Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 275: Conversation between Emperor Monroe and Isabella
(Thanks to the book friend "Marry a Name Sun" for the five consecutive rewards, thank you boss!)
"Five?"

Several people fell silent.

Five legendary figures are more than enough to wipe out some small principalities.

Commander Norn pursed his lips tightly. His many years of military experience told him that this group of pirates should not be underestimated. They must be wiped out with absolute crushing strength before they grow stronger.

Duke Gavin coughed lightly to ease the atmosphere:
"Aren't they still attacking the Weeping Trench? Didn't the Commander just say that the Weeping Trench's defenses are extremely strong? If they return empty-handed, will the Mermaids and Sharkmen continue to help the Crimson Reavers?"

Everyone nodded frequently upon hearing this.

Commander Norn's expression froze, and before he could say anything, the expressions of several people suddenly changed, and they looked towards the northwest sea area.

Soon, an old man suddenly appeared in the court.

Upon seeing the visitor, Prime Minister Yode and others bowed in greeting, and even King Gaius showed respect.

The old man made the atmosphere in the hall solemn as soon as he opened his mouth:

"Your Majesty, there is a legendary meteorite in the northwest sea area!"

Soon, Commander Norn also delivered intelligence from the front line.

A legendary weeping banshee has fallen!
King Gaius looked at Norn and said in a deep voice:

"Isn't it said that the Weeping Trench's defenses are extremely strong? How come it's only been a short while and a Banshee has already fallen?"

Norn said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, under normal circumstances, if the three banshees felt they were outmatched, they would definitely retreat to the Weeping Trench for defense. Since they chose to fight to the death, it can only mean that the mermaids have destroyed the Weeping Trench's defense system.

The Mermaids and the Weeping Banshees have been mortal enemies since ancient times, and they know each other very well..."

King Gaius waved his hand and said:
"It's useless to say this now. I agree with your previous opinion. We must take more care of this pirate group.

You go and arrange it!"

Excitement and excitement suddenly appeared on Norn's face. He didn't expect that the fall of the Weeping Banshee would prompt His Majesty to make up his mind to wipe out this pirate group. This was a pleasant surprise.

He shouted back:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

At the same time, it was not only the Kingdom of Ceylon that felt the fall of a legendary figure in the Northwest Sea. The coastal countries of the entire Northwest Continent, or the countries with spies stationed in the Northwest Sea, all received the news.

Soon, the news that the mermaids, sharkmen and scarlet predators had joined forces to attack the Weeping Trench spread throughout the northwestern continent.

This was another battle between such a large number of peak transcendents since the great battle between saints and legendary figures at the Northwest Region Exchange Conference in Florence.

Even the fall of a legend occurred again.

Western Region Empire, State Guesthouse.

Negotiations between Aifein and the Western Region Empire regarding the dwarf tribal strategy have been going on for more than a month.

The two sides still have major differences on some key issues. It seems that it will be difficult to reach a consensus within two or three months.

The supreme ruler of this empire, His Majesty Clemenceau Monroe, even came to the negotiation venue in person to communicate with Isabella Wenzel, the representative of Effiin.

His Majesty Monroe has repeatedly hinted that he hopes to have a face-to-face conversation with King Corleone of Effiin.

Isabella politely refused every time.

While Cohen and his men were attacking the Weeping Banshee in the Weeping Trench, the two sides were also negotiating.

Coincidentally, His Majesty Monroe had nothing to do today and also came to participate.

However, the negotiations were soon interrupted by the commotion in the northwest waters.

The Western Regions Empire's intelligence network and system are several times stronger than that of the Kingdom of Ceylon, and its information is faster and more accurate than that of the Kingdom of Ceylon.

His Majesty Monroe looked up at the beautiful woman sitting opposite him and asked with a hint of meaning:

"Miss Wen Ze seemed a little uneasy after seeing the intelligence just now. Could it be that the fighting in the northwest waters is related to her?"

Isabella came back to her senses, her face looking calm:

"Your Majesty Monroe, the pillar industries of our Golden Wing Family are the food and energy businesses that span the entire human continent.

The Northwest Continent is the largest grain-producing area for the entire human race. All transportation and cargo flows must pass through the Northwest Sea. The stability of the Northwest Sea is related to the stability of our Golden Wing family's business territory.

Do you think I can be indifferent to what happens in the Northwest Sea?"

His Majesty Monroe smiled and said:
"I see. However, I think Miss Wen Ze doesn't need to worry. According to our intelligence analysis, this legendary battle has nothing to do with our human continent.

I heard that it was a feud between the mermaids and the weeping banshees.

Furthermore, if the mermaids can eliminate the Weeping Banshees entrenched in the Weeping Trench, it will significantly improve the safety of the entire northwest sea area."

