Chapter 256: The Trial Assessment of the True Knowledge Society
After removing the magic isolation, Avis took out the blue-gold invitation letter and examined it carefully.
The invitation felt a little heavy. Although it was only a thin piece, due to the high density of refined gold, it was still like holding a piece of metal.
When he held it in his hand, the Scepter of Truth symbol on the surface emitted a faint magical luster, and a mental message touched Avis's mental defense wall and was then intercepted.
He extended his spiritual tentacles and touched the message.
Then, a long background introduction about the Zhenzhi Society and another brief message appeared in Avis's mind.
'On the fifteenth day of the Hearthfire Month, at midnight, bring the invitation letter into your dream, walk through the door, and you will arrive at the venue. Please prepare in advance.'
That piece of information informed the location of the next gathering of the True Knowledge Society and how to get there.
However, Avis knew very well that the location indicated on the invitation letter was not the so-called "venue", but the location of the final assessment for newcomers who wanted to join the True Knowledge Society.
Newcomers who have reached the standard in all aspects of hidden scores need to go through a final trial and assessment before they can officially become a member of the Zhenzhi Society and step into the most cutting-edge circle in the entire empire.
Even the descendants of the four great dukes of the empire are not immune to this.
Anvis had also participated in this test in his previous life. The specific location of the test was in the dream world. Overall, it was similar to a super-large secret realm.
The newlyweds need to rely on their own strength to break through the dangers in the dream world, find the location of the real venue, and find a way to enter it.
In the process, newcomers can choose to form a team or go it alone. As long as they can achieve the ultimate goal, all means can be used.
If the previous assessment scores were used to judge the comprehensive qualities of the newcomers, then this item is testing their on-the-spot adaptability.
In this assessment, the judges of Zhenzhi Society will create character files for each newcomer based on the different choices they make.
Leader type, lone wolf type, resourceful type, passionate type...
Based on these different files, resources can be allocated more efficiently in the future.
If the assessment was still normal like before, Avis was confident that he would pass it. But now he was a little worried that the prediction made in advance would bring some changes to his assessment process this year.
However, this thought only appeared for a moment, and he suppressed it and quietly began to prepare for the test.
Unless he chooses to refuse to join, he will eventually have to face it all.
Duke Carrot is also a senior member of the True Knowledge Society. Even if there are changes to the assessment this year, it shouldn't be too much. . ….….That night, Avis dressed neatly, holding the invitation letter, and quietly waited for midnight to arrive.
He was currently wearing a moon-white classical long dress and a wavy scarf with a blue background and silver edges. The outside was covered with a pure black long cloak with gold edges, and it was fastened to the chest with dark gold carved buckles.
A mithril wire-framed monocle was worn in front of his left eye. Magical light like moonlight floated slowly on the crystal-clear surface of the lens, looking extremely mysterious.
It was a magic battle costume specially made by him, which had a series of practical effects such as adapting to the environment, deflecting magic, protecting against curses, and replenishing magic power.
The light blue star-shaped gem on the scarf on the chest is the core of the entire set of etiquette. It stores a large amount of magic power, which can amplify the wearer's spell power and can be used as an external magic source when the caster's magic power is exhausted.
According to the player's panel, this should be a top-level purple suit.
Of course, this does not increase his real strength much, it just serves as a cover-up.
Time passed quickly while Anvis was waiting.
Midnight officially arrived as the huge Gloriana grandfather clock chimed in low.
At the same time, the invitation letter in his hand suddenly emitted a faint light.
A familiar power with a dreamy atmosphere gradually spread from the invitation letter, enveloping his body and making him feel slightly dazed.
This was the phenomenon of entering the dream world. Avis soon saw the door connecting to the dream world.
Relying on the power of the invitation letter, the illusory door slowly opened a gap, allowing him to pass through.
After opening my eyes, the familiar night sky of the dream world appeared in my sight.
The familiar exceptionally bright purple moon, the sky full of pitch-black hole-like stars, and the light blue guiding star in the far northern sky.
Slowly standing up, Avis looked around.
The place where he appeared was a clearing in the forest in the dream world. A huge dream white oak tree stood in the center of the clearing, and it looked to be hundreds of meters high.
The lilac moonlight quietly fell here, and a few electric blue dream fireflies circled around the strange pale white flowers. Accompanied by bursts of pleasant insect chirping, everything was very familiar to Avis.
In the surrounding environment, there were already two figures in different clothes.
On a branch of the giant oak tree, there stood a blurry figure covered in a pitch-black cloak, throwing a gold coin in one hand.
On the other side, above the thick tree roots, a girl wearing the uniform of Pamir Academy and with long wavy light blue hair was sitting there, playing with a magic cube with an extremely complex structure.
Noticing the appearance of Avis, the two men stopped what they were doing and looked over at the same time.
"Is this where the meeting place is?"
Avis looked back at the two of them calmly, asking the question even though he knew the answer.
"I don't know. I'm new here too."
The girl with long wavy hair held the Rubik's Cube in both hands and shook her head gently, looking at the black-robed figure with a calm expression.
"Hei, do you know anything?"
"Don't give me a nickname... You can call me Kaxiu."
With a somewhat helpless tone, Kaxiu grasped the gold coin and gently floated down from the tree branch, landing on the ground silently.
"Like you, I am also a new member who received an invitation letter. My invitation letter indicates the direction to go here. As for why there is no one here, perhaps the party has not officially started yet."
As he said this, Kaxiu shrugged, indicating that he didn't know much.
"Okay, Kashuu, I'm Safia."
"In this case, I now have a guess."
The girl with long wavy light blue hair raised her head, looked at Kasu, and then looked at Avis.
"Perhaps, it is because we are new here that we were sent here."
The girl's mental power simultaneously depicted eighteen different inscriptions on the six sides. After thinking for a while, she spoke again.
"If my guess is correct, then there should be something nearby that tells us what we should do next."
