Chapter 675: Heart-pounding Answer
"Yes, just as you thought, Fiona is not your biological sister, but the only successful experimental subject of the [Creating Legends] project."
Seeing that Anvis seemed to want to say something, Carlotte spoke directly.
"...But, father, I have heard another saying that the reason why this world cannot break through the legendary level is because the rules are not complete enough."
Hearing such a secret, Avis couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and at the same time took the opportunity to ask about other puzzles of his own.
As the product of the union of two legendary bloodlines, Fiona's origin was a little more bizarre than he had imagined, but it was not completely unexpected. After all, Fiona's bloodline could not be faked. In any case, it was related to the secret experiments of the two families.
"The rules are not complete? It seems that you have learned a lot about this aspect——"
The Duke looked at Anvis deeply with his pale blue eyes and nodded.
“There are many different opinions on why the Ninth Order cannot break through to the Legendary Stage. The incomplete rules are just one of the opinions that is recognized by many Ninth Orders.
But, Anweisi, you must be clear about one thing. Before a true legend appears, any speculation cannot be confirmed!"
“Before the ninth level of the legendary road, there lies an indescribable chasm. In fact, no one is sure what this chasm is.
And now all the ninth level people are doing is just trying to get through it through their own methods!"
Staring at Avis's somewhat surprised expression, the Duke put his hands behind his back and mentioned an incident that Avis was very familiar with.
"I remember that you once lived in the Itel Kingdom Federation for some time. Then, I think you should be very familiar with the disaster of the construct network that shocked the entire federation in August of the Glorious Year 2462.
The former Federal Speaker gathered the power of countless Internet users by constructing a network, and used them as sacrifices in an attempt to summon the arrival of terrifying extraterritorial gods.
Afterwards, the strong men from the three empires of the continent tried their best to finally put an end to the conspiracy of the former speaker, and destroyed the ceremony when it was about to take place, thus saving the entire continent. "
When talking about the people of the three empires who saved the continent, the Duke smiled strangely.
"Of course, this is just propaganda for the people. Many Ninth Orders know the real situation. The mysterious resistance organization [Circle of Truth] suddenly arrived and ended the Speaker's plan at a critical moment.
Afterwards, we interrogated some of the Ninth Order Councillors who were involved in the incident.
According to their confessions, the original speaker believed that there were missing parts in the rules of this world, so he hoped to gather everyone's strength to break the wall of the sky and embrace the truly complete rules of the outside world."
“Of course, there are too many things involved behind that incident, but if the former speaker really succeeded, then we can at least know whether this path is feasible.
But from another perspective, even the Speaker, who has gathered almost the entire Federation's strength, has failed, so it is certain that the path to breaking through the Zenith Wall is not feasible."
"Just like breaking through from level eight to level nine, there is more than one possible path to breaking through to level legend. Just like the first head of our Olivendi family, he even tried to break through to level legend by making a wish, but ended up disappearing completely.
Fiona's existence is another attempt to break through the legend through the bloodline path."
"I understand, Father."
After listening to the Duke's story, Anvis nodded in understanding.
"Also, I remember you once said that some people in the family disagreed with Fiona's treatment?"
"…Indeed, but I don't remember ever telling you about this."
Hearing Anvis' question, Duke Carrot looked at him strangely. "Really? Maybe you didn't talk to me at the time and I just overheard it, or maybe I 'accidentally' learned it from other channels."
Faced with the Duke's doubts, Avis calmly blocked the Duke's subsequent questions.
"Well, remember that silver key I showed you?"
As he spoke, Duke Carrot waved his hand, and a dark silver key, about the length of a palm and with a handle carved with delicate vine patterns, appeared in front of the two.
“Another voice in the family is exactly related to this.
Because Fiona had previously disappeared inexplicably under the care of the family guardian, some people, led by [Zero Ice Crystal] Pomona, were worried that Fiona would completely disappear in a fateful event, causing the plan of the two families that had lasted for thousands of years to fail completely. "
In this case, it would be better to choose another path, using the silver key as the core medium to set up the ritual array. Then use Fiona as a sacrifice to call on the great existence connected to the silver key.
I once told you that it possesses a power essence so high that we cannot analyze it, which must be related to legend. And its appearance in the form of a key means that the concept of its existence must be related to "door" and "opening".
If we can make the other party's concept touch this world, then perhaps we can use the power of this key to open the door to legend!"
"...I understand, father."
After hearing this, Avis finally understood the whole story.
Obviously, Fiona's fate has caused some people in the family to feel a sense of crisis. They are worried that Fiona will become uncontrollable, which will cause more variables in the plan.
"Well, Anvis, I have answered your question. Now let's go back to the previous question. How do you plan to solve the current predicament facing the family?"
After telling all the key secrets in one breath, the Duke seemed to have unloaded a certain burden. He sat back in his seat with a relaxed body and even crossed his legs leisurely.
"I think you should know that this is not a problem that can be solved by the constructs, demonized soldiers, and self-destructing strangers you created. The core of the problem lies at the ninth level."
"I understand, Father."
Hearing the Duke's question, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Anvis' mouth.
"I joined the Circle of Truth."
“?!”
The expression on his face gradually froze, and the Duke stared at Avis with wide eyes. Thinking of the secret he had just revealed, he suddenly felt his heart and lungs stop.
"…You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, Anvis."
After a while, the Duke spoke with gritted teeth. Avis' words made him feel breathless for the first time in a long time.
"You know, I once lived in the Itel Kingdom Federation for some time."
Ignoring Duke Carrot's expression, which looked like he was having a heart attack, Anvis narrated his experience in a serious manner.
“So, there is actually one thing I didn’t tell you. I was also present when the mysterious and powerful person from the Circle of Truth stopped the conspiracy of the Federal Speaker.
Relying on the power of the "Old Secret Book" to protect me, I did not fall asleep like the other professionals present, so I also attracted the attention of the mysterious strong man.
At that time, I suddenly had an idea and tried to talk to that strong man, and expressed my hope to join the Circle of Truth. As a result, after talking to me for a while, the other party really agreed to my request. "
"At that time, I was the Earl of the Kingdom, a member of the Glorious Alliance, and the leader of Embers, the second largest resistance organization in the Federation. [The Man in the Mirror]
