Chapter 273 Mutation of Crystal Eggs
The mission ended and the two returned to the Gloria Empire.
Duke Karrot did not return with him, but prepared to wait another day before leaving if there was still no harvest.
As a well-mannered gentleman, Anves personally sent Alyssa back to the Pamir Knight Academy and exchanged a stamp of identity with Dame for future contact.
At the same time, when he returned to the Academy, there were several unread messages in the status token instantly.
None of these messages had been successfully sent to Anves due to the distance, but when he returned to the Academy, they were all crowded in.
That was a message from Claire and other classmates. Because he suddenly didn’t go to mysterious class in recent days, others were a little concerned about his situation.
However, while browsing the information, Anves suddenly noticed something unusual.
Among all the unread messages, there is an abnormal feedback from Thorium!
The azure crystal egg he left in the underground laboratory has recently experienced special fluctuations, and it is suspected that it is about to hatch!
After saying goodbye to Alyssa, Anves quickly returns to his residence. He was also a little curious about what kind of existence this egg from the distant starry sky could hatch.
“Authorization passed. Welcome, Your Excellency Manager Anves.”
Thorium’s lovely and energetic voice sounded.
Recently, Anves updated her voice pack, currently using preset 1, which is Fiona’s voice.
After saying hello to Thorium, Anves confirmed the authority with his Spiritual Fluctuation, and opened a special section in the depths of the magic laboratory to hatch crystal eggs.
The translucent magic Formation is shrouded in the center of the laboratory, and the array on the ground is still continuously inputting the pure Wind Attribute magic into the central vortex crystal.
At this moment, the crystal is like breathing, on and off regularly, exuding beautiful azure fluorescence.
The Formation is an insurance specially set up by Anves. Since he is not sure what form the hatched thing will exist in, he uses a high-level magic barrier to cover the egg inside to prevent the hatched creature from accidentally escaping.
It doesn’t hurt to be cautious, after all.
“Thorium, bring up the hatching record, and show the status of the current egg compared to the original status.”
“The order has been accepted—”
A translucent magic light screen opened in front of Anves, which displayed the changes of various values during the incubation of the crystal eggs. and data comparison charts.
It can be seen from the comparison that the current fluctuation frequency inside the crystal has become obvious and clear from the original weak.
And, the vortex structure in the center has obviously expanded a lot from the initial size, from a golf ball size to a fist sized one.
The fluctuating line has an obvious peak in the center, and there is a large change in the frequency before and after. Thorium triggered the alarm at that time.
According to the phantom records, at the moment when the fluctuations changed, the crystal eggs suddenly began to flicker, and the vortex structure in them was expanded to the current size in less than half a minute.
However, when Anves observed, the crystal egg was still absorbing mana at a moderate pace, and there was no significant change.
According to Thorium’s records, it has absorbed enough magic power to release more than ten Eighth Rank super-magic so far.
If you use this energy to refine the secret plutonium core, it is enough to extract seven and a half.
After thinking about it, Anves still let Thorium continue to monitor the status of the eggs, and left again, waiting for the official hatching of the crystal eggs.
.
….….
Federation, Silver Wind City.
Three days after the arrest, and one day after Anves returned to the Empire, Duke Karrot and the ninth rank of the Alfred family finally gave up the wait and really returned to the Empire.
As ninth rank, they all have their own things to do, impossible is always waiting here.
However, before the two of them left half a day later, a man with a blurred figure, like a cloak silhouette straying from the world, appeared silently in the ruins.
At this time, the vicinity of the ruins has been temporarily martial law ordered by the Silver Wind City City Lord, no one should be allowed to enter, and is closely guarded by the City Guard to prevent accidents.
But none of the City Guards who were in the vicinity noticed the appearance of the cloaked man, as if nothing existed there in their sight.
After briefly surveying the ruins, the silhouette was silent for a while, and entered the basement where a large opening had been torn, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was looking for something.
“Strange…the hidden effect here was intact before? What went wrong?”
After a while, the silhouette frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
Is the empire’s prophets lucky? Just got it right with the special prophecy magic of try one’s luck type? Or use some consumable prophecy Rare Item?
Checking the surroundings, he removed a piece of masonry left on the basement wall. A faint gray mist overflowed from his palm, wrapping the stone.
He is going to use the prophecy spell to reversely trace the prophet who cracked his proud spell this time to see where it is.
Anyone who has done wrong will leave a trace, and the same is true of prophecy spell.
No matter who it is, since he has cracked his camouflage fog, he will inevitably leave traces of spell on the level of destiny!
Except for the one above the city in the sky, he is not afraid of any other prophets. Even if it was the one who took the shot personally this time, he was confident that he could cut off the connection in time and escape in disguise.
But after a moment, silhouette’s brows furrowed again.
In his special vision of destiny, there is no trace of spell left, it is empty, and it seems that no one has cracked his spell at all.
But the ruins in front of him clearly told him that his spell was not working.
I am afraid that the other party has re-eliminated the traces of the prophecy spell through extremely brilliant means.
This is not only to avoid being traced back, but also a warning and demonstration to him!
There are no other valuable things left, silhouette put away the brick, ready to destroy it alone, and then the figure disappears instantly.
When reappeared, he was already in a secret underground base.
Surrounded by ancient lead-grey black schist walls, with rough patterns carved on them, it seems that a strange humanoid is hunting giant beast.
This was originally a real ancient ruin, and after a simple renovation, it is now one of their underground bases.
After returning here, the shadowy prophet did not stop, but went straight to the central hall of the ruins.
In the center of the hall is a long black schist table with high-back chairs of the same material. What is strange is that on each chair, there is a corresponding crystal ball.
When he came to the long table, he reached out and pressed his hand on the crystal ball on the first seat on the left.
The crystal ball emits a grayish-white light, and as a result, the crystal balls on the rest of the seats also begin to glow.
In a moment, more than a dozen people wearing black robes with the emblem of the gate in the pupil, and the dark magic projection of the facial features appeared in the midair above the crystal ball.
“Grey fog, why did you suddenly turn on the summon?”
The black robed man whose emblem line is dark golden turned to the prophet and hoarsely said.
“Everyone must have known about the exposure of the Silver Wind City stronghold.”
The prophet in a gray cloak was concise.
“The two ninth ranks have already left, but when I went to investigate the ruins, I didn’t notice any cracks left by the prophecy spell. It seems that a prophet far stronger than me shot!”
