133: Chapter 133 Mirror Man 133: Chapter 133 Mirror Man Seeing Jom’s expression appear sowhat alert, Anvis smiled and gestured to the cloaked figure with a raised hand.
“Greetings, honorable Mirror Man your Excellency!”
Upon hearing this, Jom started in surprise, quickly withdrew his gaze, and respectfully saluted the figure in the cloak.
“…”
To his salute, the cloaked person had no response.
Jom himself wasn’t bothered by this, but rather thought it was to be expected.
Those Ninth Rank powerhouses who had mastered the strength of rules often had so unusual quirks.
Human forms and consciousness could no longer bind them.
So Ninth Rank who still cared about their appearance would maintain a seemingly normal form in daily life.
Others who didn’t care simply chose the most powerful and relaxed state of liberation.
Those who still maintained human form did so rely for convenience in life.
Shifting his gaze from the cloaked figure, Jom looked back to the noble youth in front of him with a gentle deanor, waiting for his instructions.
“Lord Jom, my brother Evan has returned from a journey a few days ago, and I am preparing to go to Fengjin City to visit him.”
“During this trip, his Excellency here will accompany you and .”
Without making him wait too long, Anvis revealed the reason for summoning him.
“I see.”
Jom nodded, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.
In this era where legends are scarce, traveling with a Ninth Rank powerhouse ant absolute safety.
“All right, Mirror Man your Excellency, Lord Jom, please follow .”
Having said that, Anvis stood up with a smile and walked to the side of the room, next to a tall bookcase holding a set of Mysticism tos.
Then he took out an ancient brass-colored key engraved with Secret Patterns, holding it with Mage’s Hand.
On the third shelf to the left, he lightly touched a thick, grey to titled “The Thirty-Six Star Regions of Mystical Star Patterns — Segnt Nine”.
The naplate emitted a faint light, and the color of the heavy grey to on the bookshelf suddenly dimd, turning as black as night.
Centered on it, the darkness spread quickly like ink spilled into a cup of water, covering the entire bookcase.
The deep darkness that covered the whole bookcase then brightened in the center with a silver light.
Soon, a silver-white Light Gate that rippled like water waves was completely ford within the darkness.
.….….
As a prosperous large city, Fengjin City’s City Lord Mansion had its own large-scale fixed Teleportation Array.
As long as one had the corresponding Teleportation Array core frequency, it was possible to link to the opposite array and thus open a teleportation gate.
Today, the teleportation array that hadn’t been activated since the Lord left suddenly lit up.
Accompanied by the radiance of the teleportation magic, three figures of different appearances appeared within the teleportation array.
A noble youth in pure white noble attire wearing a monocle; a lifeless figure enshrouded in a cloak black as night; a Frostwind Knight clad in Magic Rune Armor.
“Who goes there?
Would you gentlen please reveal your identities!”
Seeing the long-unseen teleportation radiance, the guards stationed in the teleportation tower of Fengjin City tensed up and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
Lord Evan had just returned, and not many had received the news yet.
Those arriving at this mont were likely to have no simple identities.
“This is a Ninth Rank Excellency from the Olivendi Family, whose identity cannot be disclosed!
The other is Lord Anvis, the sibling brother of Lord Evan!
I am a guard of Lord Anvis.”
Jom took a proactive step forward and replied in a deep voice.
“I apologize, three esteed gentlen!
It was my duty, please forgive my earlier disrespect!”
The guard was taken aback and hastily bowed to the three with respect.
“There’s no need to fuss; I heard brother Evan has returned a few days ago, may I ask you to lead the way for us?”
With a gentle smile on his face, Anvis politely asked.
Such elegant and noble deanor made the guard inwardly concede.
“Lord Evan has indeed returned and has been resting at the City Lord Mansion in recent days, please follow .”
With another respectful bow to the three, the guard knocked on the magic bell, called for another guard to take over the post temporarily, and then led the trio towards the City Lord Mansion.
At the sa ti, a secret Magical Eye hidden at the top of the tower had silently transmitted every scene occurring within the Teleportation Tower.
.….….
Elsewhere, in the study of the Fengjin City City Lord Mansion.
Evan Olivendi silently stared at the Magic Crystal Ball in front of him, his eyes deep, pondering over sothing.
At this mont, the scene reflected in the crystal ball was of several people exiting the Teleportation Tower.
Playing with a phantom-purple gemstone inscribed with black secret patterns, Evan’s gaze followed the figure in the black robe closely.
At the sa ti, his facial expression flickered, as if contemplating a certain response.
When he saw the guard temporarily switch duties and lead the three towards the City Lord Mansion, Evan’s breathing tightened, and the movents between his fingers beca even more frantic and frequent.
As his fingers moved, the perfectly cut secret-patterned gem twirled quickly between them.
The shifting purple luminescence rged into a halo, as if it were so sort of magical effect.
Just as Evan was about to make so decision, he suddenly noticed—the Ninth Rank black-robed Guest Elder from the Olivendi Family had instantly turned into a shadow and departed upon stepping out of the Teleportation Tower.
After seeing this, he dropped the gemstone from his hand as if electrocuted, letting out a relieved sigh as his whole body relaxed.
.….….
In the Lower City District of Fengjin City, a winding and secluded naless alley.
Sunlight was blocked by the surrounding towering buildings, making the environnt damp and dark, with traces of rainwater erosion all over the thick walls, like an old man who has weathered the vicissitudes of life, silently holding the city’s shadows.
Alleys like this are commonplace in the lower districts of every major city.
They are naless, and often hotbeds of criminal activity.
If unnecessary, few people would usually pass through these places on an ordinary day.
At this mont, deep in the alley, in a corner overgrown with mottled moss.
The faint shadow cast by the base of the wall suddenly began to darken rapidly.
A pitch-black shadow, like flowing water, surged out from the corner’s shadow.
Eventually, the shadow gathered into a mass and ford a slender figure wrapped in a dark cloak with its face hidden in the shadows.
After completely separating from the shadow state, the figure quickly scanned the surroundings and confird there was no threat.
Then, he turned towards the direction of the City Lord Mansion, silent and unspoken.
The distance to the City Lord Mansion from here was just under ten kiloters, with few people around, making it quite convenient to do whatever one intended.
Yes, this so-called ‘Ninth Rank Guest Elder of the Olivendi Family’ was in fact Anvis using the Flesh Control and the Ancient Majesty techniques to impersonate.
