Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 162 Miss Mavis, besides playing the piano, can you also play the flute?

Faced with Isabella's unyielding attitude, the representatives had no other choice but to report to the families behind them and ask for countermeasures.

The opinions of the major families were quickly passed back.

As expected by Isabella, the other four-winged families all agreed to this distribution plan.

For them, it is of great significance to allow the "Melting Tribe", which is of the same size as the "Fire Hammer Tribe", to join the cross-racial trade plan.

This is equivalent to doubling the scale of the previous plan. They have no reason to exclude the "Melting Tribe" because of some interest divisions.

What's more, this is the descendant family of the "God of Melting".

Although the high-tech style of the "Forged Tribe" is unpopular in the Dwarf Alliance, it is completely the opposite in the human world.

Especially for transcontinental trade organizations like the Pale Wings, they have many high-level figures to serve and have a higher demand for high-end products and goods.

High-end weapons and equipment are needed, created by the descendants of these "Gods of Forging".

With the resolutions of their respective families, the observation team did not waste too much time and produced the profit distribution agreement after the participation of the "Melting Tribe" in just one day.

Cohen signed this agreement directly with "Pale Wings" in the name of "Endless Alliance".

After the agreement was signed, it meant that Cohen's affairs here were almost dealt with.

Of course, it is inevitable that I have to be separated from Isabella for a while.

Isabella really wanted to go with Cohen to his "Endless Alliance" to take a look. Of course, as to whether to see the beautiful women under someone's command or to see something else, although Isabella didn't say it, Cohen had a hunch in his heart.

Fortunately, his cheap father-in-law was helpful enough. Isabella's father, Aziz Wenze, the head of the Golden Wing Family, knew that his daughter had returned.

He sent her a very stern letter, ordering her to stop indulging in love affairs and to hurry to the Kingdom of Ceylon to deal with the major changes that might occur in the political situation of the Kingdom of Ceylon in the future.

The second elder who was sent by Aziz to the Kingdom of Ceylon for secret investigation has returned.

It is simply unrealistic for Andre, who is at the gold level, to avoid the second elder at the saint level and contact Prince Xia Zuo.

Andre could never have imagined that he, who had tried to keep a low profile, would be targeted by a saint, and that this saint was from the "Golden Wing Family" that they were carefully planning to take down.

Therefore, the second elder easily found out the true relationship between Andre and Prince Xia Zuo of the Eastern Territory Empire.

This means that Cohen's previous speculation was completely correct.

Prince Xia Zuo had already started planning against the "Golden Wing Family" since the attack on the royal court of Aifeiyin a year ago.

Their sinister intention to control the political situation of the Kingdom of Ceylon and the Principality of Effiin, and take control of three seaports that are vital to the "Golden Wing Family", thereby holding the "Golden Wing Family" hostage has become obvious.

After receiving this confirmed news, Aziz couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He secretly deduced it and was convinced that Prince Xia Zuo's plan had a high probability of success. If that time really came, their Jinyi family might really suffer a big setback.

But of course he would not accept Cohen's favor. Even his precious daughter was deceived away by him. It was absolutely impossible for Aziz to thank Cohen.

Aziz wrote to Isabella not only to warn the two of them to be careful of the impact, but more importantly, the situation in the Kingdom of Ceylon required a powerful figure from the "Golden Wing Family" to take charge.

After much thought, Isabella is the most suitable.

Prince Xia Zuo's actions are already too far ahead, they must act quickly and take countermeasures.

Isabella also knew that the situation was urgent and not the time to be sentimental.

After spending some time with Cohen, he rushed to the Kingdom of Ceylon at the urging of Mr. Modor, who had already arrived at the "Lost Land".

After sending Isabella away, Cohen had no reason to stay in the "Mechanical Continent". After contacting Mephis, the latter drove a spaceship to pick Cohen up.

……

The capital of the "Mechanical Continent" is an advanced city-state called "Alloy City-State".

The place Cohen and Mephis agreed to meet was a top-notch restaurant in the "Alloy City-State".

Cohen arrived at the meeting place on time. As soon as he entered the door, he heard bursts of heavenly piano sounds.

Following the sound, he found an area inside the restaurant surrounded by guests.

Those who can dine in this restaurant are all upper-class people from the "Mechanical Continent" and they have at least some decency and quality.

Although there were a lot of people crowded together, surprisingly there was no noise. Everyone was appreciating the wonderful piano music with amazement on their faces.

There was a luxurious piano in that area, and a stunning woman in a gorgeous silk dress was sitting in front of the piano.

