Mage Manual

Ash’s second son... Everyone gave Siflin a slightly surprised look. It didn’t really mean anything, but it still made people feel like Siflin seemed quite favored by Ash.

But it was this bit of future message that made Vishi and Dazzling Star look at Siflin a couple more times. So not everyone who knows Ash likes him, huh.

The copper plate book floated to No. 8, Hanna. Hanna touched her Purple Crystal Stone earrings and leisurely flipped open the copper plate book:

"[Name] Hanna Doran"

"[Gender] Female"

"[Birthday] 2.28"

"[Guardian Spirit] Purple-Grudge Hidden Concubine Dragon"

"[Rank] Six-winged God"

"[Core Faction] gun technique, soul"

"[Core Divine Being] Six-winged Divine Bullet Curtain"

"[Spouse] Ash Heath"

"[Children] Ash’s ninth son, Ifrit; Ash’s eleventh son, Livia"

"[Future Message] Freyja will make Ash start a harem."

Hanna raised her head and exchanged a look with Freyja. The two lifted their palms and high-fived across Siflin. There was no doubt Hanna’s vote would be hung on Freyja.

The copper plate book came to No. 9, Tamasi. Her expression looked quite confused, as if asking "Why am I here?", and she blankly opened the copper plate book:

"[Name] Tamasi Ya Sha Jin"

"[Gender] Female"

"[Birthday] 4.4"

"[Guardian Spirit] Judgement Crow-Dance Dragon"

"[Rank] Six-winged God"

"[Core Faction] Fist Claw, dream"

"[Core Divine Being] Six-winged Divine Death Notice, Six-winged Divine Judgement"

"[Spouse] Ash Heath"

"[Children] Ash’s twelfth daughter, Garuda"

"[Future Message] None. Follow your heart."

Tamasi tilted her head, seemingly unable to quite understand what this information meant to her. Spouse, children, future... these Concepts were far too unfamiliar to the Senluoians.

The copper plate book came to the last person, No. 10, Felix. Felix glanced around at everyone, looking completely unwilling as she flipped it open.

"[Name] Felix Vosloda"

"[Gender] Female"

"[Birthday] 1.21"

"[Guardian Spirit] Moon-Swift Storm-Underworld Dragon"

"[Rank] Six-winged God"

"[Core Faction] Wind Skill, Space"

"[Core Divine Being] Six-winged Divine Outer Space"

"[Spouse] Ash Heath"

"[Children] Ash’s tenth daughter, Shiva; Ash’s fourteenth daughter, Hydaelyn"

"[Future Message] You actually don’t need to be that scared... but I get you. You don’t have to accept it."

Once Felix finished her introduction, the copper plate book returned to the center of the round table, at a spot none of them could reach. A moment later, Diya tested the waters with a soft "hey", and only then did everyone realize they could now speak freely.

Yet even though they’d clearly had a lot they’d wanted to say a moment ago, now that they could actually talk, everyone suddenly found themselves somewhat at a loss for words.

After a brief silence, Siflin suddenly said, "My vote will go to Freyja. Just like Hanna’s future message says, Freyja likes Ash so much she’ll spoil him unconditionally, so Freyja will definitely help Ash open a harem."

"Since the future me said so, then I’ll just obediently listen." Hanna propped her cheek on her hand and drawled, "My vote goes to Freyja too."

"Vishi, Felix," Dazzling Star said, "if you don’t want to be forced to accept the Fate of becoming someone else’s harem member, then cast your vote for me. In return, I’ll make sure to help you both ascend to Six-winged God."

"You can vote for me too!" Vishi immediately said. "I’ll be a Seven-winged Supreme in the future—"

"First, no one is going to vote for you based on your credibility." Dazzling Star said. "Second, you went on to give Ash four children. I strongly suspect that once you get your future memories, you’ll be just like that Miss Freyja over there and unconditionally indulge Ash’s every request."

Vishi’s face went red, then white. No matter how many oaths she swore or promises she made, in the face of hard evidence like "four children," any explanation she could offer seemed pale and powerless.

Dazzling Star’s words also laid bare the most dangerous aspect of "Future Echo" — it lets the target gain their future memories! In other words, even if they don’t like Ash right now, after they get their future memories, they might fall madly in love with him, unable to extricate themselves!

Felix’s disgust toward Ash had just been written all over her face. Dazzling Star didn’t even need to use any of a Divine Lord’s authority; she easily secured Felix’s vote.

Then Dazzling Star looked at Tamasi, who immediately shook her head. "I won’t help Ash’s enemies."

Even when facing a Six-winged God, the Black Crow’s pride didn’t fade in the slightest.

"Then Black Crow, cast your vote for me." Sonia called out to Black Crow, smiling. "I’m the one Ash likes the most, so I’ll definitely help Ash get out of this mess."

"Why not me?" Diya asked. "I can do it too! And the future me even said we absolutely can’t let you—"

Beep!

Sonia tapped "1" on the numeric keypad and hit confirm, saying calmly, "Because I already voted for myself. Right now, Freyja has 3 votes and Dazzling Star has 3 votes. If you don’t vote for me, you’ll just have to sit back and watch them get the Future Echo."

Diya and Weiser hadn’t expected Sonia to play dirty like this. Diya looked at Ash with a "hurry up and do something about her" expression, but Ash spread his hands to show he was helpless. Don’t be fooled by how Sonia often throws little tantrums; most of the time she’s just using them as a roundabout way to act spoiled with Ash. When it comes to actual decisions, it’s basically always Sonia who compromises with Ash. So once Sonia really starts acting unreasonable, in every sense, there’s nothing Ash can do to stop her.
