Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 224 Cohen’s Harem—The Continent’s Most Beautiful Women?

Velikis frowned and asked:
"You're not lying to me on purpose, are you? I've never heard of such a restriction!"

Cohen replied:

“I have no need to deceive Your Majesty.

When you are really ready to start building the kingdom of God with divinity in the future, you will naturally know whether what I said is true or false.

Or if Your Majesty has a trustworthy 'false god' friend, you can ask him."

Virekis's brows showed intense thought. After a long silence, she spoke slowly:
"Yes, but I have one condition."

Cohen suppressed his inner excitement and asked:

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Velikis stared into Cohen's eyes and spoke clearly:
"Sever all ties with Windsardler, and I will grant you one hundred divinity points!"

Cohen was stunned for a moment. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Virigis would propose such a condition.

He didn't hesitate and refused directly:

"Impossible! Unless Windsor breaks off relations with me, she is destined to be my woman!"

Velikis's gaze remained fixed on Cohen's face. Seeing his unwavering expression, she felt a slight sense of relief, but her face remained stern.
"She's just a woman, but I'm giving her a hundred points of divinity!
What's more, you already have so many beautiful women, it won't matter if one less!
If you don’t agree, the deal is off.”

Cohen's attitude remains very firm:

"Emotional issues cannot be used as bargaining chips in any negotiations. This is my bottom line.

If this is what Your Majesty means, then unfortunately, our negotiations have failed."

The expression on Cohen's face did not seem fake at all. Although Virikis's face remained cold, she had already felt a little more admiration for Cohen in her heart.

A man who can stick to his original intention under the temptation of one hundred points of divinity, although he is fickle, is still trustworthy.

Velikis was silent for a long time, then sighed softly:

“For the sake of Windsordale, I will forgive your crime of trespassing into my bedroom.

When you can borrow the Holy Grail of the Church of Light, we can talk about a hundred things about divinity."

Is this a promise?
Although Cohen didn't understand what Velikis's purpose was, since she agreed, he didn't worry about it anymore.

With one hundred points of divinity, the foundation for him and his sister the Queen to become gods in the future has been laid!

If you are lucky, you might be able to get an ancient strong man as a support.

After all, looking at Viregis's appearance, although she has lived for quite a long time, she is still very easy to fool. She handed over a hundred points of divinity so easily, so it should be no problem to trick her into fighting in the future.

Cohen suppressed his thoughts and said hesitantly:

"It's not that I don't trust Her Majesty's credibility, it's just that this matter is of great importance, you see..."

Virikis's eyes turned cold:
"Are you questioning my credibility?"

Cohen thought, it seemed like you killed the last human who trusted you, and took away their divinity as well.

Velikis paused for a moment before adding:
"You are different from that Son of God. Besides, I only agreed to negotiate, but I didn't promise him anything."

Cohen's expression remained calm as he stared at Virekis motionlessly, his attitude very clear.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Velikis snorted coldly:
"Okay, you tell me what to do!"

Cohen showed hesitation. This woman's strength was too terrifying. Most soul contracts had no absolute binding force on her. So he could only use the more risky method.

Cohen stared into Velikis's beautiful eyes and whispered:

"I hope Your Majesty can sign a life-and-death pact with me!"

Velikis stood up suddenly, her eyes flashing coldly as she said angrily:
"wishful thinking!"

Cohen remained calm and said:
"Your Majesty, we have already reached an agreement on one hundred points of divine power. Let's not quarrel over such a small matter."

Velikis' chest heaved with rage as she angrily said:

“A little thing?
You let an elf close to godhood sign a life-and-death pact with a lowly fifth-rank human. How dare you think of that! "

Cohen remained calm, his voice steady and steady:
"Your Majesty, I won't always be at the fifth level. I'm not bragging, you should have investigated my deeds.

To be fair, apart from my queen, is there any other human being on this continent with better talents than me?

I'm only at level five right now, but I won't stay there forever. You're not losing out at all by signing a life-and-death pact with a human with the potential to become a god!"

When it comes to talent and potential, humans have the highest talent. Even among the gods, human gods firmly occupy a dominant position.

Without waiting for Velikis to reply, Cohen continued:
"Perhaps Her Majesty has already sensed that in the near future, the entire world, including the kingdom of the gods, will usher in an unprecedented upheaval.

In that turmoil, even gods were at risk of falling.

Does Her Majesty feel that she does not need a powerful human as an ally?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Virikis's beautiful eyes, and she asked in a deep voice:

"You also know that there will be turmoil in the future... Yes, you have summoned gods before, and your queen has such a deep connection with the Ice God. It's not surprising that you know this..."

