Capítulo 563: Chapter 81: Speculations on Anvis’s Secret

“What did you say?”

Upon hearing Evan’s words, Yalanis was momentarily stunned.

“I said, while I was being controlled by those strange things, I was able to perceive everything around me. But the reason I could do this is quite special, and it would be very difficult for others to replicate.”

After a moment of silence, Evan slowly began to speak.

“You should know about the time when I went missing for a while, and was later saved by our youngest brother.

On that island, I was subjected to a secret technique called the Destiny Parasite by the enemies. Even after the enemies who were masquerading as me were eliminated and the spell lifted automatically, a very special independent personality emerged in my mind.

I once considered getting rid of it, but it has entwined with my main consciousness in a peculiar bond of fate. It is me, and I am it.”

“Father and the family’s Eighth Rank Prophet have both checked my condition, but there is no way to resolve it. As long as my main consciousness exists, it can re-emerge.”

“According to the family’s Prophet, perhaps a prophet of Ninth Rank or higher would be able to solve my issue,” said Evan, shrugging.

“Luckily, the other personality is also completely under my control. Through some time of exploration, I’ve discovered that this independent personality seems to be able to protect me against many psychic control class magics.”

“Then that should be considered a good thing, right?”

Listening to Evan’s description, Yalanis raised an eyebrow and gave him a curious glance.

“Uh… well, perhaps,” Evan suddenly faltered, fell silent for a moment, and then skipped over the topic to something else.

“In any case, when I was attacked by the enemies earlier, at the last moment, I let my independent personality take over my body.

After being captured by the enemies, my other personality fell dormant, but my own consciousness remained awake. I couldn’t control my body, but I could sense everything happening around me.”

“That priest seemed to be using us to set up a special ritual. We were forced to form a circle around the altar, and something was flowing out from our bodies, absorbed by the green flames atop the altar.

I could feel that this thing was very important to us, but to struggle free would immediately draw enemy attention. I could only secretly prepare a spell, ready to attempt an escape via teleportation.

Until that person suddenly showed up, he used mass shrink on us and then placed us into a Sealing Box. I’m certain, in the very last moment as I was taken into the box, the priest and that mysterious person had a confrontation.”

Having said all this in one breath, Evan seemed to have dropped a burden, appearing much more relieved.

“This information is important, Evan. Instead of telling me here, you should report this to father. It might help with finding Anvis’s whereabouts,” Yalanis, after listening to Evan’s story, slightly frowned and expressed her thoughts straightforwardly.

“I appreciate your perspective, dear sister. In fact, on the day I was awakened, father had already thoroughly inquired about the entirety of this event from me.

I am telling you this because you were also a firsthand participant in this adventure and managed to hold on until rescue arrived. Perhaps you have some knowledge about Anvis that I am not aware of,” said Evan with a sigh, a touch of self-mockery in his smile.

“Ever since I was first saved by Anvis, I’ve had the feeling that our youngest brother is quite mysterious. Lots of things that I am unclear about happened during the escape from that island.

You haven’t been there, so you might not know how terrifying it is, but father probably knows something.

The island has now become Anvis’s private territory. I asked him about it, and he told me his people are conducting some magic experiments there, but he couldn’t disclose the details.

I’m guessing that maybe Anvis had some special encounters during that initial adventure. And perhaps that mysterious person is also related to Anvis.”

“You mean to say that the mysterious person is a subordinate of Anvis?”

Yalanis was momentarily stunned, somewhat incredulously recalling the situation at that time.

“I have seen that person; he had no aura whatsoever, but his combat power must be at least of the Ninth Rank, otherwise, it would have been impossible to force the priest to call back three dependents for support.

Among the three companions that Anvis brought along, two were foreigners, and the remaining one was a student under the Space-Time Ring, who also acted with us the whole time.”

“It’s not necessarily a subordinate, but that mysterious person must know Anvis, otherwise the appearance of the Sealing Box in Anvis’s ashes cannot be explained.”

Evan shook his head, voicing his own deductions.

“The other party himself, due to some factor, was probably inconvenient to appear, but he couldn’t just ignore those people he saved, so he wanted Anvis to rescue them on his behalf. This would also allow Anvis to gain gratitude from those he rescued.

Did you notice? Almost all of those rescued are people whose positions do not conflict with ours.

It’s just unexpected that Anvis also got attacked, but fortunately, there was no threat to his life.

Based on the scene at the time, our fourth brother should have some sort of life-saving secret technique, which could transfer consciousness to a backup body elsewhere at critical moments. Or maybe that was simply a special clone, and the original body never entered the Secret Realm.

It’s just not clear whether the fourth brother has not shown up yet due to an accident, or if he intentionally left the backup body in a place where nobody could find it.”

“I think your guess is probably correct, Evan. Including the family talisman, all of Anvis’s personal belongings were found in the ashes, which indeed resembles the outcome of a clone or stand-in disappearing.”

After listening to Evan’s analysis, Yalanis gently nodded in a sort of epiphany.

“Father has already set out in search of my fourth brother’s whereabouts, but since the family talisman he carried is not with him, it has been difficult to determine the location. But Mother mentioned, it’s very likely that Anvis has fallen into some corner of the Deep Dream World.”

“If that is the case, the credit for rescuing those people should go to Anvis, and I will pass those gifts to him later.”

As she spoke, the girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, nodding in thanks to the blue-haired youth at her side.

“Thank you for informing me, Brother Evan.”

“You’re welcome, and now, I won’t disturb you further, dear sister.”

Seeing the change in Yalanis, Evan nodded and then, just as when he had appeared, leisurely stood up and left.

With ice-blue eyes reflecting Evan’s departing figure, a strange flicker crossed Yalanis’s gaze.

For some reason, she always felt there was something peculiar about her second brother’s silhouette.

That serene and elegant demeanor, if swapped with long hair, would rather resemble a beautiful noble lady.

.….….

Outside, the commotion regarding the Radiant Secret Realm continued to spread.

As the people in the Secret Realm were rescued, the entire exploration ended. Numerous players flocked to the Olivendi Family’s Chamber of Commerce and such, demanding the promised rewards previously offered by Anvis.

The number of players was substantial; at least tens of thousands had witnessed Anvis issuing the Task during a live broadcast. If all were to be paid, this would indeed amount to an irrefutable sum.

After some deliberation, word eventually reached Duke Carrot, who was out searching for Anvis. The Duke, upon hearing of the situation, made a direct decision: give it to them.

However, since all those who survived the exploration of the Secret Realm profited, even Anvis himself was not rescued.

Thus, the cost of the rewards to be paid by the Olivendi Family must also be shared by other families.
