Chapter 1784 - 1199: Rebel Against This World!
Reiger now has a clear idea about the identity of the "Fire Princess".
With Charity’s reminder, Reiger pondered and turned over the matter in his mind, and finally realized something.
That matter is... the "Fire Princess" might have some connection with Yuri!
Therefore, before his departure to come here, during his return to the capital Yaluf, Reiger consulted Yuri about some matters.
Afterwards, he learned the identity of the "Fire Princess".
"Should I, like Charity, call you ’Fire Princess’?"
Reiger said quite calmly.
"Or should I call you... Lani Franzer?"
As soon as he said this, the "Fire Princess’s" eyes faintly trembled.
"You... already know?"
The "Fire Princess" surprisingly kept a calm expression as well.
"Yuri told me." Reiger did not hide it and spoke bluntly: "Based on Charity’s description of you, I conveyed your general appearance to Yuri."
"Then, Yuri told me."
"She has an aunt."
Speaking of this, Reiger also found it quite intriguing.
This time, upon his journey to the Hidden Land, from the High Priest, Reiger learned about Liz’s great likelihood of being the aunt of the deceased Ellie Yuloli.
Yet unexpectedly, besides Ellie Yuloli, Yuri actually also had an aunt.
Of course, Yuri’s aunt was unlike Ellie Yuloli’s aunt, who had a life story that could be termed legendary.
Though, to a certain extent, Yuri’s aunt could also be considered a legend.
Only, her legend mainly lay in negative aspects.
"She told me that her aunt was a very rebellious person since childhood, although she was born into the then-downfallen Franzer family, she had a heart that was not willing to be ordinary."
"Her aunt’s talent wasn’t outstanding; she didn’t possess any remarkable abilities in either magic or swordsmanship."
"Only in one very special kind of magic did her aunt showcase an extraordinary talent."
That was a type of interference magic known as sensory magic.
Utilizing this sensory magic, within the diffusion range of magic power, one could conduct extremely precise reconnaissance and exploration, and like using a communication magic crystal, after noting the magic wave of a certain individual, transmit one’s thoughts or voice directly into the other party’s mind across vast distances, to carry out a spiritual dialogue.
Thanks to this, even though Yuri’s aunt did not have an outstanding talent, she invariably accomplished astonishing feats.
For example, she would use sensory magic to scout the terrain of the battlefield in advance and set traps on the battlefield, leading enemies into these traps through inducement, thus achieving the goal of defeating the strong with the weak.
For instance, she would use sensory magic to instill a bunch of worthless confusing information into the enemies’ minds, thereby disrupting them. The method’s most astonishing achievement was once driving a certain swordsman insane, causing that person’s mind to become disordered, and it took a long period of therapy before returning to normal.
For another instance, she could use sensory magic to perform self-suggestion and hypnosis, transforming her personality to adapt to various situations.
Sometimes being a considerate noble lord...
Sometimes a charming and alluring woman of the streets...
Sometimes a humble and timid ordinary citizen...
Sometimes a noble and elegant young lady...
Through such means, adapting to diverse scenarios, Yuri’s aunt turned out to be an unexpectedly extraordinary spy, capable of easily manipulating both remarkable and ordinary individuals, achieving astonishing connections, and extracting various useful intelligence.
Thus, she might not have been a genius, nor a strong figure, but was a genuine extraordinary woman, a rare talent.
Unfortunately, the men of the Franzer family were troublesome.
Yuri’s father, this extraordinary woman’s brother, was a mediocre person.
Yuri’s grandfather, this extraordinary woman and her brother’s father, was equally mediocre.
Both were mediocrities yet oddly shared the same disposition, dreaming of restoring the former glory of the Franzer family, of making the family great again.
So, they weren’t seeking an extraordinary woman, but a family scapegoat to marry into a deal with someone of extremely high status.
Lani Franzer, under such circumstances, just like her nieces, inexplicably became someone for the family to use for arranged marriages, to be wed to some noble family’s first son.
As a result, unsurprisingly, this extraordinary woman, just like her nieces, fully exhibited the rebellious mindset of Franzer women and directly rebelled.
"Yuri told me, you left the Franzer family many years ago and disappeared without a trace."
"The family couldn’t find you, and you never returned home, until after Yuri became the head of the Franzer family, you would occasionally write to her, or occasionally visit her when she settled in the capital Yaluf."
"She asked you many times where you had gone all these years, and what you had done, but you never told her."
Reiger slowly and calmly spoke these words, but it didn’t change the expression of the "Fire Princess".
The "Fire Princess"... or rather Lani Franzer, merely listened quietly to Reiger’s narration, neither moved nor nostalgic.
"She must be quite surprised, right?" Lani chuckled lightly, "Knowing her aunt is involved in subverting the entire continent, even that child would find it incredulous, wouldn’t she?"
