Chapter 538 Property Trusteeship
"Sir Anvis, the person you pointed out seems to have bad intentions towards us!"
After discovering the hidden danger, the elf quickly checked on the other members of the prince's party.
Even if Avis didn't say it, if there is an enemy with a hidden identity in the team, there is a high possibility that there is a second one.
Fortunately, after some detection, the elf found that the panels of the other people were green representing friendliness and yellow representing neutrality.
Anvis also saw this clearly.
The system panel's detection results for the enemy are determined by whether the enemy has the desire to attack.
In other words, although the other party was still in disguise, he was probably already preparing to attack Lan Nuo and his group. There was even a high probability that the missing member was secretly murdered by him.
Now he has two choices. First, wait and see, wait for him to jump out on his own initiative, and then determine what the other party's purpose is.
Second, take immediate action to expose his disguise and eliminate the threat in advance.
Both options have their pros and cons, but after secretly divination, Avis decided to maintain the status quo for the time being.
According to the results of divination, exposing it now in advance is likely to cause some unknown adverse changes, and may even pose a certain threat to him! You know, with Avis's current true strength, in the current Glorious Secret Realm, it can be said to be a sweep.
Coupled with the special changes in the old secret realm before, Avis already had some guesses in his mind. This time it might still be the work of those foreign cults.
"What should we do? Lord Anvis, should we remind His Highness Lan Nuo?"
At this moment, the elf seemed to have retreated behind Avis unintentionally, while communicating with Avis through the secret communication technique.
"No, we don't have to do anything, Rivers. Now pretend you didn't notice anything, and we'll wait for the other side to make the first move."
Hearing the elf's request, Anvis shook his head and smiled friendly to Lanno's entourage, showing his goodwill.
There are many advantages to waiting for the other party to expose themselves, and the most important thing is that Avis does not want the enemy to find out too early, and he has a way to see through the other party's concealment.
Avis was certain that the person who could make him foresee the crisis and the number of people the other party had arranged to enter the Glorious Secret Realm could not be just this one soldier.
Rather than alerting the enemy in advance, it is better to wait until the enemy is truly gathered together and then catch them in one fell swoop.
Of course, the only one who needs to take a greater risk in this plan is Prince Lanno himself.
But if the purpose of these people is not clarified, then everyone who enters the Secret Realm of Glory will be in danger.
For the sake of the overall situation, we can only reluctantly let a few people make sacrifices... Anyway, Lan Nuo doesn't seem to know this either.
Avis swore in his heart that if Lan Nuo really died, he would avenge him immediately.
"...I understand, Lord Anvis."
The last dragonborn glanced oddly at Prince Lanno, who was looking down at the records on an ancient stone tablet, as if he was looking for something, and observed a moment of silence for him.
"Dear Lord Lanno, before we explore the tower, I have a question for you."
Looking at Lan Nuo's actions, Avis suddenly spoke.
"What's up?"
Lan Nuo looked at Avis with some confusion.
"Do you have any private secret fund? Or any secret power or industry that belongs to you personally?"
Avis said politely.
"There may be some dangers in that tower, you know. If something happens to you here, then they will be taken away by your brothers or lie in some dark corner and rot quietly.
And now, you have an opportunity to entrust them to me in advance..."
"Don't worry, dear Avis, I have already made arrangements for this."
After hearing what Avis said, Lan Nuo's eyelids twitched, and he politely declined Avis's "good intention".
"Well, I have already agreed with my companions to explore the city first and then meet up at the gate of the core tower in a day. I wonder what your plan is, Lan Nuo."
Unable to squeeze out the surplus value of Lanno, Avis could only give up regretfully.
"I plan to explore the western area of the city ruins first, and then explore the tower."
Lan Nuo was also not planning to explore the central tower immediately. He seemed to have some clues and was now looking for something with a clear goal.
"What a coincidence! One of my entourage is also in that direction right now. I can just go there and find her."
After discovering the hidden enemy, Avis was no longer prepared to act alone, so the two sides temporarily decided to explore together.
Moreover, after learning about Lanno's action plan, Avis was a little surprised to find that Summer Night Firefly was also in that direction.
After unifying their goal, everyone immediately headed towards the area west of the city - that was where those huge buildings were located, like giants living near the group of dwarfs.
There is no distinction between day and night in the Secret Realm of Glory, and the time can only be judged by the indication of a pocket watch.
Under the strange gray-white light in the sky, the group walked through the wide blue-gray stone steps and passed through the ancient and attractive streets.
High elves, dragons, and Titans once walked on these huge stone steps.
But now, with the passage of countless years, the huge blocks of rock have become somewhat loose and are no longer as solid as they once were.
Many strange and beautiful buildings gradually moved away from the crowd: solemn statues of mythical creatures, gorgeous perlite colonnades, elven-style buildings with terraces, and exquisite stone-carved arch bridges.
The entire city ruins are shrouded in an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. In Anvis's perception, those extremely distant fragments that seem to have been forgotten by everyone are still vaguely lingering in this city.
Even though they have been weathered and eroded over the years, they still glow with a faint glow, as if still telling future generations about their past prosperity.
Soon, under Lan Nuo's clear-cut leadership, everyone entered the western area of the city.
The surrounding buildings became larger and larger, and their style changed from elven elegance to a rugged beauty.
After taking out a stone slab from his arms and identifying the direction, Lan Nuo led everyone into a huge building that looked like a temple. Then, they entered the underground maze area from the secret passage behind a Titan statue wearing armor at the back of the building.
When he got here, Avis's expression showed a hint of strangeness again.
Because in his divination, the distance between himself and the fireflies in the summer night was also getting closer and closer.
After walking in twists and turns underground for half a day and breaking through multiple protective spells and ancient golems, Lan Nuo finally led everyone to a stone door with great difficulty.
He observed the structure of the stone door, and then used magic to draw a special symbol like the moon on the round mithril plate inlaid on the surface of the stone door.
After confirming that the secret key was correct, the mithril plate emitted a silvery-white glow, and the heavy stone door slowly rose upwards.
"Ah! Avis, you came to save me!"
In the secret room, when she heard the sound of the door opening, Xia Yeyinghuo, who was squatting in the corner and browsing the forum out of boredom, suddenly stood up excitedly and looked at Avis who was smiling and waving at her at the door, and the stunned Prince Lannuo.
