Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 119 Cohen: The amulet given by my wife!

Late at night, after watching Ivan Petrov and others leave the hotel and cleaning up the remaining traces of the banquet, the hotel staff also began to leave work one after another.

One of the male waiters who was in charge of reception at the front desk changed out of his uniform, quietly disappeared into the night, and appeared in front of a grocery store.

Although it was late at night, the grocery store under the dim lights was still bustling with people, and the noisy footsteps and conversations of customers could be heard everywhere.

Those coming and going were all farmers wearing patched coarse clothes and with tired faces. Occasionally there were a few extraordinary people, but they were all dressed like "farmers", and their extraordinary aura was barely concealed by the heavy farm work.

Because of the harsh working system of the "City-State of Farmers", the farmers who worked hard in the fields could only come to the grocery store late at night to buy some basic necessities - a small bag of coarse salt, a few bars of the cheapest soap and candles.

Those who are well-off will set up a roadside stall at the door and buy a few roasted corns for their children to improve their meals.

They provided abundant and high-quality food to the entire "Lost Land", but in the end they could only fill their stomachs with coarse salt and coarse grains.

A city-state named after "tillers", but the farmers are at the bottom of the class. Is there any fact more ridiculous and absurd than this?

Unfortunately, most people have become numb due to official propaganda and brainwashing, and simply think that this is because they have not worked hard enough.

However, there are always people who have a burning anger of resistance in their hearts, and the waiter who changed out of his uniform is such a person!
The male waiter had changed out of the neat and straight uniform he wore during the day and was now wearing a patched coarse cloth shirt and a slightly worn baseball cap.

The brim of his hat was pulled down low, and the shadow covered most of his face.

He seemed to be walking casually between the shelves, picking up one or two items from time to time, as if checking the quality of the goods.

The pair of eyes hidden under the brim of his hat scanned the surroundings alertly. Finally, when he approached a corner deep in the grocery store where miscellaneous items were stored, his steps paused slightly.

As if responding to the waiter's action, another figure walked out from behind a pile of sacks filled with soil.

He was dressed in a plain robe, like an ordinary grocery clerk.

Seeing the man in the robe, the male waiter's body tensed up slightly, but soon relaxed.

He pretended to be casual as he approached the robed clerk, bent down slightly to check the merchandise at the bottom of the shelf, and muttered softly:

"Today's potatoes aren't very fresh!"

The robed man responded:
"But the tomatoes are very fresh. If you need them, you can come to the back to see their quality."

The male waiter's eyes lit up and he replied:

"Okay, then I'll go take a look."

The two of them quickly came to the storage room at the back, and after lifting the floor, they found a secret room underneath.

After entering, there was already an older middle-aged man standing there waiting with his back to me.

The robed waiter left quietly, and the male waiter came behind the middle-aged man and said softly:

"Mr. Vegetable Farmer, there's new news from the Landlord!"

The middleman codenamed "Vegetable Farmer" slowly turned his head and asked:
"During the daytime today, the [Navigator] under Her Excellency the Witch came. Is this related to him?"

The male waiter nodded and said:
"Yes, the Navigator brought a few distinguished guests with him, and they will stay in the Cultivator City for a while."

Afterwards, the male waiter told the "vegetable farmer" in front of him about the situation of Cohen and his group.

When talking about the female companions that Cohen brought, envy and jealousy appeared in his eyes:

“…This person did not reveal his true face and was covered with a mask the entire time. It seemed that he did not want to reveal his true identity.

However, looking at the beautiful female companions around him, it can be inferred that the identity of this mysterious man must be extraordinary.

Anyone who could earn such a warm reception from the 'Landlord' must be either a relative of the Witch or a great noble in the human kingdom."

The vegetable farmer asked in a low voice:
"Are you saying that the highest-ranked elf in their group is a gold-level elf?"

The male waiter nodded, as if still recalling the stunning beauty of those people, and whispered back:

"Yes, even though that seventh-level elf also covered her face, her identity as an elf can still be seen from the features of her ears and the decorations on her body."

