The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

"I know everything..."

"Actually, I've always known that the decline of the Rema family was a foregone conclusion. But I just couldn't accept it... I wanted to do my part for the family."

"Have you thought about how you can help?" Ryan asked.

Maggie was speechless for a moment when asked the question. After thinking for a long time, she said quietly, "Study magic hard... and then defeat that bastard Gorn."

“Ghosn is just an ordinary person. Judging by strength, you now have the ability to kill him. However, you still can't touch him, not even a hair on his head.”

Ryan's words were sharp, hitting Maggie's weak spot immediately.

She bit her lip in frustration.

Ryan could tell that although Maggie talked about revitalizing the family, the only way she could think of was to study hard and become stronger.

Her magical talent is at a decent level; perhaps by the time she graduates from the magic academy, she will possess considerable strength.

However, this kind of growth takes too long.

Perhaps by the time she graduates, the Rema family will have been completely swallowed up by the Lancy family.

That's why she felt so powerless when Ghosn humiliated her.

"Today, the Lancy family has almost monopolized all the important industries in the entire city of Anseth."

"Farmland, smelting, forging... and along with it came enormous wealth, ample armed forces, and powerful mage retainers. Based on this, the Lancy family laid out an underground network covering the entire territory."

"Underground industries such as casinos and brothels..."

"We can't compete economically, our industries are suppressed, our armed forces are completely surpassed, and our government orders can't be issued."

"It's fair to say that the Lancy family is now the true ruler of Anseth City. The Rema family has virtually no hope of turning the tables."

When Maggie heard that the family's downfall was inevitable, tears welled up in her eyes.

how so......

“Mentor Ryan… even if I become a true magician, is there no way to change this outcome?”

“Yes,” Ryan answered with certainty. “However, you need to be strong enough to break this balance. Currently, you need to become a mage with at least six circuits. And that will have to be done within a year.”

“I won’t say those comforting words. Maggie, with your current strength and talent, it’s impossible for you to break through to six circuits within a year.”

Maggie's face turned ashen, and her pupils gradually lost their luster.

That was a sign that their fighting spirit was about to be completely shattered.

Claire was also tugging at Ryan's clothes, trying to stop him.

However, Ryan hasn't said his most important words yet.

"So Maggie, if you really want to revitalize the family and change the status quo, you have to start now. Instead of betting everything on the distant future, when you have six magic circuits."

"But... what should I do...?"

"If everything is as I just said, the Lancy family has almost monopolized all the important industries, and its dominance has reached its peak. However, such dominance often requires enormous financial resources to support it."

"So, where did he get all that money?"

Maggie paused for a moment, then looked up at Ryan.

"Those properties that Ghosn took from my family..."

Ryan shook his finger: "If that's all, it's not enough to sustain his rule."

“No one does something meaningless. The Lancy family monopolizes so many industries, and monopolies usually mean controlling the pricing power of goods.”

"To extract more profits, one must naturally squeeze producers and raise the prices of many goods. I noticed that the prices here were outrageously high when I was dining at the tavern before. Perhaps the Lancy family is behind this."

“High-intensity exploitation and high prices will naturally bring strong negative effects.”

At this point, Ryan gestured for Maggie to look around.

But after Maggie looked around, she couldn't see anything else besides pedestrians and vendors.

Maggie didn't understand what Ryan meant.

"Whether it's your family or Ghosn's Lancy family, in the process of ruling, they have overlooked one of the most important and powerful groups."

"This group possesses the power to overthrow any rule, and even the Lancy family cannot stand against them."

"If you can unite this group, you will possess an unprecedentedly powerful weapon."

"This weapon will make you invincible and unstoppable."

Maggie felt a surge of excitement and quickly pressed for more information.

"But Mentor Ryan! Who exactly is this group?"

"Could it be those impoverished nobles who were pushed to the margins by the Lanxi family?"

Ryan squatted down in front of Maggie, a smile on his face.

“Maggie, you have long been immersed in this power. They are everywhere in every corner of your life, in the streets and alleys. But because you have been in a high position for so long, you have ignored them.”

"Only when you truly understand the meaning of my words will you truly possess them."

Maggie looked around blankly, her eyes filled with urgency.

Ryan's riddle-like words were a tantalizing tease for Maggie. While they stirred her emotions, the uncertainty of the answer only amplified her anxiety.

Claire, who was standing to the side, suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up!

Perhaps this is the real difference between her and Maggie.

The most fundamental difference between a truly qualified ruler and a noblewoman.

Claire wanted to warn Maggie, but Ryan stopped her.

"Let's go, let's take a stroll in the shopping street."

"Now, it's time for Maggie to think for herself."

"Just like I said, only she can master that power when she realizes it herself. If she needs reminders from others even for something as simple as this, even if Maggie and the Rema family do regain their assets one day, it won't last long."

“In the future, another Lancy family will emerge and take away what she has.”

Chapter 107 The Voice in the Dark

After listening to what the patrol team members said, Ziel silently lowered his head.

Having witnessed such a shocking scene, she felt extremely tired and didn't want to sing or go out.

I just want to stay in my home at the Vatican and spend the whole day in peace and quiet.

But Lady Orina has already given the order.

Ziel had no choice but to respond.

"I see."

After lifting the enormous lute back onto his back, Ziel breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, his gaze gradually became serious.

No longer as willful and unrestrained as before, he now truly possesses the bearing of a high priest.

"Let's go back to base."

"Tell me in detail about Lady Orina's orders, as well as the location where the Blue Flower was discovered and its soil conditions."

The members of the inspection team exchanged glances, their hearts filled with excitement.

Lady Ziel has finally had enough fun and is starting to get serious!

God bless!

It's truly a blessing from heaven!

Although Lord Ziel is usually uncontrollable and always causes headaches.

But when he gets serious, Lord Ziel is quite reliable!

"Assemble! Assemble!"

Norma shouted, urging the students to assemble as soon as possible, as they needed to get back to the camp.

Just now, all the mentors in the Mentors' Union received a secret order from the Holy See.

Investigate the case of the blue flower.

The results of the investigation will be reported to the Vatican.

The journey officially ended the moment this secret order was received.

Afterwards, someone will arrange for the students to return to the college, and then it's time for the mentors to take over.

However, Norma called several times, but some students still did not return.

After counting the heads, they discovered that the group that hadn't returned was the five-person group led by Tych.

These guys have been disobedient since the beginning of the trip. Norma has to lift her high heels every time before they will obediently follow her orders.

It seems this time will be the same.

However, this time it was different from the previous times.

This time, Norma searched almost the entire city of Mosgu, but still couldn't find them.

Norma stood with her hands on her hips, rubbing her hair in frustration.

"Damn it."
