Chapter 47 Fantasy Dreams and Wonders
"I heard from mother that you will be leaving next month to study at Pamir College in the royal capital. So, I want to prepare a parting gift for you."
"I heard this legend from an old woman who sold straw weaving, so..."
Soon, under Avis's questioning, the girl told him the whole story, chirping like a happy little bird.
Thinking about how she almost never left the castle, she would run out every afternoon in the past half month and would not come back until very late.
The pale and thin young nobleman closed his azure eyes slightly and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes again and looked at the cute little face of the girl, which was a little red due to excitement, with an extremely gentle smile on his face.
"Thank you, Fei, this is the best parting gift I have ever received--"
For Anvis, this sudden surprise was like a traveler trudging through the snow on a winter night and suddenly seeing a temporary camp in the distance.
And the small campfire made of cedar branches that glowed warmly in the center of the camp.
Plain, yet warm——
"Hehe... Actually it's nothing. It just took me a little longer to find it. I asked Annie to make the box and the flowerpot..."
Fiona's cheeks turned redder after receiving the unexpected compliment from Avis, and she smiled a little embarrassedly. At the same time, she tilted her head inconspicuously, and her brilliant light blonde hair flashed.
"In fact, I was originally planning to take it out before we parted and give you a surprise. But I just couldn't wait any longer, so I took it out now..."
As the girl spoke, she lacked confidence and her voice gradually became smaller.
Avis smiled and reached out to touch the vine again, causing it to return to its box shape. He already understood the structure of this magic.
"Then why don't you send me there again on the day I leave for the academy—"
As he said this, he handed the box to the girl and gave her a slight wink with a smile.
"Um, ah? Is this still possible?"
Fiona was stunned, holding the box at a loss, her pink little mouth slightly open, her clear lake blue eyes full of confusion.
"I'll leave it with you first, Fei. It'll just be a good opportunity for Dad and Mom to share your good fortune."
Avis chuckled and gracefully made a 'please' gesture to the box.
"Well, you're right."
Fiona nodded in agreement and put the box away.
"Well, brother, you continue reading, I won't disturb you~"
As she spoke, the girl stood up lightly and walked towards the door of the library.
Avis smiled as he watched the girl disappear out the door. Then he began to reflect on himself.
There was no such scene in his previous memories. In other words, his existence itself had changed certain things unconsciously.
"Yes, in the previous life, because Fiona had divided the attention of the Duke and Duchess, the relationship between her and little Anvis, who was only one year older than her, was not as good as it is now."
'Perhaps, some arrangements can be changed slightly...'
With a silent smile, Avis closed the book on the table and put it aside. Then he stretched out his hand and another book flew down from the top shelf and landed in his hand.
This book is very large, half a foot thick, and the whole book exudes a dreamy atmosphere.
If the person holding the book has low mental strength, he or she may even fall directly into an illusory dream.
The cover is a cold black, but somehow it gives people a sense of peace and tranquility.
Two lines of beautiful Gumani were embossed in the center of the cover, and as Anvis looked at it, they seemed to emit a changing glow.
On the Reasons for the Growth of Fantasy Dreams
-Nodens "Sooner or later, this knowledge will be useful, won't it? Now is just a matter of starting research in advance."
Avis opened the book and used all his mental strength to read it carefully while resisting the constant erosion of the dreamlike atmosphere.
…………
On the penultimate day before going to the academy, Avis left the library and entered the alchemy laboratory after a long absence.
"Turn on the highest level of protection—"
Standing in front of the dedicated magic compound inscription alchemy table, Avis held the family amulet and probed a trace of mental power into it.
Following his action, the core of the laboratory's magic array was immediately activated, and multiple binding and defensive arrays enveloped the inscription platform.
Originally, he planned to make a low-level magical artifact as a gift to Fiona before leaving.
However, after receiving the unexpected gift from the girl, Anvis temporarily changed his mind and prepared to make a low-level magical item with growth potential.
"Mandula black goat parchment, black abyss iron from the depths of the land where wraiths wander, soft skin from the belly of the sacred unicorn, extract from the one-eyed nightmare giant..."
Comparing the materials listed, Anvis took out various materials one by one and began to make a strange object he had been conceiving of for a long time.
"In the gaze of the terror bird, the ink is made from the extract of the one-eyed creature mixed with the essence of the evil spirit.
Using the night crow feathers plucked on the thirteenth night of the Hearthfire Month as the base material, the girl’s resentment is attached to make a magic feather pen to write the text and illustrations of the book..."
On one side of the alchemy room, the black cloth covering a giant cage was lifted, revealing a grotesque, scaly monster inside.
It was a hideous black giant bird with a seahorse-like head and a lamprey-like mouth.
Seeing the long-lost light, it flapped its huge and smooth wings, and its six evil blood-red eyes stared in the direction of Avis, making waves of anxious gasps.
If there were no protective magic circle, Avis would instantly suffer severe mental damage and might even be swallowed by a nightmare on the spot.
But all these are just assumptions after all. Under the effect of the protective magic circle, the evil gaze of the terror bird did not have any effect on Avis.
Avis's hands kept moving. The tip of the feather pen, which was filled with resentment and was filled with liquid that exuded a strong ominous smell, danced on the parchment that was faintly black.
The entire process was guided by mental power, leaving behind lines of black text elegantly and neatly.
The content of the text is "Fiona's Adventures in Wonderland", which he had told to the girl before. Anweisi plans to use this story as the core carrier to construct an illusory dream space.
After several magic hours, the main text was completed.
Avis took out the long light blond hair he had collected when he was stroking Fiona a few days ago, and used it as a silk thread to bind it together.
"After that, I used unicorn skin and shadow wood to make the book cover. I used black abyss iron to wrap the corners and clasp the spine..."
Soon, under the gaze of the man and the bird, a thick magic book gradually took shape.
The cover exudes a faint holy white light, and is wrapped in an extremely strong, strange and ominous aura.
Standard white cut black, really good.
Looking at the magic book in his hand, which seemed dreamy and holy but was actually extremely twisted and ominous, Avis made a speechless comment.
"Finally, a black umbrella that had experienced rain at a funeral was opened indoors. In the shadow cast by the umbrella, an abnormal element was integrated into a strange object..."
