Hussein carefully memorized this, then nodded and said, "Very good, I've remembered it. But you also know about my previous background. I haven't published any articles on your side."

Hussein was now extremely embarrassed. He finally understood what it meant to be a formal wizard stumped by a single penny in white wizard society.

Locke thought for a moment, then said to Hussein, "Then I can help you exchange it, which is equivalent to giving you 20 contribution points. But as a condition of the trade, I'd like to learn about some curse magic matters from you, as an expansion of my knowledge."

Hussein breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Of course."

Thus, the two of them each exchanged for the magic books they wanted, and then Locke and Hussein each found an unoccupied seat in the library and sat down.

After the two of them sat down separately, they discovered that as soon as they sat down, desks, sofas, refreshments, flowers, and bookshelves would automatically appear before their eyes.

Even more so, as long as they wanted to read certain books in a particular environment, the scene before their eyes would switch and change.

When Locke wanted to read by the seaside, bright sunshine, azure ocean, and beaches full of beautiful scenery appeared around him.

"Truly worthy of the Visual Desert magic," Locke said, then he focused his attention on the book in his hands.

Why would this central library determine that he needed this book?

Locke flipped through the book and began reading. This was actually a collective investigation of mortal families suspected of having ancient creature bloodlines within 3,251 mortal island worlds affiliated with the overseas territories of the southeastern sea region.

The Endless Mystic Sea was extremely vast. Each mortal island was at least equivalent to a continent from his previous life.

The author of this book had compiled a summary of these mortal islands.

"Even if formal wizards have vast supernatural powers, with so many mortal worlds, how could they possibly investigate them all?" Locke's expression was strange. "This raw data was fundamentally obtained from black wizards."

"I can tell that some investigation methods used archaeological spell models."

Speaking of which, he still hadn't found the First Circle stage archaeologist inheritance.

If he had the chance, he needed to find McCarthy and probe whether he had First Circle level archaeologist inheritance, but honestly, the probability wasn't high.

Moreover, even if he had it, this inheritance knowledge was probably tainted with quite a bit of trouble.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be hiding alone in the Chimera Market.

This knowledge also wasn't being publicly sold, so it was extremely difficult to obtain.

In the wizard world, it wasn't that you could learn whatever you wanted to learn. Knowledge was extremely precious. Knowledge was power.

So it was about learning what you had, what you needed.

Locke flipped through the book and discovered that it actually recorded quite a few special ancient creature bloodlines in the inheritance genealogies of some ancient families in the mortal world. Even those mortal families themselves might not know this anymore. They themselves had already declined, but this book had conducted certain family genealogical investigations.

"Hmm? Mortal world number 111. Inside there's a family called the North Sea Duke family that possesses the bloodline of the ancient ocean creature Crystal Horn Land Whale, but the inheritance is already extremely diluted and can no longer be extracted."

Locke nodded. He looked at this family's inheritance system. It was because their ancestor married a mermaid princess with a diluted Crystal Horn Land Whale bloodline that they possessed this diluted bloodline.

This was even more diluted than the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline in the beastman royal cat empress's body. Even if this family's people were given to him, he couldn't use their blood for specific extraction.

These bloodlines were already so diluted that they could only indicate they once had this bloodline inheritance. Currently, they were no different from ordinary people.

Locke continued reading. "In mortal world number 154, there's a royal family called the Rodriguez family. They possess the bloodline inheritance of the Snake Scale Beast. Their ancestors are suspected to have drunk the blood of a modern magical creature called the Kungu Beast, which possessed the ancient creature Snake Scale Beast bloodline in ancient times."

Locke continued reading through more. The families mentioned in these articles actually had bloodlines diluted to almost nothing, so they fundamentally couldn't be used.

But thinking about it carefully made sense. If they could be used, why would people write about them in books and let others know? They could just go directly and extract those families' bloodlines to obtain the ancient magical creature bloodlines from their bodies.

Through reading this book, Locke also discovered that the royal nobles in the mortal worlds basically had ancestors who had some relationship with supernatural beings.

Thinking about it carefully, this was normal. If their ancestors were children of some wizard, or descendants of some powerful magical creature, then their physical qualities were naturally stronger than others. Therefore, in the secular world, they would more easily occupy some prominent positions.

Of course, many families in the book had already declined. There were even quite a few families who thought they would be commoners for life, but this book's author had directly sorted out their noble ancestral lineages completely.

"At least the other party's knowledge in bloodline studies is profound and has opened my eyes considerably," Locke read with great interest. This book wrote in detail about how the author investigated and gathered evidence, so he could learn quite a bit from it.

Catching a glimpse into the knowledge domain of First Circle archaeologists.

"Wait a moment." Locke had already reached the last part of this book. His expression was strange. "I'm actually eating melon about myself." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Did the author of this book ever think that after writing about so many families, one of these families' descendants would become a formal wizard and enter the White Wizard Association's public library to access his book?"

Probably not. After all, this probability was really too low.

Everything in the mortal world was extremely distant from the wizard world, like heaven and earth.

Locke looked at the content in the book. His gaze gradually became serious. "I seem to have always been wrong about one direction. The ancient creature bloodline in my body that causes me to have the secondary affinity attribute of golden elemental particles was very likely not brought by the female side, but by the male side."

"Moreover, I finally understand what kind of bloodline that is."

He looked at the book. On it was written, "Island number 31, Augustine Earl family. According to investigation, they possess the middle-upper rank ancient creature bloodline [Golden Twin-Headed Dragon Bloodline]."

"It's suspected that their ancestor had contact with a maiden that a giant dragon transformed into using transformation magic. But this branch of the Augustine family is only a branch of a branch. The original main branch of the Augustine family seemed to have attracted the attention of forces from outside the southeastern sea region and the entire family suffered mysterious slaughter."

"None survived."

"Currently, this branch of the Augustine family's ancient creature bloodline is diluted and can be considered equivalent to none."

Locke tapped the table with his finger. "So, the true purpose of that witch mother was to covet the Augustine family's ancient dragon bloodline?"

Locke revealed a thoughtful expression. "It seems the events of that year weren't so simple. Mother didn't tell Father the truth."

"Was she really being hunted back then?"

"If her goal was to obtain the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon bloodline, or to obtain a daughter with the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon bloodline and witch aptitude, then she should possess a powerful technique that can purify ancient creature bloodlines. This technique even far exceeds my current imagination."

"But there's still one question. If the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon bloodline in my body is really diluted to the point where it can be considered nonexistent, then why is the bloodline in my body currently being continuously activated, and even showing signs of intensifying and continuously accelerating its formation?"

"Now that I've figured out its specific source, I can more easily accelerate its formation."

Locke could feel that as he became a First Circle wizard, that mysterious bloodline within his body had become even stronger.
