Chapter 406 Activation Ring
"Hey! Mr. Vio, you're back! What should I do now?"
Inside the alchemy shop, seeing Avis appear at the door, Landon looked as if he had seen a savior.
"Well, hello? Nice to meet you. Who is this lovely lady?"
Looking at the girl in the store, Avis asked knowingly.
"I'm Lanton, Lord Vio! My body became like this after I drank that potion! And this is your necklace. I drank both potions when I was exploring the ruins."
Seeing Avis's reaction, Landon was stunned, then his face instantly fell, and he handed the necklace back to Avis weakly.
"Landon...? Oh! I see!"
Throwing the necklace back into the drawer, Avis paused deliberately, then slapped his palms, with an exaggerated expression of sudden enlightenment on his face. He walked around Landon, looking at him as if he were looking at a work of art.
"How is it? The camouflage potion is effective, right?"
"I think it's a bit too good, Lord Vio. When I came back, although I didn't encounter any enemies, a group of mercenaries surrounded me and even wanted to touch me..."
As he spoke, Landon himself felt a little embarrassed to talk about the scene at that time.
"Anyway, what should I do now to remove the camouflage effect on me?"
"Wait fourteen hours and the effect of the potion will automatically disappear. I have already told you that there is no other way."
Anvis shrugged, and then suddenly spoke with some evil humor.
"Also, Landon, do you know that the real effect of that potion is to change you into what you subconsciously want to be?"
“Eh!?”
When Avis said this, Landon and Leah were both stunned. The next moment, Leah looked at Landon with a different look.
"No, impossible! I never expected to become a girl!"
Landon waved his hands in panic, and the whole person became a little confused in an instant.
"Hahaha, I know it's hard for you to accept this reality. In fact, I just lied to you. The potion has a random effect."
With a pleasant smile, Avis suddenly changed his tone.
"How about it, do you feel more relaxed now?"
"Really? You're not just trying to comfort me?"
"Okay, let's change the subject now. Little Landon, has the store had any business while I was away?"
In response to the boy's question, Avis suddenly changed the subject and did not give a direct answer.
There was no choice, Landon made a bitter face and began to report the specific business situation to Anvis.
"Well, Mr. Brown from No. 23 West Silver Sparrow Street has reserved two bottles of Screaming Owl Potion, Ms. Mary has ordered a bottle of Fire Dragon Potion, and... His Excellency the Strongest Star King needs two sets of Micro Life Potion."
When talking about the last person, Landon's expression was a little strange.
"I understand. I will send the necessary medicines later."
After listening to Landon's report, Avis nodded and waved his hand to close the door. At the same time, a sign that read "Closed" flew up and hung on the handle in the middle of the two doors.
"Since you've used the camouflage potion, I guess you must have gained something from the ruins, right? Don't get me wrong, I don't care what you found in the ruins.
I have some knowledge of these ancient ruins that restrict the level of entrants. Only informal professionals are allowed to enter, which means there are only some low-level ruins items inside. "
Waving his hand, stopping Landon who was about to say something, Avis slowly disappeared into the inner room, leaving only his back.
"It just so happens that I have some things to take care of, so I'll close the store early today. You can go back to your room now and study your gains slowly."
When leaving, Anvis was also thinking about the changes in Landon.
He could feel that there was a special power in Landon's body that was slowly improving his magical aptitude and also improving his physical condition.
He had some guesses about this, it was nothing more than the strange black amulet that had disappeared, or the effect of some adventure he had encountered in the ruins.
In contrast, Anvis was more inclined to the former. After all, as a child of destiny, he had to have some golden fingers.
At the same time, in Avis's observation, although the power of destiny in Landon had been dormant for a while, it has now become active again and seems to be about to erupt again soon.
Moreover, this time is different from the previous times. This time, the power of destiny is released after a brief suppression. At that time, it is likely that a crisis more troublesome than the previous times will arise.
Returning to his makeshift laboratory, Anvis took out the Ring of Fideles and the bottle of finished artificial blood.
With the key bloodline, activating the Ring of Fidius is also very simple. You just need to let the ring come into contact with the bloodline.
According to the way he remembered, Anvis dropped the ring into the bottle filled with purple liquid.
As a faint light flashed, the ring, which originally looked like an ordinary object, suddenly produced a subtle magical fluctuation.
A special feeling came from an extremely distant direction.
However, judging from the direction, the location of the treasure seems to still be within the territory of the Itel Federation.
When Avis activated the ring, Landon was in his room counting the gains from this trip to the ruins, and was also considering what supplies he should use to pay for Avis's potions.
"For the life-restoring potion, one piece of Phantom Gold and two pieces of Star-Scarred Iron should be enough. But the value of the camouflage potion is unknown... maybe we need to add the two pieces of Mithril as well?"
Calculating the value of resources, Landon muttered unconsciously.
"That thing is not worth two pieces of mithril at all. At most, it would be worth the smaller piece of the other two pieces of mithril."
At this moment, an old voice suddenly echoed in Landon's spiritual sea without any warning.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this voice, Landon showed no surprise.
"However, Lord Vio has been so kind to take us in for so many days and has also promised to treat my sister's crystal disease for free. Even if I have to pay a little more, it is what I should pay."
When he first heard this voice in the Ruins Trial, he was indeed startled, but now he is used to it.
According to the voice, he was once a high-level professional, but was framed by his enemies and his body was destroyed. Only a part of his residual consciousness was attached to the amulet, which was teleported into the chaotic space turbulence and allowed him to escape.
However, due to drifting in the turbulent space for too long, this part of the residual consciousness was forced to fall into a deep sleep. It was not until today that it was stimulated by Landon's indomitable and surging will that it finally woke up.
Although he was a rational wizard and Landon's own talent as a spellcaster was average, he still decided to accept Landon as his apprentice.
"Okay, whatever you want. But I have something to remind you. When my consciousness regains consciousness, my original enemies may have sensed it and are on their way."
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival——
