Chapter 46: Thoughts

August, 28th.

Avis was sitting in the library reading magic books as usual.

Four days later, he would leave Moon Castle and head to Pamir Academy.

While flipping through the book, Anvis recalled in his mind what good things there were in Pamir Academy and what the conditions for obtaining them were.

After all, the power of one person is not enough, and it is not convenient to mobilize family power to handle some key matters.

Perhaps he could recruit some talented people in the academy and establish a small secret society to help him deal with some things that he is not convenient to handle personally in the future.

There are also magic versions of mass-energy conversion weapons and electromagnetic weapons projects that need to be put on the agenda...

“Squeak—”

The sound of a door opening suddenly came from a distance. Avis paused and turned to look in confusion.

The dazzling figure of the blonde girl appeared at the door against the light from outside.

"elder brother--"

Fiona walked briskly to Avis' side, looking very happy.

Since the lockdown ended half a month ago, Fiona has been taking Annie out every afternoon, and no one knows what they are doing.

Since Anvis had obtained the permission to read the prophecy book, he spent every day in the library these days, so he didn't pay attention to the girl's whereabouts.

"Hi, dear Fei, why do you feel like coming here today?"

Looking at the girl's excited look, Avis looked puzzled.

Did the sun finally rise from the west? "..."

Hearing the surprise in Avis's tone, the girl couldn't help but feel angry. She put her slender hands on her waist and pursed her pink lips.

But then she realized that her action was a bit rude, and quickly put her hand down, staring at Avis with dissatisfaction in her big watery eyes.

"Haha, just kidding! Don't mind, Fei, it's great that you can come here. Otherwise, it would be a bit lonely with only me in the library."

Knowing that he had said something wrong, Avis quickly corrected himself.

"snort--"

Fiona snorted lightly, sparing Avis this time, but her mood unknowingly returned to being cheerful.

Then the girl sat next to Anvis and told him why she was there.

"Brother, do you know bluebells~"

"Bluebells?"

Avis raised his hand and pinched his chin, thinking for a moment.

"Campanula, scientific name σ①, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the plant kingdom, common plant system, natural plant class, flowering plant phylum, dicotyledon class, zygopetalous subclass, Campanula orders, Campanulaceae, Campanulaceae subfamily, Campanula genus, often growing in patches...

The entire plant is glabrous, with basal leaves, linear to linear-lanceolate, narrow and flexible, about 18 to 24 cm long and 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide; the pedicel is 20 to 30 cm high, slightly curved outward, with lanceolate bracts shorter than the pedicels.

The pedicel is 0.8 to 1.2 cm long, with a racemose inflorescence, drooping, and a bell-shaped corolla. The flowers are white, about 1.5 cm long and 1.2 cm wide. The lobes are ovate-triangular, with sharp tips and one vein. The flowering period is between the rainy month and the golden month..."

"The seeds are obovate-lanceolate, dark brown, about 0.5 to 0.8 cm long and 1.8 to 2 mm wide. There are small thorns on the upper part and small tubercles arranged in rows on the lower part. The top gradually shrinks to a conical to cylindrical beak base about 1 mm long. The beak is 1.4 to 1.8 cm long and slender; the pappus is white, about 0.8 to 1.1 cm long. The fruiting period is between Zhongyang month and Luhuo month..."

Listening to Avis's story, Fiona felt a little dizzy, as if she was back in the magic materials class.

"No... I'm talking about other things... like legends or something like that."

"legend?"

Avis was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know what the legend of bluebells was.

After all, this is just an ordinary plant, and the introduction to it in botanical books will not include unverified legends.

“That, I really don’t know.”

"Hehe——So there are things you don't know, brother? Actually..."

The girl smiled with some complacency, and told Anvis the story she had heard from the old man selling straw weavings, as if she were presenting a treasure.

"If you find the nine-bell bellflower, you will be blessed with happiness and longevity..."

Avis couldn't help but laugh. He knew that the nine-flowered bluebell was very rare, but to say that finding it would bring happiness and longevity...

There is no similar statement either in the school of prophecy or in the field of occultism.

If it really has this effect, then how is it possible that no mysterious scholar has discovered this in the nearly ten thousand years of human magic history? Anweisi's view is more inclined to: this is a logical fallacy caused by personal subjective judgment.

It is not the 'nine-flowered bluebell' that brings happiness and longevity, but the good luck of the person who can find it.

After all, being able to find the rare nine-flowered bluebell flower means that the person is extremely lucky.

A lucky person is happy and long-lived. Is there anything wrong with that? It's like the famous saying in the past life: "People who love to laugh will never have bad luck."

In fact, it is not because you love to laugh that you have good luck. Rather, it is because you have good luck that you love to laugh.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

How can a contestant who is unlucky all day long possibly laugh?

"That's amazing, Fei. This is the first time I've heard of this legend."

However, as a reborn person who has a little understanding of etiquette and psychology, Anvis did not express his views directly. Instead, he smiled gently and praised Fiona's knowledge.

"Hehe...it's nothing."

After receiving Avis's praise, the girl proudly raised her little face and revealed a lovely smile, with her long, soft hair like sunshine falling naturally on both sides.

Then, under Avis's somewhat surprised gaze, the girl took a deep breath and suddenly took out an item from her ring and placed it on the table.

It was a rectangular solid, 70 centimeters long, 40 centimeters wide, and 60 centimeters high. The whole thing was made up of light brown vines two fingers thick, some of which had tender green leaves growing on them.

A thumb-sized light green crystal is embedded in the center of the upper surface of the cuboid.

"What's this?"

Avis looked at the vine rectangle in confusion, then cast an inquiring look at the girl.

But the girl did not immediately answer Avis's doubts. Instead, she stretched out her hand with a mysterious smile, lightly touched the light green crystal, and injected a trace of mental power into it.

The crystal was immediately activated, emitting a light green light, and a steady stream of life magic was immediately input into the box.

It seemed to have triggered some kind of chain reaction. From top to bottom, the originally dim vines gradually lit up, and the texture became like jade.

The upper vines began to stretch out, sprouting tender leaves made of pure light, and even hanging strings of green crystal-like buds at the tips.

Eventually, the cuboid became a flowerpot of blooming light vines, with a vibrant bluebell swaying slightly in the center.

Crystal clear water droplets hang on the emerald green leaves and white flowers, reflecting a wonderful light under the light of the magic crystal chandelier.

There are exactly nine swaying wind chimes, not one more, not one less.

"Fei, this..."

Looking at the bluebells in front of him, Avis was completely stunned.

"How is it? Isn't it amazing——"

Fiona raised her head slightly with pride, and looked at Avis expectantly. Her two big lake-blue eyes didn't blink, as if they were saying "Praise me now!"
