In fact, the Hidden Knowledge Secret Society was founded by Anvis as a semi-secret organization used to win over some Pamir students.
Half a year ago, after he obtained the special Dream Linking Object for parties from the Duke, he gave the magic ring used to connect the miraculous object to Claire, Albins and other people he liked.
Because he was worried that it would have the same name as other organizations, he ultimately did not use the Conclave, but gave the name to the players' organization.
"Is this just a small private group with just a few people?"
Alyssa was a little surprised. She originally thought that it would be some deeply hidden mysterious organization that allowed Anvis to invite him personally.
"Otherwise? Am I going to blackmail you into joining some evil organization in the name of returning a gift?"
Anvis smiled softly and spread his hands to the girl whose cheeks were slightly red.
"Don't worry about anything, Alyssa. In fact, other newcomers who join the True Knowledge Society will also be attracted by people from other families and join some small groups after the assessment.
This year, an accident occurred and we were unable to go to the party location as soon as possible. As a result, this step seemed to have been temporarily shelved.
For example, the other two people who teleported away with us should have been approached by other members of the True Knowledge Society at this time, and I was just the first to meet you, Alyssa."
"I understand, Avis, if this is all, then I agree to join you."
After thinking for a moment, Alyssa nodded and took the ring floating in front of her.
"Then, on behalf of the Hidden Knowledge Secret Society, I welcome you to join, Alyssa——"
Anvis smiled, picked up a slender goblet filled with light blue juice, and raised the glass to the young knight.
Wherever there are people, there are factions, and Zhenzhi Society is no exception.
Currently, the True Knowledge Society is also vaguely divided into multiple factions, headed by the four major families and the royal family, as well as some neutral factions headed by the major marquises.
Choosing to join Avis's small group naturally means joining Olivendi, or at a larger level, one of the four major families.
"Usually, the meeting time is at midnight on the first of every month. But you can activate this ring at any time and enter the dream space.
Before using the ring for the first time, you need to inject your spiritual mark into the gem at the top of the ring to confirm your identity.
There is currently a free trade area, as well as a task message board and other functions. There are some tasks that are not suitable for public release in the academy, and you can seek help from members here."
“In the future, if there are temporary special gatherings, they will be notified in this ring.
The appearance of the ring can be modified with your thoughts after you bind your identity, but it can only be changed once, so please choose carefully."
When Alyssa confirmed joining, Avis began to carefully explain to the girl how to use the ring.
The girl did as she was told, and for a moment, the lines of the dark golden ring began to become slender, and the color turned into a shiny golden red, just like her hair color.
Just then, the short intermission ended, and as the slightly depressing background music sounded, the magnificent opera began again.
Now in the second act, the protagonist falls into the cave under the waterfall. After killing the black water snake occupying the cave, he obtains the secret treasure of the ancient magic empire deep in the cave.
Then, he changed his identity, assumed the name Theo Sith, donated a huge sum of money to obtain a title, and re-entered the social circles of the kingdom.
This scene uses a lot of magical effects, from the dark waterfalls, caves and ferocious snakes, to the various bejeweled treasures in the treasure house, all of which are composed of real phantoms.
In particular, the giant snake is not an ordinary illusion, but a specially constructed phantom spirit body that can withstand a certain amount of damage.
Master Laurent's performance is wonderful, and the illusionist behind the scenes is equally skilled.
The movements of the giant snake are lifelike under control. Whether it is the attack movements, the painful posture when being hit, the hissing sound and the spilled blood, they are all quite subtle and vivid.
As the second act ended, the audience immediately stood up and began to applaud and cheer fiercely.
“It’s so lively!”
Putting down the theater mirror, Alyssa couldn't help but admired.
"Tonight's performance has many more guests than usual. This is due to Master Laurent's singing voice and acting skills, and the quality of his Windtalkers band is also very high."
After taking a sip of the light blue juice, Anvis explained to the girl the special features of tonight's performance.
"That's great. In my family's territory, the opera houses are very deserted. For an opera performance, it would be good if the hall can be filled with half of the people."
Alyssa shook her head, and also picked up a glass of star fruit juice and took a sip.
"When it comes to guest numbers, I think there's a school of thought that's pretty good at that."
Mentioning this, Anvis couldn't help but smile.
“There was once an opera house that was not very popular. One day, the local lord made an appointment with the owner of the opera house and he would come three days later.
In order to keep up appearances, the boss gave his subordinates a fatal order: 'No matter what method you use to attract people, during the performance in three days, I want to see that at least 80% of the seats are occupied by guests!'"
"Actually, because the environment and actors there are very ordinary, not many local people are willing to go to that theater to watch the opera. And it is not possible for people to watch it for free. It is not easy for the lords and commoners to watch a free opera together.
"
"They thought for two days and finally came up with a good idea. So, on the day of the performance, the theater hall was really full of people!
Do you want to know what method they finally adopted?"
"any solution?"
Listening to Anvis's story, the girl's curiosity was immediately aroused.
"They recruited a necromancer to go there, awaken a large number of skeletons overnight, and then put cloaks and wigs on them in various colors to pretend to be living people.
Anyway, the lord is sitting in a high-rise box, and you can’t tell by simply looking at it——”
"Pfft - what about the other real guests?"
Alyssa couldn't help but squirted out, worried about the other guests.
"Maybe it will feel a little cold, and maybe there will be a bit of a rattling noise from the bones rubbing against each other. Who knows?"
Anvis shrugged, it's just a Yin soldier.
.….….
When the entire opera ended tonight, Avis and Alyssa left together.
But when the two were about to enter the stairs, an unexpected teasing voice suddenly sounded behind Anvis.
"It's really rare that our Lord Anvis will one day enjoy an opera alone with a beautiful lady."
After hearing these words, Alyssa's face instantly turned red, and she instinctively took a step to the side to distance herself from Anvis.
The latter turned back slightly unexpectedly and looked at the source of the sound.
"Harvey, are you here too?"
Behind him, Harvey, a blonde man, walked toward the two of them with his arms around two beautiful brown-haired and purple-eyed female companions.
The two girls look almost identical and appear to be twins.
At this time, seeing Alyssa's subtle movements, Harvey immediately understood.
He has a good eye and can tell at a glance whether he is a female companion or a female friend.
"How about it? Anvis, why don't you introduce this beautiful lady to me?"
"This is my new friend, Alyssa, an excellent knight."
After giving him a helpless look, Anvis also introduced him to the girl.
"This is Mr. Harvey, Harvey Coravin, the dream lover of the noble girls in the capital."
"Nice to meet you, charming young lady——"
Upon hearing Anvis' formal introduction, Harvey immediately put away his playboy posture, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly to Alyssa in a very formal manner.
While he was saluting, a hidden spiritual message was transmitted to Anvis's spiritual sea.
"Be careful, Avis, I have received some news recently, and some people are ready to test you. I don't know if you have also received the news, but I have to remind you."
