Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes Chapter 681: 199: Drinking Tea and Reading the Newspaper

Chapter 681: Chapter 199: Drinking Tea and Reading the Newspaper

After witnessing Landon studying the Magic Book, Anvis sowhat understood what was likely to happen next in the Resistance Army’s normal course of fate.

As long as he doesn’t beat Landon to it by prematurely emptying those Royal Family’s hidden caches, the Resistance Army could fully arrange for people to be stationed at the locations of each cache in advance and then make a big move.

With the information and Spells obtained by Landon, the chances of the Resistance Army succeeding are quite high.

And of course, he wouldn’t do such a thing, because after all, those are the Empire Family’s belongings. The Resistance Army and the Royal Family are mortal enemies; it wouldn’t matter if they stole from them, but as a mber of the Olivendi Family, it would not be appropriate for him to act.

Most of the caches contain resources ant for supplying large military troops, and there aren’t any highly valuable goods hidden within them. For Anvis, provoking the Royal Family over these resources would be more detrintal than beneficial.

The most ingenious part is that due to the Emperor’s sudden disappearance, the princes and princesses, who are busy fighting for power, do not have the ti to pay attention to the ‘minor irritations’ caused by the Resistance Army’s unrest in the populace, leaving the nobility to deal with it themselves.

In other words, the situation for the Resistance Army is quite safe at the mont, and their future looks promising.

Having seen all this, Anvis promptly left.

This seed inconsistent with his Identity, as allowing the Resistance Army to act freely is dangerous and could potentially lead to further unrest in Karlars Province in the future.

But in fact, Anvis has no intention of interfering with the normal progression of the Resistance Army’s fate.

As an Eighth Rank Prophet, the Starfire Resistance Army, which has established countless ties with him, is not actually an enemy, but rather an important force that he can influence and utilize.

He had previously set up the Embers Organization under the guise of Mirror Man and then pretended to defect to the Glory Alliance, specifically borrowing the na of the Truth Circle to integrate most of the Embers Organization into the Starfire – these actions were not without reason.

Currently, due to their cleared identities, those high-ranking officers of the Embers Organization who have defected on their own initiative have also made their way into the managent of the Starfire Organization.

Anvis still maintains contact with these forr mbers of the Embers Organization. With his covert support, these individuals have beco a major faction within the Starfire Organization, on par with the other three major factions.

The reason there are multiple factions is that it’s not just Anvis who sees value in the Starfire Organization; behind each faction stands a different High Rank Prophet.

.….….

In the months following the establishnt of the Empire’s upper house, the situation within the Empire remained ‘calm’.

The war had ended, and under the diation and intervention of the Royal Family, the two large families and marquises have ceased fighting. No matter how much friction remained in the dark, at least on the surface, they absolutely prohibited the restart of a full-scale war.

The Resistance Army mbers hiding in various cities, who were being covertly monitored by Anvis, also behaved exceptionally well, seemingly just like those grey underground Chamber of Comrce organizations that conducted sowhat illegal business but still paid full taxes.

The opportunity for the “Yellow Robe Book” to leave Landon should also happen soon.

In the study of the City Lord Mansion of Silver Star City, Anvis leisurely sat behind the spacious mahogany desk, holding a copy of the “Empire Morning News,” perusing the headlines of today’s newspaper.

A plate of vibrant red tea and several delicate pastries floated before him, the fragrant aroma of the tea wafting through the room, delighting the senses.

After several months of observation, Annie has beco more competent lately, so Anvis, using the excuse of training her abilities, handed a large amount of daily affairs to her to handle while he himself was responsible for supervising her work, as well as slacking off, drinking tea, and reading the newspaper.

[The Overlap Area expands again, where will the future of the Empire go?]

[The Federation Council restarts the chanical Network project, wary of the Councilman’s sche!]

[The Empire’s upper house passes resolution to lift restriction on certain Magic-guided chanical!]

…

Flipping through the news, Anvis swiftly extracted and organized the information he needed from the lines, and started to conjecture based on the other information he already knew.

About the phenonon of the Overlap Area, it had been singled out for discussion as a key point during the tripartite summit of the heads of states.

However, due to so real-world factors, the Gloria Empire plunged into civil war soon after the conference ended, leaving almost no Ninth Rank to deal with those overlapping areas.

Moreover, since managing the Overlap Area is a thankless task, and the areas can aid in the birth of ‘Contactor’, many nobles even deliberately allowed the existence of Overlap Areas in their territories, which led to the further spread of the phenonon.

As for the chanical network headband, it was a sudden decision announced by the Yiter Federal Council.

In a previous speech to the public, the Councilman explicitly stated that as the Federation chanical headbands kept circulating underground despite prohibitions, and unscrupulous rchants were mixing the real with the fake, many tragedies had occurred.

To combat the illegal sale of chanical network headbands among the populace, the Council reopened the public sale of chanical headbands!

People could purchase 100% genuine headbands from legal channels, and this ti the headbands were absolutely safe and harmless!

Upon hearing the news, the public’s desire to purchase was very enthusiastic, after all, it was a product endorsed officially, guaranteed to work, unlike those dubious headbands sold in secret by black rchants.

As for whether it’s really safe and harmless… they were originally aiming to stimulate their talents to beco Professionals by using the headbands, and if they were truly completely safe and harmless, they wouldn’t buy them.

Below this news, the author of the news article even lauded the Council’s sage decision, effectively striking at the root and completely disrupting the black market headband trafficking chain.

The cri rate of illegal headband trafficking in the Federation has greatly decreased and may beco history!

“What a quick and effective solution, just turn the illegal into legal, and the cri rate drops instantly. It seems the new Councilman is quite adept at governing the Federation.”

Anvis watched the news with a slightly odd look, flicked the newspaper, and ntally gave the Federation Council a thumbs-up.

“Lord Boli, the task you assigned has been completed…”

At this mont, a discordant and sowhat breathless voice interrupted Anvis’s reading.

Annie, already dressed in the City Lord’s Deputy uniform and with faint dark circles under her eyes, her arms full of a stack of docunts nearly half her height, placed them on Anvis’s desk, looking exhausted.

“Well done, I might have a look later. For now, take these away; these are the projects you will need to review next.”

Casually sipping from the floating cup of tea next to him, Anvis waved his hand, and the large stack of docunts that Annie had brought instantly floated to a corner of his desk.

Then, he snapped his fingers and, with a puff of white smoke and a ‘bang’, a stack of docunts, equally high and awaiting review, instantly appeared in front of Annie.

“Work hard, these are all very important territorial affairs, you must review and handle them carefully; otherwise, it could damage the Lord’s interests.”

Looking at Annie’s stunned expression and pale face, Anvis had a satisfied smile.

“Don’t make that face, be happy. Didn’t you previously really want to beco my assistant? You’ve even been secretly observing the details of my work, wanting to learn how to manage the territories.

Now the Lord has allowed you to beco my deputy, so you can learn from openly, you have obtained what you wished for. You may leave now, go work, make every minute of your ti generate more value!

And one more thing, rember to close the door on your way out!”

Anvis’s lecture left poor Annie no choice but to hug the stack of docunts before her, then obediently leave the room, carefully closing the door behind her.

Standing bewildered at the door of the study, with her pale green eyes staring blankly at the docunts in her hands, Annie suddenly began to doubt her life.

All she wanted was to prevent Deputy Boli from overshadowing the Lord. How did things end up like this?
