Chapter 528 News about Prince Lan Nuo
However, in an environment like Pamir Academy, even though Avis is very low-key in his daily life, and can even be regarded as a salted fish in the eyes of outsiders, it is still impossible for him to escape the vortex among the nobles.
At night, after finishing a day's work, Anvis returned to his residence and suddenly welcomed an unexpected guest.
Although Pamir Academy is completely shrouded in a brilliant maze, its interior still simulates the weather outside at all times.
Under the illumination of two huge silver and purple crescent moons, Prince Lanno stood at the gate of Anvis' courtyard, in front of a shrub with pale silver flowers, and raised his hand to touch a fruit in the middle of the many small flowers.
Accompanied by an invisible wave of magical power, the evergreen magical bushes parted on their own, revealing a quiet path leading to the depths of the courtyard in front of the prince, and at the same time notifying Avis that a visitor was coming.
Following some invisible guidance, Lan Nuo walked along the path, passed through clusters of rare and exotic flowers and plants, and finally stepped into Anvis's residence.
In the elegant reception room filled with a refreshing fragrance, Lan Nuo finally saw the young man with light blonde hair and blue eyes, whose temperament was as shining and gentle as the afternoon sun.
As if he had not expected that there would be guests at this time, Anvis was wearing simple white casual clothes, which made his whole temperament seem lazy for no reason.
"Welcome, dear Lord Lanno. Since the preparations were a bit hasty, please forgive my poor hospitality."
Seeing Lanno walk into the room, Anvis stood up calmly and saluted him gracefully by touching his chest.
"I'm sorry, Avis, for not informing you in advance. But I'm not visiting you as a prince this time. I'm sure Lord Avis won't blame a friend for his actions."
Hearing the hidden meaning in Avis' words, Lan Nuo explained helplessly.
"Haha, His Highness Lan Nuo is joking again."
With a polite smile, Avis waved his hand, and the glasses of cold water on the tray on the table were immediately replaced with various magical drinks.
"But, won't it cause you any trouble if you come to meet me privately? There should be a lot of people watching you now, right?"
Looking at Lan Nuo holding up a glass of light blue starberry juice, Avis asked casually.
"Yeah, but so what?"
His eyes, intertwined with blue and purple, stared at Anvis. Lan Nuo took a sip of the fragrant and sweet juice in the cup, but the taste was as cool as stars, and he also smiled.
"I don't have the ability to completely stop their snooping at the moment. In this situation, even if I deliberately do nothing, it will be meaningless and will only arouse suspicion."
"So, you just pretend they don't exist now?"
Avis hit the nail on the head.
"My subordinates are still too weak to compete with my brothers. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, I really just treat them as if they don't exist."
Sitting comfortably opposite Anvis, Lano sipped the light blue starlight juice and shrugged.
"But they also know the limits. For example, when I meet you now, they know that I came to you suddenly, but they cannot know the details of my discussion with you."
"Because their observation spells can't penetrate the magical protection of my residence?"
“Because your last name is Olivendi, their mission is just to keep an eye on my whereabouts. There is no need for them to risk offending you by forcibly spying here. At most, they will report to my brothers that I came here to meet you.
But my style of doing things is quite casual, so even if I suddenly come to chat with you tonight, it’s not that special.”
As he spoke, the young man with purple-black hair smiled slightly and raised his glass to Avis.
"Most importantly, are you aware of your reputation in Pamir?"
My reputation?
Avis was slightly startled, then he snapped his fingers and added a layer of highlight to himself.
"A wise and knowledgeable man? Handsome beyond imagination? The perfect dream lover?"
"He is a playboy who does not do his job, a lazy person with nothing but family background, and an idealist who escapes from reality!"
His eyelids twitched, and Lenno suppressed the urge to twitch his cheeks, not wanting to make his expression appear too rude.
How on earth could this guy say such boastful words without changing his expression? The most important thing is that due to Anvis's family background and the charisma brought by his blood, these comments he made really exist.
"...Of course, the comments you mentioned do exist, but that's not the point."
Taking a deep breath, Lan Nuo forced himself to calm down.
"I'm sure you're familiar with my situation. I'm considered the weakest prince by outsiders. Almost no one among the nobles is willing to join me, and all the talented students among my classmates have been snatched away by my brothers."
"And what does it matter if I, like this, come to you, like this?"
After drinking the remaining juice in the cup, Lan Nuo lightly placed the cup back on the tray. His eyes seemed to move around the room unintentionally, taking in the various ancient relics placed in the room, and his tone was suggestive.
"A private meeting between a prince who doesn't do his job and the descendants of the four major families who don't do their job?"
Looking at the weak boy in front of him who looked like some kind of harmless little animal and had a very deceptive temperament, Avis suddenly burst out laughing.
"Then, I wonder what Mr. Lan Nuo's real purpose is?"
"Sir Anvis, I can see that you and I are of the same kind."
Lan Nuo waved his hand and changed his position on the sofa.
“Don’t rush to deny it. No matter how you try to cover it up, we are all in this environment of constant struggle, and no one can be independent of the rules of the game.
Now we are still in a mild academic environment. When we graduate from Pamir and enter the real aristocratic game in the future, how can you hide it then?"
Seeing that Avis' expression hadn't changed at all, the weak boy with heterochromatic eyes sighed, took out a piece of gray-black slate fragment, and placed it on Avis's desk.
The fragment had no magical aura, but there was a strange scratch on its surface, which seemed to be a twisted vortex, or an abstract eye.
"Forget it, I didn't come here just to discuss life with you.
In five days, the once-in-fifty-years Glorious Secret Realm will be opened. All those who are qualified can enter and explore. And in this year's exploration, I hope you can join me."
"The Glorious Secret Realm is about to open? It's not the Frozen Moon yet, right?"
Glancing at the fragment on the table, Avis asked back with some confusion, and at the same time quickly recalled the information related to the Secret Realm of Glory in his mind.
