Chapter 192 Choice

 Looking at this somewhat magical scene, Leah opened her eyes slightly, wanting to ask but not daring to speak out.

"That was a magical contract between me and other people. The time just came, so I just canceled it."

After smiling, Anvis briefly explained what had just happened, and then glanced at the medicinal herbs in the girl's hands.

"However, this is not something you should pay attention to. Use a new Dragon's Breath Grass and process it again until you can ensure successful completion of the process while being distracted."

Watching the girl continue to handle the alchemical plant in her hand, Anvis sat back in his seat, tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and began to think for a while.

Anvis also has a certain understanding of the character of the [Ring of Time and Space] Crown Prince Vernica.

The crystal on the pendant was shattered, indicating that Albins had been in contact with Vernica. And just like the development in the previous life, Vernica was very satisfied with him and even stepped forward to help him break the contract with him.

Due to the previous agreement between him and Albins, the latter's current identity is Oliwendi's guest. Although it is only in name, this also caused Vernica to have to think twice.

Maybe Vernica herself doesn't care, but because of her status as the Speaker of the Continental Magic Council, she not only represents herself, but also represents the Continental Magic Council behind her.

If Albins still retained this identity when he became her direct student, it would be equivalent to sending a signal to the outside world.

The Continental Magic Council showed goodwill to the Olivendi family.

It is impossible for Vernica to influence the Magic Council behind her due to her personal wishes.

Moreover, when Anvis made the contract with Albins, he used his personal identity rather than the identity of the Olivendi family.

Therefore, [The Ring of Time and Space] will probably send someone to write him a letter. As for the specific content of the letter... Anvis doesn't even need to predict it, he can guess it just by guessing.

I just hope that he can agree to terminate the guest contract, and maybe also promise to give some generous rewards.

But unfortunately, what he wants now is not these.

.….….

On the other side, in the pure white tower of Orathian, the city in the sky, a girl with black hair and silver eyes sat on the throne on the top floor of the tower, quietly reading the letter in her hand.

For a moment, she let go of the letter and let the paper fall from her fingers.

As it fell to the ground, the color of the letter began to darken rapidly, and its texture became fragile, as if it had spanned countless years.

In the end, the letter completely turned into dust the moment it touched the ground and melted into the rock.

There is nothing wrong with the letter itself. It was indeed written by Anvis himself recently.

However, the content of this letter was somewhat beyond her expectations.

In her letter to Anvis, she indeed expressed the hope that Albins' contract could be terminated, just as Anvis had guessed. The reward was nothing more than an opportunity for her to take action.

The request she made was not just based on her own identity.

The most important thing is that before he was seriously injured and went into seclusion, [Stargazer] Brunz had already warned her and [Secret Seeker] in advance: do not have any relationship with the four major families of the Gloria Empire!

At the same time, she also mentioned in her letter that Albins owed Avis a favor and hoped to cancel it.

As compensation, she can also agree to his request within her ability and without harming the interests of the Magic Council.

As a ninth-level extreme person, her one shot opportunity and one request were just in exchange for another Pamir student who was not even fourth level. Even for the descendants of the Olivendi family, this condition was already quite sincere.

Anvis did not refuse her request. On the contrary, in his reply, he expressed his great gratitude and fear to His Majesty the Ring of Time and Space for his kindness.

At the same time, Anwes promised that he would take the initiative to terminate the contract with Albins without any cost, just as a gift to congratulate his friend on his meteoric rise.

Standing up in silence, Vernica's eyes drifted into the distance.

The content of such a letter indicates that although the other party agrees to one of her requests, they are not prepared to accept her kindness.

In other words, this behavior means that the reason why Avis terminated the contract was not for her own benefit, but really for the sake of Albins' future.

Even regarding the second request, Anvis didn't mention anything in his reply, and it was obvious that he didn't want to agree to it.

In the heart of this little guy from the Olivendi family, his importance has reached this point? Even surpassing my favor?

Although she hit a soft nail, Vernica was not angry at all, she just felt a little ridiculous.

He didn't hesitate to reject the favor of a ninth-level peak powerhouse, just for a mere third-level spell caster?

"Okay, then let me see if your choice is correct."

Muttering to herself, Vernica took out a crystal ball, recorded the whole process of the incident, and then sent it to Albins.

No matter what Anwes thinks, it is a good thing for her students to have such friends.

.….….

In the days that followed, some members of the parliament could no longer stand the war in the Federation. So they intervened to temporarily calm down the major kingdoms in the Federation.

However, this approach is actually just to suppress it and does not solve the fundamental problem.

Because Avis sold the structures at almost a loss, many kingdoms thought they had a bargain to gain, so they had previously invested huge amounts of money in purchasing the structures, preparing to rely on war to recoup the costs.

And if a small kingdom purchases a large amount of structures, then its neighboring countries will have to hold their noses and buy the structures together even if they were not prepared to buy them before. Otherwise, if a war breaks out, one's own side will be very passive.

But now that the war has suddenly been suspended due to the intervention of the Parliament, these constructs have become a hot potato.

Unlike magic weapons made through alchemy, complex magical structures require maintenance.

Since they are all made of cheap materials, even if they are kept in the warehouse, they still need to be inspected and maintained regularly every year, and the worn and rusted parts need to be replaced.

Although under the influence of Anvis, the price of finished construction has dropped, the maintenance fee has not dropped at all. Even because many small construction factories went bankrupt and changed businesses, the price of wearing parts has increased a bit.

Many small kingdoms that had gritted their teeth and purchased the structure before were suddenly dumbfounded. Not only did they not have time to recoup their money, but they also incurred a painfully huge maintenance fee every year.

Let's sell some at a low price. Some small kingdoms want to sell at a low price. Under each other's pressure, the price is directly reduced to an extremely low level.

Even if some kingdoms can't stand it and want to collude to raise prices, there are always some people in the black market who sell almost unlimited quantities of various structures at the price of broadleaf lettuce.

There was mutual suspicion that the other party was pretending to stabilize prices and cut prices first to escape. Not long after this alliance was established, it completely collapsed and fell into a cycle of mutual price reductions again.

In the end, some kingdoms just gritted their teeth and refused to sell, preparing to hold out for a few years until the parliament no longer paid attention to the matter before starting the war again.

At the same time, in order to collect maintenance fees in the past few years, these small kingdoms can only start to find ways to mine high-value magic minerals within the territory, hunt high-value magical beasts, collect rare alchemical plants, etc., and then sell them in exchange for gold coins.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a simpler way - to increase taxes.
