"This isn’t fair, how can a Mind Control Priest control my Mechanical Titan!"
In the end, Fiona pouted and began to question the fairness of Anvis’s victory.
"Because the real-world background of the Molten Furnace Titan is that it’s a taboo existence which has lost control from its original master and subsequently destroyed its own civilization."
While tidying up, Anvis patiently explained the background knowledge to her.
"Therefore, the control judgment for the Molten Furnace Titan is quite special, and in fact, it is based on the attribute of the Heart of the Furnace card."
"Read more books, my dear Fei, even if it’s just playing Secret Magic Cards, knowledge is extremely important."
"...Wah! You’re bullying me again! Feiya, go bite him for me!"
Unable to argue her way out, the flustered Fiona looked towards the little dragon Feiya, hoping it would help her get justice.
"My dear Feiya, there are thirteen days left until your next health check-up."
Looking at the elemental young dragon as well, Anvis showed a kind smile.
The caught-in-the-middle Feiya: ...
Ying ying ying, life is tough as a dragon.jpg
In the end, the pitiful young dragon looked towards Fiona with a pleading gaze.
"Hmph... Forget it, not a bit of gentlemanly conduct! I’m not playing with you anymore, brother!"
Finally softening her heart, the girl huffed and spared the innocent Feiya, giving up resistance.
"Just say it, brother, what do you want me to do?"
After packing up the game table, Anvis glanced at the girl who curled up on the couch, hugging her knees, sulking by herself like a big hamster.
In this posture, the girl’s tender body wrapped in white silk exuded a green, youthful charm.
You’re growing up indeed, White Princess of the Northern Territory.
Thinking of the girl’s once future devoid of smiles, a fleeting, somewhat melancholic, strange smile appeared on Anvis’s face and was then replaced by a regular smile.
"I hope you can learn a lesson from this incident, Fei. Don’t rush to conclusions before the battle is over, and don’t let yourself be in a situation without any fallback."
"And my request for you is: please read at least one hour of magic knowledge every day during your academy life."
"What?! But I don’t like reading those books full of tiny words! I think life as it is now is pretty good."
Upon hearing Anvis’s words, the girl exploded, finding the request utterly unreasonable!
"So, do you want to break your promise, my dear sister?"
"I... I get it, I’ll try."
After a silent standoff with Anvis’s gaze, the girl eventually couldn’t withstand the pressure and compromised,
After sending the girl back to her residence, Anvis returned in the direction of his own home.
However, halfway there, Anvis noticed a figure dressed in the academy’s uniform, wandering around the entrance of his residence as if lost.
He gave the figure a cursory glance and wasn’t overly concerned, preparing to enter his home directly.
"Excuse me, please wait, may I ask if you are Anvis, Lord Anvis Luo Olivendi?"
But upon seeing Anvis’s figure, the figure that resembled a student suddenly spoke up and called out his name.
"That’s right, may I ask who you are?"
Upon hearing this, Anvis looked at him with some confusion.
"Sorry for the late-night intrusion; to find you here, I had to resort to this strategy."
At those words, the figure raised an eyebrow, revealing a smile that seemed to have found its target, but did not immediately answer Anvis’ question.
"After all, it’s not easy to slip past the Mystery Lock Barrier here—"
"Slip past the Mystery Lock? Who on earth are you?!"
Anvis frowned, his gaze growing colder.
"Don’t be agitated, honorable Anvis, I’m just a Nameless pawn of the Second Rank. I was able to enter thanks to some ’kind-hearted people’ assisting me."
Noticing Anvis’ hostility, the figure chuckled exaggeratedly, flamboyantly spreading his arms and shrugging his shoulders, nonchalantly showing off his mere Second Rank strength.
"If you don’t mind, you may call me Zero—"
After hearing the self-introduction, Anvis nodded and glanced at the game panel floating beside him.
Player ID: Silver Blue Esports—Zero Charge (Zero)
Camp: Door in the Iris
Oh my God, such a familiar nickname and camp.
Seeing this ID, Anvis immediately understood who this person was.
A high-level gamer from Silver Blue Esports, a player legendary for plot-driven gameplay.
His most famous feat was navigating among the high-rank natives with the manpower and strength of his club.
Through negotiation, bribery, framing, threats, and other means, he gradually influenced every level of ruling class, eventually inciting a full-scale civil war within the Gloria Empire.
In a previous life, this person’s achievements caused a huge sensation on the forums. Many players couldn’t imagine that the large-scale faction conflicts they were undertaking were actually instigated by him alone.
Of course, due to one too many dazzling feats, and being a professional player of a club, his true identity was eventually exposed by others.
In fact, while Zero’s own gaming prowess should not be overlooked, the complete "Zero" is not just a single player, but also involves the entire plot research team of the Silver Blue Club.
The original Zero was actually a high school student obsessed with gaming, who even during his senior year, under the excuse of studying together, sneaked off to a classmate’s house to play games.
Soon, his unique style of play drew the attention of Silver Blue Club. After a simple evaluation, they decisively decided to bring this genius into their club.
Thus, Zero officially signed with Silver Blue Club, becoming a special professional player.
Enjoying the club’s high salary, manpower, information, and background research team, and operating independently from the club’s team.
At that time, he had not even taken his college entrance exams.
And according to the timeline, this person standing before him should still be in his senior year of high school, having just signed with Silver Blue not long ago.
Anvis scanned his game panel, where an individual message window opened, displaying various sorts of his own information, surprisingly quite comprehensive.
For instance, it documented his personality, surface strength, and control over forces such as the Secret Ceremony Society.
Anvis then glanced at his task module.
[Negotiation]: Persuade at least one Empire Marquis of the Gloria Empire to agree with other Marquis to seize the key relics before the Four Great Families, after the issues with the ruins are exposed.
[Investigate the Traitor]: Investigate whether there is a traitor within the Door in the Iris organization.
