After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 767: Probing and Arms Trade
When Anvis learned about the situation of the Aslade family, his first reaction was that the head of the Aslade family was crazy. There was no concealment of this matter at all.
However, after learning more about the secrets, Anvis finally gradually understood that the Aslade family's style of doing things seemed to be like this. Overbearing, arrogant, and disdainful of red tape.
They carry the blood of the golden dragon, have always believed that their species is superior to ordinary humans, and believe in the supremacy of power.
With the return of Dragon Island, the Aslade family, whose power has expanded to the point where they can almost confront the royal family head-on, naturally became more arrogant.
Of course, this kind of arrogance is not stupid. The bold behavior of the Aslade family is actually intended to test the royal family's trump cards, such as the rumored mysterious royal guardians.
I just controlled a prince to fight for the throne, what can you do to me? Come and fight us if you dare!
At the same time, in order to be as safe as possible, the Aslade family is also trying its best to lobby the other three families to stand in their camp, or at least remain neutral.
In recent times, the other three major families have been discussing how they should treat the Aslade family.
The Aslade family's actions undoubtedly intend to drag the four major families of the empire into the water. Even though it seems that only the Aslade family is causing trouble now, the problem is that the four major families of the empire are inseparable in their positions.
In the eyes of the imperial family, even if the other three families "behaved" this time, what about next time? Today's Aslaide is tomorrow's other three families.
In other words, if they do not stick together, the four major families of the empire will be defeated one by one by the royal family in the future.
Assuming that the Aslade family's attempt fails this time and the royal family wants to destroy the Aslade family, the other three families must protect them even if they have to, and try to make the Aslade family pay a heavy price to quell the incident instead of being directly destroyed.
It is for this reason that the Aslade family is willing to offer the companion contract of the ninth-level dragon.
Faced with the provocation of the Aslade family, the royal family's response seemed somewhat calm.
The eldest prince and the fourth princess immediately withdrew their formation, licked their wounds, and were wary of the evil dragon that suddenly broke into the battlefield.
However, the royal guardians of the empire hidden in the dark, which many nobles secretly expected, did not appear at the first time, nor did they respond to the actions of the Aslade family, as if they had acquiesced to this interference.
At this point, the situation suddenly became even more confusing. Although the eldest prince and the fourth princess were very powerful, they were still just princes, not emperors of the empire, and could not use the royal family's treasure house and secret power.
Under this circumstance, the Seventh Prince, who was originally the weakest, with the support of the Aslade family, magically occupied a large area of territory that originally belonged to the First Prince and the Fourth Princess.
While the Aslade family was making great strides, Anvis himself was keeping a low profile in his "health preservation" at Pamir College.
When the news of Dragon Island's return just came out, Duke Carrot immediately found Anvis and warned him to be careful to hide himself recently to avoid being discovered by those dragons as his power dragon clone.
Duke Carrot was well aware of the situation of the clone created by Anvis. The real dragons hated the existence of those who refined their own kind into clones to steal the power of dragons.
Once Avis's clone is discovered, there will undoubtedly be a fight to the death.
Fortunately, the Duke and Avis are the only two people who know that Avis has such an avatar. As long as they are careful, the problem should not be serious.
Therefore, during this period, Avis never let the power dragon clone come out of the subspace of the clone.
There is no doubt that Dragon Island's return time has been greatly advanced.
After much thought, Avis could only think that it might be related to the overlapping area.
According to great scholars who have studied this area, the phenomenon of "overlapping areas" is actually a reflection of the fact that the distance between the dream world and the main material world is getting closer and closer.
Just like two wrinkled plastic films, there are always some protruding wrinkled parts that will touch each other first, and then as time goes by, the area of contact becomes larger and larger.
Until eventually, the dream world and the real world will theoretically completely overlap and become one.
No one can give an answer to what will happen then. But judging from the Holy Light Church's efforts to clean up the overlapping areas at almost no cost, and the actions of the pagans who are willing to sacrifice themselves to expand the overlapping areas, it will definitely not be a good thing for mankind.
At least, the emergence of Dragon Island is one of the consequences of the expansion of overlapping areas.
The return of one of the overlords of the ancient golden age to the Yar continent is bound to cause some friction with humans.
For players, the return of Dragon Island is a small online version update, similar to adding 0.1 to the version number. Although everyone knows that Dragon Island has returned, as a top hidden map, no player still knows how to get to Dragon Island.
Although it was not very convenient for his main body to move, Avis still arranged his various clones, as well as the ninth-level beings under his control, to collect the latest information from the entire continent as much as possible.
Due to the fateful collision between the Gray Fog and the Stargazer, many things happened by coincidence in the past few days.
The manifestation was that the Yar continent was dragged into an all-out war in just a few days.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
These wars are the doomsday of the weak and a feast for the ambitious.
"...Thank you for your patronage, and happy trading—"
"There are not many businessmen like you who have such a noble character. I look forward to our next cooperation!"
Ten thousand meters above the clouds, in a cold and hard metal airship with the emblem of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce painted on it, Avis's clone, Raphael, the head of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, was gently shaking hands with a noble head who was covered in sparkling gemstones.
On the vast land below the airship, an army that was as dark as a group of wriggling black dots, but whose number could only be described as "endless", was engaged in an extremely brutal fight.
Organized teams of wyvern knights and flying mechas took off in close formation, spitting poison and spraying light spears, and occasionally dropping from the sky, drowning some unlucky guys who couldn't dodge in time.
The ancient knight fought side by side with the high-tech constructed mecha. The sharp knight's sword was wrapped with fighting spirit and fiercely cut through the steel mecha in front of him, and then was engulfed by the blazing fireballs fired from afar.
The reason why Avis received such praise from the other party was that during the war, other chambers of commerce took the opportunity to double the price of their own combat supplies, but he only continued to sell them at a price slightly higher than the original price by 20%.
The two had just concluded a deal worth tens of millions of imperial gold coins, involving 3,000 of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce's latest standard mid-to-high-end constructs, hundreds of large military constructs such as the 'Glory III' self-propelled magic crystal cannon, heavy-constructed city-breaking vehicles, Doomsday II airships, and the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce's secret product [Magic Element Fusion Mecha] that is only available to large customers worth tens of millions.
It is actually a derivative of the Perfect Blood Mecha developed by Avis. Due to the existence of special demonized flesh and blood tissue, this constructed mecha theoretically has extremely strong self-recovery capabilities. Even if the joints are pierced, it can continue to maintain its combat effectiveness by regenerating through flesh and blood.
It can even release bloodline spells by demonizing the blood of its own flesh and blood.
In order to keep it secret, Avis degraded the original perfect blood, comprehensively weakening its attributes and resistances, but even so, this special flesh and blood construct is a dimensionality reduction attack on existing construct mechas.
In order to test the actual combat performance, after rushing to produce a batch, Avis directly put it on the secret product list of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce and marked a relatively cheap price, so that his customers would buy it in large quantities as if they had found a treasure.
