Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes

"Haha, of course not!"

The Duke was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Alright, Anvis, if that is your wish, I will not interfere.

Now, I am ready to take Fiona back, what about you? Would you like to come back with us?"

"I'm sorry, father, I still have some matters to deal with in the Federation and cannot return for the time being."

Anvis shook his head, his gaze briefly flicking to the young girl lightly holding his hand, his tone shifting.

"Also, father, I need to inform you about something. The Power of Destiny within Fiona is currently in an eruptive state.

You must be aware that Fiona is a Child of Destiny. This phenomenon means that she is currently in the midst of an adventure bestowed by destiny."

"Power of Destiny erupting?"

Upon hearing this, Duke Carrot involuntarily frowned, somewhat hesitant.

Although he is not a Prophet, but being Ninth Rank, he naturally understands what the eruption of the Power of Destiny for a Child of Destiny implies.

It can provide the Child of Destiny with various extraordinary encounters and benefits, much like the protagonist in a hero's tale, who can turn danger into safety as long as their power of destiny has not been exhausted.

However, Fiona is different from the typical Child of Destiny; whether she encounters these so-called adventures or not, it will not impact her future brilliance.

"...Even so, it is too dangerous to let her stay outside."

After a moment, the Duke still shook his head, not convinced by this reason.

"Father, even if you bring her back to the family now, anything could happen during the period when the Power of Destiny is erupting."

Despite the Duke's rejection, Anvis did not give up, but continued to analyze the situation for him.

"Just like the last time when, even though she was in the Family Secret Realm, she was suddenly teleported and went missing.

Even if you bring her back now, how can you ensure that no other accidents will happen to her?"

Seeing the Duke hesitating again, Anvis seized the moment.

"Therefore, I have a proposal. How about we wait until Fiona's current adventure is over, and then bring her back to the family?

This way, Fiona can receive a complete legacy, her strength can be further enhanced, and her state of eruptive Power of Destiny can come to an end.

Afterward, even if you bring her back to the family, she will not encounter other unexpected situations due to destiny for at least several years.

Regarding safety issues, since Fiona is in a state of erupting Power of Destiny, and with you here, father, the likelihood of problems arising in the short term is very small."

"Is that so?"

After listening to Anvis' analysis, Duke Carrot unconsciously stroked the Secret Gold Sleeve Buttons on his formal attire, sinking into deep thought again.

The longer Fiona stays outside, the greater the risk of her being discovered by enemies.

But what Anvis mentioned is indeed an issue; if similar situations happen again, it might be better to resolve this matter sooner rather than later.

Moreover, due to the previous actions of the True Knowledge Society, the Gate in the Pupils has suffered heavy losses and has now shrunk back, greatly reducing the level of threat.

"...Anvis, your suggestion indeed has some validity. So, let's do it this way!"

After hesitating for a moment, the Duke finally made a decision and prepared to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Previously, when Fiona used the Talisman to call him, he had already listened to the girl recount the situation once and had some understanding of the scenario.

"However, it might not be safe enough with just me here. Next, I will contact a Ninth Rank Limit from our family to assist."

After making up his mind, the Duke let go of his concerns. Ready to seek out the Spellcaster who stole the inheritance with thunderous momentum.

The items of the Olivendi Family are not so easy to tamper with.

"Also, father, regarding this matter, I previously discovered a clue that might be related."

Calmly taking out a decapitated crow from his ring, Anvis handed it to the Duke.

"This crow was being controlled by an unidentified Spellcaster and had been monitoring Fiona. I suspect it's related to that Spellcaster.

My strength is too weak to predict the outcome, but Father can use this as a medium for arranging the Family's High Rank Prophets to try predicting through it."

"...Alright."

Taking the crow, Duke Carrot looked at his unusually precocious child with a somewhat strange expression.

Staring into Anvis's deep blue eyes, he suddenly had an illusion as if everything had been arranged, just waiting for him to step in.

"However, Anvis, if you stay here alone, have you considered your safety? Do you need me to temporarily arrange some High Rank family guards for you?"

"My safety?"

Blinking his deep blue eyes, Anvis feigned surprise and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, father, but isn't 'I' already brought back to the Family Secret Realm from the academy overnight, now under the protection of several Family Ninth Rank guards?"

"Very well... Since that's the case, let's leave then. Here's a new family Talisman for you; remember to contact me immediately if something unexpected occurs."

Looking at Anvis's exaggerated expression, the Duke twitched his eyelid and no longer mentioned the matter. Taking a new Talisman, he handed it to Anvis and then prepared to leave with Fiona.

While the two were discussing, Fiona sat quietly to the side listening, petting the cat, unable to interject.

Although she didn't regret her choice, the girl still felt a hint of regret that her great adventure was about to end prematurely.

At this moment, seeing her father being persuaded by Anvis to actually concede and agree to let her complete the adventure,

The girl felt joyful and couldn't help but feel immense admiration for her brother once again.

"By the way, brother, this is for you!"

Suddenly remembering something, Fiona quickly took out a Crystal Ball she had prepared from her ring and handed it to Anvis.

"This is the inherited knowledge from that ruin, but I only obtained a part of it, and the content isn't complete."

"Thank you for sharing, Fiona."

Taking the Crystal Ball, Anvis gracefully held the girl's delicate little hand, gave it a light kiss, and then watched as the two departed.

Returning to his own spot, Anvis casually picked up a goblet, took a sip of the star-flecked fruit juice. His gaze seemed to penetrate the painted ceilings, seeing the Net of Destiny hanging high above.

Fiona's appearance was an interlude, adding hundreds of units of Destiny Feedback Power for him.

Due to Anvis's intervention, a certain unlucky Spellcaster had to face a far bigger attack than he could manage.

Even though the issue would have been resolved even without the Duke's involvement, his participation significantly reduced the consumption of her Destiny Power.

In return, Anvis received considerable Destiny feedback.

In addition, the inheritance of the Star Cluster Civilization that the girl gave him was also of great value.

Although the inheritance wasn't complete, some unique astrology secret skills and Ancient Magic Patterns from the Star Cluster Civilization were very helpful for the production of Magic-guided Mechanical devices under Anvis's command.

What pleasantly surprised him the most was the special Star Realm Teleportation Secret Technique included, along with the accompanying Ancient Magic Array.

The method of forcibly teleporting the girl out of the Family Secret Realm was related to the principles of that Secret Technique.
