Chapter 743 Return and Plan

His consciousness returned to his body in the main material world. Avis opened his eyes and digested the information he had gained this time.

Gray Mist's last sentence revealed quite important information.

He would break through in less than a month.

Although this sentence may have many interpretations, twenty-nine days is less than a month, and one day is also less than a month.

But Gray Mist left an invitation afterwards, and now other prophets were no longer a threat to him, so there was no need for him to deliberately hide anything about the breakthrough time.

Less than a month, probably closer to a month actually.

For high-level masters, this was already a very short period of time. It was even possible that a month would pass by when they were doing a small magic experiment or preparing a slightly complicated magic ritual.

However, more things can happen in a month than one might imagine. . ….….Different from controlling the floating city and dealing with the ninth-orders, listening to the Hermit's explanation of the current situation and attending the gathering of the prophet did not take up much of Avis' time and energy.

While he was using a trace of his consciousness to listen in, his body, which remained in the main material world, was also dealing with Fiona's problem.

The war that broke out again in the Star Territory ended about half a day ago. The ninth-level apostles of the Songxing Esoteric Cult were ultimately defeated and completely routed by the nine-level tripartite alliance of Olivendi, the Alfred family, and the fourth princess.

One apostle was left behind completely, while the rest escaped with serious injuries.

However, due to Fiona's inexplicable disappearance, after eliminating the enemy's ninth-level existence, several ninth-level warriors immediately began to search for Fiona's whereabouts in a hurry.

But they were lucky. Because they believed that Fiona had been taken away by the enemy, several ninth-level soldiers focused their search on the traces of the enemy's escape and did not find Fiona hiding in the secret base of the Spark Organization.

This is because after discovering that Pomona was suspected of rebellion, Avis asked Fiona to temporarily remove her family amulet and other accessories with positioning functions.

Then Fiona directly used the power of dreams to summon a dream creature to send them into the deep dream world.

You cannot teleport at will in the deep dream world. If Pomona escapes from the dream turbulence and wants to locate Fiona's whereabouts through the family amulet, he will be misled in the wrong direction.

At the same time, in the Spark Organization's base, Avis used the concealment spell [Dark Side of the Moon] from the Old Secret Scriptures to completely conceal Fiona's appearance, bloodline, and spiritual aura, changing her into a completely different look, and also obscuring and blurring the traces of the Web of Fate.

Doing so would ensure maximum safety, but it also meant that not only Pomona, but other members of the Olivendi family would be unable to locate Fiona.

It was equivalent to Fiona disappearing again, and this time there was no notification.

Doing this was also a helpless move for Avis.

After all, he had no substantial evidence to accuse Pomona. In the absence of Duke Carrot, if Fiona returned to the family, it would be too easy for Pomona to stir up trouble.

Moreover, there were two different opinions in the family on how to deal with Fiona, and Avis was aware of this.

Thinking about it now, Anvis even had some suspicion that it was because the upper echelons of the Olivendi family in the previous life had always wanted to persecute Fiona that Fiona's family was eventually destroyed, the protagonist escaped, and then became stronger through a series of adventures, ultimately leading to her fate of revenge.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

In the secret base of the [Spark] organization, Fiona immediately cast a concerned look at Avis when she saw his chess moves suddenly pause in an uncoordinated manner.

"Nothing, just received some latest news about the outside world."

Retracting his thoughts, Avis smiled gently at the girl, and then casually dropped a wizard chess piece in his hand into a corner of the chessboard.

Currently, Anvis is playing a game of black and white chess with Landon. Just like the popularity of arcane cards among the nobles, this chess game is widely spread among the people of the empire.

Perhaps civilians and low-level professionals cannot afford, nor are willing to buy, a single arcane card priced in gold coins, but that does not prevent them from having their own way of entertainment.

The chess pieces are made of simple materials, and can be easily made of wood or stones of different colors. The rules are somewhat similar to Blue Star chess, but the scale is usually much larger.

Chess pieces are divided into knights, wizards, kings, etc., each with different functions and moves. There is only one king, but there can be hundreds of knights. There are also various areas on the chessboard representing special terrains. The ultimate goal of the game is to capture the opponent's king.

At first, it was Landon who was playing against Roche and others, but after noticing that Avis and Fiona also came out of the room, in order to show friendliness, he invited Avis to play a game with them.

Of course, Landon actually had a little idea. The winning or losing of this kind of game was ultimately a test of the calculation ability of both parties, so he could use the game results to slightly test Avis's strength.

Just when Avis's thoughts returned from the depths of the Web of Fate, it was his turn to make a move.

"I'm sorry, Landon, it looks like our game has to end here."

After explaining to Fiona, Avis turned his gaze to Landon.

"Are you leaving?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Frowning and glancing at the stalemate on the chessboard, Landon looked at Avis with some regret.

The battle between the two sides is now at its most intense. Many knight chess pieces are intertwined in a group, while the king, protected by the wizard and other chess pieces, is located at the two ends of the battlefield, facing each other.

As for the current battle situation, Landon couldn't see which side had a clear advantage.

"Yes, my family has already discovered some problems. If we continue to hide here, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you."

Avis nodded. He was not going to wait any longer.

On the one hand, staying in one place for a long time makes it easy to be discovered. On the other hand, this accident out of everyone's sight is an opportunity for Fiona.

She can see more things that cannot be seen under normal circumstances, the operating rules of various levels of this society, rather than just being a tool to break through the legend.

At the same time, in Avis's plan, Fiona is also an indispensable part of his stimulation of the stargazers.

After all, the Stargazer was tricked by him at that time, and he knew the backlash suffered by the Stargazer better than any other prophet.

Considering the number of ninth-order masters whose bodies were destroyed and who died during the collapse of the floating city, normally, if it was another eighth-order prophet who suffered the backlash, it would probably be enough to permanently degrade him.

Even if the stargazer is a ninth-level ultimate prophet and may have made all kinds of preparations, it is unlikely that he can recover in just a few years.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the breakthrough of the gray fog cannot be prevented.

But it would be a different story if he woke up the stargazer from his recuperation state ahead of time.

Although your injuries have not recovered yet and forcing your attack may make them worse, your student is about to break through to the ninth-level prophet. Will you care? (End of this chapter)
