Chapter 696: Federal Residents
"Sir, are you a foreigner?"
Looking quietly at Avis's profile, the girl spoke shyly.
For some reason, although his appearance was not particularly eye-catching, she instinctively had a vague liking for the boy in front of her. Just looking at him like this, her heartbeat began to speed up.
"Yeah, does it look obvious to me?"
Avis looked at the girl with interest and handed the empty cup back to her. However, his eyes paused slightly when he swept over the black metal headband on her head that looked like an ornament.
"Well, during the Harvest Festival, people usually don't wear black clothes, even the professionals."
Without noticing the slight change in Avis's gaze, the girl explained to Avis while taking the cup that Avis handed back to her and carefully placing it alone in the corner of the wicker basket filled with beer and light green apple-shaped fruits.
"So, generally only guests who come from far away will be dressed like you."
"I see. Thank you for letting me know."
Feeling very amused, he nodded and casually took out an Imperial Rose Gold Coin and handed it to her.
"I noticed that your headband is a little special. Can you introduce it to me?"
"Of course, my generous lord!"
The girl took the heavy gold coins with some surprise, looked around carefully, and when she found that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly put the coins back into her purse.
"This is the 'Magic Construct Headband' my mother bought for me at the Lord's Mansion with the money she saved for a long time. It is said to have the potential to help ordinary people gain the power of professionals! As long as you wear it on your head, the headband will automatically emit a special wave that will gradually improve the wearer's physical qualifications!"
In response to Avis' question, the girl spoke without any defense and explained the origin of her headband.
“Now the Lord’s Mansion has reopened the channel for purchasing the Constructed Network Headband. It is now much more convenient for everyone to buy the headband, and the price is much cheaper than before from those underground merchants.
If it were in the past, even if my family saved for another ten years, it would definitely not be enough to buy a construction headband.
In order for us to live a better life, the Lord is willing to take on the pressure from our enemies and make decisions for us. Thank you, my kind Lord!
However, there are always some people who doubt the Lord's intentions, thinking that the Magic Construct Headband is a conspiracy, and they resist everywhere. But the Lord obviously doesn't have to do all this effort!"
Having said this, the girl's expression couldn't help but show a hint of anger, as if she was angry that those people had misunderstood the lord's good intentions.
"Yeah?"
Taking a look at the black metal headband on the girl's head, Avis shook his head slightly.
The real reason why the Construct Headband allows ordinary people to obtain "professional talents" is actually because of the overflow of the power of the Outer Gods caused by the advent of Maelim.
Not to mention that the conditions were no longer there, the headband the girl was wearing was simply a fake. Although it looked similar on the outside, there was no inscription structure inside, and it was purely a low-quality decoration.
“…And those rebels, they only know how to start a war, and those strange foreigners support them very much, saying they want a revolution, overthrow the rule of the aristocracy, and liberate the people.
It is clear that wherever they go, war will break out. They even publicize the dangers of construct headbands and forcibly snatch construct headbands from people to prevent people from getting the opportunity to become professionals! "
Under Avis's encouraging gaze, the girl happily spoke out what she usually wanted to say but didn't dare to say.
For some reason, facing Avis's gaze, the girl felt strangely relaxed, and instinctively felt that the boy in front of her would never harm her.
Anvis just smiled at the girl's complaint.
The security in the Black Feather Capital is still pretty good, and the people don't have much pressure in life, so it is normal for the girl to hate war and the rebels who bring war.
The rebels were not wrong, because the environment they had lived in was far worse than that of the girls. The nobles' extortion, years of war, and the robbery of soldiers and bandits had already forced them to the point where they could no longer survive.
In fact, as long as life is passable, people will not risk death to rebel, especially in a world with extraordinary power.
However, now that the ancient Patikaran Agreement has been invalidated, how far is it from the next all-out war? Retracting his charming aura, Anvis bid farewell to the enthusiastic girl and walked slowly into the distance.
The noisy festival crowd passed by him. An elven bard holding a light green harp sang cheerful folk songs. Drunken dwarf warriors and human player mercenaries lay together in the white stone square. Children ran around and played beside them.
The celebration floats passed through the center of the crowd, and actors performed the mythological story of the goddess of harvest coming to the world. Golden wheat symbolizing the goddess' blessing was scattered to the crowd, and the harvest was cheered.
Now, players have truly integrated into this world and are enjoying the festive atmosphere just like the natives.
At a glance, Avis saw several people wearing construct headbands in the crowd. There were natives and players with panels floating in front of them.
At present, for some unknown reason, although the headband has been put on sale in advance, the official has not yet reopened the function of constructing network connection, and only said that it is still under debugging.
However, Avis was well aware that this involved high-level bargaining within the Federal Parliament.
The network must be restored, but how should the share of network power be calculated? And how can we ensure that there will be no tragedy like the previous speaker?
Currently, the federal top brass is working intensively to resolve these issues, but the time for the network to truly reopen will not be too far away.
With one last look at the city in revelry, Avis rolled up his cloak and disappeared into the street corner where no one was watching.
It’s lively here, but it has nothing to do with him. . ….…. “Long time no see, Anvis.”
After Anvis left the Federation, an unexpected guest found Anvis at Pamir College.
"Is there anything wrong, my dear Ninth Councillor?"
In the reception room of his residence, looking at Prince Lanno who suddenly came to see him, Anvis waved his hand and two cups of Ancient Tree of Life black tea appeared on the table, and spoke jokingly.
"...I think you should know that my fourth sister has now broken through to the ninth level.
Before her breakthrough, she went to Xingchen Territory to meet your mysterious sister. "
A trace of helplessness flashed across his blue and purple pupils, and the corner of Prince Lannuo's mouth twitched. He, the so-called ninth councillor, was just a runner-up, and could only watch the eldest prince and the fourth princess confront each other.
Of course, he now nominally belongs to the camp of the fourth princess Osvia. After all, his fourth sister had taken good care of him before, which was much better than those brothers who secretly suppressed him.
"Now, after she broke through the ninth level, her relationship with your sister Fiona has become closer."
Holding the teacup, Prince Lanno took a sip of tea slowly and looked at Avis.
"As a descendant of the Olivendi family, what do you think about this matter?"
