The Duke opened the drawer and took out an earring made of gray translucent crystal.
"The restoration pendant contains an eighth-level advanced restoration technique.
When you take the initiative to activate it, or when the life fluctuations are reduced to a certain level, the pendant will return the physical state of you or other recipients to one hour ago, but the mental power and other special powers will not be restored."
"The pendant can only be activated once every three days. In addition, do not activate it too frequently.
If you activate it a second time within seven days, the spell's effects may cause you to suffer some permanent damage."
The Duke waved his hand and the pendant floated towards Anvis, floating together with the other three pieces of equipment.
A magical accessory with eighth-level life-saving spells! Before time travel, he had never even heard of it!
In a sense, this is a resurrection stone that has usage restrictions and cooling, but will not be consumed!
"Thank you for your gift. I like this gift very much."
Putting away his thoughts, Anvis smiled appropriately and saluted the Duke again to thank him.
"Put it away. If you need anything else, you can ask it now."
Yi Yan put the four items into the ring, Anvis thought about it and said.
"Father, I also hope to take away a prophecy school book from the library."
"Oh? Which one did you like again?"
Hearing the somewhat familiar request, the Duke raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Anvis with some curiosity.
"The Mercury Prophecy"
"Mercury Prophecy?"
Rubbing the hollow secret gold cufflinks with his fingertips, the Duke thought for a moment.
"Well, yes, I remember it. It was something left by the family's second chief prophet.
According to the last message he left, he was going to a remote place to look for something, and then disappeared.
Before setting off, he left the book in the family library. After his disappearance, nine members of the family went to search for him, but in the end nothing was found."
As he spoke, the Duke looked at Anvis, with a hint of seriousness in his blue eyes.
"You possess the gift of prophecy, and I can make the decision to hand it over to you for use. But you must promise that you will never lend it out in private, or teach the knowledge in it to others privately!"
"I promise you!"
Anvis put his right hand on his chest, facing the Duke's serious gaze, with a solemn expression on his face.
Duke Carlot nodded.
"Is there anything else you need?"
"No more, father."
"Um--"
The Duke nodded again, his blue eyes staring at the fourth son who was about to leave, a deep admiration flashing in his eyes.
When he closed his eyes, the scenes from Avis's childhood seemed to be still in front of him. But when he opened his eyes again, the former young boy had grown into the elegant young man in front of him.
Just like himself back then, he was modest, courteous, and calm. Contained deep in his blue eyes was the strong self-confidence brought by knowledge and strength.
As he watched, Duke Carlot sighed softly.
Although he was known as the youngest ninth-level man in the empire, looking at Avis' clear blue eyes, the Duke suddenly felt emotional for a moment.
——I am still getting old after all.
The next moment, the Duke's expression became solemn, and he completely drove away this somewhat negative emotion from his heart.
"Remember, Avis, if you are out of Kallas, you will represent the face of the Olivendi family! Don't let me down -"
"I understand, Father!"
Anvis was equally serious, standing upright in pure white clothing, staring into the Duke's blue eyes, and answered extremely seriously.
"very good."
The Duke showed an unabashed smile of appreciation.
"Go ahead and do what you want."
Anvis bowed again and then exited the study politely.
In the study, the Duke sat back on his chair, unconsciously stroking the heraldic ring on his index finger, his eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
………
"The Book of Mercury Prophecy" is a strange book with a cover that looks like fluid metal. When you hold it in your hand, you can even see the cover material ripple slightly.
The mirror silver divination that Anvis had previously mastered was one of the basic spells of the mercury divination school recorded in the "Book of Mercury Prophecy".
This book describes the cultivation methods and various secret techniques of the Mercury Seer School in great detail, and contains many key points that need attention.
Moreover, the author not only left written records, but also left spiritual imprints related to the techniques.
When readers use their mental power to communicate with the mark, they can directly experience the specific feeling and process of casting the spell.
This is the fundamental reason why Avis specifically requested this book.
But to be honest, few magic books are as detailed as this.
Anvis suspected that the second-generation chief prophet who left this book might have vaguely predicted his possible future.
Therefore, he recorded everything he learned in advance so that if something unexpected happened to him during his trip, his inheritance would not be cut off.
After getting it from the great library, Anvis went to the alchemy laboratory of the castle again.
There is a basic magic item of the mercury prophecy school that needs to be made by him.
Before leaving Kallas, he planned to complete it as soon as possible.
But speaking of Kallas...
Anvis paused for a moment, and he suddenly remembered the player followers he had recruited some time ago.
I don't know how he is doing now.
After thinking about it, Anvis sent a magic message to the person in charge of his chamber of commerce through the crystal ball.
Ask about the current situation of the last dragonborn whom he had previously sent into the caravan.
After receiving the instructions from the big boss behind him, the person in charge of the chamber of commerce quickly contacted the leader of the caravan where the elf was. After getting the information Anvis needed, he sent it back through the crystal ball as soon as possible.
"The new elf is good at everything, but he is usually a little over-enthusiastic. He always asks other people if they need help. And occasionally he says some difficult words."
…
"Unlike his weak appearance, he trains very hard every day, even harder than the great boys in the caravan.
But he seems to have the habit of eating while training. You can often see him finishing a set of exercises, taking out a few pieces of broad-leaf lettuce, eating them, and then continuing to do the next set."
…
"One thing that's strange is that he doesn't seem to need convenience and sleeps very little.
On his first night as a trainee guard, one of the guys got up in the middle of the night. He was halfway through relieving himself and suddenly felt something was wrong. When he turned around, the elf was standing behind him! He was so scared that the guy almost lost his grip on his pants!"
…
Browsing through the returned information, Anvis imagined the possible scenarios.
I saw the NPC leaving the caravan alone in the middle of the night, thinking that there was a hidden mission that could be triggered. The last dragonborn followed quietly.
The green eyes reflected the dancing light of the campfire, and faint words sounded from behind the NPC: Do you need help?
Okay, this is very gamer——
But in this case, we can just take this opportunity to conduct further experiments on the characteristics of the players.
After thinking about it, Anvis wrote a letter, listing some experimental projects, and specifically ordered that the experimental results should be sent to him in the same letter.
Then, he sealed the envelope with a special secret method and asked the family messenger to send it to the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce.
After all this was over, Avis closed the door of the alchemy laboratory and devoted himself to manufacturing.
