Chapter 131 Standard Excuse of the Prophet

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Standard Excuse of the Prophet

’After his return from his travels, Evan brought back a brand-new purple Magic Gem and a unique new type of Harmonizing Agent, which has been tested to be effective for Professionals of Seventh Rank and above.’

Gazing at this message, Anvis seemed to have suddenly grasped some sort of inspiration.

After pondering for a moment, he took out a Crystal Ball and contacted Leonard.

He asked him to retrieve detailed information about these two items from the family and to send him a sample of each.

About half a day later, the specific information and two samples were delivered into the hands of Anvis.

The gemstone, named Heart of Amis by Evan, was a bewitching purple color akin to that of the Purple Moon, and emitted the beautiful fluorescence distinctive of high-level gemstones.

Upon inspection, it was determined to be a Top Rank material for the Soul System, capable of being used to create High Rank magic equipment and items for the Soul System.

It could also serve as a substitute for the main material in various important High Rank Potions, such as the Water of Transcendence, Root Potion, and Saril’s Contemplation, among others.

Even when simply worn on one’s person, it could slowly purify the wearer’s spiritual power, and to a certain extent, also boost the speed of the wearer’s cultivation.

Moreover, these effects were equally effective for Professionals of Seventh Rank and above.

The new type of Harmonizing Agent was even more precious; it could increase the likelihood of a Professional breaking through their Rank—

Besides being used in combination with a few other auxiliary items like incense and fumigants, it could be used in conjunction with most items that increase the chances of a breakthrough.

Most importantly, unlike the Dream Dust that Anvis had used before, its effective range could last up to the Eighth Rank!

Barring the breakthrough from Eighth Rank to Ninth Rank, it could be used for all ranks below the Eighth!

Anvis fiddled with a gemstone in hand, roughly the size of a baby’s fist and of an irregular, pure, flawless purple.

Anvis could feel a strange force being transferred from the gemstone in his hand to his body.

Under the influence of this power, his spiritual power began to fluctuate slowly, becoming more refined and also more naturally and smoothly mobilized.

However, as his talent was already nearing its limit, the effects of this enhancement were minimal.

"Quite interesting," he murmured to himself, glancing at a small cup of peculiar powder on the desk, which appeared illusory and translucent, and emitted a dream-like iridescent mist.

"Evil consorts walk among men, conspiring with the foolish and short-sighted. They bring bewitching purple gemstones and splendid, dream-like dust?"

His finger tapped the desk unconsciously; this message from his family suddenly reminded Anvis of some vague clues from a past life.

Unlike other nobles, his second brother Evan was extremely enthusiastic about commerce and trade.

After his coming of age ceremony, Evan chose Fengjin City to the southwest of Karlars as his fief.

This was different from the development strategy employed by his eldest brother Remont, who focused on fully developing the territory and training Professional troops.

While developing his territory, Evan invested most of his remaining effort into trade activities, making him quite unique among nobles.

The principle he believed in was that resources and channels are like levers; once you control them, a minimal effort can move returns that are ten or a hundredfold greater.

The most efficient development method was to fully advance commerce first, and then use the wealth from thriving commercial activities to nourish the territory, attracting more people to settle, he believed.

With over a decade of personal efforts and some help from the Olivendi Family, Evan established a gigantic commercial organization—the Secret Mithril Federation.

Its scope of operations gradually expanded to encompass the entire Gloria Empire, opening up multiple secret trade routes.

Moreover, he was also working hard to expand trade relationships with the other two great empires of the continent, the Underworld, and various other non-human races.

But after a certain period, Evan suddenly went on a long journey, then stationed himself in his Fengjin City for an extended period, never venturing out again or returning to Moon Castle.

And it seemed he was busy with certain matters. The once frequent correspondent who used to send letters to his family and gifts to his younger siblings gradually began to lessen his contact with the family.

Gradually, Evan became indifferent to the development of his own territory, leaving all affairs to be managed by his subordinate governor.

He himself spent long periods immersed in the Magic Tower on the side of his domain, researching something unknown.

.........

In his previous life, Anvis had a decent relationship with his second brother. Having noticed the changes in Evan, he once wrote a letter to express his concern, but received no response.

Now, combining the mysterious content revealed by the Ancient Secret Scripture and recalling the enigmatic disappearance of Evan in his previous life, Anvis felt distinctly that something was not right.

During this journey, something special might have happened to Evan.

Or perhaps, something has followed him back—

After pondering for a moment, Anvis contacted the butler Leonard again to inquire about the specifics of his second brother’s journey.

Soon, a document arrived in Anvis’s hands via a Communication Array.

His finger slid slowly down the surface of the paper, tracing the names of places.

Until, nearing the end of the list, Anvis’s finger paused slightly.

’West Coast, free trading port town, Delas.’

In the document, it stated that Evan had arrived there in mid-June and had only just returned recently.

His purpose for going to Delas appeared to be to explore the sources of gemstones and Harmonizing Agents.

This matter might be related to the Ancient Secret Scripture, Anvis rubbed the letter in his hand, hesitating whether to go and investigate personally.

After some hesitation, he took out a Magic Crystal Ball and decided to contact Duke Carrot first.

"Is there something you need, Anvis?"

From the other end of the Crystal Ball, Duke Carrot voiced his puzzlement as he looked at Anvis, who had suddenly reached out to him.

"It’s like this, I suddenly had a premonition last night concerning my elder brother Evan—"

Choosing his words carefully, Anvis slowly began.

"In the blurry vision that I perceived, his figure was enveloped by a twisted shadow."

"I can’t explain the specifics, but it feels strange."

"As you know, I am now a certified Prophet. So, I suspect something abnormal might have occurred to him."

Hearing Anvis’s description, Duke Carrot pondered for a long while.

Although there was still a gap in strength between Anvis and Evan, they were blood relatives after all.

If something truly had happened to Evan, then indeed Anvis might possess the ability to foresee beyond his Rank.

"How about this, I will personally go to Fengjin City to look into Evan’s situation. Once I’m finished, I will inform you of the outcome."

Running his finger over his cufflink, Duke Carrot ultimately decided to make the trip himself.

"Very well, Father, please give my regards to elder brother Evan—"

Ending the communication, Anvis took one last look at the information on the document, then offhandedly froze it into powder, preparing to wait for news from Duke Carrot.
