Chapter 818 Meeting with Lan Nuo

The return of Avis's original body did not alarm anyone. Since he usually had a clone to complete some simple daily routines and appearances on his behalf, no one noticed that he had been away from the empire for a long time.

He had shown his strength in the previous dispute with the Evergrande Club. In addition, his daily style at Pamir Academy was to stay at home and rarely participate in social activities among the nobles. He looked like a fanatical mystic scholar who was indifferent to worldly affairs.

In the archives of many forces, Avis has been classified as a "weirdo". He poses a certain threat, but his importance level is not high.

Some people privately speculated that Anvis was probably overshadowed by his genius sister since childhood, and the resources of the Olivendi family were more inclined towards Fiona.

That's why he gave up on himself and just focused on studying his hobbies. He didn't want to fulfill his responsibilities as the descendant of the head of the Olivendi family, nor did he plan to participate in the competition for the next head of the family.

Perhaps he has enough professional talent, but now, he has not grown up after all, and the situation in the empire has no soil for him to grow steadily.

As for his forces, even if they were raised to the level of the empire, they could only be considered small-scale and insignificant. . ….…. "Are you back? I have also heard about some major events that happened in the Itel Federation recently. I guess some of them must have something to do with you, right?"

In the reception room of the Pamir Academy residence, Prince Lanno, dressed in military uniform, received an invitation from Avis and took some time out of his busy schedule to meet with Avis.

"Don't try. You know it won't lead to anything."

Facing one of his few friends, Anvis generously took out the black tea he had looted from an unlucky ninth-level cultivator, made from the new buds of the ancient tree of life that was attached to the roots of the World Tree in the Elf Royal Court, and shared it with Lanno.

"Sometimes, I really envy you for being able to live such a leisurely and peaceful life. You don't need to consider the messy interests and political influences, but just purely enjoy what you like."

Leaning on the sofa with a slight disregard for his image, Lan Nuo held a simple and thin white porcelain teacup and exhaled with some emotion.

In fact, while Anvis was fighting with the Speaker in the Federation, the situation in the Empire was also developing steadily.

After reaching an agreement with the "top prophet" that Anvis helped to contact, Lanno has officially declared independence and won the full support of the new aristocratic forces represented by the royal guardian [Star Guardian] and the Alliance of Glory.

The Ninth Prince, who originally had little presence, gained control of a huge force at the same level as the First Prince, the Fourth Princess, and the Seventh Prince in a very short period of time, and became one of the competitors for the throne of the empire, which made people in the empire fall in love with him.

There are many people with sinister thoughts speculating that the guardians of the empire also want to follow the example of the Aslade family, support the Ninth Prince as a puppet, and participate in the struggle for imperial power.

“Really, only when you really hold power, you will know how tiring this position is… Um, what kind of tea is this!?”

After casually taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, Lan Nuo reacted belatedly as he felt the vitality filling his body and the upper limit of his spiritual sea suddenly expanding.

Even though he was a prince of the empire, it was the first time for him to taste tea of ​​this level.

"Ancient Tree of Life Black Tea, a specialty of the Elf King's Court—"

Taking a sip of the red tea comfortably, Avis let the cup float in the air beside him and smiled at Lan Nuo in front of him.

"We both know that this kind of life is not what you want. You are born to be in power, and every bit of your flesh and blood craves power and rule as if it craves to breathe. Even the crisis-ridden environment of the imperial family cannot extinguish your ambition."

He could see that in the blue and purple eyes of the handsome little prince, there was a flowing light shining. That was the glory brought by the power that Lan Nuo longed for.

"Perhaps."

Lan Nuo also laughed and did not refute anything. He looked steadily into Avis's deep blue eyes and asked a question in return.

"So, Anweisi, what about you? Don't tell me that this is the life you want. You and I are exactly the same kind of people. Although we are not in the spotlight, we always want to control everything."

"I?"

Avis shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry about me and you conflicting with each other. Our goals are different after all. Everything I do is just to keep me and the people I cherish alive in this chaotic world. That's all."

"You and the ones you hold dear? The Olivendi family? Or your dazzling sister?"

After pondering Avis' words for a while, a strange look flashed in Lan Nuo's eyes.

Although Fiona is also from the Olivendi family, in fact, the two cannot be confused. The forces in the empire currently targeting the two are also different.

"All of them, Your Highness Lanno."

Avis smiled again, and repeated it in a very natural tone, but with a hint of unstoppable meaning.

"All of them—"

Holding the teacup in silence, Lan Nuo stared at Avis. After pondering for a while, he finally spoke solemnly.

"I don't know where your confidence comes from, Anweisi. But I can assure you that if I succeed to the throne and become Gloria IV in the future, the Olivendi family will still exist."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Afterwards, the two of them tacitly dropped the topic and casually chatted about the latest developments in the empire that were considered confidential to the outside world.

After finishing a pot of tea, Lan Nuo stood up and said goodbye.

As the leader of an aristocratic group, he still has many things to deal with.

After Prince Lanno left, Anvis still sat there, as if thinking and sorting out the current situation and what impact it would have on himself.

After a moment, Avis suddenly stood up, walked to the back of Prince Lanno's previous seat, and gently grabbed in the air with his white-gloved hand.

A breath of air shining with starlight emerged from nothingness and was held in his palm.

With this inexplicable breath as the center, a mysterious atmosphere quietly emerged in the room, as if the boundless starry sky suddenly descended here, making people instinctively feel insignificant and awe.

"Star Guardian..."

Avis smiled meaninglessly, just like an ordinary fifth-level professional, letting the breath dissipate naturally in his palm.

A certain 'mysterious being' who was here just now left this breath deliberately when he left.

A royal guardian condescended to stand by Lan Nuo's side and let him see him. This seemed to be a way for Lan Nuo to show him his strength. It was also a subtle way of revealing a message that he, Lan Nuo, was different from the Seventh Prince and was not just a puppet pushed out into the open.

According to the secret information provided by Lan Nuo, there are currently differences of opinion among the three strongest guardians of the empire.

The Heart of Darkness supports the royal orthodoxy headed by the eldest prince Ferdinand, while the Guardians of the Stars support the new aristocratic forces represented by the ninth prince Lanno and the Alliance of Glory, and advocate the supremacy of constructs.
