Chapter 207: I Know Nothing About the Book of Wisdom

Using the excuse that the wizards invading wanted information about the Book of Wisdom, he sent away the Senior Temple Knight.

Little Will apologized to him for causing trouble by leaving the city, making the Senior Temple Knight very flustered and unsure how to respond.

However, he gained a bit more respect for this Honorary Temple Knight.

He was famous at a young age yet not arrogant, a pity he wasn’t a true Temple Knight.

Returning to the manor, he was questioned by his mother, Marjorie.

Little Will could only answer ‘truthfully’.

The suspicion of him possessing the Book of Wisdom still hadn’t been cleared, and it seemed that as his strength grew, those who doubted him were preparing to test him.

Hearing this, Marjorie was startled.

This was no laughing matter; wizards could be terrifying when they went mad.

Now, with her father, Wizard Stardashan, away with the army, there was no one in charge at home, yet she had brought her children outside the city.

Wasn’t this a bit reckless?

Little Will was just a child and didn’t understand, but what about herself?

She had given birth to two children, yet still maintained the nature of a young girl.

Was this really good?

In that instant, Marjorie seemed to mature a bit.

She immediately decided to take Little Will, Little Via, and Little Leia back to the city.

Although staying in the manor outside the city was comfortable, being far from the church and people made it vulnerable to invasion.

This time, the intruders were not strong, not official wizards, and were repelled.

But what if an official wizard came next time?

Little Will was very annoyed right now.

His strength was still too weak, but what if he were stronger?

It would only attract more attention from others, telling them there was a way to quickly increase strength, inviting them to steal it?

Being famous at a young age was also a big problem.

Marjorie was uneasy on the way back to the city, and Little Will was also heavy-hearted.

Only Little Via, carefree, was playing with Leia.

However, the journey was uneventful; nothing happened.

Upon returning home, Marjorie finally breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Little Will into the house for an hour-long safety awareness training before finally letting him go.

However, Little Will also made it clear to his mother that if he kept hiding at home, it would only make him seem more guilty.

Most people knew he didn’t have the Book of Wisdom; only a small group of jealous fools, who believed Little Will couldn’t have achieved such success through his own efforts and were blinded by jealousy, would relentlessly pursue him.

And such people were few and not very strong.

Hiding at home would only make things more dangerous; it was better to be open and do what he needed to do.

Marjorie agreed, and she had great confidence in her father’s astrology.

Since her father said Little Will was safe, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Wait, her father seemed to have mentioned that Little Will would encounter ‘female trouble’ recently.

Could this be part of it?

To make the family safer, after comforting his sister and Leia, Little Will immediately disguised himself and rushed to the House of All Things.

Marjorie had forgotten to ask if the invading wizard was female.

What exactly did father mean by ‘female trouble’?

Was Leia considered his son’s ‘female trouble’?

It didn’t seem likely, though she did successfully distract her father and husband from her son.

And what about that little Loli?

That shouldn’t count.

Although she was said to like clinging to her son, it felt more like a family bond, as if Little Will had gained a little sister.

And then?

Little Will must be hiding something else from her.

Her father’s divination couldn’t be that simple, and his divinations usually concerned recent or imminent events, not typically long-term.

This so-called ‘female trouble’ must have already happened or was showing signs.

Soon after Little Will left, a young couple moved into the master bedroom of the manor, appearing there without alarming anyone.

“Hubby, is it really okay for our precious daughter to follow that brat?” a young woman with waist-length silver hair, a curvaceous and alluring figure, and a faint air of dignity on her face asked.

She looked to be in her early twenties but was already a mother, with a slight look of worry on her face.

“What could be the problem?”

A tall, slender young man with black hair and a gentle smile shook his head lightly, pulling his wife into his arms and softly saying, “Don’t you know Ya Mei’s personality?

Though a bit willful, she’s very kind.

She won’t cause too much trouble for that boy.

As long as he treats our daughter well, we’ll take care of any problems around him.”

His calm tone held an unquestionable composure and confidence.

The young woman rolled her eyes at him.

“It’s precisely because Ya Mei is too kind that she’ll be tricked by that brat.

What I’m worried about is that she’s too naive, and you’ve met that sly boy.

He’s definitely not an easy character to deal with; though not strong in power, his mind is certainly not bad.”

“Heh heh,” a faint smile appeared on the black-haired young man’s chiseled face.

“Actually, Ya Mei’s personality can be described in reverse too.

While very kind, she’s also a bit willful.

If things don’t go her way, she’ll make a fuss.

With us around, are you afraid anyone can harm her?”

“Ya Mei’s personality is just like yours.

You caused such a ruckus on Silver Dragon Island that I had to apologize many times.

Now she’s even left Silver Dragon Island.

If things really get out of hand, let’s see how you’ll clean up the mess.”

The silver-haired beauty chided him, making the black-haired man grimace.

“My daughter takes after me, huh?”

“You think I don’t know?

When you were little, you were a lawless terror.

