"According to them, the source of this gemstone and harmonizing agent is an overseas island that has only recently established trade relations with the continent of Ar.
The people on the island boarded a strange black sailing ship and landed from the port town of the Kingdom of Kaplan [Dilas] on the west side of the Yare continent, bringing a large amount of the island's specialty resources with them.
The most precious among them are the ‘Heart of Amys’ and the ‘Dust of Amys’
——Yes, it’s this kind of gemstone and harmonic agent, that’s what the people on the island call them.”
After stroking the gem on the solid gold table again, Evan smiled and pushed it towards Anvis.
"You know, Avis, the effect of this gemstone on increasing the speed of mental power can be superimposed with the effect of coffee beans on activating mental power. It feels very good."
"Really?"
As if curious about the effect Evan mentioned, Anvis stretched out his hand and touched the gem with interest.
Then he took another big sip of coffee that glowed with strong green fluorescence, acting unsuspecting.
The thick and fragrant liquid enters the throat, carrying the unique fragrance of magic spores and just the right amount of life radiation.
Under the combined effect of coffee and gemstones, Anvis felt that his mental power had become extremely active.
My mind suddenly felt extremely clear, and my whole body felt as if I was immersed in light and soft clouds. I even had an illusion similar to a mental breakthrough.
"I think you are right, brother Evan, the effect is indeed great."
While slowly tasting the coffee, Avis praised the superimposed effect in Evan's mouth.
"Hahaha, that's right! Ever since I accidentally discovered the combination of gemstones and coffee, I have been obsessed with this wonderful taste——"
Hearing this, Evan also laughed, feeling very satisfied that Anvis agreed with his opinion.
“However, brother Evan, from the west coast of the mainland to here, we have to cross the entire Iter Kingdom Federation.
Since that caravan traveled such a long distance, news of this new variety of gemstones and harmonic blends must have spread along the way, right?"
Putting the bone china coffee cup back on the cup and saucer in his hand, Anvis raised the question again.
Evan nodded and raised a finger.
"That's the point, Anvis! Although the caravan covered a huge distance, the news didn't seem to spread very far.
All the intelligence forces I deployed within the territory of the Yitel Federation have not sent back any information related to this gemstone and the harmonizer.
No one named the newly discovered gem after themselves in the Magic Times——"
As he spoke, Evan raised his eyebrows, spread his hands, and sounded a little contemptuous.
"You know, what those country magicians in the Federation like to do most is this kind of thing."
Then, he threw a piece of color-changing condiment 'sugar cube' into the cup.
At the same time, the coffee in the cup is slowly stirred with magic power, allowing the cup and saucer to float in the air on its own.
"Initially, I also suspected that those aliens were not telling the truth, but after careful questioning, although their explanations were unbelievable, I couldn't find any problems."
"According to the alien caravans, as soon as they left the Port of Delas, they encountered a strange thick fog that suddenly fell on the wild trade road.
When they passed through the fog and walked out from the other side of the thick fog, the surrounding environment had changed drastically.
The original open plain terrain has turned into desolate mountains and virgin forests.
Their location at that time was on the sunny side of a mountain, on a gentle slope covered with wild thistles, bluebells and cattails.
Since they didn't know where they were, the caravan could only temporarily identify its direction and continue moving forward.
And the first city they saw was Fengjin City."
After taking another sip of the coffee that added a strange and magical color, Evan sighed with satisfaction.
"You know, Avis - in our position, no matter what we do, we need to be cautious.
Because you don’t know what things are traps and traps deliberately set by others for you.”
"So, I immediately invited the family's high-level prophet to predict the descriptions of those foreign businessmen and identify the authenticity.
Then he used gems and harmonizing agents as media to predict their true origins and compared them with the claims of those foreign traders."
"The prophecy showed that those merchants were telling the truth, and the source of the gems and harmonics did come from an isolated island overseas.
So, I once again asked the fortune teller to predict the danger of this trip for me.
And whether there is a conspiracy against me personally or against the Olivendi family behind this."
"The result of the second prediction is that this trip will encounter some twists and turns, but there will not be excessive danger.
And, there is no conspiracy behind this——"
"You must know that for this new thing, Avis, relying on past experience alone to make decisions remotely from the rear is not enough -
After all, as the old saying goes, ‘Ideals and reality are always different’, in other words, ‘Details determine success or failure’.”
"Because I couldn't confirm how long it would take for this news to spread, I immediately took the family's ultra-long-distance teleportation array and headed to the secret family branch in the Ittel Federation, which is closest to the west coast of the mainland.
Then we boarded the alchemy levitation boat there and rushed to Dilas."
With that said, Evan drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, then let go of the cup and saucer, letting them disappear on their own.
He took out a new gemstone and held it in his hand. In the clouds of relaxation and comfort, he leaned back comfortably, squinting his eyes and sinking into the sofa.
"But, brother Evan."
Looking at Evan sitting on the sofa with narrowed eyes, Avis also drank up the coffee in one gulp.
Then, like Evan, he let go of the cup and saucer and spoke with a smile.
"I remember that when I was very young, my father once said this to me:
'Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation at any time.'"
"I think this sentence makes sense——"
When he said this, Anvis's eyes were staring at Evan's ice-blue eyes as if unintentionally.
"You're right, dear Avis."
Hearing this, Evan shrugged and smiled humorously.
"But our mother also said: 'In this world that is changing all the time, only by constantly moving forward can you stay where you are.'
Just like the first captain who discovered the Elven Continent, Yuris Blois.
If he had just thought like his subordinates that the detector was malfunctioning instead of checking the detector himself.
Then, the glorious name that will be recorded in history in the future may be replaced by another person’s—”
"So, sometimes, I agree with my mother's point of view more."
