Chapter 15 Net and Fish

(Setting chapter, with summary at the end)

Sometimes, the more you know, the less happy you are.

Avis's eyes were focused as he quickly browsed through the new memories in his mind, his index finger tapping unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa.

Looking at history from a bystander's perspective is completely different from personally participating in history.

In his previous life, little Anvis was limited by his own perspective and could not see clearly what his family was facing.

But Anvis, who has a God's perspective, saw a suffocating message from his rough life.

That's a net!

A huge net woven by a dark hand hidden behind the scenes, covering the entire Olivendi family and even the entire Gloria Empire!

The powerful family was mired in conspiracy and irretrievably declined. Branches of the family, large and small, were either absorbed or uprooted.

The most terrifying thing is that the target of the Olivendi family is only a part of this big network!

Combining the game background information from his previous life, Avis already had some vague conclusions about the true identity of the enemy behind the scenes.

First of all, a ninth-level leader appeared in the rebel army, which was very unusual.

You know, in this age when legends are emerging, the ninth level who masters the power of rules is the highest level of strategic deterrence.

A group of ragtag rebels are not a help to the Ninth Order, but a burden.

After analyzing a large amount of plot, the story-streaming players of the previous life came to a conclusion: the so-called "chief of the resistance army" is probably not a specific ninth-level NPC, but a code name.

The leader of the rebels always appears in a black robe and mask. Behind this mask, it could be any ninth-level warrior.

This could well explain how the rebel leader, with his ordinary ninth-level strength, could defeat more than one ninth-level extreme powerhouse in a row.

Although treasures that conceal a ninth-level identity are rare, forces above a certain level can still obtain them.

In other words, the rebels are most likely just stand-ins pushed to the forefront, white gloves doing dirty work for a certain force. There may even be more than one force behind them.

Avis closed his eyes and sank back into the sofa.

When the family's high-level combat forces were attracted by the rebels and other aspects fell into a state of emptiness, a large number of family forces and industries were eroded by local forces.

The Alliance of Glory is behind all this, and I'm afraid they are also behind the rebels.

Also, the rebel construct army is abnormally strong.

Such a large quantity of high-level constructions would be difficult to provide even for the Itel Kingdom Federation, which has the most advanced construction technology.

There is only one force that is capable of providing it, the strategic partner of the Kingdom Federation and the birthplace of all construction technologies on the Yar continent: the Continental Magic Council.

Finally, there was that figure, a master of divine power that surpassed the ninth level. The Holy Light Church really thought highly of the Olivendi family...

The Alliance of Glory, a force composed of a large number of small and medium-sized nobles and wealthy businessmen in the empire, represents the emerging class of the Gloria Empire.

The Continental Magic Council, the magical sanctuary of the Yar Continent, has a very loose structure, but its members include 80% of the wizards in the entire continent, and it controls the supreme miracle magic creation - the floating city.

The Holy Light Church, the largest empire in the Yar Continent, the actual controller of the Holy Messiah Empire, and the only force behind which there is a legend that there is a true God.

After counting to this point, Avis had only one thought left in his mind -

There is no hope! Wait for death! Goodbye!

Avis could understand the goal of the Glorious Alliance.

The four major families have been in high esteem for thousands of years, occupying too many resources and territories, and the imperial class has become almost completely solidified.

If the middle and small nobles, who are the emerging class, want to rise to power, they must try every possible means to overthrow the old nobles headed by the four major families and divide up the territories and resources they occupy.

Avis could also understand why the Holy Light Church came to muddy the waters.

Among the three major empire-level forces on the continent, the Holy Messiah Empire was almost entirely established by the Holy Light Church, and the Itel Kingdom Federation also does not prohibit the Holy Light Church from spreading its doctrines.

Only the Gloria Empire, because of its hatred for the Holy Light Church's move to split the ancient magic empire, Emperor Gloria clearly announced at the founding of the country that all activities of the Holy Light Church within the empire were prohibited.

Although over thousands of years, as the situation in the empire changed, the enforcement of this rule has not been so strict.

