Chapter 387 - 162: Changes in the Situation
Within the Ancient Secret Scripture, Anvis watched everything in the outside world, his heart without any fluctuation.
The appearance of that column of light was an emergency alert he had pre-set in Silver.
The moment he left Fiona’s room involuntarily, that beam of light would be simultaneously triggered, activating the school’s Mystery Lock defense mechanism.
This would force the enemy to make a choice.
Whether to immediately escape with the important target ’Fiona’, or to take the risk of being discovered and besieged by a Ninth Rank Mage of the academy, forcefully making a move on another target, ’Anvis’.
The appearance of this column of light meant that his arrival had already been discovered.
Meanwhile, there are likely other defense measures inside the house.
It was a simple psychological trick: a 100% chance of getting eighty dollars, versus an 80% chance of getting a hundred dollars, most people would choose the former.
Anvis was gambling that after the confrontation, the attacking enemies, rather than persistently targeting another relatively less valuable target, would choose stability and leave with the highest value target, her.
In reality, he won the bet.
When they reappeared, the surroundings had changed to the primeval forest outside the school’s Mystery Lock and a desolate rust-red rocky mountain range.
Behind them, the enormous Mystery Lock of the academy suddenly fluctuated. A figure appeared in the moonlight instantaneously, a Ninth Rank Spellcasters’ immense spiritual power burst forth, sweeping across the entire area.
