The town's expansion and construction should have been in full swing, with commoners sweating away everywhere...

Unfortunately, the weather was terrible today. A torrential downpour had begun.

William wore a purple robe and walked along the bluestone road beneath an umbrella.

Some workers sheltering from the rain and chatting shuddered when they saw the look in his eyes.

They felt that their wages for the afternoon seemed likely to disappear because of this rain...

"Hmph, it's only raining. Why has construction been suspended?" William shot a glance at Nock, who followed beside him.

"My lord, is this just a little rain?" Nock dejectedly straightened his helmet. Ignoring the clanging above his head, he pointed at the hailstones on the ground, which gave off a chill...

"Who the hell knows... This is the subtropics. How could it possibly hail?" William twitched his lips. He had just been about to visit Moxis when the torrential rain suddenly began. The closer he got, the heavier it became, until it even turned to hail. It was practically as if the heavens themselves were stopping him from going out.

And barring any surprises, Moxis, who possessed the ability to foresee the future, seemed to have already known why he was coming. That was why he had stirred up this strange phenomenon and sent down a very refreshing mixture of ice and rain.

But such a minor obstacle could not stop William from seeking him out.

Before long, he arrived outside a Divination House and waved at Nock. "Go back first. I need a divination for tomorrow's journey."

"Yes, my lord." Nock nodded at him. In his heart, he thought his lord at least had some self-awareness and knew that he might never return once he left.

Knock, knock! William rapped on the door.

No one answered.

Knock, knock!

Still no answer.

Knock knock knock knock knock...

Creak. A slender young man with long silver hair opened the door. His eyes were bleary, and a trace of drool hung from the corner of his mouth. He looked past William and glanced around before suddenly realizing what was happening. "Oh my, Lord William. What kind of hail blew you all the way here? How strange. This godforsaken place can hail too?"

William's lips twitched. He knew this guy was an asshole, but he had not expected him to be this much of one...

As one of the few beings in Version 1.0 who could fight far above his level—far, far above it, in fact—

During the first year after the open beta, Moxis had never cast a spell above Level 69. From beginning to end, he had played the part, looking down on every player with the air of a hidden master.

And he truly was a master...

"Moxis, sleeping with your shop closed in broad daylight? Are you even doing business?" William folded his umbrella and stepped into the dim room, which was filled with cluttered magical items.

Crystal balls, gemstones, and strange ornaments were everywhere. There were also murals on the walls, as well as magical symbols he could not understand!

And the only chair meant for customers had been occupied by a black cat that had picked the worst possible place to die.

Moxis looked extremely young, with an almost feminine sort of handsomeness. His eyes held a trace of confusion as he yawned. "There wasn't much business to begin with. Open once every half year, eat for a year after opening. As long as Your Lordship's territory doesn't get smashed to pieces, I plan to stay here and wait to die with you..."

"..." William pondered for two seconds, then patted his shoulder. "Divine whether my journey to Blue Moon Town will go smoothly!"

"Fine." Moxis got up to fetch a crystal ball.

But while he turned around, William used Insight on him.

There was no need to worry about being discovered. It was a player-exclusive skill. Even if the Creator God himself stood here, he would not notice it.

Moxis Saint Vein

Race: Human

Bloodline Potential: Legendary

Class: ???

Level: ???

Health: ???

Fine. Other than his bloodline potential and race, everything else was question marks.

But fortunately...

The Handsome talent really was incredible. Their first meeting had already left an excellent impression.

After the notification sounded,

Moxis had gained 80 favorability toward him.

Not bad.

This was a good start.

"Hold out your hands and place them on the crystal ball with mine." From among numerous crystal balls, Moxis selected a pale blue one and placed it on the table.

William silently placed both hands on the crystal ball. Moxis then covered William's hands with his own, and a burst of coolness passed through their hands and into the crystal ball.

Yet that pleasant sensation flowing through his body made William shiver.

He glanced at Moxis, then at the glowing crystal ball, and could not help feeling that something was fishy.

After all, he had also undergone divinations when he had been a player. But players had no future to speak of, so nothing could be divined from them.

But...

A diviner did not need to hold his hands!

There was no such ridiculous move!

Could the rumors about Moxis be true?

That he liked men...

Layer upon layer of phantoms appeared within the crystal ball.

William could not understand them. Even though he had been reincarnated and transmigrated, he still could not understand them. If he really could, diviners across Gods Continent might as well pack up and go home.

Moxis carefully studied the phantoms in the crystal ball. Several minutes later, he let go of William's hands, licked his lips, and said, "I don't see anything bad. Smooth sailing. No benefits, but no drawbacks either."

"Can't you change something? Like getting me some benefits?" William asked doubtfully.

"No. I can only tell you whether it is Luck or misfortune. If I say more, it won't work. And with your current strength, don't even think about changing anything." Moxis wound several strands of long hair around his fingers and shook his head from his chair.

"I see!" William nodded without asking further questions, then took five gold coins from his pocket and slapped them onto the table.

Moxis happily pocketed them, stood up, and said to William, "Lord William, you're welcome to visit again!"

"Ahem, Moxis!" William glanced at the black cat whose level he could not discern, carefully picked it up, and placed it on the table before taking the seat himself.

The black cat proactively climbed into Moxis's lap, allowing its owner to vigorously knead its little head.

Only then did Moxis seem to hear William. He asked in confusion, "Does Your Lordship have something else to discuss? I won't go anywhere with you. I can only foresee things and have no combat power whatsoever. I can't even kill a chicken..."

"Moxis with no combat power? The Archmage who can't kill chickens?" William's heart twitched. He organized his words several times before saying, "Ahem, I heard that you seem to possess inherited knowledge regarding Soul Magic?"

Moxis's expression did not change. His face remained blank, as though he did not understand.

William continued, "You know, I'm a Half-Elf. Yet I have so many Pure-Blood Elf guards, which proves that I'm part of the Elven Royal Family..."

Moxis raised a brow at him. "So? Your Highness?"

Bang! William rose to his feet and slammed his palm onto the table, shouting, "Someone told me that you would teach me the best Soul Magic.

Besides, have you forgotten your former promise?

Forgotten what you once agreed to?

Forgotten that someone told you to leave the best Soul Magic for me?"

"(O_O)?" Moxis was genuinely dumbfounded this time.

But William had already extended one hand, as if waiting for him to hand something over.

Moxis twitched his lips. He did not believe William could see through his identity, but he somehow felt that he was being conned. So he asked directly, "Where did Your Highness learn that I possess the inheritance of Soul Magic?"

He was also too embarrassed to get angry at William directly. But what exactly had he promised?

Why did he not know about it...

Though William was scared stiff inside, he continued bluffing. "I think you should know where I got that information, especially why you are here.

Besides, I'm the lord. From now on, this prince will protect your Divination Shop!"

Moxis thought for a moment, as though he had recalled something. He tossed the black cat aside and decisively said, "It's not impossible to give it to you, but you must agree to one condition. Then I'll give you a highly complete inheritance of Soul Magic. Otherwise, a few missing skills or something might happen..."

William stroked his chin. "Tsk, there's a condition? Go ahead and tell me what it is."

"Not for now!" Moxis told him to wait patiently. After returning to his bedroom and making a commotion for a while, he brought out a brand-new magic scroll and placed it on the table.

William glanced at it...

No problem.

This was a Soul Magic inheritance scroll that had just been made.

Its name was Holy Spirit Magic!

It even had the creator's signature...