Isabella replied:

"I hope everything goes as your majesty wishes."

Emperor Monroe casually dropped the intelligence, as if what happened in the northwest waters was just a trivial matter to him.

Then he asked gently:
"Ms. Wen Ze, I wonder when His Majesty Corleone will be free to come to our Western Empire. I heard from Roland that His Majesty Corleone's parents once planned to have him come to our Western Empire for training.

Unfortunately, with the training of Queen Angryn, this plan was shelved."

Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, knowing that Emperor Monroe was hinting that he wanted to meet with Cohen in person for a detailed discussion.

But a hint is a hint. Why bring up Adele all of a sudden? Is he trying to make her jealous?
If this is true, then Emperor Monroe's tricks are too childish.

Although Isabella was jealous, she was not so jealous that she couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. Now she represented Effiin and Cohen, so how could she let her personal feelings interfere with her judgment?

Not knowing what Emperor Monroe was planning, Isabella responded with her usual attitude and tone:
"Your Majesty, I have received full authorization from His Majesty Corleone before I came here, and I can make all decisions for him.

You don’t have to meet him in person.”

Emperor Monroe smiled:
"I'm not doubting the affection and trust between Miss Wenzel and His Majesty Corleone.

I just want to meet this young talent.

To be honest, ever since I learned that His Majesty Corleone was the Lord of Shadows, I felt that this young king would definitely step onto the stage of humanity in the future and even become one of the most dazzling stars."

Regardless of the other party's purpose in saying this, the fact that the emperor of the five great empires flattered his beloved without reservation still made Isabella's expression soften a lot.

Isabella quickly calmed down and replied:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. I will certainly convey your message to His Majesty Corleone."

Emperor Monroe paused, then asked:

"By the way, Miss Wen Ze, there is something about Queen Effiin Angryen that I hope I can ask you for advice."

Isabella immediately became alert. As expected, Emperor Monroe's sudden mention of Adair wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. She calmly asked:
"Your Majesty, I haven't had much contact with Miss Yadel, so I may not understand some things."

Emperor Monroe waved his hand and said:
"I'm just asking casually, out of curiosity. It doesn't matter if Miss Wen Ze doesn't know.

Could you please send a message to His Majesty Corleone for me?"

Isabella said:

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Emperor Monroe spoke:
“It’s just a coincidence that I have a nephew who has been studying at the Cobalt Soul Academy.

I have a good relationship with Professor Galileo, the dean of the Northwest Branch of Cobalt Soul Academy, and my nephew occasionally assists him with some administrative work.

Not long ago, he returned to China to visit his relatives and talked about something.

He said that he seemed to have seen Queen Angryn's name on the list of new students holding golden admission invitations! "

Cobalt Soul Academy Golden Admission Invitation Letter!

Only the direct bloodline heirs of the five great empires are eligible to have it, and there is only one quota in each session.

Even though she is the daughter of the Golden Wing family, Isabella cannot possess a golden invitation.

Yadel Angryn, no matter what title she wears on her head, whether it is the most beautiful woman in the continent or the youngest legendary level in the continent, these will not be taken seriously by the Cobalt Soul Academy.

As a transcendent organization that has existed since the Age of Gods, the Cobalt Soul Academy has its own principles and methods for recruiting students.

Especially invitation letters above the silver level are almost impossible to obtain through normal channels.

During the battle at the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference, Cohen showed the golden invitation letter he had obtained in order to allow the Cobalt Soul Academy to take action naturally. However, only the three masters of the Black Tomb and Prince Xia Zuo of the Eastern Territory Empire were present at the time.

Unknown to the others, Cohen holds a golden invitation letter from Cobalt Soul Academy.

Therefore, one can imagine how shocked Emperor Monroe's nephew was when he saw that the queen of an ordinary principality could actually receive a golden invitation.

After returning to the country, he immediately reported the situation to his uncle the emperor, who had always been concerned about Effiin's movements.

When Isabella heard Emperor Monroe's question, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She was obviously also very surprised that Yadel had the golden invitation.

While she was in a daze, she recalled an old memory.

Once, when she and Cohen were in the "Lost Land", they met people from the Cobalt Soul Academy. They took Cohen away directly and the two sides almost got into a fight.

Could it be the invitation letter requested at that time?

Isabella suppressed her emotions and asked calmly:

“I’m really not sure about this matter. There are so many people with the same name. Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Did your Majesty's nephew ever see her in person at the academy?"

Emperor Monroe smiled and said:

"Ms. Wen Ze, I have no other intention in asking this question.

In addition to Queen Angryn being able to obtain the golden admission invitation letter from Cobalt Soul Academy, as far as I know, back in Florence, Cobalt Soul Academy also seemed to have dispatched a hundred "special-level" guard monks to help Effiin.

