Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 140: The Elf Lady in Nightgown ( words extra for the Hall Master "Little Lizi Lee"!!!)

(Thanks to the host "Little Lizi Lee" for the 10000-point reward!!!
Thank you, boss, you are so generous! I will add 10,000 words to your post today!!!)
The name in the man's column was blank!
But soon, the sharp-eyed Victor discovered that it was not blank, but was obscured by a mysterious force.

After carefully sensing it, he found that even he could not see through this power!
Victor is now a saint, a power that even he cannot fathom...

Unless this is the work of a god!

Victor couldn't help but be moved by horror. Could it be that the man was related to the gods?
Yes, perhaps only this kind of person is qualified to be the emperor of the most powerful empire in human history.

Victor solemnly returned the scroll to Her Majesty the Queen and waited for her instructions.

Shanice said:
"Your Excellency, the Grand Master of the Holy Land, is a neutral faction known to everyone.

The Victor family is also an ancient noble family that is famous and respected in the empire.

Your words carry weight in the House of Lords, and I hope that when Chief Heisenberg brings forward this motion, you will speak on my behalf.

Of course, the marriage certificate cannot be mentioned."

Victor understood everything and nodded.
"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. This is my duty. I know what to do."

At the end of the conversation, Shanice suddenly said:
“I don’t care about that king, whether he has lost his memory or is dead.

Nothing can happen to his queen, Adair Angryn, understand?"

Victor's eyes were filled with confusion at first, but he soon realized that the Queen Effiin that His Majesty was talking about was the woman who defeated His Majesty a few years ago and won the title of "Strongest Silver".

Is it a mutual admiration between rivals?

That's understandable.

Victor nodded and said:

"If Chief Heisenberg really wants to take action against Effiin, I will protect the queen."

"very good."

After Victor left, Shanice unfolded the engagement scroll and looked at the blank column with the man's name on it.

That year came to mind: the emperor's father was seriously ill, the various political forces in the country were fighting openly and secretly, the sensitive moment of the imperial power handover, and the moment when he was being hunted by unknown forces abroad.

At that time, Shanice Klein was just a young princess who was ranked fifth in the line of succession.

Compared with her uncles and brothers, her only advantage is her outstanding appearance and amazing talent for cultivation.

Judging from the power and political capital behind him, the probability of him ascending the throne is very small.

As a result, the heirs fought fiercely for the throne, bringing chaos to the country.

This made the late emperor sit up in shock in his dying illness, thinking that he was not even dead yet, but these brothers and unfilial sons had already started fighting for the throne.

In a rage, he decided to pass the throne to his most beloved youngest daughter and secretly began to make various arrangements.

But after all, he was old and many things were beyond his control. The news that he intended to pass the throne to his youngest daughter was soon discovered secretly by those heirs who had great connections.

Soon after, the news was leaked by someone with ulterior motives, and as a result, Shanice was immediately hunted down by various forces.

At that time, Shanice was still traveling around the mainland, and when she suddenly learned the news, she had no time to do anything.

They were caught in an endless pursuit.

When she was on the verge of despair, a powerful and mysterious woman suddenly appeared, helped her eliminate all the pursuers, and safely escorted her to the elven royal family who were on good terms with Shanice's mother.

Before leaving, the mysterious woman handed Shanice this marriage contract:
"If you think I've done you a favor, please sign your name on the woman's side of this marriage contract as a token of your gratitude."

Shanice:
"What if I don't sign?"

The woman's voice was calm, as if saving the future heir to the Central Empire was a very common thing:

"Then consider it as saving the wrong person."

Shannis took the marriage certificate and asked:

“Why is the man’s column blank?

Can't I even know my own husband's name?"

A rare flicker of tenderness flashed across the woman's face as she answered Shanice's question:
“He is my son.

As for his name and identity, you will naturally see it when the time is right!"

Shanice continued:
"If I can return home safely this time, I will most likely become the empress of the Central Empire.

As the emperor, my partner must also be the son of the gods. Otherwise, not only will my country not agree, but even the other four empires will oppose it!"

The countries on the continent with a history of more than a thousand years have royal families that more or less contain the blood of human gods.

This kind of people are also called "sons of the gods".

The reason why Cohen was able to subdue the "Demon of Terror" Akdimon with the "Charter of Gods and Demons" was because of his identity as the "Son of the Gods".

When Shanice asked this question, she actually implied that she was testing the other party's true identity.

