Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 328 - 103: Purpose and Divination

"...What did you say?"

Upon hearing Zero’s explosive statement, Anvis was briefly startled, his eyes also flashing with a hint of astonishment.

So you really are a traitor?!

No, as it concerns a player, it should be called renouncing darkness for light.

If you have never been loyal, how can you be a traitor?

"This is indeed a very important piece of information, but there is a condition."

After the initial surprise, Anvis slowly nodded, his tone regaining its calm.

"How will you prove to me that the information you provided is true, and not something you made up on the spur of the moment?"

"I think, as a mere Second Rank Professional, being able to stand here as someone who isn’t a student from Pamir Academy, already explains some issues."

Zero smiled easily, lifting another glass of Magic Power juice shimmering with silver-white starlight, not minding Anvis’s skepticism at all.

"Moreover, even if you don’t believe my words, it’s not a problem. As long as you can pass this message to your father and have him observe the Marquis’ reactions during the academy’s grand competition.

Then it will naturally be confirmed whether my information is true or false."

"Fair enough—"

After listening to Zero’s explanation, Anvis was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"If your information proves to be true, then I can agree to cooperate further with you."

"Oh, is that so?"

Drinking up the silver juice in his hand, Zero set down the cup and stood up again.

"Since you currently do not trust me enough, I will take my leave for now. However, I believe we will meet again in the future."

"Mr. Zero, are you a foreigner?"

Watching Zero’s departing figure, Anvis suddenly spoke.

"You possess an acutely perceptive ability, akin to a snowy eagle in the sky, Mr. Anvis. As you see, I indeed am a foreigner."

Zero’s pace faltered slightly, not avoiding the topic and subtly complimenting Anvis.

A foreigner, meaning one that cannot be killed.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Anvis thoughtfully watched Zero leave without making any move.

This guy came here entirely to drop off information for him.

However, based on the historical developments of the previous era, Anvis didn’t believe that Zero genuinely intended to cooperate with him.

After reflecting on Zero’s words, he suddenly had a new speculation: he wanted to use him to pass the message to Duke Carrot.

By looking at the top of Zero’s task list of incomplete tasks, it’s apparent that he hasn’t yet successfully persuaded any of the Marquis.

Or rather, not completely persuaded.

If at this time, Anvis conveys the news of the Marquises conspiring together to the Duke, then during the grand competition, the Duke will inevitably become wary and vigilant towards them, closely monitoring their actions.

Perhaps, this is precisely the scene Zero hopes to see unfold.

However, after carefully analyzing the situation, Anvis still decided to inform the Duke of this news.

This is an open plot; since he has already managed to infiltrate Pamir Academy, Zero wouldn’t just be looking for him alone; he likely would also meet with descendants of the other Four Great Families.

Regardless of whether he himself notifies the Duke, it actually won’t have any impact on the situation.

Moreover, if the other families were to learn of this news, and their own family remained in the dark due to his failure to notify them in time, it would lead to a situation of unequal information and catch them off guard when the event occurs.

.........

The next day, six in the morning.

Anvis got up on time, washed briefly, dressed neatly, and then took out the Destiny Coin and Moonlight Mercury to divine his luck for the next three days.

As the platinum coin fell, the surface of the liquid Moonlight Mercury produced a ’ding’ sound, and rings of somewhat chaotic ripples immediately appeared.

This feedback meant that his luck for the coming days was probably not going to be good; he might even carelessly lose his money bag.

"Tch."

Seeing the result of the prophecy, Anvis couldn’t help but smack his lips.

Forget it, after all, given the involvement of that relic and many High Rank Professionals, it surely cannot calculate accurately with my current strength.

Thinking this, Anvis divined once more to determine if this trip would encounter any dangers.

This time, the ripples arising from the Moonlight Mercury were regular and orderly, evoking a sense of perfection and harmony.

"Accurate again, how strange."

Pleased, he nodded his head, packed up the mercury basin, and went to find Fiona, then headed together to the meeting place.

Initially, the Duke seemed to not want Fiona to go to the relic, but in the end, he relented for some unknown reasons.

The gathering place was located in Gloria Square, the center of the Pamir Academy cluster. According to ancient texts, Great Emperor Gloria once descended on this square riding a Giant Dragon.

In the center of the square stood a huge statue of Great Emperor Gloria, surrounded by clear Magic Power fountains.

The ground was engraved with glowing mysterious magic array patterns, which gather and transform Magic Power, dispersing it into the environment.

Many Pamir students from different branches were already in place, now gathering in different groups and chatting on the White Stone Square side of the fountain.

In the crowd at the square, Anvis saw Roche and Matt.

The two youngsters destined to become top leaders of the Resistance Army were huddled together, chatting with several other students who seemed to also hail from the lower tiers.

What surprised Anvis a bit was that he saw Alisa, the Knight lady he had once encountered during the True Knowledge Society’s trial assessment, joining them.

Thinking about her strict adherence to the so-called ’Justice and Honor’ knightly spirit, Anvis couldn’t help but feel speechless.

Well, looks like the just companions have gained another member.

"Hey, dear Anvis! Want to come over for a chat?"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and Anvis with Fiona turned their heads to see a blond-haired Harvey. The guy was standing surrounded by four or five girls, waving at them with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, dear Harvey, but no need—"

Anvis shrugged, displaying a polite but fake smile, and directly walked away with Fiona.

"Brother, who is he?"

The girl looked back curiously for a moment, noting that Harvey was laughing and talking with those girls.

"He’s Harvey. Remember the little boy you accidentally turned into a frog with magic when you were nine?"

"Oh! It’s him!"

The girl suddenly recalled as she had been increasingly inundated with studies since she turned nine and rarely played with peers.

At this time, it was almost eight in the morning, and Anvis glanced at the distant air docks, waiting for the arrival of the Floating Ship.

Since the large Teleportation Array was still not convenient enough, many students were still going to the relic via floating transport vehicles.
