Chapter 441 Purpose
When Avis was looking at the map and thinking about the next decision, there was a knock on the study door.
"Dear Mr. Man in the Mirror, there is a letter for you."
After obtaining Anvis's permission, a man in the uniform of the Embers' Senior Commander entered the room, bowed respectfully, and placed an envelope with the emblem of the Alliance of Glory on Anvis's desk.
After the man left, Anvis glanced at the letter.
Then, the envelope floated up, and the light silver secret seal on the surface automatically unlocked. Along with a faint fragrance, a light black special letter paper emerged from it.
The stationery was made of black rose bud petals, with a light floral scent. The handwriting on the stationery was also very beautiful, but each word had a sharp ending.
The letter was very short. After reading it in its entirety, Anvis put it away.
Simply put, this is an invitation letter for him to visit the castle in three days. The inviter is Lady Mandel, a senior official of the Glory Alliance who is responsible for Rock Helm, Myles, Wind Valley and other kingdoms.
Avis also knew some information about this person.
Pomona Mandel, a mid-level eighth-level spellcaster from the School of Illusion, a widow who killed three husbands, is generally known as Countess Mandel.
Although she has an extremely beautiful appearance, those who truly know her know that she is an out-and-out poppy flower, with a deadly nature hidden beneath her beautiful appearance.
"At this point in time, you want to invite me to a private meeting?"
Tapping his fingers on the table, Avis showed a somewhat playful expression.
Every action must have its purpose.
His current identity as the 'Man in the Mirror' is that of the leader of the Embers Organization. Strictly speaking, he is in a hostile camp to the Alliance of Glory.
As a high-ranking member of the Glory Alliance, he privately invited the high-ranking members of the enemy to meet. This action itself has revealed a lot of information.
As for whether this was a trap, Avis felt that the probability was very small.
Putting yourself in the other person's shoes, anyone would be extremely cautious when meeting in the enemy's territory.
Even if he was not a clone, if he had been prepared, even if it was really a trap, it would be difficult to successfully keep the person. Instead, it would cause him to lose his credibility in the circle, which was undoubtedly a stupid move.
Three days later, Anvis arrived at the Cotton Territory in the north of the Rock Helmet Kingdom, where the castle of the Mandel family was located.
Passing through magnificent corridors and archways, led by the head maid, Anvis, dressed in an ember cloak, arrived at the door of the castle's study.
Knock knock knock——
"Dear Mrs. Mandel, His Excellency the Man in the Mirror has arrived."
The head maid knocked on the door three times respectfully, then lowered her head and waited.
"Come in—"
A few seconds later, accompanied by a magnetic and charming female voice, the door carved with vines opened automatically.
Behind the large black oak desk, a mature lady with blond hair, purple eyes, and a voluptuous figure, wearing a light blue intricate long dress, raised her head and lazily glanced at Avis who had just entered the door.
"It is an honor to meet you, the famous Mirror Man. I have long admired your deeds of personally leading the army to capture the capital and forcibly forcing the Ninth Order to retreat."
Putting down the slender amber-rimmed ladies' hookah in her hand, the graceful Mrs. Mandel slightly opened her red lips, exhaled a puff of misty smoke, and gave him a charming smile.
"Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Mandel. May I ask why you invited me here this time?"
Avis bowed lightly, made a casual remark, and then went straight to the point.
When he captured the capital of the Rock Helmet Kingdom, he undoubtedly encountered the Ninth Level Protector of the Nation.
If it were in the past, he might have to go through some trouble, but now thanks to Fiona, after getting the family amulet back, he directly contacted Duke Carrot for help.
After all, the Duke already knows his current identity, so why not use it?
"Oh, Mr. Man in the Mirror is really anxious."
Mrs. Mandel covered her mouth gently with her slender hands in black lace gloves, and stared at Avis' eyes hidden in the shadow of the hood with a fake smile.
"This time, I have prepared a great gift for you, a secret that will determine the survival of the Embers Organization!"
"Ms. Mandel, do you know what you are talking about?"
Avis nodded unmoved, his tone lukewarm.
"Of course, to show my sincerity, I can even tell you this secret first. It won't be too late to make a decision after you have heard it."
Mrs. Mandel smiled.
"The Itel Kingdom Federation was established more than 2,000 years ago, but the territories of the various kingdoms in the federation have hardly changed from 2,000 years ago. Your Excellency should know the reason, right?"
“You mean the Patikaran Agreement?”
Avis spoke without comment.
"That's right."
Mrs. Mandel nodded.
"With the protection of the agreement, those powerful kingdoms cannot attack weak kingdoms at will. Except for a few special circumstances that are almost impossible to replicate, the Federation has been at peace for a long time.
But now, the emergence of the resistance organization has broken the Federation's rules of the game."
"Because they have not signed the Patikaran Agreement, the rebels can attack any kingdom at will. When they gain support from certain special forces, they become an extremely sharp sword."
“However, many resistance organizations have been advancing so smoothly recently. Don’t you feel puzzled, Your Excellency?
Just like the Embers Organization that you lead, in the process of conquering the Rockhelm Kingdom, were the only enemies you faced from the beginning to the end the Rockhelm Kingdom’s army?
Even after the conquest, the other kingdoms did not try to attack you when you were unstable, but allowed you to develop peacefully?"
"From our position, it should be clear what the reason is."
Avis' tone became even colder.
"This is not only our war, but also the war of the prophets."
"How true it is, um—"
Picking up the pipe again, Mrs. Mandel gently pressed down her skirt with her hand, and looked at Avis with her seductive eyes.
"But if I were to tell you that the resistance organization is destined to be a discarded pawn in this war, what would you think?"
Leaning comfortably on the back of the mahogany chair, the blonde lady narrowed her eyes.
"Do you think I'm trying to scare you? Let me tell you the truth. The ultimate goal of those high-level prophets is actually to completely unify the Federation!
Perhaps you think that the purpose of those prophets is to support you in conquering the entire federation, and they will use this as an opportunity to break through.
But unfortunately, the role played by the rebels, from the beginning to the end, was only to make those kingdoms change their ownership and then leave the protection of the Patikaran Agreement."
Through the misty smoke, Mrs. Mandel's faint purple eyes met the silent Avis's gaze.
“Everyone knows about the existence of the Patikaran Accord, but few know what it is.
Did you know that the Patikaran Agreement has a supplementary clause of a special nature.
When the number of member states of the agreement is reduced to less than 70% of the original agreement due to non-external reasons, the agreement will be invalidated.
“And what you are doing now is gradually approaching this limit.
When the rebels occupy a large enough territory, they will lose their greatest role. At that time, it will be time for the three kingdoms and other forces to settle accounts. "