However, allowing the Holy Light Church to build small churches in some remote areas is already the limit of what the empire can tolerate.

As a result, there have always been frictions between the two countries.

If the rebels support the Holy Light Church to preach openly in the territory at the cost of their support, then the Church will have the motivation to send strong men to disrupt the situation in the empire.

But the only thing Avis couldn't guess was the goal of the Continental Magic Council.

In other words, there is still some key information that little Anvis has not obtained in his previous life.

'Finally, the position of the imperial family is also worth pondering.'

At the end of the analysis, Avis sighed and felt a little tired.

After a complete analysis of the situation, he came to a conclusion: the current empire does not actually need the existence of the four major families.

When the Gloria Empire was first established, the ancestors of the four major families loyally assisted Emperor Gloria in pacifying the four directions, resisting foreign enemies, and making great military achievements.

In order to win the hearts of the people, the emperor appointed the heads of the four major families as hereditary grand dukes and made a solemn promise: no matter how large the final territory of the empire is, each of the four major families will obtain a province with an area of ​​one eighth of the empire as its hereditary territory!

The four major families have complete jurisdiction over the province's military, economy, justice, and social affairs, and only need to pay part of the taxes to the royal family every year.

You know, the territory directly controlled by the royal family is only about 2.2 eighths of the entire empire, which shows how important this promise is! However, with thousands of years of peaceful development, the local nobles headed by the four major families have become more and more powerful and are becoming more and more difficult to control.

Even the royal will is usually not fully implemented when it reaches the local level.

The marriage between the two families a hundred years ago had the implicit intention of checking and balancing the royal family, which made the relationship between the royal family and the aristocratic group even more tense.

Avis could understand why the royal family did not offer support when the family was besieged by the rebels.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

What he didn't understand was that even when the four major families were on the verge of falling apart and had to form an alliance to keep each other warm, the royal family never stepped forward to clean up the mess.

You have to know that no matter how fierce the fight between the royal family and local nobles was, it was still an internal fight among the nobles.

No matter how they fight, it is still a game among the upper echelons of the empire, and in the end the meat will still rot in the pot of the aristocracy.

The rebels are different, they represent another class from beginning to end.

Perhaps at the beginning, they could be seen as a knife in the hands of the new nobles. But in the later period, the forces behind them were too many and too complicated.

Watching them completely wipe out the four major families is actually not in the interests of the royal family at all. Gloria IV cannot fail to understand the principle of "the lips and the teeth are in danger".

Unless, the royal family has been distracted by something more important.

………

Avis pulled his short light blond hair in annoyance, his brows tightly knitted together.

Perhaps the little Anvis in his previous life had also sensed something. However, he was only a seventh-rank after all.

If the family is compared to a deep-sea monster caught in a tight net, then he can only be regarded as an insignificant Nottingham fish. ① Moreover, he cannot even tell this information to anyone for the time being, especially the Duke and the family leaders.

He couldn't explain the source of the information, and he didn't dare let anyone check his spiritual sea.

After venting for a while, Avis loosened his hair that had been made into a bird's nest, forced himself to change the direction of his thinking, and began to analyze the advantages he currently had.

Continuing to ponder the power of his enemies, he feared that he would not be able to withstand the pressure and would rearrange his material structure.

"Compared to my previous life, my biggest advantage is that I have mastered the rebirth memories of both the players and the natives! Before I interfere too much in the situation, the course of history will still develop along its original trajectory."

The Supreme Rainbow, the Perfect Blood, the Secret Treasure of the Lost Empire, the Mysterious Essence, the Infinite Grimoire of Heros...

These are the top rare resources that have not yet been born, the dusty treasures, and the epic magical artifacts.

As well as those fledgling, famous NPCs from various camps, the protagonists on the stage of the new era.

With the great advantage of foresight, they can all become my helpers! ①: Nottingham, a zero-level group-living water-attributed monster, often hundreds of thousands of them act together, and the size of an adult fish is generally no longer than a palm. .
