Chapter 327: Golden Scepter
The scepter was placed in a mess with many other relics in the intermediate area, and it did not look very conspicuous.
Most of the students around were looking for targets in the low-level area, and the few senior students who were checking the mysterious objects in the intermediate area did not notice it for the time being.
In fact, this is the normal situation.
Normally, a high-level professional can confirm the specific purpose of most relic items with just a scan using their mental power.
But there are always some things that cannot be identified, and they need to be carefully tested by scholars of the occult before their functions can be finally confirmed.
These mysterious objects excavated from ancient ruins have varying degrees of difficulty in cracking, depending on their type.
Below level 4, relic objects that emit low-level magic fluctuations are easier to crack than objects that have no magic fluctuations at all.
Objects with more common appearances, such as bottles, beads, mirrors, etc., are easier to crack than those strange and bizarre objects whose purpose cannot be identified.
Normally, the easiest types to crack are those that emit low-level magic fluctuations and have obvious magic conduction structures.
The most difficult ones are those strange objects. They don't have any magic circuits, but they can cause various mysterious effects.
After confirming the target, Avis picked up the dark golden scepter and examined it carefully.
When picking up the scepter, Avis's hand sank slightly. The weight of the scepter was heavier than he had imagined.
When you hold it in your hand and observe it carefully, you can see that the true color of the scepter is actually dark black. The dark gold color from a distance comes from the countless extremely fine and precise golden secret pattern circuits on the surface.
Avis tried to inject a bit of magic power into it, and the golden secret pattern on the surface of the scepter lit up slightly.
However, it only lit up slightly, and nothing happened. Even if he continued to increase the amount of magic power he injected, there was no change.
Based on the fact that it was classified as an intermediate item, it should be able to emit a magical aura equivalent to above the fourth level and below the seventh level.
Without continuing the test, Avis held the scepter in one hand, glanced casually at the other items, and then turned his gaze to Claire.
At this time, the half-elf girl was also wandering in the intermediate area, picking and choosing among a pile of strange things.
Finally, she chose a grayish-white broken slate. On it was a unique spiral text with very smooth lines and no sharp corners. Avis had no impression of it.
"Avis, have you chosen yet?"
Noticing the boy's gaze, Claire looked at Avis while holding the stone slab that was slightly larger than her body.
When she was with these relics, she returned to her normal state.
"Yes, I chose it."
Anvis smiled and showed the scepter to the girl.
After looking at the scepter in the boy's hand, Claire couldn't see anything special about it, so she stopped asking questions.
After registering the selected items with the old wizard, the 'gatekeeper' of the mysterious library, the two said goodbye to each other.
On the way back, Anvis unexpectedly ran into Harvey.
"Hey, Anvis, you are still so self-disciplined! As a gentleman, isn't it a bit ungentlemanly to let those ladies who are complaining and empty because they can't get your love stay alone in their empty rooms?"
This guy walked over holding the hand of a petite blue-haired girl. There was nothing wrong with his expression and tone, but he just seemed to deserve a beating for some reason.
"Hey, Harvey, how does it feel to be chosen as the new Pamir Playboy by Moon Shadow magazine?"
With a deliberate sneer, Avis glanced at his new female companion.
She had blue hair, blue eyes, and a little baby fat on her cheeks. She looked a little shy when Avis looked at her. She seemed to be a naive new student this year.
Every time I run into this guy, the girl next to him is always a different one.
Of course, in his own words, he is not a playboy, but...
"As a bright and blazing flame, there are always some poor little moths that will unconsciously fly towards me. The word playboy does not suit me, but I just can't bear to extinguish their light——"
Harvey narrated the confession of a passionate man in a tone like that of a stage play, and suddenly hugged the girl beside him, and blew gently in her ear amid her small exclamation.
The girl's body shuddered as if she had received an electric shock, her cheeks were so red that they seemed to be dripping, and she leaned limply into Harvey's arms, dazed.
"…If you're just here to waste my time, tell me now, while you can still talk, do you want to be a frog or a lizard?"
A silver-gray Rubik's Cube appeared in his palm. Avis narrowed his azure eyes dangerously, and he opened his pocket watch to check the time.
"Sorry, Anvis, I actually came to see you for something else."
Harvey immediately put away his weird look and looked serious.
"You should already know that this year's college competition is held in the remains of the meteorite, right? What I want to say is, let's unite! That way, we can definitely get a good ranking in the competition!"
While raising his hands to gesture ostentatiously, Harvey secretly extended his mental power to convey the real message to Avis's sea of consciousness.
'Originally, the venue for this year's competition was planned to be the ruins city in the Kovanka Basin. The meteorite ruins were used as the venue for a temporary change by the academy's top management. The purpose is unknown.'
'The person who made the decision to change the rules was [Psychedelic Light] Hughes Duman, one of the vice presidents of Pamir.'
'It was once suspected that he was connected to a special unknown force in the Federation, but there was no evidence to prove this.'
The transmission of the mental information took only a moment, and then Harvey put down his hand, waiting for Avis's reply with hopeful eyes.
"Unfortunately, Harvey, if you want to cooperate, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person. I won't really participate in the competition."
Avis nodded to him imperceptibly and waved his hand, showing no interest in cooperation.
"Well, if you don't want to, just pretend I never said anything."
Harvey shrugged, put his arm around his female companion and walked away.
Watching him gradually leave, Avis thought about the information he provided and returned to his residence.
Obviously, Sir Harvey also has his own special intelligence channels.
Putting this matter aside for the moment, Avis entered the laboratory carrying the scepter, ready to charge it.
Yes, that scepter needs to be charged to be truly effective.
It is not actually a separate weapon or magic item, but a special activation key used to activate and control the ultra-ancient forbidden weapon [Colossus of Themis].
It was also a relic of the High Elves' Golden Age, and was originally the ultimate magic unit used to guard the floating city.
When the energy is sufficient, it can exert a combat power that is no less than that of the ninth level. The annihilation rule weapon it carries is something that even the ninth level would be very wary of and dare not face directly.
Specifically, it is similar to an ultimate enhanced version of an alchemical golem or magical construct.
