Chapter 423 Choice

Looking at this somewhat magical scene, Leah slightly widened her eyes, wanting to ask something but not daring to speak out.

"That was a magic contract between me and someone else. The time has just come, so I just cancelled it."

With a smile, Avis briefly explained what had just happened, and then glanced at the herbs in the girl's hand.

"However, this is not something you should pay attention to. Change a new dragon's breath grass and process it again until you can ensure successful completion of the process while being distracted."

Watching the girl continue to process the alchemical plant in her hand, Avis sat back in his seat, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, and began to think for a while.

Avis also has a certain understanding of the character of Her Majesty Vernica of the Ring of Time and Space.

The broken crystal on the pendant showed that Albins had contacted Vernika. And just like the development in the previous life, Vernika was very satisfied with him and even helped him to release the contract.

Due to the previous agreement between him and Albins, the latter is currently a guest of Olivendi. Although it is only in name, this has forced Vernika to reconsider.

Maybe Vernica herself doesn't care, but because of her identity as the president of the Continental Magic Council, she not only represents herself, but also represents the Continental Magic Council behind her.

If Albins had retained this status when he became her direct student, it would have been a signal to the outside world.

The Continental Magic Council showed goodwill to the Olivendi family.

It is impossible for Vernica to influence the Magic Council behind her because of her personal wishes.

Furthermore, when Anvis made the contract with Albinus, he used his personal identity instead of the Olivendi family's.

Therefore, [Ring of Time and Space] would most likely send someone to write him a letter. As for the specific content of the letter... Avis didn't even need to predict it, he could guess the general idea simply by guessing.

I just hope that he can agree to terminate the guest contract and maybe even promise to give me some generous rewards.

But unfortunately, what he wants now is not these. . ….….On the other side, in the pure white tower of the sky city Oraxian, a girl with black hair and silver eyes sat on the throne on the top floor of the tower, quietly reading the letter in her hand.

After a moment, she let go of the letter and let it fall from her fingers.

As it fell to the ground, the color of the letter paper began to darken rapidly and its texture became brittle, as if it had spanned countless years.

Finally, the letter completely turned into dust and merged into the rock the moment it touched the ground.

There is no problem with the letter itself, it was indeed written by Anvis himself recently.

However, the content of the letter was somewhat beyond her expectations.

In her letter to Avis, she did, as Avis guessed, express her hope to terminate the contract with Albins. And the reward was nothing but a chance for her to escape.

The request she made was not just based on her own identity.

The most important thing is, before he was seriously injured and went into seclusion, [Stargazer] Brents had already warned her and [Mystery Seeker] in advance: Do not have any relationship with the four major families of the Gloria Empire!

At the same time, she also mentioned in the letter that Albins owed Anvis a favor, and hoped that it could be written off.

As compensation, she could also agree to a request of his that was within her ability and did not harm the interests of the Magic Council.

As a ninth-level extreme, she had one chance to fight and one request, just to exchange for another Pamir student who was not even at the fourth level. Even for the descendants of the Olivendi family, this condition was already quite sincere.

Avis did not refuse her request. On the contrary, he expressed his deep gratitude and fear for the kindness of His Majesty the Ring of Time and Space in his reply.

At the same time, Anvis promised that he would take the initiative to terminate the contract with Albins, and would not require any cost, just as a gift to congratulate his friend on his soaring success.

Vernika stood up in silence, her gaze drifting into the distance.

The content of such a letter indicated that although the other party agreed to one of her requests, he was not prepared to accept her kindness.

In other words, this behavior means that the reason why Anvis terminated the contract was not for her own benefit, but was really for the future of Albins.

Even regarding the second request, Avis did not mention a word in his reply, and it was obvious that he did not want to agree to it.

In the heart of this little guy from the Olivendi family, his importance has reached this point? Even beyond my favor? Although she hit a soft nail, Vernica was not angry, but felt it was a bit ridiculous.

You're willing to reject a favor from a ninth-level peak expert just for a mere third-level spellcaster? "Okay, then let me see if your choice is correct."

Muttering to herself, Vernika took out a crystal ball, recorded the entire process of the incident, and then sent it to Albins.

No matter what Anvis thought, it was a good thing for her students to have such a friend. . ….….In the following days, some members of the parliament could no longer stand the war in the Federation. So they intervened and calmed down the major kingdoms of the Federation temporarily.

However, this approach is just a suppression and does not solve the fundamental problem.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Since Avis was selling constructs at almost a loss, many kingdoms thought they could get a bargain, so they invested huge amounts of money in purchasing constructs, preparing to rely on war to recover the costs.

If a small kingdom buys a large number of constructs, then even if its neighboring kingdoms were not prepared to buy constructs before, they will have to hold their noses and buy them together. Otherwise, if a war breaks out, they will be in a passive position.

But now due to the intervention of Parliament, the war has suddenly stopped, and these constructs have become hot potatoes.

Unlike magic weapons made through alchemy, complex magical constructs require maintenance.

Since cheap materials are used, even if it is left unused in a warehouse, it requires regular inspection and maintenance every year, and the worn and rusted parts must be replaced.

Although the price of finished products has dropped due to Anvis' influence, the maintenance cost has not dropped at all. In fact, the price of consumable parts has increased slightly due to the bankruptcy and change of business of many small assembly factories.

Many small kingdoms that had gritted their teeth and purchased the constructs were suddenly dumbfounded. Not only did they fail to recoup their investment in time, but they also had to bear a huge and painful maintenance fee every year.

As for selling some of them at a low price, some small kingdoms wanted to sell them at a low price, and through the pressure from each other, they pushed the price down to an extremely low level.

Even if some kingdoms cannot stand it and want to collude to raise the price, there are always some people in the black market who sell all kinds of structures in almost unlimited quantities at the price of broad-leaf lettuce.

The alliance collapsed soon after it was established, with the two parties suspecting that the other party was pretending to keep the price stable so that they could lower the price and run away. They fell into a cycle of mutual price-cutting again.

In the end, some kingdoms simply gritted their teeth and refused to sell, preparing to hold out for a few years, waiting until the parliament was no longer paying attention to the matter before resuming the war.

At the same time, in order to raise the maintenance fees for the next few years, these small kingdoms could only start to think of ways to mine high-value magic minerals within their territories, hunt high-value monsters, collect rare alchemical plants, etc., and then sell them in exchange for gold coins.

Of course, there is a simpler way besides this - increasing taxes.
