Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 118 The Elf Princess's Concern

As soon as Cohen's question fell, Nephthys answered first:
"Whatever the master chooses, I will choose!"

Asuna hesitated for a moment and said:

"I am your squire's knight. Your orders are the direction of my sword!"

Freya's face also turned red, and she raised her fist to express her opinion:

"Sir, I also believe in your choice!"

Cohen looked at Windsardler, who frowned slightly and said:

“Why should I express my opinion?
I'm not your harem...Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you, whatever you say is what it is.

Who made me yours now? "

Cohen smiled slightly and gave his answer:

"We must support the farmers' association, defeat the 'farming associations', and ultimately gain complete control of the 'farmers' city-state'.

Let the 'City-State of Farmers' become our food base and logistical supply line!"

Windsordler quickly pointed out the crux of the matter:
"That association's seventh-rank [Landlord] was able to control the 'Federation of Cultivators' for so long, surely it wasn't just through force alone.

I think the key lies in the five Silver-rank [Agriculturists] under his command who possess grain seeds."

Cohen gave Windsardler an appreciative look and said:

"Yes, these five people are the key to the Cultivator Federation becoming the granary of the entire Lost Land.

It is also the key to Ivan Petrov's long-term control of the 'Federation of Cultivators'."

Asuna said with great interest:

“Are we going to kill those five of his men?

There are five silver levels. Xiaohong and I can deal with one together, sir can deal with one, and the remaining three will be left to Miss Windsardler.

How about handing over the Gold-rank Landlord to Arnold's Tiger Guards?"

Nephthys interrupted:
"But then, once you take control of the city-state, how will you ensure the food supply?"

For a moment, several people started discussing at once.

Cohen made a slight gesture, signaling everyone to stop for a moment, and then laid out his plan.

After hearing this, Windsardler stared at Cohen for a long time:

"Tell me the truth, do you have any connection with 'Cobalt Soul Academy'?

I feel like you know everything?

Could it be that he is the secret heir of the Cobalt Soul Academy who is out there?

Cohen spread his hands:
"I really wish I were from the Cobalt Soul Academy, but unfortunately they might not look down on me."

After Cohen finished talking with a few people, he called Planck in and whispered a few words to him.

After hearing what Cohen said, Planck's eyes became very mysterious. He probably had guessed what Cohen was going to do.

He even knows the potion combinations and formulas of the "Poseidon Series" and the "Goddess of Misfortune Series".

Then it is normal to know the complete promotion method of the "Agricultural God Sequence".

If Cohen insists on causing trouble in the "City-State of Farmers", with the Witch Lady on his side, not many people can control him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remind:
"The existence of the Cultivator City-State is extremely sensitive. If the chaos gets too serious and cannot be handled, even Your Excellency the Witch will be under great pressure.

You must know that our Mysterious Island does not have an advantage among the five major oasis forces and is subject to many constraints."

Cohen understood what Planck meant.

Don't go too far. If Ivan Petrov is overthrown and the "City-State of the Cultivators" can no longer continue to play its role in providing food for the "Lost Lands", it will be subject to interference and pressure from many external forces.

Even if he controls the city-state for a while, it will not last long, and he will instead arouse the resentment of many forces.

Cohen replied with a faint smile:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Navigator, I won't embarrass Her Excellency the Witch."

……

The giant floating ship driven by Planck was very fast. In less than a day, it had rushed from the core area of the "Mysterious Continent" to the "City-State of Farmers" in the northernmost part.

No matter how special its status is, the "City-State of Farmers" nominally belongs to the life paradise of the Lord of Sequence.

The ninth-rank confidant of Her Majesty the Witch, the Navigator, personally sent someone off. Ivan Petrov did not dare to delay and waited outside the city early with the senior staff of the "Farming Society".

Ivan Petrov fell into deep thought as he saw a mysterious young nobleman appear in front of him with several beautiful women and a murderous army.

Did some noble family in the human world get in touch with Her Majesty the Witch and send them to the "Lost Land" for training?
Could it be that Her Majesty the Witch felt that it was difficult to handle, so she sent it to the "City of Farmers" which is far away from the center of the "Lost Land" and less dangerous?
From a purely safety perspective, the "Farmer City-State", which is mainly composed of farmers and has only the seventh-level extraordinary person, is indeed a good place.

