His consciousness returned to his body in the main material world. Anvis opened his eyes and digested the information gained this time.
Gray fog's last sentence revealed quite important information.
He would break through in less than a month.
Although this sentence may have many interpretations, twenty-nine days is less than a month, and one day is less than a month.
But Gray Mist then left an invitation, and now that other prophets no longer threatened him, he didn't need to deliberately hide anything about the breakthrough time.
Less than a month, probably really close to a month.
For high-level experts, this is already a very short time. Maybe they even conducted a small magic experiment and prepared a slightly complicated magic ritual, and a month passed.
However, more things can happen in a month than imagined.
.
….….
Unlike controlling the floating city and dealing with the Ninth Orders, listening to the [Hermit] explain the current situation and attending the gatherings of the prophets did not take up much time and energy from Anvis.
While he was listening with a little consciousness, his body left in the main material world was also dealing with Fiona's problem.
The war that broke out again in the Star Territory ended about half a day ago. The ninth-level apostles of the Singing Star Secret Cult were finally defeated and completely defeated by the ninth-level tripartite alliance arranged by Olivendi, the Alfred family and the fourth princess.
One of the apostles was completely left behind, while the rest were severely injured and fled.
However, due to Fiona's inexplicable disappearance, after solving the enemy's ninth-level existence, several ninth-level people immediately began to search for Fiona's whereabouts.
But as luck would have it, because they subjectively believed that Fiona had been taken away by the enemy, several ninth-level searches focused on the traces of the enemy's escape, and did not find Fiona hiding in the secret stronghold of the Spark Organization.
This is because after discovering that Pomona was suspected of rebelling, Avis asked Fiona to temporarily remove her family amulet and other accessories with positioning functions.
Then directly let Fiona use the power of dreams to call a dream creature to send them into the deep dream world.
You cannot teleport at will in the deep dream world. If Pomona escapes from the dream turbulence and wants to locate Fiona's whereabouts through the family talisman, she will be misled in the wrong direction.
At the same time, in the Spark Organization's stronghold, Avis used the concealment spell [Dark Side of the Moon] from the Old Secret Book to completely obscure Fiona's appearance, bloodline, and spiritual aura, changing her to a completely different appearance. , and even the traces of the web of fate are obscured together.
This can ensure maximum safety, but it also means that not only Pomona, but also other members of the Olivendi family cannot locate Fiona's location.
It's equivalent to Fiona disappearing again, and this time without any notice.
Doing this was also Avis's helpless move.
After all, he had no substantive evidence to question Pomona. In the absence of Duke Carrot, if Fiona returned to the family, it would be too easy for Pomona to cause something to happen.
Moreover, there are two different opinions in the family on how to handle Fiona, and Avis is also aware of it.
Now that he thinks about it, Avis is even a little suspicious. In the past life of the Oliwendi family, it was because some senior officials wanted to persecute Fiona, which led to Fiona's family being ruined, the protagonist absconding, and then becoming stronger in a series of adventures. The fateful route of ultimate revenge.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
In the secret base of the [Spark] organization, Fiona suddenly cast a concerned look when she saw Anvis's chess moves suddenly and uncoordinatedly paused.
"Nothing, I just received some latest news on the external situation."
After withdrawing his thoughts, Anvis smiled gently at the girl, and then casually dropped a mage chess piece in his hand on the corner of the chessboard.
Currently, Avis is engaged in a black and white war chess game with Langton. Just like the popularity of arcane cards among nobles, this chess game is widely circulated among the people of the empire.
Perhaps civilians and low-level professionals cannot afford it, and are reluctant to buy a single arcane card priced in gold coins, but this does not prevent them from having their own entertainment methods.
The chess pieces of this kind of chess are made from very simple materials and can be easily processed from wood or stones of different colors. The rules are somewhat similar to Blue Star chess, but the scale is usually much larger.
The chess pieces are divided into knights, wizards, kings, etc., each with different functions and moves. There is only one king, but there can be hundreds of knights. There are also various areas on the board that represent special terrain. The ultimate goal of the game is to capture the opponent's king.
At first, Langton was playing against Roach and others. After discovering that Avis and Fiona also came out of the room, in order to show friendship, he invited Avis to play a game with them.
Of course, Langton actually has some thoughts. The winner or loser of this kind of game ultimately depends on the computing power of both parties. In this way, the results of the game can be used to test the strength of Anvis.
Just now, when Anvis's mind returned from the depths of the web of fate, it was his turn to make a move.
"Unfortunately, Langton, it seems our match can only end here."
After explaining to Fiona, Avis turned his eyes to Langton.
"Are you leaving?"
Frowning at the stalemate on the chessboard, Langton looked at Anvis with some pity.
The two sides are now fighting at their most intense, with many knights and chess pieces intertwined in a group. The king, protected by the mage and other chess pieces, is located at opposite ends of the battlefield.
As far as the current battle situation is concerned, Langton can't see which side has a clear advantage.
"Yes, my family has discovered some problems. If we continue to hide here, I am afraid it will cause you trouble."
Anvis nodded, he was not ready to wait any longer.
On the one hand, staying in one place for a long time is easy to be discovered. On the other hand, this accident is out of everyone's sight, which is an opportunity for Fiona.
She can see more things that cannot be seen under normal circumstances, the operating rules of this society at all levels, instead of just being a tool to break through the legend.
At the same time, Fiona is also an indispensable part of Avis's plan to stimulate stargazers.
After all, the stargazer was tricked by him at that time, and he knew the backlash against the stargazer better than any other prophet.
Take the number of ninth-order people who had their bodies destroyed and died in the floating city collapse incident. Normally, if the person who suffered the backlash was another eighth-level prophet, it would probably be enough to permanently drop him.
Even if the stargazer is a ninth-level extreme prophet and may have various preparations, it is unlikely that he will recover just in the past few years.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the gray fog's breakthrough cannot be stopped.
But it would be different if he woke up the stargazers from their retreat to recuperate in advance.
Although your injury has not recovered yet, and it may worsen if you force a move, your student is preparing to break through to the ninth-level prophet, do you care?
