Chapter 123: Chapter 123 The Truth About ’Deleting Files’ (Part 2)

Having received the guard’s response, Anvis nodded.

"Alright, Lord Jom. Do you remember the elf mercenary I instructed you to bring to meet me some time ago?"

Jom slightly furrowed his brows, quickly searching his memory for anything related to the elf mercenary from the past half-month.

But in the end, he came up empty-handed—

"I apologize, Lord Anvis, but over the past half-month, you did not instruct me to bring anyone to meet you."

Native memory erasure? Is this the so-called deletion effect?

Anvis was inwardly shocked, but his facial expression remained unchanged.

"Then, do you remember why you went to our family’s underground branch in the Royal Capital a few days ago?"

"A few days ago, you dispatched me to the Royal Capital’s underground branch. However, you didn’t assign any tasks to me, only instructed me to guard the entrance for a while."

With some confusion, Jom looked at Anvis and explained.

"Good, I understand, everything is fine now."

Having understood, Anvis nodded and maintained a calm expression as he saw several guards off.

Then, he knocked on the magic bell again, and a red-haired young man wearing the Olivendi Chamber of Commerce uniform, looking slightly nervous, walked in.

He was a regular front desk member of the Family Chamber of Commerce, named Dickie.

A few days ago, Anvis specifically shuffled his position to personally handle transactions involving the Last Dragon Descendant.

"Dickie, a few days ago, the elf customer I asked you to serve purchased twenty ’Medium Recovery Potions’, ten ’Standard Magic Potions’, and one ’Advanced Magic Potion’ from you.

Moreover, he also sold you various items like ’Old Leather Boots’, ’Bloodstained Armor’, ’Black Magic Book’, ’Kalodar’s Sword’, ’Barmaid Dress’, ’Jade Ring’, and ’pearl necklace’."

"I specifically instructed you that no matter what he sold to you, you must accept them and store them separately—"

Gazing into his deep brown eyes, Anvis asked calmly.

"So now, do you still remember what that elf looked like?"

"Elf...? Sorry, my lord, I don’t remember being tasked with serving such a customer, you might have the wrong person."

Facing Anvis’ meaningful gaze, the red-haired young man hesitated, swallowed nervously, closed his eyes to recall, but still shook his head somewhat panicking.

"Don’t be nervous, Dickie, think carefully—"

Anvis smiled gently at him while his left hand behind his back quietly formed a spell-casting gesture.

A soothing Magic Effect worked on the young man, calming his mental state.

"I’m very sorry, my lord, but I genuinely do not remember receiving the customer you mentioned."

Taking a deep breath, the red-haired young man’s demeanor gradually became calm, asserting firmly.

"During this period, I’ve been at the Chamber of Commerce’s front desk serving various customers, but none of them sold me the items you mentioned.

Moreover, according to the rules and regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, we wouldn’t accept just anything."

"Also, ten ’Standard Magic Potions’ and twenty ’Medium Recovery Potions’ transaction is not a small amount.

If there really was such a customer, my lord, I would definitely not forget them!"

Anvis nodded slightly, asked no further, and simply waved his hand, indicating that Dickie should return to the Olivendi Chamber of Commerce on his own.

He has probably figured out the specific mechanism of this "beta deletion."

—Completely altering every event the players participated in, erasing all traces of their existence, and replacing them with other ’reasonable’ developments.

The letter that disappeared earlier was personally written by an Elf, guided by Anvis through issuing a Task.

Picking up the newspaper from the desk casually, Anvis re-read the headline on it.

Sometime unknowingly, the content of the message had completely changed.

When it was first placed in the isolation room, the headline on the newspaper read as follows:

’Several foreign intruders forcefully raided the Imperial Palace, engaged in intense combat with the guarding Radiant Knight Order, and were all eventually confirmed to be killed, but their bodies disappeared in a burst of White Light.

According to reliable sources, these foreigners possessed the ability to revive a limited number of times.’

Now, however, the headline had silently changed to this:

’Several mysterious figures with concealed Identities forcefully raided the Imperial Palace and engaged in fierce combat with the guarding Radiant Knight Order, eventually escaping as a white light using unknown methods.

According to the analysis by the Empire Academy, this incident is likely related to the secret activities of the Church Court.’

The transformation of the newspaper was expected by Anvis, yet this subtle yet overturning terrifying power still somewhat startled him.

....

End of November.

Northwest of Paravani Province, Star Cluster Canyon—

After the departure of the Last Dragon Descendant, the environment there had returned to its original dead silence.

However, this silence was barely maintained for less than a day before it was once again broken by the rustling of footsteps.

Using the private Teleportation Array set up by the Family, Anvis stepped into this deserted canyon the afternoon following the Last Dragon Descendant’s logout.

Having observed the Elf’s actions in the canyon throughout, Anvis noticed a detail that the Elf had overlooked.

When burying the lovers, the Black Iron Necklace placed on the ground by the Last Dragon Descendant flickered slightly.

This piqued Anvis’s curiosity.

In his understanding, such a phenomenon occurring to a common item often represents some special transformation of its essence.

So, he simply took a day off on a temporary basis from his Mentor, planning to conduct an on-site investigation here.

Due to the special nature of Professionals, the continuation system at the Pamir Academy was quite relaxed.

As long as one could keep up with the study progress and not fall behind in Strength improvement, even continuous leaves of absence for half a year would not be questioned by anyone.

Fortunately, his current schedule was not too packed, and he could afford to take some time alone to check the specific changes to the necklace.

Familiar with the environment, Anvis appeared in the center of the ruined camp.

As only a day had passed, the surrounding environment had almost no change from what he saw in the Crystal Ball.

Except for an uninvited jungle leopard.

Upon hearing Anvis’s footsteps, this tawny fur predator turned its head from a carcass. A pair of bloodthirsty dark yellow cold leopard eyes firmly fixed on the unguarded posture of the blond youth.

Corpse, rotten, hard, not tasty.

Prey, white, tender, juicy, tasty.

In the game, this creature’s Challenge Level is thirty-five, possessing Class Magic that controls plants and Magic Missile.

Glancing at the jungle leopard poised to attack, a Magic Ring under Anvis’s left glove glimmered slightly.

In the next moment, under Anvis’s gaze, the jungle leopard directly turned into a stone sculpture.
