Chapter 491 Mysterious Fragments

Misty Forest, Pamir Academy.

As it was in the Hearthfire Month, Pamir Academy was in the annual recruitment period. Many academy guides who had accepted the task were waiting for the arrival of new students in their respective areas.

Without any warning, in the surprised eyes of everyone, a strange small airship suddenly broke into the academy's maze and slowly landed at the airport dock.

The ice-blue crystal bird emblem was imprinted on the side of the airship. Under the shining of the morning sun, the eternal crown pattern surrounding the emblem flashed with brilliance, attracting people's attention.

Accompanied by a weak magical fluctuation, the hatch slid open silently, and the metal gangway covered with a red carpet slowly descended to the ground.

Greeted by two academy guide mages, Anvis slowly walked down the family's alchemical airship. The exquisite earth dragon leather boots stepped on the solid black stone ground of the dock, making a rustling sound.

Behind him, the silver-white alchemical airship gradually rose up, and then went away among the light golden clouds illuminated by the morning sun.

"Sir Avis, this is your new college ID card. Your previous residence is still reserved for you. You can go and receive it at any time."

After Avis stood firm, one of the guide mages stepped forward and took out an ID card and handed it to Avis.

"And, in addition to your previous credit balance, there are an additional 5,000 credits, which is the college's compensation for your previous attack."

"Okay, thank you, Sir Guide."

Nodding calmly, Avis didn't say much, just took the ID card, and then left for his residence.

This was his personal compensation. When the enemy attacked before, the trap he set in his courtyard was triggered, triggering the maze alarm, which scared the other party away.

As for the fact that Fiona was taken away by the enemy, the Pamir College and the family discussed the compensation issue separately, which had nothing to do with Avis.

Soon, his former residence appeared in his sight.

After a year and a half, the traces of the elemental explosion in the courtyard have been covered by weeds. The green climbing plants have spread to the outer wall of the small building, and lavender flowers are blooming.

After spending half a day using magic to repair his residence, Avis took out a pile of letters from the magic mailbox, and then took off the sign of "Do Not Enter" on the fence door of the courtyard and returned to his residence.

In half a day, I believe that the news of his return should have reached the ears of many people who are interested.

As Avis expected, in the following days, many people came to visit one after another with their own thoughts.

The fastest ones were the descendants of the other three major families, as well as the ninth prince Lanno and others.

Their intelligence was the most informed. For major events like Avis's return, they had been notified as early as when Avis boarded the airship to the academy.

Later, those who visited him were his friends such as Harvey, Hillier, and the female knight Erica.

Albins himself was in charge of an important magic experiment and could not leave for the time being, but he also controlled a constructed clone to meet with Avis and exchanged identity marks again.

At the same time, during the time when he was not in Pamir, Claire, who had left the academy, sent him several letters.

She shared her travel experiences in them, and attached some magical images of ruins and antiquities, as well as some small things found in the ruins.

For example, strange eyeball sculptures, silver pendants engraved with twisted stars, runes carved on black stone, pale green fossils, etc.

Looking at these magical images and souvenirs, Avis could imagine the scene of her thrilling escape from the collapsed ruins everywhere.

However, when he picked up the last letter sent by Claire, the old secret book hanging on his waist suddenly flickered.

This immediately attracted Avis's attention. He opened the letter and poured out a piece of dark blue fragment about the size of a fingernail from the envelope.

The material of this fragment seems to be some kind of crystal, but it shines with a bright metal-like luster, and there are several parallel scratches on the surface. Due to its small size, its original shape cannot be distinguished.

Avis picked up the fragment and held it in his hand. It felt very light, not even as heavy as ice of the same volume.

He noticed that when he held up the fragment, the Old Secret Scripture did flicker slightly, but it did not change further.

Avis was a little concerned about this change, and looked at the content and time of the letter.

The letter was sent by Claire four months ago. In the letter, the half-elf girl told about a hidden ancient ruins group she found in the Lost Desert, as well as some strange traces of prehistoric civilization in it.

The fragment was obtained by her at an altar in the ruins. Since she could not distinguish its specific material, she sent it to Avis to see if she could tell its purpose.

After repeatedly testing the fragment, Avis finally found that through these conventional identification magics, he could not tell what it was.

After thinking for a while, Avis contacted the head of the family and asked him to investigate Claire's whereabouts as soon as possible.

Then, he took the fragment into the underground laboratory and prepared to use a special magic spectrum analyzer to determine the specific elemental composition of the fragment.

.

….….

In Avis's research, half a month passed in a flash.

During this period, Avis did not have a smooth time. The progress of instrument analysis was unexpectedly slow, and the detection progress was only about halfway through.

The family's intelligence agency also failed to find Claire. They only found out that she entered the Lost Desert alone and then disappeared.

Under such circumstances, Avis came to the classroom of the advanced mystical course for the first time in a long time, ready to change his mood.

"Today, I will tell you about the legendary seventh-level mystical spell "Limited Wishing"!"

In the center of the wide casting field, a huge magic circle with dark red main lines, as if drawn with the blood of some creature, is emitting a faint magical light.

Several mermaid candles with blue candle flames are scattered at the six corners of the core of the ritual magic circle, making the indoor atmosphere very mysterious.

Standing in the core of the magic circle, in front of a huge black crystal ball half a person's height, the silver-haired girl mentor Nancy pushed her silver-rimmed glasses and looked at the many students on one side of the ritual magic circle.

"Most wish magic is actually like a sleight of hand. All it does is to 'realize' wishes through ordinary means, using magic to make up for the unreasonableness of the process."

The lens reflected the jumping blue light, and Nancy's eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone.

"Perhaps you will make a wish to obtain some treasures, such as dragon scales, which may cause a dragon to fly over your residence. Or simply a dragon's space transmission made a mistake and was directly teleported to your home.

Then, under the effect of the wish magic, it dropped a scale. But at this point, the effect of the wish magic ended.

The most important thing is that this does not mean that the dragon itself cannot feel the influence of the wish magic, so you will have to face the wrath of a dragon."
