The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 105 You've Read a Lot of Books

"You've read more books? Since you haven't read that forbidden book, how could you possibly know how to break these forbidden spells?" Heledi seemed to have been hit where it hurt—before obtaining that ancient magic book, his written test scores had always been quite poor.

“It’s very simple, just look through the notes left by those who came before,” Borest said—quoting his father’s words in his notebook.

"Many of the books left by our predecessors contained those that could break forbidden spells. Although they have been lost, the spells that could break forbidden spells are still being used in various spells to create spells that can weaken the power of forbidden spells."

"So, even if those books that can directly resolve forbidden spells have been lost, as long as we find those spells that can weaken forbidden spells, find their commonalities, and then conduct countless experiments, we can find a way to resolve forbidden spells," Borist said calmly, his mind involuntarily recalling his father sitting at his desk resolving spells and his mother researching potions beside him.

The parents died too suddenly. The mother left behind only a basement that was not easily discovered, while the father left behind only thousands of notebooks, drafts and nearly worn-out books piled up in the basement.

While no one was watching him, Borest took everything he could carry and hid it in his room.

Since his parents died, Borest has been studying those books diligently. Now he is quite adept at using which forbidden spells to counter which spells, and he can even innovate based on his own understanding.

Heledi knew that Borist wouldn't be afraid of forbidden techniques anymore. He had originally wanted to try to harm the two girls, but Borist protected them very well.

Moreover, Heledi looked at Olivia and Carola, who were hiding behind Borist like two little chicks. Given how much Borist valued his two sisters, if he were to actually do anything to these two girls, Borist would probably just scatter my soul throughout the world.

Borest sensed that Heledi might target his two sisters, but he couldn't be with them all the time. To ensure their safety, Borest decided to discuss the matter with Heledi.

“Listen, I have no interest in fighting you. What exactly do you want?” Borist said, his mind racing as he considered the spell to break the barrier. “If you tell me, perhaps we can reach an agreement.”

"Is that so?" Heledi snorted, put away her wand, and slowly walked to the stream. "I want you to give me all the spells, magic circles, and potion recipes you have created, and you are not allowed to tell anyone that you created them."

Lu Renkui listened and felt the name sounded familiar: "This is..."

"He wants to claim all of Borest's honors for himself so he won't have to worry about being overshadowed by Borest," said System WQBYRZM while eating sunflower seeds.

"Does the main system only send us novels with protagonists who have low morals? The protagonists in three consecutive worlds are mostly like this." Lu Renkui felt a headache coming on just thinking about how the protagonists in the future might all be like this.

"It's randomly assigned, but don't worry, the main system thought our task completion was too miraculous. So it decided that after we finish this task, we can choose our own next world." System WQBYRZM stuffed another handful of sunflower seeds into its mouth.

"Oh, okay, let's go for one where the main character is a girl first. After several worlds, the main characters have all been male. I'm starting to wonder if I'm cursed to have male main characters—why are you eating sunflower seeds again?"

"Ah, where? You've mistaken me." System WQBYRZM quickly put away the sunflower seeds.

Borist was puzzled by what Heledi said. He was a student about the same age as Heledi, and Borist wanted him to write down all the spells, potions, and magic circles that he hadn't fully figured out yet, and he couldn't tell anyone that he was the author.

However, it wasn't a big deal. After thinking for a while, Borist said, "I haven't finished researching those things yet. I'll send you a copy after I've organized them."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

“Two years, I’ll hand it over to you when you graduate,” Borest replied.

“If there’s nothing else, I think we should head back.” With that, Borest waved his wand, dispelling the barrier that Heledi had erected.

Hu Xiaohai waited anxiously outside the barrier, and breathed a sigh of relief when the barrier disappeared.

Seeing that it was Borest who broke the barrier, Hu Xiaohai was even more relieved.

Heledi looked at Borist with even greater vigilance.

Just then, a carriage slowly drove up from a distance.

