Chapter 454 Control and Relics

The Man in the Mirror met Mrs. Mandel? And they even had afternoon tea together? Logically, as the leader of the Embers Organization, the people of the Glory Alliance should not be so friendly with him.

Putting this doubt in his heart for the time being, Gallo looked at Landon and the others and asked carefully about some details.

"So, you just said that when the venomous snake humiliated you, the mysterious person who was suspected to be the man in the mirror suddenly transmitted some kind of message to the venomous snake, so she changed her mind?"

"Yes, she asked me to retrieve a book from the ruins. According to her, its cover material is similar to skin, and there is an eyeball embedded in the center."

Landon nodded and described it in detail based on the information he heard at the time.

"...eyeballs, skin?"

After thinking carefully, Gallo finally shook his head.

"I will report this matter to the leader."

There was no way. As a professional from a commoner background, Gallo's knowledge level was far lower than those nobles. He also knew very little about the specific information of these legendary treasures left over from history.

However, although he didn't know, he knew who to go to.

Unlike him who relied entirely on chance encounters and experience to succeed, Chief Leo had studied at the Empire's advanced professional school, so he must know what it is.

"So, do you have any other news to report?"

"It's gone, Mr. Gallo."

Landon shook his head and respectfully took Freya away.

After leaving Garo's room, the roar of the Dark Crow was already deafening in his mind.

"That is Heros's Infinite Grimoire!! A ninth-order ultimate growth magic item! It is said to record all the secret knowledge in the world! It is because Heros was too low-key back then that not many people really know about this book. Otherwise, it would definitely have acquired the epic concept and become a truly epic item!"

"...Of course, it is also possible that Heros died too early, and as a result, he did not have time to spread his fame."

Muttering softly, Dark Crow's mental fluctuations once again turned into a roaring form.

"No matter what method you use, Landon, you must get it! It must belong to you!"

"Your Excellency Dark Crow... that was something that an eighth-rank expert specifically requested. And now the top leaders of the organization also know about this, maybe even the ninth-rank leader will be interested in it.

How can I get it in this situation?"

Feeling a little dizzy from the roar of the Dark Crow, Landon's face looked bitter and he also complained to the Dark Crow.

"...I don't care about that. If you want to become stronger as soon as possible and gain your own place in the upcoming chaotic world without leaving the fate of yourself and the people around you in the hands of others, then you must get it!"

Of course, Dark Crow actually knew that his request was a bit unreasonable.

So, after complaining again, he changed the subject.

"Indeed, your current strength is still a little weak. But for your current strength, I just happen to have a way to temporarily improve your strength for you."

As he spoke, a kind of fanatical emotion suddenly appeared in Dark Crow's mental fluctuations.

“When my original body was still alive, I discovered a new kind of alien power during an accidental experiment.

This power has very powerful characteristics. It can directly affect the soul and has extremely powerful destructive power on existing souls. I named it the power of apoptosis.

Do you remember the first trick I taught you, the Horror Gaze? That was the result of mobilizing a little bit of the lower power of the power of apoptosis."

With a friendly reminder, Dark Crow felt the surprise in Lanton's spirit and felt a little proud.

"Now, your strength has reached the fourth level. If you can master this power in a short period of time, it will at least enhance your ability to protect yourself."

"Will it be difficult to master this power?"

Landon asked uncertainly.

"Difficult? Hehehe..."

Sensing Landon's doubts, Dark Crow smiled oddly.

“If the person who learned this power was not you, but some other ordinary fourth-level person, then even if I give them another month, I don’t think they have any chance of mastering the power of apoptosis.

Even you, in a few days, can only use it a little bit. But even so, its power is enough for you to pose a threat to the sixth level."

"But wearing advanced constructs can also do that."

"Don't compare that idiotic toy with the power of apoptosis!"

Landon muttered to himself, and then was almost stunned by the roar of the Dark Crow.

On the other side, Gallo, who had learned the news, had already found the leader Leo and told him all the information that Landon had told him.

"...Okay, I understand."

After hearing the news told by Garo, Leo nodded, and in his heart he couldn't help but believe the information about the commander of the Second Embers Legion who wanted to surrender a little more.

If the leader of the Embers organization really betrayed them in the middle of the battle, then he would just be able to improvise and accept the other party's subordinates.

“The book you are talking about should be the Infinite Grimoire of Heros, which was made by Heros, the Speaker of the Ancient Magic Empire [The Source of All Laws].”

Not to mention the eighth level, even if I were the ninth level, I would be tempted by it."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Leo spoke slowly and gave some general knowledge to his right-hand man.

"However, it is still unclear how many people know this news. If too many people know it, then a war will surely break out."

"Of course, if this news is true, we will not give up. I will personally go out to prevent it from falling into the hands of other organizations."

"Also, Chief, I feel like there might be something wrong with the person in the mirror."

After thinking about it, Gallo mentioned it again with some concern.

"Don't worry, Gallo. I'm prepared. No matter what choice he makes, it won't be a threat to us."

When this was mentioned, a mysterious smile appeared on Leo's face.

"Remember, the night is over and the dawn is coming—"

"I understand, Chief!"

Seeing Leo's performance, Gallo suddenly gained confidence. . ….….A few days passed again, and Avis stood on a small hill on one side of the Milvila Basin, looking towards the basin from afar.

At this time, everything in the basin was normal.

Several teams of players were hunting monsters and chasing a fleeing Shadow Warthog, but they accidentally encountered a herd of pigs and were knocked over by them.

A caravan temporarily camped on one side of the basin. The guards and the men dispersed one after another. Some went hunting for the main course of lunch, while others rested and chatted around a small campfire.

Although it seems calm for the time being, the web of fate here has begun to form a vortex.

For Avis, this is not just a simple treasure hunt, but also a fuse that will eventually detonate the current powder keg situation in the Federation.

While other resistance groups were aggressively conquering cities during this period, the Embers were also attacking, but their advancement was relatively slow.

They are completely incomparable to Spark and Sunshine. Even the fourth-ranked Moon Clan has conquered more kingdoms than the Embers.

But Avis did not really do nothing. In fact, he moved from the open to the dark side and began to secretly control the top leaders of the major kingdoms.

His method of control is also very simple: either cooperate with him, sign a short-term master-slave contract, and become a subordinate member of the Ashes Organization, or die immediately.

In the future, when he issues an order, those who sign the contract must fully cooperate with the members of the Embers Organization to capture the royal capital and overthrow the original royal family. When the kingdom changes hands one month later, the contract will automatically end.

Passive resistance is impossible, the contract is mandatory, and the worst backlash is enough to make their souls collapse.

Since he did not directly attack the royal family of any country, those who were temporarily controlled by him did not show any abnormalities on the surface.

Under this operation, the number of kingdoms lost did not increase on the surface, but these small kingdoms that seemed to be normal on the surface could be occupied by Avis at any time.

Together with the small kingdoms that have been captured by other organizations, the number of kingdoms controlled by the rebels is enough to exceed 30% of the total.
