...............................
In the two days after waking up from the coma, Lucius's life became unusually regular and simple.
Every morning, he would handle various official duties at Clovis's residence.
Iveliya would assist him, and the two of them worked together seamlessly.
At noon, he would go to the palace to visit Plotina.
Lucius sat beside the bed, gently holding her cold hand, telling her some interesting things about the outside world, and using his presence to bring her warmth and hope.
In the afternoon, he would go to the Berendil home.
From Nora, he can get encouragement and tenderness from his young girlfriend.
In the evening, it is the routine to feed the silverworm Xiaoai.
Alas, he is a master of time management.
At this moment, Lucius and Nora were in Plotina's bedroom, accompanying Her Royal Highness the Princess on her sickbed.
The atmosphere in the room was very warm. Although Plotina's face was still pale, she looked quite energetic with the company of Lucius and Nora.
Yes, Lucius informed Nora of Plotina's situation.
After learning about this, Nora was very worried.
After all, they were once good sisters. Even if there were misunderstandings and disputes, they would always let go of their grudges and show their kindness when the other party encountered a crisis.
Sisters are there after going through all the hardships, and a smile when they meet will put aside all grudges.
Nora and Plotina recalled the past times, talking to each other. The laughter and innocent pranks of the past came back to life in their mouths.
Lucius sat aside and listened quietly to their conversation, occasionally interjecting a few words.
Seeing the smiles on their faces, he felt much more relaxed.
At this moment, the communication crystal that Lucius carried with him suddenly vibrated.
This is a special communication signal from "Raven" and will only be used in extremely important situations.
Lucius' heart skipped a beat and a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
He knew that there could only be one reason why Raven contacted him at this time.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to deal with and I have to leave first."
Lucius stood up and apologized to Plotina and Nora.
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work."
Plotina smiled gently:
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine here."
Nora also gave Lucius a gentle hug and encouraged him:
"Don't worry, Brother Lucius, I will take care of Sister Plotina."
Lucius looked at them reluctantly, then turned and quickly left Plotina's bedroom.
............................
When Lucius returned home, he did not see Iveliya in the living room.
After asking the maid, I learned that Ivilia seemed to have a new direction for potion optimization today and was concentrating on research in the laboratory.
The six Raven members were already waiting in the reception room.
When they saw Lucius coming in, they immediately saluted him in unison:
"Master, we have lived up to your expectations and successfully collected the items you needed."
When six exquisite wooden boxes were presented to Lucius, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
The Echo of Fate was obtained on time, and his plan was half successful.
"well done."
Lucius nodded with satisfaction:
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Go and rest. I will take care of the next things myself."
After the ravens left, Lucius took out the three fragments he originally had from the storage magic.
Lucius gently placed the nine fragments on the table. They seemed to have life, began to attract each other, and slowly floated up.
The brilliant light like the stars flows between them, forming a miniature vortex.
"Om..."
A low humming sound was heard, and the remaining nine fragments of the Fateful Echo were forcibly summoned from all directions under the pull of resonance.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally, the eighteen fragments combined perfectly together to form a string of beads shrouded in mysterious light.
At this point, the fateful echo of the Supreme Heavenly Artifact has reappeared in the world!
As soon as he got the artifact, Lucius felt the majestic and surging power of the Supreme Heaven within it.
At the same time, a strange whisper echoed in his ears all the time:
"Chaos... destruction... rebirth..."
"The chess pieces of fate...an unpredictable stage..."
"The laughter of the future...the lament of the past..."
"You...she...they..."
These voices are simply a bombardment of spam information, trying to drag the holder's consciousness into a vortex of chaos.
The surprising thing is that amidst all this useless nonsense, there are bits of genuinely valuable information from time to time.
You can choose to block out this annoying noise, but that also means you'll miss out on some important intelligence.
So you just have to swallow your nausea and listen carefully to the whispers.
Bundling sales is a good idea.
It is hard to imagine how strong willpower is needed to wear this artifact for a long time.
Lucius held the Echo of Fate tightly in his hand, feeling the restless power of the Supreme Heaven within it, his eyes deep.
Surprisingly, not long after, Lucius once again split the Echo of Fate into independent individuals.
Lucius summoned the Raven members again and asked them to take away three of the fragments.
He instructed them to pretend to be private collectors and spread the news that they had accidentally obtained some "rare antique beads" and hoped to sell them to the right person.
He was like an experienced fisherman, patiently setting a nest with the echo of fate, waiting for the fish to fall into the trap.
Lucius knew that Tiberius would come.
.......................
Sure enough, just one day later, Tiberius came to visit.
"Lucius, excuse me."
Tiberius had a gentle smile on his face:
"I hope it doesn't affect your work."
"Your Highness Tiberius, how come you have time to come to me?"
Lucius pretended to be surprised:
"Please take a seat."
The two sat opposite each other in the reception room, seemingly in harmony.
"That's right, Lucius."
Tiberius cleared his throat, a sincere expression on his face:
"I heard you've been collecting some... special items lately."
"Special items?"
Lucius tilted his head, feigning confusion.
"Those little black beads."
Tiberius considered and said:
"You don't know, that thing is actually my mother's relic."
"Oh?"
Lucius took out a box from his storage magic, which contained six Fate Echo fragments.
"I have indeed collected some special items recently, but I never expected that they were actually relics of Her Majesty the Queen."
When Tiberius saw the six fragments, his eyes immediately lit up.
Although he tried hard to control his expression, Lucius still caught a flash of greed and excitement in his eyes.
"Lucius, I want to make a deal with you."
Tiberius took a deep breath, his voice became choked, and even tears appeared in his eyes:
"My mother's favorite thing when she was alive was that black bead necklace..."
"After she died, the necklace disappeared. I always thought it would never be found again..."
"Lucius, I know this request may be offensive, but I really hope to regain possession of my mother's belongings."
"If you are willing to give up, I am willing to pay any price."
Tiberius' acting is quite good, and his longing and yearning for his mother seem very sincere.
If Lucius hadn't known the truth beforehand, he might have been moved by his performance.
Hearing Tiberius' words, Lucius also showed a touching expression on his face.
He even took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he was really deeply moved by Tiberius's filial piety:
"Your Highness Tiberius, your filial piety is truly touching."
"To be honest, these things are just some collectibles for me. They are far less meaningful than they are to you..."
Tiberius felt disgusted when he saw Lucius's hypocritical appearance, but he had to cooperate on the surface.
Lucius's performance made him think that everything was developing in the direction he expected, even smoother than he imagined.
He had already imagined that Lucius would be moved by his filial piety and be willing to give him the fragment for free.
He had even prepared some polite words to thank Lucius and give him a small profit as a token of "friendship".
However, Lucius' next words instantly shattered his hopes -
"but......"
Lucius suddenly changed the subject, revealing a cunning smile, and said slowly:
"Since these things are so precious and are relics of Her Majesty the Queen, I cannot deal with them casually."
"What do you mean?"
Tiberius was a little puzzled.
"What I mean is, if I were to give away such a precious item casually, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Her Majesty the Queen?"
Lucius said seriously:
"So, if you really want to get these things, you must show corresponding sincerity."
Tiberius' heart sank immediately.
"You're right. We shouldn't deal with our mother's belongings lightly."
Tiberius suppressed his unhappiness and forced a smile:
"So, what price do you expect me to pay?"
Lucius pretended to think, and after a while he spoke:
