Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 149 Isabella's Scarlet "Settlement of Accounts" ( words extra for the guardian "Little Lizi Lee"!)

(Thanks to the guardian "Little Lizi Lee" for the 10000-point reward. Thank you, boss, you are so generous!!!

Today I'm adding 10,000 words for my boss!
In any case, Mavis's original intention was to praise the girls' beauty.

The mayor of a high-level city-state and a peak-level transcendent who is half a step away from becoming a legend took the initiative to show goodwill. This action itself has already shown everyone his willingness to actively integrate into this team.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more harmonious.

Cohen also briefly introduced to everyone the reasons and consequences of Mephis joining the group. When they heard that Cohen went to the Kingdom of Ceylon to steal a legendary magic equipment from the third prince, the eyes of several people looked at Cohen with a hint of complicated meaning.

Especially Windsordler, his eyes were instantly filled with many indescribable emotions.

I am here working tirelessly for your career without a single complaint.

You, on the other hand, are trying to get a founding marshal's sword for a woman you've only known for a few days.

You have time to find potion ingredients for Mavis, but no time to find the Space Stone to repair the "Book of Time and Space", right?

The original promise has been forgotten long ago. Men’s words really can’t be trusted!
Thinking of this, the expression on Windsardler's face gradually became colder.

Cohen quickly noticed the emotions emanating from Windsardler and realized that something was wrong with him.

Windsardelle worked for me for such a long time in vain, but I didn't even fulfill a single promise.

Thinking of this, he thought about his next plan.

Windsardler's reaction reminded him that it was indeed time to visit the dwarf tribe.

Whether it is to trade space stones or entrust the dwarves to create the "Star Guardian Armor", this trip is imperative, and the sooner the better.

The situation in the royal capital of Florence is becoming more and more bizarre day by day, and it is already the calm before the storm.

Herman hasn't contacted me for a long time, which means that his current situation is very serious. Perhaps he has begun to be involved in the core transaction between Justice Gore and the DuPont family.

He is under close surveillance and cannot pass any information to the outside world.

All signs indicate that he must build an "elite-level" or above army as soon as possible to deal with various possible crises.

Thinking of this, Cohen said:

"Regarding our next move, I am thinking like this -

Windsordler, Grace, and Mavis, the three of you join forces to ignite the fire.

If this 'spark of order' burns completely, it will be enough to create a new 'oasis of order'.

The crux of the matter now is that we do not have enough manpower and strength to protect such a large area.

Moreover, the new "Order Solid Land" only has the rough outline of a city, and many infrastructure projects have to start from scratch.

As the place becomes larger, financial pressure will also come with it, and there is also the population. It is impossible for so many people to flock in within a short period of time.

Therefore, my suggestion is to proceed step by step, first opening up a portion of the 'Order Solidification Land', and then developing the subsequent 'Order Solidification Land' after our influence has expanded further."

As soon as Cohen finished speaking, Mavis couldn't help but speak first:

"You mean to say that you possess a spark powerful enough to restore an 'oasis of order'?"

Cohen nodded and said:
“Yes, my initial estimate is that even in the ‘Oasis of Order’, it will be a relatively large presence.

At least it’s bigger than the ‘Mysterious Continent’ we’re in.”

Mavis was even more surprised and quickly asked:
"Once the 'spark of order' is ignited, it is an irreversible process, and the process of order recovery will not stop.

What you just said doesn’t seem feasible.”

Cohen quickly replied:
"I will teach you a sealing formation. Once the fire is ignited, seal it and you will be able to stop the revival of order.

My initial plan is to revive three high-level order city-states, plus some floating islands, which is roughly equivalent to one-third of the territory of the 'Order Oasis'. What do you think?"

The girls had no objections, but Cohen finally said something pointedly:
"Also, after the new 'Order Solidification Land' is developed, I may have to go on a long journey.

Therefore, most of the things will still be left to you to do.”

Asuna said helplessly:

"Why are you going out again? Where are you going this time?"

Grace joked:

"Which girl has my captain taken a fancy to this time?
It's unlikely that he will bring back another sister for us this time!"

Cohen said helplessly:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I went to the dwarves to discuss the creation of armor.

Also, you have to trade some things.

Well, we're not leaving right away. We have to wait until we develop the 'Order Solidification Land' and stabilize it."

When Windsardler heard Cohen say that he was going to the dwarves to trade some things, his expression turned from gloomy to bright and he looked much better.

