With that, Anvis made a gesture with his hand behind his back. The air in front of Fiona suddenly fluctuated, and a shimmering shadow appeared out of thin air.
First, it transformed into Fiona. Then, a scene of her being surrounded by the wilderness.
After reaching level one, Anvis could already use illusions to match his story with animation.
The girl was surprised. She reached out her hand and tried to touch the illusory Fiona, who was floating in the air, but her fingers passed through the illusion in vain.
“This is just a silent phantom, Fi.”
Anvis chuckled and shook his head, continuing his story.
“She ran around happily in the green fields. She would catch butterflies and pick wild flowers.”
“Then can she tell which butterflies and wildflowers are safe and which ones are dangerous if touched?”
Fiona looked at the illusion with her eyes wide open.
“Of course. She’s as smart and knowledgeable as you are.”
Anvis raised his pale, slender hand and lovingly stroked Fiona’s soft, light blond hair.
The young girl raised her head comfortably and revealed a satisfied expression. Her clear blue eyes narrowed into two lines.
“In the afternoon, the light of Seah became even more intense. The girl was a little tired, so she came to rest under a huge old willow tree by the lake.
Between several huge tree roots, the lush green grass made the ground extremely soft. She laid comfortably under the shade of the cool tree, the spots of sunlight shone on her body like bits of gold…”
“She must be very weak to be tired so soon. Wouldn’t she encounter danger during her afternoon nap in the wilderness?”
Fiona looked up at Anvis innocently.
“Of course, she’s not as strong as my cute sister, but she’s also an official mage.
After all, even a great mage would want to relax a little during such a comfortable and leisurely afternoon. ”
Anvis smiled and explained to the girl calmly.
“Oh! That makes sense. I feel sleepy every afternoon!”
Fiona nodded in agreement. She propped her white arms on the sofa and propped her ears up, concentrating on the story.
“While she was still in a daze, a huge white rabbit wearing a black suit with pink eyes ran past her.
She seemed to hear the rabbit muttering to itself, ‘Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I’m going to be late—’
As he spoke, the rabbit even took out a pocket watch from his suit’s pocket. He looked at the time and then hurried into the distant forest. ”
The figure of the rabbit appeared in the illusion in midair. It was wearing a tailcoat that was popular during Gloria the second’s reign and a black top hat.
At this moment, it was looking at a mini pocket watch.
“She must have encountered a mysterious phenomenon!”
Fiona stared at the illusion in the air and clenched her fists with excitement and curiosity, her hair radiating off a faint golden light.
This was a special effect obtained after her bloodline awakened. After her first rank, her two legendary bloodlines had completely awakened.
This caused her strength to soar and also brought about some minor changes to her appearance.
Under the effect of the awakened Radiant Paradise Bird bloodline, her hair was constantly emitting a faint light. When her emotions fluctuated, the brightness of the light would also change.
“And then? Did she catch that rabbit? I heard that the left back leg of this mysterious rabbit can be used to make a lucky charm! It can bring extraordinary luck to the wearer!”
Looking at Fiona’s excited eyes, Anvis smiled and continued.
“The girl jumped up, her sleepiness completely gone. However, the strange rabbit had already run far away. She quickly cast a Wind Walk spell on herself and chased after the rabbit closely.
During the pursuit, she had tried to tie the rabbit up with plant magic, use her telekinesis to trip the rabbit, and use earth magic to create a pit in front of the rabbit… But every time, the rabbit would use a strange method to avoid her.
In the end, the rabbit ran into the depths of the forest and under a massive Carolan banyan tree.
The girl was one step too late. She could only watch in vain as the rabbit ran into a huge hole between the tree roots. ”
In the illusion in front of the girl, the plot developed in sync with Anvis’ explanation. As the last ice shackle cast by Fiona missed, the rabbit successfully escaped the girl chasing after it.
“Oh—that’s a shame.”
Fiona shook her head as if she were the one who lost the rabbit.
“But she did not give up. She chased the rabbit into the hole!”
Anvis suddenly smiled wickedly.
“In the beginning, the rabbit hole extended downwards diagonally, but after she ran a few steps forward, the direction of the cave suddenly turned straight down!
Fiona, who was unable to stop in time, missed her footing and screamed as she fell into the dark cave! ”
Following Anvis’ description, the illusion in the air suddenly turned into a pitch-black cave, and then swallowed the girl on the sofa!
“Waah—!”
Fiona cried out in alarm, her little head instinctively shrinking back, her long pale gold hair shining like a light bulb.
The fragile illusion was instantly dispersed by magic power. The girl who regained her vision immediately raised her head and stared fiercely at the culprit beside her.
“But at the critical moment, she quickly activated the constant Feather Drop spell on the ring, allowing herself to slowly descend.
At the same time, she cast a Candlelight Spell and summoned a white ball of light. She controlled it to float below her and descend with her. ”
“I will use the light to disrupt the vision of the magical beasts below while illuminating the cave below to prevent myself from being ambushed when I’m unprepared.”
Anvis pretended not to notice the girl’s glare and created another illusion very naturally. He continued to tell the story and also gave the girl some general knowledge about exploring ruins.
Moreover, he deliberately ignored the young girl’s angry face and stroked her soft, glowing hair.
Wow, it felt amazing!
Fiona paused, her anger rising to new heights, but she couldn’t bear interrupting the story telling.
In the end, the young girl angrily lay back on the sofa again. She thought fiercely in her heart that she would not speak to the detestable Anvis for a day.
Yes! All day!
She swore in the name of her little kitten!
