Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 224: Claire’s Law

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Claire’s Law

However, despite the increased strength, Anvis felt a somewhat strange atmosphere surrounding Claire.

It was as if a piece that was originally whole suddenly revealed a certain flaw, yet it became more real.

The blonde half-elf girl did not hide anything about what happened to her and simply recounted her experience of exploring the castle, encountering that fragment, and entering the depths below to Anvis.

"...And then, at the very bottom of that spiral staircase passage, there was a slowly flowing crimson river of magma.

At the source of that river, I saw an extremely ancient stone altar, standing in the middle of a huge subterranean lava lake. At the top of the altar, in the center of the ancient magic array, there lay a peculiar crystal heart.

When I picked up that crystal heart, it suddenly merged into my body, and I couldn’t even find where it went.

After that, the altar suddenly collapsed, sinking into the lava lake, almost dragging me down with it, and the walls of the surrounding caves also began to tremble strangely.

I felt something was wrong, and when I escaped from the underground, the volcano suddenly erupted. Afterwards, I ran into Lord Baggsen who had also escaped, and that’s how it went."

Listening to the girl’s ’thrilling and exciting’ adventure, Anvis opened his mouth, then pursed his lips, unsure what to say.

Better to offer incense to the Great Sacrificial Rite first.

The sealing that should have been impossible to disappear was absorbed by the Ancient Secret Scripture, the Magic Prohibition Domain encountered weapons from another world, and when the ritual failed and it was time to fight to the death, Claire had also visited the house!

Who could withstand all this!

"Are you thinking about something very impolite?"

The half-elf girl’s fair and crystal-clear ear tips suddenly quivered, and her azure blue eyes instinctively narrowed slightly.

"Nothing, I just remembered some of my ’good friends’, their homes are all very spectacular. If there is a chance to visit in the future, I can prepare an extra invitation for you, Senior."

Anvis instantly straightened his expression and shook his head solemnly.

"Prepare an extra invitation?"

Claire was stunned for a moment, and associating it with what she had just said, she suddenly realized something and the corners of her eyes involuntarily twitched.

"Anvis, has anyone ever told you that you’re very..."

Speaking, the girl herself didn’t know how to describe it.

"Extremely talented? Handsome and charming? Richly attractive?"

Anvis hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his face to the side, letting the light of the dual-colored moon in the sky shine upon his face.

"Thanks for the praise, I believe you, Senior, have outstanding discernment and superior insight, far surpassing the vast majority of mediocrities in this world."

Having said that, and without waiting for Claire to react to his self-confident words, Anvis swiftly changed the subject.

"But Senior Claire, regarding the treasures you’ve obtained, telling others about such important matters may not be a wise decision."

"If others covet the treasures you’ve obtained and make a move against you, wouldn’t you be putting yourself in a very dangerous situation?"

Listening to Anvis’ words, Claire took a deep breath, gently touched the hilt of her one-handed sword at her waist, unsure of what to say.

"...You won’t do that."

In the end, her body relaxed again, no longer dwelling on his previous remarks, but merely shook her head gently.

"I understand what you mean, but Anvis, I just feel it—you wouldn’t do that—"

Looking into the clear eyes of the half-elf girl, Anvis fell silent for a moment, revealing a somewhat helpless smile.

"Alright, Senior."

"Also, when I was escaping from the cave, I found this halfway through."

As she spoke, the half-elf girl suddenly remembered something, raising her right hand. A gemstone appeared in the little hand of the girl, casting a faint purple hue over her fair slender fingers.

The gemstone, no larger than the girl’s fist, took the form of an exceedingly perfect sphere. It emanated a bright and otherworldly purple fluorescence, reminiscent of the Purple Moon that Anvis had seen in the Dream World.

It tore off its shadow and turned it to rise as the moon; thus, the Moon of Dreams cast no shadows—

Staring at the beautiful gemstone before her, Anvis found herself mysteriously thinking of those words that describe the Purple Moon of the Dream World.

"I found this in a fissure of a gemstone wall while passing through a gem mine."

"Anvis, as a member of the Olivendi Family, you have no need for ordinary items, so is this of value to you?"

Holding the gemstone, the blonde half-elf girl looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Perhaps... it is of great value."

His gaze lifted slowly, Anvis looked seriously into Claire’s azure eyes.

"But, Senior Claire, I’m not sure if you are aware, but I must tell you in advance that this gemstone is of the Ninth Rank!"

"Materials of the Ninth Rank are invaluable in terms of gold coins, but if handed over to my family, the resources it could exchange for would be enough to support you, Senior, in breaking through to above the Seventh Rank."

Listening to Anvis’s explanation, Claire nodded slightly.

"Since it is valuable to you, Anvis, consider it a token of my appreciation—"

"Good, then I shall accept it."

Nodding, Anvis took the gemstone while also handing over a special black crystal ball treated with a Secret Technique to Claire.

"The academy’s Identity Card is not very convenient; this is a specialty of the Olivendi Family, simply inject Magic Power to activate it. If you need anything in the future, Senior, you can contact me directly through it."

"Alright—"

Feeling Anvis’s intention, Claire smiled gently, the corners of her eyes curving softly. Her eyes, like a serene and pure ocean beneath the island’s moonlight, were pure and unblemished.

After the girl left, Baggsen approached, tilting his Explorer’s hat at Anvis as a solemn gesture of gratitude.

"Lord Anvis, I would like to express my thanks to you."

He had just spoken with Jom, learning about the current era, the situation on the continent, and also understood who played the largest role in his escape from the Dream Realm.

"There’s no need for that, Mr. Baggsen. The incarnation of Divine Power at the core of the Island’s Dream Realm was personally Sealed by my father. You should offer your thanks to my father."

Gently waving his hand, Anvis showed a fitting smile, modestly attributing all credit to the Duke.

"Even so, it is your merit, Lord Anvis, that Duke Carrot will make a personal visit here."

Baggsen shook his head, his expression growing serious.

"I once pursued the Moon Calling Secret Sect for information; I crave adventure, long to know those ancient and terrifying secrets, and aspire to advance myself through them."

"It was only at the moment before I fell into the Dream Realm that I fully realized—this island, it’s a whole entity, like a huge Mutated Magical Beast!

Whether it’s the island’s natives, the Moon Calling Secret Sect, or the entire Lavales Port City, although they seem independent, to this island, they are no more than organs each fulfilling their roles.

To outsiders who come to this island, it’s as if they’ve entered the body of a Magical Beast, gradually being digested, merging with it, and becoming a new part of it."

"Our self-perceived disguise, in the eyes of the island, is like moths covered in glitter, even if they look identical to the natives, they stand out like stars in the night sky.

Because, no matter how many cycles pass, everything that happens within the Dream Realm remains unchanged. Only outsiders can cause changes to the unchanging script."
