Chapter 273 The Mutation of the Crystal Egg
After completing the mission, the two returned to the Gloria Empire.
Duke Carrot did not return with them, but planned to wait for another day, and then leave if there was still no harvest.
As a gentleman with good etiquette, Avis personally sent Alyssa back to the Pamir Knight Academy and exchanged identity marks with the young knight for future contact.
At the same time, when he returned to the academy, several unread messages appeared in his identity card in an instant.
Previously, due to the long distance, these messages were not successfully sent to Avis, but when he returned to the academy, all these messages came in at once.
Those were messages sent by Claire and other classmates. Because he suddenly did not go to the mysterious class in recent days, others were a little concerned about his situation.
However, while browsing these messages, Avis suddenly noticed something unusual.
Among all the unread messages, there was an abnormal feedback from Thorium!
The azure crystal egg he left in the underground laboratory has recently produced special fluctuations, and it is suspected that it will hatch!
After saying goodbye to Alyssa, Avis quickly returned to his residence. He himself was somewhat curious about what this egg from the distant starry sky could hatch.
"Authorization passed, welcome to your arrival, respected administrator Anvis."
Thorin's lovely and energetic voice sounded.
Recently, Anvis updated her voice pack, and currently uses preset one, which is Fiona's voice.
After greeting Thorin, Anvis confirmed the authority with his mental fluctuations and opened the special partition for hatching crystal eggs deep in the magic laboratory.
The translucent magic barrier enveloped the center of the laboratory, and the magic array on the ground was still continuously inputting pure wind attribute magic into the vortex crystal in the center.
At this time, the crystal was shining and extinguishing regularly like breathing, emitting beautiful sky-blue fluorescence.
The barrier was a safety specially set by Anvis. Since he was not sure what form the hatched thing would exist in, he used a high-level magic barrier to cover the egg inside to prevent the hatched creature from escaping accidentally.
After all, everything is unknown, and it never hurts to be cautious.
"Thorium, call up the hatching record, and show the current egg state and the initial state at the same time."
"The order has been accepted--"
A translucent magic light screen opened in front of Avis, showing the changes in various values during the hatching process of the crystal egg. And various data comparison charts.
From the comparison, it can be seen that the current frequency of fluctuations inside the crystal has become obvious and clear from the original weak.
In addition, the vortex structure in the center has obviously expanded a lot compared to the initial expansion, from the size of a golf ball to the size of a fist.
The fluctuation line has an obvious peak in the center, and the frequency has changed greatly before and after. It was at that time that Thorium triggered the alarm.
According to the magic shadow record, at the moment when the fluctuation changed, the crystal egg suddenly began to flicker, and the vortex structure in it was expanded to its current size in less than half a minute.
However, when Avis observed, the crystal egg was still absorbing magic power slowly, and there was no obvious change.
According to Thorium's records, it has absorbed enough magic power to release more than a dozen eighth-level super-position magics so far.
If this energy is used to refine the secret plutonium core, it is enough to refine seven and a half.
After thinking about it, Avis asked Thor to continue to monitor the status of the egg, and he left again, waiting for the official hatching of the crystal egg.
.
….….
Federation, Silver Wind City.
Three days after the arrest, that is, one day after Avis returned to the empire, Duke Carrot and the ninth-level of the Alfred family finally gave up waiting and truly returned to the empire.
As ninth-level, they all have their own things to do, and it is impossible for them to wait here all the time.
However, less than half a day after the two of them left completely, a cloaked figure with a blurred figure, as if wandering outside the world, appeared silently in the ruins.
At this time, the Lord of Silver Wind City had ordered a temporary curfew near the ruins, and all idle people were not allowed to enter, and the city guards were closely guarded to prevent accidents.
But none of the city guards guarding nearby noticed the appearance of the cloaked man, as if there was nothing there in their sight.
After taking a quick look at the ruins, the figure was silent for a moment, and then entered the basement with a large hole torn open, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was investigating something.
"Strange... The hiding effect here was intact before? What went wrong?"
After a moment, the figure frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
Did the empire's prophet get lucky? Did he just guess it with the special prophecy magic of chance? Or did he use some consumable prophecy items?
After checking the surroundings, he took down a brick left on the wall of the basement. A faint gray mist overflowed from his palm and wrapped the stone.
He planned to use the prophecy spell to trace back the prophet who cracked his proud spell this time to see who he was.
Wherever there is a trace, there must be a trace, and the same is true for the prophecy spell.
No matter who it is, since he has cracked his disguise fog, he will inevitably leave traces of the spell at the level of fate!
Except for the one on the sky city, he is not afraid of any other prophet. Even if it was that person who took action personally this time, he was confident that he could cut off the connection in time and disguise his escape.
But after a moment, the figure frowned again.
In his special vision of destiny, there was no trace of spells left, it was empty, as if no one had ever cracked his spell.
But the ruins in front of him clearly told him that his spell did not work.
I'm afraid that the other party had eliminated the traces of the prophecy spell through extremely clever means.
This is not only to avoid being traced, but also a warning and demonstration to him!
There were no other valuable things left, the figure put away the brick casually, preparing to destroy it separately later, and then the figure disappeared instantly.
When he reappeared, he was already in a secret underground base.
Surrounded by ancient lead-gray black schist walls, with rough patterns carved on them, it seemed that a strange humanoid creature was hunting a behemoth.
This was originally a real ancient ruins. After a simple transformation, it is currently one of their underground bases.
After returning here, the hazy prophet did not stop, but went straight to the central hall of the ruins.
There is a long table of black schist in the center of the hall, and high-back chairs of the same material are placed beside the table. What is a bit strange is that there is a corresponding crystal ball on each chair.
When he came to the long table, he reached out and pressed on the crystal ball on the first seat on the left.
The crystal ball emitted a grayish-white light, and under this influence, the crystal balls on the other seats also began to glow.
After a moment, more than a dozen people wearing black robes with the emblem of the Door in the Eye, with dark magic projections on their facial features, appeared in the air above the crystal ball.
"Gray Mist, why did you suddenly start summoning?"
The black-robed man with dark gold emblem lines at the head of the long table turned to the prophet and spoke hoarsely.
"I believe everyone has already known that the Silver Wind City stronghold has been exposed."
The prophet in a gray cloak said concisely.
"The two ninth-level people have left, but when I went to the ruins to explore, I did not detect any traces of cracking left by the prophecy spell. It seems that a prophet who is far stronger than me has taken action!"
