Chapter 420 Golden Crystal

Chapter 420 Golden Crystal

Soon, with the development of all parties, the time came to the second half of the year, the Cold Star Month. (November)

Winter is approaching, and the cold wind sweeps the dry fallen leaves across the bluestone streets of Silver Moon City, making the pedestrians on the road unable to help but wrap their coats a little tighter.

The peddlers and newsboys were still shouting loudly, peddling their wares, and the wooden wheels of the magic carriage rumbled through the center of the road, raising a trail of dust.

At this time, the number of people in Silvermoon City increased a lot, and many of them were foreign travelers who came here to escape the war.

Compared to half a year ago, the current situation in the Federation has become more chaotic due to the deliberate indifference of many senior officials.

The effect of Anvis's previous sale of military equipment at low prices has now been partially revealed.

When several small kingdoms bought sufficient armaments at the lowest price, their neighboring countries had no choice but to hold their noses and buy a large number of equipment as well, which briefly formed an arms race.

This is a severe test for the kingdom's finances. Moreover, purchasing so many structures is not just for display purposes; the cost of maintenance and upkeep is also a considerable amount.

The tension between the many small kingdoms became more intense, and small-scale wars broke out from time to time on the borders.

Some larger kingdoms not only did not interfere, but even fanned the flames from behind the scenes, and the major construction guilds made huge profits from the war.

What made the situation worse was the appearance of players. A large group of players who wanted nothing more than to cause chaos were everywhere, causing the intensity of the friction to rise to a new level.

Disguising as an enemy assassin and carrying disposable high-powered props to assassinate the descendants of the kingdom's high-ranking officials are all routine operations for players.

The Federation's war storyline, which lasted for half a year, was very enjoyable for the players, allowing them to fully indulge in the fantasy war.

Among them, many large guilds and clubs have gathered people and gained more benefits by manipulating the direction of local wars.

"Teacher Vio, there's the latest news about my brother in the newspaper!"

The silver-haired girl, Leia, wearing a veil, came back to the store excitedly with a copy of the federal newspaper, her tone somewhat excited.

"Really, Leah, is there any new news in the newspaper? Please read it to me?"

Behind the counter, Avis was lying on a comfortable rocking chair with his face up, a cup of Silver Star juice with a straw suspended beside him, looking very comfortable.

Hearing the girl's voice, he didn't stand up, but just asked casually.

"Yes! The newspaper said that my brother escaped the search of the guards again, and his strength broke through the fourth level. It seems to be related to the help of the [Spark] resistance organization."

Leah nodded, walked to Avis, and began to read obediently.

“Also, the popularity of the Construct Network is increasing. The number of users has exceeded one million, and sales outlets are now officially spread across the entire Silver Moon Kingdom.

Truly every city in the kingdom will be able to buy a headband to access the network."

"Many members of parliament were suddenly assassinated by an unknown assassin. The assassin was extremely powerful and his real body has disappeared..."

Listening to the girl's news, Avis gradually began to think about the current situation.

Previously, after escaping, Landon seemed to have returned from afar once.

But when he saw that his sister Leah was safe, he did not risk contacting her. Instead, he quietly left a letter using magic to report his safety and inform her of the reason for his disappearance.

After receiving the letter, Leah's anxiety turned into worry, and she studied harder every day. She was originally just an ordinary civilian girl, and she didn't understand all kinds of knowledge about professionals. At most, she only knew some common sense.

But now, her brother has suddenly become the assassin who killed Earl Silver Leaf and is wanted by the entire kingdom.

This change in identity forced her to change accordingly and work hard to make herself stronger so as not to hold her brother back.

As a student, Leah was very smart and was able to quickly master the knowledge that Avis taught her.

After all, she is the younger sister of Landon, the son of destiny. Coupled with her special physique after recovering from the crystallization disease, if she were in the empire, her talent would be enough to be admitted to Pamir College.

While Leah was learning magic, Avis was also monitoring Landon's specific whereabouts through his own channels.

Although he was on the run, he did not encounter any serious danger due to his indomitable fighting spirit.

When there are a large number of enemies, use Freya's power to escape. In a one-on-one situation, get beaten first, and then burst out to win after being beaten half to death. If you still can't win, just break through in the battle.

Avis even doubted whether he could also level up through experience.

The most dangerous time was when Landon was chased by the enemies of Dark Crow and the guards of Silver Moon Kingdom at the same time. In the end, it was Landon who found a way to make both sides mistakenly think that the other was his accomplice, so he escaped.

Recently, Landon joined a famous resistance organization called Spark, and with the help of that organization, he temporarily avoided the official search by the Silver Moon Kingdom.

Yes, that was the Spark Organization that had suffered a series of attacks and had to flee from the Empire.

The chaotic situation in the Federation is the best soil for the development and growth of resistance organizations.

Although Spark was badly damaged, its foundation is still there. It has gradually developed in the Federation recently, absorbed a large number of new members, and has recovered a lot.

At the same time, a large-scale assassination of high-level professionals suddenly broke out in the Federation recently.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After the Empire's investigation, the specific identities and current locations of most members of the Gate of the Eye have been found out.

Therefore, the Zhenzhi Society gathered a number of ninth-level people and quickly launched a large-scale assassination operation.

The Door in the Eye was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Many members died, and the rest who survived were worried about their own safety and no longer cared about what was happening in the outside world, but instead stayed dormant.

After the girl finished reading, Avis nodded, took out a small wooden box from the ring, and signaled the girl to take it with his eyes.

"This is a little gift for you. Holding it in your hands while meditating should be of some help to you."

"This is……?"

Leah took the box curiously, opened it, and found a fist-sized crystal emitting a faint golden glow.

Looking at its halo, the girl suddenly felt that her mental strength seemed to increase a little bit.

"This crystal must be a very precious thing... Teacher gave it to me just like that."

Holding the crystal, Leah hesitated. Just looking at it could boost her mental strength, so this crystal must be a very precious treasure.

"Don't worry too much. Landon's strength has already broken through the fourth level. As my student, your strength cannot be pulled too far. It's better to give it to you. It should be of great help to you now."

Avis squinted his eyes and waved his hand, taking a sip of the silvery juice with an expression of nonchalance.

"And even if I kept it, it wouldn't do me any good except feeding the cat with it occasionally."

"H-Hey cat?"

Leah was stunned. She had never expected this kind of answer.

She still knows that cats are cute, fluffy and curious little animals.

But it is impossible to feed such a precious crystal to a cat... Even if we take a step back, will a cat really eat this kind of thing? . ….…. (End of this chapter)