The mysterious woman raised her lips slightly, but did not answer directly:
"What a clever little girl! I'm so excited for us to become a family in the future!"

The memory came to an abrupt end. Shanice stroked the blank name of the man on the marriage certificate, with pride in her eyes:
"No matter your mother's background or your status, if you want to be the husband of the Central Empire's Empress, you have to rely on your own abilities!"

Shanice put away the marriage contract and chose to tell Victor about this matter today, mainly because she hoped that he would speak for her in the subsequent House of Nobles bill.

As for the engagement itself, she didn't care much about it. Anyway, the woman didn't give her a time limit.

After waiting for a hundred or eighty years, if this mysterious man is just an ordinary person or a low-level extraordinary person, then he can't blame me for not fulfilling the marriage contract when he dies of old age.

Her main purpose today was still Windsardler's whereabouts.

She had already seen the intelligence sent back from the "Lost Land" and she had a 70% suspicion that the so-called "elf lady" was Windsardler.

Now that I heard what Victor said, it was confirmed.

This made Shanice slightly annoyed.

Why did this woman go to the "Lost Land" without even saying hello!

And she became the wife of the leader of the "Infinity Blade" adventure group?
Shanice was almost out of breath.

There are so many things going on in the country and she is still waiting for Windsardler to come back to help her, but this woman is staying in the "Land of the Lost" to talk about love!

She quickly used secret means to activate a communication array between the two of them, contacted Windsardler, and started with a barrage of questions:
"Where did you find this wild man? You've been single for over a hundred years, how come you're suddenly feeling romantic and want to find a man?

Bring it back to me sometime and let me take a look. I'll check it for you!"

Windsardler instantly realized that it was her teacher who betrayed her. She sighed and replied:

"Your Majesty, please do not believe in unfounded rumors. I am currently doing something that will have a bearing on the future of our elves.

Your Majesty, please do not rush me. I will return home as soon as things here are over."

Hearing about the elves, the resentment in Shannis's heart was obviously reduced a little, and her voice became more serious as she asked:
"Is it related to that 'Infinity Blade' adventure group?"

Windsordale replied:

"Well, to be precise, it's related to that leader. He has something I must obtain, so I agreed to help him in the 'Land of the Lost'."

Shanice felt a little suspicious:
“Is it really that simple?

Just to help him, do I need to sacrifice my own reputation?

Don’t think that no one will know your identity just because you cover your face with a mask. You are a golden-level winged elf, and you are so young and beautiful.

How many are there in the entire continent?"

Windsardler replied with a guilty conscience:
"Okay, okay, I know what I'm doing. It's only a few months away anyway.

Let’s not talk about me, Shanice, why are you so irritable, as if you have eaten exploding crystal?

Who made you angry again?"

Shanice finally seemed to have found an outlet to vent her emotions, and she poured out her frustrations to her best friend:

"Who else could it be, that awful old man Heisenberg!
Relying on his contribution to the enthronement, he has begun to interfere in the emperor's marriage.

If it weren't for the fact that my father had great trust in him and appointed him as the regent, I would have kicked him out of the cabinet long ago.

What a bastard! Don't think I don't know what he's planning. Isn't he trying so hard to push his nephew to me?
He deserves it!"

Windsordale immediately shared a common hatred for the enemy:

"It's that old bastard again. Why does this old bastard always like to get involved in this kind of things?

It seems like he hasn’t learned his lesson from the last time I burned down his office!
He has the nerve to show off those ugly and useless nephews of his. Next time we meet, I will definitely teach them a lesson for you.

The toad wants to eat swan flesh, yet dares to covet the noble Empress. It's time to show them who is the true master of the empire! "

After hearing her best friend's angry scolding, Shanice immediately felt the blocked air in her chest cleared up a lot. She waved her hand and said:

"Not really. After all, he's a minister with great contributions and the head of the House of Nobles. It's better not to go too far."

Windsordale asked:

"So how are you going to deal with them?"

Shanice said:
"I've told your teacher about the engagement. He'll explain it to me when the time comes."

Windsardler frowned and asked:

"Is it the marriage contract that the woman who was worried that her son wouldn't be able to find a wife forced you to sign?"

Shannis said somewhat unhappily:
"What do you mean by forced? I signed it of my own free will. And next time, please don't add such a long adjective before the word 'benefactor'."

Windsordale said nonchalantly:
"I'm not wrong, Shanice, you're just too shameless, that old witch was just trying to provoke you.

