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!
<..."Everything about the Olivendi family?"
Hearing this, a hint of coldness emerged on Marquis Winter's face, and his original smile suddenly deepened. His scarlet eyes stared at Avis's face shrouded in the shadow of the hood.
"Interesting... Your goal is really big, [Man in the Mirror], and you are not afraid of not being able to swallow it, or of having indigestion after swallowing it!"
"Don't worry about that, Lord Winter. Fate will guide my future. Everything has already been determined."
Anvis ignored the implicit threat in Marquis Winter's words and looked back at Marquis Winter's eyes without caring.
"I can exchange everything of the Olivendi family for peaceful coexistence with you all. Isn't this a very suitable condition?"
"Live in peace... hehe——"
A cold light mixed with mockery and tyranny flashed in his blood-red eyes, and a faint black shadow danced behind Marquis Winter. The terrifying aura of the ancient ocean overlord, the Blood-Eyed Mosasaur, suddenly began to dissipate slowly.
The wind with a faint fishy and salty smell surged in the environment, shaking the plants and fountains in the courtyard, but Anvis just stared at Marquis Winter quietly like a sculpture, unmoved by the majesty he exuded.
"Okay, very good, as you wish. I hope you can always keep this good appetite!"
After the two sides confronted each other for a while, Marquis Winter finally softened his tone with a gloomy face and made a statement that was almost submissive.
If Anvis wants the Olivendi family, then they will give it to him! After all, there are three other families in the empire.
It is acceptable for them to use one quarter of the original expected goal to secure a ninth-level prophet at this critical period.
Besides, the Olivendi family is not a cake on the table that can be distributed at will with words. Instead, it is a ferocious beast hiding in the jungle, silently licking its wounds.
Although after the previous attack by the mysterious powerful man and the death of Duke Carrot, the Olivendi family seemed to have been severely damaged and was on the verge of collapse.
But the real high-ranking forces in the empire are aware that the Olivendi family is far from being completely destitute, and they still have the ability to at least deal with one or two marquises.
It is precisely because of this that the marquises have not yet directly shown their fangs, but are only slowly eroding the Olivendi family's industries and territories bit by bit.
Just like a hunter chasing a wounded beast, he keeps harassing it, draining the beast's last bit of strength, and patiently waits for the prey to become so weak that it collapses.
The most important thing is that the forces targeting the four major families of the empire are not just their [Glory Alliance].
Those so-called "civilian" resistance forces were actually secretly supported by the other two empires. They even sent saints to attack the Olivendi tribe. They didn't even bother to act.
Since the Man in the Mirror has such a big appetite, it would be better for the Olivendi family to give up temporarily and let the Man in the Mirror fight with the other two empires.
I'll wait until the dust settles on the other three families, and then I'll slowly deal with you.
"I'm sorry, but I have some urgent matters to attend to. Please help yourself, Mr. Mirror Man."
After achieving the goal of this meeting, Marquis Winter's clone immediately dissipated and left, not wanting to see Avis's annoying posture for even a second.
"It's moving really fast... In that case, it should be the prophet's time next."
Looking at the stone-carved spring flowing quietly under the silvery moonlight, Avis suddenly spoke without warning.
"Are you right, Mr. Stargazer?"
As Avis' words echoed, the dim starlight in the night sky suddenly lit up strangely, and invisible lines of starlight spread out like a gauze net, covering the entire square.
At the same time, in the originally deserted Fountain Square, the figure of "Stargazer" Brunz, dressed in a gray robe and with a strange spiral beard, quietly emerged under the moonlight.
"How did you find out?"
Facing Avis with a serious look, the Stargazer's tone was unusually cautious.
"It's just a guess. When there is a high probability that I will appear here, Mr. Stargazer should not miss the opportunity to find my real body."
Spreading his hands slightly, Avis spoke in a relaxed tone.
"You, don't exist in this world, right?"
Facing Avis's relaxed attitude, the stargazer was silent for a moment and finally stated his conclusion.
"After you break through to the ninth-level prophet, you should have seen those things that linger in the darkness and spy on this world."
"How do you know what I saw?"
Without admitting or denying, Anvis just asked back.
"Every breakthrough of a ninth-level prophet will provide them with guidance. I once chose to forget these things, but when the second ninth-level prophet appeared, the memories that I had sealed in the past were unlocked again."
