The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

“No problem. I went back to my territory for a few days before, and a few people sent me letters hoping that I could send someone to Saint Eagle Castle to attend a meeting. They said that all I need to do is send someone to attend.”

Kosichello pulled out a package and took out all the letters inside.

As for why she carried these things with her... it was because she realized that she needed something to trade with Qiao Yelan, otherwise she wouldn't have gone back to her territory first before coming to find Qiao Yelan.

The man picked up the letters with great interest. These letters came from nobles and the military, but the surnames on the letters indicated that they were actually sent by the same group of people.

“I have no interest in playing these games with them. These nobles are of no use except making Ursus worse. I usually can’t be bothered with them, and they know my attitude.”

Kosich said with considerable disgust.

"So you don't need to give them face this time. You can attend the meeting if you want, or ignore them if you don't—as long as you don't say I'm going to rebel in front of the emperor at Saint Eagle Fortress, do whatever you want."

It's clear she's trying her best to sell this title for a good price.

“Okay, then the next thing is—I need your protection during my visit to Saint-Eagle Castle.”

"I knew it. You're so cautious to an unbelievable degree. I really don't know why you're so afraid of death—we have such advanced artificial human technology, and I've even given you the technology for soul infusion, so why are you still clinging to this weak body of yours?"

Kosich rolled his eyes.

"How am I supposed to follow you this time? Like in the last Four Emperors battle, will I reside in your body and stay with you? Or will I pretend to be your guard and be inseparable from you?"

"My main question is, which method would be best to protect me during this visit to Eagle's Fortress?"

Qiao Yelan's problem highlights his desire to make the most of everything.

“With this body, my combat power is guaranteed, but the problem is that my concealment technique is not strong enough, so there may be places you go that I can neither take you in nor be able to sneak in—after all, that is the Holy Eagle Fortress.”

"If I possess someone, I can take action anytime, anywhere, but my combat power will be greatly reduced because I have to attack in soul form. After all, your body is practically an Originium insulator. Don't even mention spell construction, I doubt you could eat Originium as food and still not get Originium disease."

Kosic was quite straightforward in revealing the truth.

"Then possession would be better—you don't mind, do you?"

"Hmph, it's not the first time, so what's there to mind? I'll just follow you for now. Whenever you want to go to Ursus, just tell me."

Kosic got up to leave.

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I haven't finished stating my request yet."

"besides?"

The woman's eyes were somewhat unfriendly; the other party seemed to be asking for an exorbitant amount—but she still obediently sat down.

"However, this job is extra, so I can give you an advance payment—intelligence that will definitely help you return to Lungmen, how about it?"

Qiao Yelan spread out his hands.

"Tell me the intelligence first."

Kosichello immediately became interested.

"You should remember that during the time Prince Wei Yanwu fought with you, he had a close brother who was not from the Great Yan. The two of them were inseparable, and Wei Yanwu even married his own sister to him."

“I remember him. He was very strong, no less than Wei Yanwu—I think he was named Edward Waifan.”

Qiao Yelan chuckled and shook her head, then pulled a document from the pile and handed it to Kosich.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, your information is seriously wrong. This Edward is not Wayvan—Edward Atrias. He is a true Drak, and also the rightful heir to the Victorian Red Dragon royal family."

"what!"

Kosiché examined the intelligence carefully, his face full of surprise.

"A former Victorian royal family member married a princess of the Great Yan royal family—this is not a combination that the current Emperor of Great Yan and the Dukes of Victoria would like to see."

Qiao Yelan reminded him.

“That’s right, the Grand Dukes will definitely put pressure on him, and Wei Yanwu’s younger brother, who has inherited the throne, will never allow this to happen—this is a good target to sow discord between Wei Yanwu!”

Kosic almost jumped up from his chair in excitement.

"So, are you satisfied with this advance payment?"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

She calmed herself down and looked at Qiao Yelan.

"I need you to use your ability to see through people's hearts to help the twins sift through the officials and nobles who are still in Vidonia. Not to mention screening out the truly loyal people, at least we can't let any weak-willed or treacherous individuals take advantage of the situation."

Qiao Yelan has laid his cards on the table.

In order to help Helena and Ivignad assemble a usable team as quickly as possible, he decided to make some outside help.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Offering Help in Times of Need

"Help those twins screen officials and nobles from Vidunia?"

Kosiché frowned slightly.

