Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Journey Observations (Part 1)

"According to them, the source of this gemstone and the Harmonizing Agent is a newly established trading partner with the Yar Continent, an overseas island.

The islanders arrive on a strange black sailboat from the West side of the Yar Continent, landing in the port town of Delas in the Kaplan Kingdom and bringing with them a wealth of the island’s exotic resources.

Among them, the most precious are the ’Heart of Amis’ and ’Amis Dust.’

— Yes, that’s how the islanders refer to this gemstone and Harmonizing Agent."

After caressing the gemstone on the pure gold tabletop once more, Evan smiles and slides it towards Anvis.

"Did you know, Anvis, that the effect of this gemstone in amplifying spiritual power circulation speed can stack with the energizing effect of coffee beans, and it feels quite amazing."

"Really?"

Seemingly curious about the effect Evan mentioned, Anvis reaches out and touches the gemstone with interest.

Then he takes another big sip of the coffee, which glows with a deep green luminescence, showing no guard at all.

The rich and heavy liquid enters the throat, carrying a distinctive fragrance of Magic Spores and just the right amount of life radiation.

Under the combined effects of the coffee and the gemstone, Anvis feels his spiritual power become exceptionally active.

His mind suddenly feels incredibly clear, his body as if submerged in light and soft clouds, even giving rise to an illusion similar to a breakthrough in spiritual power.

"I think you’re right, Brother Evan, the effect is indeed fantastic."

While slowly savoring the coffee, Anvis does not skimp on praise for the stacking effects described by Evan.

"Hahaha, right?! Ever since I discovered the combination of the gemstone and coffee, I’ve been addicted to this wonderful taste—"

Upon hearing this, Evan also laughs, feeling very satisfied with Anvis’s agreement to his views.

"However, Brother Evan, from the West Coast to here, one has to traverse the entire Yiter Kingdom Federation.

Since that caravan traveled such a long distance, the news about this new variety of gemstone and the Harmonizing Agent must have already spread along the way, right?"

Setting the bone china coffee cup back on the saucer in hand, Anvis raises his question again.

Evan nods his head and raises a finger.

"That’s the point, Anvis! Even though that caravan crossed such a vast distance, the news doesn’t seem to have spread very far.

All the intelligence forces I’ve arranged within the Yiter Federation have not reported any information related to this gemstone or the Harmonizing Agent.

Nobody has named the newly discovered gemstone in their own name in the Magic Times—"

As he speaks, Evan raises his eyebrows, spreads his hands, and speaks with a slight disdain.

"As you know, those country Magicians of the Federation love doing such things."

Then, he drops a color-changing Harmonizing Agent ’sugar cube’ into his cup.

He stirs the coffee slowly with his magic while allowing the cup and saucer to float midair.

"At first, I also suspected that the foreigners weren’t telling the truth, but after careful questioning, their explanation, though hard to believe, didn’t have any faults."

"According to the merchants from the caravan, right after they left Delas Port, they encountered a strange, thick fog that suddenly descended on the trade route in the wild.

As they emerged from the other side of the fog, the surrounding environment had dramatically changed.

The open plains they had been on were now desolate mountains and primeval forests.

At that time, they were on the sun-facing side of a mountain slope, covered with wild thistles, Wind Bell Grass, and foxtail grass.

Not knowing where they were, the caravan could only determine their direction hastily and carry on.

And the first city they came upon was Fengjin City."

Taking another sip of coffee that shimmered with a strange iridescence, Evan let out a satisfied sigh.

"You know, Anvis—being in our position, whatever we do, we need to be extremely cautious.

Because you never know which things are traps and snares deliberately set against you by others."

"Therefore, I immediately called upon the High Rank Prophet of our family to divine the truth about the descriptions given by those foreign merchants.

Then, using gemstones and Harmonizing Agents as mediums, I divined their true origins to cross-verify with what those foreign merchants claimed."

"The prophecies indicated that those merchants were telling the truth; the sources of the gemstones and Harmonizing Agents do indeed come from an isolated island overseas.

Consequently, I once again requested the Prophet to divine the level of danger for this journey.

And whether there are any conspiracies against me personally, or against the Olivendi Family."

"And the second prophecy revealed that this journey would encounter some twists and turns, but would not pose too great a danger.

Moreover, there are no conspiracies lurking behind this—"

"You must understand, Anvis, that relying solely on past experiences to make decisions from a distance is insufficient for such novelties—

After all, there is an old saying ’Ideal and reality are never the same’; in other words, ’details determine success or failure’."

"Since we couldn’t confirm how soon this news would spread out, I immediately boarded the family’s ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array to visit one of the family’s secret branches nearest to the West Coast of the Continent within the Yiter Federation.

After that, I boarded an Alchemy Floating Airship there and took a detour to Delas."

As he said this, Evan drained the remaining coffee in one gulp and then let go of his cup and saucer, allowing them to disappear on their own.

He then took out a new gemstone to hold in his hand, comfortably leaning back amongst relaxed and pleasant clouds, squinting his eyes and sinking into the sofa.

"But, big brother Evan."

Watching Evan with half-closed eyes leaning on the sofa, Anvis also drained his coffee in one gulp.

He then, just like Evan, let go of his cup and saucer and with a smile began to speak.

"I remember, when I was very young, my father once told me this:

’At no time should you put yourself in a dangerous situation.’"

"I think there’s a lot of wisdom in that—"

As he spoke, Anvis’s eyes seemed to unintentionally fix on Evan’s ice-blue eyes.

"You’re right, dear Anvis."

Hearing this, Evan shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly.

"But our mother also said: ’In this ever-changing world, only by moving forward can one stay at the same place.’

Just like the first captain who discovered the Elf Continent, Yuris Blowa.

If, at that time, he had simply agreed with his crew, thinking that the instruments were malfunctioning, instead of checking them himself.

Then, the Radiant name that would have gone down in history might have been someone else’s—"

"So, sometimes, I favor our mother’s point of view more."

Looking at each other, both of them burst into laughter.
