August 31st, morning.
On his last day before leaving Moon Castle, Duke Carrot summoned Anvis again.
"Father—"
In the study, Anvis placed his right hand over his chest, bowing respectfully to the Duke.
The Duke was previously reading a document, occasionally using a Magic Feather Pen to make some annotations on it.
After a minute or two, he placed the pen back into the crystal inkwell, his pale blue eyes gazing at Anvis. He casually brought up a question that quickened Anvis's heartbeat.
"I heard that yesterday, you crafted a growth-type Magic Artifact?"
"Yes, father, it is a Low Rank growth-type Mysterious Object. I plan to give it to Fiona as a farewell gift when I leave."
Unable to discern Duke's intentions in bringing up this matter, Anvis answered with slight caution.
"Being able to create a growth-type Mysterious Object at your age is commendable, Anvis. However, you must understand that a person's time and energy are ultimately limited."
