Chapter 518 True and False

"What's the situation? Did you find anything wrong?"

When Avis was preparing to act, Marquis Draka, who was thinking about the details of the next plan in the study, suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He didn't think it was just an illusion. As a ninth-level professional, the sudden feeling of the heart often represents some kind of omen.

So, he summoned Shadow again, ready to ask about the current progress.

"The people of the two major families are already on the way. Atno Alfred has been successfully controlled by us. He is ready to return to the family with the Sword of the King Chosen at any time. The time is enough to catch up with the envoys of the other two major families before they arrive at the Alfred family."

"Hmm...wait, Atno Alfred?"

When he heard this name, in the darkness of the study, Marquis Draka suddenly frowned.

He suddenly thought of something: Could it be that the other party was just pretending to be hypnotized, but was actually always waiting for the opportunity to escape?

"Wait, where is he now? I'll go check it out myself."

Thinking of this, the Marquis couldn't sit still.

Etno played a very important role in his plan, and even gave the Sword of the King to the other party. If he really just pretended to be hypnotized, then he was equivalent to handing the Sword of the King to the Alfred family for nothing!

"I understand, please follow me, Marquis."

Although she was puzzled by the Marquis's sudden inspection, Shadow still carried out the other party's orders meticulously.

For her, in addition to the orders of the Lord God, the Marquis's orders were the highest priority.

A moment later, passing through the long rock corridor engraved with secret patterns, the two arrived in front of a "secret room" made entirely of special alloys.

This secret room has no doors or windows. The only way to enter and exit is through a special ultra-short distance teleportation array. Etno Alfred, who had been missing for a long time, was now locked in it.

Shadow took the Marquis to stand on the teleportation array with familiarity. After detecting the mental fluctuations of Marquis Draka, the teleportation array immediately began to operate.

The picture flashed, and the surrounding environment became a small and dim space. A young man with light blond hair and purple eyes sat quietly on the bed in the middle of the room, without any reaction to the two people who suddenly appeared.

The walls were engraved with dense and tiny runes, and a huge super magic crystal was shining like a star on the top of the secret room, emitting a cold light with a blue and white tint. It was the energy core of many magic pattern circuits and the only light source in the room.

After entering here, Marquis Draka's eyes instantly projected on Atno and checked him thoroughly and carefully.

However, after checking, Marquis Draka found that the other party's mind was indeed in a deep hypnotic state.

That kind of numbness from the soul cannot be faked. He had seen many people who had been hypnotized before. After experiencing enough samples, he had experience in whether a person was obedient through disguise.

"Okay, get ready to teleport."

After eliminating his worries, Marquis Draka glanced at the sword of the king in the other party's hand, which looked like a stone sculpture, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In fact, the design of this secret room is not only to prevent Alfred from predicting Eterno's whereabouts, but also to hide the whereabouts of the Sword of the King.

As an epic artifact, the "presence" of the Sword of the King is much stronger than that of Eterno himself.

Even if it is placed in a space object, it cannot conceal its star-like aura in the night sky. Even if it is thrown into a micro-demiplane, it cannot be isolated from the detection of prophecy magic, but will directly expose the spatial coordinates of the demiplane.

According to the inscription structure of the special instrument found in the ruins, Marquis Draka spent a huge amount of resources to create this special fully enclosed secret room.

And then, this sword will be teleported to the area near the Alfred family with Eterno Alfred, ensuring that when returning to the family, the envoys of the two families can barely find its trace.

"By the way, pay more attention to his condition, don't let anything happen at this time."

Before leaving, Marquis Draka thought about it, and still gave a little worrying reminder, telling Shadow to be prepared.

"As you command, Lord Marquis."

After nodding respectfully, Shadow moved his mind, and Atno stood up in a daze, walked mechanically to the teleportation array, and then disappeared in a burst of light.

Shadow waved his hand in preparation, and an illusory round mirror appeared in front of the two of them. The mirror showed the perspective of Atno's body.

After leaving the secret room, the young man with blond hair and purple eyes shuddered, and then his eyes became clear in an instant, and he quickly looked around.

Rugged gray-white rock mountains, lush silver oak forests, and a large lake shaped like a crescent on one side. Gray-white rocks in groups of three or two were suspended near the lake, covered with tender green vegetation.

Atno was very familiar with this place, which was a famous wonder in the province of Paravani, the Silver Moon Lake.

Those floating rocks were not floating by themselves, but were affected by the magical force field of the lake itself.

But most importantly, this place is not far from the residence of the Alfred family.

Because his mind was distorted by hypnotic magic, Atno always believed that he got the Sword of the Chosen King at the last moment, but was caught up in the aftermath of the ruins' self-destruction.

Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also swept into the depths of the Endless Sea by the chaotic space turbulence. It was not until now that he finally found the direction and returned to the Yar Continent.

However, when he thought of the sword of the king he had brought out from the ruins after a narrow escape, he felt that it was all worth it.

Touching a space ring hanging on his chest with a fiery heart, Atno was about to send a message to contact the family to pick him up.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"Uncle Willer."

Seeing the person coming, Atno was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted him.

The other party was an old ninth-level of the Alfred family. In addition to the head of the Alfred family, he usually came forward to deal with some problems faced by the family.

"Hmph——"

However, after Willer nodded, his eyes suddenly turned, as if he was looking in a direction where there was nothing.

But the two people who were observing through the magic mirror were slightly startled. The other party's eyes seemed to penetrate the mirror and saw the two people behind the mirror.

With a cold snort from the other party, the mirror shattered instantly, and Shadow's breath suddenly became a little disordered.

"Sorry, Lord Marquis."

Without considering her own situation, Shadow immediately apologized to Marquis Draka.

"No need, this step is enough. You can't spy on him without being discovered now."

However, the Marquis did not blame her for this.

As a veteran ninth-level, it is normal for Shadow's peeping magic to be detected and countered at the first time.

Then, the Sword of the King Chosen and the ninth-level of the Alfred family appeared in Silver Moon Lake together. Presumably, the people of the other two major families who will pass by there soon should also be discovered soon, right?

Thinking of this, the corners of the Marquis' mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but have a reverie in his heart.

I really want to see with my own eyes what kind of expressions the other three major families will have when they learn that the real body of the Sword of the King Chosen is in the Alfred family.

On the other side, with the secret cooperation of Shadow, Avis, disguised as Willer, quickly controlled Atno, and then skillfully took out the real Sword of the King-Chosen from the ring on his chest, and then put a replica in as a replacement.

Admiring the gray-white rock long sword in his hand, Avis smiled.

I wonder what expression Marquis Draka would have when he learned that the Sword of the King-Chosen had been replaced. It must be very interesting.

Let Shadow simulate it afterwards.
