Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 183 For the Queen Sister!

Mammon fell into deep thought, his trading instincts coming to the fore.

The phosphorescent light in his pupils trembled violently, showing that his inner emotions were fluctuating greatly.

The meaning of Cohn's mouth shape is too important to him.

It was important enough for him to put aside his grudge with Cohen and make peace.

Of course, the premise is that Cohen doesn't fool him again.

This is what Mammon is most worried about, after all, Cohen has a criminal record.

Mammon's voice was no longer filled with anger. He quickly adjusted his mood and asked casually:
"What is the Zhuomu Continent? I've never heard of it."

Cohen's face showed the expression of a fish taking the bait. He was not at all flustered by Mammon's temptation and said calmly:

"An old continent abandoned in ancient times was later swept into the void by the vortex of time and space.

Legend has it that there are sacred treasures left behind by the six dark gods. Why, Boss Mammon, aren't you interested?"

Hearing Cohen's words, Mammon's breathing suddenly became rapid. This kid really knew!

But how did he know that I was also looking for traces of the continent of Zhom?

Well, he is the "Son of Prophecy", Mammon felt a pang of pain when he thought of this, because his dragon egg was stolen in this way.

However, the ability of the other party's "Son of Prophecy" is too abnormal. The prophecy against a legendary level is not subject to any restrictions or backlash. It's too scary.

After completing this order, I must stay away from him.

Cohen waited confidently for Mammon to take the bait.

In his previous life, the owner of Pawnshop No. 8, Mammon, the lord of the third layer of hell, has been secretly searching for the true location of the Zhoam continent.

Unlike the other lords of hell in the hell plane who are indifferent and hostile to the human continent.

The reason why Mammon is keen on interacting with the powerful and senior people in the human continent is not only to satisfy his own greed for wealth and treasures, but most importantly to find clues about the continent of Zom.

The continent of Droum was originally a part of the old continent of mankind. It was the place where evil gods and divine evils were exiled during the Age of Gods.

The rulers above are the six dark gods, namely:

The Devourer, who wields the power of elements and the savagery of beasts.

The Guardian who collects souls and sins.

The Fury that governs passion and revenge, anger and despair.

The spokesperson of betrayal and terror [Mockery].

The Lord of Forbidden Knowledge and Ambition [Shadow].

A combination of fraud and innovation [Traveler].

Later, the demonic tide spread, and the exiled gods on the continent of Zom took the opportunity to start a rebellion.

In order to prevent the gods on the Zhoam continent from attacking the Demon Tide continent, the gods used their supreme divine power to cut the entire Zhoam continent in half and exiled it into the endless void.

However, many clues handed down from ancient times all prove that the continent of Zomu was not destroyed in the dangerous time and space storm of the endless void. Instead, the complete godhead and divinity of the six dark gods are still left on it!
In the previous life game, Mammon found the time and space mark leading to the continent of Zhuomu in the treasure house of a prince of a kingdom.

Finally, he successfully arrived at this old continent, and by sheer luck, he obtained the divinity and godhood of the [Guardian] that best suited the devil.

Before the gods descended upon the Demonic Continent, he ignited the divine fire and became the first Lord of Hell to become a god in the entire Hell plane.

The word Cohen just mouthed to Mammonbi was the continent of Zom.

After hearing Cohen speak so casually about the ancient secrets of the Zhoam continent, Mammon became more certain that the other party knew some clues.

Almost in an instant, Mammon put aside the grudge between them, and his expression returned to the shrewdness and composure he had when he was the owner of Pawn Shop No. 8. He asked:
“I am indeed interested in the divine treasures. I think there is no one in this world who is not interested in the things left behind by the gods.

Tell me, what clues do you have?"

Cohen chuckled and said:

"He has mastered a lot. For example... The Guardian left behind at least five points of Sinful Divinity in his divine treasure!"

Although Mammon tried his best to suppress his inner excitement, the muscles twitching at the corners of his mouth still revealed his inner emotions.

Five points of divinity, exactly the same information he had learned in recent years!
It seems that the Guardian has truly fallen, otherwise there wouldn't be so much divinity left behind.

Mammon looked at Cohen and asked:

“Where’s the Godhead?

Is his divinity still there?

Has he already fallen?"

Cohen coughed lightly and said:

"Boss Mammon, isn't it time for you to show your sincerity?"

Mammon smiled awkwardly and said:

"I don't care about Viscount Vaughan anymore. I can return everything he sold me before.

I can also provide you with a few 'Black Tomb' strongholds.

Oh yes, to tell you the truth, our Black Tomb Northwest Continent branch has already begun reconstruction.

