Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes

It is somewhat regrettable that the array materials for this secret technique are temporarily missing, and Anvis can only wait for the Duke to swiftly resolve this matter.

In the subsequent days, though Fiona had already been sent back, the young girl would still occasionally visit him, sharing some amusing experiences she encountered in the Starfire Organization.

As Anvis's publicly known identity here is a high-level figure in the Embers, some members of the Starfire Organization had reservations about Fiona's actions, deeming such behavior as a display of insufficient loyalty.

However, under the handling of her teacher, these voices soon vanished without a trace.

According to Anvis's covert investigation, Fiona's teacher Brandy, seems to be a High Rank Mage from the Transformation School and a half-baked Prophet.

The so-called half-baked Prophet refers to one who originally lacks the Prophecy Talent but has forcibly learned some Prophecy Magic due to their High Rank power.

They are unable to utilize the Destiny Feedback Force like true Prophets, nor can they directly communicate with and manipulate the Net of Destiny. However, they can vaguely sense the development of certain events and achieve the effect of attracting fortune and avoiding disaster.

It is evident that her actions were likely motivated by sensing something unusual about Fiona and Vent among others.

Also, a few days later, the Spellcaster who stole the inheritance was found.

He had been hiding at the bottom of a canyon outside the city prior and, after acquiring the inheritance power, his strength had broken through to Eighth Rank.

Moreover, during this period, he had not been idle. The other three who had obtained fragments of the Stone Plate had been assassinated, and their places taken by his controlled subordinates.

The inheritance from the Star Cluster Civilization possesses an odd characteristic—broken inheritances automatically attract each other.

If one inheritor kills another, they can directly seize a portion of the inheritance from the victim until all inheritances unite into one.

Due to this characteristic, in the original history, the protagonist team, which had seized half of the inheritance, was chased and killed by the villainous Spellcaster, resulting in four deaths.

In the end, it was only after Vent gradually grew stronger and, with the help of various powers, was finally able to design a countermove to kill the great villain.

However, in this lifetime, after Fiona's chaotic intervention, the situation was reversed.

And, not long after Duke Carrot arrived, that Spellcaster was just about to make a move on Fiona, and one can imagine the outcome.

The gap between Ninth Rank and Eighth Rank is still too great. Although that Spellcaster managed to escape once using the bizarre spells from the inheritance, he was eventually turned into an ice stick and brought back by the Duke.

Thus, Fiona instantly obtained a large portion of the inheritance and another half of the key fragment, and both her and the Elemental Dragon Feiya's strength broke through to Sixth Rank.

Anvis also obtained the complete blueprint of the Star Realm Teleportation Array from Fiona's sharing, making escaping much more convenient.

After the Olivendi Family obtained this secret technique, they were also able to upgrade existing teleportation arrays and manufacture corresponding counter arrays based on its principles.

However, the Duke was somewhat troubled about how to handle Vent.

After all, being companions who once adventured with Fiona, directly killing him was never the best option. However, without gathering the entire inheritance, the girl's destiny burst state would not completely vanish.

Thus, after discussion, Fiona and Vent reached a deal.

The two copied the inherited memories they obtained and exchanged them with each other.

Meanwhile, Vent gifted the other half of the key to Fiona, while the Duke provided Vent with sufficient resources to break through to Seventh Rank under the guise of an anonymous Ninth Rank.

Ultimately, after confirming that the power of destiny within the girl had fully stabilized, the Duke prepared to take Fiona back to their family.

However, before parting, concerned about her brother's safety alone outdoors, the girl handed the now completely reassembled key to Anvis, hoping he would search for the so-called final weapon of the Star Cluster Civilization on her behalf.

'Before you come back, brother, if you find it, use it yourself. When you return, just bring it to me to play~'

These were the girl's exact words at the time.

Upon their return to the Empire, Anvis began to study how to use a pale blue Stone Plate engraved with fine, strange symbols, which he toyed with in his hands.

The complete Star Body Stone Plate is indeed the so-called key, and on this Stone Plate, he could sense a faint power of destiny.

For some reason, the builders of the remnants of the Star Cluster Civilization did not bury the so-called final weapon with the heritage relic. If he wanted to use this key, he would first need to locate the final weapon.

Theoretically, as long as one patiently waits for the power of destiny within the key to naturally accumulate to a certain degree, it would be able to guide the holder to the right direction.

However, as a High Rank Prophet, Anvis had other methods to deal with it.

.....

The brief tranquility of the Yiter Kingdom Federation lasted for about three months.

Afterward, as many small kingdoms near the Gray Iron Kingdom worried, several resistance organizations did not continue to consolidate territorial rule but repeated their old tricks and suddenly attacked many other nearby small kingdoms.

This time, the equipment of the Resistance Army became more formidable; even an army sent by a single organization could completely rout the kingdom guards.

However, due to the prior example of the Gray Iron Kingdom, the royal family members of these small kingdoms escaped to the three major kingdoms of the Federation immediately and were not captured by the Resistance Army.

They also sent representatives to the council for help, offering stern warnings to the newly appointed representative of the Gray Iron Kingdom, and hoped that the many Ninth Rank council members would take action to strictly punish these lawless bandits.

But at the discussion meeting, the council members had differing opinions, and arguments were quite intense.

Eventually, the proposal from the representatives of these small kingdoms requesting support was postponed to the next session of the Federation meeting for further discussion.

Also on the agenda to be discussed in the same session were the proposal by a representative of the Silver Moon Kingdom 400 years ago to implement a federation-wide currency, and one from a Bren Kingdom representative 1100 years ago to ban private research of forbidden knowledge in the kingdoms.

The occurrence of this situation is not entirely due to the low efficiency of the council, but also involves the power play among many Ninth Rank Professionals behind the scenes.

Previously, a speech by the councilman caused many Ninth Rank council members to change their views and decide to support the development of the Mechanical network.

With the council no longer a threat, the Prophet behind the Mechanical network was almost akin to stepping through the door to a breakthrough to Ninth Rank.

Once the scenario as described by the councilman materializes, with over eighty percent of the Federation's population becoming connectors to the Mechanical network.

Then, when the vast power from many Ninth Ranks converging in the Mechanical network launches that attack against the Sky Peak Barrier, the massive interference caused to the Continent Destiny Net would be enough to enable that Prophet to break through to the Ninth Rank.

Therefore, some people became anxious.
