Chapter 821 Double Insurance
After taking a look at the surroundings, Avis suddenly waved his hand, and a water mirror appeared in front of him.
The mirror reflected a figure shrouded in a black cloak, the details of the figure were hazy and unclear. But on the left chest, there was an exquisite silver-white brooch.
After checking his own changes and finding no problems, Avis walked along the path and slowly entered the castle.
As he walked in, noticing the color of the brooch on his chest, a handsome waiter in silver-embroidered clothes walked out silently from the darkness and led him to the banquet hall.
Avis also remained silent. He could see that although the waiter in front of him looked like a real person, he actually had no independent consciousness in his body. Instead, it was the effect of some kind of ritual magic.
Soon, led by the waiter, Anvis entered the castle's grand banquet hall.
The hall was decorated extremely luxuriously, with rows of long white tables filled with rare dream delicacies. A large number of waiters were walking around with silver trays, providing all kinds of magical drinks to the participants.
At this moment, dozens of black cloaked figures like Avis had gathered in the field. However, most of them had copper brooches on their chests, and there were very few cloaked figures with silver brooches.
Out of some concerns, or perhaps because everyone was wary of each other, almost no one talked to each other and the venue was completely silent.
As the time reached midnight, the door of the hall slowly closed with a creaking sound, the lights in the hall dimmed, and many waiters quietly left.
The next moment, several beams of light focused on the terrace on the second floor of the hall, and on a cloaked figure who had appeared there at some point in time.
On his chest, an exquisite dark gold brooch gleamed brightly.
"Welcome, everyone."
Facing the silent crowd below, the cloaked figure spoke slowly. His voice was low and hoarse, with a strange echo like some kind of whisper.
“No need to wonder, no matter what you are looking for, you will get the answer at the upcoming dinner.
Now, the dream dinner begins!"
As he finished speaking, waiters suddenly came to the crowd again like flowing water, each of them holding a tray with a glowing crystal ball on it.
In Avis's perception, as the waiter approached, the dream space and time around him seemed to suddenly freeze, as if it had been cut off from the world as a whole. Only within the range of the crystal ball on the waiter's tray, time continued to flow normally.
I don't know what the situation is like for other people, but I think it should be similar.
"Anvis Olivendi, you came here because of the difficulties you are facing. We will give you the power to solve all of this."
As Avis watched, a cold message came out from the crystal ball.
"So, what's the price I have to pay for this?"
Avis's rational inquiry was not moved by the pie in the sky on the other side of the crystal ball.
"You are lucky. Your sister was originally our target. So, all you need to do is to cooperate with our actions at the critical moment." . ….….While Avis was talking to the crystal ball, someone was also watching this scene in the study at the top of the castle.
"Is it him? Will he agree?"
Watching Anvis testing the crystal ball, a strange look flashed in Marquis Winter's dark red eyes.
The last time Fiona disappeared, he accidentally learned of Fiona's whereabouts. When he excitedly went to catch her, he lost his incarnations one after another in the deep dream world, and even the rare dagger he carried with him was broken.
During the capture process, he thought he had killed Avis by mistake and carefully avoided him for a long time. But in the end, he learned that Avis and Fiona were brought back from the dream world by Duke Carrot safely.
Since then, he has paid more attention to this offspring of Olivendi who seems to have not grown up yet.
"Anvis Olivendi, the fourth son of Duke Karlas, was born in Moon Castle in the Rainy Month of the Glorious Year 2442. He inherited the legendary blood of both his parents. The initial concentration of both bloods is suspected to have reached level nine, and his talent far exceeds that of his three brothers.
According to intelligence, his learning ability and magical talent displayed in his childhood were both top-notch, even surprising his mentor.
Such a genius should have been fully cultivated by the family, but unfortunately, Fiona, who was born a year later than him, had a blood concentration and cultivation talent that was almost completely superior to his.
This caused more of the resources he should have received to be tilted towards Fiona, and the family also paid more attention to Fiona, which invisibly ignored him. Coupled with the internal appointment of the head of the family, it is impossible for him to have no resentment in his heart. "
Beside Marquis Winter, a gentleman-like man with dark green long hair and wearing a dark green embroidered long-tailed coat and holding a silver-black scepter slowly spoke and narrated Avis's information.
He is Polloch Haig, one of the nine marquises of the empire. He usually acts in a low profile, but in fact he is secretly closely connected with the Revelation Esoteric Cult.
"Our target is Fiona. She will be the perfect body to receive the arrival of the 'Daughter of the Red Cup'. Without Fiona standing in the way, his current predicament will naturally disappear. And having the cult do this will eliminate his suspicion to the greatest extent, which is consistent with his interests."
“But according to my intelligence, Fiona and Avis have a special relationship. They were born only one year apart, which is quite rare for the offspring of high-level professionals.
For this reason, they had a very good relationship when they were young, and even after entering Pamir College, their relationship remained close. Using him as a pawn to deal with Fiona is likely to cause variables. "
Marquis Winter frowned a little, instinctively not optimistic about the action of using Anvis to deal with Fiona.
"Very good relationship? Tsk——"
However, regarding Marquis Winter's worries, Marquis Pollock couldn't help but sneer as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"The affection between the descendants of the imperial duke family? Hehe..."
His face twitched, but Marquis Winter finally said nothing more.
He also knew that what he said might sound a little ridiculous, but he always felt that the relationship between Anvis and Fiona might be different from that between other noble descendants.
If he really would rather give up his own interests and the competition for the position of head of the family and choose to protect Fiona, then they would be alerting the enemy in advance.
After thinking for a moment, Marquis Winter decided to add another insurance for the next operation to capture Fiona.
He took out a Hengjin invitation letter, imprinted a few lines of information on it with magic, and threw it into the dream world.
In fact, he had previously used secret techniques to accidentally locate the location of the legendary floating city of the Circle of Truth, but he had never told anyone this secret, in order to be able to establish communication and cooperation with the other party when necessary.
In the deep dream world, Anvis looked at the invitation letter presented by the floating city of Talingbomiya and fell into deep thought.
