Chapter 256: Trial and Assessment of the True Knowledge Society
After removing the magic isolation, Avis took out the blue-gold invitation letter and examined it carefully.
The invitation letter felt a little heavy. Although it was only a thin piece, due to the ultra-high density of refined gold, it was still like holding a metal plate.
When holding it in his hand, the symbol of the Scepter of Truth on the surface exuded a faint magical luster, and a spiritual message touched Avis's mental defense wall and was then intercepted.
He extended his spiritual tentacles and touched the message.
Then, a long background introduction about the True Knowledge Society and another short message appeared in Avis's spiritual sea.
'On the fifteenth day of the Hearthfire Month, at midnight, enter the dream with the invitation letter, pass through the door, and you will arrive at the venue. Please prepare in advance. '
The message informed the location of the next gathering of the True Knowledge Society and how to get there.
However, Avis knew very well that the location indicated by the instructions on the invitation letter was not the so-called 'venue'. It was the location of the final assessment for newcomers who wanted to join the True Knowledge Society.
Newcomers who have reached the standard in all aspects of hidden scores need to go through the last trial assessment before they can officially become a member of the True Knowledge Society and enter the most cutting-edge circle of the entire empire.
Even the descendants of the four great dukes of the empire cannot escape this.
Anvis had also participated in this assessment in his previous life. The specific location of the assessment was in the dream world. Generally speaking, it is similar to a super-large secret realm.
Newcomers need to rely on their own strength to break through the various dangers in the dream world, find the real venue, and find a way to enter it.
In the process, newcomers can choose to form a team or go alone. As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, all means can be used.
If the previous assessment scores are to judge the comprehensive qualities of newcomers, then this one is to test the newcomers' ability to respond on the spot.
In this assessment, the judges of the True Knowledge Society will establish character files for them according to the different choices made by the newcomers.
Leader type, lone wolf type, resourceful type, hot-blooded type...
According to these different files, resources can be allocated more efficiently in the future.
If it is still a normal assessment like before, Anvis is confident that he will pass it. But he was a little worried now. Would the prediction made in advance bring any changes to his assessment process this year?
However, this thought only appeared for a moment, and he extinguished it, and quietly began to prepare for the assessment.
Unless he chose to refuse to join, he would have to face it all.
Duke Carrot was also a senior member of the True Knowledge Society. Even if there were any changes in the assessment this year, it would not be too much.
.
….….
That night, Avis dressed neatly, holding the invitation letter, and quietly waiting for the arrival of midnight.
He currently changed into a moon-white classical long dress, a blue-bottomed silver-edged wavy scarf, and a pure black long cloak with gold edges on the outside, which was buckled on the chest with dark gold carved buckles.
The mithril wire-framed monocle was worn in front of his left eye. The magic light like moonlight slowly floated on the crystal-clear lens surface, looking extremely mysterious.
It was a magic dress specially made for combat by him, which had a series of practical effects such as adapting to the environment, magic deflection, curse protection, and replenishing magic.
The light blue star-shaped gem on the scarf on the chest is the core of the whole set of clothes. It stores a lot of magic power, which can increase the power of the wearer's spells and can be used as an external magic source when the caster's magic power is exhausted.
According to the player's panel classification, this should be a top-level purple suit.
Of course, this does not increase his real strength much, and it is more of a cover-up.
As Avis waited, time passed quickly.
As the low clock of the huge Gloria-style floor clock sounded, midnight officially arrived.
At the same time, the invitation in his hand suddenly emitted a faint light.
A familiar power with a dreamy atmosphere gradually spread from the invitation, enveloped his body, and made him feel a little trance.
This is the phenomenon of entering the dream world. Avis soon saw the door connecting to the dream world.
Relying on the power of the invitation, the illusory door slowly opened a gap, allowing him to pass through it.
After opening his eyes, the familiar night sky of the dream world appeared in sight.
The familiar, exceptionally bright purple moon, the dark, hole-like stars in the sky, and the pale blue guiding star in the far north sky.
Slowly getting up, Avis looked around.
He appeared in a clearing in the forest of the dream world, with a huge dream white oak tree standing in the center of the clearing, looking hundreds of meters high.
The pale purple moonlight fell quietly here, and several electric blue dream fireflies circled around the strange pale white flowers. Accompanied by bursts of pleasant insect chirping, everything was very familiar to Avis.
In the surrounding environment, there were already two figures in different costumes.
On a branch of the huge oak tree, stood a blurry figure covered in a dark cloak, throwing a gold coin in one hand.
On the other side, above the thick tree roots, a girl wearing the uniform of Pamir Academy and long wavy light blue hair sat there, playing with a magic cube with an extremely complex structure.
Noticing the appearance of Avis, the two stopped their movements and looked over at the same time.
"Is this the venue?"
Avis looked back at the two calmly, asking knowingly.
"I don't know, I'm new here too."
The girl with wavy hair held the Rubik's Cube with both hands, shook her head gently, and looked at the figure in black robe with a calm expression.
"Hei, do you know anything?"
"Don't give me a nickname casually... You can call me Kaxiu."
With a slightly helpless tone, Kaxiu grabbed the gold coin and gently floated down from the tree branch, landing on the ground without a sound.
"Like you, I am just a new member who received the invitation letter. The direction indicated by my invitation letter is here. As for why there is no one, maybe the party time has not officially started yet."
Having said that, Kaxiu shrugged, indicating that he didn't know much.
"Okay, Kaxiu, I'm Safia."
"In that case, I have a guess now."
The girl with light blue wavy hair raised her head, looked at Kaxiu, and then looked at Avis.
"Perhaps, it is because we are new that we were sent here."
The girl's mental power simultaneously depicted eighteen different inscriptions on six faces. After thinking for a while, she spoke again.
"If my guess is correct, then there should be something nearby that will tell us what to do next."
