"I am ready to participate as a competitor in the battle for the throne between my brother and sister."
Lan Nuo's tone was still calm, but the content was earth-shattering.
"So, I hope to get your support, Lord Anvis."
"Is that what you say about this kind of thing?"
Glancing at Lan Nuo, Anvis didn't make any response.
"Don't worry, this is the word spirit sealing ring given to me by the royal guardian [Guardian of the Stars]. Under the protection of its 'secrecy' rules, the content of our conversations cannot be detected by others."
Lan Nuo took off his left glove and showed Anvis a ring shining with stars on the little finger of his left hand.
"...Then, I can tell you that the Olivendi family will not support any prince in the struggle for imperial power. Even if you come to me, it will be useless."
Looking at the ring in surprise, Avis gave Lanno a vaccination in advance to prevent him from having any illusions about using him to gain support from the Olivendi family.
"...Although it is a pity that I can't get the support of the Olivendi family, I didn't have much hope at first. After all, my eldest brother and fourth sister have probably already tried."
Lan Nuo shook his head.
"I have already said that I am here to gain your personal support."
"I am just an ordinary fourth-level mystical scholar, His Highness Lan Nuo."
In response to Lan Nuo's invitation, Anvis looked calm, and his words conveyed the meaning of "please invite someone else."
"An 'ordinary fourth-level mystical scholar' who can ask high-level prophets to punish the Eternal Gold Club, command unknown powerful men to suppress the priests of alien gods in the glorious secret realm, and even face ancient existences and still return to the mainland safely?"
Lan Nuo's words brought a bit of aristocratic sarcasm.
"Those are just rumors and cannot be taken seriously."
Anvis directly denied it. After all, he had never instigated anyone, and he had never really faced the ancient existence directly. There were old secret scriptures in the way.
"Once or twice may be a coincidence or accident, but if a coincidence happens too many times, it is no longer a coincidence, Mr. Anvis.
If I were facing other descendants of the four major families, I might not say these words to them, but the feeling you give me is completely different from them."
Facing Anvis, who was determined to pretend to be confused, Lan Nuo pursed his lips and simply showed off his cards.
"I can tell you the truth, Anvis. In fact, I have now won the support of the reformist nobles of the empire, including several marquis who are still neutral.
And you have also seen the ninth-level ring given to me by [Guardian of the Stars], you should understand what this means."
"You are telling me this now, aren't you afraid that I will spread the word later?"
Glancing at Lan Nuo's handsome face with a playful expression, Anvis turned around and leaned slightly on a rock pillar beside him that was carved with a vine pattern.
"Would it do you any good to spread the word?"
Lan Nuo shrugged and analyzed it nonchalantly.
"And, even if you spread the word, so what? Every prince has a lot of rumors and gossip circulating in the outside world. But the details of what I just said are not even as complete as some of the rumors from the outside world.
If it is really exposed, it can only mean that something went wrong on my side."
"interesting……"
After a moment of silence, Anvis' eyes became slightly serious.
"Then, let's make it clearer. What support do you want from me when you come to me?"
"I remember that in our previous secret agreement, you could provide me with some 'necessary' high-level professional power and help me share the pressure from my brother."
Lan Nuo smiled slightly, with a bit of slyness in his expression.
"Well, first of all, I hope to get the help of a sufficiently high-level prophet. Otherwise, I will be in a very passive situation facing the prophets behind other royal brothers and sisters.
Secondly, I need a strong man whose existence is unknown to the outside world to secretly protect my personal safety and avoid being assassinated by some 'bandits'.
Also, now I clearly belong to the faction that supports my fourth sister. When I become independent, a larger part of the reformist nobles who currently support my fourth sister but are not completely satisfied with her ideas will switch sides.
My camp.
I heard that Fiona has a good relationship with my fourth sister, and you have a very good relationship with her, so I hope you can help and ask her to mediate for me to prevent my fourth sister from being upset because of this matter.
Has a grudge against me.
After all, I hope to join forces with her in the future to fight against my eldest brother and the Aslade family."
"You're really rude."
Anvis also laughed.
"But you should know that there is no free lunch in the world, right?"
"Of course, Avis."
Lan Nuo nodded.
"In the process of dealing with other nobles, I learned a truth. The interest relationship may not be the best relationship, but it is one of the most unbreakable relationships.
For your help, I will naturally give you corresponding thanks. If you need anything now, Anvis, you can also tell me."
"This matter is of great importance. I need some time to think about it, Lanno."
After pondering for a moment, Avis still did not immediately reply to Langton.
"And, I have a question, how is your relationship with those strangers?"
"Those strangers?"
Mentioning this, Lan Nuo looked a little troubled.
"To be honest, I have also tried privately to form a force composed mainly of foreigners, but the effect was not good.
The vast majority of those foreigners do not want to be restrained, and there are almost no checks and balances. They have no families or relatives, and all their actions are to make money and become stronger.
Although they are also attracted to the opposite sex, the firmness of this emotion is questionable when the fundamental structure of the body is different. I cannot truly trust them and can only use benefits as bait to attract them to work for me.
As for the loose rules of your conclave, they don't really apply to me.
But now, as they become stronger and stronger, in my opinion, their existence poses a very great potential danger to the empire."
"I understand, I will give you an answer within three days."
Nodding, Anvis finally brought the conversation to an end.
.
….….
Watching Lan Nuo leave, Avis thought about Lan Nuo's condition and considered how to help him.
Lannuo's early start in this life actually has the shadow of gray fog behind it.
Relying on the help of Gray Mist and the new nobles in the empire, Lan Nuo has secretly gained a power that cannot be underestimated.
But now, Gray Mist was unexpectedly taken away by a group of stargazers.
Therefore, in this era after the gray fog disappeared, the series of influences he had carefully designed have become ownerless things.
