"Your Majesty, Stargazer, wants to accept you as a student?"
As the stargazer's mini-projection gradually dissipated, Albins looked at Anvis with a strange look.
The meaning in that look is obvious: 'You actually have the talent of the prophecy school?'
"I do have some talent in the school of prophecy, but due to my status, it is not convenient to publicize it to the outside world. Currently, only my parents know about it."
Avis shook his head and excused himself with a more reasonable explanation.
"If I add the gift of prophecy to my status as the biological descendant of Duke Carrot, then there will be a lot of malicious eyes on me."
"So you deliberately chose the mystical school at Wangli Pamir College just to reduce your sense of existence and create a low-key and eccentric persona of a mystical scholar?"
Picking up a glass of emerald berry juice, Albins leaned back casually and shook his head with regret.
"Well, I guess your talent should be very terrifying, but now Stargazer Mian Mian is sleeping. Even if he wants to accept you as his student, I'm afraid he will have to wait until Mian Mian wakes up again.
Also, my teacher wants to contact you through this crystal ball, do you need me to continue to help you activate it?"
"Of course, if there are any other projects that need to be activated behind this crystal ball, I'd like you to do it for me."
Anvis shrugged, decisively showing his safety-focused side.
Albins didn't care and just continued to activate the crystal ball with his mental power.
The miniature projection that appeared this time was Vernica, one of the three speakers of the Magic Council.
Her image is that of a silver-haired, black-eyed woman clad in starlight. The power of flowing time gathers under her feet to form an illusory river connecting end to end, making her body appear hazy in the starlight.
"Anvis Lo Olivendi, I have heard your name for a long time. To be honest, we are a little unclear now as to what attitude we should take towards you."
Looking at Anvis, Vernica spoke softly, but her voice contained the superposition of four voices: old, adult, young, and young.
"Brents warned us before he fell asleep that if we become enemies with you, the Continental Magic Council will suffer an unprecedented blow in the future.
But if we maintain a normal relationship with you, you will become our most important ally when the 'darkness' comes in the future."
"Your Majesty Vernica, I wonder what the 'darkness' you refer to specifically refers to?"
Anvis couldn't help but be a little confused about this word he heard repeatedly from the Stargazer and the Ring of Time and Space.
"I know you will ask this question, but the stargazer did not tell us the details. According to him, spreading information related to it will also speed up its arrival. The more people who know the inside story, the better the future.
Darkness will come sooner."
In response to Anvis's question, Vernica shook her head slightly.
"'Darkness' is something Brentz glimpsed from the future destiny after breaking through the ninth level. Although I do not have the gift of prophecy, as an explorer of infinite time and space, when I look at the future, I also have an unknown destiny.
It feels like it prevents me from pursuing it further.
Mr. Anvis, our bottom line is that there cannot be another prophet who breaks through to the ninth level in this era. That will cause everything to go out of control. No one below the legend can survive the darkness that comes in advance.
And everything we do is to seek a glimmer of hope for mankind from the darkness of the future."
"I know that this process may inevitably conflict with some of your interests, but we can make some compensation for this. We don't really want to be your enemy.
Brentz told us some things about you, and he once said bluntly that there were some things about you that even he couldn't see clearly.
To be honest, it's pretty amazing. No one in all of human history has ever accomplished something like this at your age."
"So, about the Olivendi family..."
As Vernica mentioned this matter, Avis' blue eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze became deep.
"The four major families of the empire will inevitably disappear. This is not a threat from us, but a simple statement.
Just because that is the choice made by history, and it is also the direction in which destiny is heading.
The new era needs the remains of the old era as nourishment to grow, and anyone who stands in the way of the tide of the times is like an ordinary person facing the storm and natural disaster that is sweeping through them, only to be torn apart."
With that said, Vernica ended the topic.
"Finally, Mr. Anvis, there is one more thing. It is probably a piece of advice for you. It is best to stop the federal speaker's plan as soon as possible."
"Stop the Federal Speaker's plan? Does his plan threaten you? What good does this do to me?"
Unsatisfied with Vernica's previous reply, Anvis looked at her coldly.
"I do not deny that the federal speaker's plan will have a negative impact on us, but his plan will only pose a greater threat to you."
Vernica chuckled.
"Of course, this is also what the stargazer said. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I'm just helping him spread the word."
"..."
Avis's eyelids twitched, these Riddler prophets are so annoying.
Oh, it turns out that the Riddler's body has been put to sleep again by him.
That's okay.
"Although I don't know how much strength you have hidden, in the conversation just now, my teacher seemed to treat you as an existence equal to her."
As the crystal ball dimmed again, Albins shook the emerald green goblet in his hand, his eyes becoming a little playful.
"Dear Your Majesty Avis, you are really good at surprising people."
"Well, Your Majesty the Ring of Time and Space has probably seen my future achievements. I am indeed very surprised and ashamed to be valued so highly by Your Majesty."
Anvis said haha, not intending to live up to his words.
"...your hypocritical face is really disgusting."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Albins simply turned his head away from looking at Anvis's proud expression.
"Forget it, apart from the matter of my teacher, you have specifically mentioned to me before, regarding the idea of miniaturizing the [Eternal Core], I already have a preliminary design concept.
But this time, all the materials must be paid for by you. Let me remind you in advance that this design will require a lot of top-notch materials, and I cannot guarantee the success rate. You must prepare several more materials."
"We already have a prototype design, which is great. You can give me a list of the materials I need."
Hearing Albins' words, Anvis immediately sat up straight, his previously false smile instantly put away, and his eyes became serious.
Albins, who was familiar with Anvis's style, also took out the list he had prepared from his space ring and handed it to him.
"Well... Eternal Star Sand, Void Silver, Star Blue Gold, Constant Mirror Spirit, Original Dark Split Crystal..."
Looking at the double-digit names of rare ninth-level materials in the list, as well as a large number of high-level materials, Anvis fell into deep thought.
"Do you only need these? How about I give you ten copies of each ingredient first? If it's not enough, you can come and get it from me."
"...Three copies are enough. No matter how good my design is, there won't be so many fallacies."
After staring at Anvis for a while, Albins spoke quietly.
"I really should submit more ninth-level materials."
