Chapter 532 Illusion
"I see."
With Anvis's permission, the last dragonborn instantly became excited.
Although I have prepared for failure, if I can get permission, it would be the best of both worlds.
After leaving Avis' room, just as Avis had expected, the elf immediately began to contact the people from the White Light Club to discuss cooperation.
This is a win-win situation. Both the club and he personally can obtain huge traffic. The Last Dragonborn directly contacted the current captain Nyarlathotep, told him about the situation on his side, and asked him to help contact the club's top management.
At this time, Naia was in a ruined magic tower, communicating with the secret inscriptions found in a hidden mission.
According to the mission background, after absorbing and mastering the power contained in this ancient inscription, one can permanently enhance one's magical affinity.
"What do you mean? Among the explorers of this secret realm, there is even an imperial prince?"
After listening to the last dragonborn's brief introduction to the background of the Glorious Secret Realm and the identities of the participants in this expedition, Nyarlathotep pinched his staff, and the ancient inscription in front of him suddenly lost its appeal.
"In other words, this secret place is not too dangerous, and there is hope of obtaining a reward so generous that even the prince of the empire would be tempted. You said that your place was given to you by the NPC named 'Anvis'?"
"Look, a friend of mine wants to ask, is the aboriginal genius named 'Anvis' still in need of followers?"
After chatting casually for a while, Naya finally got to the point.
"...Okay, I'll help you contact the club. But you'd better be prepared. The conditions proposed by those people in the club will probably require you to provide more information related to the high-level plot."
"...Okay, that's it then."
After contacting everyone, the Last Dragonborn thought for a while and did not return to his room, but explored deeper into the airship.
As there is still some time before reaching the entrance of the ruins, the elf plans to explore this place as much as possible to see if it can trigger some adventure quests.
As everyone dealt with their own affairs, a magic hour passed quietly.
Through the cotton candy-like soft clouds below, an abnormal area of glowing light is faintly visible among the distant golden-brown mountains in late autumn.
That was the destination of everyone's trip, the entrance to the Glorious Ruins.
Since the day when the Glorious Ruins are opened, many descendants and geniuses of the empire's ruling class will gather here. In order to protect the safety of this place, there are more than one ninth-level hidden nearby to guard in secret to prevent any accidents.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Twinkle, twinkle little star!"
As the airship landed at a nearby anchorage, Xia Ye Yinghuo walked out of the cabin and was immediately attracted by the entrance in front of her that looked like a brilliant galaxy.
After letting out an instinctive cry, he immediately took a few photos using the system's screenshot function.
“Squeak——”
Seeing the player girl's inexperienced look, coupled with her attire that clearly showed she was not of noble origin, several people nearby looked at her in a strange light. One young man even couldn't help but sneer in a low voice, with a look of disdain.
"Vivian, they seem to have ill intentions towards you..."
Rona, who was attached to her, sensitively noticed the emotional changes of the people around her, and quickly reminded her in a low voice in her heart.
"Uh, why?"
After being reminded by the strange girl, Xia Ye Yinghuo looked around belatedly and felt a little confused.
However, this situation did not last long. As Avis walked out of the cabin and Summer Night Firefly stood behind him, the malicious looks around him gradually disappeared amid whispers.
Instead, it turned into a gaze mixed with awe, curiosity, and hidden jealousy.
Some people who were previously unaware of her identity realized after seeing Avis and being reminded by people around them that she should be the foreigner who was lucky enough to be accepted as a student by the [Secret Star Scholar].
There was no doubt that Avis gave her a precious spot just to show his goodwill to the [Secret Star Scholar].
Of course, Xia Ye Yinghuo saw these changes and gave her a different interpretation.
As soon as her handsome "guiding NPC" appeared, he stood in front of her like a hero, blocking all the malicious eyes on her! He has me in his heart! With a question mark on his face, he glanced at the player girl who suddenly became excited when looking at him. Avis's eyes slowly swept across all the people present, and met Prince Lanno's eyes who were also looking at him.
Among the candidates invited by the two, except for two who are students of ninth-order extreme powerhouses, the others are basically nothing noteworthy.
For other ambitious descendants of nobles, this expedition to the glorious secret realm is a good opportunity to demonstrate their own strength.
For example, the other five princes and princesses present, as well as other descendants of the four major families.
The Glorious Secret Realm is not a novice copy for school students to explore, but one of the important secret realms exclusive to the Gloria Empire.
Except for those who are conducting crucial magic experiments and have no time to split themselves, no other imperial professionals below the ninth level will refuse the opportunity to enter and explore.
This time, among the Olivendi family, except for Avis's eldest brother Raymont who was unfortunately unable to attend because he was in seclusion preparing to break through to the eighth level, the second brother Evan and the third sister Alanis were also present, and the other large families and the royal family were similar.
Everyone and their entourage formed small circles, intentionally or unintentionally showing off their own connections.
A famous alchemist, a genius who broke through to the seventh level before the age of fifty, a rare warlock with the bloodline of the Storm Dragon...
Anvis even saw a seventh-level prophet, who was the entourage of the third princess. It was unknown at what price she had invited this person, but this earned her many envious glances.
High-level predictors rarely appear in person unless the other party has already sensed in advance that something good might happen from this action.
After everyone gathered, the time gradually came to noon.
When the sun's trajectory reached directly above the crowd, the countless silently flickering cold lights in front of them suddenly stagnated, and then quickly shrank to a point in the center.
During this process, their brightness began to rise sharply, and brilliant colors that could not be described in human language were born, intertwined, merged, and twisted in the center of the aggregated glow, and finally disappeared in a gray vortex sparkling with colorful stars.
"…The space-time structure of this area has produced unknown fluctuations. The space-time coordinates behind the vortex are likely to be completely different from those in this world."
Standing behind Avis, Albins held a strange alchemical device covered with tiny inscriptions in his hand. After looking at the feedback displayed on it, he spoke in a low voice.
"However, the specific situation can only be confirmed after entering the vortex."
