"Furthermore, this status is only in name. In fact, you belong to me directly, and you do not need to actually perform the duties of a guest in the family.
For example, performing some tasks assigned by the family, defending the family when foreign enemies attack, etc."
“But on the contrary, when you obtain any new research results, you need to share them with me first.
And I will pay you extra compensation based on the value of these results."
"..."
Listening to Anvis's invitation, Albins thought quickly in his mind.
Although he still had doubts about Anvis's true purpose, he already believed in this explanation.
There is no way, once it comes to the prophet, many things make no sense.
Judging from a purely rational perspective, Anvis's invitation is actually very beneficial to their current situation.
Pamir's annual tuition is 60,000 imperial gold coins. The two siblings, who are from ordinary mercenary families, don't even have enough money to pay for the tuition.
Originally, the two had planned to sign a contract with the college in exchange for tuition-free admission.
But now, Anvis's conditions are obviously more favorable.
Although tuition fees are waived, the free amount of materials for each advanced magic experiment for each student is only enough for the basic courses.
If you want to go further in private, you need to spend extra money to purchase the required experimental materials.
But even a small, short-term conventional magic experiment can easily cost hundreds of gold coins in materials, not to mention those bottomless pit-like long-term experiments and special experiments.
Magic and miracles are never free.
"...Can you give me some time to think about it?"
After a moment of silence, Albins spoke cautiously.
"Of course, we are friends, aren't we?"
Seeing his reaction, Anvis smiled and made a "please" gesture gracefully.
Then, he looked at the two of them and spoke calmly.
"Actually, I can guess some of your concerns. If it were elsewhere, you two would be very right to be cautious, but here, there is actually no need to be too nervous."
Having said this, Avis paused for a moment, looked at Albins who had a serious expression, and then at Hillier who had a somewhat unnatural expression, taking in the two people's expressions at this moment.
Then, he spoke slowly and said something that shocked the two of them.
"In Pamir, every new student with a non-aristocratic background who can enroll is special."
………
During the journey ahead, the atmosphere between the three of them became a little awkward. Even Hillier, who was originally lively, fell silent at this moment, her eyes wandering around, wondering what she was thinking.
Realizing that this 'accidental encounter' was no longer suitable to continue, Anvis exchanged identity marks with the two, and then made excuses to say goodbye.
"Cylier, Albins, I'll take my leave now. If you don't mind, I recommend you go to the Olivendi Chamber of Commerce to buy the items you need."
With that said, Anvis took out the black space ring and handed it to Hillier with a smile.
"When checking out, just give this ring to the person in charge and you will get a half-price discount."
"this……"
Hillier was stunned for a moment, looked at Avis, and then glanced at Albins, with a somewhat hesitant expression.
"Please don't refuse, this is just a kindness as a friend."
Anvis smiled warmly and kept reaching out to hand out the ring.
The soft smile was reflected in the fruit-green eyes, making the girl's cheeks become rosy again.
"Ah...that...ok..."
Hillier reached out and took the ring, and when she turned her hand over, their fingertips accidentally brushed against each other, and the girl's whole body trembled as if she had been electrocuted.
Albins took a deep breath and turned his head slightly, pretending not to see the embarrassment of his nymphomaniac sister.
"Well, Hillier, Albins, good-bye—"
"Goodbye, Avis——"
After saying goodbye to each other, looking at Anvis's retreating back, Albins couldn't help but feel a faint sense of frustration in his heart.
This feeling appeared for the first time since he and his sister accidentally entered the ruins and resolutely chose to use the only tube of silver liquid with unknown effects as a test object.
"What should I do? Do you want to agree to Avis's proposal?"
Hillier hesitated for a moment and asked her brother in a low voice.
"We...actually have no choice."
Albins was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth to explain.
"Although I don't know what the prophet of the Olivendi family predicted, but if Anvis can speak specifically, I'm afraid I will be really special in the future.
And now, we have learned about the prophecy, if we still choose to refuse. Think about it for a moment, sister, if you were Avis, what would you do?"
"Oh, well... maybe... respect your friends' choices... right?"
Hillier was stunned and said with some uncertainty. But as she spoke, her voice gradually began to get smaller and her tone became more hesitant.
"Sister, you should have already guessed some of the consequences if we don't agree?"
Albins sighed softly.
"As for the so-called consideration time, it is just to preserve some dignity for both of us."
.….….
Anvis is not worried about whether his actions will change Albins' future destiny.
Such a genius will never be buried due to some changes in the external environment.
On the contrary, with the funding from Anvis, I am afraid that many of the results of his previous life will be available earlier.
Even if we take a step back and say that Albins is really content to be a waste house and no longer engage in magic research because he has money, Avis will not be at a loss.
According to the normal historical trend, Albins will not stand in the camp of the four major families, but will instead belong to the Continental Magic Council, one of the enemies behind the scenes.
Moreover, more than one research breakthrough that led to the construct's ability to pose a threat to high-level professionals and directly shake the absolute deterrence of ninth-level experts was all due to his handiwork.
Without those key breakthroughs, it is unclear whether the threat posed by the construct to high-level professionals exists.
And what did Avis pay for?
Just a few insignificant gold coins and resources——
After parting ways with the two of them, Anvis stopped the special effect of his bloodline to passively attract surrounding light elements, and directly returned to the mission hall on the floating disk.
Following the example of other seniors, after accepting a task of collecting unlimited credits with 30 gold coins, he casually accepted a task of collecting Dark Stone Heart with 80 points of credits.
Afterwards, Anvis took out the materials on the spot and submitted the task. The credits in the identity card were no longer zero.
After everything was taken care of, Anvis returned to his residence.
The secondary residence of the college is an independent two-story building, which does not occupy a large area but has a very elegant environment.
Classic wooden shutters, a light blue tiled sloping roof with skylights, and a few light blue rose bushes dotted in the magic garden, everything welcomes the arrival of the new owner.
