Chapter 664 Night
After learning about this, Duke Carrot was furious and mobilized the forces of the two major families of Olivendi and Alfred to thoroughly investigate the matter, because it damaged the fundamental interests of the two families.
But afterwards, some problematic professionals were found, but who leaked the news was still undetermined.
Fiona's return was a secret even in the Olivendi family. In theory, only the ninth-level of the two families knew about it.
Perhaps with the passage of time, the confidentiality of information has become less absolute, but only the real high-level people may accidentally learn the news.
The method of prophecy also did not work. The other party seemed to have been prepared and completely disrupted and distorted the traces of the web of fate. Even if Avis secretly tried to predict afterwards, he could not restore the clues at that time.
In other words, behind the other party, there was at least an eighth-level prophet whose strength was similar to or even exceeded that of Avis.
But Avis had a vague guess in his heart that there might be a ghost among the high-level people of the two families, and it might even be a ninth-level.
This is not without precedent. After all, the traitors also played a big role in the decline of the Olivendi family in the previous life. Avis can even list a list now.
However, now the matter is done. Whether the traitor is found or not, the news of Fiona's return has been leaked.
For the "good news" of Fiona's return, the other two duke families, several marquises, and several princes and princesses who hold real power in the royal family have sent letters of condolence and gifts.
While seemingly celebrating the Olivendi family, they are also silently conveying threats-they have already known about Fiona's secret return.
At the same time, they euphemistically stated in the letter that when Fiona falls into the hands of the enemy, she is likely to be tortured and leave some hidden injuries.
And they can provide Fiona with comprehensive physical examination and treatment services free of charge. I hope that the Duke will not refuse their kindness for the sake of our colleagues. So as not to delay the injury and cause more serious harm to Fiona.
In this regard, the two families had to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the next situation.
The Olivendi and Alfred families are indeed very strong, but they can never withstand the pressure from all other colleagues in the empire.
They must find allies, which means that the two families can only make a certain degree of compromise.
The result is obvious, and the two families actually have no other choice.
After a fierce discussion, Duke Carrot and the current patriarch of the Alfred family had no choice but to agree to the ninth level of the Enoch and Aslade families to conduct a comprehensive test on Fiona.
However, there is a prerequisite. The test must be carried out at the venue designated by the Olivendi and Alfred families, and under the supervision of the ninth level of the two families, and no test that may cause harm to Fiona is allowed.
After all, for the outside world and even the Olivendi family themselves, the Star Prophecy was originally just a guess that Fiona was related to Fiona, and no one dared to say that they could correctly interpret the meaning of the prophecy.
Guarding Fiona strictly will only make outsiders more desperate to attack Fiona. It is better to retreat to advance, satisfy the curiosity of the other two families, and let the other two families share some of the pressure.
Who knows if you have detected any key information? What if you get the secret of breaking through the legendary level, but hide it?
The detection ceremony was chosen at the end of the glorious month, and the location was located in a magic tower specially built by the Olivendi family in the mountains on the east side of Karlas City. The ninth-level of the Enoch and Aslade families personally took action to test Fiona's current state.
The entire test was carried out under the reflection of a rule-based wonder of the Olivendi family [Mirror of Truth]. This wonder has only one function, which is to show in real time whether the tester has malice towards Fiona.
The effect is simple, but even the ninth-level limit cannot hide itself in its mirror image, adding the greatest degree of insurance to this test.
The outside world has no way of knowing what information the ninth-level of the two families detected, but soon all kinds of strange rumors came out.
Some said that the two families had obtained the secret of breaking through the legendary level, while others said that it was not so exaggerated, and it was just a possible path to break through the legendary level. Some people also said that this was just a scam, and Fiona had nothing to do with breaking through the legendary level.
But in any case, a large number of various rumors swept across the Gloria Empire.
Since the other two families never made any explanation, or their explanations seemed a little pale and powerless, the outside world almost tacitly agreed that the two families had obtained some key information.
In the process of spreading rumors, Anweisi said that he was completely unaware of it, and he did not let any foreigners spread the news. It was all their spontaneous behavior.
Because the matter was too big, Duke Carrot simply let Pamir College pass the graduation assessment for Fiona on the grounds that her strength was enough and she did not need to continue to practice, ensuring that she had graduated from the legal sense of the empire.
When Gloria III ignored the government affairs, Pamir College was unwilling to make enemies with the Olivendi family for no reason, so they agreed to this matter. Fiona became the fastest graduating student in Pamir's history.
Then, Duke Carrot directly arranged for Fiona to live in a whole territory on the west side of the Karlas Province, including Silver Gull City, Black Rock City, Iron Forge City, and a large area of plains and forests, so that she could directly practice as a lord after graduation.
It sounds a bit dangerous, after all, many people are eyeing the girl, but the actual situation is that Fiona is currently an extra-large bait.
The two major families of Olivendi and Alfred really spent a lot of money this time. More than one ninth-level extreme guardian lurked around Fiona, ready to deal with the incoming enemies at any time.
Anyway, the information has been leaked, so just use Fiona as bait, severely injure or even directly kill the first ninth-level who dared to attack Fiona, so that everyone can see the risks of attacking Fiona.

….….
"The trajectory of the stars has changed beyond recognition... What will happen if this continues?"
On the terrace on the top floor of Moon Castle, Avis, wearing a monocle [Mercury Eyes], looked up at the dark blue and clear night sky through the lens, a little absent-minded.
In his [Destiny Vision], which was shrouded in a faint silver-white layer, the invisible vortex of destiny was surrounding a dazzling star, shining brightly just above Moon Castle.
In the interpretation of the prophecy school, this vision symbolizes the beginning of a heroic epic.
And tomorrow is the day when Fiona officially takes office as the lord, and it is self-evident what the vision of the power of destiny tonight represents.
Fiona's departure will be like a spark falling on the top of a gunpowder barrel, completely shaking up the situation of the entire empire.
People with different thoughts gathered together, chasing the girl's footsteps, scrambling to add their own few strokes to her story.
All eyes will be focused on her, whether they are kind or malicious, whether they are blessings, love, admiration, or jealousy, greed, hostility, she must bear it all, just because this is the fate she bears.
Retracting his gaze from the boundless starry sky, Anweisi casually looked down at the terrace.
Although it was late at night, the lights in Fiona's room were still on, and the same was true for the Duke's study and the Duchess's bedroom.
Tonight, I'm afraid many people will have trouble falling asleep.
