Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 211 Break through the golden body, defeat the devil, and "enter" the legend overnight!
(Thanks to the book friend "Marry a Name Sun" for the ten consecutive rewards, thank you boss!)
Cohen's sudden harsh tone made the already silent atmosphere in the council chamber even more tense and heavy.

Cohen looked at Prince Hauge who was not far away.

Prince Hauge slowly stood up and sent someone to distribute documents to his ministers.

It lists some names and some of the things these people did.

They are none other than those who have opposed, attacked, and slandered Yadel over the years.

After seeing the list, many people looked horrified. The large number of people on the list, the detailed materials and the sufficient evidence made them feel deeply frightened.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, watching their every move.

Thinking of Prince Hauge's other identity, a name came to everyone's mind -

Effiin Military Committee Investigation and Statistics Bureau!

Cohen looked at everyone's expressions and thought that in troubled times, spy politics was still the most practical.

Only in this way can we intimidate these restless nobles.

Those who could come to the Council Hall to attend the meeting were naturally people of high status and power. Looking at the names on the list, these people were filled with complicated emotions.

Some of them are their trusted subordinates, some are their relatives and friends, and some are even themselves.

They couldn't help but show expressions of horror, and looked at their Prime Minister with pleading eyes!
They didn't dare to ask the king and queen for help, so they could only place their hopes on the queen's father, the prime minister, who had the most dealings with them.

Prime Minister Angus was in a dilemma. Faced with the pleading looks of many old friends and subordinates, he looked at his daughter.

Adele was also slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the first thing Cohen did after taking power was to stand up for herself.

Although he felt extremely warm in his heart, if all the officials on the list were dealt with, the bureaucracy of Effiin would be cut by at least a quarter.

She looked at Cohen and found that he had given her a subtle wink. Adele suddenly realized something, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly:

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Although these people are hateful, their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.

Apart from a few of the main culprits, it would be better to give lenient sentences to the remaining accomplices, considering that they have worked for Effiin for so many years."

Hearing Her Majesty the Queen say this, the eyes of the ministers lit up again.

Cohen pretended to think for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

“Since the queen has pleaded for you, I will let you go for now.

Except for the few leaders, all the other officials on the list were dismissed on the spot and sent to the National Cadre College for re-education.

Reassign positions and levels based on learning outcomes.”

Cohen's voice echoed throughout the council hall, and no one dared to raise any objections.

Cohen paused for a moment and continued:
"During the defense of Florence, most of the Senate defected. This institution, originally meant to protect the royal family and ensure the safety of core leaders, instead became an accomplice of hostile forces, resulting in extremely detrimental effects and consequences.

This king proposes that Effiin abolish the Senate from now on.

Re-establish an agency called the 'Special Operations Committee'.

All extraordinary people who have broken through the legendary level can choose to join the Special Operations Committee and become the country's special operations specialists. Their welfare benefits are the same as those of the elders of the Senate.

Does anyone have any comments? "

The ministers dared not express any opinions and could only watch as the Senate system, which had existed in Effiin for thousands of years, was swept into the dustbin of history.

From now on, no organization or force in the entire Effiin can restrain the royal power.

Cohen continued:

"I will concurrently serve as the director of the Special Operations Committee, and the Queen will concurrently serve as the deputy director and director of the office. If there are no other objections, this matter will be settled.

The Prime Minister will seize the opportunity to do this after he leaves the country."

Prime Minister Angus stood up and replied.

Cohen continued:

“During the Aifein rebellion suppression incident, in addition to the Queen and Prince Hauge, many comrades also worked silently behind the scenes and made indelible contributions to the successful suppression of the rebellion.

Among them, three have made the most significant contributions.

They are Arnold Considine, general of the Orc Legion.

The Queen's Knight-Squire, Asuna Iliad.

Herman Donald, former permanent secretary to Lord Gore, the former Foreign Secretary."

As Cohen's voice fell, the three of them stood up one after another.

As three people specially approved to attend the cabinet meeting, the ministers noticed them early on.

Of the three, they were most familiar with Asuna and Hermann.

The former is a squire knight appointed by Her Majesty the Queen herself, and during the great turmoil he revealed his identity as a dragon-riding warrior, which was extremely shocking.

