552 Causes and Consequences of Divination (1/2)

So, even if anything bad happened, they wouldn't be afflicted.

Roland wanted the catgirl to go too, but she simply lay on the wall of the manor and gazed at Roland while shouting, ”Master, I want to see how you can pick up ten gold coins. I'll be vigilant. Just don't kick me away, okay?”

Cats were curious animals, and so were catgirls.

Roland thought for a moment and said, ”Then keep a distance from me and don't come close.”

The catgirl lay on the wall and nodded quickly.

The catgirl wouldn't have been interested if it were a regular experiment.

But this was about money. If ten gold coins could be picked up easily with a spell, her master wouldn't be short of money in the future. Could she then ask for an allowance from him?

She was truly curious.

Because of her curiosity, the perky catgirl held back the urge to play outside and chose to wait with Roland patiently.

After casting Lesser Benediction, Roland vaguely felt that it was working.

However, he couldn't exactly tell with his mental power how it was working.

He waited patiently, and time went by.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

Half an hour passed… The catgirl was already yawning on the wall.

When she was about to fall asleep, her ears suddenly pricked, and she raised her head and looked at the door.

A magic apprentice was knocking at the door with a box in his hand.

Stunned, the catgirl jumped off from the high wall agilely and opened the door for the magic apprentice.

Roland approached too.

Upon seeing Roland, the magic apprentice slightly bowed and, while raising the bright gray box in his hands, said, ”Mr. Roland, this is a bonus from the Council of Elders for offering the model of the blue fireball and restricting and guiding the students.”

”Thank you.”

The average-looking magic apprentice bowed again and left.

Holding the box, Roland slowly opened it.

The catgirl had already run to Roland's side at some point.

Inside the box were some gold coins and several parchments.

”Wow. It's really ten gold coins!” Marilyn exclaimed.

Roland, on the other hand, paid attention to other things.

He put the box down on the ground and took out a few magic model graphs. They were all level-three spells, but they weren't evoking magic but Mental Brutalization in the school of Illusion, Anti-Evil Barrier in the school of Abjuration, and Summon Skeleton Archers in the school of Soul.

In the end, he finally grabbed the ten gold coins.

The ten gold coins were still emitting feeble magic waves.

He confirmed that it was his Benediction.

The ten gold coins were truly a result of his Benediction.

Did it mean that, without Lesser Benediction, the bonus would've only been the three spell models?

Huh?

Interesting.

It seemed that the random causes initiated by Benediction weren't all negative.

Considering the water that the catgirl just brought back, the odds of Lesser Benediction triggering a negative event might not be as big as he thought!

But of course, he had only conducted two experiments, which were still too few.

He needed a few more experiments.

Roland returned to the courtyard, put the box into the system Backpack, and then cast Lesser Benediction again.

He closed his hands, and a white ball of light shivered between them.

What kind of wish should he make?

While Roland was considering, Marilyn looked at Roland and the glittering ball in his hall. Then, she shouted with glowing eyes. ”I want ten gold coins too!”

Roland didn't see it coming, but the light ball in his hands disappeared.

The spell had been activated.

So, somebody else could make a wish through this spell too?

Roland wrote down this feature.

Then, he frowned and stared at the catgirl gravely, before he said, ”The divination spells are mysterious. It's hard to predict how they'll work. Now that you've made a wish, you'd better stay at home. I'll ensure your safety.”

”I don't need that.”

The moment he said that, the catgirl disappeared.

With Swift Steps and Stealth, she vanished into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

Caught unprepared, Roland failed to catch the catgirl even though he realized that she was escaping.

Charging at the enemy and fleeing were completely different things for a Rogue.
