"Your Excellency, I don't understand what you mean."

Looking at the pendant in Anvis's hand, Langton shook his head with some doubts in his eyes.

"It's very simple, let's do a small test first, have you seen this amulet?"

With a mysterious smile, Anvis slowly stretched out his hand, motioning Langton to take the pendant in his hand.

"If I tell you now, if you activate this talisman, you will be able to break through to a high level in a short period of time and gain a power strong enough to control your own destiny. But as a price, the entire Federation will be caught in the flames of war."

"So, tell me, will you choose to activate it?"

"If you activate this amulet, you will gain power, and it will also cause the Federation to fall into war? But Your Excellency Vio, how is that possible?"

Holding the talisman, Langton looked at Anvis in confusion.

"Whether it really has those abilities is not important, Langdon, this is just a prerequisite I set for you. What really matters is the choice you make in your heart."

Smiling, Anvis spread his hands with a relaxed expression.

"You know, this is a world where magic and miracles exist. Langdon, if all of this is true, will you choose to activate this amulet?"

"I……"

Staring at the gray and inconspicuous amulet in his hand, which looked like a simple stone ornament, Langton unconsciously began to think about Anweis's "hypothesis".

One side is the power that can be easily obtained, while the other side is the price of the Federation falling into war.

"Your Excellency Wei Ao, I think...if it's true, I probably wouldn't choose to activate it."

After hesitating for a moment, Langton finally shook his head, preparing to hand the amulet back to Anvis.

"Why should you refuse? If you have strength, then when you encounter a similar situation before, you can keep your gains. Isn't that great?"

Walking in the direction of Leah's room, Anweis's tone was a little doubtful, and at the same time he waved his hand lightly, but did not immediately take the amulet in Langton's hand.

"I do want power,

However, if I want other innocent people to pay the price for me because of my own desires, that is not what I want. "

Langton shook his head, not quite agreeing with what Anweis said.

"Is that so?"

After listening to Langton's explanation, Anvis nodded slightly.

"Good, beautiful and extravagant qualities. Having such qualities is not a bad thing."

As he spoke, Anweis stared at Langdon, and his tone gradually became serious.

"However, I hope you can understand one thing, Langdon. Kindness is the privilege of the strong and the grave of the weak."

"Now, let's change the premise for the assumption just now. If next, there is a powerful enemy who is going to attack people around you, such as Leah or Freya.

You are not strong enough, and you have no time to ask for help, so you can only watch this happen. And activate this talisman, you will gain enough power to save them.

How would you choose if the cost remains the same? "

"I... But, they are currently under the protection of the Spark organization. If there is a crisis that even Mr. Leo and Mr. Jia Luo can't stop, no matter how strong I am."

Listening to Anweis' assumption, Langton's complexion suddenly fell into a struggle, instinctively unwilling to face this choice.

"The safety of the things you cherish cannot be placed on others."

Regarding Langton's evasion, Anweis shook his finger lightly.

"What if they go out in a hurry? What if they are also held back by a strong person of the same level?"

Seeing Langton struggling a bit, Anweis added more firewood to him.

"Now, let's add one more detail. The acquisition of the power of the talisman cannot be raised to the peak in an instant like fireworks, but it has to go through a relatively gradual process of power growth.

In other words, even if you choose to activate it again at a critical moment, you won't be able to immediately gain enough power to save your sister and little companion. At that time, what should you do? "

"...Your Excellency Wei Ao, why are you telling me this?"

Shaking his head vigorously, Langton stopped, and while instinctively avoiding his inner thoughts, he began to question Anvis' purpose.

Seeing the anxious Langton who was forced by him, Anvis laughed instead.

"I said this, what I want to tell you is, don't give up any opportunity to improve your strength."

"Some things and opportunities are irreversible. When they happen, they happen. If they are missed, they are missed. No matter how much you gain in the future, you will never be able to make up for it."

Taking the amulet back from Langton's hand casually, Anvis waved it in front of the boy's eyes.

"Indeed, choosing power always requires paying a price. But not choosing power also requires paying another price. That is to completely entrust the fate of yourself and the people you cherish to others!"

"I... seem to understand a little bit, Your Excellency Wei Ao. You are using this talisman as a metaphor to symbolize various situations that I may encounter in the future, and I need to pay a price to gain power."

Listening to Anweisi's earnest teaching like an elder, Langton nodded slightly.

"Actually, if that time really comes, I think I should still choose power. I just... blame myself for having such a thought at all costs."

"You don't have to blame yourself for wanting power, Langdon, because everyone is yearning for power. Only with a heart that yearns for strength all the time can you survive better in this cold world."

With a childish smile on his face, Anweis' tone became a little bewitching.

"Having power means that you control your own destiny and the fate of those you cherish. It means that you have the right to freely choose the way of life when you face the coming crisis.

Instead of being powerlessly involved in the tide of fate, drifting in it, or being forced to make some choices that go against your heart. "

Saying that, Anweis handed the talisman in his hand to Langton again.

"For example, this talisman, if I gave you another chance to choose now, what choice would you make?"

"Thank you very much for your teaching, Lord Vio, I understand!"

After listening to Anvis's words, Langton solemnly bowed to Anvis and thanked him sincerely.

Then, he took the amulet trembling slightly, looked at Anweis' encouraging eyes, took a deep breath, and directly activated the amulet in his hand.

A rainbow of light rushed to the sky, and then exploded instantly, forming a beautiful and huge silver-leaf rose.

"The new work I refined some time ago can release a magical firework that ignores obstacles. How is it, is it beautiful?"

Looking up at the continental web of fate fluctuating with the blooming fireworks in the sky, Anweis smiled brightly.

On the premise of knowing the function of the talisman, he still chose to activate it.

Then, the prerequisite for the ceremony is fulfilled.