She could also guess that what Cohen traded was probably the Space Stone, which would be used to repair the "Book of Time and Space" and help her enter the ancient elf tomb beneath the ruins of the Arcane Empire!
……

Outside the Cultivator City, on the vast "wasteland", all the members of the "Infinity Blade" adventure group, except Arnold and Margaret who are training the army, are here.

Asuna, dressed in a professional suit, meticulously reported to Cohen on the work related to the population attraction policy:
"...The City Lord's Mansion has received inquiries from many organizations and forces, primarily those that were driven out of other 'Order City-States' or 'Order Floating Islands' after failing to compete.

These organizations and teams are generally weak, but have many followers and cannot afford the high living expenses.

However, there are still concerns that our 'Cultivator City-State' cannot sustain such a large population."

Cohen said:

"Don't worry, their concerns will be dispelled once the new 'Order Solidification Soil' is developed.

As long as the first group is there, subsequent populations will surely continue to flow in.”

Cohen paused and said to Windsardler:
"Inform the Solari family and have their construction team move in next week. The more people the better.

Tell them that within two months, I want to see three "orderly city-states" that can function normally.

Remind Precito that if they can't do it, I'm going to change them.

I heard that the alchemists in the 'Mechanical Continent' are also very capable in engineering construction."

In the extraordinary world, great power belongs to oneself. With the assistance of various extraordinary forces, the speed and ability of infrastructure will only be stronger than the technological society in Cohen's previous life.

Windsordale's thin lips lightly raised:

"No problem. I believe the Solari family will not let such a big business slip away in vain."

After arranging everything, everyone looked at the vast wasteland.

In the endless desolate "wasteland", the earth is cracked and dust and poisonous fog are flying all over the sky.

Various dangerous and mysterious magical turbulences appear and disappear from time to time.

Order collapsed and there was no life.

The dilapidated buildings are like silent giants, telling the story of their former glory and present desolation.

These were once symbols of the powerful civilization of the "Arcane Empire", but after its fall, they became "wastelands" that everyone avoided.

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Windsardler, Grace, and Mephis, the three Gold Levels:
"This time, we'll take charge with Mephis. She's already a half-step legend and has faintly touched upon the power of rules. Her control over the fire will be more stable.

The ignition process isn't difficult; the key is how to stop it later. Just follow what I taught you before and complete it step by step."

The three girls looked serious and answered yes at the same time.

After giving the order, Windsordeler tapped the air a few times with his slender jade fingers, and an extra-dimensional space array appeared, taking out the "Spark of Order".

When the fire appeared, everyone couldn't help but be attracted by it.

The fire is like a shining pearl, suspended in the void of the wasteland.

The whole body exudes a soft and mysterious light, sometimes interweaving like golden silk threads, sometimes rippling like blue ripples, which is extremely mysterious.

At the core of the fire, there seemed to be a dancing flame. This flame was not the ordinary orange-red color, but had a touch of mysterious and noble purple.

The surface of the fire is covered with mysterious patterns that are faintly visible, like ancient runes, which seem to be telling the glorious past of the "Arcane Empire".

The lines kept flashing with light, emitting a trace of regular power. The air around the fire was slightly distorted due to its existence, as if there was an invisible energy shield protecting this precious fire of hope.

Mephis took the initiative, his beautiful face showing a rare solemnity, and began to mobilize the magic power in his body.

Strands of magic power flowed out from the palm of his hand, rushing towards the fire like a lively stream.

As soon as the magic power approached the fire, the mysterious patterns on the surface seemed to come alive, began to flash more dazzling light, and began to wriggle little by little.

Seeing this, Windsordler and Grace also awakened the magic power in their bodies and joined in the process of lighting the fire.

With the injection of three powerful magical powers, the purple flame at the core of the fire began to jump violently, and the power of rules emitted became more and more intense.

The flames burned brighter and brighter, casting patches of purple on everything around them.

There was a powerful energy fluctuation in the air, as if a storm was about to come.

Suddenly, the fire burst into a brilliant light and surged around like a tide.

Wherever it went, the dust on the wasteland was instantly dispersed, and the cracked land trembled slightly, as if welcoming new life.

At the same time, a powerful force of rules, with a scorching breath, rushed straight into the sky and spread in all directions of the "Lost Land".

Everyone in the "Lost Land" felt this powerful aura.