The preparatory specialist was previously a 'salesman' from the Northwest Continent.

If you're interested, I can help you fish him out. He's not even at the Legendary level, so if you catch him, it will definitely be a great achievement in front of your Queen Effiin."

Cohen's heart was full of sarcasm. This Mammon was truly worthy of being called a devil from hell. He was so shameless.

He would sell things without any regard for his colleagues or subordinates.

But none of what he said appealed to Cohen at all.

He no longer cared about Viscount Vaughan and his wealth. These things had already belonged to Cohen.

Mammon couldn't interfere at all.

As for the magic crystals and rare minerals that Vaughn had traded with Mammon before, these things are precious, but no matter how precious they are, they cannot compare to the clues of the gods.

Not to mention helping to capture the "salesman". The "salesman" was very well-behaved in Cohen's arms and there was no need to capture him at all.

Therefore, although Mammon seems to have put forward many conditions, in fact they are worthless and are fooling Cohen like a child.

After Mammon finished speaking, he looked at Cohen expectantly.

Cohen smiled slightly, said nothing, raised his arm, and smashed the crystal ball with a snap.

On the other side of the crystal ball, Mammon watched Cohen raise his arm, and then the scene in front of him went black, and he suddenly became furious.

He knew that the other party looked down on the conditions he proposed and deliberately cut off contact, feeling angry and anxious.

He kept cursing, saying, "This little bastard is too cunning. Can't we just talk it out nicely?"

It's not like we can't discuss it. We are just young and too impulsive.

Mammon shook his head and complained while contacting the "salesman".

After Viscount Vaughan was captured, he completely lost his informants in Florence and could only rely on the reconstruction commissioner of the Northwest Branch.

Mammon's tone was quite gentle, and there was no sign that he was planning to sell Rosalina to Cohen as a bargaining chip.

Meilansha read the content sent by Mammon and replied:
"You want me to find a way to contact the 'Lord of Shadows' and express your goodwill to him?"

Mammon answered firmly:

"Yes, if you can get in touch with him, please tell him that everything can be discussed and we are all friends.

If you're willing to help me, Salesman, I can help you with some work at headquarters to get more budget for the reconstruction of your Northwest branch."

Rosalina was very surprised. It was rare to see Mammon bleeding on his own initiative.

Also, aren’t you two enemies? When did you become so close?
Mammon, the third councilor, holds an extraordinary position in the "Black Tomb". Even several "tomb owners" rely heavily on him.

It is unbelievable that he could make such a humble request.

Rosalina agreed on the surface and decided to find time to ask Cohen what kind of mental control he had put on Mammon and why he suddenly became so easy to talk to.

……

A vigorous liquidation campaign against the Collins family was carried out in all aspects and at multiple levels, from the central government to the regions, from the government to the military.

All the past misdeeds of the Collins family were dug up one by one.

Her Majesty the Queen shot the head of the Collins family, a hereditary viscount, dead in court, leaving everyone with an unforgettable impression.

Many ministers and officials in the court who had their own little thoughts and were flirting with other countries or organizations also gave up the idea.

No matter what the future holds, at least Her Majesty the Queen is really capable of killing people now!

After hearing the news back to the Southern Territory, the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory was stunned for a long while.

At the same time, this organization called the Military Control Commission began to rapidly expand into a powerful force that could not be ignored in the court of Aifei.

The first move was against a hereditary viscount family, and no one dared to underestimate the existence of the Military Control Commission anymore.

The black uniform, the flying eagle badge, and the red ID card have become symbols that make people shudder in Florence.

The members of the Military Control Commission were also said to be more and more mysterious, especially the assistant director named Nephthys, code-named "Madam".

Every time she walked into Her Majesty the Queen's office with documents, a senior official would be dismissed within an hour.

Therefore, Nephthys has already had a terrifying nickname in the Florentine officialdom - "Lady Disaster"!
But among the citizens of Florence, Nephthys' nickname has become "Lady Justice".

Because the citizens were surprised to find that there were suddenly fewer officials who were arrogant, corrupt, and abused their power for personal gain.

The efficiency of government agencies has also been greatly improved.

Even now, you can no longer see urban management personnel arbitrarily issuing fines or expelling vendors on the streets.

Those grassroots officials who usually acted arrogantly also became much more friendly and sincere in their attitude towards the masses.

Cohen listened to Nephthys's complaints and said with a smile:

"It seems that our Miss Nephthys is very prestigious among the people!"

Nephthys curled her lips and said:
"Oh, Deep Sea left a code message. He has something to report to you. He's already at the safe house. You should go over there."

