Chapter 572: Chapter 90 Continent Situation
“What are you thinking about?”
After a somewhat strange glance at Emily, Anvis’s pink rabbit eyes met with the girl’s gaze.
“I need the Nightmare Lantern power inside of you, but you are not currently able to control it on your own, so I need to stimulate your body a little.
It might be a bit uncomfortable at first, just bear with it.”
After explaining, Anvis started to control his own Dream Power, invading Emily’s body and simulating the extraction of the Nightmare Lantern’s power from the girl.
Facing the strong external threat of stimulation, the Nightmare Lantern instinctively revived, and through its distant main body, a surge of power was transmitted, attempting to expel the force with Anvis’s trait that had entered Emily’s body.
During this process, Anvis directly intercepted a portion of the outside power belonging to the main body of the Nightmare Lantern.
Meanwhile, Anvis also tried to use this power as a medium to trace back to the location of the main body of the Nightmare Lantern, but, as expected, the attempt failed.
Before a host creates its main body, the Nightmare Lantern exists in a special state of nothingness within the Dream World.
Simply put, it is now just a conceptual force with no real physical entity.
Anvis called Emily over in order to re-establish a connection with the Main Material World.
Due to the special existence of the Nightmare Lantern itself, although Anvis can’t directly obtain the main body of the lantern, he can use its trait of directly connecting to the hosts on the Main Material Plane.
Feeling that he had gathered enough power, Anvis laid out a reverse summoning Array using the seized power as a foundation, and then using Emily’s consciousness as a medium, he started to search for Emily’s body in the Main Material Plane.
As planned by Anvis, the Array was successfully activated.
“I… I feel like I can sense my body in the Main Material World!”
At the moment of the magic’s success, Emily also experienced a special sense of connection.
Considering the monthly Gold Coins and resources she received, she suppressed the immediate urge to flee back to the Main Material Plane and honestly shared her feelings with Anvis.
“That’s normal, no need to rush, after I finish my matters, I’ll let you go back… and I won’t deduct your monthly resource allocation because of your disrespect,” said Anvis emotionlessly.
Sensing Emily’s thoughts, Anvis remained expressionless.
Even though the girl had added mental protection, it was actually of little use against Anvis.
Once a connection had been successfully established, Anvis started to perceive his several split selves in the Main Material Plane through this channel.
In fact, ever since Anvis had entered the Radiant Secret Realm, he had completely lost contact with his split selves in the outer world.
He had foreseen this and had made preparations in advance, arranging for his split selves, like ‘Mirror Man’ and ‘Head of the Black Ring Commerce,’ to take care of all affairs temporarily using reasons such as needing to retreat for cultivation or conducting a magical experiment.
The split self within the Radiant Secret Realm suddenly turning to ashes was a result of Anvis urgently dissolving the effect of the split self at the last moment before teleporting.
Otherwise, his split self would have lost consciousness right in front of everyone, and if examined by a Ninth Rank, a vast amount of information would have been exposed.
However, his earlier preparations were to get through the seven days he would spend exploring the Radiant Secret Realm, so the time arranged was only half a month.
But due to a series of unexpected events before, Anvis was no longer certain how long he would need to explore this place. If his alternate identities did not show up for too long, others might start to suspect that there was some kind of problem.
Now, he had to let his alternate identities reappear, to dispel the doubts of others and also find out what significant events had occurred on the Yar Continent since the disappearance of his original body.
.….….
Yiter Free Federation, Black Ring Commerce Alliance Headquarters.
In a quiet room three floors underground, the person in charge of the Black Ring Commerce, [Rafael], lying in a Magic Constant Box, calmly opened his eyes and sat up.
He looked towards a row of Magic Hourglasses placed beside him; at this moment, in the largest hourglass on the far left, thirteen purple gemstones had already fallen to the bottom.
“Has it already been thirteen days? Good, not too long. Just not sure if this passage of time is due to the abnormally rapid flow of time in the Deep Dream World, or the effects of that previous transdimensional transport.
However, as long as I continue to explore, I will soon be able to determine which factor it is.”
Without further thought, Anvis controlled his alternate identity to leave the Constant Box, reset all the hourglasses, and then headed towards the direction of the headquarters’ library.
“Master Rafael, has your cultivation session ended?”
At this moment, at the entrance of the library, a middle-aged man with a beard and a monocle was already waiting there.
He was named Gaffman, Anvis’s appointed deputy, and also the Vice President of the Black Ring Commerce.
Upon hearing the news of Anvis’s reappearance, he immediately put down what he was doing to hand over the work to Anvis.
When the figure of Anvis, dressed in a black suit, emerged from the stairwell, Gaffman promptly bowed respectfully.
“Gaffman, come in. Report on the operation of the commerce during this period. Also, has anything notable happened on the Continent while I was in retreat?”
Gently nodding to him, Anvis grasped the doorknob, unlocked the Magic Lock, opened the library door, and signaled for him to follow inside.
The interior space was vast, with a faint scent of cedar needles permeating the air and huge bookshelves surrounding the room, containing many masterpieces and Magic Books.
Although the tiers of books were not high, they gave off a very prestigious appearance.
Sitting down behind the spacious desk, Anvis looked towards Gaffman standing in front of him, gesturing for him to start his report.
“You have been in closed-door cultivation for a total of thirteen days and nine Magic Times. During this time, Black Ring Commerce operated smoothly with a revenue of about four hundred thousand Rose Gold Coins. There was no movement from other chambers within the alliance, but some small to medium sized businesses were found smuggling forbidden items.
During your retreat, an anomaly occurred in the Gloria Empire’s Radiant Secret Realm, with suspected followers of the Songxing Secret Sect disguising their identities to infiltrate the Secret Realm, attacking some Noble Explorers and attempting to set up unknown rituals within the Secret Realm.
Currently, the Empire is demanding Federation cooperation in purging the Songxing Secret Sect, but the Federation Council has temporarily shelved the matter. Moreover, some council members believe that we should secretly protect the Songxing Secret Sect to distract the Empire’s energy.”
“Furthermore, due to the emergence of a large number of anomalies on the Yar Continent, the leaders of the Three Great Empires have decided to hold a joint conference to discuss how to deal with the threats.
According to intelligence, Saint Messia’s Pope, Gloria Emperor, and Yiter Federation Chairman will attend this meeting, and the Magic Council Chairman Orvani will also participate as a special guest, but the specific time is not yet known.”
“At present, these are the situations that require attention. Here is some detailed information, including the entire process of the last Federation meeting.”
After the report, Gaffman took out a Crystal Ball and placed it on the table, then respectfully bowed his head.