What do you mean by 'then consider it as I saved the wrong person'? Did you please save him?"

Shanice didn't want to argue about this with her best friend, after all, they had different identities.

As the master of such a huge empire, she must set an example and not break her promise easily.

She changed the subject and asked:

"Don't lecture me. I asked you to investigate the eligible candidates. How are you doing?"

Windsordler said helplessly:

“My Queen, the scope you have given is too large.

According to the scope you mentioned, the royal bloodlines of countries on the continent that have existed for more than a thousand years all meet the definition of "Sons of the Gods".

There are many young men of the right age.

As for having a strong mother... this also requires screening one by one, which is a huge project.

Even my teacher couldn't figure out the man's name hidden in the engagement?"

Shannis nodded and said:

"It seems our guess was correct. This is indeed the work of a god."

Windsardler was astonished:
"You mean the woman who saved you was a deity?
How could a god be so boring?"

Shanice shook her head:

“It’s not necessarily a god, it could be some external force, like a semi-divine artifact or something.

But even so, this woman's strength and background should not be underestimated."

Windsardler said "Oh", as if he had thought of something, and quickly explained:
"By the way, if anyone in the clan asks about me, remember to keep it a secret for me and tell them that I'm in the 'Lost Land' on a secret mission under your orders.

Well, someone is here. I won’t say much. Let’s talk next time. Love you! "

After saying this, he hurriedly interrupted the communication circle.

Shanice was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this girl working for the future of the elves?

Why do you have to hide it from the elves?
Sure enough, she still didn't explain everything to me!
Shanice shook her head, sighed, and continued to bury herself in busy government affairs.

……

When Windsardler heard the noise outside, he quickly interrupted the communication circle.

Soon there was a knock on the door, and Cohen's voice came:
"It's me, are you asleep?"

"Not yet. What's up?"

"I think we'll have to leave early tomorrow morning. I want to tell you about the magic circle outside the altar where the 'Spark of Order' is buried."

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Cohen pushed open the door, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Windsardler was obviously getting ready for bed and had already changed into his bathrobe.

The silk nightgown rippled on her skin like water, and the lace trim emitted a faint halo under the dim magic light.

Windsordale lay lazily on the sofa, with the belt of her nightgown loosely tied, revealing a small part of her white calves and her plump, crystal-clear, delicate feet bare.

Her hair was a little fluffy, obviously she had just washed it, with a few strands hanging down beside her cheeks.

Windsordale waved her palms under Cohen's gaze. The collar of her nightgown opened slightly due to the movement of her hands, and her delicate collarbone was faintly visible in the shadows.

"never seen it?"

Cohen retracted his surprised gaze and exclaimed:
"It's less heroic and more feminine than usual.

It's hard to imagine that this is a powerful Gold Rank Ranger."

A sly look appeared in Windsardler's eyes. He lifted his jade feet and shook them in the air, saying:
"Teach me, I'm listening.

Well, come over and give me a foot massage."

Cohen was stunned, looking at the pair of delicate jade feet that came into view. The toes were plump like jade, curled up together, and stretched into a beautiful and moving curve.

His throat was a little dry, and he said:

"This is not good."

Although he said this, his feet had already moved to Windsardler's side.

Windsardler raised the corner of his mouth slightly, suddenly retracted his jade feet, curled up his legs, and said teasingly:

"You wish. If you want a woman, go find your wife. I won't be like someone who hooks up with a married man!"

Cohen's face froze. Knowing that Windsardler was still angry about what happened during the day, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Okay, it's getting late. I'll tell you how to break that formation..."

Seeing that Cohen was talking about serious matters, Windsardler put away his temper and listened carefully to Cohen's explanation. Her calm face exuded a unique charm.

Time passed quickly. After pouring the knowledge of cracking the altar array that he had read on the forum in his previous life into Windsardler, Cohen's tone became much gentler:

“You’ve really worked hard these days, if it weren’t for Miss Windsordler’s help.

Our Infinity Blade wouldn’t have developed so smoothly.”

Windsardelle stretched lazily, raised her slender arms high, and the cuffs of her nightgown slid down, revealing her arms as smooth and soft as lotus roots.

He slowly turned his neck, his silver hair swaying, revealing his pointed ears, and said:
"What? Feeling guilty?

I am not Nephthys or Freya, and you can't fool me with just words."

