Sensing the feeling transmitted from the girl, Avis was slightly startled.
This kind of power seems a bit familiar to him.
Oh, by the way, it seems to be the silver key in the Duke's hand.
"Did you think of something, Avis?"
Noticing Avis's reaction, Claire looked over expectantly.
"Well...this may be a little difficult."
Thinking of the Duke's attitude towards the key as if he were a lover, Anvis touched his chin and couldn't help but start thinking about the possibility of success if he told the Duke that he wanted to lend it out.
"I know that this request of mine may be difficult, but if I rely solely on my strength, I don't know how long it will take to find information related to it.
So, please don’t feel any pressure, Avis, I’m mentally prepared to continue searching for a long time. Even if there is no news for several years or decades, it doesn’t matter.”
Clearly misunderstanding Avis's reply, Claire nodded with 'understanding'.
She has no memory of the whereabouts of that thing. God knows where in the world it is now.
"No, you misunderstood me, Senior Sister Claire."
After coming back to his senses, Anvis shook his head slightly.
"Before talking about the whereabouts of the 'key', I need to ask first, do you have to go to the city of origin [Aina] in person?"
"Yes, a part of me is there. In the memory information I obtained, the star civilization once found it and kept it in the research institute in the City of Origin.
I have to go there and let it merge with me again."
Claire nodded and told Avis her goal without warning.
"That's it..."
After hearing Claire's answer, Anvis was also a little confused.
"Actually, I probably already know what the 'key' you are talking about is."
With that said, Anvis passed on the information about the silver key to the girl through the two of them holding each other's hands.
"That's right! I think that's it! Where is it?"
After sensing that familiar power, Claire suddenly became excited.
Originally, she didn't really have much hope. She just asked Anvis with the idea of giving it a try. She didn't expect that she would get such a significant gain!
"Don't worry about me, Avis, no matter how dangerous a place it is left in, as long as I know its exact whereabouts, I will find a way to get it!"
Gently clenching her fists, Claire raised her face slightly, her white pointed ears trembling, and her eyes were full of determination.
Upon hearing this answer, Claire was also stunned.
The next moment, the half-elf girl was as deflated as a rubber ball, and the look on her face became helpless. She couldn't do it at Anvis's house.
"Don't be discouraged, Claire, I will try to borrow the key from my father. But this may take some time, so I can only trouble you to wait for a while."
Seeing the girl's reaction, Anvis quickly comforted her.
"It's okay, Anvis, I'm very grateful that you are willing to help me with this matter."
Claire took a deep breath, patted her cheek, and cheered up again.
"Then, during this period of time, I will go back to Pamir College to investigate the details about the city of origin [Yayina]. If you have any news, Anvis, you can come to the college to find me."
With that said, Claire stood up lightly and came to squat next to Anvis.
A blush silently climbed to the tip of the girl's ears, and the breeze blew through her pure golden silky hair, sending a trace of wonderful fragrance to Anvis's nose.
"Also, Anvis..."
Under Anvis' surprised gaze, the half-elf girl suddenly gave him a warm hug.
"Thanks--"
.
….….
After separating from Claire, Anwes contacted Duke Carlot and tried to mention that he hoped to borrow the silver key. However, he had just made an initial suggestion and was sternly rejected by the Duke.
"You don't understand what that key means to us, Avis.
That is not my personal property, but one of the heritage of my Olivendi family. I can’t make the decision, and I can’t lend it to anyone, even if that person is you!”
"But, Father, what if I say that we have found the 'door' that is suspected to be related to that key?"
Although the Duke showed no intention of negotiating, Anvis was not discouraged, and he did not lack the leverage to convince the Duke.
"Door?"
After receiving the spiritual message from Anvis, the Duke's eyes became solemn.
"Where exactly is it located?"
"This... I don't know. I may not be able to remember it again until I find it with the key."
Anvis suddenly began to act stupid, his eyes wandering around, but not looking at the Duke.
"You... now is not the time for you to be willful, Avis."
Seeing Anvis's appearance, the Duke couldn't laugh or cry.
"The family will control everything that may be related to that key at all costs. This is not something to joke about.
Let me guess, you have always been at Pamir Academy, and you also have a clone with Fiona, so you shouldn't have discovered this door during your exploration, right?
And you only have three main sources of information. First, the Stranger forces and other intelligence organizations you formed. Second, the clues on a mysterious item you cracked. Third, the friends around you."
Staring at the expression on Anvis's face with his blue eyes, Duke Carrot analyzed it bit by bit.
"First of all, the second possibility can be ruled out.
It is impossible for you to come into contact with a mysterious item that can truly record the characteristics of this level of power in the academy. Because even if you don't know the purpose, it will be collected by high-level professionals and wait for further study in the future."
"Secondly, the first possibility can also be ruled out.
I, the Olivendi family, have been searching for something that has not been found for hundreds of years. It is ridiculous that your intelligence organization has found it only a few years ago. I have not even received any news.
There is a possibility that those strangers might accidentally bump into it, but if they are the ones who got the information, the information about that door may have been spread by now."
"So, someone close to you told you, right?
According to my information, there happens to be an explorer among your classmates. She has found many high-level ancient ruins for you, and the most important thing is that you seemed to have just met her before contacting me.
Let’s meet…”
Looking at Anvis' eyes that gradually became serious, Carlot smiled.
"Then, if I send someone to 'ask' her directly, would it be better than asking you?"
