Chapter 79 The Reason for the Chance Encounter
“Next, it is the second stage of this lesson.
You have three magic hours to explore freely. When the ball of light in the air turns golden, come back here and gather.
Any items you obtain during the exploration will be yours, but remember to bring them with you, as we will use them in later lessons.
Finally, beware of those hidden magical traps and dangerous underground creatures. I don't want to see any casualties among you!"
Nancy waved her hand, and the magic power gathered into a gentle whirlwind under her will, blowing away the floating dust around the fountain pool.
Then, she sat by the cleaned pool, took out a magic book with a gray-white cover and began to read it by herself.
After receiving the order to explore freely, everyone dispersed and headed to various parts of the city ruins.
Among them, a small number of stronger second and third level Pamir students all chose to go to the majestic building behind the fountain.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this building was probably the city lord's mansion or something like that.
There, the chances of obtaining valuable gains are the highest.
Indeed, the ruins explorers from the academy may have explored this place thoroughly before, and all important items have been looted.
But valuable gains are not necessarily some kind of treasure. The decorative style, structural features, inscribed murals, cracked mechanisms and ancient magic arrays here are also extremely valuable knowledge for them.
After all, their main purpose is to learn, not to hunt for treasure.
………
Strolling leisurely in a dilapidated high elf garden, Anvis seemed to be casually observing the surrounding elven buildings.
But underneath the white glove on his left hand, a gem-encrusted ring shone with a faint light, connecting to an invisible mystical eye in mid-air.
The surrounding environment was strangely full of vitality. Although the original vegetation had long since turned to dust, the strange fluorescent spore plants unique to the underground world had replaced them and were growing luxuriantly here.
Pretending to explore the surrounding building structures, Avis controlled the Mystic Eye to fly slowly, secretly paying attention to the girl's real-time location.
He was not worried that his actions would be discovered, as many students cast similar spells to explore their surroundings.
When the free exploration began, Anvis's attention was on Claire.
As he expected, the girl did not go into the City Lord's Mansion with many high-level students to explore, but chose to go to the ordinary residential area of the city.
Compared with the buildings on both sides of the Central Avenue, the buildings there are obviously more damaged and dilapidated.
Although she was the only one exploring in that direction, her behavior at this time did not seem out of place due to the large area of the ruins.
"I feel like this stalking scene is a little familiar, as if I've experienced it in some game in my previous life..."
While observing secretly, Avis had some strange thoughts.
He didn't intend to take his chances on his own. The best way to explore the ruins was to keep a close eye on Claire's every move.
As a celebrity no less famous than Albinus in her past life, she had a strange aura about her.
She often encounters some strange events related to ancient ruins, but she is always lucky enough to gain great benefits and escape safely.
But it should be noted that since she is lucky, you need to think twice before becoming her companion.
There is a saying among the people of the Empire: 'When a tiger chases you, you don't need to outrun the tiger, you just need to outrun your companion.'
Claire is the companion you can never outrun.
"Forget it. Simply controlling the Mystic Eye to follow shouldn't count as stalking. How can the spellcaster's business be counted... huh?"
In the visual images sent back by the magic eye, the girl observed the surrounding buildings and entered a seemingly ordinary two-story building on one side of the residential area.
The pearly white stone walls with curved decorative lines were weathered and eroded, and the light green elf tile sloping roof was badly damaged.
The wooden shutters had long since turned to dust, leaving only the empty relief window frames...
Everything seemed no different from the rest of the buildings on either side.
Have you made any discoveries?
Avis walked out of the courtyard and calmly headed towards the small building chosen by the girl.
He didn't walk fast. After all, following someone secretly was not a glorious thing.
Besides, we can't be sure that she has discovered something. It is possible that she just went in to take a look casually.
“Boom—”
A loud noise was heard, and a piece of the roof of the small building covered with elven tiles collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Very good, now it is certain that she has discovered something.
And there was a reason for the ‘chance encounter’: I noticed the roof collapsing and came to check it out.
Avis smiled slightly and quickened his pace towards the small building.
One or two students in the distance were also attracted by the noise of the collapse, but when they saw Avis had gone away, they stopped paying attention.
Except for a girl named Pekkala who was always keeping a close eye on his movements.
From the first time they met, she noticed Anvis's extraordinaryness.
The freshman welcome ceremony received perfect reviews. The etiquette was perfect and elegant, and the attitude was always calm and natural.
All this meant that he was very likely from one of those truly ancient families! After the dinner, after everyone's subtle probing, she was even more certain of this.
Pekkala is from the Baivana Province in the south of the Empire. She is a mixed race of Imperial and Federal people, with long wavy golden hair and beautiful light violet eyes.
Her father is a real big businessman. As one of the giants of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the largest chamber of commerce in the entire empire, his annual profit can reach tens of millions of gold coins.
But in this world, many things cannot be bought with gold coins.
Although their families were even wealthier than many small and medium-sized nobles, the merchant class still had a low social status and was not favored by the upper-class nobles. They were more often regarded as vulgar upstarts.
Besides, her father had dozens of daughters, and she was just one of them.
Because of her extraordinary talent and her mother's high status in her father's heart, she was able to fight for this precious opportunity to enter Pamir.
But her talent is not outstanding compared to that of Pamir Academy.
For this one spot in the Pamir Academy of Mysteries and Relics, her father spent millions of gold coins! This was based on the premise that the mysterious school was very unpopular! And all this was just to give her a ticket to the upper class.
Pecora knew that with her current talent and the resources at her disposal, graduation might not be a problem, but she was destined not to achieve much.
Unless she can get in touch with a true genius or the descendant of a great noble family.
All of the above was told to her quietly by her mother before she boarded the airship!
At this time, although her strength was not enough to detect the magic eye in the sky, she noticed that Avis suddenly went to the collapsed house. The girl's instinct told her: Chase him, immediately! Originally, she was still hesitating about how to contact Avis without appearing too deliberate.
Now, she felt like she had the perfect reason.
I noticed the roof collapsing and came to check it out.
Thinking happily in her heart, Pekara quickly changed direction and chased in the direction of Avis.
"ah!"
The next moment, the girl, who didn't pay attention to her feet, tripped and almost fell to the ground.
