In the Gloria Empire, January is known as the month of rebirth,

The first day of the new month is a festival to celebrate the new year, known as the New Year's Day.

On that day, all taverns in the Empire will serve ale, thorn wine, and some other cheap drinks at half price in accordance with Gloria tradition.

After the New Year's Day, until the fifteenth day of the month, there is a fourteen-day prayer of the North Wind.

During this time, all the people of the Empire will pray to Kallast, the **** of the north wind, and look forward to a good harvest in the coming year.

During this period, major professional colleges will also usher in a 15-day holiday.

According to Gloria tradition, the interior of the academy is decorated with beautiful silver-leaf rose garlands and a floating ball of light that only exudes a colorful halo.

Tutors will not teach during this period, and students have been allowed to go home briefly to visit relatives.

Those students who choose to stay in school can also enjoy the rich and delicious delicacies specially provided for the festival during this wonderful time.

At this time, Anvis, who greeted the academy, finally returned to the Moonlin Castle in the Karras province after a long absence.

"Brother! Welcome back! May the north wind bless your footsteps!"

A gorgeous pale cyan dress with layered frills, long light blonde hair shining brightly, and a delicate and fair-faced girl like a doll ran to his side and greeted him warmly.

"Long time no see, dear Fei, may your path lead to light—"

Breathing the clear and cold air that is familiar to Yuelin Fort, Anvis smiled softly, and hugged the little girl who ran over to welcome him.

"Welcome home, Anvis—"

Behind the girl, Duke Carlot in a dress nodded to Anvis, and Duchess Elena in a long dress smiled and beckoned to him.

"Lord Father, Lord Mother!"

After hugging each other with their parents, Anvis politely greeted them both.

"Anvis, can you tell me what happened to you in the academy?"

Holding Anvis' hand, Fiona looked expectantly at the young man's pale and handsome profile, her big lake blue eyes blinking, her tone full of curiosity.

"My lovely little Anvis, is there anything uncomfortable in the life of the academy?"

Elena also looked at him with concern, and touched his cheek pitifully.

"Oh, poor boy, look at your face, it's thin—"

"Academy life is great, Mother. And my dear sister, if you don't mind, I can tell you later—"

Facing the enthusiasm of the two, Anvis was a little overwhelmed.

"After half an hour, come to my study and find me—"

Upon seeing this, Duke Carlot cast an understanding look at Anvis, and then left on his own. Leave this short time of reunion after a long absence, considerately to the two ladies.

After half an hour of magic, Butler Leonard led Anvis to the main study of Moonlin Castle.

Inside the study, Duke Carlot sat behind the heavy black dragon-blood wood desk, his figure facing the gate.

The morning sun poured into the towering arched windows, forming a sloping white misty beam that shrouded something in the Duke's hands.

A faint dark silver reflection was reflected in Anvis' blue eyes.

That's a key—

The handle is as long as the palm of a hand, without a hint of magic, and the handle is carved with a simple and simple arabesque pattern.

"Father-"

Facing the Duke, Anvis saluted respectfully.

"You came"

Carlot nodded slightly and motioned Anvis to wait a moment with his eyes.

At the same time, he glanced at Leonard.

The housekeeper immediately understood, and pressed one hand on the surface of the study door. After confirming the authority with his mental power, he activated the multiple isolation and protection circles in the study.

In these interlocking circles, this study has almost become an independent small space.

Maximize to ensure that whatever happens next, the impact is limited to a minimum.

After turning on the highest level of protection, Duke Carlot released the key in his hand and let it float in front of him.

Then, I don't know what the duke did.

A mysterious and unpredictable, as if a strange fragrance from a distant country, suddenly filled the air of the study.

The arabesque patterned surface of the spoon handle, the original dull and simple color, like the reverse of time, quickly began to fade away.

Underneath it was exposed, the beautiful silver-white color of the key's original metal material.

"Father, what is this?"

Looking at the peculiarly changing key, Anvis slowly asked Duke Carlot a question with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"As you can see, it's a key, and as for its inner nature...I can't tell you—"

For Anvis' doubts, Duke Carlot shook his head while staring at the key.

"Since getting it, two of the family's ninth-order limiters have specialized in it,

But after the fact, no firm conclusions were drawn about its use.

Judging from the shape of its key, its most likely use ~www.readwn.com~ should be to open the lock on something.

It may be a magic lock of a certain entity, or it may be a 'lock' of a completely conceptual nature. "

"But to us, it doesn't really matter what its original purpose was.

What's really important is the power essence that is attached to it!

"The family has done many experiments on it, but even the power of the rules of the ninth-order peak cannot wipe out even a trace of its power.

To be more precise, its essence is like an endlessly vast and complete world.

The power of the rules injected into it is also contained in it, rather than consuming each other. "

During the Duke's explanation to Anvis, the key change finally came to an end.

The splendid silver-white metallic luster completely replaced the original dullness, making the whole key seem like a brand-new casting.

When the color of the key finally stabilized, Duke Carlot reached out and held the key again.

At this moment, above the key in his hand, an indescribable feeling spread instantly.

It's like being in the dead and cold dark deep space, alone facing the dim stars in the endless distance.

Anvis suddenly felt that what he was facing did not seem to be a key, but an infinitely vast world.

In contrast, as an independent and insignificant individual, he appears extraordinarily ignorant and vulnerable.

"Anvis, take out the "Secret Book of the Old Days" and use your spiritual power to make it show its true form."

This is, Duke Carlot suddenly spoke, breaking the unusual atmosphere in the room—

"Okay, father."

When he came back to his senses, Anvis did as he was told.

The thick old secret scripture appeared in his hands, and the pages opened on their own.

On the dark green bizarre leather cover, amorphous black clumps appeared again.