A word popped up in many people’s minds - the spark of order!
On the mysterious island, at the top of the wizard tower, Belmodi's figure appeared at the highest point, gazing far away at the direction where the fire came from, which was the location of the 'City-State of Farmers'!

Feeling the breath of the vast fire, everything that happened before was connected together.

A trace of regret and understanding appeared on Belmodi's face.

She now finally understood why this "Lord of Shadows" asked her for the "Development Order".

Why do you insist on going to the "City-State of Farmers"?

He actually holds the "Spark of Order" in his hands!
Judging from the situation, at least the territories of two advanced "order city-states" can be recovered. It's really a bargain for him.

But he occupied the "City-State of Farmers" under his own banner. Needless to say, others must have thought that she was the one who ignited the fire.

This kid can even get my protection for free, it's really... Belmoody became more and more angry the more she thought about it. Not only did he seduce her sister away, but he also forced her to protect his forces.

Thinking of this, he flashed and went to the door to demand punishment!
In addition to the mysterious continent, the other four major forces -

The Twilight Realm from the "Twilight Continent", the Wolf Bandits from the "Night Moon Continent", the Touch of Black Magic from the "Chaos Continent", and the Alchemy School from the "Machine Continent" have all noticed the movement here.

After discovering that it was the territory of the Mysterious Island, several lord-level bosses secretly wished the woman good luck.

After realizing that the power of the fire could only rebuild a few "ordered city-states", he no longer had the desire to investigate.

It is not worth it to offend the most mysterious woman in the "Lost Land" for the sake of a few city-states.

However, in the Chaos Demon Continent, which is the closest to the Mysterious Continent, the Demon Lord still sent someone to deliver a message to the [Musician], asking her to take some time to pay attention to the situation there.

The Demon Lord could never have imagined that his most trusted subordinate was the one who ignited this "spark of order".

The Shadow Floating Island is located within the territory of the "Twilight Realm", one of the five oasis-level forces.

Grand Duke Roland's army had just finished resting and was preparing to consolidate the three floating islands of order that had been captured not long ago.

Suddenly I sensed a strong breath coming from afar.

The vampire deacon Vegard was slightly surprised and said in a deep voice:

"The Spark of Order!
Someone is igniting the spark of order!
Judging from this situation, at the very least, a complete and advanced "ordered city-state" can be created."

A trace of envy flashed across Grand Duke Roland's eyes. He had been busy for so long but hadn't even touched the shadow of a city-state, while others could easily create an "orderly city-state" by just lighting a fire. It was really frustrating to compare oneself with others.

"Looking at this direction, it should be the mysterious island of the Sequence Lord.

This woman is not easy to mess with. It's just a city-state, and I guess the other forces won't make any big moves."

Hearing about the "Mysterious Continent", Grand Duke Roland's expression changed and he asked:

"Can you tell me the exact location?"

Vegard nodded and said:

"We have people in the Mysterious Island. I'll send a message to ask."

Grand Duke Roland had a premonition that this burning spark of order might be related to the "Lord of Shadows"?
He is now in the mysterious island.

Soon, Grand Duke Roland's premonition became a reality.

"A cultivator city-state?"

Grand Duke Roland's face suddenly became dejected, and he shook his head and said:

"No need to check. I'm certain it's the work of that 'Shadow Lord'."

Grand Duke Roland sighed deeply, looked at the three hundred elite guards under his command, and said after a long silence:
"Come on, kids, I'll take you home!"

Hearing Grand Duke Roland's words, the vampire deacon Vegard was suddenly startled and asked:

"Is His Royal Highness the Grand Duke going to..."

Grand Duke Roland smiled bitterly and said:
"I guarantee that no matter how much 'Order Solid Earth' this Spark of Order can create, it will ultimately belong to the 'Lord of Shadows' alone."

Vegard said in disbelief:

"How is that possible? That person is only a Silver-rank elf at best, and there is only a Gold-rank elf by his side.

The Sequence Master is a Legendary-level transcendent. How could she tolerate the newly developed 'Order Solidification Land' belonging to someone else? "

Grand Duke Roland's face was filled with emotion, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions:
"That's right, he must be absolutely sure to do this.

You don't understand him. I personally experienced the Six Saints War that shocked the continent.

He is one of the few people who has observed the 'Lord of Shadows' up close.

This young man possessed an indescribable aura, a kind of calmness that remained in his heart towards everyone, regardless of whether they were gold, legends, or even saints.

