Chapter 420 Golden Crystal
Soon, with the development of all parties, the time came to the second half of the year, the Cold Star Month. (November)
Winter is coming, and the cold wind sweeps the dry fallen leaves, blowing through the bluestone streets of Silver Moon City, making the pedestrians on the road unable to help but wrap their coats a little tighter.
The small vendors and newsboys are still shouting loudly, selling their respective goods, and the wooden wheels of the magic carriage rumble through the middle of the road, bringing up dust all the way.
At this time, the number of people in Silver Moon City has increased a lot, and many of them are foreign travelers who came here to escape the war.
Compared to half a year ago, due to the deliberate indulgence of many senior officials, the current situation in the Federation has become more chaotic.
The effect of Anvis's previous low-price sale of military constructs has now been partially revealed.
When several small kingdoms bought sufficient armaments at the bottom price, their neighbors had to pinch their noses and buy a large number of constructs together, forming an arms race for a short time.
This is a severe test for the kingdom's finances. In addition, buying so many structures is not just for display. The cost of maintenance and upkeep is also a considerable amount.
The gunpowder smell between many small kingdoms has become more intense, and some small-scale wars have broken out from time to time on the border.
Some larger kingdoms not only do not interfere, but even fan the flames behind the scenes, and the major construction chambers of commerce have made a lot of money from the war.
What has added fuel to the fire is the appearance of players. A large group of players who are afraid of chaos in the world are everywhere, which directly raises the intensity of friction to a higher level.
Disguised as an enemy assassin, assassinating the descendants of the kingdom's high-level officials with disposable high-powered props are all routine operations for players.
The war plot that lasted for half a year in the Federation made the players very happy and satisfied their addiction to magic war.
Among them, many large guilds and clubs have gathered people to gain more benefits by manipulating the direction of local wars.
"Teacher Vio, there is the latest news about my brother in the newspaper!"
The silver-haired girl Leah, wearing a veil, came back to the store excitedly with a copy of the federal newspaper from outside, her tone a little excited.
"Really, Leah, is there any new news in the newspaper? Please read it to me?"
Behind the counter, Avis was lying on a comfortable rocking chair with his face up, a cup of Silver Star juice with a straw suspended beside him, his posture was very comfortable.
Heard the girl's voice, he did not get up, just asked casually.
"Well! The newspaper said that my brother escaped the search of the guards again, and his strength broke through the fourth level, which seems to be related to the help of the [Spark] resistance organization."
Liya nodded, walked to Avis, and began to read obediently.
"Also, the popularity of the construction network is getting higher and higher. Its users have exceeded one million, and the sales points are officially spread throughout the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Every city in the kingdom can buy the access headband of the construction network."
"Several members of parliament were suddenly assassinated by an unknown assassin. The assassin is very powerful and has disappeared..."
Listening to the news from the girl, Avis gradually began to think about the current situation.
Before, after escaping, Landon seemed to have come back from afar once.
But when he saw that his sister Leah was safe, he did not risk contacting her. He just quietly left a letter with magic to report his safety and the reason for his disappearance.
After receiving the letter, Leah turned from anxiety to worry, and studied harder every day.
She was originally just an ordinary civilian girl, and did not understand the various knowledge of professionals. At most, she only knew some common sense.
But now, her brother has suddenly become an assassin who assassinated Earl Silver Leaf, and is still wanted by the whole kingdom.
This change of identity caused her to change accordingly, and she had to work hard to make herself stronger so as not to drag her brother down.
As a student, Leah was very smart and could quickly master the knowledge taught by Avis.
After all, she was the sister of Landon, the son of destiny, and with her special physique after recovering from the crystal disease, if she were in the empire, her talent would be enough to be admitted to the Pamir Academy.
While Leah was learning magic, Avis also monitored Landon's specific whereabouts through his own channels.
Although he fled all the way, he was not in great danger due to his indomitable fighting spirit.
When there were a large number of enemies, he would use Freya's power to escape. In a one-on-one situation, he would be beaten first, and then win after being beaten half to death. If he couldn't win again, he would break through directly in the battle.
Avis even doubted whether he could also upgrade through experience.
The most dangerous time was when Landon was chased by the people sent by the enemies of the Dark Crow and the guards of the Silver Moon Kingdom at the same time. In the end, it was Landon who found a way to make both sides mistakenly think that the other party was his accomplice, so that he could escape.
Recently, Landon joined a famous resistance organization [Spark], and with the help of that organization, he temporarily avoided the official search of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Yes, that was the Spark organization that had suffered a series of blows and had to flee from the empire.
The chaotic situation in the Federation is the best soil for the development and growth of resistance organizations.
Although the Spark was seriously injured, its foundation is still there. Recently, it has gradually developed in the Federation, absorbed a large number of new members, and has recovered a lot.
At the same time, a large-scale assassination of high-level professionals suddenly broke out in the Federation recently.
After the Empire's investigation, the identities and current locations of most members of the Door to the Eye have been ascertained.
Therefore, the True Knowledge Society gathered several ninth-level members and quickly launched a large-scale assassination operation.
The Door to the Eye was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Many members died, and the rest who survived by chance were in danger and no longer cared about the outside world, but hibernated.
After the girl finished reading, Avis nodded, took out a small wooden box from the ring, and motioned the girl to take it with his eyes.
"A little gift for you, hold it in your hand during meditation, it should be of some help to you."
"What is...?"
Leah took the box curiously, opened it, and found that there was a fist-sized crystal with a faint golden halo inside.
Looking at its halo, the girl suddenly felt that her mental power seemed to have slowly increased a little.
"This crystal must be a very precious thing... Teacher just gave it to me like this."
Holding the crystal, Leah hesitated. Just looking at it can improve her mental strength. This crystal must be a very precious treasure.
"Don't worry too much. Landon's strength has already broken through the fourth level. As my student, your strength cannot be pulled too far. It's better to give it to you. It should be of great help to you now."
Anweisi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, sucking a mouthful of silver juice, with an expression of indifference.
"And even if I keep it, it's useless. I just use it to feed the cat occasionally."
"Feed, feed the cat?"
Leah was stunned. She didn't expect to get such an answer.
She still knew cats. They were cute, fluffy, and curious little animals.
But it's impossible to use such a precious crystal to feed cats... Let's take a step back. Will cats really eat this kind of thing?