The latter was Baron Gore's permanent secretary, and many ministers had dealt with him. When they heard that His Majesty the King listed the traitor Gore's permanent secretary as one of the three great heroes, they immediately realized that Secretary Hermann was most likely the intelligence officer planted by His Majesty next to Gore.

For a moment, the ministers became even more awed by Cohen. His Majesty had actually long seen through the Gore and DuPont family's rebellious intentions and even planted undercover agents. This made these ministers feel a little uneasy about the people around them.

Even someone as shrewd as Gore has a pair of eyes planted around him by His Majesty without anyone noticing. So, could it be that His Majesty also has spies around them?

This is exactly the effect Cohen wanted.

Apart from Asuna and Hermann, General Arnold Constant seemed much more unfamiliar.

But it was this man who commanded an elite legion of 20,000 orcs and swept away the elite troops of the two empires. The unparalleled command and leadership displayed by Arnold shocked everyone present at the time.

Therefore, when Cohen singled out these three people for praise, the ministers had no reason to object, either publicly or privately.

Immediately, a minister spoke up to support the idea and suggested that the three men should be rewarded.

Cohen looked at the person who spoke, Sidon, the Minister of Four Realms Affairs, who was related to the Dark Wing Family of the Pale Wing.

Cohen chuckled:
"Of course we need to reward them, and we need to give them a huge reward!"

Then, Cohen spoke, and the moment he spoke, everyone was shocked:
“This king proposes to grant Herman Donaldson the hereditary title of Viscount and the fiefdom of the former Viscount Dupont family!

Promote Viscount Hermann to Deputy Minister of National Justice, Assistant to the Grand Chancellor, and Director of the Secretariat of the Eiffin Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau."

As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar immediately arose in the council hall!
To directly confer upon a secretary who was originally unknown, mediocre and had no title as a hereditary viscount of the country?

There are even territories!

This is unprecedented in the entire history of Effiin.

In Effiin, which has been developing for thousands of years, the noble territories across the country have long been divided up. The birth of each hereditary noble title has to go through countless rounds of fighting and scramble.

The intensity is no less than a war.

But now, with just a few words from His Majesty the King, he gave away a hereditary viscount and an entire viscount's territory.

If the person sitting on the throne was not His Majesty the King who annihilated the coalition forces of the two empires, forced the direct descendants of the royal family to commit suicide with his own hands, and wiped out the five rebellious senators in the Senate, the ministers would have stood up to oppose it long ago.

The rebellion of the DuPont family and the Grand Duke of the South resulted in a large number of ownerless aristocratic territories in the country. Countless powerful people had long been eyeing these two big pieces of cake, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

But His Majesty the King took away the Viscountry of the DuPont family with just one word, which made many people feel difficult to accept.

Looking at the rewards he received later, he was promoted directly from a permanent secretary to the position of Deputy Minister of Justice and Assistant to the Chief Justice, which almost made him a candidate for the next Chief Justice.

This Hermann must be no more than forty years old this year. A cabinet minister under forty?
The ministers felt their hearts pounding. Compared with the first two, the last one, the director of the secretariat of the Military Intelligence Bureau, seemed less eye-catching.

However, some clever people realized that the so-called Military Intelligence Bureau Secretariat was only serving the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau was concurrently the King himself.

This means that Hermann's secretariat is the office of His Majesty the King, which is almost equivalent to taking away most of the cabinet's power, making it equivalent to a small cabinet.

Faced with Cohen's proposal, Hermann's body trembled violently. Not only the ministers couldn't believe it, but Hermann himself couldn't believe it either.

He was completely surprised by Cohen's generous reward. It was not only a hereditary viscount title, but also a real noble title. Hermann could hardly believe his ears.

Tears welled up in his eyes as he suddenly recalled the promise Cohen had made to him when they first met: One year later, he would make that bastard Viscount marry his daughter to you politely and respectfully!
Hermann dared to guarantee that once the news of today's cabinet meeting got out, the father of his first love would definitely send his daughter to him with both hands.

Hermann moved his lips but said nothing more. He was familiar with Cohen's character.