Then the carriage stopped, and Haikal's parents, Sam and Catherine, got out.

"Oh, darling." Catherine went straight to "Heikal" as soon as she got out of the car, cupped "Heikal's" face and examined him carefully, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Mother." Hu Xiaohai dutifully portrayed Haikar's sickly appearance, even coughing slightly twice.

"Why did you go out without any servants?" Catherine scolded.

“Mother, I finally managed to get out and have some fun with my friends, so I don’t want the servants to bother us.”

“Friends? Oh! You’ve made friends!” Catherine’s expression softened slightly, but she still scolded, “You should bring one or two servants to make sure you take your medicine on time, my dear.”

"You just texted me saying there was an emergency, what happened?" Sam asked.

"Ah, that's how it is. My brother suddenly cast a barrier, trapping him and Borist together." Hu Xiaohai said, turning his head towards Heledi.

Borist and his two sisters bowed to Sam and Catherine, while Heledy respectfully addressed Sam as "Father."

"What's going on?" Sam asked Heledi.

“It’s nothing, Father. I was just sparring with Borist,” Heledi said with a smile. “But it looks like I scared my brother.”

Hu Xiaohai didn't use Haikar's face to make an expression, but mentally he gave Haikar the middle finger—if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't be out of character right now, and that the original owner was related to Hailaidi, he would have cursed Hailaidi's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Sam didn't answer, but looked at Borest instead.

Borest said, "Yes, we were just having a normal sparring match."

“That’s really troublesome for you, young Master Boriste Flor.” Sam took off his hat and said, “My son is naughty and has caused you trouble.”

After bowing again, Borest stood up and said, "No need, it is my honor that your child thinks highly of me."

“Then we’ll head back first,” Sam said, beckoning Heledi and Heikal to get into the carriage. At the same time, he instructed the coachman of the other carriage to take Borest and his two sisters back to Flor Castle.

On the way back in the carriage, Hu Xiaohai felt that Sam's attitude towards Borist was a bit strange: "Sam seemed to have a lot of respect for Borist."

System 4352 popped up at this moment, answering Hu Xiaohai's question: "Borist's father, Bryce Flor, was the most outstanding magician of Sam's generation. Like the future Borist, his talent and character were unmatched among his peers."

"But because of his contempt for the gods, he and his wife were burned to death by the gods in the carriage—this is questionable—but Bryce's influence was still widespread, so even if people ridiculed Bryce for his contempt for the gods, they could not deny his contributions, which is one of the reasons why they still respected the Flor family."

“I remember Borist was doing pretty badly in the Flor family. Since he’s Bryce’s biological child, his status should be a little higher, right?” Hu Xiaohai asked.

"Their explanation was that Borist and his family share some of the same blood as other members of the family, so no matter how badly they treated Borist, it was a family matter."

"Also, don't forget that they will treat the Flor family with respect. Besides the influence of Bryce, it's more because the Flor family is an ancient family. It only declined because they ran out of money."

"Moreover, Borist also carries the identity of the child of a person who despises God. This means he is destined to have a very difficult time in this religiously ruled society." System 4352 opened the tablet and said while reading the original plot, "The reason why he and his two sisters were not burned at the stake after the Bryce couple died is largely because when they were being pushed onto the stake and the fire was about to reach them, a dark cloud suddenly gathered and quickly rained down, extinguishing all the fire."

"People say that the gods were soft-hearted and let the three of them off for the time being."

"One theory is that the punishment that the gods inflicted on their parents was not fully endured by them. Therefore, the children should die at the same age and in the same manner as their parents to complete the punishment that the gods had given them."

“But no matter which version you put it, it’s hard to accept,” Hu Xiaohai said. “They can’t escape the identity of sinners imposed upon them.”

"Will you feel sad because of this?" Lu Renkui asked.

“I was sad at first, but I got used to it later,” Borest replied in the consciousness space.
