Vilgefortz was an ambitious man. Emhyr was nothing more than a pawn in his hands. He was also very good at disguising himself.
He had learned about Olivia's "genius" from Emhyr. Despite his arrogance, he was still disdainful. He did not sense any powerful bloodline power from Olivia. What was so great about her being a little smarter? In the face of absolute power, all schemes and plots were meaningless. However, in order to continue to deepen the relationship between him and Emhyr, he chose to agree.
Vilgefortz was already powerful enough, but he still pursued power. At the same time, he did not forget to play tricks. This kind of person was terrifying. He always said that conspiracies were meaningless, but in reality, he always had a trump card up his sleeve. If he could, he would.
Emhyr promised that when he became the Emperor of Nilfgaardian and conquered the Northern Realms, he would hand over the entire Northern Realms to Vilgefortz. On the surface, Vilgefortz seemed satisfied with the deal. Emhyr thought that was all he wanted. In reality, he had hidden his true intentions too well.
At that moment, Vilgefortz appeared in the library. He carefully observed the three-year-old Olivia. She was dressed in a gorgeous lace princess dress. Her long, silver-grey hair flowed loosely over her shoulders. She exuded a tranquil aura …
He had to admit that in terms of appearance and temperament, this younger sister of Cirilla, who had not inherited the "Elder Blood", completely outshone Cirilla, who was still an ugly duckling. However, even such a beautiful young girl was just a pretty vase in his eyes. Her value was not even one ten-thousandth of Cirilla's.
At the same time, Vilgefortz wondered if this young girl was really reading, or if she was just putting on an act. He saw that she had finally closed the last page of an encyclopedia about sorcerers, witchers, and other professions. He sneered and casually waved his staff. The encyclopedia gently flew into his hand. This was a very classic spell – the Magician's Hand.
At this moment, Olivia came back to her senses. She used her beautiful emerald eyes to look at the man who had silently appeared in the library. Then, her acting skills burst forth, and her face revealed a look of worship.
If an ordinary man saw such a pure and adorable young girl and revealed an expression of worship that didn't match his age, he would definitely feel a little smug. Then, he would develop a good impression of this young girl who had matured mentally …
Unfortunately, Vilgefortz wasn't an ordinary man. He was essentially a boss villain, but on the surface, he looked like a decent man.
Because this man was exceptionally handsome. He was tall and sturdy, but he was a powerful Source Warlock. His appearance was always maintained at around thirty-five years old. For those women who were obsessed with appearance, he was simply the most perfect fantasy object.
Vilgefortz quickly assumed the role of teacher. He asked harshly, "What's on page thirty-five of this book?"
Even an adult who had just finished reading a book would not be able to answer this question. However, Ermion opened the "Books Bar" in the game system and flipped to page 35 of the book. She "recited" it without missing a single word — —
"There are two kinds of people with magic talent: ordinary magic affinity and source warlocks. The former is easier to learn to manipulate magic and become a warlock. The latter is more like a medium or container for magic. Their magic power is very strong and powerful, but it is difficult to control, let alone use it. They will only unconsciously form a connection with their own magic and expand their own abilities. It is very difficult for such people to learn magic and become a Warlock. They need to go through special guidance and training, but once they succeed, their power will be shocking … "
"The basic principle of casting magic is to draw source power from the four basic elements in nature — water, soil, air, and fire. Then, by concentrating, casting spells, and using hand gestures, these source power are released, and by doing so, you can manipulate natural phenomena. Source warlocks can also sacrifice part of their own life force to replenish source power, but doing so will cause great harm to the body. The source power consumed when casting magic is directly proportional to the magic's effect and power … "
…
The content of this page was undoubtedly about "Source Warlocks" and "magic." From the perspective of web novels, the so-called "Source Warlocks" were the classic useless template. Because they had too much affinity with magic, they couldn't use magic at all at first, but once they did, they were super powerful.
Unfortunately, Olivia was not a source sorcerer. Even her magic affinity was average. It was no wonder that the source sorcerer Vilgefortz regarded her as a worthless passerby.
However, even Lord Wei did not know that Olivia had a game system. As long as she completed her quests, she could use skill points to level up her beginner spells. When the time came, the power of those spells would not be any worse than that of a source warlock!
When Vilgefortz heard Olivia reciting every single page of the book without missing a single word, he was amazed by her intelligence, even though he despised her bloodline!
He did not believe it, so he tested it again …
"The witcher's mudra is a simplified form of magic. Compared to the similar magic used by sorcerers, it is much less powerful. However, it saves on complicated incantations and props. It can be cast with just a gesture. Without the use of potions, the mudra's power is generally pitiful (except for the Griffins who practice mudra for a long time). Witchers need to consume potions regularly to maintain the effect of the mudra. Therefore, witchers are just like sorcerers. They are afraid of witch-hunters who use anti-magic bombs (under the condition that they are outnumbered). "
…
Ermion's "photographic memory" had stunned the arrogant Vilgefortz. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
He did not have the patience to teach a passerby, but since there was still some time before Emhyr returned to Nilfgaard, he might as well teach this ordinary genius.
"Ordinary genius" might sound strange, but it actually made sense. Just like "Miss Zhao Youyue." It might seem contradictory, but it was indeed the case.
Ordinary meant that Olivia's bloodline power was very ordinary. Learning magic would be very strenuous. However, genius meant that she had a brain and a focus on learning …
