After completing the mission, the two returned to the Gloria Empire.
Duke Carrot did not return with him, but was prepared to wait for one more day, and then leave if there was still no gain.
As a gentleman with good etiquette, Avis personally sent Alyssa back to the Pamir Knight Academy and exchanged identity marks with the girl knight to facilitate future contact.
At the same time, when he returned to the academy, there were several unread messages in his ID card.
Previously, due to the distance, these messages could not be successfully sent to Anvis, but when he returned to the academy, all these messages were squeezed in.
That was a message sent by Claire and other classmates. Since he suddenly did not go to the mystery class in the past few days, others were somewhat concerned about his situation.
However, while browsing this information, Anvis suddenly noticed something unusual.
Among all the unread messages, there is an abnormal feedback from Thorium!
The azure crystal egg he left in the underground laboratory has recently produced special fluctuations and is suspected to be about to hatch!
After saying goodbye to Alyssa, Avis quickly returned to his residence. He was also a little curious about what kind of existence this egg from the distant starry sky could hatch.
"Authentication passed, welcome to your arrival, distinguished administrator, Your Excellency Anvis."
Thorium's lovely and energetic voice sounded.
Anvis recently updated her voice pack, and currently uses preset one, which is Fiona's voice.
After saying hello to Thorium, Anvis confirmed the authority with his own mental fluctuations, and opened the special section deep in the magic laboratory for incubating crystal eggs.
A translucent magic barrier enveloped the center of the laboratory, and the magic circle on the ground was still continuously inputting pure wind-attribute magic power into the vortex crystal in the center.
At this time, the crystal is turning on and off regularly like breathing, emitting beautiful azure fluorescence.
That barrier was a safety policy specially set up by Anvis. Since he was not sure what form the hatched things would take, he used a high-level magic barrier to cover the eggs inside to prevent the hatched creatures from accidentally escaping.
After all, everything is unknown, so it never hurts to be cautious.
"Thorium, call up the hatching record, and also display the comparison between the current egg state and the initial state."
"Order accepted——"
A translucent magic light screen opened in front of Anvis, which displayed the changes in various values during the incubation process of the crystal eggs, as well as a comparison chart of various data.
It can be seen from the comparison that the frequency of fluctuations inside the crystal has changed from weak to obvious and clear.
Moreover, the vortex structure in the center has obviously expanded a lot compared to the original, expanding from the size of a golf ball to the size of a fist.
The wave line has an obvious peak in the center, and there is a large change in frequency before and after. Thorium triggered the alarm at that time.
According to the demonic record, at the moment when the fluctuations changed, the crystal egg suddenly began to flicker, and the vortex structure within it expanded to its current size in less than half a minute.
However, when Avis observed it, the crystal egg was still absorbing magic power slowly, and there was no obvious change.
According to Thorium's records, it has absorbed enough magic power to release more than ten eighth-level super magics so far.
If this energy is used to refine the secret plutonium core, it will be enough to refine seven and a half.
After thinking about it, Avis let Thorium continue to monitor the status of the eggs, while he left again, waiting for the crystal eggs to officially hatch.
.….….
Federation, Silverwind City.
Three days after the arrest, that is, one day after Anvis returned to the empire, Duke Carrot and the ninth level of the Alfred family finally gave up waiting and truly returned to the empire.
As level nine, they all have their own things to do, and they can't always wait here.
However, less than half a day after the two of them left completely, a cloaked figure with a vague figure, as if he was outside the world, appeared silently in the ruins.
At this time, the area around the ruins has been placed under temporary martial law by the Lord of Silverwind City. No one is allowed to enter, and the city guards are closely guarding it to prevent accidents.
But none of the city guards guarding the area noticed the cloaked man's appearance, as if nothing existed there in their sight.
After briefly surveying the environment of the ruins, the figure was silent for a moment, then entered the basement where a large hole was torn open. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was exploring something.
"Strange... the hiding effect here was intact before? What went wrong?"
After a moment, the figure's brows furrowed slightly, feeling a little confused.
Could it be that the fortune teller of the empire had great luck? Did he just hit it right with special luck-based prediction magic? Or did he use some expendable prophecy rare items?
After checking his surroundings, he took off a piece of brick left on the basement wall. A faint gray mist overflowed from his palm and wrapped the stone.
He planned to use prophecy spells to trace back the prophet who cracked his favorite spell this time to see who it was.
Everything that has been done must leave traces, and the same applies to prophecy.
No matter who it is, now that he has cracked the fog of disguise, he will definitely leave traces of the spell on the level of destiny!
Except for the one on the Sky City, he is not afraid of any other prophet. Even if that person really takes action this time, he is confident that he can cut off the contact in time and escape in disguise.
But after a moment, the figure's brows frowned again.
In his special vision of destiny, there were no traces of magic left, it was completely empty, and it seemed that no one had cracked his magic at all.
But the ruins in front of him clearly told him that his spell had no effect.
I am afraid that the other party has used extremely clever means to eliminate the traces of the prophecy spell again.
This is not only to avoid being traced, but also as a warning and demonstration to him!
There was no other valuable thing left. The figure put away the brick and prepared to destroy it alone, and then the figure disappeared instantly.
When he reappeared, he was already in a secret underground base.
Surrounded by ancient lead-gray black schist walls, there are rough patterns carved on them, as if they were strange humanoid creatures hunting giant beasts.
This place was originally a real ancient ruins. After simple renovation, it is now one of their underground bases.
After returning here, the shadowy prophet did not stay, but went straight to the central hall of the ruins.
There is a long black schist table in the center of the hall, and high-backed chairs of the same material are placed beside the table. What is strange is that on each chair, there is a corresponding crystal ball.
Arriving at the long table, he reached out and pressed his hand on the crystal ball on the first seat on the left.
The crystal ball emits a grayish light, and affected by this, the crystal balls on the other seats also begin to glow.
In a moment, more than ten people wearing black robes with the emblem of the Gate in the Pupil, and dark magic projections on their facial features, appeared in mid-air above the crystal ball.
"Grey Mist, why did you suddenly activate the summons?"
At the head of the long table, the man in black robe with a dark golden emblem turned to the prophet and spoke hoarsely.
"Everyone must already know about the exposure of Silverwind City's stronghold."
The prophet in a gray cloak spoke concisely.
"The two ninth-level ones have left, but when I went to explore the ruins, I didn't notice any cracking traces of the prophecy spells. It seems that a prophecy far stronger than me has taken action!"