Windsordale's sexy and lazy style made Cohen look away slightly. He said seriously:

"I just want to tell you, Miss, about the relationship we've had over the past few days.

Even if there is no so-called deal between us, I am willing to accompany you and help you enter the ancient elf tomb and explore the secrets of the sleeping cave.

There are some things I kept from you at first because we had only known each other for a short time, but now I can tell you.

In fact, the way to enter the sleeping cave under the ruins of the Arcane Empire is not through the ancient magic circle.

Well, do you remember the book you used a few days ago that could trap Manager Moreau and the others into the secondary dimension?

Actually, that book was what I got from the ruins of the Arcane Empire.

It can help us pass through the outer magic barrier of the Sleeping Cave.

However, it is now in a semi-destroyed state and requires a lot of resources to repair.

The 100 kilograms of space stone I told you about before is the important repair material.

Don't worry, as long as I gather enough resources, I will repair this equipment immediately and accompany you to the Sleeping Cave."

Cohen's sincere confession stunned Windsordler.

A complicated expression appeared on her beautiful face. She was silent for a long while before saying:

"So you were still lying to me?"

Cohen's face fell, and he thought to himself, I've said so much, why do you only remember this one thing?

He hung his head and said helplessly:

"After all, we only had a short time to meet, and I don't know your personality. What if I tell you and you try to steal my equipment?"

Looking at Cohen's expression, Windsardler suddenly chuckled and waved his hand.
"Okay, your confession makes me feel a little better.

I won't bother about what happened before. Don't worry, I will get the 'Spark of Order' back safely for you.

As for the rest, well, I hope your so-called ripe time won’t be too far away.

I don't want to talk to a mask all day long!"

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

Windsordale yawned, turned around, and lay down on the sofa like a soft kitten.

The nightgown spreads out naturally along the curves of her body, perfectly showing the smooth and round curves of her shoulders, and the outline of her hips also looks more round and firm under the wrapping of the nightgown.

The hem of her nightgown was slightly lifted, revealing her tight legs and slender ankles, exuding an irresistible allure.

Windsordale's comfortable and soothing voice sounded:
"I'm going to go out and do some work for you soon. Come and help me massage you. Keep your hands still and don't move around!"

……

Cohen took out the "Book of Time and Space". His original plan was to imprint the time and space nodes in the Farmer City-State so that he could travel back and forth between the two places.

But after thinking about it, I felt that this place was after all under the sphere of influence of the "Mysterious Continent". If the Lord of the Sequence, Belmodi, had some means to monitor the fluctuations in space, it would be easy to be exposed.

Therefore, he decided to wait until his "Oasis of Order" was established before branding the space node.

After putting away the "Book of Time and Space," Cohen prepared himself and set out to meet the "Musician." Just as Cohen reached the agreed location outside the "Cultivator City," a faint female voice rang out from behind him:
"Have you finished saying goodbye to your girls?"

Cohen turned around and the "performer" appeared behind him.

He replied calmly:
"As expected of a senior intelligence officer under the 'Demon Lord', his gossip skills are truly remarkable."

Mavis raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a stern face:
"A mere fourth-level being actually dares to mock a ninth-level transcendent?
It seems that your elf lady and eldest princess are not with you.

Who gave you the courage?"

Cohen's eyes remained calm:
"I'm here to fulfill my promise. If you don't need the potion formulas for the two paths to godhood, you can give it a try."

Mavis suddenly smiled and said:

"As expected of the 'Lord of Shadows', no wonder he can speak so freely in front of saints and legends.

Regardless of his strength, his magnanimity is truly impressive."

Hearing the other party expose his identity, Cohen's expression changed slightly and suspicion arose in his heart.

The other party had indeed investigated him in detail and quickly connected him with the "Lord of Shadows".

The "Performer"'s intelligence capabilities are indeed outstanding.

Of course, what Cohen didn't know was that his identity was not exposed because of the "Performer's" excellent intelligence ability.

But it was Belmoody, the Lord of Sequence, who told Mephis.

Cohen would never have imagined that the most capable intelligence officer under the Demon Lord was actually the Lord of Sequences's man.

Cohen praised:
"Your Excellency the Performer's intelligence capabilities are truly admirable."

Mavis' lips moved slightly and said:

"Come on, follow me to the Potion City.

As long as you can prove the authenticity of the potion formula you gave, I will speak for you to the Demon Lord.

As long as you can fill the gap left by the Petrov family, Chaos Demon Continent will not interfere with the operation of the Cultivator City-State, at least for a period of time."