Her face is calm and elegant, her eyes are like stars, her slender white fingers rest lightly on the piano keys, and every note she presses is like an elf dancing in the air.

Every dance of the fingertips brings out a beautiful melody, like ripples on the shimmering lake under the moonlight, immersing the entire restaurant in this beautiful and dreamy atmosphere.

Cohen couldn't help but immerse himself in it, feeling as if his entire soul had been cleansed.

The music of the piano gradually stopped, and everyone's face showed an expression of wanting more.

A well-dressed middle-aged nobleman sighed:

“It’s indescribably wonderful, like being intoxicated.

I'm afraid even the court musicians of the human empire can hardly reach this level.

If I could hear her play the piano once a day... no, even once a month, it would be the ultimate enjoyment!"

There were many people who had this idea. They all looked at the beautiful lady in front of the piano, hoping to find out her true identity.

Especially when feeling the subtle and amazing aura from the other person, this desire for knowledge becomes even stronger.

Not only is he a powerful extraordinary being, he is also an outstanding artist. His extraordinary power combined with artistic talent can definitely bring people the ultimate audio-visual feast.

At this time, the woman's pleasant voice sounded:

"This is the full version of 'Angel Waltz'. You should be gentler in this position..."

Only then did everyone realize that there was a young girl standing next to the woman.

The woman smiled gently, placed her slender fingers on the girl's hand, and patiently guided her movements.

The movements are so elegant and noble that people can't help but be mesmerized.

The owner of this high-end restaurant was standing not far away, looking at the girl with surprise and doting eyes.

After finishing the instructions, the woman made way and gave the other person an encouraging look.

The girl took a deep breath, her expression became much more serious, she sat down at the piano and began to play according to the woman's instructions.

Another song ended, but it was obviously very different from the one played by the stunning woman just now.

After giving a few more careful instructions, the woman stood up and prepared to leave.

Before he had taken a few steps, a group of people surrounded him.

However, due to the unfathomable aura of the other party, they all stopped a few meters away from the woman.

A man in a suit and tie asked the first question:

"Excuse me, Miss, would you consider a commercial performance?

The rewards are absolutely generous!"

The people around him also started talking at once. Their previous respectability and gentlemanly demeanor were completely wiped out after hearing this level of piano performance:

"Our family greatly admires artists like you. Could you please invite us to our family dinner?"

"We are a large business group from the 'Machinery Continent' and are planning a series of high-end business banquets. I wonder if you would be interested in serving as the chief pianist for our banquets?"

……

The stunning woman was naturally Mephis Tinuviel. She frowned slightly and was about to speak when she saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Mavis's lips curled slightly, and he replied softly:

"Sorry, I'm a private performer and don't accept external activities."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked straight to Cohen's side, and in the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, she took Cohen's arm with the delicate hands that had just played wonderful music.

Cohen clearly felt that the atmosphere in the entire restaurant had become stagnant.

Everyone couldn't believe what they saw.

They believed from the bottom of their hearts that no one of the opposite sex could stand shoulder to shoulder with such a perfect and impeccably elegant lady.

Not to mention she also shows the look of a "virtuous wife".

Cohen could hear the sounds of countless heartbreaks.

Cohen secretly sighed that beauty is a disaster. In order to avoid meaningless jealousy and show-offs, he quickly pulled Mavis out of the restaurant.

Even the restaurant owner didn't have time to thank Mavis.

On the street, Mavis loosened his arms without leaving a trace, and Cohen didn't care. He asked:

"Why did you suddenly want to play the piano?"

Mavis replied:
"I saw that little girl had some talent, so I just gave her some pointers."

Cohen praised sincerely:

“Although I’m an outsider, I can still tell that Ms. Mavis’s playing is very high.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a spiritual cleansing for me.”

Mavis smiled charmingly, rolled his eyes, and said:
"is it?
How about you tell me the 'adaptability training' methods for several potion sequences and the recipes for configuring 'perfect' level potions with these sequences?

In exchange, I can play the piano for you every day at home and be your exclusive performer. How about that?

Cohen thought seriously for a moment and said:
“Just playing the piano?

The one who takes up the silver rank in the [Music God Sequence] is the [Dancer].

I'm curious if Miss Mavis's dancing skills are as good as her piano skills."

Mavis gave Cohen a coquettish roll of the eyes:

"Want to see me dance?

Of course, if you take off the mask, not only can you watch me dance, I won’t refuse you to dance with me.”

