Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Testing and Guinea Pigs

"However, even with the help of our family’s guards, it took us nearly half a day to break through the bizarre force field enveloping that area and the intact Sealed Divine Statue.

By the time everything was over, when we left the cave, night had already fallen on the island."

"And there is a reason why the people who have lived on the island for generations dare not leave their towns at night.

The bizarre force field on the island becomes unusually active after nightfall, increasing in intensity by more than one level.

Moreover, after the night falls, those most powerful Mutated Magical Beasts accompany the steps of darkness, emerging among the ancient mountains of the island.

Those Mutated Magical Beasts, capable of briefly contending with an Eighth Rank in the shroud of night, my guards and I heavily injured two or three before finally breaking through from the mountains."

"..."

Listening to Evan’s description, Anvis slightly opened his mouth in ’amazement’, as if surprised by the dangers Evan encountered on his journey.

"...Although this journey was not smooth, the outcome is ultimately gratifying."

Evan seemed to sense something, suddenly smiled and waved his hand.

The transparent barrier turned suddenly darker, its material became opaque, blocking Anvis’s view.

Anvis keenly noticed that, at that moment, even though Evan was smiling, his gaze became very strange.

Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, the powerful spiritual power still allowed him to discern the emotions in Evan’s gaze.

It seemed to be obsession and jealousy—"

"Unfortunately, dear Anvis, I still have some affairs to handle.

If you don’t mind, I will have my butler take you for a tour around my city instead."

After leaving the Magic Tower, Evan spoke with a regretful expression as if genuinely apologetic for not being able to lead Anvis personally and having the butler replace him.

"It’s alright, elder brother Evan, I just came specially to visit you. Now, I must return to Pamir Academy..."

As he said this, Anvis suddenly paused, taking out a plaque from his person.

In the semi-transparent plaque as solid as hardened ice, the icy blue Frost Crystal Bird emblem was flashing on and off.

"Sorry, it seems that a member from my family has contacted me.

No need to trouble your esteemed butler, my guard and I will leave on our own."

Watching this, Evan nodded.

"Alright, Anvis, if you need any help, just ask me.

At least in this city, my words still carry some weight—"

"Certainly!"

After bidding farewell to Evan, Anvis controlled his avatar along with his guard Jom, quickly leaving the splendid City Lord Mansion of Fengjin City.

Following the invisible sensing, he headed to a small alley in the Lower City District, merging with his main body.

While the avatar controlled by Anvis and the guard hastened on their way, Anvis’s main body released spiritual power, beginning to search nearby for some suitable ’lab rats’.

Before leaving this city, he prepared to test Evan one last time.

....

"Ah—"

A young girl, dressed in clothes with clear signs of tearing, barely covering her body, rushed frantically through the alleys of the Lower City District in panic.

Her screams startled several birds, breaking the slightly dark tranquility of the narrow alleys.

Behind her, several men dressed in old clothes, loutishly followed at a relaxed pace as if playing a cat-and-mouse game.

From time to time, they uttered vulgar remarks and strange laughter, spurring the girl to run desperately.

From above, it would be clearly visible that they were herding the girl towards a specific direction.

In that direction, there were only two alleys where one could hide.

But regardless of which one, both were dead ends.

As the young girl frantically ran without choosing her path, a calm voice suddenly rose in her heart.

’Bring them here—’

The terrified girl, no longer able to discern the pros and cons, followed the voice’s guidance and instinctively fled into the alley where Anvis’s body resided.

"Unfortunately, you’ve chosen a dead end, little wild cat, the game is over!"

The next moment, at the entrance of the alley, the already dim pale sunlight was suddenly blocked by several fierce figures.

"Caught you! Disobedient little b*tch, try running now, you b*stard!"

"Don’t be afraid, just wait till you taste what uncle has to offer, you won’t want to run! Hehehe—"

Several men with sinister smiles blocked the fleeing girl inside the alley.

For such things, they were well experienced.

This was not a rare event, in fact, such heinous acts were almost a daily occurrence in the alleys of the Lower City District, the real day-to-day events.

Although city guards tried their best to maintain public order, the number of City Guard Army was limited.

Moreover, their patrol focus was often on the relatively smaller Upper City District and Middle District.

In the vast and bloated Lower City District, apart from the crimes spotted during patrols, the rest could only rely on the victims to protect themselves.

Since the residents of the Lower City District were a mixed bunch, and the identity of many victims was unclear.

Various factors combined, making solving cases most of the time a thankless task.

Only if there was a sudden surge in deceased in a short period, or the nature of the case became too atrocious, would a special investigator be involved.

Mostly, what the guards could do was to clean up the daily increase in corpses after the fact.

However, today’s situation was somewhat different.

When these men entered the alley and saw the trembling girl,

They also saw at one corner of the alley wall, a mysterious figure standing facing the wall, shrouded in a pitch-black cloak, the face under the cloak dark and indistinct.

The vagrants exchanged glances, hesitating.

Normally, they wouldn’t dare to mess with such bizarrely dressed beings.

But, driven by their current state of panic, seeing the frightened girl cowering beside the figure, the vagrants courage grew once again.

One of the men with a centipede-like twisted scar on his left eye stepped forward, his eyes gleaming fiercely.

"You who hide your face and show your tail, I advise you not to meddle—"

Anvis paid no heed to the fierce scar-faced man’s words.

His ear structures were currently in a state of disappearance—

Of course, he could understand what the man was saying, but no one explains the experimental procedures to a lab rat.

Ignoring the reactions, Anvis extended his spiritual power to assess the constitution and mental strength of the men.

The feedback indicated that these were just a few physically stronger ordinary men.

Only the scar-faced leader could be considered as having the physique of a Warrior Apprentice.

Regarding the Class Magic "Twisted Seed," he had some new spell ideas previously, and now was the perfect occasion to experiment on these men.
