Chapter 50: Mercury Prophecy
"Next, here is my personal parting gift to you."
The Duke opened the drawer and took out an earring made of gray translucent crystal.
“The restoration pendant contains an eighth-level advanced restoration technique.
When you actively activate it, or when the life fluctuations are reduced to a certain level, the pendant will restore your or other recipients' physical state to one hour ago, but mental strength and other special powers will not be restored."
"The pendant can only be activated once every three days. Also, don't activate it too frequently.
If you activate it a second time within seven days, the spell's effects may cause you some permanent damage."
The Duke waved his hand, and the pendant floated towards Anvis, floating together with the other three pieces of equipment.
A magical accessory with an eighth-grade ultimate life-saving spell! Before crossing over, he had never even heard of it!
In a sense, this is a resurrection stone that has usage restrictions and cooldown, but will not be consumed!
"Thank you for your gift. I like it very much."
Putting aside his thoughts, Anvis put on a proper smile and bowed to the Duke again to express his gratitude.
"Put it away. If you need anything else, you can ask now."
After putting the four items into the ring as instructed, Avis thought for a moment and spoke.
"Father, I also hope to take a book of the School of Prophecy from the library."
"Oh? Which one have you taken a fancy to?"
Hearing the somewhat familiar request, the Duke raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Anvis with a little curiosity.
"The Mercury Prophecy"
"The Mercury Prophecy?"
The Duke thought for a moment as he stroked the hollow secret gold cufflinks with his fingertips.
"Oh, yes, I remember it. It was something left by the second chief prophet of the family.
According to the last message he left, he was going to a remote place to look for something, and then there was no news of him.
Before leaving, he left the book in the family's library. After he disappeared, a ninth-rank member of the family went to look for him, but in the end, they found nothing. "
As he spoke, the Duke looked at Anvis, with a hint of seriousness in his blue eyes.
"You have the gift of prophecy, and I can give it to you. But you must promise not to lend it out privately, or teach the knowledge in it to others without permission!"
"I promise you!"
Anvis placed his right hand on his chest, met the Duke's serious gaze, and made a solemn promise.
Duke Carrot nodded.
"Anything else you need?"
"No, father."
"Um--"
The Duke nodded again, his blue eyes staring at his four sons who were about to set off, a hint of deep admiration flashing in his eyes.
When he closed his eyes, the scenes of Anvis' childhood seemed to still be in front of him. But when he opened his eyes again, the little boy had grown into the elegant boy in front of him.
Just like myself back then, he is humble, polite and calm. Deep in his azure eyes lies the strong confidence brought by knowledge and power.
As he watched, Duke Carrot couldn't help but sigh.
Although he was known as the youngest ninth-rank master in the empire, looking into Anvis's clear blue eyes, the Duke suddenly felt a moment of emotion.
——I am old after all.
The next moment, the Duke's expression became serious, and he completely drove away this somewhat negative emotion from his heart.
"Remember, Anvis, apart from Karlas, you represent the face of the Olivendi family! Don't let me down—"
"I understand, Father!"
Anvis also had a serious expression. He stood straight in pure white clothes, staring into the Duke's blue eyes and answered very seriously.
"very good."
The Duke smiled unabashedly in admiration.
"Go ahead and do what you want to do."
Avis bowed again and then politely left the study.
In the study, the Duke sat back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously stroking the emblem ring on his index finger, his eyes slightly closed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
………
"The Mercury Prophecy" is a strange book with a cover that looks like liquid metal. When you hold it in your hand, you can even see the cover material ripple slightly.
The mirror silver divination technique that Anvis had mastered before was recorded in the "Mercury Prophecy Book", one of the basic spells of the mercury prophecy school.
This book describes in great detail the practice methods and various secret techniques of the Mercury Prophet school, and contains many key points that need to be paid attention to.
Moreover, the author not only left written records, but also left spiritual imprints related to the techniques.
When the reader communicates with the mark through mental power, he can directly experience the specific feeling and process of casting the spell.
This is the fundamental reason why Anweisi specifically requested this book.
But to be honest, few magic books are this detailed.
Avis suspected that the second-generation chief prophet who left this book might have vaguely predicted his possible future.
Therefore, he recorded down everything he had learned in advance, so that if he encountered any accident during this trip, his heritage would not be cut off.
After getting it from the Great Library, Avis once again headed to the castle's alchemy laboratory.
There is a basic magical artifact of the mercury prophecy school that needs to be made by him personally.
Before leaving Karlas, he planned to complete it as soon as possible.
But speaking of Karras...
Anvis paused, and he suddenly remembered the player followers he recruited some time ago.
I don’t know how he is doing now.
After thinking about it, Avis sent a magic message to the head of the Chamber of Commerce under him through the crystal ball.
He asked about the current situation of the last dragonborn who he had sent into the caravan earlier.
After receiving instructions from the big boss behind the scenes, the head of the Chamber of Commerce quickly contacted the leader of the elf's caravan. After obtaining the information that Anvis needed, he sent it back through the crystal ball as soon as possible.
"The new elf is good in every way, except that he is a little too enthusiastic. He always asks others if they need help. And sometimes he says something hard to understand."
…
"Contrary to his weak appearance, he trains very hard every day, even harder than those good guys in the caravan.
But he seems to have a habit of eating while training. He can often be seen finishing a set of exercises, taking out a few broad leaves of lettuce and eating them, and then continuing to do the next set. "
…
"One of the strange things was that he didn't seem to need to go to the bathroom and he slept very little.
On his first night as a trainee guard, a guy got up in the middle of the night and was halfway through his urination when he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he turned around, the elf was standing behind him! The guy was so scared that he almost lost his grip on his pants! "
…
Browsing the returned information, Avis imagined the possible scenarios.
Seeing the NPC leaving the caravan alone in the middle of the night, the Last Dragonborn quietly followed him, thinking there was a hidden mission to be triggered.
The emerald green eyes reflected the flickering light of the campfire, and a faint voice sounded from behind the NPC: Do you need help?
Okay, this is very player-
However, in this case, we can take this opportunity to conduct further experiments on the player's characteristics.
After thinking about it, Anvis wrote a letter, listed some experimental projects, and specifically instructed that the experimental results should be sent to him in the same form of a letter.
Then, he sealed the envelope with a special secret method and asked the family messenger to send it to the head of the Chamber of Commerce.
After finishing all this, Avis closed the door of the alchemy laboratory and devoted himself to manufacturing.