The vegetable farmer's expression changed slightly, and he said:

"Is she wearing a tight, dark green leather armor carved with vines and leaves, with a unique short bow hanging from her waist, and has a nice figure?"

The male waiter nodded in surprise and said:

"Mr. Vegetable Farmer has seen her?"

The "vegetable farmer" nodded with a complicated expression:
"She recently bought dim sum at a number of specialty snack shops, and she was quite generous with her purchases.

The news that a strange, generous and beautiful elf suddenly appeared in the "City of Farmers" naturally spread quickly.

I also approached her secretly, but didn't feel any special aura, so I didn't take it seriously.

I didn't expect that she was in cahoots with that mysterious person, and she's a seventh-level transcendent."

Cohen, who was lurking in the shadow plane, was slightly moved when he heard the words of the "vegetable farmer".

I couldn't help but think in my mind that it seemed that when Windsardler said that she felt someone was following her secretly, it was not because of her beauty.

I didn’t expect that it was someone from the “Farmers Association” who was following me.

It seems that the power of this "Farmers' Association" in the entire "City-State of Farmers" cannot be underestimated.

The vegetable farmer had a deep frown carved between his eyebrows, and fell into deep thought:
“The situation in the city-state is becoming increasingly complicated.

No one knew what this sudden force was planning. I heard that he brought an army of 3,000 people with him, probably their bodyguards.

I wonder if such a powerful force will interfere with the leader's plans."

The male waiter was surprised. An army of three thousand people, even if it was the lowest "basic level" army, three thousand people could fight against a gold-level extraordinary person.

Such a force must not be underestimated!
The waiter asked:

"By the way, I heard they were staying in the villa of the Executive Yuan.

There were originally a few maids there who belonged to us, but unfortunately that noble seemed to have something else to do and dismissed all the maids and guards."

The male waiter's voice carried a hint of jealousy that all men could understand.

It goes without saying what a man wants to do in the middle of the night with a group of beautiful women.

The waiter felt unprecedented injustice as both of them were the same age.

In order to make a living, they have to put on a smile and act like a slave every day, and even risk their lives to do intelligence work.

And this person can enjoy the supreme beauty and compliments of dignitaries without restraint!
Sure enough, the "leader" was right!

This sinful world should be completely overthrown!
Invisibly, Cohen's arrival further strengthened the revolutionary belief in the male waiter's heart!

The "vegetable farmer" came back to his senses and said:

"Mr. Waiter, you did a great job.

I will report all your achievements to the 'leader' without fail. It's getting late, so you should go back first. Be safe and stay hidden.

While ensuring your own safety, try to gather as much information as possible about that mysterious group of people."

Hearing the word "Leader," the young waiter codenamed "Waiter" showed a fiery excitement and agitation on his face, and his voice was extremely firm:

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

After watching the "waiter" leave, the "vegetable farmer" picked up the reading glasses on the table and began to write something at the desk.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears, making him feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave:
"'leader'?
Is your current 'leader' Thomas Wade?"

The "vegetable farmer" heard the voice and heard the "leader's" real name and identity being revealed. Before he had time to think too much, a scroll emitting powerful magical fluctuations appeared in front of him, ready to be opened at any time!
At the same time, the robed guy just now appeared next to the "vegetable farmer" in an instant, holding a dagger in his hand and looking around vigilantly.

However, no one was found.

Just when he was wondering if he was hallucinating, the voice rang out again in the void:
"A magic scroll of peak gold rank?
The style looks like that of the dwarves.

It seems that you have a secret deal with the dwarves.

Put that thing away. I am not in league with Ivan Petrov and the Farming Society.

I have no hostility towards you, on the contrary, maybe we can become friends."

The "vegetable farmer" and the long-robed clerk still looked around warily, and a cold voice came out from the former's lips:
"【assassin】?
Or [Night Walker]?
This is the Cultivator City, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Cohen sighed and had no choice but to show up and say:

“Aren’t you very interested in that mysterious person?

You see, I took the initiative to come to you.

Is this how you, the Farmers' Association, treat guests?"

The "vegetable farmer" and the robed clerk were both startled when they saw the figure suddenly appear in front of them, and the former was almost about to activate the scroll.