Cohen nodded slightly, but did not follow. Instead, he suddenly said meaningfully:
"I have an idea that would be very beneficial to both sides. I wonder if Your Excellency the 'Musician' would be willing to listen to it?"

Mavis stopped and looked at Cohen with curiosity:

"Tell me, what are you planning?"

Cohen took out a soul contract and said calmly:
"As Your Excellency has seen, my 'Infinity Blade' adventure group has successfully taken control of the 'Cultivator City-State'.

In the future, I will further expand my influence in the 'Lost Land'.

The strength of the few girls in my team alone is a little insufficient, so I would like to make a deal with you."

Mavis looked at the soul contract in Cohen's hand with great interest, sensing the mysterious aura on it, and said:

"What deal?"

Cohen continued:

"My team currently includes a [Financial Officer], [Political Officer], [Secretary], [Diplomat], [Logistics Officer], and [Military Officer].

Well, I think in order to survive and thrive in the Lost Land, we need an experienced and charismatic [Intelligence Officer]!"

Cohen pushed the soul contract in front of Mavis, and his voice showed no emotion.

Mavis stretched out her delicate jade finger, pointed at herself, and couldn't suppress the sarcasm in her voice:
"You mean, you want to win me over and let me join your adventuring group?

I didn't hear it wrong.

A newcomer of the third... well, fourth level, is recruiting a powerful ninth level transcendent, the mayor of a high-order city-state, as his subordinate? "

Cohen nodded seriously, his tone calm:

"It's not official. After all, this is the first contact between us, including between you and my team.

The two sides don't know each other well enough, so I can't accept you as an official member of the Infinity Blade team.

Therefore, you will not be able to access some of the team's secrets and benefits for the time being.

Well... it's similar to labor dispatch. I pay you, and you provide me with intelligence and temporarily act as the [intelligence officer] in our team.

I can terminate the agreement at any time, and of course, if you feel it is not suitable, you can withdraw at any time."

Mavis couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"So after all this fuss, I'm still a non-staff member?
Tell me, why?

Mavis was not angry at Cohen's big talk.

Belmodi and her sister Rosalina, who was hiding in the "Black Tomb", had already given her a copy of all the information about the "Lord of Shadows" in detail.

Analyzing from the intelligence, the "Lord of Shadows" is not a person who talks big.

So she was willing to give the other party a chance to explain.

Cohen gathered his spirits and said in a deep voice:
"With the potion formula of 'Le Shen Sequence'!

This recipe is not for the Legendary level, nor for the Saint level.

Instead, it's a complete set of potion formulas and combinations, from the Bronze [Drummer], Silver [Dancer], Gold [Performer], Legendary [Master Conductor], Saint [Creator], all the way up to the Supreme [God of Music]!"

The words that came out of Cohen's mouth made Mavis's thoughts pause for a moment.

It took her a long time to come to her senses and realize what Cohen was talking about.

The other party actually possesses the magic potion formula for the "Music God Sequence" that leads to godhood?

How can this be?

Mavis felt absurd.

She had previously spent a lot of money to go to the Prophecy Church on the human continent to do divination.

Even the Church of Prophecy could not accurately divine the formula for the legendary [Master Commander], but only gave a rough range.

And this young "Lord of Shadows" actually swore that he knew the potion formula of the "Music God Sequence" up to the stage of becoming a god. If it were not for the various information passed on by Belmodi and Rosalina.

She will definitely think that this guy is fooling her!

Mavis quickly suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and asked in a deep voice:
"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Cohen nodded calmly.

"I know very well that as long as you are willing to make this deal, I will naturally prove to you whether my words are true."

Mavis fell into deep thought.

Coenti's deal was too big, and she couldn't make up her mind for a moment.

Cohen smiled faintly and said:
"You don't have any strange loyalty to the 'Demon Lord', do you?

As far as I know, loyalty is a luxury for most people in the Lost Land.

They value profit more than this.

Weren't you also attracted to join Chaos Demon Continent because of the formula they used to advance from the eighth to the ninth level of [Musician]?"

Mephis' heart suddenly jumped. The other party actually knew about this?
It's terrible!
The reason why Mephis chose to lurk in the Chaos Demon Continent was not only because he wanted to keep an eye on the powerful and malicious neighbor beside him for the Lord of Sequences, Belmodi.

