"How can you say it has nothing to do with it? I need to apply for reimbursement..."
After his attempt to sell favors with public funds was revealed, Gallup rubbed his head and defended himself in a low voice. Then he quickly changed the subject while everyone looked at him with unclear eyes.
"How about it? How about you guys come and have dinner together?"
Under the kind invitation of many old students, the four of them agreed to attend the dinner. Riding on the large floating saucer, everyone headed to the high-rise area of the college restaurant.
Compared with ordinary restaurants on the lower floors, the environment in the upper floors is more luxurious and elegant.
The black pearl wood dining table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and delicate silver-leaf roses bloom in a gold-painted vase in the center of the table.
The light in the environment is soft and comfortable, and the elegant fragrance permeates the air, making people unconsciously appetite.
This aroma is a concentration fragrance specially formulated by the Alchemy Academy. After smelling this aroma for a long time, everyone felt that their mental power began to increase slightly, as if they were meditating and practicing.
In the past, you had to pay credits just to get in.
But now, relying on the reimbursement limit, Gallup boldly ordered many delicacies made with high-end ingredients and booked a half-magic hour for dining.
During the meal, many second- and third-level old students took the initiative to show their kindness to the four of them.
For Avis, dealing with these fledgling students was a piece of cake.
In contrast, the other three were less natural. Especially Lona, who was born as a commoner, seemed a little embarrassed.
But despite this, no one showed any contempt for her. Instead, they all behaved very friendly and tolerant.
With his status as a student of Pamir College, his future achievements will not be any lower no matter how low they are. We are all smart people, and no one wants to make pointless enemies.
Essentially, from the moment they stepped into Pamir, they and their past selves had completely become two different classes.
Sitting on one side of the dining table, Anvis was eating and dealing with the enthusiastic seniors with ease.
Although there were many old students present, none of them had names that he remembered from his previous life.
In his current position, making friends with ordinary Pamir students would not be of much help to him. It could only be said to be better than nothing.
In one sentence, everyone here is... a potential seed with a lot of room for growth.
With a decent smile on his face, Avis patiently listened to everyone's boasts and smiled and nodded from time to time, as if he was really interested in these topics.
But as he listened, his movements suddenly paused.
A strange, incomprehensible whisper echoed quietly in his heart.
This feeling...Old Mysteries?
"Sorry, everyone, I have some things to deal with temporarily, so I'm sorry."
His expression changed slightly, Anvis stood up quickly, said goodbye to everyone with a slight apology, and then hurriedly left the restaurant.
"It doesn't matter. If there's something urgent, just go deal with it first."
"Goodbye, Avis."
"goodbye--"
Everyone looked at him strangely and said goodbye to him, guessing the reason for his sudden departure.
………
Anvis didn't know what other people were thinking. When he returned to his residence, he was studying the changes in the old secret scriptures.
Because when the Old Secret Book is activated, the strange symbols on the title page can stimulate mental power and increase its activity and growth rate. Therefore, Avis reads it every day.
But today, it seems that some special conditions have been triggered.
After connecting with Anvis' spiritual power, the dark green ancient book suddenly levitated on its own. The pages of the main text, which were originally firmly stuck together, opened automatically at this time.
The environment in the room began to undergo drastic changes. In Anvis's perception, everything became indescribably new and distinct.
The yellowing of the pearlwood table legs has faded, and the various materials on the shelves have become extremely new. The color of the parquet floor tiles has become extremely bright, and the silver candlesticks have lost their original dullness and become dazzlingly bright.
As the center of the change, the dark green on the book cover began to flow slowly, gradually smearing the pages.
Drained by the flowing dark green, the originally pale silver text of the High Elf began to distort wildly and violently, like a loach falling into a frying pan.
A large number of dark green characters rolled crazily and crawled away from their original positions. Accompanied by an irritating murmur, the characters squirmed and extended, forming a new and absurd content.
Anvis tried to flip through it and found that there were three pages of text that could be opened.
First page:
'Evil spirits walk the world, and foolish and short-sighted people conspire with them. They bring enchanting purple gems and magnificent, dreamy dust. '
The second page:
'The merchants on the ground are guilty of greed, the nobles on the ground are crazy about it, evil transactions are getting busier and busier, and the closed ports fall into sleep. '
The third page:
'The rational mage came here to investigate, but he made a shady deal with him. The family members returned in a dark oar boat, which was full of slaves on the ground. '
"What's the meaning?"
Anvis was a little confused and read it several times, but still didn't understand its meaning.
But he had a feeling that as he stared at these strange words, the words themselves were staring at him in an indescribable way.
In addition to the unlocked part of the text, Anvis also sensed that there were three more spell-like abilities given to him by the Old Mysteries.
[Flesh Clone], [Old Majesty] and [Twisted Seed]
Flesh clone:
Use the flesh and blood of yourself or other creatures to create a clone of the caster. The strength of the clone is half of the caster. A maximum of two clones can exist at the same time.
The majesty of the past:
The intelligent life that looks directly at the caster feels the ancient pressure that matches the image in its heart.
The introduction of the Seed of Distortion is much more complicated than the first two spells.
With the help of an action that is watched by the subject, a spiritual guide is planted in the heart of the subject.
The spiritual guide gradually takes shape over time and the number of contacts with the caster's information increases. Its growth rate is related to the strength and willpower of the recipient.
According to the will of the caster, the twisted seed is divided into two states: latent and active.
In its latent state, the seeds are nearly completely undetectable. When the subject is no more than three meters away from the caster, the caster can silently read the subject's thoughts.
Once the seed is activated, the subject will become a fanatical admirer of the caster while maintaining a clear sense of self, and will absolutely obey all the caster's instructions.
However, during this process, if the subject's will is extremely strong and has not been exposed to information related to the holder for a long time, there is a very small chance that it will escape the influence of the seed and will be immune to such things forever.
The caster can cancel the formed seeds at any time, and only one twisted seed can exist at the same time.