Brunz raised his hand and touched his spiral beard, his eyes shining with starlight seemed to be reflecting the thread of Avis's fate.
“You should know that this is the reason why I have always prevented other prophets from breaking through the ninth level. Besides, your fate was not within my control before, so there is no need for us to be hostile.
Now, you and I face a common enemy, and we both know what will happen if they arrive in the world. I hope we can reach a consensus and work together to stop the coming extraterritorial existence."
"Mr. Stargazer must have heard my conversation with Mr. Winter."
Staring at the stargazer, Avis simply repeated his previous words.
"My request is simple. I want the Olivendi family."
"The fate of the four great families of the empire has long been determined. I personally have not made any special arrangements for them."
With a slight smile, the figure of the stargazer gradually disappeared.
"We will meet again, Man in the Mirror." . ….….After the meeting with Marquis Winter and the Stargazer that night, the situation in the province of Carlas gradually began to calm down.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It is not known what Marquis Winter discussed with the other marquises after he returned, but the Alliance of Glory temporarily stopped its encroachment on the Olivendi family.
As for the Spark Resistance, the frequency of its activities in the Karras Province area has also decreased significantly. The forces under the Olivendi family camp have all noticed that the enemy's strength seems to have decreased recently.
With the support of Anvis, the Hualuotianxia Guild also expanded rapidly, annexing many indigenous forces of the same camp and other small and medium-sized player guilds, forming a large guild that dominated the province of Karlas and became the most powerful for a time.
The commotion even alarmed the guild leader who was originally on a mission in the secret realm, so he temporarily interrupted his mission and returned. Some of the local small and medium-sized nobles were proud to be able to make friends with the Hualuo Tianxia Guild.
In this prosperous situation, Hualuotianxia even began to gradually recover the lost territories in the province with a great victory. Wherever the army went, nobles from all over the place bowed down to them, and some real grassroots resistance forces were even more frightened.
Finally, the strange reversal of the situation in the province of Carlas reached the ears of the current head of the Olivendi family.
The detailed information of Hualuotianxia was also presented to the current head of the Olivendi family, Anvis's ninth-level uncle, [Zero Degree Ice Crystal] Pomona.
"The foreigner force [Flowers Falling to the World] aggressively wiped out the resistance forces? The Glorious Alliance retreated? The current leader is a sixth-level 'powerful man'?"
After reading the absurd and ridiculous intelligence presented by his subordinates, Pomona's mouth twitched.
To be honest, he had just fought with Leo, the leader of the Spark Resistance, and escaped with great momentum after using his trump card. His injuries have not healed yet.
Now with this information, he seemed like a joke.
It is obvious that there is an extremely powerful external force secretly helping the Olivendi family, but the other party has not contacted him so far, and the reason behind this has to be suspicious.
The force that can interfere with the situation in the province of Carlas and force the Alliance of Glory to retreat must at least be of the same level as the four major families.
There are only a handful of forces of this level in the entire Yar continent, and it is impossible for them to emerge out of nowhere.
Furthermore, according to the intelligence, the other party had acted under the banner of 'the orthodoxy of the Olivendi family', which made Pomona instinctively feel that there was something wrong.
After much deliberation, Pomona finally decided to take the initiative to test the waters.
In the name of the Olivendi family, he sent people to the headquarters of Hualuotianxia, and specifically asked to meet with the supporters behind Hualuotianxia in Yuelin Castle.
"Pomona invited me? In the name of the Olivendi family?"
After receiving the invitation letter from Hualuotianxia, Anvis was both amused and confused.
According to his understanding, after Pomona took office, he carried out a large-scale purge of dissidents in the Olivendi family. Many people who had previously been from different factions in the family were exiled to the border of the territory by Pomona.
For example, Leonard, the butler who had used the water bomb spell to wake him up a long time ago, is now in the mountains north of Karlas, responsible for the breeding of the leopard beasts.
"That's good. It would be better if there were less noise in my province."
That night, Yuelin Castle was attacked by a mysterious man. The current head of the Olivendi family, [Zero Degree Ice Crystal] Pomona, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, fought bravely, but was ultimately defeated and opened the space gate to escape.
However, the spell's landing point was disturbed by spatial turbulence, resulting in a fatal error, causing Lord Pomona to accidentally fall into the life forbidden zone and fail to escape, and the blood crystal ball shattered. (End of this chapter)