He is always calm and composed, always relaxed and indifferent, as if nothing in this world can shake his heart.

Compared to his talent, scheming, and methods, I think his temperament is the most rare."

Vegard was surprised by Grand Duke Roland's high evaluation.

It was the first time that he felt frustration and loss from this noble and proud Grand Duke of the Empire.

Grand Duke Roland continued:

“I believe this is just the beginning.

Sooner or later, his name will stir up a huge storm in the 'Lost Land', just like it did in Florence before.

If we continue, it will only add to the joke and be a futile effort.

I'd better withdraw early and save some face.

These floating islands are my gifts to you, as a token of my gratitude for your care for us these days."

Vegard concealed his surprise and bowed solemnly to Grand Duke Roland:
"Your Highness, I also admire your magnanimity and broad-mindedness!"

After receiving the detailed information, Pacino Della, the second heir of the "Dark Wing Family" who was making great strides in Yeyue Continent, was so angry that he broke several cups.

Beside him, his cousin and staff member looked at the information solemnly and said in a deep voice:

"The Spark of Order, the 'Lord of Shadows' actually possesses a Spark of Order!
No wonder he is so confident that he can compete with us.

The Golden Winged Girl has indeed found a very powerful helper!"

Pacino said angrily:

"What kind of luck did this kid have that he could even get something like this?"

Ram quickly analyzed:
"But don't worry too much. The Sequence Lord won't sit idly by and watch the Shadow Lord occupy the newly opened territory. If he does, he'll only be making things easier for others."

Hearing this, Pacino's expression improved a little.

The observation team from the Pale Wings also received this news.

When they learned that the place where the "Spark of Order" was ignited was located in the "City-State of Farmers" on the Mysterious Island, as expected, almost everyone's eyes fell on Isabella.

Isabella raised her eyebrows and said:

"I haven't been in touch with him for a long time, and I don't know the details.

Let’s wait for the intelligence.”

Seeing Isabella's words, they didn't dare to force her to answer.

Several people were busy with their own affairs. After a while, the second heir from the "Purple Wing Family", Meyer Child, suddenly spoke:

"I heard that Mr. Shadow Lord's logistics route has started to be put into use?"

Isabella looked down at the document without raising her head and said calmly:
"Master Childe seems to be particularly concerned about the 'Lord of Shadows'."

Meyer smiled brightly:

"I love making friends with young talents. 'Lord of Shadows' is very much my cup of tea. I really hope to have a candid exchange with him."

Isabella said calmly:

"Don't try to trick me here, I don't know his true identity.

If you really want to know, why don’t you just go find him yourself?”

Seeing the atmosphere at a stalemate, Cruz Dela, a representative of the Dark Wing Family, tried to smooth things over:

"Second Young Master, do you have any ideas?"

Meyer smiled and said:

"Indeed, since Mr. Shadow Lord already has a relatively complete logistics route, why don't we give it a trial run?
Contact the dwarves and try to ship something first to see the effect?
It also facilitates our subsequent cost calculations and construction investment.”

Meyer's proposal instantly aroused everyone's interest.

Isabella frowned slightly and looked up at Meyer Child, who had a genuine smile on his face.

The latter looked calm and it was hard to tell whether he was planning anything bad.

Soon someone else said:
"Should I say it? This is a good idea. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well deliver a batch of goods and see how it goes. If the results are good, maybe we can end the observation early."

"That makes sense, but contacting the dwarves... I'll have to trouble the Golden Winged Daughter."

Several people put forward their opinions.

Isabella saw that everyone had reached a consensus and had no excuse to refute, so she said:

"This matter still requires the consent of the 'Lord of Shadow'.

Let me find a chance to contact him first." As he was speaking, intelligence came through.

The message was not from the Cultivator City-State, but from Grand Duke Roland.

After seeing the contents of the letter, they were all slightly moved.

Grand Duke Roland actually announced that he would give up the competition and withdraw directly!
It is also equivalent to declaring to give up that 20% profit.

This sudden news caught everyone off guard.

The rotating chairman quickly calmed down and said:

"Since we're going to discuss the trial run of the trade route with the 'Lord of Shadows', let's just call back all three of these forces.

Let’s have an impromptu meeting to discuss the current situation.”

Without Grand Duke Roland, it is essentially an internal competition within the "Pale Wings" family. Perhaps this competition can be ended early through coordination.

