What was different from before was that the Dark Heart and the Star Guardian, who represented the conservatives and the reformists, openly joined the camps of the eldest prince and the ninth prince respectively. Instead of fighting secretly as before, they seemed to be taking this opportunity to determine who was the better of them.
Gray, the strongest of the three guardians, chose to return to the imperial mausoleum to guard it alone, seemingly indifferent to worldly affairs and not intending to interfere in the ideological dispute between the other two guardians.
With the royal guardians taking the lead in creating camp confrontations, the Gloria Empire has actually shown obvious signs of division.
Avis didn't care about Lan Nuo's little thoughts.
After all, a large part of the power of the Lanno camp is actually related to him.
After Gray Mist was gone, he took over most of Gray Mist's legacy in advance, including the cooperation with Lan Nuo, and Lan Nuo's current high-level prophet power still needed him.
Avis even secretly provided Lanno, through the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, with the third-generation demonized construct troops and knight commanders that his men had developed a while ago but were not yet available for sale to the public.
It is a more mature modulation product of the Perfect Blood Project, equipped with an optimized Hive Will System, with a variety of different types of soldiers. The strength of each individual soldier can reach the sixth level. It is led by a demonized knight whose single strength reaches the seventh level and can activate legion skills with a very high synchronization rate.
Spreading a magic map on the cedar coffee table in front of him, Avis added some marks symbolizing hidden forces on each area of the map based on some information provided by Lanno.
The map depicts the entire territory of the Gloria Empire, which is dyed in different colors according to the influence areas of the four contenders for the throne.
The prince with the largest territory is the Seventh Prince, who is backed by the Aslade family and Dragon Island. Currently, he has Frey Province as his base camp and firmly occupies the entire northern territory of the empire except for the province of Karras.
Next came the eldest prince Ferdinand and the rising ninth prince Lanno. As the royal guardian had personally taken action, most of the nobles in the empire joined the two camps according to their own factions.
Finally, there is the fourth princess, Osvia, who is in a somewhat awkward situation.
Due to Lan Nuo's sudden independence, a small number of nobles who were originally loyal to her left, which seriously affected the power of her subordinates. As a result, her relationship with Lan Nuo became very rigid.
However, due to Fiona's mediation on behalf of Lanno and Lanno's large compensation to Osvia, the relationship between the two sides has eased and they have resumed their cooperation.
However, according to Anvis' own secret information channels, the Enoch family seemed to have some kind of secret contact and exchange of interests with Osvia.
Among the four major families in the empire, the Olivendi and Alfred families have always been close, while the Enoch family, famous for magic, and the Aslade family, which is a combat-class family, do not get along with each other.
Now that the Aslade family is so powerful, the Enoch family can't just sit there and watch. They have to at least give them some trouble.
Anvis personally speculated that if the Enoch family suffered a setback in the friction between them and the Aslade family, perhaps the Olivendi and Alfred families would secretly lend a hand to balance the power gap between the two sides.
At the same time, the remaining marquises of the empire also had their own plans.
According to confidential information provided by Lan Nuo, the branch of the Songxing Esoteric Cult, the [Revelation Esoteric Cult] that believes in the 'Daughter of the Red Cup', is secretly colluding with the marquises and seems to be secretly preparing certain rituals.
Therefore, the Holy Light Church also dispatched one of the seven archbishops, Candia Turner, who was blessed by God, to enter the Gloria Empire through diplomatic channels on the pretext of hunting down the followers of the Song Star Esoteric Cult. He is currently staying in a temporary church in the royal capital of Paloxia.
After marking all the information, Avis looked at the intricate distribution of color blocks on the map and frowned for a moment.
Before the Stargazer fell asleep, he told him that the disappearance of the four major families of the empire was the trend of fate and was inevitable.
Avis would not turn a deaf ear to the warning of the strongest prophet, but he could not see any obvious enemy for the time being.
After a moment, Avis put away the map.
All the confusion nowadays stems from his lack of strength.
If he is now a ninth-order predictor of the same level as the stargazer, then he will also be able to know the information that the stargazer can predict.
"It will take some time for the clone to actually arrive at the City of Origin. Before that, it's a good opportunity to meet with Ogman and use the perfect blood to resolve the conflict between the two bloodlines and adjust the body to the most perfect state."
After thinking for a moment, Anvis decided on his next move.
In fact, the perfect blood specially prepared for Avis's bloodline should have been prepared long ago. However, due to Avis's rapid increase in strength, the original blood sample parameters failed several times in a row, and the preparation progress was delayed again and again.
It was not until before Anvis went to the Federation to deal with the Speaker's issue that Ogman finally completed the perfect blood suitable for his current level.
However, when Avis stood up from the sofa, he suddenly noticed something unusual in his mind.
He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the main entrance of his residence.
As Avis watched, the light on one side of the door suddenly became slightly distorted and dimmed, and a pitch-black envelope slipped out of nothingness and silently fell on the carpet at the door.
"letter?"
Watching this scene with some caution, Avis walked over and picked up the letter with the hand of a wizard.
Both sides of the envelope were blank, without any signature or identity symbol. After using magic to check it and confirming that there was no threat, Avis opened it.
'To, Anvis Olivendi'
'It doesn't feel good to always be outshined by Fiona, right?
From childhood to adulthood, your grades in all courses have been better than hers. While she was relaxing and playing, you were studying and practicing hard.
You have worked countless times harder than she has, but you still cannot catch up with her talent. You can only watch her enjoy the resources that the family has fully devoted to her, and the gap in strength becomes larger and larger.
Do you still remember the ideal you once had in the castle garden? Become a ruler and lead your family to prosperity.
But now, you who are older than her can only wander around in the academy. But she has already obtained a territory and officially became a lord, able to quickly develop her own foundation and enhance her reputation and influence among the people.
Even so, you still didn't give up.
Although you pretend to be a scholar on the surface to numb the outside world, you are still working hard to build your own power in secret, intending to show it at some critical moment in the future to prove your strength to the family in order to compete for the position of head of the family.
To this end, we are giving you a top-secret intelligence free of charge.
The position of the next head of the Olivendi family has been jointly decided by all the ninth-level masters, including Duke Carrot, to be Fiona, and she will not enter the competition.
How about it, after learning this information, I wonder how you feel? Now, we will provide you with a unique opportunity, an opportunity that will allow you to completely overthrow Fiona in the future and take the position of the head of the Olivendi family.
Three days later, a dinner party will be held at the coordinates (*%) of the surface dream world. We look forward to your presence.'
After reading this letter with strange format and wording, Avis was silent for a moment.
The sender seemed to know something about him, but not very well.
Moreover, Avis could feel that there was a thin power of a foreign god attached to the letter paper.
This force was secretly influencing his emotions, trying to invisibly guide his thinking in the direction the letter writer wanted.
Not to mention that Avis' current strength is only at the 'fifth level', even a true seventh-level professional would be unconsciously fooled when reading the letter, and would be aroused with anger and dissatisfaction towards Fiona and the family.
Furthermore, due to the extremely high status of the alien god, he was able to avoid triggering the protective ornaments prepared for him by his family.
But unfortunately, for Avis now, the amount of this power is too small, and even the old secret scriptures are too lazy to absorb it.