Actually, Qiao Yelan's request was a bit overpriced. Although the information he provided was very good, it was still just information. She would be responsible for the subsequent dissemination and operation, so she was currently short of time.

"Your Excellency, please consider this: with even Ursus abandoning its support for you now, securing a stable supply route that can help you retake Lungmen is already quite difficult."

The man's voice seemed to possess an innate charm, making one involuntarily want to listen to what he had to say.

"To the east lies the Great Yan, to the north Ursus, and to the south lies the wasteland once known as Kazdel—now, the only force that hasn't yet decided to turn against you is located in only one direction, and there..."

"Leytania, Radiant Hoof City".

Kosich's voice was very deep.

“Yes, the only way I can support you is through Shining Hoof City, but our deal can’t be made public, Kosichrie. So you have to take advantage of the current uncertainty and first make good on the twins—after all, it’s the best time to help someone in need that people will remember you.”

Qiao Yelan looked into the woman's eyes and said very seriously.

"Goodwill is ridiculous in politics, but goodwill is a prerequisite for a deal to begin. If you help them now, then when you need something from Letania in the future, as long as they remain neutral, it will be of great help to you."

“This is a great opportunity. I originally wanted the banshee standing outside the door to take charge; they are also masters of manipulating people's hearts—but I think you need this opportunity more than she does.”

"......Thanks."

Kosiché sighed.

Only when you are in trouble can you truly understand the meaning of "offering help in times of need"—when he was abandoned by his own country and even trampled on by villains, Kosichev himself could not deny the relief and warmth he felt when he heard that Qiao Yelan was willing to continue to support him.

"But are you sure those two can really hold onto the throne?"

"Of course, that's the emperor I chose."

Qiao Yelan spoke treasonous words in a seemingly kind manner.

"If someone else said that, I'd probably just laugh it off, but since you've put it that way..."

Kosicche stood up.

“Three days. I need three days to arrange the dissemination of this intelligence. I will be back in three days to help the twins—of course, I will need you to act as a go-between.”

"Okay, it's a deal."

Qiao Yelan reached out and shook hands with the other person.

As Logos watched the other person disappear outside the door, he was about to come in when a gentle remark stopped him.

"Go and rest, Logos. The unstable element has left. Professor Fremont and I still have a few words to discuss."

The succubus paused for a moment, then turned and walked towards her room without asking any further questions.

Fremont sat down in Kosich's previous seat and poured himself a glass of water.

"No, can't you let the old man go home and rest? What's wrong?"

"For the time being, I won't be needed in Vidunia. With Kosich's help, Ivignad and Helimat can quickly stabilize the situation, so I need to go to Lungmen and deal with the issues in the Haydenschwell region along the way."

"Go to Lungmen? According to what Kosiché said before, it's not much more stable there than it is now in Vidonia. And you are Kosiché's biggest supporter. If you secretly enter Lungmen at this time, aren't you afraid that Wei Yanwu will chop you up with one blow?"

The old lich spoke with utter malice.

"Secretly enter? I have an invitation—it's the Swire family's little princess's fifth birthday party. How can I, as her godfather, not be there?"

Qiao Yelan said calmly.

One sentence caused Fremont's CPU to overheat, but fortunately, he still managed to shrewdly grasp a name.

"Swire...isn't this the merchant family you mentioned before, the one that's loyal to the Great Yan, your rival?"

"What's wrong? When it comes to business, it's all about business. No matter how much fighting there is outside, business people can talk once they sit down at the same table."

Qiao Yelan picked up his water glass; the water was still warm.

"You bastard... you should stay away from Vidonia. Just one day with you and I feel like I've lost ten years of my life."

Fremont sighed.

"If you want me to come less often, then you need to focus more of your attention on Helinmat and Ivignad. If they're fine, then everything will be fine. But if something happens to them, I'll be the one to handle it, understand? I don't care about other places, but at least in Vidunia, you must make sure their safety is guaranteed—I don't want to deal with the Helhunzoren incident a second time!"

Qiao Yelan said coldly.

It was because of this old man's slacking off that such a big thing happened in Letania—get overtime like crazy!

"You bastard—I'm going back to find that guy, that guy... oh right, the one you don't get along with, Theresis. I'm going to join him and give him a good beating!"

The old lich gritted his teeth; this guy was even more exploitative than the Blood Lord.

"Then you can go earlier. Theresis is preparing to launch a rebellion. The timing should be after I return to Kazdel after my tour. If you go earlier, he can make the necessary adjustments to his report."