Virigis fell into deep thought. Cohen's words made some sense. Although she had no good feelings towards this dog man who dared to offend her, to be fair, this young king did have the talent and capital to be proud of.

Although the idea of becoming a god in the future is too vague, it is foreseeable that Eifin will become a powerful human empire under his leadership.

If we can establish a good alliance with the leader of such a force, it will indeed be of great help to future changes.

Her failure in ancient times was due to the fact that she made too many enemies and had no reliable allies. Even for the future development of the elves, establishing a stable and reliable alliance relationship would be beneficial.

The most important thing is that the other party has a queen who is deeply involved with the ice element and the ice and snow goddess Daphne Frost. If she can gain the friendship of the ice god through Cohen, it will indeed be a good choice for Virikis, who has already offended the god of darkness.

However, Her Majesty the Queen always felt a little embarrassed to let a powerful ancient being sign a life-and-death contract with a human king who was not even a fraction of her age.

What's more, this kind of contract of life and death originated from the ancient elves, and generally only exists between elven couples.

Queen Verikis's face showed hesitation and hesitation.

Seeing that Velikis's attitude had softened somewhat, Cohen continued:

“Your Majesty, I promise you that this contract can be terminated immediately once our transaction is completed.

In addition, my Aifeiyin can conclude a treaty of friendship, alliance and mutual assistance with the Winged Elves. I believe that with the strength that our Aifeiyin has shown now, we are qualified to do so! "

Velikis finally sighed deeply and said quietly:

“This king never thought that he would actually sign such a contract with an ant-like human.

Five years. I will only give you five years. Within five years, you must borrow the semi-artifacts of the Church of Light, and your cultivation must reach the legendary level that you said can perform the purification ritual.

Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything!"

Cohen frowned slightly and asked:
"It's not necessary for me to perform the purification ritual.

Yadel can do it. I can teach her the method of this ritual. She is already at the Legendary level, so wouldn't it be faster this way?"

Verexis replied with a resolute attitude:
"I don't trust her. Besides, you are not allowed to tell her about what happened between us!"

Seeing Virekis's attitude, Cohen didn't want to insist any longer. He thought five years would be enough. According to his own training speed, it shouldn't be a problem for him to reach the legendary level within five years.

Anyway, the Queen won't be using her divinity in the short term, so let's just leave it at that for now. He was afraid that if he continued, Her Majesty the Queen would get angry.

After Cohen finished his consideration, he slowly extended his hand:

"Then it's settled. Happy cooperation, Your Majesty!"

Velikis reluctantly extended her delicate, white hand, as delicate as porcelain, and said coldly:

"You'd better be careful and don't get yourself killed. I don't want to die with you!"

After the agreement was reached, they began to form a pact of life and death.

The so-called contract of life and death is easy to understand. It means exactly what it says. Under this contract, the lives of both parties are closely connected and they share life energy or vitality.

When one party is hurt, the other party will also be affected.

Cohen can even draw huge amounts of life energy from Viregis when he is seriously injured.

However, Cohen also has to worry about the consequences of Vilegis being tracked down by the God of Darkness.

Now the God of Darkness is like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

The two stood facing each other. Vilegis stretched out her hand first, and her slender fingers lightly tapped the air to draw golden streaks of light. This was the authentic spell from the ancient elves.

Velikis opened her red lips, chanted a mysterious spell, and then raised her palm towards Cohen.

Cohen also stretched out his hand without hesitation. Their palms faced each other, and their bodies trembled at the same time. A powerful magical power surged into their palms.

Immediately afterwards, two streams of blood oozed out from the palms of their hands, turned into red light, and merged into each other's bodies.

The ancient oath rang in Cohen's ears——

I will merge my life with yours, and from now on we will live and die together until the end of time!

In an instant, light shot straight into the sky, and Cohen felt another distinct mark deep in his soul.

Why say it again?

Because Grace Tang, the eldest princess of the Eastern Territory Empire, had once formed a Hell Blood Pact with Cohen, which was similar to the elves' life and death contract.

After the contract was signed, the atmosphere between the two people was obviously much more relaxed.

At this time, Cohen asked:
"By the way, Your Majesty, I have three small things I would like your help with."

Verekis glared at Cohen and said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier or later, but chose to wait until after the contract was signed? You are such a cunning and treacherous human being!
Tell me, what are you planning now? "

Having his secret thoughts revealed, Cohen was not embarrassed at all and said bluntly:
"The first is Her Majesty the Queen's inheritance... Since Her Majesty has already found a solution to her injuries, I can handle the inheritance remaining in the palace."

