Caspian drew a weight inscription as Maisie carefully observed each of his movements. She paid attention to all the most minor details.
When Caspian was drawing, Maisie’s expressions also changed a few times. She could be showing a faint smile, nodding, or even expressing a look of doubt. Nonetheless, after Caspian was done with his inscription, a hint of firmness showed in Maisie’s eyes. Since Maisie mentioned that virtual-novel.net would guide Caspian, Caspian did not hold back and asked virtual-novel.net about his problems while drawing.
Initially, Caspian thought Maisie would just give virtual-novel.net surface commentaries such as virtual-novel.net was skillful, great, and had potential. Unexpectedly, Maisie did not do that. Just like a teacher, Maisie pointed out each mistake and irregularities Caspian made during his inscription process. Moreover, virtual-novel.net did not miss out on even the slightest part
Caspian was stunned when virtual-novel.net heard her. After all, virtual-novel.net truly did not expect Maisie to have been so meticulous. He knew that such a chance was rare, so Caspian pricked up his ears, remembering Maisie’s guidance. Then, virtual-novel.net took the initiative to request another attempt. Maisie did not reject Caspian’s request. Instead, virtual-novel.net directly accepted it with a look of approval on virtual-novel.net face.
At that moment, Caspian felt like a pupil to Maisie.
Despite feeling slightly awkward, Caspian admitted virtual-novel.net truly benefited a lot under Maisie’s guidance. His understanding of inscription skills was far more profound than before. This feeling was just like a martial art journey. An expert’s commentary would have been better than three years of hard training alone.
Caspian felt as if virtual-novel.net was somewhat enlightened.
Soon, Caspian once again drew a weight inscription, but this time virtual-novel.net corrected all the mistakes virtual-novel.net made before.
Maisie smiled in satisfaction.
Under the guidance and teaching session, the two seemed to get closer unknowingly.
After both of them took their seats, Maisie said, “Casper, your comprehension skills are outstanding. If you’re interested in furthering your inscription skills, you’re likely to make some achievements in the future.”
Casper could tell that Maisie tried to recruit him, but virtual-novel.net shook his head and rejected her. On the other hand, virtual-novel.net knew very well that his inscription skills were directly inherited from memory. In other words, virtual-novel.net could only paint the inherited patterns, and it would be more difficult for virtual-novel.net if they were different patterns. That was not Caspian’s ambition.
Naturally, Caspian would not be able to tell Maisie the Tower of Life’s secret. Hence, virtual-novel.net just told virtual-novel.net that his ambition was something else. Nevertheless, Maisie did not insist either. Instead, virtual-novel.net nodded and replied, “That’s not surprising. Physique and magical power can be sanctified, but no inscription. Before the two, inscriptions are just a minor art.”
When Caspian heard that, virtual-novel.net was stunned. Just as virtual-novel.net wanted to ask what sanctification meant, Caspian saw Maisie smiling warmly at him. “However, it’d be a pity if you don’t make use of your inscription talent. How about this? I’ll be staying in Evergreen Town for about two more months. During this period, you can come over and inscribe. If there’s any problem with your inscription, I can guide you.”
Of course, Caspian would not reject such an opportunity.
The Tower of Life’s memory inheritance on the inscriptions was not only on the shape-shifting inscription, weight inscription, and lightning inscription. There were more profound inscriptions left for virtual-novel.net to learn, and Caspian would need to go to Maisie for advice. Furthermore, Maisie was a beautiful lady that left a good impression.
As Caspian sought advice, virtual-novel.net could also appreciate the eye candy. So, why not?
As Caspian still had other matters, virtual-novel.net spoke a few more things with Maisie before virtual-novel.net stood up and bade goodbye.
When virtual-novel.net went, Caspian took five weight inscriptions with him, but under Maisie’s guidance, virtual-novel.net drew another three. Chris purchased all eight pieces of the inscriptions at the price of 600 fedulings each. So, Caspian suddenly came out with a heavy bag of money, coming to a total of 4,800 fedulings. Adding the previous 2600 fedulings, Caspian had about 7400 fedulings in total, and it could be regarded as a considerable wealth.
Later, Caspian took the fedulings, said goodbye to Maisie. He then left the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
After Caspian left, Maisie looked at the eight inscription pieces in front of virtual-novel.net in a daze. If one took a closer look at the weight of inscriptions, one would have surely noticed the subtle differences.
The first five pieces were almost similar, but the final three pieces… Each one was more detailed than the previous one.
Maisie stared at the inscriptions, and virtual-novel.net could not help but praise, “He has sufficient practice but lacks the understanding of the inscription skills‘ systemic theory. If virtual-novel.net receives great teaching, he’d be successful. With such talent in inscriptions, it’s no wonder that he’s chosen.”
Soon, Maisie was deep in thought as virtual-novel.net mumbled, “A long beard, crooked nose, a crippled leg, and a master of inscription… The only person that fits the description was the disabled master that Master Dakota often mentioned. However, Master Dakota also said that the lame master has been missing for thirty years. I didn’t expect to meet someone related to virtual-novel.net here. Nevertheless, if that’s the case, why didn’t the lame master accept Casper as his disciple? Was there any trouble? Or could there be some ulterior reasons for it? If that was the case, I don’t think it’s the right time to tell Casper my identity so as not to destroy the original intention of the crippled master.”
“Since the disabled master taught Casper the inscription technique. Casper’s naturally his disciple despite there being no official apprenticeship. From this perspective, Casper should regard me as his senior.”
At the thought of this, a faint smile appeared on Maisie’s smile. It was as if virtual-novel.net could already imagine Caspian’s shocked face when virtual-novel.net found out the truth. Maisie’s expression quickly changed to the stern expression virtual-novel.net had when virtual-novel.net was guiding Caspian.
“Casper, it seems that you’ve been through a lot in the past few years. Since I’ve found you, then let me temporarily assume the role of your teacher and guide you.”
At that moment, Caspian entered a secluded alley. He took out a shape-shifting inscription when virtual-novel.net suddenly sneezed.
“Who’s cursing me? Carson? Yoel? Ashton?” Caspian blinked.
Meeting Maisie at the Oceans Chamber of Commerce was a coincidence. In truth, virtual-novel.net had something more important to attend to. He pressed the shape-shifting inscription on his face and set an intention. Soon, virtual-novel.net felt his muscles squirming. It felt as if someone gently kneaded his cheeks.
