Watching Fiona leave, Avis tapped the table lightly with his fingers wrapped in white gloves, his eyes deep.
He could tell from the details carved on the magic circle that the function of the strange cylinder should be a node for gathering and outputting magic power, which could absorb and transform the mixed magic power in the environment and output stable attributeless magic power.
It is a part of some huge system, a screw, serving the operation of the entire system.
But this is the only information that can be obtained from this part. What surprised Avis the most was that when he tried to trace the origin and true function of the cylinder through prophecy spell, the spell sent back confusing feedback.
As a ninth-level prophecy wizard, even if it was just a casual divination, he was unable to discover the specific origin of this thing. This is a very unusual situation, proving that there is an extremely high-level anti-prophecy magic object or ritual protection behind this cylinder.
When Avis in his unwillingness to believe in evil strengthened the level of the prophecy ritual and planned to force the divination result, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis like a needle prick in his spirit.
This feeling meant that the existence behind this thing was definitely not weaker than him. If he chose to force the prophecy, he would also be discovered by the other party.
Although the empire does not have a ninth-level prophet, it does not mean that there are no ninth-level prophecy artifacts passed down from ancient times.
Although the effects of these strange objects could not compete with those of a true ninth-level prophet, they were enough to cause him trouble.
But even if the divination failed, this result was enough to prove one thing: this matter was related to the plot of a ninth-order supreme being.
Previously, the eighth-rank magic swordsman of the Glory Alliance had already reported the name of Marquis Beshim. Avis was not sure whether there were other marquises of the Glory Alliance behind this.
At the same time, although the specific function of this cylinder is unclear, the unknown ritual painstakingly created by the ninth-order extreme strongman, and the scale is also very large, its maximum function is probably only one.
——Assist in breaking through the legend.
Whatever the truth, Avis has become intrigued.
Perhaps based on the details of its production and processing technology, it is possible to try to locate its manufacturing location and power, but that is not what he needs to consider. In the division of labor of a power, such trivial matters are handled by subordinates.
For example, he handed the matter over to Fiona to handle. After all, in the original destiny, it was Fiona who cooperated with the people of the "Spark" organization to crack the secret of that thing, and she was the most suitable person to handle this matter.
The change caused by Avis's intervention was that her camp changed from the original free camp to the Hualuotianxia Guild, which was also the direct camp under his [Mirror Man].
The appearance of the Black Knight is very easy to recognize, and the Hualuotianxia Guild did not hide its own information when it went to pick him up. The Glory Alliance probably knows now that this thing was once intercepted by his men.
Avis was a little curious about how they would react next. . ….…. "Damn it, he crossed the line!"
In a mysterious dark palace, several beings whose figures could not be seen clearly gathered together, surrounding an ancient gray-white rock round table.
Their appearances vary. There are strange men wearing dark red masks, silhouettes shrouded in deep shadows like flowing water, young gentlemen dressed in standard aristocratic attire, and even a hazy figure lying in the posture of Venus on a four-poster bed covered by curtains.
At this moment, a slightly angry voice came from the mouth of the figure wearing the dark red mask.
"Yes, he crossed the line, but what can you do to our honorable ninth-level prophet?"
On the other side, behind the curtain, a sweet voice like a silver bell came with a hint of teasing.
"Don't act like it's none of your business, Anrita. If the plan fails, no one here will be able to escape when the royal family settles accounts!"
Hearing this, the figure wearing the dark red mask suddenly growled angrily, but it only resulted in two giggles coming from the shadows.
"Haven't we anticipated this scene, Beshim?"
On the other side, the being shrouded in shadow spoke in a low voice, and the sound made the shadow on his body tremble like water waves.
"Even a child can't wait to try out a new toy. How can a newly promoted ninth-level prophet control himself from playing with fate? Don't worry, the Door in the Eyes has already provided a solution. Although a ninth-level prophet is powerful, he is alone after all. If he gets too involved, our partners will take action to deal with him."
"However, since he is already at the ninth level, and we have no irreconcilable conflicts with him, why can't we bring him in as well?"
After these words were spoken, the others fell silent for a moment.
"There's no need to add unnecessary risks—"
The young nobleman's words were brief and to the point, and at the same time, they also announced the end of the conversation.
Afterwards, the figures of several people disappeared one by one, and the dim round table hall returned to silence again.
In the following period of time, the changes that Anvis was waiting for did not happen. The Glory Alliance remained silent, and even Marquis Beshim did not contact him, as if nothing had happened before.
At the same time, under his arrangement, Fiona obediently took the cylinder to discuss cooperation with the Spark Organization.
However, she did not disguise herself when she went to meet Team Spark, but negotiated with them directly in her true appearance.
This is the girl's little thought. She can't keep pretending forever. This time she has a legitimate reason to use the tiger skin of the [Man in the Mirror] to protect herself, so that other ninth-level people will not dare to attack her easily.
At the same time, if [Silver Eyes] Einstein can escape the pursuit and recover from his injuries, or if the last ninth-level extreme guardian of the family, [Country of Silence] Sidilsi, who is on an adventure outside, returns, her whereabouts can be noticed at the first time.
Currently, as the ambassador of the Hualuotianxia Guild, she has officially established diplomatic relations with the Spark Organization. Leo, the ninth-level leader of the Spark Organization, personally met with her, recognized her status, and agreed to work with the Hualuotianxia Guild to crack the secret of the cylinder.
However, due to her past background and stance, the girl is not welcome in the Spark organization. Although she dares not express it openly due to pressure from leader Leo and the girl's own strength, some rumors still spread behind her back.
After all, she did come from a former noble family, and they could be said to be irreconcilable enemies in terms of their stance.
Fiona didn't have any good solution for this situation, but fortunately she was no longer a member of the Spark Organization. After meeting Leo, she simply returned to the Hualuotianxia base and began to study the reasons for her time travel and how to return to the original world line.
With the secret game between various forces, the situation in the Gloria Empire continued to develop in full swing.
Many "civilian resistance organizations" led by Xinghuo are advancing triumphantly, and the four provinces of the empire have been dragged into the flames of war. Many ambitious small and medium-sized nobles in the Glory Alliance took advantage of the chaos to expand their territories and try to lead their families to further glory.
Although the royal family seems weak and unable to maintain the stability of the entire empire, the territories directly under the royal family always maintain peace under the protection of the three major legions of the empire and many powerful royal guardians.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that, in this situation, the only ones who suffered serious damage were the original four major families of the empire.
It can even be said that this is a conspiracy among multiple forces, intentionally or unintentionally, to divide up everything of the four major families like a cake.
A few months later, the Xinghuo side received news that they had made new discoveries about the secret of the cylinder. (End of this chapter)
