However, in an environment like Pamir Academy, even though Anvis's daily life is very low-key, and even considered a salty fish in the eyes of outsiders, he still cannot escape from the whirlpool among the nobles.
At night, after finishing the day's work, Anvis returned to his residence and suddenly received an unexpected guest.
Although the Pamir Academy is completely shrouded in brilliance, its interior still simulates the sky outside at all times.
Under the reflection of two huge silver and purple crescent moons, Prince Lanno stood at the entrance of Anvis Courtyard, in front of a shrub with pale silver flowers, and raised his hand to touch a fruit in the center of many small flowers.
Accompanied by a wave of invisible but magical power, the evergreen magic bush parted on its own, revealing a quiet path leading to the depths of the courtyard in front of the prince, and at the same time notified Anvis that a visitor was coming.
Following some invisible guidance, Lan Nuo followed the path, passed through clumps of rare flowers and plants, and finally entered Anvis's residence.
In the elegant reception room filled with fresh fragrance, Lan Nuo finally saw the young man with light blond hair and blue eyes, whose temperament was as shining and soft as the afternoon sun.
It seems that because he did not expect that there would be guests at this time, Anvis was dressed in simple white casual clothes, which made his whole person look a little more lazy for no reason.
"Welcome, my dear Royal Highness Lan Nuo. Since the preparations were a bit hasty, please forgive me for my poor hospitality."
Seeing Lanno walk into the room, Anvis stood up calmly and greeted him gracefully, caressing his chest.
"I'm sorry, Anvis, for not informing you in advance before coming. But after all, I am not here to visit as a prince this time. I believe that Your Excellency Anvis will not blame a friend for his last resort behavior."
Hearing the voice of Anvis's words, Lan Nuo explained helplessly.
"Haha, His Highness Lan Nuo is joking again."
With a polite smile, Anvis waved his hand, and the glasses of cold water on the tray on the table were immediately replaced by various magic drinks.
"However, if you come to meet me in private, won't it bring you any trouble? There should be many people watching you now, right?"
Watching Lan Nuo pick up a glass of light blue starberry juice, Anvis asked casually.
"Yes, but so what?"
Staring at Anvis with intertwined blue and purple eyes, Lan Nuo took a sip of the fragrant and sweet juice in the cup, but tasted like a star as cold as a star, and also smiled.
"I currently do not have the ability to completely prevent their prying eyes. In this case, even if I deliberately do nothing, it will not make any sense. On the contrary, it will more easily arouse suspicion."
"So, you just pretend they don't exist now?"
Anvis hits the nail on the head.
"My forces are still too weak to compete with my brothers. Therefore, unless there are no special circumstances, I will just pretend that they don't exist."
Sitting comfortably opposite Anvis, Lan Nuo sipped the light blue starlight juice and shrugged.
"But they also know what's appropriate. For example, in my meeting with you now, they know that I came to you suddenly, but they can't understand the details of the negotiation process between me and you."
"Because their observation spells cannot penetrate the magical protection of my residence?"
"Because your surname is Olivendi, their mission is only to keep an eye on my whereabouts. There is no need to take the risk of offending you by forcefully snooping here. At most, they can report to me the news that I came here to meet you afterwards.
Those brothers.
But my style of conduct is relatively casual, so even if I suddenly come to chat with you tonight, it won’t be too special."
As he spoke, the purple-black haired boy smiled slightly and raised his glass to greet Anvis.
"The most important thing is, do you know your reputation in Pamir?"
My reputation?
Anvis was startled for a moment, then snapped his fingers and added a layer of highlight to himself.
"A wise man who is profound and wise? Handsome beyond imagination? The perfect dream lover?"
"He is a playboy who doesn't do anything serious, a lazy person who has no family background, and an idealist who escapes from reality!"
His eyelids twitched, Lan Nuo resisted the urge to twitch his cheeks, not wanting to look too rude.
How on earth could this guy say these boastful words without changing his face?
The most important thing is that because of Avis's family background and the charisma brought by his bloodline, these comments he made really exist.
"... Of course, the comments you mentioned do exist, but that is not the key."
Taking a breath slowly, Lan Nuo forced himself to calm down.
"You must also know my situation. I am rated as the weakest prince by outsiders. Almost no one among the nobles is willing to defect to me. All the talents among my classmates have been snatched away by several of my brothers."
"And what does it matter for me like this to come to you like this?"
After drinking the remaining juice in the cup, Lan Nuo put the cup back on the tray lightly. His eyes turned around the room as if unintentionally, taking in the various ancient relics and items placed in the room, and spoke in a thoughtful tone.
refers to.
"A private meeting between the prince who doesn't do business and the descendants of the four major families who don't do business?"
Looking at the frail young man in front of him who looked like some kind of harmless little animal with a rather bewildering temperament, Anvis suddenly burst into laughter.
"So, I wonder what your true intention is, Mr. Lan Nuo?"
"Sir Anvis, I can see that you and I are the same kind of people."
Lan Nuo waved his hand and changed his posture on the sofa.
"Don't rush to deny it, no matter how hard you try to hide it, we are all in this environment of constant fighting, and no one can be independent from the rules of the game.
Now we are only in a mild academy environment. When we graduate from Pamir and enter the real aristocratic game in the future, how can you hide it then?"
Seeing Anvis' expression that had not changed at all, the weak young man with strange-colored eyes sighed, took out a gray-black slate fragment, and placed it on Anvis' table.
The fragment has no magical aura, but there is a strange carving on its surface, which seems to be a twisted vortex or an abstract eye.
"Forget it, I'm not here specifically to discuss life with you.
Five days later, a glorious secret realm that is once in fifty years will be opened. All qualified people can enter and explore. And in this year's exploration, I hope you can join my camp."
"The Secret Realm of Glory is about to open? It's not the Frozen Moon yet, right?"
Glancing at the fragment on the table, Anvis asked in confusion, while quickly recalling the information related to the Glory Secret Realm in his mind.