This really makes me curious about why your beloved, His Majesty King Corleone of Effiin, has such a close relationship with the Cobalt Soul Academy."

After all this preparation, the real purpose lies here! Emperor Monroe actually wants to know what exactly Cohen has in his hands that is worthy of the Cobalt Soul Academy's attention.

Isabella replied softly:

"Your Majesty, do you wish me to ask His Majesty Corleone?"

Emperor Monroe sighed, with a look of obvious regret on his face:
"Miss Wen Ze doesn't want to tell me?"

Isabella had a formulaic smile on her face:

"I'm truly sorry, but I know very little about this matter and have no valuable information to provide Your Majesty."

Emperor Monroe shook his head slightly and said:
"Miss Wen Ze, please be sure to tell His Majesty Corleone that our Western Empire has no ill will towards Effiin.

Not to mention the relationship between Roland and the Corleone royal family, personally speaking, I also have a very friendly attitude towards Effiin.

This world is big enough to accommodate a brand new kingdom...even an empire!
But some people don't think so. I hope His Majesty Corleone can recognize his true friends and enemies."

Isabella heard that Emperor Monroe's words were obviously pointed, so she asked directly:
"I wonder who the people Your Majesty is referring to are?"

Emperor Monroe lowered his voice:
"I heard that His Majesty Corleone is planning to participate in the [Noble Fighting Festival] to be held in Constantine in two years?"

Isabella replied:

"That's the plan."

Emperor Monroe said:

"Ms. Wen Ze, to tell you the truth, the people of the Central Empire are also very interested in the relationship between His Majesty Corleone and the Cobalt Soul Academy.

But they won't be as friendly as I am. After all, the Central Empire is their territory. If His Majesty Corleone really goes there, he won't be able to do what he wants."

Isabella fell into deep thought.

She didn't know about the secret deal between Cohen and the Empress of the Central Empire. After hearing what Emperor Monroe said, she felt that Cohen's trip was a bit risky.

Emperor Monroe saw the silent Isabella and said in a deep voice:

"If His Majesty Corleone really wants to go, I can go with him!"

Emperor Monroe's words shocked Isabella.

The ruler of a great empire is going with Cohen?

There is no doubt that Cohen's safety will be guaranteed at the highest level.

But she soon came to her senses. Emperor Monroe would definitely not do this in vain. The other party must have conditions. Isabella understood as her mind turned.

The other party's conditions have been mentioned before. Like the Central Empire's purpose, Emperor Monroe also wants to know the relationship between Cohen and the Cobalt Soul Academy. Of course, more important is Cohen's secret that makes the Cobalt Soul Academy attach so much importance to it.

Isabella nodded slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will convey your intentions accurately to His Majesty Corleone."

Emperor Monroe seemed very happy and said:

"It's so comfortable to talk to Miss Wen Ze. Okay, I won't bother you any more. You guys are busy.

I hope our negotiations will also have a good outcome!"

……

With the death of one of the legendary weeping banshees, the entire Weeping Trench has been thrown into chaos.

The Crimson Reaver's pirates have descended all the way in their stealth ship and are approaching the core of the Weeping Trench.

The remaining banshees, led by several ninth-order peak transcendents, quickly set up a defense line on the periphery.

As Beckman and three other deputy captains led the pirates to break through the defense line, the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

In the shadow plane, Cohen observed the banshees coming and going outside, and soon set his sights on a seventh-level banshee.

This banshee was followed by a team of seven or eight people, whose cultivation levels ranged from bronze to silver.

Cohen's eyes flickered as he checked the attribute panel. The experience value was 90488/100000.

Most of these 90,000+ experience points were accumulated during the Battle of Florence at the Northwest Exchange Conference, when Arnold led the Orc Legion to sweep across the Eastern Empire, the Central Empire, and the Black Tomb Alliance.

The rest were obtained in the Silver Frost Principality.

Beyond that, there were few suitable opportunities for Cohen to gain extensive experience.

Therefore, he must seize this opportunity to attack the Weeping Trench and allow his experience points to break through the threshold of 100,000.

Cohen looked at the experience value panel. As the pirates killed the banshees, the value was slowly rising.

After receiving the Scarlet Raiders, these pirates naturally became Cohen's soldiers. Every time the soldiers eliminated a transcendent of the same or higher level, Cohen would also enjoy a bonus of experience points.

But it’s still too slow!

At this rate, the limit of 100,000 can only be broken through if all the low-level sea monsters in the Weeping Trench are killed.

Cohen also hopes that these low-level sirens will build a defensive barrier for his base in the future, so he can't kill them all.

Then you can only kill enemies of higher levels or even higher levels, such as killing enemies of level 6 with level 5 or killing enemies of level 6 with level 5, and killing enemies of level 6 with level 5. The experience points you gain will increase exponentially.

