Chapter 36: Planning for the Future
In the following days, my brothers and sisters who were far away in their respective territories sent me letters of congratulations one after another.
The relationship between Anvis' brothers and sisters is currently good, which is related to the inheritance rules of the Olivendi family.
As one of the four great ducal families, candidates for the Olivendi family head are not limited to gender, but their strength must reach the ninth level.
However, maliciously murdering a talented family descendant is an absolutely forbidden act, as it touches the foundation of the family.
Once someone is found to have maliciously murdered a member of the clan, he will be severely punished, and he and his descendants will never be allowed to run for the head of the clan. This is the greatest deterrent to anyone with evil intentions.
Ensuring that this rule is enforced are the two ninth-level extreme elders in the family.
They have all lived from the early days of the Gloria Empire to the present, and their direct bloodlines have been passed down for countless generations. Their affection for their descendants has almost been completely wiped out, leaving only their feelings for their family.
No one dared to guarantee that their methods could conceal the ninth level limit.
After that, Avis continued to study, read, and meditate as usual, strictly playing the role of a noble scholar to show it to the eyes that were secretly staring at him in the castle.
It has to be said that after officially becoming a spellcaster, the speed at which meditation absorbs magic power and increases mental strength is completely different from when he was at level zero.
If the speed at which a formal spellcaster absorbs magic power through meditation is compared to drawing water from a pond with a pipe, then a Level 0 apprentice is like sucking water through a small straw.
Moreover, the various advantages of top-level meditation methods, such as increasing the purity of mental power, improving magical affinity, etc., can only be fully utilized when one becomes a formal spellcaster.
During the apprenticeship period, the only difference between the top-level meditation method and other ordinary meditation methods is that the speed of improving mental power is faster.
At the same time, there is good news.
His two assembly factories finally began to make profits from the outside world, instead of just relying on orders from within the family to barely keep afloat.
Previously, all orders were for laying tracks for the home province and increasing the popularity of assembled trains.
However, the family has actually built several large assembly factories to manufacture trains.
The fact that his two small factories were able to receive orders was entirely due to the Duke's special care for him.
But as time went on, he once took the opportunity of a factory visit to reveal an advanced power furnace design in his memory to the person in charge of the factory under the pretext of discussing conjectures.
The changes to the structure itself are not complicated. It just adjusts the energy conversion inscription structure in the furnace, which increases its efficiency by about 15%.
The person in charge was amazed after seeing it, and then spent three days adjusting the inscription engraving device on the production line to produce a new power furnace.
After the new power furnace came out, it was immediately widely adopted.
The improvement in conversion efficiency means a reduction in magic crystal consumption, which also means a reduction in annual expenditure.
As a result, a large number of orders for new power furnaces came to the company, including from family manufacturers.
During this period, some people have thought about research and imitation.
However, the new power reactor sold by Anvis has an anti-dismantling mechanism. Once someone wants to disassemble it, the inscriptions inside will be directly melted away.
Perhaps high-level professionals would be able to see through its specific structure without disassembling it, but this new power furnace came from the Olivendi family's factory.
If you want to learn from this and grab business, you must consider the consequences of having the Ninth Order come to check your water meter.
………
At night, Anvis returned to his room and sat in meditation with his eyes closed as he did every day.
However, he did not enter into meditation tonight, but was carefully planning the direction of development after the first level.
In his previous life, relying on his own bloodline and background, the somewhat inflated little Anvis chose to develop in the entire faction of the School of Change.
——That is usually a choice made by great magicians of level eight or nine.
Finally, he became a knowledgeable magician as he wished, but the extensive magical research and experiments also slowed down the growth of his bloodline to a certain extent.
This resulted in little Anvis's own strength only reaching the seventh level when the family declined in the future.
If he chose to specialize in a sub-faction within the School of Transmutation, he would probably be able to at least reach the eighth level before the crisis arrived.
Of course, whether it was the seventh or eighth level, it didn’t make much difference to his situation at the time.
But an eighth-level professional will always die with more dignity than a seventh-level professional.
After inheriting little Anvis's memories, Anvis obtained all the research results of his previous life, but he did not intend to continue on the path of his previous life.
Now, he is faced with a new and better choice:
Prophecy School
Spellcasters who are proficient in the school of prophecy are called prophets. In this world, prophet is a rare and noble profession.
If the spellcaster is of a noble profession, then the comparison between an ordinary wizard and a prophet is like that between a baron and an earl.
Most families of a certain size will test every descendant who bears the surname.
If possible, Avis hopes to obtain the identity of a prophet.
This would allow him to openly reveal future information in his memory to the Duke and others, and greatly increase the weight of his words in the shortest possible time.
In the memory of the previous life, the Duke once specially invited a prophet to test whether little Anvis had the talent of a prophet.
The test time is the seventh day after little Avis becomes the first level, which should be tomorrow for Avis in this life.
This kind of test can only be conducted after reaching the first level, and the seven days are for him to consolidate his realm.
The specific detection process is very simple. The fortune teller will prepare a special crystal ball. The person whose talent needs to be tested will connect to the crystal ball with mental power and then close his eyes and relax.
If you can feel the mysterious power in the crystal ball within half a magic hour and glimpse some fragments of the future through it, then congratulations, you have a talent for learning prophecy.
On the contrary, haha.
Naturally, during the testing process in his previous life, little Anvis did not feel anything, and ultimately had to declare that he had no chance of becoming a prophet.
This is what the school of prophecy is like: if you can feel it, you can feel it; if you can’t feel it, you can’t feel it.
However, little Anvis, who would later become a magician, was unwilling to accept the result and thus studied the nature of the so-called "prophetic gift".
He consulted countless books, including some ancient books from the time of the High Elves and manuscripts of some famous prophets.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that the so-called prophet's talent can be divided into the following two points.
First, a strong soul; second, affinity with the web of fate A strong soul is easy to understand, it is the strength of a person's soul. Unlike the strength of mental power, the strength of the soul will only increase with the improvement of the rank.
This is also the reason why some high-level professionals can forcibly use low-level prophecy spells.
The affinity of the web of fate is a bit abstract.
Simply put, the development trajectory of all existence in the world can be seen as a line, and this line is the destiny of this existence.
Countless such threads interweave and entangle to form a "net" that covers the entire world. This net is the fate of the world.
The prophecy spells of the prophet are equivalent to peeking into the web of fate through some means, and interpreting the future through the information and feedback obtained.
But not everyone can do this. Most people cannot sense the existence of the Web of Destiny even if they use prophecy spells. Only a very small number of people can detect it.
This ability to perceive the Web of Fate is what is called affinity for the Web of Fate.
The conditions for the emergence of such affinity are as unpredictable as fate itself. It may appear in the son of a grand duke or in the child of an ordinary peasant woman.
Regardless of the strength of the parents or whether they have blood, the chances of this talent appearing seem to be the same. The most extreme case that has occurred is that in a pair of twins, the younger sister has the gift of a prophet, but the older sister does not.
The magic world still has no consensus on what factors determine the formation of this talent.
"Everything is fate... ahem - fate's choice."
Touching the family amulet on his chest, Anvis began to think about what he should do tomorrow.
As a time traveler and a reborn person, the strength of his soul is definitely far greater than that of little Anvis of the same age in his previous life. I just don't know if there is any change in the affinity of the Web of Destiny.
Theoretically, if one could become a prophet, it would be of great help in the goal of saving the Olivendi family, which is within the scope of the wishing spell.
But if you still don't have talent in this life, then switch to a school of mysticism, use some special mysterious magic as an excuse, and make the most of your advantage of knowing the direction of history.
