Chapter 489 Reunion and Changes in the Astral Stone Plate

Chapter 489: Reunion and the Changes of the Astral Stone Plate

When the main body finally returned to the Gloria Empire, Anvis' life returned to its previous state.

Fiona welcomed Anvis' return.

Although they had met once before, Anvis had been alone for a long time and she was always worried that her brother would be discovered by the family's enemies.

So, ever since Avis returned to Moonfall Castle, the little blonde girl has almost always been pestering him, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again.

Wherever Anvis went, she followed him, and her clinginess made Anvis feel as if he had a big pet.

Considering that his youngest son, who had been "forced" to live in exile, was finally able to return to the family, it was indeed worth celebrating.

Seeing that Fiona and Avis had such a good relationship, Duke Carrot decided to make an exception and exempt Fiona from her classes for the next few days so that she could spend more time with Avis.

At the same time, the Duke and Duchess secretly contacted their other three children, vaguely mentioned Anvis's return, and suggested that the three return to the castle to celebrate together.

Although it was announced to the public that Fiona was missing, as descendants of the Duke, the real missing person was Anvis, and the Duke did not hide it from them for too long.

So, after arranging the affairs of their respective territories and the Knights Templar, the Duke's family finally enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together after a long absence.

"Anvis, I heard from my father that you were taken away by a ninth-order ultimate warrior. Would you mind telling me about your experience in the Federation? I'm curious about how you escaped from the enemy."

During the dinner, accompanied by soothing classical black and white harpsichord music, Avis's eldest brother Raymont held a glass of Moon Shadow juice with a light blue halo and asked Avis curiously.

He is a handsome young man with short light blond hair and purple eyes like his mother Elena, and he also inherited his mother's cheerful personality.

Hearing Evan's question, Avis's second brother Evan and third sister Alanis also perked up.

They were all quite curious about Avis's experiences in the Itel Kingdom Federation during this period, but since Avis had just returned, no one had had time to ask.

"Of course, Brother Raymont."

Avis had already anticipated what he might encounter after his return. At this moment, facing everyone's curiosity, Avis slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and then calmly began to tell the story.

"In fact, I was able to escape at that time because of some luck. Do you remember the attack on the Circle of Truth that occurred in the Kingdom of Nice not long after I was taken away by the enemy?"

Seeing everyone's thoughtful eyes, Avis picked up a cup of magic spring water, took a sip, and confirmed everyone's vague guess.

"Yes, I was taken to that underground base by the enemy at that time. According to the intelligence I collected there, the enemy should be an ancient organization of the Federation called 'Door in the Eye'.

Not long after I was captured there, the legendary resistance organization 'Circle of Truth' suddenly raided the base, and the enemy leader was also lured away by the ninth level of the Circle of Truth, so I was able to escape in the chaos."

“Is that so?”

After listening to Avis' description, everyone looked at each other and felt a little surprised.

They naturally knew about the incident, but they didn't expect that it was one of the secret bases of the Door to the Eye.

Then, Avis talked about some of the more representative things in his own experience, such as how he disguised his identity and temporarily lived in seclusion in the Silver Moon Kingdom after escaping, how he studied the principles of crystallization disease, and how he joined the Embers organization.

"The Circle of Truth again?"

After listening to Anvis's narration, Duke Carrot frowned instinctively.

Previously, after the mysterious and powerful man of the Ring of Truth single-handedly eliminated the Speaker of the Federation and prevented Maelim from coming, discussions about the Ring of Truth at the regular meetings of the nobles had never stopped.

As the current Duke of Karlas of the Empire, he was extremely wary of this mysterious and powerful legendary resistance organization, even though the other party's actions 'accidentally' saved Anvis.

"Anvis, when the people from the Circle of Truth raided the base, did you notice any information that could help identify their true identity?"

"This... Unfortunately, I was so busy escaping that I didn't get any information about it, father."

Facing Duke Carrot's gaze, Anvis showed a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he shook his head, as if he really couldn't think of any valuable information.

The Circle of Truth alias is still very important in his next plan, so it is not convenient to reveal it to the Duke for the time being.

"Yes, I understand."

Duke Carrot did not doubt him. After all, he had only asked casually without any hope. If Anvis noticed something at that time, it would be a surprise. Even if he did not, it was also reasonable.

After the dinner, Avis finally said goodbye to the reluctant girl and returned to his own room.

At the beginning of the Hearthfire Month, Purple Moon Amis was still in a special crescent state. Among the stars, only Severn, like a thin sickle, hung in the night sky.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The cold moonlight poured into the room through the open window, flowing over the surface of the pearl wood desk, and covering everything on the desktop with a layer of silver gauze.

Sitting at the desk, Avis took out an ancient pale blue stone plate and observed it carefully under the moonlight.

The surface of the stone plate was inlaid with five gems of different colors. Under the hazy moonlight, the strange inscriptions engraved on the stone plate glowed with a faint silver light, and the material seemed to be translucent, making it look extremely mysterious.

That was the stellar stone disk that Fiona gave to Avis. After Avis's research, he noticed that whenever the silver moon's light was covering the stone disk and the purple moon was not visible, the stone disk would show special changes.

However, it seemed that the power of destiny gathered in the stone disk was insufficient, and the changes in the stone disk only showed signs and then could not continue.

Using the ripples of fate caused by his breakthrough to the eighth-level prophet, Anvis arranged a special secret ritual to forcibly accelerate the process of the stone plate gathering the power of fate.

At present, in his perception, the progress of the stone plate in collecting the power of destiny has reached about 80%. If there are no special changes, it should be completely completed within the next few years.

After studying it for a while, Avis put away the stone plate and began to analyze his next plan of action.

What he had done before was still effective. Thanks to his intervention, his brothers and sisters are still safe and sound, and the Door to the Eye, one of the masterminds behind the incident in his previous life, was also hit.

However, the threat facing the family has not actually been eliminated.

The stargazer was merely injured and was in seclusion, and would recover in a few decades at most. Due to the feedback received from the previous wide-ranging blessing of destiny, the recovery time might even be shortened again.

Although the Door in the Pupil had to remain dormant under the continuous blows, its main body was not actually seriously damaged.

Although the speaker who was suspected to be the leader of the other party was sealed by the old secret book, the other party now has a gray fog between the eighth and ninth level prophet. After waiting for the current crackdown to pass, it can still be restored secretly.