Ivan Petrov felt that his speculation was reasonable.

Soon, the words of [Navigator] Planck confirmed his speculation.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Planck, as Cohen had instructed him to do, quietly spoke to Ivan:

"Mr. Petrov, this 'Infinity Blade' adventure group was personally ordered by Her Excellency the Witch.

The power behind him is very important for us to purchase potion materials in the human world. Her Majesty the Witch hopes that he can spend some time in peace in the 'Mysterious Island'.

So he was sent to the "City of Farmers" far away from the center of the dispute.

Do you get me? "

Ivan's expression changed slightly, and he replied respectfully:

"I completely understand. Don't worry, I will treat this distinguished guest well."

Planck gave Ivan a knowing smile and patted his shoulder.

"Come to the Azure City-State when you have time."

"sure."

After sending Cohen and his party to the "City of Cultivators", Planck drove away in a giant floating ship.

After everyone left, Ivan immediately and enthusiastically introduced the members of the "Farming Society" to Cohen and his group.

What Cohen was most concerned about were his five Silver-rank [Agriculturists] subordinates.

They are Bali, who manages the barley and wheat producing areas, Rice, who manages the rice producing areas, Cornell, who manages the corn producing areas, Oliver, who manages the olive producing areas, and Saffron, who manages the producing areas of the precious spice and medicinal material saffron.

Each of these five people owned a vast piece of arable land in the city-state. In addition, there were three floating islands of order for them to use to develop farmland.

Each of them controls at least more than 10,000 farmers and cultivators.

The "City-State of Farmers" can provide a steady supply of food and supplies to the "Lost Land", and these five people are particularly important.

Among the five people, the first three, Barry, Rice, and Cornell are trusted subordinates trained by Ivan himself.

He was originally a relative or friend of Ivan Petrov.

As for the latter two, Oliver and Saffron stood out from the crowd of [Farmers] through their own efforts, and were given a magic potion by Ivan to advance to the silver level, thus successfully advancing to become [Agriculturists].

Therefore, of the five people's cultivation, the first three have reached the fifth level, while the last two are still stuck at the fourth level. It's not because the last two lack talent, but because the promotion method of [Agriculturist] is also monopolized by Ivan, and it must be redeemed through sufficient contributions.

In response to Ivan Petrov's enthusiasm, Cohen also responded enthusiastically and introduced his "Infinity Blade" adventure team to him.

When he learned that the highest-level extraordinary person in this adventure group was only a seventh-level elf, the rest were bronze and silver, and even the team leader Coen was only at the third level of strength.

Ivan Petrov immediately let go of the last bit of his guard.

They had completely regarded Cohen and his group as young nobles who were out to gild themselves.

As for the 3,000 troops under Arnold's command, in his opinion they were just Cohen's bodyguards and did not pose much threat.

Being able to control the "City-State of Farmers" for so many years, Ivan Petrov is naturally very sophisticated, tactful and shrewd.

He was busy serving Cohen and his group without any airs of being the lord of a city.

Cohen also seriously played the role of a noble young master traveling with his beautiful wife. He pointed at Windsordale and said:
"This concubine of mine... um, a member of the group, is quite interested in various delicacies. Do you have any special snacks here?"

Windsardler, who was standing by, curled his lips when he heard this and secretly took note of Cohen in his heart.

Ivan Petrov and the others all laughed incoherently after hearing Cohen's slip of the tongue.

Ivan Petrov quickly replied:

"Yes, yes, we have many delicious cakes made from green ecological crops here, I believe Madam will like them.

We have prepared a grand welcome banquet for you all, dear guests, please come in!"

With a smile on his face, Ivan Petrov took Cohen and his party to the most luxurious hotel in the city.

A grand banquet had obviously been prepared long ago. The courtyard was brightly lit. Ivan Petrov and several of his subordinates were talking enthusiastically with Cohen and others.

He also thoughtfully arranged for his family to serve Asuna, Windsardler and others wholeheartedly.

