After swiftly resolving the matter, Anvis returned to his usual peaceful routine.
Aside from checking on Yanile Bishop's situation each day, he simply waited for the duke to finish dealing with that Force Dragon.
Before long, as Pamir Academy's year-end celebratory magic banquet quietly came to an end, the final remnants of the year were about to fade away as well.
Less than one Magic Hour remained until midnight. After seeing Fiona off, Anvis returned to his residence and habitually sensed Yanile's movements.
However, the moment he detected Yanile's location, he immediately realized something was wrong.
Previously, the Twisted Seed's position on Yanile had remained at the border between the Gloria Empire and the Saint Messiah Empire, as though he were waiting for something.
But now, Yanile had suddenly appeared near the ruins in Magna Province.
After considering it, Anvis took out an encrypted Crystal Ball and sent Duke Carlot a message.
"I suddenly have a feeling that an unforeseen change may be about to occur at the Fallen Star Remains. Please remain on high alert!"
After urgently sending the message, Anvis put away the Crystal Ball again. After some thought, he decided to take a temporary risk and connect to the Seed on Yanile.
This was an especially delicate moment. The old year was about to end, and the new year was about to begin.
At the transition between old and new, the success rate of certain special Secret Art Rituals received an additional boost. This was a fact definitively confirmed in Occultism.
Anvis suspected that the Rituals on Yanile and the other six had not fully concluded, but still lacked certain crucial activation steps.
If the truth was indeed as he suspected, then the most likely time for that activation step would be midnight on New Year's Day.
