62: Chapter 62: Academy Trading Area 62: Chapter 62: Academy Trading Area “Senior Pani, I have considered your proposal just now.”

After walking out of the task hall, Anvis smiled and looked at Pani.

“Just like the choice you made back then, I’ve also decided to trade with you for half.”

“Really?

Great!

Let’s make the trade now!”

Pani was taken aback, hurrying to take out his Identity Card, as if afraid that Anvis would change his mind.

You should know, fifty points of credit is not a small amount.

From the time Pani enrolled until now, after deducting the part he spent, he had accumulated only a meager 484 points of credit.

“Bring your Identity Card close and confirm the transfer with your spiritual power.”

Anvis nodded and did as Pani said, transferring the remaining 50 points of credit.

Perceiving the credits had been deposited, Pani directly took out two cards from his ring and handed them over to Anvis.

“The Magic Crystal Card of the White Rose Commerce Alliance, Silver Card with a balance of 1000 Gold Coins, Purple Card with a balance of 500 Gold Coins, redeemable at any branch of the alliance’s Chamber of Commerce.”

Anvis nodded and casually placed the two cards in his pocket.

As a reborn individual, he actually didn’t care much about these credits, and even less so about Gold Coins.

“The academy’s formal opening day is the fifteenth of this month.

There are no mandatory requirements for the course schedule.

As long as you can keep up with the pace, it doesn’t matter if you don’t attend classes.

In addition, aside from the courses of your chosen School, if you have enough time and energy, you can also freely choose to take courses from other Schools.

In these few days before the start of school, if there are any items you need to prepare, you can purchase them in the academy’s commercial area, where the White Rose Commerce Alliance also has a branch office.”

With the transaction completed, Pani became even more enthusiastic, leading Anvis around to familiarize him with the interior of the academy and detailing the things new students need to know, hoping to leave a good impression on each other.

Anvis also nodded frequently, expressing his gratitude for Pani’s kindness.

……

“Alright, Anvis, I should go back and wait for other new students.

How about we exchange Identity Seals?

It’ll make it easier to contact each other if needed.”

An hour of Magic Time later, Pani expressed his reluctance to leave.

“Of course, Senior Pani”

Anvis expressed his understanding.

After exchanging Identity Seals with each other, Pani boarded the large Floating Disc he came in on, while Anvis watched him fade away into a blur.

“So, what exactly did that phrase mean, coo?”

As Anvis watched the distant Floating Disc with the pigeon, the pigeon asked again.

“Pani has already explained the first half; allow me to briefly explain the latter half.”

Turning his gaze away, Anvis boarded a smaller Floating Disc and skillfully used his Identity Card to activate it, while answering the pigeon’s question in his mind.

“For Spellcasters, the Mysterious is not only a challenge to overcome but also the source of all curiosity and the desire to seek knowledge.”

“If one day, all Mysterious were to cease to exist in front of spellcasters.

It would mean that our path has come to an end.”

In the conversation between Anvis and the pigeon, the activated Floating Disc slowly rose, flying towards the direction of the trading market.

……

The academy’s commercial area is located more than ten kilometers away from the Mysterious and Relics Academy, on the northwest side of Pamir Academy, and consists of a plaza surrounded by commercial buildings.

Unlike other areas of the academy, the commercial area is open to Chambers of Commerce from all over the Empire, which only need to pay a large sum of Gold Coins annually to be established there.

The White Rose Commerce Alliance, Chambers of Commerce under the Four Great Families, and other large-scale Chambers of Commerce, all have branches here.

“What a novel yet nostalgic feeling.”

Stepping off the Floating Disc, Anvis felt somewhat sentimental.

New students at Pamir Academy enjoyed the privilege of five free uses of the Floating Disc.

After exceeding five uses, one would need to pay with academic credits to use it again.

The larger the Floating Disc, the more expensive the usage fee.

The price for a single-person Floating Disc was the lowest, at one credit for five uses.

“Next, I need to find a way to ‘accidentally meet’ the Orbins siblings in the trading district.”

With a mysterious smile, Anvis pulled out a thin silver chain from his chest, at the end of which hung a monocle framed with Mithril wire.

This was one of Anvis’s elaborate creations, a growing Magic Artifact recorded in the Mercury Prophecy Book: Mercury Eyes.

It was endowed with many extremely convenient abilities like True Vision, Arcane Vision, and Destiny Vision, and depending on the level of materials used in its crafting, its functionality had a certain degree of expandability.

Raising his hand, he placed it in front of his left eye and infused a trace of Magic Power into it.

The originally colorless lens suddenly lit up slightly, then transformed into a pure silver-white color.

In Anvis’s left eye, the appearance of the world suddenly shifted.

In a silver-white world, countless bizarre and dazzling lines of illusory destiny twinkled on and off in the air like stars.

In the distance of his gaze, there were also two exceptionally prominent and dazzling points of light moving slowly.

Taking advantage of the days spent together, Anvis had already quietly left a trace of Mercury on the two individuals – a type of Prophecy Skill seal that paired with the Mercury Eyes, with extremely strong concealment.

Unless they were also Prophets, professionals below Seventh Rank would have no perception of it.

The only drawback was that, with Anvis’s current strength, casting this spell required the consumption of the precious Moonlight Mercury.

The two seals were expensive, but worth it.

“Their locations are…

18 kilometers to the east, 31 kilometers to the southeast; seems like the directions of two separate branches, they haven’t come together yet.”

“Forget it, I’ll just wait a bit longer.”

After pondering for a moment, Anvis stopped the effects of the Mercury Eyes and then leisurely walked into the trading market.

The scene inside the trading district was bustling, with countless students in uniform coming and going.

There were also many students setting up stalls on a square to the side of the trading area, selling all kinds of rare and peculiar items.

“Ancient Potion, Mirene’s Tears!

Only thirty credits a bottle!

Significantly boosts spiritual power on first consumption!”

“Fourth Rank lesser dragon tendon, Fire Element, premium Magic Bowstring material, only a thousand Gold Coins!”

“Third Rank Mystic Ice Sword!

Only one available!

Exceptional quality!

First come, first served!”

“Thunder Pattern Stones, four for one credit!”

Some students vigorously promoted their merchandise, but many more students were simply quietly tending to their stalls, waiting for buyers to come.

……

Aimlessly wandering the trading area, Anvis looked enthusiastically at the goods on the many stalls without any hurry to head to the Family Chamber of Commerce sub-branch in the Pamir trading district.

Meanwhile, the Mercury Eyes had returned to their original appearance, looking like an ordinary Crystal monocle, completely inconspicuous.

As he looked on, Anvis felt a bit disappointed.

He had harbored a faint hope of encountering some hidden treasures, but so far, nothing had caught his eye.

The goods at most stalls were low-ranked potions, materials, and the like.

Occasionally, some peculiar items caught Anvis’s attention, but after careful consideration, he realized they were just valueless junk.

“Hmm?”

Before his patience was completely eroded, Anvis caught a glimpse of something in the corner of his eye, and his leisurely pace involuntarily slowed for a moment.
