Chapter 49 Preparations Before Departure

August 31, morning.

The last day before Anvis left Moon Castle, Duke Carrot summoned him again.

"Father——"

In the study, Anvis put his right hand on his chest and bowed to the Duke.

The Duke was reading a document and occasionally made some notes on it with a magic feather pen.

A minute or two later, he put the pen back into the crystal ink bottle and stared at Anvis with his blue eyes. In a seemingly casual tone, he asked a question that made Anvis' heart beat faster.

"I heard that yesterday, you made a magical artifact with growth potential?"

"Yes, father, it is a low-level growth artifact. I plan to give it to Fiona as a parting gift before I leave."

Unable to guess the Duke's intention of mentioning this matter at this time, Anvis answered slightly cautiously.

"It's great that you can make growth-oriented wonders at this age, Avis. But you have to understand that a person's time and energy are ultimately limited."

Looking at Avis's somewhat nervous expression, Duke Carrot smiled kindly and gave a casual hint.

Avis immediately understood that the Duke was worried that he was too obsessed with his secondary job, thus neglecting the study of magic knowledge and the improvement of his personal strength.

Although he, as a reborn person, did not have this problem, he could not explain this to the Duke.

"I understand, father, I will grasp the energy I will invest in my secondary job in the future."

"Well-"

Duke Carrot nodded and ended the topic.

"Tomorrow is the day you go to Pamir. With your personality, you must have learned about the information of Pamir College in advance, right?"

"Yes, I have a certain understanding of the basic information of the college."

Avis answered modestly.

"So, do you know about the 'association' in Pamir Academy?"

"I know a little bit. It is a small group with a loose structure, which is organized by formal students for various common purposes. It is usually composed of more than five students."

The Duke nodded again, expressing his satisfaction with Avis's answer.

"Very good, what I want to tell you now is one of the associations called 'True Knowledge Society'."

Avis politely tilted his head slightly, and his blue eyes looked at the Duke intently, indicating that he was all ears.

"Although it is not well-known, it is the most powerful and influential association in Pamir College.

Unlike those small associations among ordinary students, Zhenzhi Society is a semi-hidden association. Every year, it only absorbs several to a dozen new blood from the formal students who have passed the freshman period.

Its standards are based on the comprehensive evaluation of the students' background, talent level, etc. Only the most cutting-edge talents are eligible to receive invitation letters."

"If Pamir College gathers the best talents and noble children in the entire empire, it is equivalent to the Gloria aristocracy in the future.

Then Zhenzhi Society is the gathering place of the most cutting-edge elites among the nobles-

Every member who walks out of Zhenzhi Society is the backbone and cornerstone of the future development of the Gloria Empire.

Of course, as a direct descendant of Olivendi, you have already qualified to receive invitation letters in advance. Now I tell you this just to let you have a certain understanding in advance."

As he said, the Duke smiled and touched the emblem ring on his hand. His eyes were slightly absent-minded, as if he recalled the past.

"So far, eight ninth-level professionals have emerged from the True Knowledge Society, including me - yes, I am also a member of the True Knowledge Society.

I will not go into the specific rules of membership, which are on every invitation letter. You can choose whether to join according to your own wishes."

Then, the Duke stood up behind the desk and waved his right hand, and three more items suddenly appeared in the air in the study.

An exquisite staff inlaid with dark blue crystals, a silver-white magic book, and a dark silver ring surrounded by light blue inscriptions.

In the sunlight shining into the study through the window, the three items glowed with magical halos of different colors, appearing extremely beautiful and mysterious.

"These are the parting gifts prepared for you by your three brothers and sisters."

As the Duke spoke, the items in the air suddenly floated towards Anvis and hovered in front of him.

"The Dark Moon Staff can increase the success rate, spell effect and duration of spells. It comes with a sixth-level disintegration spell and can be cast twice a day.

For spells below level 4, its amplification effect is 2.5 times. Spells above level 4 and below level 6 have an amplification effect of 1.5 times, and level 7 spells have an amplification effect of 1.15 times."

"The Mithril Codex has a total of 18 pages, of which three silver pages can record up to level 7 spells, and the remaining ordinary pages can record up to level 6 spells."

"The Ring of the Contemplator can make the wearer think clearly and react quickly. And it has partial resistance to spell power.

When the wearer is attacked by a strong attack, the ring will automatically pop up a defensive force field once a day, and its defense is enough to withstand any attack below level 7."

Pointing to the items in the air, the Duke told Anvis about their effects one by one.

Although he had known them for a long time, Anvis couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he heard these famous names.

All of them were top-quality purple clothes that had been sold at sky-high prices at auction houses in his previous life, and they were well-known! The skills attached are all top-notch!

In his previous life, when Anvis was in his 40s, he once earned a favor from a high-level NPC alchemist through a series of hidden tasks.

Then from the exchange list given by the alchemist, a dark moon staff was selected.

However, the amplification effect of that staff on spells below level 4 is only 2.2 times. The amplification effect of spells above level 4 and below level 6 is only 1.35 times, and the accompanying spells are only level 5 chain lightning.

There is no need to think about the dissociation spell, it is a spell that only masters can possess. The master's move not only requires a huge fee, but also requires a certain degree of favorability with the NPC.

Except for the presidents of big guilds and professional players in clubs, no one can afford to ask a master to take action once.

But even so, the Dark Moon Staff ranked seventeenth on the player staff rankings at that time!

You must know that at that time, the mainstream spells of spellcasters were still between the third and fourth levels, and the staff amplification coefficient was generally less than 1.5x.

A staff with an increase factor of 2.2x and two free fifth-level chain lightning shots every day. It is a real artifact!

The increase in spell effect in "Mysterious Era" is not just a simple increase in magic panel damage.

Rather, it is a flexible and full-range increase including spell stability, spell range, spell duration, etc.——

These three pieces of equipment were not the end. The next thing that appeared in front of Anvis couldn't help but hold his breath a little.
