However, despite becoming stronger, Avis felt a somewhat strange atmosphere around Claire.
It's like an originally complete thing suddenly reveals some flaws in it, but it becomes more real.
The blond half-elf girl did not hide anything about what happened to her. Instead, she briefly told Anvis about the experience of exploring the castle, encountering the fragment, and entering the depths of the underground.
"…Then, at the bottom of the spiral staircase, there is a slowly flowing river of red lava.
At the source of that river, I saw an extremely ancient rock altar, standing in a huge underground lava lake. In the center of the ancient magic circle on the top of the altar, there was a strange crystal heart.
When I picked up the crystal heart, it suddenly integrated into my body, and even I couldn't find its whereabouts.
Then, the altar suddenly collapsed and sank into the lava lake, almost sucking me in, and the surrounding cave walls began to tremble strangely.
I felt something was wrong. When I escaped from the underground, the volcano suddenly erupted. Then, I met Mr. Bergson who also escaped, and that was it."
Listening to the girl's "thrilling" adventure, Anvis opened his mouth and pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Let's put incense sticks on the high priest first.
The seal that was originally impossible to lose was absorbed by the Old Secret Scripture, and the Forbidden Demon Realm encountered technological weapons from another world. When the ritual failed and everyone was about to fight, Claire even turned around her house!
Who can withstand this!
"Are you thinking of something very rude?"
The half-elf girl's white and crystal clear ear tips suddenly trembled, and her blue eyes narrowed slightly instinctively.
"It's nothing, I just thought of some of my 'good friends'. Their homes are very spectacular. When I have the opportunity to visit in the future, I can prepare an extra invitation letter for you, senior sister."
Anvis's expression suddenly became serious, and he shook his head seriously.
"Prepare one more invitation letter?"
Claire was stunned for a moment. Thinking of what she had just said, she suddenly realized something, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"Anvis, has anyone ever told you that you are very..."
Saying that, the girl herself didn't know how to describe it.
"Talented? Handsome and charming? Attractive?"
Anvis curled up the corners of his mouth and turned his face slightly, letting the two-color moonlight in the sky reflect on his face.
"Thanks for the praise, I think you, senior, have outstanding vision and superb insights, far beyond the vast majority of mediocre people in this world."
As he said this, without waiting for Claire's reaction to his confident words, Avis immediately changed the subject.
"But Senior Sister Claire, regarding the treasures you obtained, it may not be wise to tell others such important things."
"If others are greedy for the treasure you obtained and take action against you, wouldn't you be in a very dangerous situation?"
Listening to Anvis' words, Claire took a deep breath, touched the hilt of the one-handed sword at her waist, and didn't know what to say.
"……You will not."
Finally, her body softened again, and she no longer struggled with his previous remarks, and just shook her head gently.
"I understand what you mean, but Avis, I just can feel it, but you can't-"
Looking at the clear eyes of the half-elf girl, Anvis was silent for a moment and showed a slightly helpless smile.
"Okay, senior."
"Also, when I escaped from the cave, I found this on the way."
As she said that, the half-elf girl suddenly remembered something and raised her right hand. A gem appeared in the girl's hand, making her white fingers turn purple.
The gem was only as big as a girl's fist, and was in the shape of an extremely perfect sphere, emitting extremely bright and eerie purple fluorescence, just like the purple moon that Anvis had seen in the dream world.
He tore off his own shadow and raised it into the moon, so the moon in the dream was shadowless——
Staring at the beautiful gems in front of him, Anvis inexplicably remembered the words describing Ziyue in the dream world.
"I found this in a cracked gem cave wall when I passed by a gem mine."
"Anvis, as a member of the Olivendi family, you don't need ordinary items, so is this valuable to you?"
Holding the gem, the blond half-elf girl looked at him with shining eyes.
"I'm afraid...it's valuable."
Slowly raising his gaze, Anvis looked at Claire's blue eyes seriously.
"But Senior Claire, I don't know if you know it clearly, but I must tell you in advance that this gem is a ninth-level material!"
"The value of ninth-level materials cannot be measured in gold coins, but if you give them to my family, the resources you can get in exchange are enough to support you, senior, to break through to seventh-level and above."
Listening to Anvis' explanation, Claire nodded slightly.
"Since you are valuable to Anvis, then consider it as my return gift——"
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
Nodding, Anvis took the gem and at the same time took out a light black crystal ball treated with a special secret method and handed it to Claire.
"The college's identity card is not very convenient. It is a specialty of the Olivendi family. It only needs to be activated by injecting magic power. If you need anything in the future, senior sister, you can contact me directly through it."
"good--"
Feeling Anvis's thoughts, Claire smiled softly, the corners of her eyes slightly curved. Her eyes were like the clear ocean under the moonlight of the island, pure and clean.
After the girl left, Bergson walked over, raised his explorer hat, and saluted Anvis solemnly.
"Sir Anvis, I want to express my gratitude to you."
He had just chatted with Qiao Mu and learned basic information such as the current era and the situation on the mainland, as well as the biggest contributor to his ability to escape from the dream.
"It doesn't have to be like this, Mr. Bagson, the incarnation of the divine power at the core of the island's dream realm was sealed by my father. You can just go and express your gratitude to my father."
Waving his hand gently, Anvis showed a decent smile. He did not take any credit, but gave all the credit to the Duke.
"Even so, His Majesty Carrot will come here in person, and it is also due to your efforts, Mr. Anvis."
Bergson shook his head, his face becoming heavy.
"I once came in pursuit of information about the Moon-Calling Secret Cult. I was eager for adventure, eager to know those ancient and terrifying secrets, and eager to use them to take myself one step further."
"It wasn't until the moment before I fell into the dream that I fully understood - this island is a whole, like a huge alienated monster!
Whether it is the indigenous people on the island, the Moon Calling Secret Order, or the entire city of Port Lavanles, although they seem to exist independently, to this island, they are just five internal organs that perform their own duties.
The outsiders who come to this island are actually equivalent to the food that enters the body of the monster, gradually being digested, integrated with it, and transformed into a new member of it."
"What we think of as camouflage is actually equivalent to moths coated with light dust from the perspective of the island. Even if we look similar to other aborigines, they are as conspicuous as the stars in the night sky.
Because, no matter how many reincarnations there are, all the plots that happen in the dream realm remain unchanged. Only outsiders can change the unchanging plot."
