Sorcerer’s Handbook

Chapter 199: I Told You Not to Ask

Do not ask any questions about Ashe Heath.

Brushing his teeth, Igor stared at the Revelation reflected in the mirror, lost in thought.

He had few doubts about the Revelation; it was just annoyingwhy was it always him?

Since encountering Ashe, nine out of the ten Revelations Igor had received were about that guy. The last one advised Igor to stay with Emma forever and have nine childrennow that he thought about it, being with Emma meant avoiding the Destiny of meeting Ashe, didnt it?

From now on, when in doubt, just blame Ashe

Wait a minute, thinking it over, how could he, a Human of the Bewitcher Bloodline, have nine children with someone from the Moonshadow?

Although Emma was indeed cute beyond her quirky nerves, with a perky posterior, soft bosom, slender waist, and very touchable big tail and wolf ears, the Blood Saints of the Moonshadow simply lacked reproductive cells. From the start, they couldnt participate in procreation, which meant Emma couldnt have children no matter what

Wait, so the Revelation meant for me to have children?

With the Bio-modification technology of the Blood Moon Kingdom, it wasnt impossible No, thats not right, I almost got sidetrackedwhy have children? Im not lacking any fertility rewards

Having finished his grooming routine, Igor opened the curtains, nearly blinded by the sunlight that greeted him.

It was hard to imagine that in such a grand two-tiered city, the sunlight was not blocked outjust the night before, Igor noticed the citys architecture bloomed like petals, buildings near the central lake were lower, and those toward the edges of the city towered high.

Nothing seemed unusual at night, but come daylight, the suns rays entered the central lake and, with the help of various reflective devices, diffused like a blossoming flower into every corner of the city. Viewed from above, the entire city sparkled brightly, with high-speed vehicles weaving through the streets and well-dressed people walking under the sun, as if strolling through the clouds.

Even though on his first day here, he was trafficked to the Four Pillars Cult, seeing this scene, it was difficult for anyone to harbor ill feelings towards this nationcompared to the Gospel Kingdom, the Blood Moon Kingdom was just too gloomy.

However, Igor didnt think the Gospel was better than the Blood Moon Kingdom just because of that. If you only focused on the Upper District and the government quarters of Kaimon City, youd think it was a world where people were polite, graceful, and the air was filled with milk and honey.

And as Ashe saidif it really was as wonderful as heaven here, why would members of the Four Pillars Cult, fed and full, gather in the underground hall to play their live-action pranks?

The brighter the light, the deeper the shadows. Abundant resources dont solve all problems. Nobody in the Blood Moon Kingdom starves, but once people can survive, they naturally seek moreto have more, to own more, whether its a sense of superiority, security, or pleasure.

This is true for all races. Even the lowliest Goblins dream of ruling the world, and the most conservative Elves crave to see things burn.

Thats why the Mind Faction is the most powerful of the Magical Factions in this era.

Igor entered the living room and found Harvey and Lise already having breakfast, with Banjeet attending to them. The breakfast was bread with jam, vegetable salad, milk coffee, and custard-filled Lala Fatty. Apart from eating such a high-calorie food like Lala Fatty first thing in the morning, it was not much different from what he was used to in the Blood Moon Kingdom.

Wheres Miss Annan?

Shes out socializing. Banjeet said with a slight smile, the young butlers poise causing a stir within Igor: Please let me know if theres anything you need.

Igor composed himself and glanced at the far end of the corridor: What about Ashe?

He hasnt gotten up yet. Harvey piled a considerable amount of pungent chili powder on his bread and took a bite: Why dont you go wake him up?

Why should I? Igor looked at the little girl with a ponytail: Lise, go wake up that guy whos going to be your servant in 101 days.

Hes not a servant. Lise corrected earnestly: Hes Lises daddy!

I see, you come from a place where servants are called daddy, right? Igor waved his hand dismissively: You go wait a second, come to think of it, this isnt Shattered Lake anymore

Since this wasnt Shattered Lake Prison, some of the little tricks Igor had picked up for everyday interactions might actually come in handy.

Quickly, Igor filled a bucket with water and hid beside Lise, signaling her to knock on the door and call out.

Daddy, time for breakfast!

Daddy, the sun is shining so brightly today, come out and play with Lise!

Daddy, Aunt Bukin is sniffing Lala Fatty with her nose!

Really? Ashe swung the door open suddenly.

Right now!

Igor doused him with the Tricksters Water, a liquid blessed with his Mind Miracle, which could be activated whether consumed or applied externally, though it worked best when used to wash ones face.

The target hit with the liquid would instantly feel a surge of anger. However, when the victim first laid eyes on a beautiful person, that anger would transform into an equal amount of affection directed at the beauty; but if the first person they saw was ugly, the anger would morph into a strong killing intent.

Hence, this miracle was also known as First Impressions, one of the few Mind Miracles in Igors arsenal. Combined with his natural good looks, the miracle could instantly max out someones affection, allowing him to hold sway over the target.

Usually, Igor would cast the spell on someones drink, but with Ashe, there was no need for such courtesydousing him directly was best!

Slap!

Clang!

The bucket was sent flying high, hitting the ceiling and falling back down.

Ashe, maintaining his retaliation stance, looked at Igor and Lise, who were now soaked, and asked in confusion, What are you doing?

Ashe hadnt even realized what had happened, but his Primal Instincts had automatically counterattacked the moment Igor attacked from out of his line of sight.

Both glanced at Ashe unconsciously, and then Lise looked up at Igor with a disdainful expression that seemed to say how can you be worse than my dad, before stomping on Ashes foot and woefully heading back to her room to change clothes.

Igor quickly used a spirit to calm his mind, checking to see if his affection for Ashe had changed. Hmm, seeing him looking like a loser makes me want to step on him too, which means the significant decrease in affection option was triggered, so no change there.

Consequently, Igor also stepped on Ashes foot, huffed coldly, and returned to his room to change clothes.

In that moment, Igor suddenly recalled the Revelation just receivedthe very reason he had asked about Ashe was what sparked the idea to use Tricksters Water, which led to Ashe countering and ultimately Igors own disheveled state.

Damn, it was all Ashes fault!

Ashe, still utterly bewildered, thought to himselfDid you two skip breakfast or something? Those stomps were so feeble, Freya hits much harder when she ambushes me at night.
