Chapter 514 Purpose

Looking at this new twisted seed, Avis casually extended his mental tentacles and touched it.

Then, a large number of memory fragments returned along the tentacles connecting him to the Seed of Distortion.

The person who had hypnotized him seemed to be an important figure in the enemy. Avis obtained a lot of key information from the other party's memory.

She is an eighth-level spellcaster who specializes in the shadow and psychology schools. She was raised as a member of the Shadow Guard since she was young, and showed extraordinary talent in the process. She was personally brought up by Marquis Draka.

Like many professionals who walk in the dark, she has no name, only a unique code name: Shadow.

It was given to her personally by the Marquis, to whom she served. Before she was blessed with the greatness and glory of the gods, she always regarded this code name as her most precious thing.

Flipping through the deep memories in her heart, Anvis carefully searched for information related to the attack and the plan of Marquis Draka behind her.

Soon, a strange memory scene gradually formed in Anvis's mental space.

The environment of memory is in a quiet study. The air is calm with a faint smell of old paper.

The light in the environment seemed extremely dim, especially the area deep behind the desk in the study where the owner sat, which was completely shrouded in darkness.

What was very strange was that the dome of the study was covered by an endless dark space, while the walls of the study were composed of countless magical books that were quietly suspended in the dark space, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Surrounded by countless magical books, the owner of the perspective stood in the center of the study, bowing respectfully towards the main seat of the study, in the deep darkness.

"Mr. Marquis, as you ordered, the clues related to the ruins of the Sword of the Chosen King have been sent out, and the other party has not raised any suspicions—"

Shadow's voice seemed to touch something, and the thick darkness in front gradually faded, revealing the vague outline of a figure sitting on the throne.

Although he couldn't see Shadow's expression at the moment, Avis could feel that when the outline of the figure appeared, the woman code-named Shadow suddenly felt a strong sense of respect and admiration in her heart.

“…Currently, the expedition team has set out to explore the ruins. According to their comprehensive strength, they are expected to complete the exploration within seven to ten days and return with their gains.

I have arranged for someone to forge an identity and infiltrate the group, and monitor their actions at all times."

The corner of his eye secretly paid attention to the figure sitting in the darkness. Shadow kept reporting the achievements he had made in leading the Shadow Guard during this period of time.

"very good--"

A plain male voice that seemed to carry some kind of magic came from the deep darkness ahead.

Wherever the sound reached, the pages of countless magic books turned automatically without wind, as if catering to the will of the owner of the sound.

"After they bring out the clues, do we need to get rid of them secretly?"

There was also a flash of admiration in Shadow's eyes, but she immediately suppressed it and respectfully asked the figure's opinion on the next step.

"Get rid of it, and do it cleanly."

After a moment of silence, the figure in the darkness spoke slowly.

“If people from the four major families find them and use them as a medium to predict the future, it may cause us some trouble.”

"Your will, my lord!"

Nodding in understanding, Shadow stood up, but seemed to hesitate slightly before leaving.

"Anything else? Shadow?"

Seeing Shadow's posture, the figure in the darkness spoke again.

"I dare not! I will take my leave."

In response to the Marquis's question, Shadow hurriedly denied it and immediately said goodbye.

"...You want to ask why I should take action against the four major families of the empire at this time, right?"

But the human figure seemed to be able to see through the shadow's psychological activities.

"Your Excellency's choice must have a purpose. I dare not question it!"

Under the invisible pressure, Shadow's forehead was slightly sweaty. She bowed deeply to the figure in the main seat to express her submission.

"Oh, that's not necessary, Shadow. As my shadow, this is not something that needs to be kept secret..."

Looking at her posture, the figure sitting in the darkness chuckled.

"Actually..."

"Do I need to explain anything to her, Draka?"

But when he was about to say something, another voice suddenly came from the darkness.

Avis, who was 'eavesdropping', immediately recognized that this was the voice of Gray Mist.

"She is the executor. Only if she understands all this can she make the right decision immediately when faced with some emergencies, instead of reporting to me first and then making a choice."

After explaining it casually to Gray Mist, Marquis Draka continued talking without caring.

“It’s actually a very good time for us.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Since the founding of the Gloria Empire, the four major families have obtained four provinces as permanent fiefdoms due to their contributions in assisting the emperor.

But after the departure of Emperor Gloria, the four major families that had been able to develop smoothly for more than two thousand years also developed huge ambitions due to their profound foundation.

According to the original prediction, the situation in the four provinces of the empire should be somewhat chaotic due to the previous dark beast tide and the attack of the resistance organization "Spark".

After that, we can unite with the small and medium nobles to further erode them, and the royal family will definitely be happy to see it happen.

However, due to the accidental exposure of the bases of some organizations, the True Knowledge Society obtained a large number of clues and directly carried out a large-scale purge within the empire, which caused the entire operation to fail..."

As he spoke, Marquis Draka did not forget to satirize a certain force.

"And the sudden appearance of the Circle of Truth caused the Imperial Family to become extremely wary of the resistance organization, and directly destroyed the 'Spark' that was still developing in secret at the time. I'm afraid that the injury that Lord Draka suffered in the Sky City has not yet fully healed."

A faint voice came from the gray mist, and he replied without any courtesy.

“…In short, the four provinces that should have been in chaos a long time ago have been delayed for a long time by these accidents.

But now, the resistance organization 'Spark' that had previously fled from the Empire has gained its own kingdom in the Federation and even received the support of high-level prophets.

And now, since the war in the Federation has ended, they have arranged for people to secretly return to the Empire, seemingly preparing to do something.

The 'Glory Alliance' also promised to provide us with support. At present, some of the small and medium-sized nobles of the empire have secretly joined the other party. Once the four provinces are in chaos, it will also be an opportunity for them to take advantage of.

We don't even have to do it ourselves, as long as the four major families start to mess up, there will be people who will help us make the situation even more chaotic."

"…But, my lord, will these forces also pose a threat to us?"

After listening to Marquis Draca's explanation, Shadow tactfully expressed his own thoughts.

"They won't."

Marquis Draka smiled mysteriously.

"Because, those who truly guide the situation do not care about territory and wealth, but destiny—"

Hearing this, Avis instantly understood the cause of the current situation.

Unlike Shadow who seemed a little confused, he immediately figured out the key because he knew more information.

"Since the situation in the Federation has reached a stalemate, are these prophets ready to look for opportunities for breakthroughs from other aspects?"