Verekis stared into Cohen's eyes and asked:

"Are you going to give it to that winged elf outside?"

Cohen nodded and said:
"My main purpose in accompanying Windsor this time is to inherit Her Majesty the Queen.

Anyway, Windsor is your student, so it shouldn't be a big problem for him to inherit your legacy."

When she heard what Cohen mentioned, Virigis's expression became better. She waved slightly towards the bedroom, and an ancient crystal box floated towards the two of them.

Vilegis stared at the box for a moment, stretched out her slender fingers, and tapped the top of the box a few times. With a flicker of light, three prismatic crystals emitting a moving halo appeared in the box.

The crystal appears transparent, with mysterious and complex light patterns inside.

Cohen's eyes moved slightly, knowing that this was the memory crystal unique to the ancient elves and used for inheritance.

Elves can inject their memories, knowledge and experience into crystals through special magic rituals. When inheritors touch the crystals, these memories, knowledge and precious experience will flow into their minds like water, allowing them to feel the wisdom of their ancestors more intuitively.

Velikis stared at the memory crystal with a look of emotion on her face:
"This is the inheritance of my cultivation insights from when I was at the Legendary, Saint, and Demigod levels. Please have her comprehend it carefully and don't bring disgrace upon my reputation."

Cohen took the box as if it were a treasure and thanked him solemnly.

After securing the greatest achievement of this trip for Windsordale, Cohen then talked about the second thing:
"Your Majesty, a second favor... Um, Windsor and I would like to conclude our marriage contract under the witness of Her Majesty the Queen... I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to oblige me?"

Velikis raised her eyebrows slightly, a smile on her face:
"Let's discuss this matter after you and Windsardler return to the elves. Without her parents' consent, I cannot bear witness to it."

A trace of regret appeared on Cohen's face. It seemed that he had to pass the test of Windsor's parents.

Velikis suddenly spoke again:
"Oh, right, you just reminded me. Remember, don't tell anyone about my visit today, including Windsardelle. Don't let her know I've been here, let alone my true identity."

Cohen nodded in agreement, and then said the third thing:

"One last thing. The ancient elves have a secret technique that can accurately locate souls. Your Majesty, do you know this?"

Velikis' eyes flickered as she asked:
"Are you going to help that Saint Garcia find his wife?"

Cohen laughed and said:

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty. This is indeed the main purpose of my visit to the Sleeping Cave this time."

Vilegis raised her hand slightly, and a crystal ball emitting a faint blue halo slowly emerged. There seemed to be stars twinkling inside, mysterious and unpredictable.

Then he chanted a spell, and the color in the crystal ball became more intense. He threw it to Cohen with his bare hands:

"Let Garcia study it himself. Tell him that this secret technique can't be used too many times, otherwise the soul will easily get lost."

Cohen immediately expressed his gratitude. Although Queen Virikis had a bad temper, she was still very trustworthy.

After everything was over, seeing that Cohen was still looking tentatively towards her bedroom, Virigis could no longer bear it, so she stretched out her slender feet and kicked Cohen out.

……

Cohen felt dizzy and when he regained his balance, he found himself next to Windsardler.

The elf lady was sitting on the lawn at this moment, leaning against a huge green rock, sleeping soundly.

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to pinch Windsardelle's little face. Windsardelle woke up slowly and saw Cohen. A moment of confusion appeared on her face, and then she woke up and cried out:
"Oh, why did I fall asleep?"

Cohen stroked Windsardler's hair and said:

"Maybe I was too tired from the previous level-up."

Windsordale shook his head and muttered:

"Strange, I seemed to have had a dream just now. I dreamed of Her Majesty the Queen teaching me magic when I was a child."

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:

"Speaking of Her Majesty, I have good news for you.

Look what this is!"

Cohen took out the crystal box that Velikis had given him.

Windsordle was surprised and delighted when he saw the three prismatic crystals in the box:
"Memory Crystal!
Is this... is this the legacy of Her Majesty the First Queen?"

Cohen nodded and said:
"It should be her cultivation insights at the Legendary, Saint, and Demigod levels."

Windsardler hugged Cohen and kissed him. After calming down, he asked again:

"Did you encounter any danger after you went in? Is there anything else in there?"

Cohen briefly spoke, then changed the subject without leaving a trace:

"Our trip to the Sleeping Cave is now complete. What are your plans next?
Do you want to return to the Central Empire?
What did Her Majesty the Empress say?"

