Chapter 665 Taking Office

Breathing the unique air at the top of the snow-capped mountains, full of cold ice and snow, Anvis slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the terrace, and then jumped out.

Under his feet, the invisible wind element turned into a staircase, lifting him lightly to the tall arched window of the Duke's study.

"Who's there?"

Although Anvis had tried his best to restrain his breath, at such a close distance, Duke Carrot in the study still noticed something strange outside the window.

Seeing this, Anvis did not hide it, but lightly knocked on the window, signaling the Duke to let him in.

"Anvis...? Shouldn't you be at Pamir College now?"

In the study, Duke Carrot raised his head from the pile of documents and looked at the sudden appearance of Anvis with some confusion. At the same time, he waved his hand to remove the protective magic of the window.

"You are right, Father, so there is indeed another 'I' who is studying peacefully at Pamir Academy."

The body disappeared into the study, and Anvis bowed slightly to the Duke.

"Are you sure this won't go wrong?"

The Duke was startled for a moment, and then understood what Anvis meant. It's nothing more than a clone or some other spell with similar effects, but in the Duke's opinion, doing these in Pamir Academy is quite risky.

"I wonder, in your opinion, am I talking to you in my real body now, or am I just arranging for a clone to return secretly?"

Facing the Duke's blue eyes, Anvis remained calm.

"I understand, this is some kind of adventure for you."

After carefully looking at Anvis's body, the Duke couldn't help but nodded clearly.

"Although I'm not sure, I think this should be your clone."

The magic aura on Anvis was not strong, only level five, but it was able to make him unable to distinguish the authenticity from the fake for a moment.

However, the Pamir Academy is shrouded in the Brilliant Mystery Lock. It would be difficult for Anvis’ methods to hide from the Mystery Lock’s long-term detection. Therefore, in the Duke’s view, the greater possibility is that Anvis’s body is still living normally in the academy and is just arranging arrangements. A clone returns secretly.

"Your insight is always so sharp, Father."

Anvis complimented in a very natural tone. The Duke couldn't tell the difference anyway, so he was now a clone.

"Come to see me in my study in the middle of the night like this. Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Nodding, Duke Carrot no longer dwelled on the matter, but directly asked Anvis's purpose.

"That's right, I heard in the academy that Fiona is about to become the lord."

After thinking about it for a while, Anvis finally revealed his purpose.

"So, I came here specifically overnight to apply to you for the position of Fiona's adjutant."

"Becoming Fiona's lieutenant? Are you serious, Avis?"

The Duke's eyebrows furrowed. He waved his hand and directly swept the unsightly documents between the two of them on the table into the subspace.

At the same time, his upper body leaned forward slightly, his blue eyes staring closely at Anvis's, as if he wanted to directly read the thoughts in his little son's mind.

The position of lord's adjutant is a rather special position in this world.

Because in this world, the key to becoming a lord is to have absolute force. Under this premise, the lord must be the strongest in the entire territory.

But most high-level professionals are not actually interested in managing the territory. They would rather use their time to practice, conduct magic research, hold various carnival parties, etc.

Therefore, they need an adjutant who is good at managing the territory to help them manage the territory, similar to a steward who takes care of the daily affairs of the castle.

The lords are only responsible for making those major decisions and ensuring the rule and stability of the territory with their own force. The lord's adjutants need to provide them with advice and handle daily chores in the territory.

For this reason, the lord's adjutants may have considerable power, but correspondingly, their own training time will also be severely compressed by the territorial affairs.

In Duke Carrot's view, Anvis becoming a lord's adjutant was completely worth the loss.

Because no matter how Fiona's territory is managed, it doesn't matter to the Olivendi family at all. But if Avis's strength improvement is slowed down by this, even just a little, it will be a huge loss for the family.

After all, in this world, it is the strong people at the top who really have the right to speak.

"I must ask you first, Avis, do you really understand why the family suddenly made her the lord at this time?

"I think it's to lure enemies who want to take action against Fiona, right?"

Facing Duke Carlot's questioning, Anvis spoke without changing his expression.

"A terrifying defense net should have been set up around Fiona. As soon as the enemy breaks in, the net will be closed immediately. Let other potential enemies of the empire see the heavy price of attacking Fiona."

"Now that you know this, why, Avis? Give me a reason!"

Anvis's answer was absolutely correct. The Duke leaned back on the chair again and crossed his arms, somewhat confused as to what Anvis' purpose was.

"You should know, father, I am a prophet, and according to my prophecy, Fiona's appointment as lord will bring unprecedented changes to the Gloria Empire.

The process of helping Fiona manage the territory can bring me huge destiny feedback power, which is completely incomparable to those daily practices. "

Anvis looked calm. Anyway, he didn't rely on practice to upgrade now. He relied more on the power feedback of the old secret book.

Cheating?

Can the things of scholars be called cheating? That's called macro-control!

"Destiny? I understand..."

Hearing this answer, Duke Carrot was speechless. He didn't understand the things of the prophecy school, but the family prophet did say that the state of the web of destiny was a little abnormal recently, and the empire might have something big to happen.

With the close relationship between Anvis and Fiona, maybe he predicted something.

Thinking of this, Duke Carrot no longer stopped him. Anyway, Anvis came back as a clone, so it didn't matter even if something unexpected happened.

So, the next day, Fiona, who was about to take office, was surprised to learn from the Duke that Anvis had returned secretly last night and would serve as her adjutant to help her manage the territory.

For the girl who was still a little confused after suddenly becoming a lord, this was undoubtedly a huge reassurance.

"Brother, you're back?! Thank you for helping me!"

When Fiona saw Avis in a black cloak with a hood covering half of his face, although she was a little surprised by his dress, she still gave him a warm hug.

From childhood to adulthood, Avis was much better than her in other aspects except for his talent in cultivation. She had never seen anything that could stump her fourth brother.

The little girl made a wish to the stars at the window last night. If she could get Avis' help, then even if she lacked experience, she could manage the territory well and become a qualified lord.

The two little ones were curled up beside her at this moment, somewhat wilted. Fiona was so nervous that she couldn't sleep last night, so they could only accompany the girl to make a wish.

"Don't make a fuss, Fiona. I returned secretly this time, and it's not convenient to reveal my identity. So next, I will be your adjutant as the fifth-level ice mage [Levin Boley]. Don't make a mistake."

Looking at the excited girl, Avis smiled slightly.

"Then, let's go, my dear Lord Fiona--"

On the way to Silver Gull City on the flying carriage that symbolizes status, Fiona was always in a very good mood and hummed the tune of an elf serenade. At the same time, her little hand unconsciously pressed on a fluffy white cute amulet on her chest.

Aside, looking at the [Lucky Rabbit's Foot] held by Fiona, Avis felt a little bit subtle.

Is this thing still there?
