The city of silence.
As the gateway between the north and the south of the Dragon Kingdom, it was once the largest demihuman slave trading market, and now it is naturally also the one most affected by the empress's "blessing ceremony".
After all, such a big change will directly lead to a reshuffle of the situation between demi-humans and humans. As the human city with the largest number of demi-humans, the Sealed City must be the first to bear the brunt of this wave of the times. The entire city will be affected. It is very likely that it will fall into chaos or even a second major crisis.
But in fact, none of these imagined bad situations happened. There were definitely small local riots, but the vast majority of demihumans in this city did not have major riots.
This is all due to three points. The first is that the Sealed City has already experienced a major crisis before this. Many people in this city, including the demihumans, have not yet recovered from the "blood sacrifice". "Slowed down in the afterglow.
The second is that whether it was Baer’s curse before or Dragon Lady’s blessing now, both are at the level of talent potential. In the analogy game, it is the efficiency of gaining experience points. Baer’s curse prevents demihumans from gaining experience. value, thus killing the future of the demi-human race. While eliminating this negative effect, the dragon lady in turn gave the demi-human race the blessing of increasing experience points.
This also means that the blessed demihumans do not immediately become powerful and can act unscrupulously in the city. In the short term, their strength is actually the same as before. It is just that they have regained their strength. The ascending channel has become a bit simpler, but if you really want to gain strength, you still have to rely on your own efforts to practice.
As for the third...
"Caroline, good job!"
In the city hall of the sealed city, a certain pink-haired succubus came here from the magic city and praised the blond secretary next to him.
Reina walked to the window and lifted the curtain, looking down. Less than half a month had passed since the "Blood Sacrifice" disaster. This city, which had been severely damaged, seemed to have regained a lot of its former vitality.
The debris and ruins caused by the previous explosions have been cleared away, and many streets have been renovated. Even the pedestrians on the road are even more cheerful than before.
This is undoubtedly all thanks to Carolyn. She was originally sent here by Reina. She first successfully obtained temporary administrative power from Minister Charlotte through negotiation, and then transferred all the donations that Reina transferred from the Magic City. Funds are spent wisely, and every material provided for precise disaster relief can be delivered to those who really need it.
It was under the guidance of Carolin that the disaster of "Blood Sacrifice" was turned into an opportunity to reform the sealed city, and the internal conflicts between demihumans and humans were turned into external conflicts. Let's put aside our mutual differences for the time being. After all, we are all victims of the disaster. The only option left is to work together to restore the city as soon as possible.
Of course, there were a lot of obstacles in the process. For example, the local nobles who were originally in the sealed capital almost all united to resist Carolin, and some went so far as to cause sabotage behind the scenes in an attempt to Hindering disaster relief and reconstruction.
After all, the citizens had received cheap or even free supplies from Carolin from the Magic City, so wouldn’t those they were planning to take advantage of and sell at high prices rot in their hands? Not to mention that Carolin provided far more than their labor contract. They had lost a lot of cheap labor, who would exploit them and make money for them?
As for the most intolerable thing for the nobles, Carolin actually used the name of disaster relief to start leveraging their core interests, to deliberately model the lake and reduce the concept of "slaves", liberating a large number of sub-races and becoming The so-called temporary workers caused them heavy losses for a while.
It's a pity that these pampered nobles can usually use their power to bully civilians, but what skills can they really use...
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Lady Reina, this is probably the situation. In addition, I am very sorry that due to my fault, a large number of nobles in the sealed capital have been lost. There are only four families left. I hope it will not affect your next plan, Mrs. Reina. "
When the word "nobles" was mentioned in the report, Carolin looked a little helpless, because she really didn't expect that these nobles in the Dragon Kingdom could be so incompetent. She just put a little effort into it. He accidentally crushed several nobles to death, which is the so-called loss.
The remaining four families are the result of her hastily stopping when she saw that the momentum was not right. Otherwise, I am afraid that in just half a month, the nobles in the sealed capital would have been replaced by a new batch of faces.
Because her opponent was too weak, even if Carolin received praise from Lady Reina, she was not very proud of her achievements in the Sealed Capital. On the contrary, Carolin was actually more concerned about...
"So... Lady Reina, how did you make that stubborn empress change her mind? And was it also your fault that the curse that faded away from these demihumans was done by you? How did you do it?"
Carolin naturally saw the dragon roar that resounded throughout the Dragon Kingdom and the strange behavior of the demihumans now.
She was sent here in advance to pave the way for this moment. Even though she knew Lena's plan in advance, after it was realized, Carolin couldn't help but admire her princess very much, and at the same time she was very curious in her heart. I hope I can learn from Lena’s methods and improve myself.
Reina, who returned to the desk from the window and was now sitting on a swivel chair with her legs crossed, looked at Caroline opposite who looked serious and wanted to study humbly. The pink-haired succubus said disapprovingly:
"It's simple, just send a confidant to put the empress to sleep."
Upon hearing what Reina said, Carolin immediately stood in awe of this "confidant" whom Reina called her, because they asked themselves, if Reina sent herself to persuade the empress, could she do it? ?
The answer is obvious, it's simply impossible.
So it is conceivable that although Lady Reina may have said it lightly, the process for this "confidant" to convince the empress must have been extremely difficult and most likely full of dangers. As a secretary, she was also a "confidant" of Lady Reina. , I feel ashamed that the other party is much more capable than me.
Of course, in addition to recognizing her own shortcomings and secretly striving to improve herself, Caroline is also confused. She can be said to be the first group of people to follow Lena. As Lena's longest-serving personal secretary, so...
"Lady Reina, why didn't I know you had such a powerful confidant beside you?"
Regarding his secretary's doubts, the pink-haired succubus on the swivel chair raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "What, do you need me to introduce him to you?"
"If allowed, I would love to communicate, learn, and share experiences with such a capable person." Carolin thought for a while and nodded seriously.
Unfortunately, all she got was a chuckle at the pink-haired succubus.
Reina looked up and down again at Caroline, the secretary who had been with her the longest and was also her most capable and trustworthy secretary.
Perhaps because of the assignment, Carolin's clothes were much more formal than when he was in Shanghai.
He is dressed in a standard executive style, with a black suit jacket with a classic pure white lining, and a brown hip-covering skirt on the lower body, followed by a professional suit of black silk and high heels.
This outfit is very serious and ceremonial. In addition, Caroline tied her original long blond hair into a ponytail and tied it behind her head, which gave her a more capable look. It is a pity that all of this cannot be matched with Caroline's After getting in shape, everything changed.
"Lei...Lena-sama?"
Caroline watched as she dodged and suddenly came to her. Lena, who was so close to her that her nose was almost touching her nose, stuttered when she spoke.
Although Lady Reina had often played pranks like this when she was in the Magic City before, but now she was not in their city lord's dormitory, but in the city hall office of the sealed city.
