Chapter 426 Meeting and Seed of Power
The meeting place for Embers and Spark was chosen to be at a clearing in the misty forest at the foot of the mountains west of Sera City.
When the figures of Landon, Roche and others appeared in the sight of the Embers Organization, Avis could already vaguely sense the subtle power fluctuations coming from the two of them.
It was obvious that both of them were hiding some of their strengths - most of the children of destiny would do so.
During this trip, the Spark Organization not only arranged for Roche and Landon to go, but also the head of this branch, the powerful sixth-level professional [Blazing Eagle] Newman.
At this time, when several people from Starfire arrived nearby, Avis, wearing a black cloak with the ember mark, slowly stepped out of the crowd and simply nodded to them.
Then, they sat down at a round rock table that had been prepared in the middle of the forest. Landon and Roche sat next to the person in charge, Newman, while two men in black robes also sat next to Avis.
A hazy magic barrier opened up, isolating the aura here.
At the same time, the dozen or so low-level members of the Embers and Spark organizations brought by the crowd dispersed on their own and served as checkpoints in the surrounding areas, alerting to any sudden situations in the surrounding environment.
"It's nice to meet you two from Starfire. You can call me Weiss."
After taking a close look at the three of them, Avis spoke calmly.
Although there is only one of his clones here, it is enough to see some things.
From his perception, the aura of the person in charge was ordinary, just an ordinary sixth-level person, but the other two people had their own hidden abilities.
There is a strong vitality hidden in Roche's body, and it is as endless as a towering tree, and it seems that even if he receives a fatal injury, he can recover instantly.
The aura hidden in Landon's body is like a dark abyss, which unconsciously affects people's consciousness and makes them tremble from the depths of their souls.
This power seems to be able to affect the souls of others. Although the intensity of the aura is relatively "weak", the essence of its power is extremely high.
In Avis's memory, Lanton in his previous life had a very strong and strange power. Now it seems that it was probably taught to him by Dark Crow, the 'portable grandfather'.
"Sir Weiss, it's a pleasure to meet you as well. You can call me Newman, he is Dunlan, and he is Roach."
Newman, dressed in a scarlet robe, nodded and gave Roche's name and the pseudonym that Landon had chosen when he joined Starfire.
"We are here this time in the hope of forming an alliance with your organization, gathering all our strength, and eliminating the people who are being oppressed by the kingdom's nobles."
Without any beating around the bush, Newman gets straight to the point.
"I'm sorry, Lord Newman, what I meant to say was 'save'."
Roche hastened to provide additional explanation.
"Also, forming an alliance is beneficial to both of us. Just like chopping down two trees at the same time is always more difficult than chopping down one tree, when we unite..."
On the side, Landon also began to recite the manuscript he had prepared earlier.
"Okay, no need to say more, I agree!"
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping his hands, Anvis nodded in a relaxed tone.
"We...what?"
Landon was about to say something else, but then he suddenly realized that the other party had just said he agreed. The content he was about to continue reciting was stuck in his throat. He looked at Newman, as if wanting to ask what he should do next.
"After all, a large part of the reason I came here this time is for this purpose. As for the specific details of the cooperation, my subordinates will discuss it with you."
Shaking his head, Avis stood up.
"The kingdom's nobles have oppressed us for too long, and now it has reached its limit. Although I really want to end it all with my own hands, our strength is still not enough."
"So, in this process, we welcome all fellow travelers, no matter how strong or weak they are, as long as they share the same goal as us, they will be our eternal allies."
As he spoke, Anvis raised his head and spoke in an excited tone, as if he was really fighting for the interests of the people of the Federation. Landon and Roche couldn't help but admire him.
"Besides that, there is one more thing. We have a special discovery that we need to warn you about. It is about the so-called construct network. You must pay attention to the threats it poses."
As he spoke, Anvis threw out another sensational news.
"Construction network?"
Newt looked at the other two and frowned slightly, showing some surprise and curiosity.
Although wars continue in many parts of the Federation, the construction network is still steadily spreading and even has a trend of developing faster and faster.
From what Landon had heard, once consciousness entered the constructed network, you could obtain all the good things in your dreams.
But in fact, this introduction is just to enable people who have never been exposed to the Internet to quickly understand the concept of building a network.
The name contains the word "network", and the essence of constructing a network is actually equivalent to a super-large permanent illusion magic that can connect the consciousness of many people together.
Since everything is illusory, people who access it can naturally obtain all the beautiful things they dream of.
For players, this is equivalent to building another virtual game within a virtual game.
"That's right. I'm not sure whether your top management knows about the construction network. But I must inform you in advance that there may be someone behind this."
Avis nodded and explained a little, but deliberately did not go into details.
“Also, our main funding comes from the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce.
If possible, I hope that when the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce's caravan enters your sphere of influence, you can protect their safety and avoid harassment from the bandits who call themselves a resistance organization.
Of course, in return, we can also promise that when the people who support your caravan pass through our sphere of influence, we will do our best to protect their safety."
When several kingdoms in the Federation announced tax increases, the big businessmen became sworn enemies with these kingdoms.
The nobles of the kingdom would have found it hard to imagine that the base of the resistance organization would be right under their noses in the city of Sera. Moreover, a large part of the funds for the organization's operation were donated by big businessmen who were dissatisfied with the kingdom.
As for the recent extortion and levying by the kingdom's high-ranking officials, the ones who suffered the most were actually the chambers of commerce themselves.
Even if ordinary civilians were plundered thoroughly, they would not be able to obtain many resources. In comparison, these chambers of commerce could be said to be extremely wealthy, and were naturally the best targets for exploitation.
As a result, many chambers of commerce suffered great misfortune. Not only did they lose all the wealth they had earned, but they even suffered losses.
…
After further discussing some details of the collaboration, Newman took his leave.
Looking at the backs of the people walking away, Avis gently raised his hand, and two tiny seeds of power appeared in his palm.
One contains vibrant vitality, the other is as deep as an abyss.
Due to the huge gap in rank, he easily extracted some of the power from Landon and Roche without attracting anyone's attention.
