The city of silence.
Less than twelve hours have passed since the "Blood Sacrifice", and the chaos in this city has been completely calmed down. After the "Empress" broke the well with a punch, the goddess "Sshutia" sacramentally purified, and the third person from all over the world was purified. After support was immediately dispatched, and even General Long Yi from the imperial capital came to visit in person, basic public security was restored in the sealed capital the next day.
However, many explosion ruins can still be seen on the streets of the city. This once prosperous city that could even touch the imperial capital is now scarred. The nobles and merchants are crying and screaming, and they are not known overnight. How much wealth was turned into bubbles in this chaos, and the common people were not having a good time. There were many homeless wanderers on the roadside. Perhaps the only ones who were indifferent to this were the poor and demi-human slaves. Well, after all, they have nothing to lose, so they have nothing to lose.
town Hall.
As a result of the empress's personal visit to the sealed capital, many officials from the imperial capital also had to come overnight. As the most important minister, Xia Luo would naturally not be absent.
In the tea room at this moment, Charlotte is entertaining a guest from the Magic City. It is said that he is the personal assistant of the "city lord", and the purpose of his visit is also very simple...
"Miss Carolyn, please be sure to express our gratitude to the Lord of the City for me and all the people of the Sealed City. The Demonic City donated to us free of charge. We in the Dragon Kingdom will definitely remember this kindness."
Charlotte said gratefully while pretending to pour water. In fact, her eyes were very covertly peeking at the whole body of the city lord's assistant opposite.
Caroline is wearing a very formal suit, with her golden single ponytail standing up on the back of her head, looking very smart. The black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose add a bit of seriousness, and under the hip-covering skirt on her lower body, there are tight seams. Her two beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings are worthy of being a native of Shanghai, leading the entire continent in terms of fashion.
However, no matter how serious he sat or dressed in formal clothes, he could not hide his identity as a succubus. On the contrary, it created a complete contrast, which made Charlotte feel a little itchy.
Carolin adjusted her glasses and without saying anything, she took out another contract with terms from her briefcase and pushed it from the table to Charlotte opposite.
After Charlotte took the sweep in confusion, her expression of gratitude just now faded away in an instant.
"Wait a minute? Miss Carolyn, your city lord wants to... take over the temporary agency of this city?"
"Yes, because the city lord is very worried about the corruption within the Dragon Kingdom. We have no intention of targeting you, Mr. Charlotte, but we don't want the funds and materials we use for disaster relief to end up in some people's wallets. Of course, I did not refer to you, Mr. Charlotte, so I made such a request. If the Dragon Kingdom wants to accept this donation from the Magic City, I must take over the post-disaster reconstruction project of the Sealed Capital."
After Carolin spoke calmly, the minister opposite did not look very good and became a little gloomy.
"Impossible! How can any city in the Dragon Kingdom be managed by outsiders?"
As if anticipating Charlotte's rejection, Carolyn still said unhurriedly:
"First of all, we are not trying to manage the city, it is just for better rescue. Secondly, I suggest you think about it carefully. The amount of money required for post-disaster reconstruction is not a small amount. If you refuse the goodwill of our magic city, Then you, Mr. Charlotte, will have to pay for it out of your own pocket."
Install the latest version. 】
"Anyway, the current sealed city is in a mess, and tax collection is almost impossible before reconstruction. So why not leave this mess to us in the Magic City? We can guarantee that after the disaster suppression is over in less than a month, including me, , all relevant personnel in the Magic City will withdraw from the Sealed Capital."
"You don't have to worry about our other plots. The Magic City serves as a beacon for the mainland, and the city owner is kind and benevolent. Everything we do is to make this world a better place."
Charlotte frowned and fell into deep thought, because what Carolin said was true. Now that there is such a commotion in the City of Silence, and it even attracted the empress's personal dispatch, he will definitely not be able to borrow money from disasters like before. .
But even if he didn't have this intention, Charlotte knew very well the virtues of his subordinates. They were simply terrible. After all, he didn't need capable people to be in power, he only needed people who obeyed him. official.
When the time comes, the disaster relief work in the Sealed Capital will be really messed up, and he won't be able to explain it in front of the empress. Moreover, Carolin also promised him that the people in the Magic City will only stay for a month and then leave. That's it. With a little time, it is estimated that nothing can be done.
In the end, after weighing the situation, Charlotte agreed to Carolin and signed the contract. At this scene, the succubus opposite finally showed a faint smile.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate. It is definitely an honor for the people of Dragon Kingdom to have you as a loyal minister who serves the country and the people."
"Oh, the Lord of the City also said that if you accept it, I will give you an additional piece of absolutely trustworthy first-hand information about our magical city."
"The empress that your Dragon Kingdom is frantically looking for...is now located in the southern region."
While speaking, after putting away the documents on the table, Carolin turned around and pushed the door open to leave without giving Charlotte, who had not recovered, a chance to speak again.
Charlotte, who was left alone with a frown, her brain was working rapidly and her forehead was sweating a little.
Assuming that Carolin didn't lie to him, and with the powerful intelligence capabilities of the Demon City, he could indeed do this, then the problem would be huge, because the Southern Territory...
This is the place for demihumans!
Why does the empress want to go there?
Feeling guilty as a thief, the first thing Charlotte thought of was...
Their "Old Alliance" plan!
The minister who guessed this conclusion suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his body was trembling a little. If the empress really found out the cruel plan that targeted the demi-human race... no, it should be said to be targeting the entire Dragon Kingdom, Charlotte could not imagine it. What will happen to the empress' anger at that time?
wrong! No, no!
calm!
Charlotte took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. First of all, all these speculations were based on the fact that Carolin did not lie to her. I heard that succubi like to play with people's hearts. Maybe they just want to scare her. Just say it.
The second and most powerful proof is that with the empress's character, if she really found out something, even just a clue, she would probably come directly to arrest her. And since he is still sitting here safe and sound, it proves that perhaps...
The empress hasn't figured it out yet, or perhaps, the empress has an ulterior motive for going to the south, and it's not the worst outcome he imagined.
After all, Charlotte has been with the Empress for many years. He knows very well that with the violent personality of that being, the word "investigation" has nothing to do with the Empress. The Empress's method of solving problems has always been violence.
Charlotte, who had stabilized his position a little, did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately got up from the sofa, left the council hall, and headed towards the secret room he had arranged in the sealed capital.
In the secret room, Charlotte lifted up his sleeves. In his right hand, he held a dagger, which looked like a dagger specially prepared for a ceremony. The dagger was twisted and weird, shaped like a claw.
When the minister gritted his teeth and pierced his wrist with the dagger, blood immediately rushed out from the cut blood vessels. However, in the next scene, the blood seemed to be guided, and was all absorbed by the ceremonial dagger stuck on it. Swallowed, and the dagger after "drinking blood" also revealed its true form.
The dagger seemed to come alive. The metal disguise quickly faded away, turning into a flesh and blood dagger that was still breathing and squirming. The dagger continued to draw blood from Charlotte's wrist.
Until he was finally satisfied, the flesh and blood composed of filth continued to squirm from the handle of the flesh and blood dagger. Finally, an evil eyeball covered with mucus and filled with bloodshot eyes gradually solidified, and finally opened completely from the dagger.
