophecy," or any other prophetic spells in this world, under the interference of the torrents of time, they couldn’t provide absolutely certain answers. Instead, their results were brief, ambiguous, and frustratingly required personal interpretation.
This was also why many prophecy school spellcasters adept at divination were often dismissed as charlatans and shunned.
But what kind of act would even the Duke of Silver deem foolish?
David, who had just replicated the Sobering Potion in a single day and steadily improved its quality over the following half-month, suddenly slapped his forehead as a possibility struck him:
Could it be that Teacher Attilicia genuinely mistook him for that one-in-a-million alchemy genius? So much so that she would abandon her reputation to intercept him on his way home and ’kidnap’ him, taking him on as her final disciple?
HISS... Thinking like this, she really might resort to force against me!
