Chapter 674 Creating a Legend
Upon hearing this question, a hint of strong vigilance flashed across the depths of Duke Carrot's blue eyes.
Without answering Anvis' question, the Duke directly activated the crystal bird amulet on his chest with his mind.
The amulet's lavender eyes flashed a faint light, confirming that the amulet on the person in front of him was indeed the same one on Anvis, and that he possessed the extremely pure blood of the Olivendi family.
At the same time, invisible detection light returned from Avis' body surface, confirming that there was no spying magic on Avis, nor any special spell effects such as mind control.
Still feeling unsafe, the Duke slowly stood up, and his own unique rule domain instantly covered the area, completely isolating the space where the two were from the outside world.
In Anvis's eyes, the writing desk, the magic crystal lamp, the ink bottle, the flame in the fireplace, the plush carpet... everything around him was covered with a thin layer of silver-white frost.
This layer of frost has no temperature, but it gradually penetrates deep into objects, causing all visible and invisible existences attached to it to gradually transform into hard and clear ice.
"Why do you ask that question, Anvis?"
Looking down at Anvis with a serious expression, Duke Carrot's tone was extremely serious.
"First of all, I am Fiona's adjutant and the prophet who anchors her fate, father. There are some things that I must truly know in order to come to the correct conclusion."
Facing Duke Carrot, whose attitude was completely different from usual, Anvis's expression was as calm as ever.
"Secondly, I am your direct descendant. The interests of the Olivendi family are my interests. In order to better solve the difficulties faced by the family on the battlefield, I hope to learn the truth behind this."
Looking at Anvis's calm and composed manner, the Duke could not help but fall into silence, and began to ponder over the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.
If his other three descendants asked about this, Carrot would refuse without any thought, because even if they knew, it would be meaningless and would only bring them great danger.
But Avis was different. Unlike the feeling that Fiona's terrifying talent gave people, Avis gave him another feeling, a weird feeling whose depth could never be determined.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happened, Carrot had never seen Avis panic.
Not once—
"Logically speaking, non-9th-rank members of the Olivendi family have no right to know about any information related to Fiona's secrets..."
After a long while, Duke Carrot finally spoke in a low voice.
“This is not just a matter for the Olivendi family, but a restriction jointly determined by the ninth-level guardians of the two major families, Alfred and Olivendi.
But now, I can make an exception for you."
However, Duke Carrot paused for a moment, staring intently into Anvis's azure eyes, and gave a final warning.
"Before I tell you, Anvis, I must state one thing in advance: secrets have weight! When you learn this secret, it also means that you must be prepared to bear its weight!
The moment you know this secret and leave my realm, a prophet will immediately know that there is one more person who knows this secret.
If you are not ready for this, I can pretend you never asked this question, and this is your last chance to turn back! ”
"I think I'm ready for everything, Father."
Under Carrot's gaze, the young man with light blond hair shook his head slightly. His deep blue eyes reflected the frosty fire, looking extremely mysterious.
"good--"
Without saying anything more, Carlotte nodded and began to tell the unknown history.
"The origin of this matter can be traced back to the origin of Alfred and the Olivendi family..."
Back in the days of the ancient magic empire, the ancestors of the Olivendi family and the Alfred family once joined forces to explore a high elf relic from the ancient golden age.
It was a bird bloodline research institute of the high elves, but due to the long time, the energy supply of the ruins was cut off and the constant device in the bloodline storage cabinet stopped working, causing all the bloodlines in stock to lose their activity.
The two disappointed people were about to leave, but they accidentally discovered a secret room deep in the blood storage room.
In a huge spherical magic instrument that occupies most of the room's interior, the only two legendary blood samples are carefully preserved.
Thus, the head of the Alfred family and the head of the Olivendi family obtained the original legendary bloodline. One is the Frost Wind Crystal Bird from the Ice and Wind System, and the other is the Radiant Bird of Paradise from the Light System.
Afterwards, the two men, whose strength had greatly increased, were valued by Emperor Gloria and became one of the four founding dukes.
Because of this, the two families have always been secretly close.
But few people know that the two legendary bloodlines were not used up by the ancestors of the two major families, but a small part remained.
After many failed attempts to break through to the ninth level and being unable to make any progress, the patriarchs of the two major families finally remembered them.
"...Do you know, Avis? According to our observations, this world lacks something that allows us to break through to the legendary level. We temporarily named it the legendary factor.
Whatever it is, it must be present in the blood of the legendary being.
Perhaps this world is missing something, but the path of blood is special. We don’t need to comprehend the rules from the outside world. The answers to all are hidden in the origin of blood!”
After recounting the origins of the two major families, the Duke finally got to the point.
"Our ancestors used blood, but due to the contamination of their own blood, they were unable to reach the purest level. Therefore, we changed our strategy and decided to directly use the original blood as the basis for cultivation to prepare a truly perfect experimental subject."
Therefore, the two families secretly started a forbidden magic experiment, named: [Creating Legend].
But the initial results were disappointing. Even if cultivated at all costs, the experimental subjects cultivated with a single bloodline could only grow to the limit of the ninth level at most.
According to the subsequent research of the two major families, the reason for the failure was that with the passage of time, the [Legendary Factor] in a single bloodline was no longer sufficient to break through the legend.
With a new experimental idea, the two families exchanged each other's blood, trying to research out double-bloodline atavists, and use the power of the growth of the two bloodlines to jointly break through the legendary chasm.
If one bloodline is not powerful enough, then use two! But it is not easy to fuse two different legendary bloodlines together.
To this end, the two families did not hesitate to risk angering the royal family by marrying each other, just to further try to integrate their bloodlines.
It was not until the birth of Avis and the observation of the delicate balance of the two bloodlines in him that the two major families finally saw hope of success.
Fiona is the forbidden life form created by mixing the remaining legendary blood of the two major families. She is also the only successful experiment before the last bit is exhausted.
The rest of the test subjects were transformed into twisted and exploded flesh and blood, broken ice flakes, photochemical dust, etc. during the blood experiment.
