Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 54 - 54 54 Nobles' Style Joke

54: Chapter 54: Nobles’ Style Joke 54: Chapter 54: Nobles’ Style Joke The young Anvis from his previous life was not actually all that keen on making friends or cultivating his own network of relationships.

Compared to these, he was more enthusiastic about learning.

Yes, studying made him happy.

But even so, he had also heard of the great name of Orbins.

The founder and pioneer of the Secret Power School, discoverer of the third law of space-time, multiple recipient of the Olvarsha Award of Truth, one of the three councilmen of the Magic Council with the title of Space-Time Ring—Veronica’s only direct disciple…

The accomplishments this ordinary-born person achieved later in life couldn’t even be adequately described by the word “spectacular.”

If compared to a celebrity from Anvis’s former lifetime, then Orbins would be equivalent to a magic version of Einstein and Tesla.

In his later years, he pushed the entire Magic World forward by a step within just a few decades.

.….….

The most renowned accomplishment of Orbins was the successful restoration of the structural model of the Floating City’s energy core—the Eternal Core.

It is known that the diameter of a Floating City can reach tens of kilometers, and the magic power consumed every second to keep such a colossal object afloat and not fall is truly astronomical.

With such tremendous consumption of magic power, relying solely on absorbing the free energy in the surrounding space is far from sufficient.

Therefore, an independent and super magic power source must exist.

The Eternal Core is the core magic source of an entire Floating City, as well as the fundamental source of the Floating City’s formidable power.

It can output nearly limitless magic power incessantly, and its maximum output is only limited by the material of the magic circuit!

It is truly a miraculous creation!

Although the council later found out that even a Ninth Rank Limit powerhouse couldn’t truly construct a new Eternal Core based on that model, it didn’t prevent its application.

For example, by making certain modifications to this structure, one could construct a secondary, less stable, and limited magic power output pseudo-Eternal Core.

And its original structure became the Council’s top secret, something that even the Olivendi Family was unable to obtain.

Such talent is something no force would be willing to let go of.

Countless people have extended an olive branch to him, including major nobles, but they were all rejected by his proud and lofty nature.

Usually, Orbins looked at most people who wanted to invite him to join a certain force with a kind of pitying gaze, as if looking at a group of pitiable and ignorant lower crawling beings.

He told them: “Sorry, I can’t accept your invitation.

My time is very precious, and it should not be wasted on meaningless things.”

The Anvis from his previous life also tried to make contact with him, and given that he was also considered a top student, Orbins discussed with him for a while.

But after about ten minutes, young Anvis began to be unable to keep up with his line of thought.

Noticing this, Orbins stopped his discourse and more politely issued an order to leave, leaving young Anvis with no choice but to take the opportunity to excuse himself.

Of course, his character also brought him many enemies.

But until he was valued by the Space-Time Ring and taken as a direct disciple, he had been living well, which speaks volumes.

According to the information collected by the family in his former life, Anvis knew that Orbins was also from the Pamir Academy.

But what he didn’t expect was that Orbins was on the same ship as him!

This kind of super talent, Anvis plans to make the greatest effort to bring him into his own camp.

And this brief journey before the Floating Ship reaches the academy is the best opportunity to make contact with him.

At this moment, none of the auras from Orbins’s previous life existed yet.

This coincidentally means that now is the moment when his psychological defenses are at their weakest.

However, being too deliberate in making contact could easily raise the other party’s guard, hence the previous scene.

He plans to use the method of dining together to subtly establish his own image in Orbins’s mind.

The journey lasts five days and five nights, with four more nights to go, he is not in a hurry.

“However, thinking about it, that girl seems to have come with Orbins.

Wouldn’t my approach be counterproductive?”

At this thought, Anvis couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

“It should be no big deal; after all, he never had a girlfriend in his past life.”

.….….

“That was the news I heard during a gathering in the Stove Fire Month the year before last…”

At dinnertime, Anvis once again went to that dining table and had dinner with Shirley and Orbins.

Through some conversational probes, he also figured out the relationship between the two.

Shirley and Orbins were actually half-siblings with the same mother but different fathers.

Shirley’s father was a member of a small mercenary group, who unfortunately perished during a task.

To take care of his comrade’s widow, the deputy leader married Shirley’s mother as his wife and later had Orbins.

“At that time, Viscount Tun wanted to test the abilities of his three descendants.

He commanded the servants to bring three dogs and called his sons to his side, giving one dog to each, instructing them to find a way to make their dogs eat the extremely spicy Sage Sauce.

The eldest, possessing the strength of a Fifth Rank, took action first; he forced the dog’s mouth open and used Fighting Energy to envelop the Sage Sauce before stuffing it in.”

“Viscount Tun shook his head.

‘That’s too violent.'”

The second son, a Fourth Rank Mage, adopted a gentler approach: he cast an Illusion Technique on the dog that made the Sage Sauce seem like its favorite black aromatic chicken.

Then, the dog happily gobbled up the Sage Sauce under the effect of the illusion.”

‘This is deceitful.’

Viscount Tun shook his head once more.

Seeing that neither brother had earned their father’s approval, the third son, with only the strength of a Second Rank, calmly smeared the Sage Sauce near the tail of the dog.

The dog yelped from the spiciness, continuously licking the area where the Sage Sauce was applied.

The youngest son pointed at the dog and solemnly introduced to his father.

‘Look, Father, all of its actions are spontaneous, and it is also singing the praises of the greatness of Tun’s Family!'”

“Hahahaha… he is indeed clever!”

Shirley was tickled by Anvis’s humorous storytelling and giggled non-stop, her brown hair quivering with her laughter.

“This is hypocrisy…”

Orbins mumbled indistinctly, so quietly that not even Anvis could clearly hear what he was grumbling about.

Over several days, Anvis would go to that dining table every evening for dinner, and the three gradually became more familiar with one another.

Of course, most of the time it was Anvis and Shirley conversing, with Orbins only occasionally interjecting a word or two.

During this period, Anvis detailed to them the background of Pamir Academy, the significance of entering this institute, and the various subjects available after admission.

Besides that, he also recounted scenes and stories from Karlars City and shared some widely known, accessible jokes from the noble circles.

In return, the young lady shared her rural life experiences and some amusing anecdotes, which Anvis found quite novel.

In both his past and current life, he had never truly experienced the pastoral life of this world.
