Chapter 408: Chapter 183: The Whereabouts of the Secret Treasure

With these thoughts in mind, King Leka VI couldn’t help but rub his temples again.

The young Prophet who had accompanied him from being a Prince to a King had recently disappeared. Although a few Prophets had come to offer their support lately, he did not place significant trust in them.

After a brief audience, Anvis decisively took his leave.

Originally, he had wanted to see if he could gain another bout of destiny feedback from His Highness the Sixth Prince.

However, according to the situation he had just glimpsed, King Leka VI’s destiny thread had almost turned into a battlefield, with at least three High Rank Prophets having made their moves on him, and a silent confrontation was already underway.

The young Prophet girl from before was a disciple of the Stargazer, who, after the Stargazer went into seclusion to heal injuries, was left alone to face the pressure of numerous eager High Rank Prophets, naturally, she could no longer sustain it.

After leaving, Anvis, with the ring in hand, arrived at the mountainous area to the west of Leka Kingdom that he had purchased.

At this moment, some surface vegetation had already been cleared, revealing the bare rock ground underneath, waiting for the subsequent construction.

This area was rich in Shanlong Rock, which was a very good construction material.

However, Anvis’s trip here was not just for the survey of the geographic environment.

The other end of Fidels’ Ring resonance was just in this area.

After flying back and forth nearby, Anvis carefully sensed the subtle directional changes from the ring and finally locked onto a location in the canyon.

There lay an ancient village ruin that had been dilapidated for many years; all wooden structures within the buildings had completely decayed, but the remaining rock foundations were still faintly visible.

As Anvis stepped among the remnants of the ruins, the ring suddenly emitted a faint red glow.

At the same time, a faint light spot lit up in Anvis’s line of sight.

The direction it indicated seemed to be in the center of this small town’s ruin, the largest piece of building debris.

After circling the weed-overgrown rubble heap, Anvis extended his hand and used detection magic to check the geological structure nearby.

Upon spotting some unusual objects, Anvis had a thought, and the ground slowly parted before him, revealing an Emperor Fidels’ stone statue that had been buried in the earth.

The Great Emperor’s hand was on his sword, his eyes closed, his posture as if he were brewing a thunderous strike.

Seeing this familiar stone statue, Anvis smiled.

Though he had not seen it firsthand, he had seen its photo on forums.

It was a Gate, as well as the guardian of the Secret Vault.

With the right hand that bore Fidels’ Ring held high, Anvis, unflinching, walked straight in front of the statue, gazing into its sealed eyes and allowing the faint light of Fidels’ Ring to envelop the statue.

Under this glow, the statue’s eyes slowly opened, as if coming alive, and stared at Anvis for a while, then suddenly brandished its sword as if to cleave Anvis into two!

To this, Anvis remained unflinching, merely watching the approaching sword blade calmly.

The next instant, a point of blue light suddenly appeared on the tip of the sword and quickly stretched into a blue line.

Struck by this blue line, Anvis’s form instantly vanished. Meanwhile, the statue in the outside world, as if it had finally completed its task, gradually turned to sand and dissipated.

And Anvis only felt a blur before his eyes, and when his vision cleared, he found himself inside a special subspace.

That sword just now was the test for entry. According to the explanations from a past life, if the bearer of the token is not a descendant of the Great Emperor’s bloodline, then that sword would turn into a true space slicer.

Anvis was able to pass the test as well, relying on the introduction from records of a previous life, using that leftover vial resembling the bloodline to construct a flesh clone, tricking the statue’s detection.

The high-level player squad that explored this place in a past life did not possess Anvis’s abilities. They tricked the statue’s detection by constructing a clone while using a high-rank, one-time-use mysterious object, and only then were they able to enter.

Moreover, the challenges inside the treasure vault were not just this one. They encompassed several aspects such as wisdom, courage, strength, and more.

In the heart of Emperor Fidels, if the descendants who reach this place do not even possess the ability to pass the challenges, then they are not qualified to inherit this treasure.

However, the Great Emperor himself probably did not anticipate that his bloodline would completely cease to exist in the future.

After entering, two black rock gates appeared before Anvis.

At the same time, the Fidels’ Ring on his hand lit up with a bright light, beginning to establish a connection with the entire treasure vault.

As a subspace fragment specially treated with magic for stability, the treasure vault itself is also a very valuable entity.

Once the connection is established, Anvis can freely enter and exit this place from other locations in the main world, without needing to go through the statue, using the ring as the key.

However, the ring’s connection halted after a brief moment, seemingly requiring more exploration of the map to increase its completion.

Following the guidance of the ring, Anvis entered the black gate on the right and began cracking one challenge after another in the vault, according to his memories.

.….….

While Anvis was exploring the secret treasure, on the side of the Gloria Empire, the arrangements he had left behind had begun to operate according to his will.

After the disappearance of ‘Fiona,’ many rushed to the Olivendi Family to offer gifts and condolences, while also inquiring about Anvis’s situation in passing.

The Ninth Prince and several others also sent letters, hoping to meet with Anvis remotely via the Crystal Ball.

Thus, according to Anvis’s message, Duke Carrot, stating that Anvis was in a secret realm and temporarily unable to make direct contact with the outside world, handed over an Image Capturing Crystal Ball prepared by Anvis to Prince Lanno,

In the Crystal Ball, Anvis answered several questions that Prince Lanno had posed in the letter, and subtly avoided the rest with ambiguous language.

At the same time, Anvis replied to a few letters from other descendants of the Four Great Families, whom he had some interactions with before.

Because these items were indeed written and recorded by Anvis himself, and previously preserved in the Space-Time Constant Box, even if checked with Prophecy Magic, there could be no discrepancies found.

One could only conclude that these items were indeed produced by Anvis and written not long ago.

As for why he knew what these people would ask… Prophecy Magic is just that useful.

Once it was confirmed that the one who returned to the castle was indeed the real ‘Anvis,’ a subtle undercurrent suddenly emerged among the higher-ups of the Gloria Empire.

Whether it was the Royal Family or the other Four Great Families, they all began dispatching Ninth Rank Professionals, unanimously searching for the missing ‘Fiona’ with great intensity, even more eagerly than the Olivendi Family who had lost her.

At the same time, at the top of the wanted list of all the major underground unions of the Empire, an anonymous high-value reward appeared: anyone who could provide valid clues related to the whereabouts of Fiona could claim a substantial and impressive bounty.
