Chapter 50 Mercury Prophecy

"Next, here is my personal parting gift for you."

The Duke opened the drawer and took out an earring made of gray translucent crystal.

"The restoration pendant, which stores an eighth-level advanced restoration spell.

When you actively activate it, or when the life fluctuation is reduced to a certain level, the pendant will rewind your or other recipients' physical state to one hour ago, but the mental power and some other special powers will not be restored."

"The pendant can only be activated once every three days. In addition, don't activate it too frequently.

If you activate it for the second time within seven days, its spell effect may cause you some permanent damage."

The Duke waved his hand, and the pendant floated towards Avis, floating together with the other three pieces of equipment.

A magic ornament with an eighth-level top-grade life-saving spell! Before crossing, he had never even heard of it!

In a sense, this is a resurrection stone with usage restrictions and cooling, but it will not be consumed!

"Thank you for your gift, I like this gift very much."

Putting away his thoughts, Avis smiled appropriately and saluted the Duke again to express his gratitude.

"Put it away. If you need anything else, you can ask for it now."

Putting the four items into the ring as he said, Avis thought for a while and said.

"Father, I also hope to take a book of the prophecy school from the library."

"Oh? Which one did you like?"

Hearing a familiar request, the Duke raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Avis with a little curiosity.

"Mercury Prophecy Book"

"Mercury Prophecy Book?"

Rubbing the hollow secret gold cufflinks with his fingertips, the Duke thought for a while.

"Well, yes, I remember it. It was something left by the second chief prophet of the family.

According to the last message he left, he was going to a remote place to find something, and then there was no news.

Before leaving, he left the book in the family's large library. After he disappeared, the family had a ninth-level person who went to look for him, but in the end, nothing was found."

As he said, the Duke looked at Avis, with a hint of seriousness in his blue eyes.

"You have the gift of prophecy, I can decide to give it to you. But you must promise: never lend it out privately, or teach the knowledge in it to others privately!"

"I promise you!"

Anweisi put his right hand on his chest, met the Duke's serious gaze, and promised solemnly.

Duke Carrot nodded.

"Is there anything else you need?"

"No, father."

"Well-"

The Duke nodded again, his blue eyes staring at the four sons who were about to travel far away, and a deep admiration flashed in his eyes.

When he closed his eyes, the scenes of Anweisi's childhood seemed to be still in front of him. But when he opened his eyes again, the young son of the past had grown into the elegant boy in front of him.

Just like himself back then, he was humble, polite and calm. Deep in his blue eyes was the strong confidence brought by knowledge and power.

Looking at it, Duke Carrot sighed softly.

Although he was known as the youngest ninth-rank in the empire, the Duke suddenly felt a moment of emotion when he looked at Avis's clear blue eyes.

——I am old after all.

The next moment, the Duke's expression became serious, and he completely drove away this somewhat negative emotion from his heart.

"Remember, Avis, after Karlas, you represent the face of the Olivendi family! Don't let me down-"

"I understand, father!"

Avis was also serious, standing upright in a pure white dress, staring at the Duke's blue eyes, and answered very seriously.

"Very good."

The Duke showed an admiring smile without concealing it.

"Go, do what you want to do."

Avis bowed again, and then politely left the study.

In the study, the Duke sat back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously stroking the emblem ring on his index finger, his eyes slightly closed, and I don't know what he was thinking.

………

The Book of Mercury Prophecy is a strange book with a cover that looks like liquid metal. When you hold it in your hand, you can even see the cover material ripple slightly.

The mirror silver divination that Avis had mastered before was one of the basic spells of the mercury prophecy school recorded in the Book of Mercury Prophecy.

This book describes in great detail the practice methods and various secrets of the mercury prophecy school, and contains many key points that need to be paid attention to.

Moreover, the author not only left written records, but also left spiritual imprints related to the spells.

When the reader communicates with the imprint with spiritual power, he can directly experience the specific feelings and process of casting the spell.

This is the fundamental reason why Avis specifically asked for this book.

But to be honest, few magic books are so detailed.

Avis suspected that the second-generation chief prophet who left this book might have vaguely predicted his possible future.

Therefore, he recorded everything he had learned in advance, so that if he encountered an accident on this trip, his inheritance would not be cut off.

After getting it from the big library, Avis went to the alchemy laboratory of the castle again.

There is a basic magic item of the mercury prophecy school that needs to be made by him personally.

Before leaving Karlas, he plans to complete it as soon as possible.

But speaking of Karlas...

Anvis paused, and he suddenly remembered the player follower he recruited some time ago.

He didn't know how he was doing now.

After thinking about it, Anvis sent a magic message to the head of the Chamber of Commerce under him through the crystal ball.

He asked about the current situation of the last dragonborn who was sent to the caravan by him.

After receiving the instructions from the big boss behind him, the head of the Chamber of Commerce quickly contacted the leader of the elf's caravan. After obtaining the information Anvis needed, he sent it back through the crystal ball as soon as possible.

"The new elf is good in everything, but he is a little too enthusiastic. He always asks others if they need help. And sometimes he says something difficult to understand."

…

"Unlike his weak appearance, he trains very hard every day, even harder than the good guys in the caravan.

But he seems to have the habit of eating while training. He can often be seen finishing a set of exercises, taking out a few broad leaf lettuces to eat, and then continuing to do the next set."

…

"One thing is strange, he doesn't seem to need to go to the bathroom, and he sleeps very little.

On his first night as an apprentice guard, a guy got up in the middle of the night. He was halfway through the bathroom when he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he turned around, the elf was standing behind him! The guy was so scared that he almost lost his pants!"

…

Browsing the returned information, Avis imagined a possible scenario.

Seeing the NPC leave the caravan alone in the middle of the night, the last dragonborn, who thought there was a hidden task to trigger, quietly followed.

The green eyes reflected the flickering light of the campfire, and the faint words sounded from behind the NPC: Do you need help?

Yes, this is very player--

But since this is the case, it is just right to take this opportunity to conduct further experiments on the characteristics of players.

After thinking about it, Avis wrote a letter, listed some experimental projects, and specifically instructed that the experimental results should be sent to him in the same form of a letter.

Then, he sealed the envelope with a special secret method and asked the family messenger to send it to the head of the Chamber of Commerce.

After finishing all this, Avis closed the door of the alchemy laboratory and devoted himself to manufacturing.
