Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 375 - 150: Family Inquiry
With the situation having progressed this far, the trajectory of Anvisโ past life memories in his mind has been fundamentally altered beyond recognition. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ต.๐ฌ๐ค๐ข
Due to his earlier actions of teleporting most of the more common goods from the Floating City to remote corners across the Continent, many Adventurers became aware of this news.
The information related to the treasures of Sky City quickly overshadowed all else, sweeping through every tavern on the Yar Continent. Everyone was asking if there was any intelligence related to the whereabouts of the treasures.
Although it was unclear why that Mysterious person chose to teleport randomly, it did not stop them from wishing ardently to search for it.
As remnants from the Ancient Golden Age, many resources that were once commonplace during that era have become exceedingly precious today.
Should they find any of the teleported treasures, the resources obtained would be enough for one to break through to Mid Rank Professionals or higher, instantly saying goodbye to their original class.
As the civilian treasure hunting fever grew more intense, a great number of fake treasure maps and the like were also produced.
Many young Professionals and Players were deceived, dying in dangerous zones, then reviving to seek retribution from the sellers, leading to a sudden spike in civil violence incidents.
At the same time, the Empireโs higher-ups also truly began to take the threat of the Resistance Army seriously, summoning multiple Ninth Rank experts to personally eliminate their secret bases, along with the Magic Works and ritual sites being secretly constructed.
Rather than like in the previous life, complacently adopting the mindset of letting the Resistance Army self-destruct, relegating the lesser nobility to deal with it on their own.
Due to drawing the Empireโs upper echelonsโ attention prematurely, the unprepared Starfire Organization suffered heavy losses and was on the brink of extinction at any moment.
Currently, besides some core higher-ups of Starfire who saw the situation was wrong and escaped earlier with the help of the Gate of the Pupil, the rest of the personnel has almost all been captured or killed.
More concrete evidence of the connection between Starfire and the Gate of the Pupil was uncovered as the investigation deepened.
There is evidence to suggest that the Gate of the Pupil intended to take cover under the Starfire Organization to hold some vile rituals within the Gloria Empireโs territory, but they were preemptively busted by the Empire.
Based on the intelligence searched from the memories of these Starfire Organization members, the Empireโs higher-ups also discovered a batch of powers that were secretly engaging with the Resistance Army and several other hidden Resistance Organizations, thus proceeding to eliminate them as well.
The Empireโs civilian forces directly faced a major reshuffling; some emerging powers in the original influence zones hastily pledged loyalty to the Empire, fearful of being cleansed in what was to come.
The sudden turn of the situation caused the plans initially prepared by the Gate of the Pupil to stir chaos within the Empire to directly die in the womb.
Faced with repeated severe provocations by the โGate of the Pupilโ organization, Gloria III had already started arranging manpower, prepared to let them feel the Empireโs iron fist.
The Empireโs dignity is not to be challenged, even if itโs a secret organization with multiple Ninth Ranks, it still must pay a painful price for its actions.
However, the most crucial point is, regarding that mysterious figure who appeared inside the Floating City and the rumored โTruth Circleโ organization, the Empire side still has not discovered any relevant intelligence.
Some conspiracy theorists even suspect that the so-called resistance force that acquired the secrets of the Ancient Magic Empire doesnโt actually exist at all.
Maybe that mysterious person was just someone disguised by another power, fabricated to divert their attention, and the name of a resistance organization was casually made up.
This guess might have some possibilities, but no one dares to bet on it.
Whether itโs true or not, one only needs to keep waiting; if this power truly exists, it will eventually reappear before everyoneโs eyes.

"...Yes, Iโm not sure either. At the time, I just randomly picked a relic that seemed good to me.
After entering the Meteorite Ruins, I suddenly felt the rod react, as if it was guiding me toward a certain direction..."
"Yes, because I was worried about the danger, I had my clone carry it to investigate the indicated location.
During the exploration, I encountered some students who had accidentally strayed, so I guided them back to the group."
"After entering that dark hall, I suddenly felt something from the scepter. Following that feeling, I swung it and entered what seemed to be a control room.
There, I attempted to use the scepter and left a message about our location as quickly as possible. However, just as I was about to explore other functions, my clone suddenly died..."
"...Yes, I understand, Father."
Days passed, and after concluding the communication with his family, Anvis watched the light of the crystal ball extinguish and let out a sigh.
For him, the current situation wasnโt too bad.
The impending turmoil of the Resistance Army was immediately given high priority by the empire because of his declaration and was extinguished before it could grow.
The subsequent internal strife in the empire and the formation of the Glory Alliance were not eliminated but at least significantly delayed, granting his family a breather,
At the same time, the serious injury of Stargazer Brents provided him with decades of safety, keeping him from potential threats and assassination from the hands of fate.
However, a more critical external threat still existed.
The secret research of the Church Court, like a Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, could fall at any moment.
He still needed to find ways to enhance his own strength and that of his family as much as possible, before the arrival of the enemyโs beyond-limits powerhouses, to ensure enough cards in hand to deal with it.
At the same time, the familyโs high-level formal inquiry finally arrived.
Just now, his familyโs high-ups carefully asked about the details of his control of the Floating City, as well as any news about the identity and origins of that mysterious person.
Previously, due to the suddenness of the events, the focus of the empireโs top echelons was mainly on the wreckage of Sky City, with only simple consolation offered to the numerous students.
But now, as more high-rank professionals conducted increasingly in-depth investigations, and after repeatedly questioning several students about the situation at the time, many began to notice something suspicious about Anvis.
According to the description of a few students who โnarrowly escaped deathโ from the hands of that mysterious person, before the mysterious person appeared, Anvis was able to control the space within the Floating City with a peculiar golden scepter, teleporting them from the Dream World into reality.
And right after the mysterious person obliterated Anvisโs clone, he took the golden scepter for himself.
This indicates that Anvis must have been aware of the function of the dark gold scepter for quite some time.
The origin of the golden scepter has been determined; it seems to have stemmed from an assignment at the Mysterious Academy.
The academy had thrown all artifact items with faint magic power essence from the relics into the Mysticism branch, allowing students to freely choose one to decipher.
But when the investigators traced the specific discoverer of the golden scepter, they were shocked to find that not a single Ninth-Rank professional who explored the ruins claimed to have found it thereโitโs as if it appeared out of nowhere among the many artifacts!
