Chapter 518 True and False

"What's going on? Did you notice anything wrong?"

As Anvis was preparing to act, Marquis Draka, who was thinking about the details of the next plan in his study, suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He didn't think that this was just an illusion. As a ninth-level professional, the sudden feeling in his heart often represented some kind of omen.

So he summoned Shadow again, ready to inquire about the current progress.

"The people from the two major families are already on their way. Atno Alfred has also been successfully controlled by us. He is ready to return to the family with the Sword of the Chosen King at any time. There is enough time for him to arrive at the Alfred family before the envoys from the other two major families."

"Um...wait, Etno Alfred?"

When he heard the name, in the darkness of the study, Marquis Draka suddenly frowned.

He suddenly thought of something: Could it be that the other party was just pretending to be hypnotized, and was actually waiting for a chance to escape? "Wait, where is he now? I'll go check it out myself."

Thinking of this, the Marquis could no longer sit still.

Etno played a very important role in his plan, and he even gave the Sword of the King to him. If he was really just pretending to be hypnotized, then he would have handed the Sword of the King to the Alfred family for nothing!

"I understand. Please follow me, Marquis."

Although puzzled by the Marquis's sudden inspection, Shadow still carried out his orders meticulously.

For her, besides the orders from God, the orders from the Marquis are the highest priority.

After a while, they passed through a long rock corridor engraved with secret patterns and arrived in front of a "secret room" made entirely of a special alloy.

This secret room has no doors or windows, and the only way in and out is through a special ultra-short-distance teleportation array. The long-missing Atno Alfred is currently trapped inside.

Shadow led the Marquis to the teleportation array with familiarity. After detecting the mental fluctuations of Marquis Draka, the teleportation array immediately started to operate.

The scene flashed, and the surrounding environment turned into a small, dim space. A young man with light blond hair and purple eyes sat quietly on the bed in the middle of the room, with no reaction to the sudden appearance of the two people.

The walls were engraved with dense and tiny runes, and a huge super magic crystal shone like a star on the top of the secret room, emitting a cold light with a blue tinge. It was the energy core of many magic pattern circuits and the only light source in the room.

After entering here, Marquis Draka's eyes instantly fell on Etno, and he checked him thoroughly and carefully.

However, after checking, Marquis Draka found that the other party's mind was indeed in a deep hypnotic state.

That kind of numb feeling from the soul cannot be faked. He had seen many people who had been hypnotized before. After going through enough samples, he had experience in whether a person was pretending to obey.

"Okay, get ready to teleport."

After eliminating his worries, Marquis Draka glanced at the Sword of the King Chosen in the other's hand, which looked like a stone sculpture, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In fact, the design of this secret room was not only to prevent Alfred's whereabouts from being predicted by Atno, but more to hide the whereabouts of the Sword of the Chosen King.

As an epic artifact, the "presence" of the Sword of the Chosen King is much stronger than that of Atno himself.

Even if it is placed in a space object, it cannot conceal its aura like a star in the night sky. Even if it is thrown into a micro demiplane, it cannot be isolated from the detection of prophecy magic, but will directly expose the spatial coordinates of the demiplane.

Based on the inscription structure of the special instrument found in the ruins, Marquis Draka spent a huge amount of resources to create this special fully enclosed secret room.

Next, the sword will be teleported to the area near the Alfred family along with Atno Alfred, ensuring that its whereabouts can be discovered by the envoys of the two families when it returns to the family.

"By the way, please pay more attention to his condition and don't let anything unexpected happen at this time."

Before leaving, Marquis Draka thought about it and gave some instructions with some concern, telling Shadow to be prepared.

"As you command, Lord Marquis."

After nodding respectfully, Shadow moved his mind, and Atno suddenly stood up in a daze, walked mechanically to the teleportation array, and then disappeared in a burst of light.

Shadow waved his hand in preparation, and an illusory round mirror appeared in front of the two of them. What was presented in the mirror was the perspective of Etno's surroundings.

After leaving the secret room, the young man with blond hair and purple eyes shuddered, and then his eyes suddenly became clear and he quickly looked around.

Steep gray-white rock mountains, lush silver oak forests, and a large crescent-shaped lake on one side. Gray-white rocks in groups of two or three are suspended near the lake, covered with tender green vegetation.

Aitno was very familiar with this place; it was the Silver Moon Lake, a famous wonder in the province of Paravani.

Those floating rocks are not suspended by themselves, but are affected by the magical force field of the lake itself.

But most importantly, this place is not far from the Alfred family’s residence.

Because his mind was distorted by hypnotic magic, Atno always believed that he had obtained the Sword of the Chosen King at the last moment, but was caught up in the aftermath of the ruins' self-destruction.

Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also swept into the depths of the Endless Sea by the chaotic space turbulence. It was not until now that he finally found his direction and returned to the Yar continent.

However, when he thought of the Sword of the Chosen King that he had brought back from the ruins after surviving a near-death experience, he felt that it was all worth it.

With a burning heart, he touched the space ring hanging on his chest, and was about to send a message to contact his family to pick him up.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Uncle Weller."

When he saw the person coming, Etno was stunned for a moment, and then quickly saluted him.

The other party was a veteran ninth-rank official of the Alfred family. Apart from the head of the Alfred family, he was usually the one who came forward to deal with some of the problems faced by the family.

"snort--"

However, after Wheeler nodded, his eyes suddenly turned, as if looking in some empty direction.

But the two people who were observing through the magic mirror were slightly startled. It seemed that the other party's gaze penetrated the mirror and saw the two people behind the mirror.

Following a cold snort from the other party, the mirror shattered instantly, and even Shadow's aura suddenly became a little disordered.

"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis."

Without considering his own situation, Shadow immediately apologized to Marquis Draka.

"No need, this is enough. You can't spy on him without being discovered."

However, the Marquis did not blame her for this.

As the opponent is a veteran ninth-level warrior, it is normal for Shadow's peeping magic to be detected and countered immediately.

Then, the Sword of the Chosen King and the Ninth Order of the Alfred Family appeared together in Silver Moon Lake. I guess the people from the other two major families who will be passing by there soon will also find out about it, right? Thinking of this, the corners of the Marquis' mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but have a reverie in his heart.

I really want to see with my own eyes what kind of expressions the other three families will have when they learn that the Sword of the King Chosen is in the Alfred family.

On the other side, with the secret cooperation of the shadow, Avis, disguised as Willer, quickly controlled Atno, and then skillfully took out the real Sword of the Chosen King from the ring on his chest, and then put a replica in as a replacement.

Admiring the gray-white rock sword in his hand, Avis smiled.

I wonder what Marquis Draka's expression would be when he found out that the Sword of the Kingchooser had been swapped. It must have been very interesting.

Let Shadow simulate it afterwards.

Gugu, there is another chapter in the evening
