Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 380 - 155: Foreknowledge of Crisis

"If Father doesn’t plan to agree, what use would there be in me speaking to him for you?"

Glancing at the young girl whose hair twinkled, Anvis shook his head and continued to monitor the body condition of the elemental dragon within the Magic Array.

"Besides, you should also be aware that the situation in the Empire is very unstable lately, right? Under these circumstances, I’m afraid Father is unlikely to agree to you leaving Pamir Academy."

"But brother! I’ve already made arrangements with Vent and the others, intending to go on an adventure with them during the academy’s vacation."

With her lake-blue large eyes looking rather pitiful, Fiona couldn’t help but stretch out her little hand and gently tug at the corner of Anvis’s clothes.

"Bro~ please, just talk to Father for me——"

"...Alright, but I can’t guarantee it will work."

Unable to resist Fiona’s pestering, Anvis eventually nodded in agreement to the girl’s request.

In fact, in this matter, he really couldn’t play much of a role. If Duke Carrot did not agree to Fiona’s personal outing for adventure, then even if he spoke, it would be of no use.

"It’s okay, as long as you’re willing to help, brother!"

Upon receiving Anvis’s promise, Fiona happily hugged Kate, spinning around until the little cat’s eyes bulged out.

"By the way, brother, do you have Kate’s party invitation?"

His calm hand shook slightly upon hearing this question, and the command Anvis was inputting into the Crystal Ball was suddenly written with a wrong Rune.

"No, who told you that?"

"Harvey told me, he said that you also have an invitation, and if I want to join, I could just ask you for an introduction.

By the way, what exactly is Kate’s party? When I asked Harvey, he hemmed and hawed and refused to explain in detail."

Toward the end, Fiona asked another somewhat strange question.

"It’s... a kind of special noble ball, where participants need to use a special Magic Potion in advance to disguise their true appearance and gender.

After the ball starts, all participants are as if wearing an invisible mask, which is why it is named after the legendary thousand-faced Thief ’Kate’."

Weighing his words carefully, Anvis was already considering whether to use magic to give Harvey some peace for a while.

Maybe make all the females he sees look like males?

That seemed a bit too cruel, so better to make just his female companions appear with the exterior of males.

"Anyway, as a young lady, it would be best for you not to attend such parties, as they could have a very negative impact on your reputation."

"Oh, I see." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Nodding with an air of understanding, although the girl was still a bit confused, she did not pursue the matter further.

About another half Magic Time later, as the last bit of change was recorded, Anvis finally concluded the experiment.

"It’s done, if there are any changes after it goes back, remember to tell me."

As he spoke, Anvis input commands to terminate the transmission of magic powers of various attributes in the laboratory. Several magic power conduits retracted, and the Array’s binding of the elemental dragon was officially released.

Regaining its freedom, Feiya quickly flew out of the Magic Laboratory, reverting back to the size of a mini kitty and leaped into Fiona’s arms.

When the Magic Array forcibly infused magic power earlier, although it was very filling, the feeling of losing control over its own body made the dragon very uncomfortable.

"Okay."

Embracing two little creatures, the young girl with light golden hair cocked her head and gazed at Anvis, wondering about something.

"Is there anything else, Fei?"

Noticing her peculiarity, Anvis casually asked.

"No, it’s just that you seem so amazing, brother! You’re only a year older than me, but you’re conducting all sorts of profound magic research and understand so many principles.

It doesn’t feel like you’re a Pamir freshman who’s been in school for just a year or two; instead, you seem more like... like those other brothers and sisters who have already gone through their coming-of-age ceremony and have their own territories."

After pondering hard, Fiona finally found the right adjective to describe him.

"If the person who gets the Star Body Stone Plate Fragment were you, I think father would agree to let you go exploring too."

"Maybe."

Anvis lifted a transparent crystal cone-shaped bottle and added two drops of a clear liquid. After gently shaking it, he appeared to be intently observing the changes within the sample.

Inside the bottle were some elemental structures extracted from the body of the young dragon Feiya, which, although separated from the main body, still retained a certain degree of energy activity.

However, Anvis was somewhat lost in thought.

He hadn’t attended classes for a while now, and thinking back, he felt that academic life seemed quite distant to him.

But for him, those classes were never essential, especially after Claire left, leaving behind only a couple of cats and kittens among the students of the Mysterious System.

Aside from causing some havoc by summoning monsters, cracking open low-rank mysterious items, and conducting other unacademic research like studying Slime girls, there wasn’t much use for them.

Taking another glance at the clueless Fiona, Anvis suddenly realized that, in fact, it would be more normal for someone his age to regularly attend magic lessons during the day and to participate in balls and parties in his spare time, just like Harvey and the others.

.........

After sending Fiona back, that night, while Anvis was immersed in a state of deep meditation, he suddenly perceived something unusual.

Through the haze, a faint grey mist suddenly enveloped his senses, making the surrounding environment seem somewhat ethereal.

This sensation... A new prophecy?

Feeling slightly surprised inside, Anvis tried to open his eyes, but they felt as if they were weighed down by a heavy burden and he couldn’t open them at all.

Yet, he could feel something approaching him relentlessly.

The sense of oppression and fear grew stronger, but his perception was shrouded by the grey mist, making it impossible to ’open his eyes’ and see what was in front of him.

Experiencing this for the first time, Anvis forced himself to calm down and ponder how to resolve the situation.

Clearly, he was in the midst of a crisis prophecy, but he could not ’see’ the prophetic vision due to obvious interference from external forces.

After contemplating briefly, Anvis immediately attempted to connect with the Ancient Secret Scriptures.

Upon successful connection, the faint grey mist suddenly trembled and then silently dispersed, revealing the scene behind it.

It was a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe, and beside the figure was the sleeping Fiona!

In the next instant, the vision shattered.

Anvis abruptly opened his eyes, and the room around him was the familiar one; he had exited the state of prophecy and returned to the normal world.

Meanwhile, far away in the Yiter Kingdom Federation, the Prophet Grey Mist opened his eyes in disbelief.

The top-level protection left by the stars had been foreseen by someone in advance?!
