Chapter 454 Control and Relics
Is the man in the mirror meeting Mrs. Mandel? And can we have afternoon tea together?
Logically speaking, as the leader of the Ember Organization, the people of the Glory Alliance should not be so friendly with him.
Putting this doubt in his heart for the time being, Gallo looked at the two Langtons and asked carefully for some details.
"So, you just said that when the poisonous snake humiliated you, the mysterious person whose identity was suspected to be the person in the mirror suddenly transmitted some kind of message to the poisonous snake, so she changed her mind?"
"Yes, she asked me to take out a book from the ruins. According to her, its cover material is similar to skin, and there is an eyeball embedded in the center."
Langton nodded and described in detail based on the news he heard at that time.
"...Eyeballs, skin?"
After recalling it carefully, Gallo finally shook his head.
"I will report this matter to the chief."
There is no way, as a professional from civilian background, Gallo's knowledge level is much lower than that of those nobles. Little is known about the specific information about these legendary treasures left in history.
However, even though he didn't know it, he knew who to go to.
Unlike him, who relied entirely on adventure and experience to become a talented person, Leader Leo had studied at the Empire's School of Advanced Professionals, and he must have understood what it was.
"So, do you have any other news that you need to report?"
"No more, Mr. Gallo."
Langton shook his head and respectfully took Freya away.
After leaving Gallo's room, the roar of the Dark Crows was deafening in his mind.
"That's the Infinite Grimoire of Heros!! A nine-level extreme growth magic item! It claims to record all the secret knowledge in the world!
That is to say, Heros was too low-key back then, so not many people really knew about this book. Otherwise, it will definitely get the epic concept now and become a truly epic item! "
"...Of course, it's also possible that Heros died too early, and it was too late to spread its reputation."
After muttering something softly, Dark Crow's mental fluctuations turned into a roaring form again.
"No matter what method you use, Langton, you must get it! It must belong to you!"
"Your Majesty Dark Crow...that is what the eighth-level powerful men want. And now that the top leaders of the organization know about it, maybe even the ninth-level leaders will be interested in it.
In this case, how can I get it? "
Being a little dizzy by the roar of the Dark Crow, Langton's face turned bitter, and he also poured out the bitter water to the Dark Crow.
"...I don't care about that. If you want to become stronger as soon as possible and gain your place in the coming troubled times without leaving the fate of yourself and those around you in the hands of others, then you must obtain it!"
Of course, Dark Crow actually knew that his request was a bit overwhelming.
So, after complaining again, he changed the topic.
"Indeed, your current strength is still a little weaker. But for your current strength, I just have a way to temporarily improve your strength."
As he spoke, Dark Crow's mental fluctuations suddenly revealed a kind of fanatical emotion.
"When my body was still alive, I once discovered a brand new alien power in an experimental accident.
This power has very powerful characteristics. It can directly affect the soul, and it has extremely powerful destructive power on the existing soul. I named it the power of apoptosis.
Remember the first little trick I taught you, the Horrible Gaze? That is the result of mobilizing a little bit of the lower power aura of the power of apoptosis. "
After giving a warm reminder, Dark Crow felt the surprise in Langton's spirit and felt a little proud.
"Now, your strength has reached the fourth level. If you can master this power in a short time, it will at least enhance your self-protection ability."
"Would it be difficult to master this kind of power?"
Langton asked with some uncertainty.
"Difficult? Hehehe..."
Sensing Langton's doubts, Dark Crow smiled strangely.
"If the person who learns this power is not you, but other ordinary fourth-level people, then even if you give them another month, I don't think they have any possibility of mastering the power of apoptosis.
Even for you, in a few days, you can only use it a little bit. But even so, its power is enough for you to pose a threat to the sixth level. "
"But you can do that with advanced constructs as well."
"Don't compare that idiot's toy with the power of apoptosis!"
Langton muttered something in his mind, and then he was almost stunned by the roar of the Dark Crow.
On the other side, Gallo, who had learned the news, had already found the leader Leo and told him all the information Langton told him.
"……Ok, I see."
After hearing the news told by Gallo, Leo nodded, and couldn't help but believe a little more in the information about the commander of the Second Ember Legion who wanted to take refuge.
If the leader of the Ember Organization really betrayed him on the battlefield, then he would just adapt to the situation and accept the other party's subordinates.
"The book you are talking about should be the Infinite Grimoire of Horos, which was refined by the Speaker of the Ancient Magic Empire [the Source of All Laws] Horos.
Not to mention the eighth level, even if I am the ninth level, I will still be tempted by it. "
Speaking calmly, Leo spread some knowledge for his right-hand man.
"However, it is not clear how many people know this news. If too many people know it, then there will be a war."
"Of course, if this news is true, we will not give up. I will go out in person to prevent it from falling into the hands of other organizations."
"Also, leader, I always feel that there may be some problems with the man in the mirror."
After thinking about it, Gallo mentioned it with some worry.
"Don't worry, Gallo, I have been prepared. No matter what choice he makes, it will not be a threat to us."
When Leo mentioned this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"Remember, the long night is over, and the dawn is coming-"
"I understand, leader!"
Seeing Leo's performance, Gallo immediately became confident.

….….
A few days passed again, and Anvis stood on a small hill on the side of the Milvila Basin, looking far away in the direction of the basin.
At this time, the situation in the basin was normal.
Several player teams were hunting monsters and chasing a fleeing shadow warthog, but they accidentally encountered a group of pigs and were knocked over by the pigs.
A caravan was temporarily stationed on one side of the basin. The guards and the guys disbanded one after another. Some went to hunt for the main course for lunch, and some rested and chatted around a small campfire.
Although it seemed to be calm for the time being, the web of fate here had begun to produce a vortex.
For Avis, this was not just a simple treasure hunt, but also a fuse that would eventually detonate the current situation of the Federation that was like a barrel of explosives.
While other resistance organizations were attacking cities and territories during this period, the Embers Organization was also attacking, but the speed of advancement was relatively slow.
It was completely incomparable to the Spark and the Sun's Glory. Even the fourth-ranked Moon Mystery Society had surpassed the Embers Organization in the number of kingdoms it had conquered.
But Avis did not really do nothing. In fact, he turned from the open to the dark and began to control the top leaders of the major kingdoms in secret.
His control method is also very simple: either cooperate with him, sign a short-term master-servant contract, and become a subordinate member of the Embers Organization, or die immediately.
In the future, when he issues an order, those who sign the contract must fully cooperate with the Embers Organization members to capture the capital and destroy the original royal family. When the kingdom changes hands one month later, the contract will automatically end.
Passive resistance is impossible, the contract is mandatory, and the most serious backlash is enough to make their souls collapse.
Since he did not directly attack the royal family of any country, those who were temporarily controlled by him did not show any abnormality on the surface.
Under this operation, the number of kingdoms lost has not increased on the surface, but these small kingdoms that seem to be normal on the surface can be occupied by an order from Avis at any time.
Together with the small kingdoms that have been occupied by other organizations, the number of kingdoms controlled by the rebels is enough to exceed 30% of the total.