Windsardler was of course reluctant to leave Cohen. After a brief moment of contemplation, he said:

"There's no rush for Senis. She's fine over there anyway. I have my father... We Winged Elves still have many people in the Central Empire. We don't need one more person like me."

Windsardler's answer hit Cohen's heart. He grabbed Windsardler's hand, kissed it, and said:

"My dear Windsor, I need your help here.

I plan to set up an institution in Aifeiyin to specialize in the study of the Arcane Empire and the culture of the ancient elves. The research results we brought back from the Sleeping Cave this time also need someone to be responsible for converting them into tangible economic and military benefits.

I hope you can be the head of this organization, only then will I feel at ease."

The "elemental core power furnace", "long-distance teleportation array" obtained this time in the Sleeping Cave, as well as the lost ancient elven music that enhances the morale and willpower of the army, magic forging, battle pet training, magic alchemy and other precious cultural heritages all need to be handled by dedicated personnel and specialized institutions.

Windsardler couldn't stand Cohen's fiery gaze, so he turned his head away and whispered:
"Okay, I promise you."

Cohen expressed his gratitude directly through actions.

After a series of blushing and heart-pounding movements, Windsardler covered her skirt in time and said angrily:

"what are you doing."

Cohen stood up awkwardly and said:
"Sorry, sorry, I was just excited at the moment."

Windsordale rolled her eyes at Cohen, retracted her delicate white feet, and said unhappily:

"Give me the high heels and don't put anything weird in them."

After the two of them finished their work, they returned along the same route and left the sleeping cave.

After Cohen and the other man left, the space around them surged like ripples. Vilegis spat lightly at the place where the two men were tumbling, and disappeared into the sleeping cave again.

……

After leaving the Starfall Valley, Cohen specially found a low-key restaurant to treat the elf lady's stomach.

After Windsardler had eaten heartily, he asked:

"Should we go to Silverfrost Principality or Holy Oak Principality first?"

Cohen replied without much thought:

"Let's go to Silver Frost first. The political forces within Silver Frost Principality are more complicated, making it easier for us to fish in troubled waters.

Besides, the Holy Oak Duchy itself is also linked to the Silver Frost. As long as the Silver Frost Duchy is taken down, the Holy Oak will not be a problem."

Windsordler nodded and asked:

"Shall we go now?"

Cohen shook his head and replied:

"No rush, wait for someone first."

Not long after, a middle-aged man who deliberately concealed his appearance knocked on the door of their box.

Cohen said to Windsordler:
“Let me introduce Baron Julian Singh, a business tycoon and asset magnate in the restaurant and hotel industry of the Kingdom of Ceylon.

The restaurant we are dining in now is owned by Baron Singh.”

Julian Singh was the undercover agent developed by the "Phantom Corpse" who was contacted by Cohen and Mephis when they went to the Kingdom of Ceylon and used the fake "Star Guardian Armor" drawings to trick the third prince Saxon into giving him the national sword.

Cohen had signed a new contract with Julian as the Lord of Shadow, agreeing to serve him for ten years.

When Julian stepped into the box, he had a very complicated mood.

When he learned from the Kingdom of Ceylon that the "Lord of Shadows" he served was actually King Effiin, the shock and confusion in his heart were beyond words.

Immediately afterwards, the news and information sent back from Effiin made Julian's mood feel like a roller coaster.

The elite [Oath of Ceylon] led by the third prince Saxon himself was completely wiped out!
The joint attack of the Central Empire and the Eastern Territory Empire was crushed by King Effiin alone!
The Saint of the Black Tomb fell in Florence!
Twenty thousand elite troops, a legion of orcs, and divine and demonic equipment.

And the youngest legendary queen on the continent!

In the end, all these emotions turned into excitement that was hard to suppress!
Following such a powerful lord, the resources and support he can obtain are much stronger than those of the "Phantom Corpse" in the Black Tomb!
At this moment, he only hated himself for having only signed a ten-year contract.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Aifein is already eager to settle accounts with the Kingdom of Ceylon. When that time really comes, as a subordinate developed personally by King Aifein, his status will naturally be self-evident.

He was also a little worried, fearing that King Effiin would look down on him.

Therefore, after receiving Cohen's summons, he even used precious magic flying props and rushed day and night from Quesarion, the capital of the Kingdom of Ceylon, all the way to the territory of Duke Gavin.

Julian entered the box with mixed feelings. When he saw that King Effiin had been replaced by a woman whose appearance and temperament were no less than Mephis', he couldn't help but secretly criticize her in his heart.

It seems that the rumor is true. The harem of this young King Effiin can almost be said to be among the most beautiful in the continent!
