Chapter 25 The Trial and Assessment of the True Knowledge Society
After the magical isolation was lifted, Avis took out the blue and gold invitation and examined it carefully.
The invitation feels a little heavy to the touch. Although it is only a thin piece, due to the ultra-high density of fine gold, it still feels like holding a metal plaque.
When he held it in his hand, the Scepter of Truth logo on the surface exuded a faint magical luster, and a message of spiritual power touched Anvis's spiritual defense wall and was intercepted.
He stretched out his spiritual tentacles and touched the message.
As a result, a large paragraph of background introduction about the True Knowledge Society and another brief piece of information appeared in Avis's spiritual sea.
'On the 15th day of the Fire Moon, at midnight, hold the invitation and go to sleep. Pass through the door and you will arrive at the venue. Please prepare in advance.'
That piece of information tells you the location of the next meeting of the True Knowledge Society and how to get there.
However, Avis knew very well that the location indicated in the invitation letter was not the so-called 'meeting place'. It was the location of the final assessment for new people who wanted to join the True Knowledge Society.
Newcomers who meet the standard for hidden scores in all aspects still need to pass the final trial and assessment before they can officially become a member of the True Knowledge Society and step into the most advanced circles of the entire empire.
Even the descendants of the four great dukes of the empire are not immune to this.
Anvis also participated in this assessment in his previous life. The specific location of the assessment is in the dream world. Generally speaking, it is similar to a super large secret realm.
Newcomers need to rely on their own strength to break through the various dangers in the dream world, find the true location of the venue, and find a way to enter it.
During the process, newcomers can choose to form a team or go alone. As long as the final goal can be achieved, any means can be used.
If the previous assessment scores were used to judge the overall quality of the newcomers, then this one is a test of the newcomers' ability to adapt to situations.
In this reassessment, the judges of Zhenzhi Club will create character profiles for the new people based on their different choices.
Leader type, lone wolf type, resourceful type, passionate type...
Based on these different files, resources will be allocated more efficiently in the future.
If it were to be a normal assessment like before, Anwes would be confident that he could pass it safely. But now he is a little worried that the significantly advanced prediction will bring any changes to his assessment process this year.
However, this thought only appeared for a moment, and he extinguished it, and quietly began to prepare for the assessment.
Unless he chooses to refuse to join, he will eventually have to face all this.
And Duke Carrot is also a senior member of the True Knowledge Society. Even if there are any changes in this year's assessment, it shouldn't be too much.
.….….
That night, Anvis was dressed neatly, holding an invitation, and quietly waiting for the arrival of midnight.
He is currently wearing a moon-white classical long dress, a wavy scarf with a blue background and silver edges, and a pure black long cloak with gold edges on the outside, which is fastened to his chest with a dark gold engraved buckle.
A monocle with a mithril wire frame was placed in front of his left eye. Magic light like moonlight floated slowly on the surface of the crystal-clear lens, looking extremely mysterious.
It was a magic ritual specially customized by him for combat. It had a series of practical effects such as adapting to the environment, deflecting magic, protecting against curses, and replenishing magic power.
The light cyan star-shaped gem on the scarf on the chest is the core of the entire set of attire. It stores a large amount of magic power, which can increase the wearer's spell power and can be used as an external magic source when the caster's magic power is exhausted.
According to the player's panel, this should be a top-notch purple suit.
Of course, this does not increase his real strength much, and more of it just serves as a cover-up.
As Avis waited, time passed quickly.
As the deep chime of the huge Gloria grandfather clock sounded, midnight officially arrived.
At the same time, the invitation in his hand suddenly shimmered.
A familiar dreamy power gradually spread from the invitation and enveloped his body, making him feel slightly dazed.
This is exactly the phenomenon of entering the dream world. Anvis soon saw the door connecting the dream world.
Relying on the power of the invitation, the illusory door slowly opened a gap, allowing him to pass through.
After opening my eyes, the familiar night sky of the dream world appeared in my sight.
The familiar extraordinarily bright purple moon, the dark holes-like stars all over the sky, and the pale blue guiding star in the far northern sky.
Standing up slowly, Anvis looked around.
The location where he appeared was a forest clearing in the dream world. A huge dream white oak tree stood in the center of the clearing, seemingly hundreds of meters high.
The lavender moonlight falls quietly here, and a few electric blue dream fireflies circle around the strange pale white flowers. Accompanied by bursts of sweet insect chirping, everything is very familiar to Anvis.
In the surrounding environment, there are already two figures in different clothes.
On a branch of the huge oak tree, stood a vague figure covered in a pitch-black cloak, throwing a gold coin in one hand.
On the other side, above the thick tree roots, a girl wearing a Pamir Academy uniform with long light blue wavy hair was sitting there, playing with a magic cube with an extremely complex structure.
Noticing the appearance of Anvis, the two people stopped immediately and looked over at the same time.
"Is this the venue?"
Anvis looked back at the two of them calmly, asking questions knowingly.
"I don't know, I'm new here too."
The girl with long wavy hair held the Rubik's Cube with both hands and shook her head gently. At the same time, she looked at the figure in black robe with a dull expression.
"Hei, what do you know?"
"Don't give me random nicknames...you can call me Ka Xiu."
With a slightly helpless tone, Ka Xiu grabbed the gold coin and gently floated it down from the tree branch, falling to the ground without a sound.
"Like you, I am just a new member who received the invitation letter. The direction indicated by my invitation letter is here. As for why there is no one, maybe the party time has not officially started yet."
As he said that, Ka Xiu shrugged, saying that he didn't know much.
"Okay, Kashu, I'm Shafia."
"In this case, I now have a guess."
The girl with long light blue wavy hair raised her head, looked at Cassius, and then at Anvis.
"Perhaps it is because we are newcomers that we were sent here."
The mental power simultaneously painted eighteen different inscriptions on six sides. After thinking for a while, the girl spoke again.
"If my guess is true, then there should be something nearby that reminds us what to do next."
