On the last day before Anvis left Moonland Castle, Duke Carrot summoned him again.
"Father--"
In the study, Anvis put his right hand on his chest and bowed his head to the Duke.
The Duke had been reading a document and occasionally used a magic quill to make some notes on it.
After a minute or two, he inserted the pen back into the crystal ink bottle, staring at Anvis with his blue eyes. In a seemingly casual tone, he asked a question that made Anvis' heart beat faster.
"I heard that yesterday, you created a magical item with growth potential?"
"Yes, father, that is a low-level growth rare item. I plan to give it to Fiona as a parting gift before I leave."
Unable to guess the Duke's intention of mentioning this matter at this time, Anvis answered slightly cautiously.
"It's great that you can create growth-oriented wonders at this age, Avis. But you have to understand that a person's time and energy are ultimately limited."
Seeing Anvis' somewhat nervous expression, Duke Carrot smiled kindly and spoke in an easy-going tone.
Anvis immediately understood that the Duke was worried that he would be too obsessed with his deputy position, thus wasting the learning of magic knowledge and the improvement of personal strength.
Although I, as a reborn person, do not have this problem, I cannot explain this to the Duke.
"I understand, father, and I will make good use of the energy I put into my deputy position in the future."
"Um--"
Duke Carlot nodded and ended the topic.
"Tomorrow is the day when you go to Pamir. With your personality, you must have known the information about Pamir Academy in advance, right?"
"Yes, I already have a certain understanding of the basic information of the college."
Avis answered humbly.
"So, do you know about the 'association' in Pamir Academy?"
"I know something. It is a small group with a relatively loose structure that is organized spontaneously by formal students for various common purposes. It usually consists of more than five students."
The Duke nodded again, satisfied with Avis's answer.
"Very well, what I want to tell you now is one of the associations called 'True Knowledge Society'."
Anvis tilted his head politely and looked at the Duke intently with his blue eyes, indicating that he was all ears.
“Although it is not well-known, it is the most powerful and influential association in the Pamir Academy.
Different from those associations where ordinary students fight each other, the Zhenzhi Society is a semi-hidden association that only absorbs a few to a dozen new blood from the formal students who have passed their freshman period every year.
The standards are comprehensively evaluated based on the students' background, talent level, etc. Only the most cutting-edge talents are eligible to receive invitations."
"If the Pamir Academy gathers the best talents and aristocratic children in the entire empire, it will be equivalent to the Gloria aristocracy in the future.
Then the True Knowledge Society is a gathering place for the most advanced elites among the nobility——
Every member who comes out of the True Knowledge Society is the backbone and cornerstone of the future development of the Gloria Empire.
Of course, as a direct descendant of Olivendi, you are already qualified to receive the invitation letter in advance. I am telling you this now just to give you a certain understanding in advance."
As he spoke, the Duke smiled and touched the heraldic ring on his hand. His eyes were slightly lost in thought, as if he was recalling the past.
"So far, there have been eight ninth-level professionals among the members of the True Knowledge Society, including me - yes, I am also a member of the True Knowledge Society.
I won’t go into details about the specific membership rules, they are included in every invitation letter, and you can choose whether to join or not according to your own wishes.”
Then, the Duke behind the desk stood up and waved his right hand, and three items suddenly appeared in the air in the study.
A delicate staff embedded with faint blue crystals, a silver-white magic book, and a dark silver ring surrounded by light cyan inscriptions.
Under the sunlight that shines into the study through the window, the three items glow with magical halos of different colors, making them look extremely beautiful and mysterious.
"These are the parting gifts prepared for you by your three brothers and sisters."
Following the Duke's words, the objects in mid-air suddenly floated towards Anvis and floated in front of him.
"The Dark Moon Staff can increase the success rate of spell casting, spell effects and duration. It comes with a sixth-level dissociation spell and can be cast twice a day.
For spells below the fourth level, its amplification effect is 2.5 times. For spells above the fourth level and below the sixth level, the amplification effect is 1.5 times, and for seventh-level spells, the amplification effect is 1.15 times."
"The Mithril Code has a total of eighteen pages. Three of the silver pages can record up to seventh-level spells, and the remaining ordinary pages can record up to sixth-level spells."
"The Ring of the Thinker can make the wearer think clearly and react quickly. It is also partially resistant to the power of spells.
When the wearer is attacked by a powerful force, the ring will automatically pop up a defensive force field once a day, and its defense force is enough to withstand any attack with power below level seven."
Pointing to the objects in mid-air, the Duke explained their effects to Anvis one by one.
Although he already knew it, Anvis couldn't help but feel a little emotional when hearing these famous names.
They are all the best purple clothes with famous names that have been sold at auction houses for sky-high prices in their previous lives! They also come with top-notch skills!
In his previous life, when Anvis was in his forties, he gained favor from a high-level NPC alchemist through a series of hidden tasks.
Then from the exchange list given by the alchemist, a Dark Moon Staff was selected.
However, the amplification effect of that staff on spells below level 4 is only 2.2 times. The amplification effect on spells above level 4 and below is only 1.35 times, and the attached spell is only level 5 chain lightning.
You don't have to think about the dissociation spell at all, it is a spell that only masters can possess. Masters not only need a huge fee to do it, but also need to achieve a certain degree of favorability with the NPC.
Except for the presidents of large guilds and professional players in clubs, no one can afford to ask a master to take action once.
But even so, the Dark Moon Staff ranked seventeenth on the player staff rankings at that time!
You must know that at that time, the mainstream spells of spellcasters were still between the third and fourth levels, and the staff amplification coefficient was generally less than 1.5x.
A staff with an increase factor of 2.2x and two free fifth-level chain lightning shots every day, it is a real artifact!
The increase in spell effect in "Mysterious Era" is not just a simple increase in magic panel damage.
Rather, it is a flexible and full-range increase including spell stability, spell range, spell duration, etc.——
These three pieces of equipment were not the end. The next thing that appeared in front of Anvis couldn't help but hold his breath a little.
