Xavier sighed helplessly.
Daisy was indeed very strong, but her personality was too flamboyant. If it was not for her flamboyant personality, they would have already completed their plan.
He did not know what his boss was doing.
Xavier lowered his eyes and thought seriously.
At this moment, Audrey was on her way back to her dorm, while Ross kept muttering to herself.
“Audrey, how come I didn’t know that you have such a powerful combat aura? I thought you were just talented in pharmaceutics.”
“Oh my G.o.d, you don’t know what I just saw. It was that move of yours where you deflected all three of her moves. It was so cool.”
“Audrey, I suddenly feel that some of your strength is enough to challenge some of the seniors. You have to know that in our school, even if you were to challenge seniors, there would still be…”
Audrey sighed, “Ross, I understand. But can you be quiet for a moment? I need to think about something.”
It was just these words that made Ross shut her mouth immediately.
Audrey looked at the remote building not far away. If she remembered correctly, the hidden branch that Klein had mentioned yesterday was located there.
It seemed like she could look for a place to learn.
After all, although she was dual-cultivating and her combat aura cultivation speed was even faster than magic, she could not wait to improve her magic power.
The reason why she had not broken through to the divine realm in her previous life was probably that she had not noticed it on some small level, which was why such a situation had happened.
Then…
The knowledge here was very likely to be of help to her.
“Ross, Barbara, the two of you can go back first. I still have some things to do,” Audrey said.
Ross clearly did not understand where she was going. “What are you going to do? We’ll be under curfew in a while. If we don’t return before curfew, we’ll be punished.”
Audrey waved her hand casually.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Audrey walked towards the path. Only then did she realize that there were not many people around. It was clearly a very remote path.
The building that Klein had mentioned was at the end of the path. It looked dilapidated and had only one floor. The door next to it was made of wood, and it looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.
It seemed like as long as there was a gust of wind, a light blow could destroy the wooden door.
Audrey narrowed her eyes. After stopping in front of the door, she raised her hand and knocked. She realized that there was no response from inside.
At that moment, she noticed that there was a smaller house next to it.
The door seemed to be locked as if it did not want anyone to open it. Moreover, there was a faint aura of magic coming from inside.
Audrey sensed it for a moment and realized that the elemental power in the surroundings was actually a little thicker than the other places in the school. She suddenly understood why the legendary branch was built here.
“Sorry to disturb you.” Audrey walked in and felt an ancient aura coming from inside. Although it did not look like there was anyone inside, there was not a single speck of dust on any of the books inside. Clearly, someone had been cleaning the place frequently.
After entering, Audrey saw a few open books on the table. Inside were the spells used to chant magic, but they were slightly different from the ones in her previous life.
She stood there and flipped through them for some time, roughly understanding why there were fewer and fewer people learning magic in this world.
This was because magic was something that relied on talent. After a person was born, the stronger their perception of the surrounding elements was, the higher their talent in magic would be.
She did not know when it started, but people paid more attention to the aspect of the battle spirit because it was easy to cultivate. Moreover, even commoners could have a way to cultivate it, unlike magic, which required very systematic and specialized learning, only then could one successfully activate a spell.
It was because of this that magic was drowned in the long river of history.
Until now, very few people were able to truly master magic.
Audrey lowered her eyes, and her fingertips gently brushed across the pages of the book. She could feel the quaint writing on it.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Audrey jumped in fright. She quickly hid behind a cabinet beside her and saw the door being pushed open. A person wearing a long robe and a hood walked in from outside. Her face could not be seen clearly.
The person seemed to have realized that someone had come in. After carefully observing for a moment, his movements suddenly stopped.
Audrey held her breath and hid her aura to the extreme.
The person had no intention of looking for her. Instead, he put away all the books on the table, stood up, and went to the cabinet on the side. He took out two books, turned around, and left the room.
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like this matter was still very dangerous. If she had not been extra careful today, she might have been discovered.
Next time, she would remember to hide her aura.
With this thought in mind, Audrey rummaged through the cabinet in front of her and found a book written in red.
She opened the book, flipped through it, and immersed herself in it.
