238: Chapter 13: Guardian of Fate 238: Chapter 13: Guardian of Fate With the aid of magic, it took about half a day for Anvis to completely relocate the arrangement of his original residence.

Including the underground laboratory, all his personal belongings were fully transferred to the new residence.

After the relocation was finished, a detailed investigation report about Roche was handed over to him by his family members.

The report, sourced from the family’s data archive, contained information such as the academy Roche had chosen and the level of his various talents, and even detailed what sort of serendipity he had encountered.

He was quite fortunate to have stumbled upon a small ancient ruin that had been accidentally exposed by a heavy rain in the wilderness, and from which he gained a significant advantage.

In reality, that ruin was a small secret vault of ancient civilization, storing some rare treasures, materials, and cultivation resources.

Due to the passage of many years, the vault’s door was damaged and out of repair, leading to the failure of its security module.

Utilizing some of the Moonlight Spring stored within, he successfully upgraded his magical talent to a level sufficient to enter Pamir Academy.

The specific location of this ruin was also recorded in the report.

After sharing this event with his grandmother, the experienced old lady immediately cautioned him:

This is your serendipitous fortune; do not reveal this to anyone until you’ve reached a certain level of strength, not even to your three sisters!

And never sell any items from the ruin to prevent being targeted by those with ulterior motives!

It must be said, Roche’s grandmother was a very wise old lady.

If Roche had really sold any item for money, chances are his secret would have been discovered long ago.

Losing the serendipity is a minor issue; the greater risk would likely be getting silenced by murder.

After flipping through the report, Anvis casually turned it into powder.

Could it be said that he truly is the Child of Destiny?

The power of destiny is reflected everywhere, sheltering him within.

With his own prophetic abilities in this life, Anvis could see this more clearly than anyone.

Destiny is supreme; because of the Net of Destiny, the threads of fate have a certain degree of corrective force.

To forcibly kill a Child of Destiny before their destined objectives are completed, one would need enough strength to break through the protective Destiny Power surrounding them.

For example, during combat, one might have the upper hand, but due to various accidents, fail to finish him off completely.

Or when driving him into a tight spot, it might instead lead to him obtaining a serendipitous advantage, resulting in a tremendous increase in strength.

But before you take that step, you first need to have the intention to kill him.

To harbor enmity against him, is to be the antagonist destined to encounter the Child of Destiny.

Under the arrangement of fate, usually, high-rank powers do not notice the Child of Destiny too soon, or although they notice, they opt not to act against the Child of Destiny for various reasons.

For instance, Roche, those capable of investigating his fortune do not value the items in the ruins, or they value Roche himself more and thus would not harm him.

Those who would care are unable to learn of Roche’s serendipity and cannot find the location of that ruin.

Anvis meets the first criterion, having sufficient ability to deal with Roche despite destiny’s interference, but he does not intend to harm Roche.

Because that does not align with his interests.

For Anvis, it would be favorable if Roche could become a high-rank leader of the Resistance Army just as he did in the previous life.

The high-rank position within the Resistance Army is not irreplaceable; without Roche, there’s Pei Qi.

It’s better to let Roche, whom he’s familiar with, take the position, making it easier to arrange for Roche’s growth experiences subtly and gradually.

Stove Fire Month, the tenth day, the Royal Capital, Palosia.

Anvis, accompanied by Fiona, was riding in a carriage arranged by the family on the wide, cobblestone streets of the Royal Capital.

Three days prior, he had received a rather favorable invitation, and it was a perfect opportunity to broaden his sister’s horizons.

Of course, it wasn’t one of those bizarre and odd Nobles’ gatherings, but rather an invitation from the Royal Capital Auction House.

This auction featured a finale item that he had some recollection of from his past life, and this time he conveniently planned to win it at the auction.

The streets were bustling with activity.

As the most prosperous super city in the entire Gloria Empire, the streets of the Royal Capital were bustling with carriages and horses, and the coming and going of merchants, mercenaries, and foreign races was endless.

With the advent of Mechanical technology, the emergence of infrastructures such as Mechanical Trains and Mechanical Locomotives, the prosperity of the Royal Capital climbed another step and began to shift towards a fusion of medieval and magical technological ambiance.

However, ever since the arrival of the Players, the atmosphere here has changed…

“Brother, there are so many foreigners here too!

Will they really help you with anything you ask for, as warmly as father said, as long as they can do it?”

Peering through the car window’s lifted golden silk curtains, Fiona looked at the peculiar Players all over the streets and was amazed.

“Yes, they are very enthusiastic, as long as you pay them enough…”

Recalling the things he did as a Player, Anvis found himself at a loss for words in front of Fiona’s pure and curious gaze.

If the two of them weren’t sitting in a carriage right now, they would probably have been surrounded by Players already.

Now it’s better.

Right after the Players first arrived, it was not uncommon to see many people standing in the middle of the road to stop the carriages.

There were even Players who stood directly on the Mechanical Train tracks, intercepting the moving trains.

…And then they would jump off the tracks a split second before being hit.

This behavior seriously affected the normal operation of the Mechanical Trains; under pressure from these reckless foreigners, the technology of the Mechanical Trains was upgraded once more, and all the train fronts were equipped with Strength Array modules.

Capable of maintaining a repulsion field within a certain range to bounce off any objects on the tracks ahead.

“…However, the vast majority of the foreigners don’t have any sense of honor.

When dealing with them, you must be very mindful of this.”

Suddenly thinking of something, Anvis quickly advised.

“What does it mean to have no sense of honor?”

Fiona, holding a cat, was somewhat puzzled.

“For example, suppose that while I’m not paying attention, you accidentally break the Ancient Elf Pottery I put in the room, and then you blame it on Kate.

If a foreigner sees this,”

“You offer them some reward to keep the secret, and they would readily agree.

But after receiving the reward, they would demand a higher payment, otherwise they would report to me.”

“After you pay them for the second time, they would go on to report to me, and then take a third payment.

Then they would come to me to ask if I need their service to punish you.”

“If I agree, then they would carry out my instructions and then come back for a fourth payment.”

Considering the methods developed by Players in forums in his past life to exploit tasks, Anvis gave an example after some thought.

“…??”

Blinking in disbelief, the girl’s innocent worldview was shaken at this moment.