More importantly, the Demon Lord of Chaos Demon Continent claimed that he had the formula to advance from the eighth level to the ninth level of [Performer].

Although this matter is not top secret, it is old news.

How could he, a newcomer who had only been in the "Lost Land" for a few months, know so much?
Mavis suppressed his doubts and said in a serious tone:

"This is a serious matter. I need to discuss it with someone."

Cohen frowned slightly and said:
“Discuss with others?
I believe that our transaction should be kept confidential and no third party should know about it."

Mavis shook his head and said:
“That’s a prerequisite for me to agree to a deal between the two of us.

But don't worry, this person is not an outsider.

She is my family and would definitely not do anything to harm me."

Cohen listened to the other party's address and fell into thought:
A female relative?

In the previous game, I never heard that the "Performer" had any female relatives.

It is said that in the previous life, the game company did not even reveal the true identity of the "performer".

At least before the "War of the Titans" expansion was loaded, the game company did not announce the true identity of the "Performer".

Cohen thought about it for a while. After all, the other party was a non-staff member and would not be involved in the core secrets of the team.

You can let her discuss it with her relatives.

After all, Mephis's intelligence ability is very important to the "Infinity Blade" at this stage, and he also needs a ninth-level transcendent to stand up for him.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Yes, but only this one person knows about it."

Mavis nodded, waved his hand lightly, and disappeared in an instant.

Mephisto naturally went to report to the Lord of Sequences, Belmodi.

Join the "Infinity Blade" adventure team and obtain the complete potion formula and combination of the "Le Shen Sequence".

This matter must be discussed with Belmoody.

After all, he was joining a faction, even if he was a temporary non-staff member.

Mavis also has to make sure that his actions will not interfere with the Witch's plans.

What Cohen said just now was half right. The people of the "Lost Land" can be without "loyalty", but they cannot be without "family affection".

Belmodi is like a family member to the two Tinuviel sisters.

The two sisters were raised by Belmodi, who was like a mother and an older sister to them.

Therefore, Belmoody's opinion should be sought both in public and in private.

Arriving at the secret place, Mavis contacted Belmoody directly and told her about the deal between Cohen and her.

Belmodi was also very surprised and asked:
"Does he really have the complete formula for the 'Music God Sequence'?"

Mavis replied:
"He meant that if I would take the trade, he would prove it to me."

Belmodi immediately became interested:

"I didn't expect this kid to have this skill. It seems like he was born to be from our Mysterious Continent!
This is a good thing. Isn't it just joining his adventure team? I agreed.

Anyway, the 'Cultivator City-State' that his adventure group now controls belongs to the sphere of influence of our Mysterious Continent.

He is one of ours, too.

You won't lose out by joining them, and you can even get a complete 'Music God Sequence' formula for free. This deal is truly a steal."

Mavis said hesitantly:

"But he still has to sign a soul contract. What if there are any confidentiality requirements..."

Belmodi waved his hand generously and said:

"As long as the confidentiality he requested doesn't endanger the safety of our Mysterious Island, then keep it secret. You won't have to report everything to me then; you can make your own decisions.

These are minor details; the key point is whether the other party really possesses the formula for the 'Music God Sequence'.

You must see this clearly and don’t be fooled by him.”

Mavis nodded seriously.

Belmodi suddenly thought of something, was silent for a while, and said hesitantly:

"I've met this 'Lord of Shadows' once, and he does have a certain charm.

Moreover, he has several young and beautiful ladies around him. Men like him are usually very..."

Mavis was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said shyly:
"Don't worry, sister. I'm not a fool who will get away with a single trick. His sweet words won't work on me."

Belmodi's anxious look at this moment did not seem like a legendary witch in charge of an "oasis of order", but more like a parent who was worried that her daughter would be deceived by others.

Belmodi nodded and said:
"Just be sensible. The identity of the 'Shadow Lord' is too mysterious. We can only cooperate with him. As for a deeper relationship, it's best not to have one for now."

Mevis took Belmoody's instructions seriously.

She quickly added:
"Don't tell Meilansha about it for now, lest she worry."

Belmodi replied:

"I know what's going on. By the way, your sister has returned to the Black Tomb headquarters and may have to return to the Northwest Continent soon.

I heard that 'Black Tomb' is preparing to rebuild its Northwest branch there. Rosalina is the preparatory specialist and is responsible for personnel deployment. If there is nothing else, try not to contact her.

There is a high possibility that a legendary figure will appear around her in the near future."