The team in front of us, led by a seventh-level banshee, is a very suitable target.

Cohen didn't hesitate too much and directly escaped from the shadow plane, releasing his aura without any concealment.

The seventh-level banshees immediately sensed the breath of a silver-level human. The death of the banshee leader was making these middle and lower-level banshees extremely angry. At this moment, they felt the breath of a low-level human, and without any hesitation, they brought their men to surround Cohen.

Magical power surged in Cohen's body as he fled into the distance.

In addition to avoiding being besieged, he also didn't want Beckman and others to notice that he had taken action.

It's simply that his fighting style is too distinctive. Once you've seen him fight, you'll quickly associate him with King Effiin.

Arriving at a secluded place, Cohen turned around and looked at the eight banshees following him.

In addition to the seventh-level banshee in the lead, there is also a sixth-level, two fifth-level, two third-level, and two second-level.

Eight banshees directly surrounded Cohen. The leading banshee didn't bother to take action. She waved her hand and her seven subordinates pounced on Cohen.

The dragon seal on Cohen's hand flashed, and a dragon-shaped scimitar appeared. He looked at the banshee rushing towards him and let out a low growl.

The King's Treasure!

A golden ripple suddenly emerged behind him, and all the magic weapons in the hands of the seven banshees were sucked away by the golden ripple.

The banshees were shocked, but did not stop. Even with bare hands, this mere fifth-level human was no match for them.

Cohen wields his scimitar—and strikes back at the storm!
Except for the sixth-level attack that had a slight impact on Cohen, all other attacks of the same level and below were immune to the counterattack storm.

Even after being reduced by 80%, the sixth-level attack was completely blocked by Cohen's golden body.

Such an incredible scene immediately shocked the seventh-level banshee.

She couldn't understand why a weak fifth-level human could so easily withstand the combined attack of so many people of the same level and a sixth-level transcendent.

Cohen didn't give the opponent time to react, and counterattacked with a storm of stun!

The seven banshees were immediately stunned for seven seconds. The seventh-level banshee no longer hesitated, knowing that she had probably met a tough opponent. She flashed and rushed towards Cohen to save her men.

Magical power surged in Cohen's body.

Strengthening rune - Frozen foundation!
[Frozen Foundation (Silver Quality): Summons an ice wall at a location]

With a loud bang, the seventh-level banshee crashed head-on into a huge ice wall.

The ice wall began to spread, and then piled up into a huge frozen mausoleum, completely covering the seventh-level banshee.

The scimitar in Cohen's hand had transformed into a lighter sword, and the blade waltzed - in an instant, a fatal wound appeared on the throat of each banshee.

With a loud bang, as the seventh-level banshee broke through the ice wall, her seven subordinates fell to the ground.

The banshee let out a shrill whine and looked at Cohen fiercely.

Cohen's expression became extremely solemn. This was the first time he faced a gold-level transcendent.

After all, he had crossed a large gap between silver and gold, and the opponent's momentum alone gave him a little pressure.

The banshee suddenly floated up, and her screams seemed to tear the sea apart.

The dark green flames wrapped around his ten fingers and formed cold sharp blades.

Obviously, the other party has determined that Cohen has the skills to take away people's weapons. In order to avoid having her weapon taken away, the banshee directly uses magic to transform her hands into weapons.

The banshee took the lead and attacked Cohen.

Faced with the Banshee's ferocious attack, Cohen did not choose to resist it head-on, but directly escaped into the shadows to observe the opponent's attack strength.

The sharp blade in the banshee's hand instantly tore three cracks tens of meters long on the seabed. Wherever it passed, the rocks and sea sand melted like wax.

Cohen reappeared, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, worthy of being a golden-level transcendent.

The attack power has almost reached the limit of physical attack. This random blow is enough to withstand several times the combined attack of the banshees just now.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

If there is a slight possibility for a Bronze rank to defeat a Silver rank, then for a Silver rank to defeat a Gold rank... there is absolutely no possibility!

After being promoted to the gold rank, all the skills of the extraordinary person began to transform into domain skills. Every move carried a hint of domain rules, and the destructive power was incomparable to the extraordinary people below the gold rank.

This is no longer a simple difference in numbers, but a crushing at different levels.

The random slash of the seventh-level banshee just now actually had some destructive power that carried with it some "corrosive" rules.

If any extraordinary person below the gold level were to touch it, he would be corroded without a trace left in an instant!
However, it was not a big deal for Cohen. The resistance of the golden body was enough to withstand the erosion of the rules. This was also the strongest point of the golden body.

After trying a few moves, Cohen had a rough estimate of the true combat power of the seventh-level banshee in front of him. He drank a bottle of power drink, and the magic power surged in his body, and the fighting spirit burst out!
