Chapter 197: Serpent's Perfect Partner - II



Ravenna, who couldn\'t leave, could only turn around and face Ansel. Ansel was just trying to use seemingly gentle words to distort the value of the Tower of Babel\'s existence, and she tore off this snake\'s disguise without expression.

— Ravenna\'s abnormality was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Ravenna\'s disrespectful attitude towards Ansel was completely different from past Seraphina\'s. The latter was due to short-sightedness and a terrible personality, while the former... was because she knew Ansel too well, both in the past and now.

She knew that Ansel didn\'t care about her attitude towards him, but rather enjoyed verbal and intellectual sparring with her. So Ravenna never hid her current disgust for Ansel, except on certain occasions.

In essence, Ravenna knew better than anyone that she would not be threatened by Ansel because of this attitude. Otherwise, she would choose to adopt the same tolerant attitude as when facing Evora.

This can also be considered a kind of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so it\'s normal for her to be disliked. However, her "disrespect" still maintains a certain bottom line, at least ten times stronger than Seraphina who initially wanted to beat Ansel to the ground.

"Miss Ziegler." Hendrik\'s gaze became sharp, and his tone lost the gentleness of an elder, "Respect Lord Ansel!"

"No, no, no... there\'s no need for that."

Ansel laughed indifferently: "I misspoke just now, comparing you scholars to violent creators, which is indeed a bit rude."

"I believe you didn\'t mean to create weapons, because I know the princess\'s nature well."

The young Hydral sighed: "You... probably didn\'t have a choice."

This sentence seemed to speak out the heartache of most of the high-levels of the Tower of Babel present.

Some scholars were trapped in conscience and morality, some scholars did not want their path to be bound by such vulgar things, no matter what kind of thinking, their concern is the same — that is, no one wants to endlessly develop alchemical weapons, spending their wisdom and time on such meaningless things.

Ravenna remained silent at this moment. Of course, she could choose to expose Hydral\'s lies, such as the concept of mechanical armor was entirely his idea, or bluntly say that he actually didn\'t care about how the Tower of Babel... because Ansel must have come with a plot, theoretically speaking, the best choice is to make him lose his footing as soon as possible.

But when Ansel walked into the office, when he said the first sentence to Hendrik, the rhythm of the whole conversation, all the guidance of the words, had been controlled by this devil.

No matter how much she talked, she would only receive more criticism and even anger from Hendrik. Of course, the reason she didn\'t speak was not this, but simply... it was meaningless to do so.

So Ravenna began to choose to think, to dissect the traitor, the snake\'s expression and words, trying to find the answer she needed from the strands of information.

"So... Lord Ansel, if you proposed that we confront the Etheric Academy out of curiosity about the mechanical armor--"

Hendrik weighed his words: "Then, your coming to the Tower of Babel is for..."

Although the Tower of Babel is almost entirely composed of scholars, the word scholar does not mean rigid, inflexible, and unsociable. Although Hendrik was emotionally stirred by Ansel\'s words, it ended there. These scholars, although slightly moved by Ansel\'s words, would not bow their heads in submission.

Not only Ravenna, but also some of them recognized that Ansel came with secrets and purposes, but... only Ravenna considered it a conspiracy.

They looked at Ansel with a bit of caution, but also with some unspeakable expectations.

"Because I think you need help."

Facing the scholars\' gaze, Ansel said without hesitation: "To be honest, if it was just a fair fight between the Etheric Academy and you, I wouldn\'t interfere. But now... I don\'t know if you are aware, the Etheric Academy has received the full support of Her Majesty, and the resources they can get are beyond your imagination."

"The full support of Her Majesty?!"

Someone in the office exclaimed in surprise, but no one cared about his gaffe, because most people could hardly manage themselves.

In Evora\'s anxiety and anger, some people had guessed that they were facing the crushing combination of the Etheric Academy and the empress, but even so, they just thought that the empress was simply standing up for the Etheric Academy, and wouldn\'t seriously use resources to fight against her own daughter... After all, how could the mighty empress be so self-deprecating?

So they started arguing about the war first, rather than being afraid of their enemies first.

But now, Ansel actually said that the Etheric Academy had received the full support of Her Majesty?

The great existence that held the empire in her hand was actually seriously... no, she started a fierce fight with her own daughter? How could this happen?

"During the morning assembly, Her Highness\'s provocation towards Her Majesty was somewhat excessive."

At a time when everyone was panicking and at a loss, Ansel\'s voice timely resounded, as if answering their doubts: "I arrived a step too late. Although I tried to mediate, I couldn\'t completely prevent it. This is also... another reason why I proposed that contest."

The benevolent and tolerant young Hydral looked around at the pitiful scholars and lamented, "At least, this way, it provides you, who are regarded as subordinates of the Elder Princess, a barely competitive opportunity."

By now, Ansel had made his intentions clear.

Evora had a fierce conflict with the empress during the morning assembly, and as the absolute ruler of the empire, the increasingly mad and narrow-minded empress might directly destroy Evora\'s power in her rage — after all, in Ansel\'s description, she had done everything to mobilize resources to crush her own daughter.

As the most prominent force under Evora\'s command, and an organization that rivals the colossal Etheric Academy, the Tower of Babel would undoubtedly be the first to bear the brunt if the empress were to go mad with rage.

However, the situation had improved somewhat under Ansel\'s mediation, and as he had said, they now had a barely "competitive" opportunity.