Everyone had an unconcealed and sincere smile on their face. The cheerful laughter and the sound of clinking glasses intertwined together, echoing in the night sky for a long time. It was obvious that both the guests and the hosts were having a great time.

……

After the banquet, Cohen and others were arranged to stay in a small villa owned by the city-state government.

Arnold and the female pastor Margaret took 3,000 Tiger Guards and stationed them in the military camp on the outskirts of the city.

The troops were divided into two groups to be on the safe side.

Late at night, four beautiful girls, big and small, came to Cohen's room one after another.

Windsordale was the last to arrive. After the banquet, she went out alone to buy some delicious snacks. Of course, she also followed Cohen's orders to explore the surrounding environment.

After all, it is a new arrival in a strange place, and getting to know the surrounding situation is an essential task for an experienced adventure team leader.

It would be a waste to not make use of such an excellent scout as the Winged Elf Princess.

Windsordale returned with some special snacks and said to Cohen:

"There aren't any high-level transcendents around here, but there are quite a few secret agents. When I was buying something, I noticed a lot of people secretly following me. I don't know what kind of forces they are."

Cohen complimented and smiled:

"Is it possible that our Elf Lady is too charming and has bewitched others?"

Windsordler was very satisfied with Cohen's praise and continued:
“That’s quite possible.

In addition, I checked the inside and outside of the villa and found no trace of any monitoring array.

There was no one watching outside, and they didn't do anything in our area."

Cohen was not surprised by this and said:
"Ivan Petrov doesn't give himself trouble.

My performance today should have put him at ease, especially since he imagined I was having a party with everyone.

He certainly wouldn't be so tactless as to cause trouble."

Freya looked confused and asked:
"What do you mean by party?"

Nephthys and Asuna rolled their eyes at Cohen.

Windsardler snorted coldly:
“Who said we should pay attention to minors last time?

Come to think of it, I still haven't settled the score with someone for ruining my reputation today!"

Cohen made a slip of the tongue and said awkwardly in the face of Freya's clear and innocent eyes:

"It means a tea party. Doesn't your sister Windsordale love delicious food? I plan to hold a tea party to celebrate after everyone finishes the operation!"

Freya nodded, not quite understanding.

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Windsardler with a stern face, and said:

"Isn't this for your consideration? As the leader of our group, I have an obligation to take care of the preferences of every team member.

As for saying that you are my concubine, isn't it also to make it easier for everyone's identity to remain secret?

Besides, is it embarrassing to follow me?"

Windsordale raised her eyebrows slightly:

"Sweet talk, I finally understand why you can recruit so many beautiful girls."

The two of them exchanged a few words as usual, and then Cohen became serious and said:
"According to our previous plan, we will split into two groups tonight.

I went to find the leader of the 'Farmers' Association'.

Windsard, take Nephthys to meet Ivan Petrov's two capable subordinates, Oliver who manages the olive-producing area, and Saffron who manages the saffron producing area, which is a precious spice and medicinal material.

Don't reveal your identity yet. Follow what I gave you before and try to find out what these two people have to say.

They are not the original members of the "Farming Society" and their loyalty to Ivan Petrov will not be that high. If possible, we should persuade them to defect first.

Asuna, you stay here and protect Freya. If anything happens, please contact me immediately."

"it is good."

Windsardler glanced at Cohen and said:
"I don't have any problems. You just need to go meet the leader of the 'Farmers' Association' yourself. Are you sure?"

Cohen chuckled and said:
"It's such a rare honor to receive your care, Princess Princess!"

Windsardler turned his head and snorted coldly:
"I just don't want you to give up on the agreement with me halfway."

As she spoke, she took off a pair of winged earrings from her pointed ears and threw them to Cohen.

"Activate it in an emergency, and you'll briefly have the speed to escape the pursuit of a Legendary."

Cohen was touched. Although he had no use for this thing, the elf lady's kindness and concern were real.

He wanted to say a few words of thanks, but Windsardler had already left the room with Nephthys, who looked very jealous.

Cohen noticed the strange gazes from Asuna and Freya beside him, coughed lightly, put away the earrings, and said:

"Just wait at home and communicate with us in time if there is any situation."

"it is good."
