Chapter 684: Valet
Based on Lanton's many tests in the resistance army, this spell-like effect is indeed worthy of its name.
It can subtly control the target's mind, making the other party willingly submit to you and regard you as the monarch.
And most importantly, the use of this spell is silent, and even if it fails, the opponent will hardly notice it.
However, this mental influence is not permanent, and if the influence is not reinforced after a period of time, the target is likely to get out of control.
Moreover, this type of spell is only suitable for use in daily environments. If you want to control your enemies on the battlefield, it will be much more difficult or even ineffective.
Landon had also secretly tried to control captured enemies, and the effect was somewhere between that in a daily environment and a battlefield environment. It could indeed make the enemy surrender, but the control time was obviously shorter than normal and was only suitable for interrogating intelligence.
According to Lanton's test results, this type of spell can only be effective against level 7 professionals at most. Perhaps when his strength increases in the future, the effect will be even stronger.
Landon kept all of this a secret, not even telling his teacher, the deputy leader of the resistance army, Shuster.
This is not because he is worried that others will be jealous of his treasures, but to protect the people around him.
Dark Crow had specifically reminded him that the origin of the book was obviously unusual, and even those ninth-order ultimate crowned ones wanted to fight for it. Once he was exposed, the entire Spark Organization would probably be destroyed by the ninth-order ones who came to seize the treasure.
After obtaining this book, Landon began to practice diligently.
The book had no name, but from its dark yellow cover, pages, and the shadowy figure in a ragged yellow robe that could be seen after opening the book, Langton named it "The Book in Yellow".
As Landon studied, he discovered another ability of the Yellow Book. When you carry it with you during meditation, your practice will be much faster.
From the time he obtained the book until now, he has successfully improved the coordination between his mental power and body, and his strength has been raised to the high level of the fifth level.
Controlling the Lord of Hanjing City was not originally part of the rebels' plan, but rather a private action by Landon.
The original order given to him by Deputy Legion Commander Shuter was to lead some elite resistance forces to disguise themselves as civilian professionals, temporarily lurk in the empire in the form of chambers of commerce, mercenary groups, etc., and wait for orders.
According to the plan, they may need to lurk in the empire for several years. If there is no cooperation from above during this period, accidents may easily occur.
According to the original plan, the rebels would move in under the name of the Federal Underground Chamber of Commerce and bribe the adjutant of the Lord of Hanjing City to turn a blind eye to their existence.
According to intelligence, the target is extremely greedy and lustful. As long as you cater to his wishes, he doesn't care about the addition of a gray force in the territory.
But out of caution, Lanton still managed to meet the Lord of Hanjing City and controlled him with [Submission], so as to cooperate with the rebels to better hide and avoid being discovered by the ruler of the Carlas Province, the Olivendi family.
Relying on the power of the "Yellow Book", the Lord of Hanjing City, who was as powerful as the seventh level, was unconsciously influenced by him and instinctively regarded him as his monarch.
At the same time, the resources and wealth originally used to bribe the city lord entered Landon's pocket in disguise.
In order to make his presence less conspicuous, with the cooperation of the Lord of Hanjing City, his current identity is a male servant in the castle, but he reports directly to the Lord himself.
This was the advice given to him by Dark Crow. Although Dark Crow's tone was a little strange at the time, Lanton did not think much about it.
It turned out that the effect was quite good. No one doubted his origins. At most, the servants in the castle looked at him strangely.
"Landon, you are here!"
At this time, two girls wearing dashing light armor and combat cloaks, with swords at their waists, entered the room led by servants.
Both girls were very beautiful. One of them had burning golden-red eyes and long wavy red-gold hair, while the other had black hair and purple eyes, with a little baby fat on her cheeks, making her look pure and cute.
“Alyssa, Lanny, you are here!”
Seeing the two girls coming, Landon quickly stood up from the bed.
“It’s so beautiful here!”
There were a large number of famous paintings and elven artworks in the city lord's bedroom. The girl with purple eyes looked at the gorgeous furnishings in the room with some amazement, but Alyssa, who was born into a noble family, didn't feel anything.
"Is there any new news from the teacher, Lani? And how is my sister Leah's health now?"
After activating the soundproof barrier in the room, Landon looked at the two girls.
"Your sister is currently recovering well, with no signs of a recurrence of the crystallization disease. Under the guidance of Master Leo, she has officially broken through and become a fourth-level professional. She has even mastered a special spell called [Crystalization Ray]."
When it comes to Leah, Alyssa's eyes can't help but flash with amazement. The talent of that girl is extremely extraordinary even in her eyes.
"Father has learned that you have successfully infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion. He hopes that you can pay attention to the intelligence about the Olivendi family's movements, but you must do so under the premise of ensuring your own safety.
If things go wrong, activate this amulet immediately and he will come to help you escape."
The black-haired, purple-eyed girl spoke softly, and handed a talisman to Landon. In the process, she accidentally brushed Landon's finger, and both of them blushed slightly.
She is Lannie Gallo, the only daughter of Landon's teacher, the deputy commander of the resistance army, Shuter Gallo. She was rescued from the ruins by Landon by accident and fell in love with him afterwards.
"Don't worry, I'm safe here, and I will do my best to investigate the information the teacher wants!"
Hearing this, Landon patted his chest and assured the two girls.
Although he could not reveal the news that he had controlled the city lord, it was still okay to hint that he was in a safe situation.
But what he didn't expect was that the two girls' reactions were completely different from what he expected.
"…Well, Landon, you really don't have to make such a big sacrifice. Even just a monetary bribe should be enough."
Thinking of the city lord's sturdy and fat figure, a complex look suddenly flashed in Alyssa's eyes, a little reluctant, and a little hesitant to speak.
"Woo woo, Brother Landon, I understand... You are doing this for the safety of the resistance army, I will never despise you!"
When mentioning this, Lannie's eyes welled up with tears and her tone sounded somewhat touching.
"What are you... talking about? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
Even if he was slow, Landon now realized that something was wrong.
"Father has already known that you were favored by the Lord of Hanjing City and became his personal servant..."
As she spoke, Lannie's voice dropped uncontrollably, and her cheeks turned red, almost steaming.
"I understand your struggle, Landon. You are a true hero. For the sake of intelligence, you are willing to sacrifice your life to serve the Lord of Frost Crystal City! Don't worry. We have nothing but admiration for your actions."
Alyssa spoke with the same solemn expression, and at the same time expressed her highest respect to Landon.
"You...what on earth are you talking about?!"
Looking at the two girls, Landon was stunned.
And out of sight of the three, Avis was stunned by what he heard.
Is Landon having such an exciting time now? . ….…. (End of this chapter)