Cohen's mouth twitched slightly, and he said:

"Well, you better remember what you said today!"

The tips of Mavis's fair ears turned red, and he quickly concealed his emotions and said:

"Well, let's go! Your women are waiting for you!"

Cohen blinked and suddenly asked:
"Miss Mavis is such a great piano player, I wonder how good she is at playing the flute?"

Mavis frowned slightly and asked:

"I know a little bit. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Cohen stared at Mavis's rosy lips and bewildered expression, took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Nothing. I hope I'll have the opportunity to appreciate Miss Mavis's flute playing in the future..."

……

After using the "Spark of Order" to revive three "Order City-States" and two "Order Floating Islands", Cohen named the largest Order City-State "Endless City".

It serves as the ruling core and power organ of the Endless Alliance.

It was completely different from the desolate, dilapidated and run-down scene of "Infinite Alliance" when Cohen left.

When Cohen stepped into the Endless City again, everything had changed completely.

Although there are still some ancient traces on the city streets, most of the infrastructure has been completed and various shops have opened.

Whether it is precious magical items, exquisite handicrafts, or exotic specialties from afar, there is a wide variety of them.

From time to time, caravans from other oases come in and out of the city.

People of different races from the five oases shuttle through the city, either busy trading or strolling leisurely, enjoying the prosperity of the city.

Bringing endless vitality to the Endless City.

Mavis has been busy in the "Potion City" and rarely comes to the "Endless Alliance", so he is very surprised by the development of the "Endless Alliance".

The two men walked in the "Endless City", and to their great surprise, Cohen would occasionally encounter pedestrians on the road who saluted him solemnly.

Cohen frowned slightly. He stopped a middle-aged man who saluted him upon seeing him and asked in a deep voice:
"Do you know me?"

After the middle-aged man was stopped by Cohen, his expression suddenly became a little nervous.

When he learned that Cohen had only asked this simple question, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied respectfully:

"My lord, although I don't know you, the statue in front of the Endless City Castle looks exactly like you in terms of attire, gestures, and demeanor.

Add to that the beautiful lady beside you, and you are definitely the master of the Endless Alliance."

Cohen was slightly surprised and asked:
"What castle? What statue?"

The middle-aged man replied in surprise:
"Sir, don't you know?
In the center of the Endless City stands a magnificent castle called the Consulate by several governors.

There is a statue of you in front of that castle.”

Cohen's face darkened. He could almost guess that the idea of building the statue must have come from Grace Tang, the eldest princess of the Eastern Territory Empire who was always eager to watch the fun.

After hearing this, Mavis, who was standing by, couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Cohen waved his hand, indicating that the middle-aged man could leave.

Then he followed the middle-aged man's instructions and found the magnificent castle and the statue that gave him stomachache.

The castle is like a towering beast squatting on the earth, demonstrating supreme power and majesty.

There is a dragon-shaped rune engraved on the front of the castle, which is somewhat similar to the dragon mark on Cohen's wrist if you look closely.

The most eye-catching thing is the statue standing in front of the castle.

Cohen had the urge to destroy it.

There were two Orc guards stationed outside the castle. These Orcs obviously knew Cohen. When they saw Cohen coming, they immediately saluted him politely.

Cohen was very satisfied with Arnold's ability to train these orcs so well.

He made a gesture to indicate that there was no need to inform and took Mavis into the magnificent castle.

The castle gate seemed to be made of a mixture of steel and tough unknown metal. Rows of copper nails as big as bowls were inlaid on the gate, shining with an ancient and mysterious metallic luster under the sunlight.

Cohen also felt a faint magical fluctuation from it, and was certain that the positions of these copper nails were not randomly inlaid.

It should be able to form a secret formation.

After walking through the gate, the view suddenly becomes wider, giving people a feeling of solemnity and majesty.

First, there is a main building that soars into the sky. The main body of the building is outlined with simple and bright lines. The facade is made of smooth marble. The main entrance is tall and wide, with glass curtain walls alternating with marble. The large glass is bright and transparent, reflecting the sky and the surrounding scenery.

The top of the building is square in shape, with exquisite metal decorations on the edges.

There were many staff members in formal attire coming and going.

There is an auxiliary building in the east, west and north directions of the main building, which echoes the main building.

The four buildings are surrounded by green belts, and there is an artificial lake to the west, from which Cohen also saw swans.

Although Cohen did not inform anyone, the noise of his coming in still alarmed many people.

Soon, a young staff member came up to Cohen quickly and said respectfully:
"Excuse me, is this the Captain and the intelligence officer?"

