Chapter 522: Chapter 522

Arthur's Point of View

Pendragon Estate

Camoa frowned at that as she completely froze. "Who told you about that?" I opened my mouth to respond, but she quickly continued. "Never mind. It doesn't matter. The mind is not always capable of comprehending the possibility of the future, Arthur." She told me in a warning tone. "Several Druids have attempted what you ask, and many times, it has led to the destruction of their home, family, and people." Setting everything down, Camoa reached across the counter and grabbed my hands. "I suggest you-" She stopped once she saw my bored expression. "You're dead set on this, aren't you?"

"I've forsworn alcohol, so future potions are about all I got left right now." I told her plainly.

She sighed and dropped my hands. "I can make the potion, but it will take time. That also means I will need to return to the forest. Why do you even wish to see the future? Is this because of the Priestesses, or is it Lucia?"

My eyes focused on her for a moment before I turned to the more experienced Elf. "She's right. Magic cannot affect what has already passed. It can heal wounds, but it cannot bring people back from the dead. Even the darkest, most vile magic is incapable of such things."

Aydalia Jr. continued for her mother. "Thus, what has passed is unchangeable. The future is malleable, which is why that type of magic has been lost. Not that it matters. No one has the necessary amount of magic to cast such spells anyway." Ayda explained further. "Potions are definitely an option, but as Camoa stated, they come with horrible risks."

"Risks I'm willing to take." I tapped my head. "As long as I got enough energy, my mind is-"

The youngest present interrupted me. "What happens when your energy runs out?" Ayda inquired. "We have seen how you act despite not being exposed to such spells and potions. None of us could manage you. Arthur, you essentially threw a tantrum until you ran out of energy and collapsed." Aydalia looked at her daughter, surprised that she was being so blunt. "Can you say it won't be worse next time if you go through with this?"

"Logical little-" I muttered but stopped myself. "I'm feeling confident. That'll be for me to worry about."

"It will literally be for everyone else to worry about." Ayda quickly replied.

"Don't you have work to do? How's the catalyst coming for the Succubae? Better yet, how's my train?"
