Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 337 - 112 Night Calling Stone Bell

"Also?"

Fiona, with her keen sense of hearing, caught the keyword in the girl’s words and asked back, puzzled.

"Yes, we just discovered a strange stone door exactly like this one when we were exploring the ruins of the Magic Great Library underground. Vivian stumbled upon it.

Feeling it was somewhat dangerous, and after a team discussion and vote, we ultimately chose not to explore inside."

A few students from Pamir Academy in the squad exchanged glances. A male student, with strength at the higher levels of Third Rank and temporarily acting as team captain, stepped forward to explain the current situation to the young girl.

"The door you discovered also suddenly appeared on the wall, right?"

"You too?"

Fiona slightly widened her lake-blue eyes and nodded in agreement.

"I did too, just now..."

As she spoke, the young girl instinctively glanced at Anvis. Seeing he didn’t stop her, she continued with relief.

"Just now when we checked this wall, the door suddenly appeared and automatically opened."

"It seems we have encountered the same situation,"

The blonde male student nodded in realization.

"I think, let’s leave this place to those teams of Fourth Rank and above to explore. We’re not planning to risk entering special areas; we’re just looking for some equipment and Rune Stones in the regular areas."

The members of the team nodded in agreement with his statement.

Unlike students from other ordinary Professional Colleges who would go to great lengths to find and trigger adventures, the majority of Pamir students prioritize ensuring their own safety above all else.

For them, as long as their life remains, at worst, they would just go home and inherit their families’ fortunes. Thus, their approach is generally conservative and cautious, rarely risking their lives for the possibility of an adventure.

"So, if you two don’t have anything else, we’ll take our leave first,"

After bowing slightly to Anvis and Fiona, the male student stepped back into his team, ready to leave in a different direction.

"Please wait a moment,"

At this juncture, Anvis, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, holding them back.

"Is there something else?"

Members of the squad and Fiona looked at him curiously, not understanding what he was going to do, except one whose expression suddenly became panicked, with eyes darting around evasively.

That was a petite girl at the end of the team, with long silver curly hair, holding an ivory Light Attribute Magic Wand, apparently responsible for healing and buffs in the team.

"...Vivian?"

Focusing on the silver-haired girl, Anvis slowly spoke the name her teammates had just called her by.

As her game panel was not kept open at all times, he hadn’t recognized her identity immediately.

Unlike professional and most frontline players, some casual players who prioritize an immersive experience often prefer to keep their panels closed during regular gameplay, opening it only when needed to glance at it.

"An-Anvis, hello—"

With everyone’s gaze on her, the young girl had no choice but to force a smile and greet Anvis.

"Vivian, do you know each other?"

The male team captain looked at the two of them, a bit confused about the situation.

"...we do indeed know each other."

And she owed him seventeen thousand Gold Coins.

Taking a deep breath, [Xia Ye Yinghuo], resigned to the situation, nodded slightly and walked out from the team.

She never expected to encounter her "new player guide NPC" in such a situation. At that moment, she just hoped that Anvis wouldn’t expose her non-Pamir student identity in front of everyone, which would be quite embarrassing.

After more than a month of real-time gameplay, she had come to understand just how special her game experience was, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to call her a Child of Destiny.

After several months of research by that old Mage, she didn’t receive any monetary rewards, as those had already been provided in the form of various permanent attribute-increasing Potions.

This was also the reason she could maintain the top position on the combat power rankings with only eight hours of gaming time during sleep.

After the research concluded, the old Mage even wanted to take her on as a student. So she quickly took advantage of the situation to become his apprentice, and added another impressive relationship to her character profile.

Mentor: [Secret Star Scholar]Sai the Star Chaser, Deputy Director of the Gloria Royal Magic Research Institute.

The reason she appeared in these ruins and tweaked her hair color and appearance was the task assigned by her bargain Mentor.

He had her pose as a student of Pamir Academy to freely explore the ruins and see if she could obtain any unexpected discoveries.

...Speaking of which, she hadn’t seen Anvis since he visited her at the research institute half a year ago.

But his face is still so charming![Drooling]

"Excuse me, everyone, could you lend her to me for a moment? It will only take a few minutes."

As Xia Ye Yinghuo was thinking about all sorts of things, Anvis smiled elegantly with his deep blue eyes turning towards the group and politely asked.

"Of course, you may! Your Excellency Anvis."

The male team leader looked at Vivian for her opinion, and seeing her nod, naturally did not obstruct the request.

In full view of everyone, the two only stood aside for a while, and then Vivian nodded and walked back to the group.

It was clear that they had just been communicating telepathically.

"Brother, what were you just talking about?"

As the group left, Fiona looked at Anvis with some curiosity.

"Nothing much, do you remember the mysterious island I explored during the new student month last year?

She is a fairly decent friend I met while exploring the island, who recently became a student of the [Secret Star Scholar], so I was just chatting with her about life at the research institute..."

He also took a glance at her quest panel while talking, assigned her a task to explore the ruins, and left an observation mark on her to see if there might be any other unexpected findings.

Anvis smiled and vaguely described what had just happened.

...

Meanwhile, Claire and Anvis’ avatar had already entered through that round door.

Since he was by Claire’s side, Anvis saw clearly that when Claire touched a brick on the wall, a ripple-like wave appeared on one side of the wall.

The strange door emerged directly from the ripple and opened on its own.

Unlike typical Pamir students, Claire had a wealth of experience encountering surprises in the ruins, had become accustomed to these strange phenomena, and was passionate about exploring.

Anvis, on the other hand, was completely prepared to use his avatar as cannon fodder, and if it had any chance of surviving until an adventure was triggered, all the better.

In his memory, the secret of this ruin was eventually triggered by a person known as Rein, the Child of Destiny.

Rein was the previous owner of the Golden Scepter that Anvis had obtained. After a series of saga-worthy adventures within the Empire, Rein encountered several companions on his journey.

They included an innocent and cute girl Elemental Master, an enchanting and mature Summoner, a sexy and gentle Knight big sister, and a mysterious and unpredictable Prophet girl, etc.

After one of the companions caught the fancy of a prodigal son of an Earl, Rein accidentally crippled the man in an argument, and while being pursued by the Earl’s men, stumbled into ruins and inadvertently activated a piece of Secret Treasure—the [Night Calling Stone Bell].

Anvis was uncertain whether that object was the one highly regarded by the Ninth Rankers at that time.

After all, he had only heard of its name in his previous life and was not clear on its actual purpose.

The latest message from the Duke, ’the ruins conceal secrets beyond the Ninth Rank’, had already been received by Anvis, but he was unsure whether the [Night Calling Stone Bell] had anything to do with the secret to breaking through the Ninth Rank.