After discussing for a moment, everyone agreed to the proposal.

Isabella's face was calm as she silently looked at the letter in her hand. She had held many rounds of negotiations with Grand Duke Roland and knew him well. He didn't seem like someone who would give up easily.

She had a vague feeling that all this was related to Cohen, but she would have to wait until she met him to find out the details.

……

Cohen and his group walked on the "order-solid soil" where order had been restored.

After restoring three advanced "order city-states" and two "order floating islands", Cohen asked Windsardler and others to temporarily seal the fire.

Feeling the tremendous energy within the fire, I used about one third of it this time.

Several people walked in the prosperous city-state of the Arcane Empire a thousand years ago, and they all sighed.

The long period of chaotic order has erased all traces of the Arcane Empire's history, leaving only the outlines of dilapidated buildings that vaguely reveal its prosperity and prosperity at that time.

Fortunately, the basic outline of the city is still there, so there is no need to start all over again.

Cohen repeated the next stage of the task:
"First, let the Solari family's infrastructure team enter the city, and at the same time, let the forces and population interested in settling in the city-state begin to migrate here.

This is a huge workload, and Asuna alone can't do it. Mavis, if you're not busy, please help Asuna."

"it is good."

Cohen looked around and thought for a moment.

“It’s time to give our faction a name.

How about Endless Alliance?"

Before the girls could express their opinions, a cold voice suddenly rang out in their ears:

"'Endless Alliance'?
Interesting, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to establish a power in my territory without informing me!"

The cold voice, accompanied by a faint sense of oppression, enveloped everyone's heart.

Legendary level!
Being able to accurately locate the location of Cohen and others so quickly, and it was a female voice, there was no doubt that the person who came was the Lord of the Sequence, Belmodyi Wynyard.

Belmodi's appearance did not surprise Cohen.

I lit the fire right under someone else's nose, it's impossible for a legendary figure to remain indifferent.

Cohen greeted the other party and bowed.

Belmodi stared at Cohen for a while and said slowly:
"You didn't even give me a heads-up about such a big thing. Is this what you told me about our cooperation and friendship?"

Cohen nodded calmly and said slowly:

"It's my fault for not having the time to communicate with His Excellency the Sequence Master.

Now that you are here, I sincerely apologize to you."

Belmodi sneered:
"Only one apology?"

Cohen quickly said:

"I can exchange a secret with your Excellency, which I think is enough to make up for my mistake."

Belmodi nodded slightly, waved her hand, and the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Seeing Cohen being taken away, everyone except Mavis was shocked, with uneasy looks on their faces.

Mavis said:

"Don't worry, from what I understand, the Sequence Master won't do anything to him.

At most it’s just a minor punishment.”

Windsardler showed a trace of doubt and said:
"Strange, doesn't this Sequence Master know the [Performer] from Chaos Demon Continent?

Why didn't she react when she saw you?"

Mavis said calmly:

"The Mysterious Continent and the Chaotic Demon Continent are not mortal enemies, so why is it strange that I appear here?

They don't want to bother with me, probably because they think I'm not high enough."

Belmodi took Cohen to a quiet place and asked with interest:

"Tell me, what secret can calm my anger?"

Cohen said slowly:

"The secret of the [Performer]'s successful advancement to Half-Step Legend."

Belmodi looked at Cohen deeply. Why did he suddenly mention Mavis? Did he doubt her true identity?
That's impossible. Even the Demon Lord didn't realize Mephis's identity. How could this newcomer who has just been in the Lost Land for less than a year know it?

She asked calmly:

"What? It's your credit that the [Performer] broke through to the Half-Step Legendary stage?

No wonder she's here."

Belmoody was actually curious about how Mavis successfully broke through with Cohen's help.

It was just because of the soul contract that Mavis couldn't tell her directly.

Now that the other party is willing to exchange this secret, she is happy to see it happen.

Cohen found it amusing to see that Belmoody acted as if she was not familiar with Mavis, and he wanted to expose her lies in person and see her embarrassed reaction.

But then he gave up the idea. Since Mavis didn't want Belmoody to interfere in their relationship, he was willing to respect her choice.

Cohen adjusted his tone and said:

"Yes, Your Excellency should have sensed the aura of Mavis. It was with my help that she successfully broke through to the Legendary level and safely passed the dangerous period of taking the potion."

Then, Cohen told Belmoody the theories he had previously told Mephis.

