Chapter 641 The Situation Changed
As Gloria III claimed, since that noble meeting, no one in the empire had seen Gloria III again.
No matter what happened, the only person responsible for handling it was the consul temporarily arranged by the emperor. Even many princes and princesses could no longer see the emperor.
As this situation continued, a large number of rumors began to circulate in private gatherings among the nobles.
Some people said that Gloria III's abnormal behavior was due to some kind of injury in the sudden battle in the previous heads of state meeting, which forced him to retreat and recuperate.
This is very imaginative. As a ninth-level strongman standing at the top of the entire empire, what kind of injury could force Gloria III to retreat and recuperate?
Some people also believe that the emperor is just pretending, pretending that he needs to recuperate as an excuse to deliberately avoid the conflict between the four major families and many marquises.
This theory seems to be tenable, after all, everyone saw the confrontation between Duke Karlas and many marquises at that time.
Although the meeting was aborted due to Gloria III's sudden announcement of recuperation, the conflict between the two camps was far from over.
The above two are the most widely recognized rumors in private.
There are many other more sensational gossips, such as the current Gloria III is actually just a substitute, and the real emperor is dead; or the emperor is secretly trying to break through the legendary level under the pretext of recuperation.
However, these news are only circulated in some secret clubs. As for the real truth, I am afraid only Gloria III himself knows.
During this period, Duke Carrot was in a difficult situation.
Many marquises rarely joined together. Except for two marquises who were originally close to the Olivendi family, they did not clearly stand on the side this time. Others, including the neutral marquises, all stood on the side of Draka this time.
But at this time, even if there is no clear side, Carrot dare not trust it completely. What if the other party suddenly jumps back?
Seven ninth-rank marquises are a huge force that no one can ignore.
Indeed, the total number of ninth-rank marquises of the two families of Olivendi and Alfred would still exceed the seven marquises, but the reality is never a simple comparison of numbers.
Unless the two families intend to destroy each other at all costs, the result of that is that they will also be seriously injured and eventually be picked up by other foreign enemies.
During this period, Duke Carrot tried to privately test the mouths of the Enoch family and the Aslade family on this matter, but the responses they received were similar.
They can support the Olivendi family, but the Olivendi family must share the true secret of the "star".
It is true that the four major families of the empire usually unite to the outside world, but this time it is a pure power struggle within the Gloria Empire, and it is far from enough to reach the level of destroying the Olivendi family, so there is no reason for the other two duke families to help immediately.
Moreover, Fiona, who is suspected to be the prophecy star, has just appeared before, and now Anvis is suspected to be related to a high-level prophet. Does the Olivendi family want to go to heaven?
If there is no clear response, then the Enoch family and the Aslade family would really like to see Olivendi weakened.
After hearing this response, Carlot knew that the other two families probably couldn't be counted on this time.
Although Carlot privately speculated about the object of the prophecy, there is no doubt that no matter which result it is, it is a top secret that cannot be shared, and the Alfred family will never agree.
So, without any signs, some private frictions began to occur in the empire.
Unlike the small fights initiated by the Hengjin Club, the frictions between the two duke families and many marquises, even if they are still restrained, still affect most of the Gloria Empire.
The sudden change of the empire first affected the many underground forces of the empire.
Any disturbance will be quickly magnified in the black world. A large number of seemingly independent organizations were wiped out overnight, and then evidence of their connection with a certain family or a certain marquis was found.
The thieves' guilds, assassin organizations and other chaotic camps in various places are all filled with a large number of task lists, which cover all the subordinates of several marquises and two major families.
With neither of the ninth-level people on both sides personally involved, the situation in the Gloria Empire has become somewhat chaotic.
In such a situation, some small and medium-sized nobles and students from professional academies in various places have also taken advantage of the chaos to develop their own forces.
Gloria III ignored the government affairs, and the dukes and marquises were busy fighting each other. It was a good time to fish in troubled waters.
Under the influence of this situation, the students of Pamir Academy were no exception.
Among the friends that Anvis knew, Prince Lanno has obviously become a little busy recently, and the descendants of several other major families are similar. They are all taking the opportunity to manage their own forces and erode the interests that originally belonged to others and were not convenient to touch in peacetime.
Even the Secret Ceremony and the Ever Gold Crown Chamber of Commerce under Anvis himself have also attracted a lot of prying eyes recently, but because Anvis' previous record was too brilliant, most people dare not try it easily.
After learning about the subsequent changes in the situation in the empire, Anvis, who was far away in the Itel Federation, couldn't help but remain silent.
He founded the Circle of Truth and destroyed the Sky City at a critical moment, causing the stargazers of the Magic Council to fall into a deep sleep due to the backlash. The rebel organization that originally caused the turmoil in the empire was also nipped in the bud and had to flee to the Federation for development.
All these changes prevented the Holy Light Church and the Magic Council from intervening, and the Glorious Alliance was directly established in the Itel Kingdom Federation. The situation in the Gloria Empire, which should have been turbulent, remained relatively stable.
But now, he has become the fuse that started the turmoil.
Although it is not clear why Gloria III retreated, the fact is that many marquises have no idea what they rely on and openly began to fight against the two major families. This is almost a falling out.
Without Gloria III intervening, no party will voluntarily give in. And it is not convenient for the Ninth Order to take action personally, and there is a high probability that it will evolve into a long-term situation of turmoil.
He did change the empire, but fate changed back from another angle.
.
….….
However, when Anvis was studying the situation in the empire, an unexpected situation came to him.
Albins, who had been accepted as a student by Vernika of the [Ring of Space and Time] and went to the Continental Magic Council for further studies for a long time without any news, suddenly contacted Anvis and asked him to meet at the [Magic Light] Hotel in the imperial capital.