Cohen's eyes moved slightly. Could something have happened to the Gore and DuPont families?
For Herman's safety, Cohen never contacted him proactively, gave him the highest authority, and everything was based on his own decision.

Now that he is risking his life to contact me, there must be something important.

Cohen didn't hesitate much and quickly went to the safe house to meet Hermann.

When Herman saw Cohen, he didn't say much nonsense and said directly:
“I just received news that the Central Empire has sent people over.

This is the man named Samuel Jones that Your Majesty mentioned earlier. He is disguised as a jeweler from the Central Empire. At ten o'clock this evening, he will disembark from Emerald Harbor on a secret cruise ship.

He was received personally by the patriarch of the DuPont family, Jinwoning DuPont.

The specific mission is unclear.”

Cohen was shocked. It finally came.

This Samuel Jones is the confidant of Heisenberg, the chief minister of the Senate of the Central Empire. Since he came in person, he must have a very important mission.

It is very likely that it is a plan for unrest in Florence in the near future.

Must get the details of this plan!
This is not a difficult task for Cohen, who possesses the "Shadow Plane".

But after this, should we let Samuel go back?

This person is Heisenberg's close confidant. He must know why Heisenberg is deliberately targeting Adair.

If we can capture him, it will definitely be very helpful for us to grasp Heisenberg's movements and make corresponding countermeasures.

Samuel left the heavily guarded Central Empire and came to Cohen's territory on his own initiative. This opportunity was very rare.

Cohen's pupils narrowed slightly, and he made up his mind that for the sake of his sister, the queen, he must capture this man at all costs!

He must resolutely eliminate any force that covets the Queen's sister, even if they are gods!

Cohen's eyes showed a pensive look. The DuPont family and the Collins family are very different.

The former has a history of hundreds of years in Effiin. Most importantly, according to the last hypnosis of Bocuse DuPont, the heir of the DuPont family, it was learned that the patriarch of the DuPont family, Jinwoning DuPont, has quietly advanced to the legendary level.

This also means that the DuPont family must have a sub-dimension in their hands that can conceal the legendary breakthrough vision.

Therefore, if Florence wants to secretly capture the DuPont family, which has legendary extraordinary people and a sub-dimension, it is not enough to rely on its current strength.

Once pushed to the limit, Jin Wo Ning will unfold his legendary domain and everything will be exposed.

Cohen is not yet fully ready for war.

The Star Guardian Armor entrusted to the "Forge Tribe" forging has not yet been fully equipped to the army, and his current strength is not enough to deal with this complex situation.

He had to wait for a while until his 20,000 "elite" troops were formed.

There is no room for major unrest in Florence right now.

You cannot kidnap anyone from the DuPont family, nor can you attack the DuPont family.

Cohen soon came up with an idea; he had to seek help from an ally.

Her Majesty the Empress of the Central Empire!
The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Although Heisenberg has not yet revealed his ambition to usurp the throne, with the Empress's skills, she must have noticed it to some extent.

As long as we can contact Her Majesty the Empress and use our identity as a prophet to add some exaggeration, there is a high probability that we can convince her.

As for how to contact her, it seems I have to go back to the "Lost Land" and ask Miss Elf for help.

After all, this person is the Empress's best friend. With her on your behalf, your chances of success in persuading the other party will be higher.

Thinking of this, Cohen no longer hesitated. After asking about the specific time and place of Samuel's arrival at the port, he let Hermann go back first.

……

Late at night, Emerald Harbor was like a sleeping giant beast, so quiet that only the sound of waves crashing on the shore could be heard.

In the darkness, the light of the magic lamp is like a beating heart, illuminating a small world.

Two nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes stood solemnly on the shore, gazing into the distance, obviously waiting for something.

One of the older ones is the current patriarch of the DuPont family, Kim Worning DuPont.

The other was his younger brother, Theodore du Pont.

The fact that the two most powerful people in the DuPont family were waiting for a guest on the shore late at night was enough to prove the guest's noble status.

Behind the two men was a neat row of subordinates, each of them standing tall and holding weapons, their armor glowing coldly under the light, like silent statues, exuding a majestic aura.

The sea breeze whistled past, carrying the salty and humid scent of the sea.

A vague black shadow appeared on the sea surface in the distance. As the shadow approached, a huge cruise ship gradually became clear.

Jin Wo Ning straightened up slightly and watched the boat slowly approach the shore.

The pedals were lowered, and a handsome young nobleman slowly stepped onto the land.

Samuel Jones, Secretary General of the Legal Committee of the Central Imperial House of Lords and Heisenberg's chief trusted aide.

Samuel was dressed elegantly and modestly, with an approachable smile on his face, without any condescending attitude.