Cohen nodded slightly and asked:
"Where are the other officers?"

The staff quickly replied:

"The Political Officer and the Secretary are currently meeting in the conference room on the 18th floor of Building in the Administrative District.

The other officers are in the living quarters at the back."

Cohen then asked:

"Where is the living quarters?"

The staff pointed in the direction of the artificial lake and said:

"It's right there, but there's a concealment array set up by the diplomat, so we can't get in. Do you need me to inform the political officer or the secretary?"

Cohen shook his head and said:
"No, which unit are you from?

When did you come? "

The young staff member replied seriously:

"Your Excellency, I am an employee of the General Administration of External Security!
It’s been a month.”

Cohen glanced at Mavis, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: You don’t even know your subordinates?

Mephis raised her eyebrows slightly. As an intelligence officer of Infinity Blade, Cohen gave her the title of Director of the General Bureau of External Security.

However, she has been busy with the affairs of the "Potion City" these days and has not had time to interfere in the affairs of the Security Bureau.

Deputy Chief Ryder Gallo has been in charge.

I don't know if it's extenuating circumstances.

Cohen smiled and said to the staff:
"I didn't expect Reid to set up the Security Bureau so quickly. Not bad.

Ask him to bring me a recent work report. I want to see it."

The staff member quickly pulled out a thick stack of documents from his pocket and respectfully handed them to Cohen, saying:

"It's all here."

Cohen's face showed surprise and he asked:
"Did Ryder arrange this in advance?"

The staff member said seriously:
"Your Excellency, Director Ryder Gallo is not currently in the Endless City. He has gone to Night Moon Continent to contact some of his former subordinates."

Cohen's eyes immediately flashed with admiration, the kind of appreciation for a young man with great potential.

Since Reid wasn't at home, it all had to be the other person's idea.

Cohen nodded slightly and asked calmly:
"What's your name, and what's your position in the Security Bureau?"

The young staff member suppressed his excitement and replied in a deep voice:

"Reporting to the commander, I am Stuart Wood, the director of the General Office of External Security!"

Cohen said:

"I'll remember you. Okay, you can get busy now."

Stuart returned a standard military salute and quietly retreated.

Cohen and Mephis came to the front of the living area. Mephis looked at the shielding magic circle in front of him and asked curiously:
"The inheritance magic circle of the elves?
Even a Half-Step Legend like me can't figure it out, how are you going to get in?"

Cohen said nothing and took out the pair of exquisite earrings that Windsordler had given him.

After the earrings came out, a strange light shot out from them, and the void in front of them trembled violently. The space that had originally seemed calm and peaceful was like the surface of a lake where a huge rock was thrown, and layers of energy ripples visible to the naked eye appeared.

Soon, like a curtain being drawn back, brilliant light burst out, and an exquisite villa came into view.

Cohen and the other man walked in, and before they had time to appreciate the scenery of the villa, they saw Windsardler standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.

Cohen raised the earrings in his hand and said:

"Well, we have a good understanding, right?"

Windsardler showed a charming smile and said:

"Come in, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

When Cohen entered the villa, Nephthys was sitting on the sofa looking at documents and saw Cohen come in.

His face was filled with surprise and joy, and he said:

"Sir is finally back. I'll go inform Sister Asuna and Freya."

Cohen gave Nephthys a big hug, feeling the sorceress's soft and boneless waist. He couldn't help but recall the days when he and Isabella were making love, and his heart was burning with joy.

He took a deep breath, loosened his hand, ruffled Nephthys' hair, and said:

"No rush, I see they are in a meeting, let's wait until they are done.

Who made that statue at the door?"

Windsordler, who followed in, sneered and said:
"Apart from your financial sponsor, who else could it be?"

"Oh my, a hundred-year-old old lady calling someone auntie, isn't that embarrassing?"

Grace yawned and popped her beautiful face out from the bedroom on the second floor.

Looking at the dark purple lace suspender nightgown worn by Her Royal Highness the Princess, Cohen's desire, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, was aroused again.

Windsardler surprisingly did not refute, but just stared at Cohen calmly.

Cohen rubbed his forehead and said:

"Your Highness, the Elf Race is different from us humans. According to our human age, Miss Windsardler is only eighteen years old."

Windsardler was obviously very satisfied with Cohen's answer, and his eyes flickered to Grace, who looked indignant.

There is no need to say more about the victory or defeat!

Cohen forced himself to look away from the faint ravines on Grace's chest and said:
"Your Highness, please pack up and come down. I have something to say!"