The entire Silver Dragon Island not being turned upside down was only because my father-in-law and mother-in-law were capable enough to keep you in check, wasn’t it?”

“My dear, a long time ago I heard that the Classical School had a very, very powerful Book of Wisdom that could enlighten one’s wisdom, but no outsider had ever obtained it.

Everyone who had seen the Book of Wisdom remained silent about it.

Is that book really that amazing?”

As a pure-blooded dragon, the silver-haired beauty had a very long lifespan, and increasing her strength was easy—just spend a lot of time.

She usually rarely cultivated, being lazy whenever possible, completely unlike her diligent husband.

“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

The black-haired man’s words earned him a playful glare from his wife, but she knew her husband never joked, so she honestly said, “I want to hear both the truth and a lie.”

“The lie is that I once saw the Book of Wisdom.

It was an indestructible boulder, carved with thirty-six basic runes, each over a zhang in diameter, exquisitely detailed.

And below the thirty-six basic runes, there was a line of large characters.”

The black-haired man paused here deliberately.

The silver-haired woman knew the latter part was the key and that her husband was deliberately teasing her, but she couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of large characters?”

“‘Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles; traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as meeting countless people; meeting countless people is not as good as having a famous teacher guide you; having a famous teacher guide you is not as good as realizing it yourself.'”

The black-haired man’s voice seemed somewhat ethereal.

The silver-haired woman listened, slightly dazed, and after a moment, she came back to her senses.

“This seems to be the direction of cultivation at different stages.

If one reaches the end, that would be the realm of a demigod or even beyond.

This indeed can only be comprehended by oneself; when others say it, it seems somewhat hollow.

So, what’s the truth?”

“The truth is, I know nothing about the Book of Wisdom, not even whether it truly exists or not.”

At this point, the black-haired man seemed a little lost in thought.

“Actually, I once asked my father this question.

As the most famous great sage on the continent for two hundred years, a transcendent being who could freely enter and exit Dragon Island, Elf Island, the Beast God Temple, and the headquarters of the Classical School, many people said my father controlled the Book of Wisdom and was the embodiment of wisdom.

When I asked about the Book of Wisdom, my father’s expression was a little strange.

He said that books record knowledge, and knowledge is not equal to wisdom, so books that record knowledge can be found, but books that record wisdom do not exist.”

“So the Book of Wisdom doesn’t exist at all?”

The silver-haired beauty suddenly understood what those people meant by remaining silent about the Book of Wisdom—because they couldn’t say anything.

No matter who first spoke the phrase ‘Book of Wisdom,’ the people of the Classical School seemingly never acknowledged it, nor could they deny it, because if they denied it, no one would believe them.

From some unknown point, this topic became increasingly sensitive, so those who knew the truth remained silent.

And to make the Book of Wisdom live up to its name, or rather, to deal with the increasing number of powerful individuals seeking it, the Classical School had to create a fake that could pass for the real thing—that was the Book of Wisdom her husband had just described seeing.

Compared to the first answer, the silver-haired beauty believed the second more, because so-called wisdom cannot be recorded in books.

The Dragon God seemed to have said this as well.

As a princess of the Silver Dragon clan, an adult dragon, she had her own wisdom and judgment.

In fact, extraordinary beings who reached a certain level of cultivation vaguely had this feeling.

Only those who hadn’t reached that level and harbored fantasies, the half-baked ones, would believe such deceptive talk about the Book of Wisdom.

The Book of Wisdom does not exist, but people who impart wisdom do exist.

This was the latter part of her father’s sentence, but she didn’t quite understand who her father was referring to.

Was it the person who taught her father, or was her father referring to himself?

After all, her father imparted knowledge, inspiring others to learn to think and judge, which was also spreading wisdom, wasn’t it?

But he vaguely felt that his father was hiding something, and his father also seemed to have his own small circle, a higher-level circle that even his own son didn’t know about.

When his father initially promised to pass the Book of Wisdom to his daughter, he was very surprised, but later, as his father frequently went out, it came to nothing.

But who would have thought that his daughter would take it seriously, and as soon as she turned eighteen, she eagerly ran out to find her grandfather to demand the Book of Wisdom?

Moreover, what was even more ridiculous was that she so easily believed the rumors from outside and concluded that the young boy had obtained the Book of Wisdom.

Thinking of this, the black-haired man couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Not just his daughter, but some other fools also thought so.

The more one knows, the more one realizes one’s ignorance.

Wisdom is a good thing, but unfortunately, only those with brains are qualified to possess wisdom; brainless fools deserve to never gain wisdom in their lives.

Thinking of the two Level 3 Wizard Apprentices and one official wizard he had personally dealt with, the black-haired man felt his father was also someone who only cared about killing but not burying.

After using his students, he ran off without a word, and the aftermath was handled too crudely.

A simple statement plus a wizard’s ruin was all there was to it.

Didn’t his old man know that there were many people in this world who liked to take shortcuts?
