Chapter 775 Darkness
"His Majesty the Stargazer wants to take you as his student?"
As the mini-projection of the Stargazer faded, Albinus looked at Avis with a peculiar gaze.
The meaning in that look was obvious: 'You actually have a talent for prophecy?'
"I do have some talent in the prophecy school, but due to my identity, it is not convenient for me to publicize it. Currently, only my parents know about it."
Avis shook his head and gave a more reasonable explanation.
"If I add the gift of prophecy to my identity as the biological descendant of Duke Carrot, then there will be a lot of malicious eyes directed at me."
"So you deliberately chose the mystical school in the Royal Pamir Academy in order to reduce your presence and create a low-key and eccentric mystic scholar persona?"
Holding a glass of crystal berry juice, Albins leaned back casually and shook his head with a bit of regret.
“Well, I guess your talent must be very terrifying, but His Majesty the Stargazer is currently sleeping. Even if he wants to accept you as a student, I’m afraid he will have to wait until His Majesty wakes up again.
Also, my teacher wants to contact you through this crystal ball. Do you need me to help you activate it?"
"Of course, if there are any items behind this crystal ball that need to be activated, I'll trouble you to do it for me."
Avis shrugged, decisively showing his safety-conscious side.
Albins didn't care and just continued to activate the crystal ball with his mental power.
The miniature projection that appeared this time was Vernica, the [Ring of Time and Space], one of the three Speakers of the Magic Council.
She is a silver-haired, black-eyed woman covered in starlight. The flowing power of time gathers under her feet into an illusory river that connects end to end, making her body appear hazy in the starlight.
"Anvis Lo Olivendi, I have heard of your name for a long time. To be honest, we are a little unclear about how we should face you."
Looking at Anvis, Vernika spoke softly, but her voice simultaneously contained the voices of old age, adulthood, youth, and childhood.
“Before he fell asleep, Bruntz warned us that if we become enemies with you, the Continental Magic Council will suffer an unprecedented blow in the future.
But if we maintain a normal relationship with you, then when the darkness comes in the future, you will become our most important ally."
"Your Highness Vernica, I wonder what exactly you mean by 'darkness'?"
Avis couldn't help but feel confused about the words he heard repeatedly from the Stargazer and the Ring of Time and Space.
"I know you will ask this question, but the stargazer did not tell us the details. According to him, spreading information about it will also speed up its arrival. The more people know the inside story, the faster the darkness of the future will come."
Vernika shook her head slightly at Anvis' question.
"'Darkness' is what Bruntz saw from the future destiny after he broke through the ninth level. Although I don't have the gift of prophecy, as an explorer of infinite time and space, when I look into the future, I also have an ominous feeling, which prevents me from continuing to pursue it further.
Sir Anvis, our bottom line is that there cannot be another prophet who breaks through the ninth level in this era, otherwise everything will go out of control. No one below the legendary level can escape the darkness that comes early.
Everything we do is to seek a glimmer of hope for humanity from the darkness of the future."
"I understand that this process may inevitably conflict with some of your interests, but we can make some compensation for this. We don't really want to be your enemy.
Brents told us some things about you, and he once said that there were things about you that even he couldn't see clearly.
It’s pretty amazing, honestly. No one in all of human history has ever achieved anything like this at your age.”
"So, about the Olivendi family..."
As Vernika mentioned this, Avis's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became deep.
“The four great families of the empire will inevitably disappear. This is not a threat from us, but a simple statement.
Just because that is the choice made by history and the direction in which destiny is moving.
The new era needs the debris of the old era as nutrients to grow. Anyone who stands in the way of the tide of the times will be torn apart just like an ordinary person facing a storm. "
With that, Vernika ended the topic.
"Finally, Mr. Anvis, I have one more thing. I think it's a piece of advice for you. It's best to stop the plan of the Federal Speaker as soon as possible."
"Stop the Federal Speaker's plan? His plan threatens you? What good does that do me?"
Not satisfied with Vernika's previous reply, Avis looked at her with a somewhat cold expression.
“I don’t deny that the Federal Speaker’s plan will have a negative impact on us, but his plan will only be a greater threat to you.”
Vernika let out a small laugh.
"Of course, this is what the stargazer said. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'm just helping him pass on the message."
“…”
Avis' eyelids twitched. These riddlers and fortune tellers were so annoying.
Oh, it turns out that the Riddler's real body has fallen asleep again because of him.
That's okay.
"Although I don't know how much strength you have hidden, but in the conversation just now, my teacher seemed to treat you as someone of equal status to her."
As the crystal ball dimmed again, Albins shook the emerald green goblet in his hand, his eyes becoming somewhat playful.
"Dear Anvis, Your Majesty, you are really good at giving people surprises."
"Well, Your Majesty the Ring of Time and Space probably saw my future achievements. I am indeed very surprised and ashamed to be valued so much by Your Majesty."
Anvis laughed it off, not wanting to give anyone a chance to criticize him.
"...Your hypocritical face is really disgusting."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Albins simply turned his head away, not wanting to look at Anvis's smug expression.
"Forget it. Apart from my teacher's matter, I already have a preliminary design concept for the miniaturization of the [Eternal Core] that you mentioned to me before.
But this time, you must pay for all the materials. I remind you in advance that this design will require a lot of top-grade materials, and I cannot guarantee the success rate, so you must prepare more materials. "
"I already have a prototype. Great. You can give me a list of the materials I need."
Hearing Albins' words, Anvis immediately sat up straight, his fake smile instantly disappeared, and his eyes became serious.
Albins, who was familiar with Avis's style, took out a list that had been prepared long ago from his space ring and handed it to him.
"Hmm... Eternal Star Sand, Void Silver, Star Blue Gold, Constant Mirror Spirit, Original Dark Split Crystal..."
Looking at the list of rare ninth-level materials with double-digit names and a large number of high-level materials, Avis fell into deep thought.
"Is that all you need? How about I give you ten portions of each material first? If it's not enough, you can come back to me for more."
"…Three copies are enough. No matter how good my design is, it won't have so many mistakes."
After staring at Avis for a while, Albins spoke quietly.
"I really should have reported more ninth-level materials."
