Chapter 462 Fireworks

"Sir Vio, I don't understand what you mean."

Looking at the pendant in Anvis's hand, Landon shook his head with some confusion.

"It's very simple. Let's do a small test first. Do you see this amulet?"

With a mysterious smile, Anvis slowly stretched out his hand and motioned Landon to take the pendant in his hand.

"If I tell you now that if you activate this amulet, you can break through the high level in a short time and gain power strong enough to control your own destiny. But as a price, the entire federation will be plunged into war."

"Then, tell me, will you choose to activate it?"

"Activating this amulet can gain power, and will also cause the federation to fall into war? But Sir Vio, how is that possible?"

Holding the amulet, Landon looked at Anvis with some confusion.

"It doesn't matter whether it really has those abilities, Landon, this is just the prerequisite I set for you. What really matters is the choice you make in your heart."

With a smile, Anvis spread his hands with a relaxed look.

"You know, this is a world with magic and miracles. Landon, if all this is true, then, will you choose to activate this amulet?"

"I..."

Staring at the inconspicuous amulet in his hand, which was like a simple stone carving trinket and gray in color, Landon unconsciously began to think about Avis's "hypothesis".

On one side is the power that can be easily obtained, and on the other side is the price of the Federation falling into war.

"Sir Vio, I think...if that is true, I probably won't choose to activate it."

After hesitating for a moment, Landon finally shook his head and prepared to hand the amulet back to Avis.

"Why refuse? If you have power, then when you encounter a similar situation again, you can keep your gains. Isn't that great?"

Walking towards Leah's room, Avis' tone was a little doubtful, and he waved his hand gently, and did not immediately take the amulet from Landon's hand.

"I do want power, but if I let other innocent people pay the price for my desires, that's not what I want."

Landon shook his head, not quite agreeing with Avis's words.

"Is that so?"

After listening to Landon's explanation, Avis nodded slightly.

"Kindness, a beautiful and luxurious quality. It's not a bad thing to have such a quality."

As he spoke, Avis stared at Landon, and his tone gradually became serious.

"But I hope you can understand one thing, Landon. Kindness is the privilege of the strong and the grave of the weak."

"Now, let's change the premise for the previous assumption. What if a powerful enemy is ready to attack someone around you, such as Leah or Freya.

You are not strong enough, and there is no time to ask for help, so you can only watch it happen. If you activate this amulet, you will gain enough power to save them.

If the cost remains the same, what will you choose?"

"I... But they are currently under the protection of the Spark Organization. If it is a crisis that even His Majesty Leo and Teacher Garo can't stop, what can I do even if I am strong."

Hearing Avis's assumption, Landon's face suddenly fell into a struggle, and he instinctively didn't want to face this choice.

"The safety of the things you cherish cannot be entrusted to others."

Avis shook his finger gently at Landon's evasion.

"What if they have to go out for something urgent? What if they are also held back by a strong person of the same level?"

Looking at Landon who looked a little struggling, Avis added fuel to his fire.

"Now, let's add another detail. The acquisition of the power of the amulet cannot be instantly raised to the peak like fireworks, but it has to go through a relatively slow process of power growth.

In other words, even if you choose to activate it at a critical moment, you can't immediately get enough power to save your sister and little girl. What should you do then?"

"... Sir Vio, why are you telling me this?"

Shaking his head vigorously, Landon stopped, instinctively avoiding his inner thoughts, and began to question Avis's purpose.

Looking at Landon who was a little anxious because of his pressure, Avis laughed instead.

"I said this to tell you that you should not give up any opportunity to improve your strength."

"Some things and opportunities are irreversible. What happened is what happened, and what was missed is what was missed. Even if you get more in the future, you can never make up for it."

Taking the amulet back from Landon's hand, Avis shook it in front of the boy's eyes.

"Indeed, choosing power always requires a price. But not choosing power also requires another price. That is to completely hand over the fate of yourself and the people you cherish to others!"

"I...seem to understand a little, Mr. Vio. You are using this amulet as an analogy to symbolize the various situations that I may encounter in the future, where I need to pay a price to gain power."

Listening to Avis's earnest teachings like an elder, Landon nodded gently.

"In fact, if it really comes to that time, I think I should still choose power. I just...feel a little guilty about having this idea of ​​​​not caring about the cost."

"Don't blame yourself for the desire for power, Landon, because everyone desires power. Only by having a heart that always desires to become stronger can you survive better in this cold world."

With a teachable smile on his face, Avis's tone became a little bewitching.

"Mastering power means that you master your own destiny and the destiny of the people you cherish. It means that when you face the coming crisis, you have the right to freely choose your way of survival.

Rather than being powerlessly swept into the tide of fate, drifting with the flow, or being forced to make some choices that go against your heart."

As he said, Avis handed the amulet in his hand to Landon again.

"For example, this amulet, if I give you another chance to choose now, what choice will you make?"

"Thank you very much for your teaching, Lord Vio, I understand!"

After listening to Avis' words, Landon bowed to Avis solemnly and thanked him sincerely.

Then, he took the amulet with a little trembling, looked at Avis' encouraging eyes, took a deep breath, and activated the amulet in his hand directly.

A rainbow light rushed to the sky, and then exploded instantly, forming a magnificent giant silver-leaf rose.

"The new work I refined some time ago can release a magical firework that ignores obstacles. How about it, beautiful?"

Looking up at the sky, Avis smiled brightly at the web of fate of the continent that was fluctuating at the same time as the blooming fireworks.

Knowing the function of the amulet, he still chose to activate it.

Then, the prerequisite for the ceremony was met.
