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 721 Key
"This power..."
Sensing the feeling transmitted by the girl, Avis was slightly stunned.
He seemed somewhat familiar with this power.
Oh, yes, it seems to be the silver key in the Duke's hand.
"Did you think of anything, Avis?"
Noticing Avis's reaction, Claire looked over expectantly.
"Well... this may be a little difficult."
Thinking of the Duke's attitude towards the key as if it were a lover, Avis touched his chin and began to wonder in his heart what the chances of success would be if he told the Duke that he wanted to borrow it.
“I know that this request of mine may be difficult, but if I rely on my own strength, I am afraid I don’t know how long it will take to find the relevant information.
So, please don't feel any pressure, Avis. I'm mentally prepared to keep searching for a long time. Even if there's no news for several years or even decades, it doesn't matter."
Clearly misunderstanding Avis's response, Claire nodded in 'understanding'.
She didn't even remember the whereabouts of that thing, and God knew where in the world it was now.
"No, you misunderstood me, Senior Claire."
Coming back to his senses, Avis shook his head slightly.
"Before talking about the whereabouts of the 'key', I need to ask you first, do you have to go to the city of origin [Yina] in person?"
“Yes, a part of me is there. According to the memory information I obtained, the Star Civilization once found it and kept it in the research institute of the City of Origin.
I have to go and let it rejoin me.”
Claire nodded and told Avis her goal without any precautions.
“I see…”
After hearing Claire's answer, Avis was also a little troubled.
"Actually, I think I already know what the 'key' you're talking about is."
As he spoke, through the hands of the two of them holding each other, Avis passed the information about the silver key to the girl.
"Yes! I think that's it! Where is it?"
After sensing that familiar power, Claire suddenly became excited.
Originally, she didn't have much hope, she just came to ask Avis for help with the idea of giving it a try, but she didn't expect to get such a great reward! "Don't worry about me, Avis, no matter how dangerous the place is, as long as I know its exact whereabouts, I will find a way to get it!"
Claire clenched her fists lightly and raised her face slightly, her white pointed ears trembling and her eyes full of determination.
"That's not the case."
Seeing Claire's fighting spirit, Avis' eyelids twitched.
"It is now... in my father's hands."
"Anvis's...father?"
Claire was also stunned when she heard this answer.
The next moment, the half-elf girl deflated like a ball, and the expression on her face became helpless. She couldn't just force her way into Avis's house.
"Don't be discouraged, Claire. I will try to borrow the key from my father. But it may take some time. I can only trouble you to wait for a while."
Seeing the girl's reaction, Avis quickly comforted her.
"It's okay, Avis, I'm already very grateful that you're willing to help me with this matter."
Claire took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and pulled herself together.
"Well, during this time, I will go back to Pamir College to investigate the details of the City of Origin [Yaina]. If you have any news, Avis, you can come to the college to find me."
As she spoke, Claire stood up lightly and squatted next to Avis.
A blush silently climbed up the girl's ears, and the breeze blew through her soft, pure golden hair, bringing a hint of wonderful fragrance to Anvis's nose.
"And, Avis..."
Under Avis's somewhat surprised gaze, the half-elf girl suddenly gave him a warm hug.
"Thank you--" ........ After separating from Claire, Avis contacted Duke Carrot and tried to ask for the silver key. However, he was sternly rejected by the Duke just after he mentioned it .
"You don't understand what that key means to us, Avis.
That is not my personal property, but one of the assets of my Olivendi family. I cannot decide and cannot lend it to anyone, even if that person is you!"
"But, father, what if I say that we have found a 'door' that is suspected to be related to the key?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Although the Duke seemed completely unwilling to negotiate, Anvis was not discouraged. He also had the bargaining chips to persuade the Duke.
"Door?"
After receiving the spiritual message from Anvis, the Duke's eyes became serious.
"Where exactly is it located?"
"This... I don't know either. Maybe I won't be able to remember it until I find the place with the key."
Anvis suddenly started to act stupid, his eyes wandering around, but he didn't look at the Duke.
"You...now is not the time for you to be willful, Anvis."
Seeing Anvis's look, the Duke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
“The family will do whatever it takes to keep control of anything that may be related to that key. This is not something that can be joked about.
Let me guess, you were always in Pamir College, and there was an avatar in Fiona's place, so this door should not be found by you during the expedition, right? And you only have three main sources of information, first, the foreigner forces you formed and other intelligence organizations. Second, the clues on a mysterious item you cracked. Third, your friends around you. "
Duke Carrot analyzed the expression on Anvis's face with his blue eyes.
“First, the second possibility can be ruled out.
You will never come across a mysterious item that can truly record the characteristics of this level of power in the academy. Because even if the purpose is unknown, it will be collected by high-level professionals for future research."
“Secondly, the first possibility can also be ruled out.
It's ridiculous that something my Olivendi family has been searching for for hundreds of years but couldn't find was found by your intelligence organization which was established only a few years ago, and I didn't even receive any news.
Those strangers might have a chance of seeing it by accident, but if they were the ones who got the news, the information about the door would have spread by now."
“So, someone close to you told you that, right?
According to my information, there happens to be an explorer among your classmates. She has found many high-level ancient ruins for you, and most importantly, you seemed to have just met her before you contacted me..."
Seeing Anvis's increasingly serious gaze, Carrot smiled.
"So, if I send someone to 'ask' her directly, would that be better than asking you?"
There is another chapter in the evening (end of this chapter)
