Chapter 651 Secrets
Before Shuster arrived, the strongest person in the room was an eighth-level storm wizard who was responsible for protecting the messenger. The other party was unaware of his detection, which showed that his mental strength was far weaker than his.
As an eighth-level master whose innate magic is in the field of illusion, Avis easily deceived the seventh-level city lord, making the city lord think that the young man next to him was the newly captured Avis.
He himself was sitting in the city lord's study, with his mental power open, covering and observing the situation in the entire city lord's mansion.
In fact, the moment Avis was brought into the City Lord's Mansion by that stupid little thief, his mental power had already scanned the entire City Lord's Mansion and confirmed that there was no existence that could really threaten him.
In fact, this is the normal style of painting in the Yar Continent. Because the real ninth-level is extremely rare, and often erratic whereabouts, almost never appear in front of low-level professionals.
The strongest professional that usually appears in situations is level seven, and it is extremely rare to see an eight-level professional.
Anvis often sees various ninth-level beings, but the influence is different due to his identity as the son of Duke Carrot.
Before the banquet was held, Avis had already heard the entire discussion between the city lord and the butler.
He was not sure whether the envoys of the Marquis who arrived tonight were also affected by the mercury dice, but this carnival dinner was obviously the 'place where desires gather' that the mercury dice indicated to him.
This is a great opportunity, not only to foster the growth of the Seed of Desire, but perhaps also to arrange a little surprise for those marquises who took the lead in the rebellion.
So he waited patiently until now.
The Lord of Dragon Shadow City did not disappoint him. This grand carnival banquet was very novel to Anvis. It also allowed him to understand the entertainment methods of ordinary nobles and professionals in the Federation.
As the many professionals in the atrium began to revel, Avis could clearly feel that a large amount of chaotic desire power began to rise. The seeds of desire suspended in his spiritual space also became noticeably active as if they were strongly stimulated.
Especially when many professionals drank the dream potion and sank into the blissful dream, a richer and stronger power of desire emanated from them, like a container that was completely full but was still being filled.
These overflowing invisible desires gathered together, watering the seeds of desire like evil nectar, causing hazy lines to gradually appear on its surface.
Avis also got a bottle of that dream potion. According to his analysis, the main ingredients were very low-quality dream grass and dark moth scale powder, which had a weak magical power to evoke desires and illusions in one's heart, but had no effect on him.
At the same time, as the banquet at the main venue progressed, in addition to the people from the Spark organization, Avis noticed that others who had secret contact with the Marquis' representative included some nobles from the Glory Alliance and representatives from some small and medium-sized kingdoms in the Federation, but none of them were very strong, and the real big fish did not show up.
Tonight's meeting is just a prelude. The top leaders of the Federation are still in a wait-and-see state, hesitating whether to take the opportunity to intervene in the civil war in the empire and get a piece of the pie.
The biggest risk is that no one can be sure how long the "friction" between the marquises and the two major families will last. If the marquises admit defeat too quickly, then the ones who will suffer are the foreign forces who have rashly intervened, and all their early investments will be wasted.
And tonight's meeting with the Marquis's envoy also has the purpose of finding out the other party's background.
However, despite all the attempts, the messenger did not give in, but only used various rhetoric to deal with everyone. He also used reasons such as not all the people had arrived yet and the time had not come yet, and he was always unwilling to come up with anything substantial.
It was only when Xu Te of the Spark Organization arrived that the messenger's attitude changed slightly with the secret hint of the Storm Warlock who was guarding him. He saluted him very formally, but still did not let go.
This situation made Avis curious. What was the other party waiting for? As time passed, tonight's banquet finally reached its climax.
On the main seat, the somewhat portly city lord finally stood up from the encirclement of his slaves and strode up to the stepped platform in the center of the hall.
At the same time, under the effect of magic, the lights in the entire hall suddenly gathered on him, making his tall figure bathed in the attention of the whole audience.
"Everyone! I declare that tonight's dinner is over!"
Hearing the city lord's call, everyone, including the classical orchestra that was performing, fell silent temporarily, and their eyes turned to the figure wearing a dark golden mask standing at the highest point.
Amidst many expectant gazes, the city lord raised his hands and cheered.
"Now, the dance begins!"
As the city lord's voice fell, the background music started again, but unlike the elegant classical music that originally lingered in the venue, the music now turned into a rhapsody overflowing with sweetness and lust.
Every note seems to carry passion and provocation, just like the silver music played at the never-ending carnival party in the garden of the gods in ancient mythology.
Beautiful girls and boys with different appearances but numb expressions, wearing gauze and magic-forbidden neck rings, entered the hall holding trays made of pure gold. On the trays, bottles of even more psychedelic and beautiful potions were neatly arranged.
Different from the dream potions used by low-level professionals, these are more advanced and will not make the drinkers sink into a fantasy dream, but will multiply all happy and exciting emotions.
A distinguished guest took a bottle from the table at random, and drank it all without hesitation. Then, they embraced the girls and boys they liked and went to the dance floor, dancing wildly and enjoying the decadent carnival.
A wonderful world opened its doors to them, and all morals and bottom lines were abandoned, as if the garden of the gods in classical mythology had come to life.
At this moment, in Avis's perception, the chaotic power of desire in the environment rose to a new level again.
"Now, everyone, the time has come."
In this chaotic crowd, the ambassador seemed to have finally gotten what he was waiting for. His tone changed, and he stopped making excuses and delaying. Instead, he really began to tell everyone the information they wanted to know.
"I know exactly what you are worried about. You are simply worried that the Marquis behind me will fail too quickly and suffer heavy losses."
At this point, a hint of disdain flashed across the messenger's eyes.
"Everyone knows how powerful the four great families of the empire are, but have you ever thought about one thing? Why did His Majesty the Marquis suddenly choose to band together and attack the two great families directly this time? Haven't His Majesty the Marquis ever thought about the problems you are all worried about? If the plan fails, the losses His Majesty the Marquis will suffer will be ten or a hundred times greater than yours!"
"Now, I can tell you clearly that the situation this time is different from the past. An extremely special force has reached a secret cooperation with the Marquis.
It is precisely because of the addition of this force that we have enough confidence to dare to try to confront the two major families head-on! "
Gugu, make up for yesterday's, there is still today
