Chapter 237 Secret Society

Carefully placing a few magic runes at the nodes of the corridor, Avis looked at this familiar scene and sighed in his heart.

Another group of new geniuses are coming, and in the not too distant future, they will all become the pillars of the empire.

Perhaps because the changes sweeping the continent are about to come, the web of fate has already produced signs in advance, causing people with destiny to descend on this era.

Heroes emerge in troubled times-

In the next few decades, there will be people who are extremely dazzling and worthy of being recorded in history.

In them, the national destiny of the entire Gloria Empire is maintained.

While sighing, Avis skillfully connected some special magic circuits between several magic runes to form a more complex and sophisticated whole.

As a senior, he has the obligation to add some hardships to their life path.

Without going through hardships, how can you know that you are not that material?

"Avis, the trap we set up needs to be cracked by means below the second level."

Looking at the five-fold rune chain set up by Avis with a bit of helplessness, Claire on the side reminded him.

"Is it difficult?"

Avis glanced at the trap he set up.

The degree of difficulty increase is roughly equivalent to the degree of defusing five bombs connected together at the same time from defusing one bomb.

But to enter Pamir College, isn't it a basic operation to be distracted and do five things at the same time?

Or wouldn't it be better to use props to be immune to illusions?

After thinking about it, Avis still erased two of them and changed the structure to make it a triple overlapping rune trap.

The specific effect...can let the victim see what he expects in his heart.

"This should be okay, I believe it can pass the test of the instructors."

After the adjustment, the comprehensive score of this trap dropped from the peak of the first level to the high level of the first level.

"This...Okay."

Shaking her head, Claire couldn't help but sweat for this year's freshmen.

The two were mainly responsible for setting traps on the road leading to the top of the main tower, and the passages leading to the major branch locations along the way were set up by senior students as an additional option with higher difficulty.

Originally, Claire's strength had broken through the fourth level, and she should have gone to the senior class.

But after returning to the academy, Avis found that her strength had also recovered to the level of the middle of the third level.

Moreover, the strange sense of loss on the island became hidden again, and became very ordinary in perception.

Like him, Claire was in a very special disguise state.

"Hey, don't worry, I think you must have tried to set traps here for the first time?"

At this time, a blue-haired girl heard the two people's chat, and after setting the trap at hand, she came over.

She is Milia, a senior student of the third-level high-level mystery school, a rare student from a non-aristocratic background, and has been enrolled for three years.

"Just do your best, as long as the trap is not higher than the first level. The person who sets the trap that can trap the freshmen the longest, although there is no reward like passing the welcome ceremony, but there are hidden benefits!"

"Besides, the speed at which freshmen pass the welcome ceremony will be recorded in the file! If you let them go, wouldn't it be unfair to the former freshmen?"

Due to her cheerful and familiar personality that is different from ordinary mages, Milia has a good relationship with most students in the class.

"Hidden benefits?"

Claire was a little surprised when she suddenly heard the news.

"Yes!"

Millia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"You have heard of the 'association' in Pamir College, right?"

"You mean the Relics Exploration Exchange, the Old Mysticism Research Society, the Mysterious Relics Exchange Society, etc.? I have joined them all."

Claire nodded, indicating that she understood it.

"According to school rules, in order to give freshmen who have been enrolled for less than a year enough time to learn about Pamir College, the association can only recruit students who have been enrolled for a full year."

Beside her, Avis helped to add a sentence.

"Yes, that's it."

She snapped her fingers lightly, and then the blue-haired girl suddenly looked around, trying to put on a mysterious expression on her face.

"But, do you know? Associations are not just those that recruit people all day long, there are also those secret types that are deeply hidden under the surface and only issue invitations to students who pass a certain "assessment"!"

"And what I'm going to tell you next involves one of those secret associations."

As she spoke, Milia lowered her voice.

"I don't know what the association is called, but it is said that in the welcome ceremony, the traps set up to trap freshmen for the longest time are also one of their secret assessment items!"

"Such a strange assessment item? Is there anything special about that association?"

Claire's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her blue eyes were full of strangeness.

Although she has been enrolled for almost three years, she is not well-informed due to her background and her intentional distance from other students.

"What's special?"

Milia smiled mysteriously, blinked, and suddenly asked two questions.

"I think you should know that in the academy's trading market, the ratio of gold coins to credits is thirty to one.

But have you ever thought about why it is this ratio, instead of forty to one or fifty to one? "

"Moreover, most of the students who can enter Pamir College have no shortage of gold coins at home. As for the importance of college credits, both of you should know very well. Even if one hundred gold coins are exchanged for one credit, there are still many people willing to exchange.

But in the trading market and the task hall, all tasks for purchasing credits are maintained at this ratio. Even those newcomers who are supposed to know nothing about the rules are issued the same tasks.

Don't you feel strange about this?"

"Huh?"

Claire was stunned. She really had never thought about this question. She instinctively looked at Avis with a questioning look in her eyes.

Aside, Avis's face became slightly solemn.

Although the Duke did not tell him the specific information, due to his memories of his previous life, he knew the inside story behind it clearly.

"Yes, there is certainly some kind of force behind the occurrence of this phenomenon. "

Not knowing Avis's identity, Milia continued to enthusiastically reveal the inside story to the 'genius freshman' and 'cold elf' in her eyes.

"According to the gossip circulating in the academy, the reason why the credits are fixed at this price is because of the power of this association behind it!"

"And those freshmen who don't follow the rules will receive special warnings, and the tasks issued will be cleared from the inside, and they are not allowed to reveal their existence to the outside world."