As long as you do your job seriously, nothing else needs to be said.

Hermann's reward came to an end, and none of the ministers raised any objection.

One reason was that he was intimidated by Cohen's power, and the other was because of the list just now.

The ministers present here are more or less involved with the people on the list, and even those who are not involved have some unclean past.

After witnessing the Military Intelligence Bureau's all-pervasive intelligence-gathering capabilities, who could now guarantee that His Majesty the King did not have any dirty laundry on them?

Cohen glanced at everyone, chuckled inwardly, and continued:
"Regarding the award for the Queen's Knight Squire, Asuna Iliad..."

Cohen paused deliberately, and the ministers pricked up their ears, waiting for Cohen's words.

When His Majesty the King read out the names of these three people just now, he clearly ranked them according to their merits.

Now Hermann, who had made the least contribution among the three, had received such a generous reward, not to mention the other two.

Coupled with Asuna's stunning appearance, many people secretly wondered if this incredibly talented Valkyrie also served as the King's bedmate.

If that's the case, wouldn't the reward she could receive be even more outrageous?
Many people even secretly turned their gaze to Her Majesty the Queen, trying to tell from her expression what her attitude was towards the young and beautiful squire knight.

Her Majesty the Queen would not tolerate an equally outstanding and beautiful woman appearing around His Majesty the King frequently.

Unfortunately, Her Majesty the Queen still looked as calm as a lake, and no expression could be seen on her beautiful face.

Just as everyone's thoughts were swirling, Cohen's voice rang out. When these few words entered the ears of the ministers, all the ministers in the audience, including Prime Minister Angus, could not help but open their mouths wide.

Cohen's voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable determination:

"This king intends to crown the dragon-riding warrior Lady Asuna Iliad as the Red Dragon Duchess!
All the territories of the former Grand Duke of the Southern Territory will be transferred to the Red Dragon Duchess!"

Cohen's words were like dropping a huge rock, instantly causing a huge storm in the quiet council hall.

Red Dragon Duchess!
The former territory of the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory?
The expressions on the ministers' faces were wonderful, and they looked at His Majesty the King in disbelief as he calmly said these words.

This is one of the four largest duchies in the country!
Just give it to a young girl so lightly?

Why?
Even though she is a rare dragon-taming warrior, and even though she has made an unparalleled contribution in suppressing the rebellion, this reward is too great!
Grand Duke of the Four Territories, wasn't his ancestor a founding hero who accompanied Corleone's ancestors to conquer the world?
Now all the power, prestige and influence are being transferred to a young girl in her twenties. Even if Cohen is sitting on the throne, the ministers can no longer remain silent.

Asuna was also surprised when she heard what Cohen said. She looked at Cohen and found that he was talking and laughing with the queen, not caring at all about the quarrel in the council hall.

He suddenly became furious, snorted and turned away.

Asuna was born into an aristocratic family and knew the value of a hereditary duke's noble title and grand duchy, but she was not very interested in these. She still hoped to be with Cohen.

Finally, under the encouraging gazes of the ministers, a minister was pushed forward as a representative to advise His Majesty the King.

Cohen stopped teasing Adele under the table and saw the person coming, his eyes moved slightly.

It was Baron Holt, the former Foreign Secretary who was seriously ill.

In order to remove Baron Gore from the position of Lord Chancellor, the Queen had Baron Holt resign from his post and given him the sinecure of Lord Privy Seal so that he could recuperate.

Today is the first day since His Majesty the King took power. Even though Baron Holt is about to die of illness, he has to force himself to get up and attend the meeting.

Baron Holt is an old-fashioned aristocratic knight who is meticulous in his work and has great prestige and influence in Effiin.

Before Prime Minister Angus ascended to the throne with the help of his beloved daughter, Baron Holt had always been the first candidate to become the next Prime Minister.

In fact, from his position as Foreign Minister, it can be seen that as a powerful cabinet member second only to the Prime Minister and the Minister of War, Holt has always been trusted by Cohen's father, the Queen, and his mother.

Holt also has outstanding personal abilities, profound and keen political insight, and is able to quickly and accurately grasp the key points in the complex and turbulent international situation.