However, after sensing that the other party only had a third-level aura, the two slowly calmed down.

The "vegetable farmer" only had time to think about what Cohen had just said.

That mysterious group of people?
Could it be that……

The "vegetable farmer" stared at Cohen closely. He was wearing elegant clothes, a mask that concealed his appearance, and he possessed the strength of a third-level warrior...

It really looks alike!

But there is no guarantee that it is not someone from the "farming association" who is fishing!

The "vegetable farmer" still held the scroll tightly in his hand, and a cold voice rang out:

"Who are you? What's your purpose here?!"

Cohen slightly opened his collar, revealing the outline of a pendant inside, and said:

"That golden magic scroll of yours is useless to me. If it explodes, it will just mean the loss of both of your lives.

See? This is a self-defense treasure my wife gave me. It can withstand attacks from legendary tiers. Put the scroll away. If I had any ill intentions, I wouldn't have shown up."

The "vegetable farmer"'s eyes narrowed slightly. As a think tank member of the entire "Farmers Association" intelligence organization, he was naturally knowledgeable and had a sharp eye.

Therefore, it was obvious at a glance that the pendant on Cohen was a legendary magical defense equipment.

This mysterious man was right. His magic scroll could not cause any harm to him.

Moreover, this man's wife could actually take out a legendary magical equipment and give it to her husband.

The "vegetable farmers" naturally don't think that Cohen is deliberately showing off his affection.

He felt that the other party was using this to prove the nobility of his status.

At least the ruler of the "City-State of Farmers", the seventh-level [Landlord] Ivan Petrov, still does not have a piece of legendary magic equipment.

It seems that there is no need for such a distinguished figure to target me.

Seeing that the other party's momentum was gradually easing, Cohen suddenly thought of a way to prove his identity.

He took out the earrings Windsardler had given him and said:
“Didn’t you stalk an elf?

Didn't your 'waiter' tell you the identity of that elf before?
To tell you the truth, that elf is my woman. Look carefully, this is the earring you used to follow that elf today. Such a private thing is in my hands. You should be able to believe my identity now. "

When the "vegetable farmer" saw the pair of unique earrings in Cohen's hand, he began to believe Cohen's words a little.

As an experienced intelligence worker, he naturally had a very deep impression of the person he had just followed during the day.

Cohen shook his earrings and continued:
"My goals are the same as yours, and I also disagree with the way Ivan Petrov and his 'farming association' manage the 'Federation of Farmers'.

We can work together to overthrow him!"

Even though Cohen said this, the "vegetable farmer" remained alert and said coldly:
"The 'landlord' is so flattering to you, are you going to join us in dealing with him?

This is not funny at all!"

Cohen was not angry and smiled faintly:

"Ivan Petrov... well, that's what you call the 'big landlord'. The reason he treated me so well was because of the Witch.

To tell you the truth, I am actually Her Excellency the Witch's man. I am the inspector sent by her to patrol the 'Federation of Cultivators'.

I'm here to put an end to Ivan Petrov's tyrannical rule in the Cultivator City.

Let the [cultivators] return to the big family of the 'Paradise of Life'."

The "vegetable farmer" had a look of surprise and doubt on his face. Cohen's words had a huge impact on him.

It's not that their "Farmers' Association" hasn't longed for the attention and help of the Lord of Sequence, but the legendary witch who is so high and mighty is simply out of their reach.

And the extravagant hopes day after day have long turned into despair.

But now, suddenly a man came to him and said that he was the savior sent by the Witch. Even the "vegetable farmer" who had fought for the revolutionary cause of the Farmers' Association for most of his life could not help but feel a surge of emotions.

Considering the fact that the other party was sent by the [Navigator] himself, even the "vegetable farmer" who has always been wise and decisive couldn't help but feel hesitant.

Cohen didn't care at all about the huge lie he told.

If you have the guts, go confront Belmoody yourself.

Having an official identity makes it easier to dispel the vigilance of the "Peasant Association". After all, no one wants to be a traitor all his life, right?

Seeing the "vegetable farmer" hesitate, Cohen knew that things had taken a turn for the better, so he added fuel to the fire!
