Chapter 273: Chapter 48: The Dragon and the Banquet

“Silver, activate the Composite Detection Array, and fully scan its data.”

Watching the pale cyan, semi-transparent little ‘creature’ breaking out of its shell, Anvis casually instructed.

Although it looked like a living creature, in Anvis’s perception, it was just like the egg before, without any normal life fluctuations.

“Command accepted—”

The soft voice of Silver responded as multiple arrays on the walls of the incubation room lit up, casting various spell effects and detection ripples, continuously scanning the peculiar ‘little dragon’ in the center.

The little dragon showed no special reactions to the various detections, only reaching out several energy tentacles that floated around its body, connecting them to the energy supply array on the ground, continuing to absorb the provided magic power.

Suddenly, a series of data about its attributes appeared on the magic light screen in front of Anvis.

The body of this little dragon was similar to that of element creatures, with seventy-eight point six percent of its body composed of pure Wind Element.

The remaining part was an alien power with a unique vibration frequency not recorded in the information database.

And the results of the sonic detection revealed it was mostly incorporeal, only detectable crystalline ‘eggshell’ fragments were found.

Moreover, it was a Fifth Rank creature right upon hatching.

Watching the little dragon instinctively absorbing energy, Anvis began to consider how to deal with it.

Considering its origin, appearance, and the ability to directly absorb high-rank array energy immediately after birth, it had terrifying talent and potential for growth.

But in Anvis’s plans, he already had a special arrangement for his companion summoned creature’s place.

This unique elemental little dragon was indeed extraordinary, but it was only a juvenile and temporarily not of much help to him. Of course, as a special experimental subject and observation object, it was not bad.

Most importantly, Anvis had no understanding of this little dragon’s habits and abilities at the moment.

He didn’t know exactly how to nurture and feed it; simply providing energy was probably not enough.

Elemental creatures need to consume specific substances to grow and strengthen their powers normally. For example, Ice Elements need to supplement with magic-infused Eternal Frost, and Storm Elements need Thunder Pattern Stone Cores and Thunderstorm Crystals, etc.

Forget it, let it grow first, other matters can wait for later.

As Anvis was thinking, the little dragon within the magic barrier was unaware of its fate, merely watching him with its bright, star-like white eyes.

It had already stopped absorbing magic power and was curiously flying and hovering around within the barrier, observing this new world.

When its two pairs of elemental wings flapped, it seemed to create a special Magic Effect, manipulating a small space and propelling it to fly in a way similar to Instant Teleportation.

Thinking it over, Anvis didn’t deactivate the protection barrier yet but ordered Silver to continue observing and recording.

Meanwhile, he began experimenting by changing the magic attributes of the power-input array to see if the little dragon reacted to other elemental magic powers.

To Anvis’s surprise, this little dragon displayed high adaptability to different attributes of magic powers. It tried absorbing some of each type of elemental magic power.

And Silver’s scanning results also indicated that this absorption did not cause any adverse reactions in it.

Other than causing a change in the color of its body.

Currently, its body has merged into a dazzling light ball, with the central vortex even nearing a pure white color.

Anvis is somewhat worried that it might suddenly explode at any moment.

Meanwhile, in the experiment, the radiation force field of the Curse Ore seems to have some positive effects on it.

When Anvis introduced various Metal Ores into the Barrier Force Field, it appeared to have a particular fondness for the Green Luminous Crystal, grabbing and refusing to let go.

The detection report for Silver also indicates that the force field of the Green Luminous Crystal could increase the core frequency fluctuation a bit, a conclusion drawn after comparing changes before and after.

Having ordered a pile of Green Luminous Crystals to be placed in the hatching Array, Anvis left again, entrusting the task of feeding the young dragon entirely to Silver.

Feeding a summoning creature is not an overnight task, he has his own matters to handle.

.….….

That evening, a special gold-embossed invitation was delivered to Anvis by the Magic Messenger.

The content of the invitation was quite ordinary, inviting him to attend a nobility dinner two days later.

In the past, he would seldom participate in such social dinners, but this time was different.

The host of the dinner bears the surname Augustine, also known as the current master of the Empire.

Drumming his fingers rhythmically on the tabletop, Anvis thought for a while and decided to attend the dinner.

Although it is likely a trial for him, bearing the surname of Olivendi, he could not always hide.

Two days later, Anvis changed into a pure white evening suit specially tailored for him by the Family Chamber of Commerce, and rode a Magic carriage to the venue.

The dinner was located in the Upper City of the Royal Capital, a magnificent royal manor: Baderuo Manor, whose master is the initiator of this dinner, the Seventh Prince, Badero Augustine.

The dinner time was at eight o’clock in the evening, and by then, the manor was already full of various carriages.

Dozens of servants were busy in the garden, and faint sounds of violin and piano music were emanating from the louvered windows of the distant manor.

Led by the servants, Anvis entered the luxurious hall adorned with Crystals and gemstones, with the air filled with the fragrant aroma of herbs, and colors dazzling everywhere.

Although the dinner had not officially started, the snow-white long tables were already laden with various delicacies and wines rich in Magic Power, free for all guests to enjoy.

The arrival of Anvis caused a small stir, as most people here recognized him, or even if they had not met him in person, they knew his Identity through magical projections.

Soon, several young Nobles of the same age approached, attempting to converse with him, subtly complimenting him in their conversation.

Anvis easily handled the few, occasionally smiling and nodding his head in agreement with their points.

After all, this was not a gathering of the older generation of Nobles, but more of an inner college ball, relatively pure and free from too much scheming.

At the same time, he was discreetly keeping an eye on those around him, ready to respond to any potential probes at any moment.

The dinner was a good opportunity, putting himself in the shoes of a family enemy, he too would choose to arrange for some people to stage ‘accidents’ to probe at the dinner.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before some matters found their way to him.
