After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 560 The Road Ahead
"Well... I don't mean that you shouldn't use equipment now. Just... don't rely too much on their power."
Alanis stamped her feet lightly in distress. She didn't know how to explain to Avis. As the leader of the Knights of the Cold Wind, she was not good at verbal battles.
Of course, the girl thought that the dangerous situation Avis mentioned referred to the unknown enemies in this secret realm, and Avis was also aware of this.
"Anyway, it's good that you understand what I mean. Whether it's a summoned creature or an alchemical golem, they can all be controlled by the enemy. Only the sword in your hand will not betray you."
"I will."
Avis nodded again with a smile, ending the topic.
If you want to end a topic as quickly as possible, what you need to do is not to express your opposing opinion, but to agree with the other person's statement with a sincere expression.
If he wanted to increase his own strength, what he needed was closely related to external objects.
Alanis's path was completely different from his. His third sister took the path of a knight, which was the path of the heart. It was similar to those warriors who used everything to polish themselves, forging themselves into the strongest sword and reaching a state of inner clarity.
This is a road full of thorns, but it is also a bright and smooth path that leads directly to the root. Most protagonists and children of destiny take this path.
A mage like him, who calculates this and that all day long and has an extremely complicated mind, can almost be isolated from this path.
Avis knew very well that this was where he was inferior to Alanis.
His strength was almost entirely raised by relying on the old secret scriptures. Although his fighting ability was very strong, he still did not have a path that truly belonged to him.
It was the same with little Anvis in his previous life. Although he grew to the seventh level smoothly by relying on the power of his bloodline, he still did not have his own path and could only indulge in magic research.
In this life, he still faces this problem.
There is a widely circulated saying among high-level professionals: bloodline determines the lower limit, and the path determines the upper limit.
If your bloodline is strong enough, it's okay not to find your own path, but the speed of improving your strength will be slower, for example, it will take a few hundred more years.
Relying on the old secret scriptures, Anvis was able to forcibly avoid the limitations on improving his hard power, but the problem fell on the improvement of his prophet level.
The speed of his improvement was too fast, resulting in his overall lack of familiarity with the path of a prophet.
It was a feeling of confusion, completely different from the eighth level where only the power of destiny was required to meet the standard. It was as if there was no road ahead.
Avis understood the way Gray Mist tried to break through, and he also had a general idea of the various conditions required to break through to become a ninth-level prophet.
However, he just couldn't find that 'feeling'.
The old secret scriptures could not help him in this regard. He had to find his own way and his own path.
"Let's go find other people first and find out what the current situation in the Glorious Secret Realm is like. We can also meet up with Landon and the others on the way."
At this time, Prince Lannuo stepped forward, his eyes that were a blend of blue and purple were filled with a sunny and harmless look, and he put forward his ideas in a negotiating tone.
After seeing the hidden strength of Avis's men, he silently raised Avis' threat level by one level again.
If the two of them fall out in the future, the best way is to control Avis's body as soon as possible, otherwise their side will inevitably suffer huge losses.
"Mr. Anvis, Ms. Alanis, what do you think?"
"I have no objection."
Avis was still thinking about the path of the prophet, and he didn't care when he heard the prince trying to gain a dominant position. Alanis considered Lanno's status as an imperial prince and didn't intend to oppose him for such a small matter.
So, Lan Nuo temporarily took over the command of the team, and the group began to explore the ruins.
Since the scope of the secret realm has been reduced to the size of a city, with the strength of everyone, they were able to quickly investigate the current situation.
The temporary alliance's attack on the central tower was very large, and with the guarantee of the high-level prophet and the example set by the third princess Xingguang herself, the vast majority of people believed the prophecy and were ready to take down the core tower as she suggested and nip the threat in the bud.
But not everyone participated in the operation. A small number of people stayed behind to guard the rear positions. In case the main force's attack on the tower failed, they could leave a retreat route for rest.
Along the way, Anphis and his group reunited with Landon and his group. They gathered together to discuss their next goal.
“I am very familiar with the style of the prophet next to my third sister. If it is not absolutely necessary, he will never go out in person, but will stay in the safe rear position.
The most likely reason for the current situation is that, as he predicted, the rear positions are not safe."
After obtaining the information, Prince Lannuo came to the conclusion instantly.
"All high-level predictors are similar. No matter how powerful they are, they basically only dare to guide the development of things in secret and never take action personally."
Alanis also spoke, but her tone was a little disdainful, as if she disagreed with the prophets' style of doing things.
"Then let's head to that tower as well. We can't let Her Highness the Princess fight alone."
Listening to his third sister's frank comments on the prophet, Avis smiled a little awkwardly. It was just for safety's sake.
However, there is no problem in going to the tower. The actions of the priest must be stopped. The other party has invested so much, so his ambition must be great.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"We agree, too."
Landon spoke as the temporary leader of the trio. Due to the existence of Dark Crow, his current knowledge deserves this position.
The only pity is that he didn't seem to find what he was looking for.
Anvis expressed deep regret over this.
After confirming the target, everyone immediately took action.
There were no obstacles along the way and everyone quickly returned to the door of the tower.
The surrounding environment was filled with cracks from bombardment and traces of magical destruction. Some of the remains of houses originally built near the tower had been completely flattened by the aftermath of the impact.
The flow of elements in the air was very chaotic. A pile of black matter whose original shape could not be seen was piled on one side of the tower, and was still wriggling slightly unconsciously.
The tower door was now wide open, and one could faintly sense the strong magical fluctuations within.
There was no need to say much. After everyone adjusted to their strongest state, they entered with caution.
A layer has been covered with dark green sticky flesh and blood and broken golem fragments, mixed with a lot of pale green dust and light black ice crystals decomposed by magic.
After a quick look, everyone quickly went up to the second floor.
"Who?"
When they reached this level, two professionals guarding the passage quickly stopped everyone. After Prince Lan Nuo revealed his identity, the two informed everyone of the latest situation.
In the early stage, after relying on everyone's trump cards to quickly take over the two floors, a large number of enemies poured out from the passage on the upper level. Led by three extremely powerful strange beings, they completely stopped everyone.
Logically speaking, if everyone tried their best, they could completely kill these three alien creatures at a certain cost.
However, due to the enemy's previous focus on attacking conservatives, everyone was still wary of each other and did not dare to put their own safety in the hands of others.
The enemy seemed to be afraid or waiting for something, and was more focused on distracting the crowd rather than really attacking them with all their strength.
As both sides had concerns, the situation came to a standstill for a while.
At present, the third princess and others are relying on the third floor of the tower as their position and engaging in a fierce battle with the enemies on the top floor.
