Chapter 148: The Possibility of Destiny

 However, facing the strange silver key in the Duke's hand, the "Old Mysteries" did not show any changes.

Anvis looked at the Duke with a searching look in his eyes, as if he wanted to know what this meant.

Duke Carlot's expression remained normal. He took a few steps forward and raised the key in his hand.

The strange aura that was still flowing out from the key body enveloped the thick book with words staring at him like living creatures.

In this aura, Anvis could not tell what specific changes had taken place in the "Secret Book of the Old Ones".

But he always had a strange feeling. The amorphous darkness on the cover seemed to have become much deeper in an instant.

Even though its previous color was already pure pitch black——

"That's it—"

Seeing this, Duke Carrot nodded to Anvis, took the key again and returned to its original place.

Then, at the position where the key had just been suspended, he repeated the action of releasing the key.

This time, the key changes are exactly the opposite from last time.

As if time was suddenly accelerated, the bright silvery luster on the surface of the key dimmed visibly to the naked eye.

The gray-black color, like an oxide film, re-covers the surface of the elegant silver vines, restoring its matte texture.

After the key was completely restored, Duke Carrot took it off again and placed it on the table.

"Wonder what I did?"

Looking at Anvis' curious eyes, the Duke smiled slightly.

"That's an insurance policy—"

"After obtaining this key, the family has been studying it, trying to analyze the nature and origin of the key's power, and whether it can be used to go further and break through the legendary chasm.

Although little progress has been made, in the course of our research we have discovered some ways of borrowing the power of the key.

For example, like just now——"

Speaking, Duke Carlot waved his hand.

Following his movements, the stars that filled the sky with faint blue light suddenly appeared in the mid-air of the study.

Through the gaps between countless stars, Avis could see.

In the center of the star cluster, there is an exceptionally bright star point.

"Although I can't be sure whether there is an arrangement by some strong person behind your book.

However, even a true ninth-level prophet will definitely..."

Having said this, the Duke suddenly hesitated.

"...There is a high probability that the power of the 'key' cannot be predicted."

"However, it doesn't matter whether it was predicted or not.

Because of the power of the key, it can give your book unlimited ‘possibilities’!”

"Father, what exactly does 'possibility' mean?"

Anvis had some difficulty understanding the Duke's explanation.

“What does possibility mean?”

The Duke smiled and raised his hand to gesture to the star clusters in the sky.

"See this star? We assume this is the starting point of destiny, the moment you get the book.

If there really is some kind of arrangement, then at that moment, the future results are already determined."

Following the Duke's words, a blood-red star point suddenly lit up on the outer side of the star cluster in mid-air.

"Assuming this is what the man who manipulates fate wants, the outcome is destined to happen.

Then, under normal circumstances, no matter what choice you make in the future.

The arranged destiny will guide you step by step towards the only ending——"

When the Duke finished speaking, a thick mist suddenly appeared in the star cluster in mid-air, covering most of the star points.

In Avis's gaze, only a few stars were still shining.

Then, the bright star in the center extended several bright lines of starlight to connect with those stars that were still bright.

But connecting again and again to the end, no matter how they were connected before, all the lines pointed to the bloody star!

"And possibility is a special variable——"

Duke Carrot waved his hand and eliminated all the starlight threads, returning to the state before the connection.

But this time, a silvery white color lingered on the main star in the center.

Then, the star once again extended a silvery line, connecting the stars closest to it.

Unlike before, when the connection was completed this time, the silver light suddenly lit up.

Affected by this, several star points closest to these stars were obscured in the fog.

The fog on its surface suddenly shattered and disappeared, revealing the starlight below again.

The next moment, as the starlight lines connected these stars again, more stars hidden by the fog lit up.

This connection leads to the end, except for a few lines that still lead to the bloody star.

Most of the other lines are scattered into the endless distance——

"Did you see it? Those dim stars are equivalent to the choices you will face in the future.

The function of possibility is to make more originally hidden choices appear—"

Having said this, the Duke clapped his hands, the stars disappeared again, and the study returned to its original state.

"do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand, father -"

Anvis nodded understandingly, and as a prophet himself, Anvis immediately understood what the Duke meant.

"Possibilities are additional variables of fate.

When there are enough options to choose from, the development of your destiny becomes more and more in your own hands.

Thank you for your help, father."

After understanding what Duke Carlot had done, Anvis respectfully saluted and thanked the Duke again.

"Um--"

The Duke nodded with satisfaction,

"Now, you can decide by yourself when you want to leave for the Yitel Federation.

If you need to prepare anything in advance, you can go to Leonard and he will arrange it for you."

Before you leave, try to spend as much time with your mother and sister as possible."

With that said, Duke Carlot looked at Anvis with serious eyes again.

"And finally, remember something!

If you are really in danger of being invincible, don't hesitate to call me through the family talisman immediately!"

.….….

On the New Year's Day, Avis stayed at Yuelin Castle for a day to spend the holiday with the Duke, his wife and Fiona.

Unfortunately, the eldest brother Raymond and the third sister Alanis have their own affairs, so they did not return to Yuelin Castle for this year's New Year's Day.

On the second day, after Anvis said goodbye to his family, he took the ultra-long-distance teleportation array in Yuelin Castle and arrived at the Kingdom of Loland in the Federation of the Kingdom of Iter.

The Kingdom of Loland is located in the central and western part of the Iter Federation. It is one of the three kingdoms with the most powerful overall strength among the hundreds of small kingdoms in the entire Kingdom Federation.

There are many canals in the territory leading to the west coast of the mainland, which has brought it prosperous trade and a more mobile population.

The reason Anvis went there first was because of an important treasure in his past life memory. Its creator is currently living in seclusion there.