Including "adaptability training", "quality grade classification of potions", "how to avoid risks of taking potions", etc.

"Well, is this secret enough to express my apology to you, sir?
For you Sequencers, this should be considered a priceless treasure!"

Belmodi's expression was slightly stiff, and there was a flash of surprise in his dark purple pupils.

Cohen's theory about potions made her feel a kind of excitement and joy that she could hardly contain.

It is as if a door full of hope has been opened for the career that I have been striving for all my life.

A myriad of complex emotions surged up.

No wonder that silly girl Mavis was willing to make such a great sacrifice. If what Cohen said was true, even she would almost lose control.

Belmodi concealed his unnecessary emotions, nodded, and then asked:
"Did you research all this yourself?"

Cohen replied:

"Half of it is my own research, and half of it is some inheritance from ancient times."

Belmoorti asked a key question:
"The 'adaptive training' of different Sequencers should be different. How much have you mastered?

Also, how much do you know about those high-quality potions, and how much can you prepare?"

Cohen smiled slightly and said:

"At least for your Excellency's 'Goddess of Destruction' sequence, I know exactly how to conduct adaptive training and prepare 'perfect' level potions.

Friendly reminder, when you break through from the lower Legendary stage to the middle stage, if you take the 'Perfect' quality 'Misfortune II', it can eliminate the side effects of taking 'Misfortune I'.

"Goddess of Destruction" sequence: Bronze rank [Eternal Night Witch], Silver rank [Sufferer], Gold rank [Condemner], Legendary rank [Cursed Witch], Saint rank [Lady of Disaster], Supreme rank [Goddess of Destruction].

The Lord of the Sequence, Belmodi, took this promotion sequence.

Her appearance was destroyed because of the side effects of taking the potion "Misfortune I" when she broke through the golden level [Condemner].

Belmodi's breathing quickened slightly, and he clenched his fists. After a few seconds of silence, he asked:

"Tell me your conditions."

Cohen smiled faintly and said:
"I haven't thought of it yet, so I'll just owe it to you for now."

Belmodi clenched his fists even tighter.

She really hoped that the other party would put forward some conditions instead of just saying nothing.

You should know that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay. As the debt grows, it will be difficult to repay it when you want to.

Cohen continued:

"But I can't help you configure it right now. At least wait until I reach level six.

I also want to remind you that the rest is fine, but the potion "Fall II" that you need to take when you finally break through from the Legendary rank to the Saint rank will also bring unexpected side effects.

You'd better not try it lightly."

Belmodi's expression became complicated. He was silent for a long time, and then his tone softened:

"I will help you take care of your 'Endless Alliance'.

At least the other oasis-level forces won't interfere with your development."

Cohen said seriously:
"Thank you very much."

Belmodi finally said:
"Tell me when you've decided on the terms. I don't like to owe others favors."

Cohen suddenly laughed and said:

"There is indeed one. I wonder if I will have the honor of glimpsing the Sequence Master's magnificent beauty once your appearance is restored."

"roll!"

A violent black wind blew over, and Cohen suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy.

When he regained consciousness, he found that Windsardler had supported him.

Mavis frowned slightly and asked:

"Did you make the Sequence Master angry?

How come it was thrown back to me?"

Cohen held his forehead and calmly said:

"Nothing, His Excellency the Sequence Master might have something to do, and he was in a hurry to leave, so he didn't control his strength well.

Okay, let’s go back.”

……

Three advanced city-states and two order floating islands. Cohen gave the naming rights to several girls.

After a period of discussion, the name was decided.

The largest of them, which Cohen regarded as the future base of "Infinity Blade", was simply named "Endless City".

Of the remaining two, one was named "Wind Wing City-State" and the other was named "Candle Castle".

The two floating islands are named "Warlock Island" and "Ranger Island".

On the road leading to the "City of Farmers", people flowed towards the "Endless Alliance" like a tide.

Most of them brought their families with them, carried bags on their backs, and had longing and hope for a new life on their faces.

An "orderly land" where you don't have to pay high living fees for three years is extremely attractive.

The young adventurers strode forward, swords on their backs, eager to show their talents in this land of new order.

There were also many businessmen who smelled business opportunities. Carriages loaded with various goods rolled on the avenue, making dull sounds.

With the guarantee of the Lord of Sequence, no blind forces come to interfere with the development of the "Endless Alliance".

