CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 156: TAKING THE INITIATIVE

In the room, after breaking away from the sudden state of prophecy, Anvis took a deep breath and began to analyze the content of the prophecy again.

Although Fiona seemed to be following that dark shadow, Anvis strangely felt that the shadow seemed to be coming for him.

Or rather, its target was not only Fiona.

Considering the terrifying oppression of the dark figure in the crisis prophecy, the strength of this unknown enemy is probably at least Ninth Rank or above.

Moreover, before the connection to the Ancient Secret Scripture, there was a strange Destiny Mist enveloping everything, making it so that even as a Seventh Rank Limit Prophet, he couldn’t see the prophecy clearly at first glance. This could only be possibly done by at least an Eighth Rank Prophet.

This is not something a general Ninth Rank could do. A Ninth Rank powerhouse plus an Eighth Rank Prophet, the forces capable of orchestrating such a spectacle, across the entire Yar Continent, can only be those true top-tier powers.

Although the true source of the threat is not yet certain, Anvis already has some suspicions in his heart.

Gloria Royal Family, Door of Pupils, Continent Magic Council, Holy Radiance Church Court, Federation Council...

There are only a few who could afford to employ a Prophet of Eighth Rank or above and have the confidence to deal with the aftermath and retaliation from the Olivendi Family.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to determine exactly where the enemy has reached and how much safety time they have left.

After calming down and analyzing the current situation, Anvis realized that the best approach would be to not run around and to immediately seek help from Duke Carrot.

The defenses of Pamir Academy are very strong, thanks to the Academy’s Glory Mystery Lock and the fact that there’s more than one Ninth Rank stationed there year-round. Even for a Ninth Rank Limit, a strong attack would be very difficult.

Hence, as long as they don’t leave the academy, the likelihood of encountering danger in the near future is very low.

Having decided on a course of action, Anvis immediately contacted Duke Carrot and explained what had happened.

Duke Carrot now places great importance on the prophetic scene described by Anvis.

In several incidents that have occurred previously, the outcomes have proven Anvis’s prophecies to be correct, and they have tangibly helped him avoid a life-and-death crisis.

Now, hearing from Anvis that he and Fiona might be facing a threat from an entity of Ninth Rank or above, the Duke pondered for a moment and then told Anvis and Fiona to stay put at the academy for the time being.

Meanwhile, he himself would immediately communicate with other Ninth Ranks in his family to hold an urgent discussion on how to ensure his and Fiona’s safety.

As Fiona’s safety was involved, after finishing the conversation with Anvis, Duke Carrot not only contacted the senior members of the Olivendi Family but also, in his own name, reached out to the Alfred Family.

After ensuring the accuracy of the information source, everyone began a very intense discussion on how to ensure Fiona’s safety.

Some suggested taking her back to the family’s Secret Realm to improve her strength until she breaks through to the Ninth Rank before letting her out.

Others suggested using Fiona as bait, deliberately letting her leave the academy to lure out the enemy’s Ninth Rank, and then ambushing with their own Ninth Rank to encircle and annihilate them.

The two factions argued endlessly, but in the end, the proactive attack faction prevailed.

One may escape the first day, but not the fifteenth.

If the enemy is determined to target Fiona, then even the most hidden and safe Secret Realm might be penetrated by the enemy.

Only by taking the initiative, confirming the enemy’s Identity, and fiercely cutting off the claw that the enemy stretches out can other lurking powers be deterred to the greatest extent.

Of course, the result is related to the fact that the number of Ninth Rank Limits supporting proactive attack is larger.

After determining the course of action, Duke Carrot contacted Anvis again and informed him of the news.

"I have consulted with other Ninth Rank members, Anvis. The final decision of the family is to take the initiative to strike, lure the enemy into appearing, and then capture or annihilate them depending on the situation."

In the crystal ball, Carrot gazed at Anvis and announced the final resolution.

"In the near future, find a way to take Fiona out of the academy once, try to lure out that unknown enemy you’ve prophesied about, and I along with the family’s Ninth Rank will be hidden nearby to protect you."

"Leave the academy once in the near future?"

After listening to the Duke’s words, Anvis nodded.

"Father, you must be aware of the incident where Fei previously obtained the fragment of the Star Body Stone Plate.

She just came to see me, wanting to gather the Stone Plates with Vent and the others during the academy’s next month break, to try and find the lost inheritance of the Star Body civilization, and she hoped I would explain this to you on her behalf.

Father, do you think this time would be suitable?"

"The mid-year festival? Yes, I and the other Lords will be concealed, ready to capture the enemy as soon as they appear."

After thinking it over, Duke Carrot nodded in agreement with the timing and outlined the specific actions to take.

Having ended the communication with the Duke, Anvis stowed away the crystal ball and fell into reminiscence.

In his past life, Fiona had likewise been kidnapped, but it happened much later than this life.

During that time, various resistance organizations and the Glory Alliance had already caused a huge uproar. Half of the Gloria Empire had fallen into their hands.

Though the family frantically searched, they were unable to find her until Duke Carrot died in battle and the Olivendi Family was on the verge of collapse.

In the end, she returned on her own, and what happened during that time remains a mystery to this day.

In this life, the resistance organizations have been held in check in advance due to Anvis’s involvement.

The forces behind them, such as the Door of Pupils and the Continent Magic Council, providing resource support for their unrest, have also faced the Empire’s sanctions.

It seems that the event of Fiona’s kidnapping has been significantly moved up in time?

Although puzzled by the changes in fate, Anvis still informed Fiona about the matter right away.

In order to hide his identity as a Prophet, he made a slight alteration in his explanation.

He changed his prophecy of an impending enemy attack to the Duke discovering hidden enemies and deciding to use them as bait to lure the enemies out.

As a result, her previous request to join Vent and the others in treasure hunting during the academy’s vacation had been approved by the Duke.

Although Fiona was puzzled as to why the enemy would target her, she didn’t question it.

With no concept of the incoming enemy, the young girl was not at all worried; instead, she was excited that her father had agreed to her going on an adventure during the holidays.

In her heart, with her father’s protection, she believed that no enemy could pose a threat to her.
