Chapter 140 Travel Observations (Part 1)
“According to what they said, the source of these gemstones and harmonizers is an overseas island that has recently established trade relations with the Yar Continent.
The people on the island boarded a strange black sailing ship and landed at Dilas, a port town of the Kingdom of Capelan on the west side of the Yar continent, bringing with them a large amount of the island's specialty resources.
The most precious of these are the 'Heart of Amis' and the 'Dust of Amis'
—Yes, these are the gems and harmonizers, as the islanders call them."
After touching the gem on the pure gold table again, Evan smiled and pushed it towards Anvis.
"You know, Avis, the effect of this gem in increasing the speed of mental power can be superimposed with the effect of coffee beans in activating mental power. It feels very good."
"Really?"
As if curious about the effect Evan mentioned, Avis reached out and touched the gem with interest.
Then he took another big sip of the coffee that glowed with a strong green fluorescence, acting completely unguarded.
The rich and fragrant liquid goes down the throat, carrying with it the unique fragrance of magic spores and just the right amount of life radiation.
Under the combined effects of coffee and gems, Avis felt his mental strength become unusually active.
My mind suddenly felt extremely clear, and my whole body seemed to be immersed in light and soft clouds. I even had the illusion of a mental breakthrough.
"I think you're right, Brother Evan, it does work wonderfully."
While slowly sipping the coffee, Anvis praised the superposition effect mentioned by Evan.
"Hahaha, that's right! Ever since I accidentally discovered the combination of gemstones and coffee, I've been fascinated by this wonderful taste—"
Hearing this, Evan also laughed, feeling very satisfied that Avis agreed with his opinion.
“However, Brother Evan, to get here from the west coast of the continent, you have to cross the entire Itel Kingdom Federation.
Since the caravan traveled such a long distance, the news of this new variety of gemstones and harmonizers must have spread along the way, right?"
Placing the bone china coffee cup back on the saucer in his hand, Avis raised the question again.
Evan nodded and held up a finger.
“That’s the point, Anvis! Although the caravan traveled a long distance, the news didn’t seem to spread very far.
All the intelligence forces I deployed within the Itel Federation have not sent back any information related to this gem and harmonizer.
No one named a newly discovered gem after themselves in the Magic Times—"
As he spoke, Evan raised his eyebrows, spread his hands, and spoke with a hint of contempt.
"You know, those country magicians in the Federation love to do this kind of thing the most."
Then, he threw a piece of "sugar cube", a color-changing harmonizer, into the cup.
At the same time, he slowly stirred the coffee in the cup with magic power, allowing the cup and saucer to float in the air.
"At first, I also suspected that those aliens were not telling the truth, but after careful questioning, although their explanations were hard to believe, I couldn't find any problems."
“According to the aliens in the caravan, they had just left the port of Dilas when they encountered a strange thick fog that suddenly descended on the wild trade road.
When they passed through the fog and walked out from the other side of the thick fog, the surrounding environment had changed drastically.
The original open plain terrain turned into desolate mountains and primeval forests.
They were on the sunny side of a mountain, on a gentle slope covered with wild thistles, bluebells and cattails.
Since they didn't know where they were, the caravan could only temporarily determine the direction and continue on their way.
The first city they saw was Fengjin City."
Evan took another sip of the coffee that had taken on a strange and colorful color and sighed with satisfaction.
“You know, Anvis—in our position, we have to be very careful about everything we do.
Because you don’t know which things are traps and snares that others deliberately set for you.”
“So, I immediately invited the family’s high-level prophet to predict the descriptions of those foreign merchants and to distinguish the truth from the false.
Then, using gemstones and harmonizers as a medium, they predicted their true origins and compared them with the statements of foreign merchants.
“The prophecy shows that what those merchants said was true. The source of the gems and harmonizers is indeed from an isolated island overseas.
So I asked the fortune teller again to predict the degree of danger of this trip.
And whether there is a conspiracy against me personally or against the Olivendi family behind this. "
“As a result of the second prophecy, this trip will encounter some twists and turns, but there will not be any major danger.
And there is no conspiracy behind this—"
"You know, for something new like this, Avis, it's far from enough to make decisions remotely from behind based on past experience.
After all, there is an old saying that goes, 'Ideals and reality are always different'. In other words, 'Details determine success or failure'."
“Since I couldn’t confirm how long it would take for the news to spread, I immediately took the family’s ultra-long-distance teleportation array and headed to a secret branch of the family in the Itel Federation, which is closest to the west coast of the continent.
Then we boarded the alchemical airship and headed to Dylas."
As he spoke, Evan drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, then let go of the cup and saucer, allowing them to disappear on their own.
He took out a new gem and held it in his hand. In a cloud of relaxation and comfort, he leaned back comfortably and squinted his eyes as he sank into the sofa.
"But, Brother Evan."
Looking at Evan, who was leaning back on the sofa with squinting eyes, Avis also drank the coffee in one gulp. Then, like Evan, he let go of the cup and saucer and spoke with a smile.
“I remember my father once said to me when I was very young:
'Never, ever, put yourself in harm's way.'"
"I think this sentence makes a lot of sense—"
As he said this, Avis's eyes seemed to be fixed on Evan's ice-blue eyes unintentionally.
"You are right, dear Anvis."
Hearing this, Evan shrugged and smiled humorously.
"But our mothers also said: 'In this ever-changing world, the only way to stay where you are is to keep moving forward.'
Just like the first captain who discovered the elven continent, Juris Blois.
If he had just thought, like his subordinates, that the detector was malfunctioning instead of checking the detector himself.
Then, the glorious name that will be recorded in history in the future will probably be replaced by someone else—"
"So, sometimes, I agree more with my mother's point of view."
They looked at each other and burst into laughter.