There is no sign that he is a senior official from the core power agency of the Central Empire.

His handsome appearance and calm attitude immediately brought everyone closer.

When Samuel saw Jin Wenning, the patriarch of the DuPont family, appear at the port, he quickened his pace and said with a sincere and apologetic smile:
"I'm really terrified that Chief Dupont has to come out in person to greet me.

The chief has repeatedly told me to send his regards to you after I meet the clan leader.

Samuel's modest and cautious attitude immediately won Jinwoning's favor.

Jin Wo Ning also smiled and replied:
"Mr. Samuel is a distinguished guest from the Central Empire, and it is my duty to greet him.

To be honest, it was my fault. The last few times he came, I was busy with work and was not in the country, so I was unable to meet Mr. Samuel in person.

This time, I will come to greet you in person no matter what."

Samuel laughed and said:

"Okay, okay, if you continue talking about this, we'll become strangers."

The two chatted with each other, while Theodore stood aside and observed the movements around him.

Soon, Hermann walked quickly to Theodore and whispered:
"Sir, the Military Control Commission patrol will arrive in ten minutes. We must leave as soon as possible."

Theodore was startled and asked:

"How come it's so fast?"

Hermann replied in a low voice:
"Recently, the Military Control Commission has increased its inspections of people entering Florence. All ports and stations have set up 24-hour patrols."

Theodore frowned slightly and nodded.
"I know, you go down first."

Theodore quickly came to Jinwoning and whispered:
"The Military Control Commission is almost here, let's go."

After hearing this, Jin Wo Ning's expression changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it and turned to Samuel and said:

“I have prepared a grand dinner for you at my mansion.

Please, Mr. Samuel!"

Samuel was puzzled by the DuPont family's behavior.

Why are you so sneaky when picking someone up, as if you are worried about something?

This was not the case the previous times he came. His identity could withstand any verification.

But he didn't say anything, because he knew that the other party would give him an explanation sooner or later.

As expected, after the two of them boarded a luxurious carriage, Jin Wo Ning took the initiative to speak:
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Samuel. The situation in the capital has been a bit tense recently, and I really had no choice but to do this."

Samuel said he understood, then asked:

"Just now I heard Theodore mention something about the Military Control Commission. Is that the newly established intelligence department of Effiin that you reported on a while ago?"

Jin Wo Ning nodded solemnly and said:

"Yes, that's them."

A hint of doubt arose in Samuel's heart.

Why would a newly established intelligence department make Viscount Dupont so nervous?
Do you think a few ordinary members of the Military Control Commission dare to come and inspect the Viscount's motorcade?

He also read the report that the DuPont family had previously submitted to Chief Heisenberg.

He knew a little about the Military Intelligence Bureau. It was just an intelligence agency with a lot of power.

Although the people who endorse this organization are powerful, so what?

Whether a department can truly establish its own authority depends not only on the people who support it, but more importantly on the ability of the department itself.

Political affairs have never been able to stand firm just by having someone to back you up or support you.

If one wants to establish his own authority in an extremely complex political situation, relying solely on two words from the Queen and the Prime Minister will not be enough.

Samuel didn't think that a newly established intelligence agency could achieve any results.

Even though he has the support of the Queen and the Prime Minister, the two of them cannot cover everything in Effiin.

Taking a step back, wasn't the Military Control Commission established only a few days ago?

How could a hereditary viscount be so fearful?
Jinwoning knew what Samuel was thinking.

Given his status and position, he naturally looked down upon the intelligence agencies of such a small country.

But Jin Wo Ning was at the scene and witnessed the Queen's ruthless methods with his own eyes, and he still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now.

Although he did not collude with the "Black Tomb" that Her Majesty the Queen hated so much.

But what they are doing now is planning the entire Corleone royal family together with the Central Empire.

Once this matter is exposed, their fate will be even worse than that of the Collins family.

Jinwoning sighed and told Samuel what had happened recently in the Aifeiyin court.

Samuel has been on his way to Florence these days, so he has not received the latest intelligence.

When he heard from Jinwoning what Queen Effiin had done, he was also stunned.

This woman is so crazy that she dared to execute a country's hereditary viscount in public in front of so many ministers and officials.

Simply appalling.

He asked in astonishment:

"Is there no one to persuade you?
Where is your Senate?
Besides, she is only the queen after all, how could she dare to act like this?"

Jin Wo Ning described the scene to him in detail. When he heard that Her Majesty the Queen could suppress the entire audience alone, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

She is so strong, worthy of being the woman that Her Majesty the Empress has remembered for so many years.

After a long silence, Samuel finally uttered:
"In some ways, your Queen is truly a love-brained person!"
