Chapter 447 Choice
After a while, Avis walked into the room under the leadership of the previous rebel.
"I can't believe that the famous leader of the Spark Organization, His Majesty Leo, a ninth-level professional, is actually reviewing documents in such a simple environment?"
After looking around the ordinary furniture in the study, Avis turned back to Leo with a casual tone.
“Tsk tsk, should we say that he is worthy of being a ninth-rank person who originally came from the bottom? This kind of hard-working and simple style is really admirable—”
"Sir, I don't like your tone."
Listening to Avis's somewhat sarcastic words, Leo's tone was slightly cold. The invisible and intangible force field spread from his body surface, gradually covering the entire room.
But what surprised him was that when his own domain expanded to Avis, he did not feel any resistance at all and enveloped Avis.
"Magic projection?!"
The next second, the feedback sent back from his own field made Leo immediately understand the reason, and he looked at Avis with a hint of suspicion.
"So, who are you? What is your purpose here?"
"Don't doubt it, Your Majesty Leo. I am indeed from the Ring of Truth."
"After all, as a peace-loving organization, I came here with the organization's sincerity."
Even as Leo's domain enveloped the entire room, Avis' tone remained calm.
"Correspondingly, this projection also has no combat capability. If it receives even the slightest bit of damage, it will instantly shatter.
Therefore, Your Excellency had better not act rashly, and there is no need to conduct meaningless tests. We will not send out a second projection."
"Hmph... Very good, explain your intentions."
Glancing at him coldly, Leo finally did not crush the projection directly, but decided to listen to his purpose of coming here.
"Before we show our sincerity, I need to ask you a question, Your Majesty Leo."
As he spoke, Avis touched his chest gracefully and saluted with a charming demeanor.
"Are you content with the current situation of the resistance army?"
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Leo's expression became even colder, and an invisible oppressive atmosphere gradually rose in the room.
The bonfire in the fireplace began to flicker, and pages of paper moved without wind, casting strange, jumping shadows on the wall, as if some strange world had suddenly descended.
"You really don't understand, Your Majesty Leo?"
Facing Leo who seemed about to get angry, Avis smiled slightly.
"Well, let me be frank. You were used as a knife. You went through so much trouble to destroy the original rulers, but in the end, the people who oppressed you were replaced by new ones. Are you willing to accept such a fate?"
"In your position, I believe someone has already told you about the goals of those high-level prophets and the insurance clauses of the Patikaran Agreement."
“When the Patikaran Agreement was dissolved, the rebels, like a knife that had lost its usefulness, naturally fell apart.
You will lose all support from behind, and most of your material replenishment channels will be cut off. You can only buy supplies through the black market at several times the price, and the captured spoils can only be sold at 50% off or even lower.
Furthermore, the coalition forces of the other kingdoms will personally come out to carry out an endless siege against you. Any place where you are will be engulfed in flames of war, with no place to rest and recuperate.
Suddenly, the whole world turns against you."
Ignoring Leo's increasingly ugly expression, Avis continued to speak in a calm, almost cold tone with a creepy smile on his face.
“And you, as a famous leader of the resistance army, will naturally never be forgiven.
Your sword, your head, your soul... all of these can be sold for a good price. Are you willing to accept this fate?"
"Your head will be publicly displayed to the public, and everyone will understand that this is the source of all the wars, and has now been eradicated by the benevolent and wise lord.
Then he will be grateful to the lord, extinguish all desire for resistance, and transfer all the hatred generated in the war to you and the rebels.
Your sword will become a treasure in a certain castle, and you will proudly show it to the guests at every party - 'This is the sword of the legendary rebel leader Leo.'
Then, they will tell you about your various achievements while letting the noble children pass them around and play with them.
And your soul is even more popular. It is the soul of a ninth-level legendary figure. Any ninth-level necromancer will pay a high price to collect it. After turning you into a necromancer, they might even use you to wipe out the remnants of the resistance army."
"How about this fate, Your Majesty, are you really willing to accept it?"
"Humph! Your Excellency, you are exaggerating a bit too much!"
Listening to Avis' words, Leo's eyes were extremely cold, and his tone sounded as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth, as if he would crush Avis at any time.
“Whether this is alarmist or not, I’m sure you’ve already made up your mind.
Or do you intend to use this as a means of advancement, sacrificing the entire resistance at a critical moment, and thus taking a seat in the new ruling class?"
As he said this, Avis couldn't help but laugh.
“Of course, this is also a good idea. After all, the ninth level always enjoys more privileges at any time.
He transformed himself magnificently from the not-so-glorious role of a rebel leader into a heroic figure who had to endure humiliation for the sake of long-term peace in the empire.
It not only gets rid of the negative impact, but also gets the greatest benefit.”
"Perhaps, I can address you as Your Majesty Duke Leo in advance?"
Before Avis finished speaking, Leo suddenly snorted coldly, and the huge momentum of the ninth level surged out wildly, pressing towards him fiercely, as if trying to force his words back into his stomach.
Facing the terrifying pressure, Avis' smile did not change at all.
When the pressure was approaching, his figure suddenly flashed, and all the pressure fell into nothingness.
"Hmm?! You're quite good at it."
Leo was suspicious in his heart, but on the surface he continued to stare at Avis without changing his expression. His eyes were like those of a calm and bloodthirsty coyote in the wilderness.
"It seems that you still have prejudice and distrust towards me. But it doesn't matter. If you change your mind, you can send someone to the Dawn Tavern, and I will show you our first sincerity."
"For example - Embers."
After he finished speaking slowly, Avis put his left hand behind his back, placed his right hand on his chest, bowed gracefully to Leo, and then disappeared in a flash.
Looking at the place where Avis disappeared, Leo tapped the table with his fingers, his face calm. But his left hand, which was behind his back, had been clenched tightly in an unnatural way without knowing when.
