64: Chapter 64: Family Branch eting 64: Chapter 64: Family Branch eting In legend: ‘Naless King, relying on the light of the lantern, crossed the Endless Nether Sea and safely returned from the Life Forbidden Zone.’
As an epic item, its epic concept is ‘unhindered passage.’ Nothing can block its radiance, nor the person who possesses it.
Having left Emily’s stall, Anvis continued towards the Family Chamber of Comrce branch, pondering how to acquire that lantern.
Forceful seizure is futile; as a special High Rank illusion dream mysterious object, the true form of the Nightmare Lantern also resides within the Dream Realm.
Unless one is Eighth Rank or above, specializing in the Illusion Dream School of Spellcasters, one cannot even perceive it.
The normal way to acquire it is to wait for Emily’s Alchemy skills to improve, until she is able to perfectly recreate the Dream Realm’s lantern in reality and then find a way to obtain it from her hands.
At that mont, the original Nightmare Lantern in the Dream Realm will rge with the realized lantern, departing the Dream Realm to beco one with it in reality.
As a consequence, Emily can no longer create a second Nightmare Lantern.
But having thought it through, Anvis realized that neither of these were the best option currently.
The ‘Nightmare Lantern’ has appeared more than once in history, and it has been proven that each chosen suitable candidate is almost always a future powerhouse of the Illusion Dream School.
If one could receive aid from Emily in his future journey into the Dream World, it would be far more beneficial than simply obtaining the lantern.
Ironically, Anvis dares to approach an outsider like Emily for this matter, but dares not reveal a hint of his intentions to the family.
The decline of the Olivendi, is not only due to rebellion from subordinates but also from stabs in the back from distant rebellious relatives.
Having seen mories of his past life, he now finds himself unable to trust so of the high-ranked mbers within the family.
Anvis is very clear about his plans.
Which aspects can rely on the family power, and which absolutely cannot.
……
With no other incidents along the way, Anvis soon arrived at the trading area, where the Olivendi Chamber of Comrce branch was located.
Before arriving at the academy, he had specifically contacted through Leonard the steward, the head of the family chamber of comrce in Pamir, to prepare so supplies needed for his academy life.
The Olivendi branch is a tall tower-shaped building bearing the emblem of the Frost Crystal Bird, constructed with the sa materials used in the ancient architecture of the academy.
At the inception of Pamir Academy, the Four Great Families’ Chambers of Comrce had already settled here, boasting a history of thousands of years.
The interior space of the building utilized spatial extension techniques, decorated elegantly and luxuriously.
Many students in Pamir uniforms were purchasing necessary materials and equipnt in different sections.
The branch head had already received the ssage earlier and was waiting for Anvis’s arrival.
“Please follow , Mr.
Anvis.”
Upon seeing Anvis, the middle-aged man with blue hair in formal attire slightly bowed.
He then led Anvis through a short-distance Teleportation Array exclusively for VIPs into the top floor.
After entering the top-floor reception room, the branch head personally closed the door and then gave a deep bow.
“Honored Mr.
Anvis, the head of the Olivendi Chamber of Comrce at Pamir, Valen, is honored to serve you!”
“No need for such formality, Mr.
Valen.”
Sitting casually on a nearby sofa, Anvis smiled at the branch head, waiting for him to continue.
“These are the items that the steward ordered beforehand, which you need.”
Taking off a nondescript dark gray ring from his finger, the branch head respectfully handed it over to Anvis with both hands.
Anvis received the ring and slightly activated his spiritual power to inspect the items within.
The space inside the ring was about two cubic ters, containing Moonlight rcury, Heiss Gem, Secret Abyss Stone Heart, and various rare Alchemy and Spellcasting materials, as well as one hundred and fifty thousand Empire Coins.
Out of these, one hundred and forty thousand were in the form of Magic Crystal Cards, with the remaining ten thousand being physical coins, packed within one hundred money bags and stacked in a corner of the space.
These coins originated from Anvis’s chanical Factories and Chamber of Comrce; thanks to his foresight, these enterprises had seen rapid growth under his managent.
Currently, his Chamber of Comrce had already established a solid standing among various dium-sized Chambers of Comrce, generating close to eighty thousand Gold Coins in pure profit annually.
The scale of the two chanical Factories seed not to have changed much, but in reality, there was more than ets the eye.
Large quantities of raw materials required for high rank chanical constructions are shipped here, and under a series of operations, a large part of them are ‘consud’, but in reality, they are secretly stored deep beneath the factory.
“Not bad——”
After confirming everything was correct, Anvis put away his ring.
“Mr.
Anvis, if there are any other issues during your academy life, you may command at any ti,”
The person in charge bowed slightly, respectfully saying.
“Good.”
Anvis nodded slightly and took off the Mithril Codex that was hanging at his waist.
“Mr.
Valen, could you please fill this magic book with so spells?
Once it is filled, you can send it to my residence at the academy.
The list of spells to be filled is…”
….
Magic books are a unique kind of mage equipnt in this world, with their greatest feature being convenience in assisting spellcasting.
One simply needs to pre-enter the magic models into the book pages, and during use, fill it with magic power to quickly activate them.
One can even have others fill it with high-rank spells to achieve spellcasting beyond one’s own level.
Similar to a magic scroll bound together that can be used repeatedly.
After activation, the magic models will disappear and need to be re-entered.
…..
Having obtained the necessary items, Anvis left the Family Chamber of Comrce, re-boarded a floating disc, and left to ‘unexpectedly’ et the Orbins siblings later.
On the floating disc, Anvis casually took out an Empire coin, holding it in his hand to carefully observe and play with.
The Empire coin is about the size of a one-dollar coin, with an embossed side profile of Great Emperor Gloria on the front and a blooming Silver Leaf Rose on the back, thus also known as the Rose Coin or Empire Rose.
In the Empire, one Gold Coin can be exchanged for twenty silver coins, or two thousand copper coins.
A flick of his thumb caused the Gold Coin to produce a crisp, pleasant sound, spinning towards the sky, then falling back into his palm due to the force field.
Under the pure white sunlight, the coin surface shimred with a beautiful golden sheen, appearing unspeakably divine and adorable.
“It’s such a beautiful flower, especially when it is on a gold coin,”
After toying with it a bit, Anvis held the coin up to his eyes, and through his monocle, carefully examined the Mannish inscriptions on the coin’s edge.
Gloria, Eternal Radiance.
Co to think of it, this was only the second ti he had touched a gold coin in person.
During his ti with the Olivendi Family, other than during enlightennt classes where he encountered various currencies, there was never a need for gold coins.
Even if he occasionally went to Karlars City for leisure and shopping, paying was always the responsibility of the accompanying maid.
“Now, can I say sothing like ‘I co from a poor family; I’ve never handled money’?”
Anvis amusingly thought to himself.
……
“Sister, how many credits did you trade?”
In the trading area on the side of the Floating Disc Square, Orbins looked at his sister descending from the floating disc and asked straightforwardly.
“Oh, Albin!
That…
I…
I traded them all…”
Facing her brother’s sharp gaze, Shirley instinctively answered.
She also seed to feel her decision was a bit rash, and an unnatural expression surfaced on her adorable face.
“I knew it.”
Orbins’s face was expressionless, as he had anticipated his sister’s choice.
