"Under the cold crown of winter? Oh - that is indeed quite harsh. Fortunately, the climate in the Federation is like spring all year round, so he can't come here."
Not caring about the girl's 'glaring', the leader's eyes flashed with amusement. After looking at Anvis for the last time, he turned back as if he had lost interest and returned to the throne.
"Bring her to Gray Fog, Xing, he will know how to deal with her."
"Okay, just don't forget what I want."
Nodding helplessly, Xing teleported Anvis away again, but this time he did not knock her out.
After reappearing, the environment around them turned into a special white room.
The four walls are painted with dazzling silver inscriptions and magic circuits. A silver gate is located on one side of the room and is currently closed.
This seems to be some kind of room specially designed for teleportation requests from the outside world. It is usually used in some secret experimental bases that have special concealment measures and cannot be directly teleported into.
Anvis could feel the weak space isolation effect coming from the surrounding walls.
"Can you tell me what your purpose is in bringing me here? Maybe we can find a better solution."
Seeing that the environment around him changed again, and he was floating next to Xing, Anvis' tone became calmer and he began to try to talk.
"Have you calmed down? Your mental quality is pretty good."
At this moment, upon hearing Anvis's question, Xing's hood moved slightly, and he glanced at Anvis, his tone slightly surprised.
"Grey Fog said that you may be related to the prophesied Crystal Bird Star, so the organization decided to bring you back to study it. As for what exactly they will do to you, I don't know.
Don't be surprised, because I don't care much about this matter in the first place. The reason why I personally brought you here is because the leader agreed to my needs."
"So, if you have any questions, ask Gray Mist himself."
With that said, Xing led Anvis towards the gate. Sensing Xing's approach, the gate released a detection wave and then automatically rose, revealing the metal tunnel behind it.
There were two mithril golems guarding the door. When they saw Xing's appearance, a blue light flashed in their eyes, and they bowed their heads in greeting to the noble crown in front of them.
Not paying attention to this, Xing took Anvis and walked in one direction without hesitation.
Along the way, we also met several spellcasters wearing experimental robes, but just like the students in the academy, they were completely unaware of Star and Anvis.
"Your Majesty, you should also know that I come from Olivendi, one of the four great families in Gloria, and I am the biological descendant of the current head of the family.
If you are willing to find a way to send me back safely, then you will gain the sincere friendship of the Olivendi family.
No matter how much this organization offers you, the Olivendi family can pay it, or even give you more."
Turning his eyes, Anwes began to try to instigate rebellion against the man in black robes who appeared to be a woman in front of him.
"Huh? I am the enemy who just captured you."
Staring at Anvis with interest, Xing chatted with her casually as he moved forward.
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Your Majesty, you just told me that you are not interested in that prophecy, so there is no inevitable conflict of positions between us."
Carefully organizing her words, Avis tried to read Xing's thoughts on this, but Xing's face was completely covered under the shadow of the hood, making it difficult to see clearly.
"To be honest, I really appreciate your composure at critical moments. If I were in your position back then, I would have been so panicked that I would have cried."
The steps paused for a moment, and Xing's tone became serious for the first time.
"However, I have already promised the leader to bring you, so I will not go back on my word at the moment.
You'd better think of a way first, how to deal with Gray Fog. He is very enthusiastic about that prophecy, after all, it is his job."
If the charm or eloquence attributes are not up to standard, the negotiation fails, and the experience will be increased by three.
Although there is no game panel now, Anvis still made up for the system prompts in his mind.
At this time, after the two of them turned a corner, the corridor in front of them led directly to two black rock doors that were tightly closed and shrouded in a light gray-white mist.
Xing walked quietly with Anvis, and when they arrived at the door, the two towering doors opened automatically.
"Welcome, Lord Xing——"
Behind the door is an extremely wide and empty hall, with runes painted on the walls, and the dome is shrouded in the endless night sky, projecting the real constellations of the outside world.
The prophet Hui Wu, who was dressed in gray robes, sat quietly on the edge of the long table in the center. After seeing the two people entering, he stood up and said hello to Xing.
"Then the lady next to you must be Fiona Olivierdi."
After saying hello, Gray Mist's eager gaze immediately shifted to Anvis, as if he wanted to study her thoroughly from the inside out.
"Hmm... Yes, it should be her. The line of fate is shrouded in the thick fog of fate. Even I can't easily see her fate clearly."
"What does that mean?"
Xing asked.
"Unless she is also a high-level prophet, this means that she is a child of destiny, just like the protagonists of those biographies."
Gray Mist shrugged.
"Also, dear lady, you seem to be confident, which is not normal."
Without giving Anvis a chance to speak, Gray Mist suddenly waved to her. Then, including the ring and the secret scriptures of the past, several items on Anvis' body were detached and floating in mid-air.
"Let me see, what gave you your confidence? This book?"
As he spoke, he picked up the Old Secret Scripture as if by accident and flipped through it casually.
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
As if he was very disdainful of this behavior, Anvis raised his head and refused to answer.
"Yeah?"
Gray fog shook his head, stopped browsing, poured out all the items in Anvis's ring, and after sensing it for a while, he casually took out an emerald engraved with secret patterns.
What is a bit strange is that this gem seems to have a universe within it, and there is another layer inside, and no breath can be sensed on the surface.
"Or this one? Oh! Interesting design, I guess, it allows you to contact your family, and maybe even has a location function, right?"
Saying that, Gray Mist casually broke open the shell of the gem, took out the real core gem, and then crushed it into pieces.
"What a shame, now it's gone."
"The Olivendi family will not let you go!"
Seeing this scene, Anvis's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his tone also took on a hint of anger.
"maybe."
With a perfunctory nod, Gray Fog put all the remaining items back into the ring, then summoned a mithril golem and handed it the ring, the Secret Scripture of the Old Days, and other items.
"Take these things away and put them in the secret vault, so that our respected guests will not have unrealistic hopes."
After the golem left, he looked at the girl with her eyes slightly closed, as if she had accepted her fate. Xing hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"Hai Wu, will your experiment endanger her life?"
Somewhat surprised by Xing's question, Hui Wu stared at her and shook his head.
"Don't worry too much, Star. Everyone will die, it's just a matter of time."