Mavis nodded, and the two chatted about something else before hanging up the phone and leaving.

Mavis returned to Cohen's side, stared into his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"How are you going to prove it to me?"

Cohen remained calm on the surface, but he was secretly wondering in his heart, has the other party already discussed this with his relatives?

I’m really curious about what female relatives the famous “musician” had in his previous life!
He regained his composure and said calmly:
"The potion combination is 'Vocal III', 'Command I', and 'Advanced Studies I'.

This is the potion combination for advancing from the ninth-level [Performer] to the legendary level [Master Conductor].

You are now at the peak of the ninth level and should have taken 'Vocal III'.

The next potion order is 'Command I' and 'Advanced Studies I'.

As long as your body and willpower allow, after taking 'Command I', you can be promoted to Half-Step Legend and touch the threshold of Legend.

Then you will know whether what I said is true.

If you still have doubts, you can take this potion combination to the Church of Prophecy for direct verification.

Of course, if that happens, the secret of how you obtained the legendary potion combination will likely be revealed."

When Mephis heard the three combinations from Cohen's mouth, he already believed him about 70%.

When she asked the Church of Prophecy for divination, although they did not give her an exact combination, the latter two potions were indeed within that general range.

The most important of these is the potion called "Command I".

Even the knowledgeable Lord of Sequences, Belmodi, had never heard of this potion. It was also from the divination of the Church of Prophecy that Mephis learned of the existence of such a potion.

Now that he heard this name from Cohen's mouth, Mavis felt that the other party was not lying.

She pondered for a long while, and finally nodded slowly under Cohen's expectant gaze:
"What about the contract?

Bring it to me and have a look."

Cohen handed the contract to Mavis, who read the terms carefully.

There was nothing particularly difficult about the above content. The general meaning was that Mephis provided intelligence services to the "Infinity Blade" adventure group and secretly served as the director of the External Security Bureau of the "Cultivator City-State".

If necessary, Mephis will take action for the "City-State of Farmers".

In return, the other party will give Mephis the complete combination and formula of the "Le Shen Sequence" potion.

He is also responsible for preparing the potion when Mephis is promoted to the legendary level.

Is it just to break through to the legendary level?
Even if there is a complete recipe for a new potion, it is difficult to successfully prepare it without multiple experiments.

Moreover, most of the potion materials required for the legendary level are very precious. If the other party can configure them, it would be great.

Mavis stared at Cohen and said:

"There are still three more stages in the Legendary rank. Can't you just prepare these potions for me?"

Cohen's eyes flashed with cunningness, and his voice was full of temptation:
“This is a benefit only official members of my group can enjoy.

If you can get my approval and swear absolute loyalty to me.

Not to mention the legendary level, even for the saint level and supreme level potions, I can help you configure them successfully and even help you reduce the risks of taking potions.

The question is, can you do it?"

Mavis's eyes turned darker, and he said faintly:

"When you say loyalty, don't you mean becoming your wife or lover like the girls in your team?"

Cohen was stunned when he heard this, and soon a look of indignation appeared on his face. He said angrily:

"Who did you hear that rumor from?

Who is slandering my character again?
The relationship between me and the members of the group is purely friendship. The words "wife" and "lover" are slanderous, absolutely slanderous!"

Mavis raised his eyebrows slightly. You can't say that the Witch has labeled you as a playboy or a lustful person.

She said calmly:

"You also said that the people of the 'Land of the Lost' don't need loyalty.

That’s all for now. As for future potions, we’ll talk about it after I reach the legendary level.

Now you should tell me how to sign this contract and what the Directorate General of External Security is!"

Cohen calmed himself down and said:

"Just stain the contract with blood.

Also, a friendly reminder, this is a soul contract from the ancient elves, so don't try to crack it lightly."

As he said this, he cut his finger and imprinted a drop of blood on the contract.

The corners of Mavis' mouth twitched slightly, and he scratched his slender fingers, branding the contract, and said:
"Did your elven wife give it to you?"

Cohen smiled but didn't answer, then continued with the previous topic:
"As for the External Security Bureau, it's an intelligence agency I established in the Cultivator City-State. It's primarily responsible for collecting, analyzing, and evaluating political, economic, and military intelligence from the Lost Land, providing intelligence support for the city-state's security and decision-making.

This department now has a deputy director, his name is Ryder Gallo, he used to be a staff member of the Blood Lord, I'm sure you should be familiar with him..."
