Chapter 278: Hatching of Crystal Eggs
Harvey's news brought back some memories for Avis.
In his previous life, after little Anvis chose the School of Change, someone in the academy also tried to test him.
For example, arrange for someone to deliberately provoke him and see how he responds, so as to judge his character and attitude towards things, but the time will be later.
In fact, this is also a common practice, but in this world, due to the prophecies made in advance, this temptation may be more radical.
Although many thoughts flashed through Avis' mind, the transmission of spiritual information took only a moment.
The next moment, Harvey stood up with a smile on his face, showing nothing unusual.
"Hello."
Alyssa returned Harvey's greeting politely, but from her slightly cold look, it was obvious that she was not very fond of Harvey's playboy style.
Seeing this, Harvey didn't want to make trouble. After saying hello to Avis, he found an excuse and left with his two female companions.
After this brief episode, Avis took Alyssa back to the academy in the family carriage, and inevitably some interested people saw the two walking together.
Those who also want to win over Alyssa should understand what this means.
Another day passed, and Avis finally returned to the tower of the Mysterious Academy which he had not visited for a long time.
When he just returned from the Federation, he did not go back to class immediately, but stayed in his residence for two days, without going out, and only returned to class today.
During these two days, he arranged more specific matters regarding the player organization.
This included delivering some low- and mid-level tasks from families and colleges to players, as well as finding some specialized personnel to be responsible for exchanging materials from the Secret Rite Society, issuing tasks and rewards, etc. in the Olivendi Chamber of Commerce in the Empire and the Federation.
At the same time, he also comforted Fiona, who was a little worried about his disappearance.
Most of the students were not surprised to see Avis, who had been missing for several days, finally come to class.
Everyone has their own way of learning, especially when it comes to magic. You may suddenly get inspiration, and it may take several days to do an experiment.
Except for a few classmates like Claire who were on good terms with him and asked him why he didn't come to class, no one else cared.
"Anvis, have you heard? Something happened to Gelka and Bob, and their credits were deducted by their teacher Nancy!"
During the break, a girl with long light blue hair came to chat with Avis.
She is Skylar, the daughter of a minor noble. She is very fond of gossip and is well-informed. She always knows a lot of sensational new things in advance.
And Avis had no objection to her hobbies, and when listening, he would always show just the right amount of surprise and curiosity, so she always liked to share the news with Avis.
"Why? What happened?"
Anvis was also happy to chat with her. Since he hadn't been back for a while, he just wanted to know if there was any news in the college.
"Well, I'm not sure about the details because I wasn't there at the time, but it was said that there was a special experimental accident!"
Skylar spread her hands, but seemed interested in discussing the matter.
"An experimental accident? What kind of experimental accident could there be in the occult?"
Avis was a little puzzled. Accidents often occurred when mages were doing experiments, but as magic laboratories developed through generations, their protective capabilities had become very complete and the experimenters would not be easily injured.
“That day, when the instructor was teaching us how to process a crystal stone that contained mysterious power, he accidentally made a mistake in an inscription.
At that time, the light of the crystal instantly became extremely unstable. Fortunately, the instructor stabilized the magic power in the crystal in time and quickly modified the abnormal inscription, and finally successfully eliminated the impact. "
As she spoke, the blue-haired girl raised the corners of her mouth, looking a little gloating.
"Poor Gelka and Bob, they were too careless and ended up repeating their mentor's experience! As a result, the crystal energy went out of control and Bob was turned into a frog. He needed a kiss from the prince to change back. Gelka was half turned into a stone statue, and the mentor is still looking for a way to unlock the magic effect."
"Oh, gods! This is so serious!"
Avis shook his head speechlessly. It seemed that they might need to recuperate for a while.
"But, Skylar, is there any other news worth mentioning?"
"Any other news?"
The girl thought about it for a moment and then smacked her palm.
"By the way, I heard that the ninth prince of the royal family is also going to enroll this year, but I don't know which branch he is currently in."
"Okay Skylar, thanks for the news."
Anvis nodded and thanked the girl.
After the class ended that day, Thorium suddenly sent an abnormal reminder: the state of the crystal egg in the laboratory has changed abnormally! This time it is likely to hatch. After seeing the message, Avis quickly returned to his residence.
After entering the laboratory, he skillfully verified his mental power and opened the magic-averse metal gate of the incubation room.
In the energy supply array of the incubation room, the sky-blue double-pointed prism crystals were flashing, and the flashing speed was obviously much faster than before.
At the same time, the vortex part of it began to slowly rotate like a real vortex, reflecting colorful light, as colorful as the sunlight on a soap bubble.
"Thorium, display the subject's current data and call up the historical records."
Looking at the crystal in the center whose appearance had changed drastically, Avis immediately issued instructions to Thorin.
"The order has been accepted--"
As the magic sound of Thorium fell, various data and indicator lines appeared in front of Avis. Among them, the core frequency of the crystal and its magic absorption speed changed the most.
"Gently increase the mana supply rate by 20% and maintain high-density monitoring. If the crystal frequency shows negative changes, immediately stop increasing the energy supply."
After observing for a while, Avis gave the order to increase the transmission of magic power.
When the crystal egg entered its current third state, Avis found that the energy input was already somewhat insufficient.
"The order has been accepted--"
As Avis's orders were issued, the magic power transmission of the energy supply formation was increased again.
The magic circuit, which originally only had a faint blue light, now emitted a bright glow, and a large amount of abundant and pure wind-attribute magic power was continuously input into the crystal egg.
As a large amount of magic power was infused, the crystal also underwent corresponding changes. Dazzling green light began to accumulate at the bottom of the crystal like water, and the "liquid level" began to gradually rise.
As the crystal's light gradually filled up, the vortex's speed became faster and faster.
Snap——
Finally, when the crystal's brilliance completely overflowed and almost turned into a pure light ball of pale blue, a crisp cracking sound came from the center of the brilliance.
The volume of the light ball expanded instantly, and at the same time its brightness increased dramatically, becoming like a pale blue scorching sun.
The air was compressed by the suddenly expanding magic ball, and a weak shock wave quickly spread out, blowing Avis's experimental uniform and light golden hair into a dance.
Avis didn't care. He just condensed a black crystal lens to filter out the excessive stray light.
In the center of the ball of light, there was a small translucent creature that was nearly one meter long and looked like a baby dragon.
It has beautiful wings that are constantly scattering stardust. Their shape is similar to that of a dragon's wings, but there are two pairs of them, and they are light blue and translucent like itself.
Energy tentacles like ribbons surround its body, but its specific function is currently unknown.
The azure crystal had broken into multiple pieces, which were orbiting the central vortex like asteroids, seemingly the core of this strange little creature.