Seeing that the situation had been initially stabilized, Cohen began to become a hands-off boss again.

Isabella sent him a message some time ago, saying that the "Pale Wings" observation group wanted to convene three parties for a mid-term meeting and asked him to go.

It just so happened that Mavis was also about to return to the Chaos Demon Continent, so Cohen took a ride with her.

……

The "Pale Wings" observation team directly rented a small "Floating Island of Order" in the "Mechanical Continent" as their base camp.

After entering the floating island, Cohen followed Isabella's instructions and came to an exquisite villa.

Cohen arrived at the door, but before he could knock, the door opened by itself.

After feeling the aura of the surrounding magic circle, Cohen was thoughtful.

A composite magic array that combines detection and defense is quite rare.

Cohen strode into the villa, looked around, and saw no one.

He closed his eyes and sensed carefully for a moment, and found that there was a woman's scent in a room on the second floor.

Cohen followed the scent and came to a spacious and bright study.

I knocked gently on the door, and Isabella's familiar voice came from inside:

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Cohen pushed open the door and his eyes lit up.

In the spacious study, sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and gently falls on the wooden floor.

Isabella sat quietly at the desk, wearing a simple and elegant white shirt, with her long black hair casually tied up.

There were a lot of documents in front of him, his fingers were constantly flipping through them, and his eyes were very focused.

Hearing the sound of Cohen coming in, she tilted her head slightly and revealed a gentle and intellectual smile.

Seeing Isabella's smile, Cohen felt much calmer.

Cohen said hello:
"haven't seen you for a long time."

Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly in response to Cohen's greeting and ignored him.

After waiting for a long time, he moved the chair behind him, slowly stood up, and walked towards Cohen.

Only then did Cohen realize that Isabella was only wearing a pair of pure black high-waisted leggings on her lower body. The hem of her white shirt even completely covered her shorts, making it look like she was not wearing anything underneath.

Barefoot, swinging her dazzling white legs, her toes as smooth and round as fine jade stepped on the wooden floor as she walked towards Cohen.

Cohen turned his gaze slightly to the side. Isabella had already come to Cohen and said calmly:

"Knowing it's been a while, you're still wearing a mask to meet me?"

Cohen was slightly startled, smiled bitterly, and took off the mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

Isabella stared at Cohen's face for a long time, until the latter felt a little embarrassed, then she spoke:

"If anyone knew that the face beneath the Shadow Lord's mask was so young, how many people would be shocked."

Cohen replied:

"So I'm very grateful to Miss Wen Ze for keeping the secret for me."

Isabella's thin lips moved slightly, and she walked over to the sofa beside her with her long white legs, leaned casually, and asked:
"You've been gone for so long, isn't your family worried?"

Cohen wisely did not mention too much about the other woman in front of one woman, but just said vaguely:

"Sister Queen... Her Majesty is very busy with her daily affairs and probably doesn't have time to deal with a king like me who has the intelligence of a child."

"Really? Then why did you insist on staying in Effiin when I asked you to come with me?"

Cohen said sincerely:
"Because I don't want the girl I value to be criticized in the family because of me."

Although Isabella knew that the other party was speaking sweet words, her red lips still curled up unconsciously.

She stretched out her pearly toes and said to Cohen:

"What are you standing there for? Come over here and give me a foot massage.

I heard that you are good at massaging women. Let me experience it for myself and see if it is true.

Also, by the way, what's going on with the City Lord's wife? I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened last time!"

Cohen's heart tightened, and he secretly cursed Grace as a traitor for actually reporting him to Isabella!

Damn it! Damn it!
I must find an opportunity to make things difficult for her when I get back.

Cohen's face showed embarrassment, and he walked slowly to Isabella. As soon as his hands touched Isabella's delicate feet, his heart was moved.

The delicate and warm touch slides across your fingertips like silk, just like touching the finest white jade, smooth and slightly cool.

For no reason, Cohen secretly compared Isabella's feet with those of his sister, the Queen.

Well, they are equally good. It’s a pity that the queen dodged too quickly and I didn’t seize the opportunity.

The curve of Isabella's soles was graceful and natural. Cohen's fingers slid slowly along the curve and could feel the slight ups and downs.

The toes were round and cute. Gently stroking them felt like touching tiny pearls. Cohen couldn't help but play with them.

Not long after playing, he heard Isabella's angry voice:

"Is that how you massage that winged elf?"