He has served as Aifeiyin's minister to the Western Empire, the Northern Empire, and the Charter Entente. He has rich diplomatic experience and his words are sharp and contagious. It can be said that he single-handedly supports Aifeiyin's diplomatic image.

In Cohen's words from his previous life, Baron Holt was the regent left to him by his father.

Unfortunately, Baron Holt did not have a good talent for cultivation and had never reached the level of transcendence. As he grew older, his physical condition deteriorated rapidly, especially after the death of the previous king and Angus came to power. Baron Holt was hit hard. After losing the opportunity to become prime minister, his morale dropped.

His physical condition is getting worse day by day, and it seems that he won’t live for many days.

Cohen was not surprised to see the ministers put forward Baron Holt as their representative.

Whether it is seniority, prestige or fearlessness of dying, Holt is the right person for the job.

Not to mention that Baron Holt was an extremely old-fashioned, conservative and stubborn aristocrat. Naturally, he was strongly opposed to Cohen's obvious attempt to "change the ancestral rules."

Cohen anticipated Holt's objection and had already thought of a response.

While thinking, Holt's weak voice rang out:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Cohen said in a kind tone:

"Minister Holt, please speak."

Holt:
"Your Majesty, I have no objection to rewarding meritorious individuals. However, the Four Territories and the Four Territories are special honors bestowed upon the four knights who, alongside the Corleone ancestors, expanded the territory and made great contributions to the founding of the nation. Your Majesty, if you so easily bestow these honors upon a beautiful young girl, it will inevitably generate a lot of unwarranted criticism."

What groundless accusations were there? It was nothing more than saying that Cohen was nepotistic and had made his lover the Grand Duke. Baron Holt didn't say it so clearly, but Cohen heard it.

He said calmly:
"Minister Holt is overthinking it. This king is not afraid of any rumors. As for the credit for expanding our territory... there are some things you may not know.

This king also has some power in the 'Lost Land'. This power was built from scratch with the help of the Red Dragon Duke, and he has always been the highest commander to help manage and develop it.

It can be said that the reason why I was able to use so many resources and trump cards in the battle to quell the rebellion in Florence is inseparable from the support of the "Lost Land" forces.

The Red Dragon Duke's contributions are comparable to the so-called territorial expansion achievements of the ministers of the four territories!"

After Cohen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the council hall became much quieter. Although the ministers were still dissatisfied and confused, this reason at least made it easier for them to accept.

Most of them had heard of places like the "Lost Land". Even the five great empires found it difficult to establish a power there. If Asuna really established a power there that could provide Effiin with various resources as Her Majesty said, her contribution would indeed be justified.

It can also be regarded as expanding the territory for Effiin.

Cohen looked at Holt and continued:

"Minister Holt, when I was young, I heard my father often mention you. He said you were a rare and capable official in Effiin, and a mature and experienced person who would plan for the country. I also hope that you can contribute more in the future and continue to shine for Effiin's diplomatic cause!"

Cohen's warm gesture brought tears to Holt's eyes. Indeed, as an old servant who had served Effiin for most of his life, he certainly wanted to see Effiin grow stronger step by step.

Now that Cohen had shown him this hope, he certainly wanted to burn again for the rise of Effiin, but his body ultimately wouldn't allow it.

Baron Holt's tone became much stronger and more sincere:
"I have been deeply grateful to the late king and Your Majesty for their kindness. I, an old minister, would like to continue to contribute to the country, but my health..."

Baron Holt sighed deeply and said nothing more.

Cohen chuckled and said:

"A thousand-year-old holy fruit of the elves is enough to allow Mr. Baron to shine for Effie for another thirty years!"

Cohen's words instantly caused astonishment in the council hall.

A thousand-year-old holy fruit of the elves?
That is a rare treasure that only the elven royal family possesses. Even if a dying old man has one, he can immediately extend his life by fifty years. This is a rare item that only appears among the upper class nobles of the five major empires.

For a moment, all kinds of envious, passionate and jealous eyes moved back and forth on Baron Holt.

Baron Holt was also stunned, trembling all over, with an incredible light in his eyes.

Cohen actually had plans for Baron Holt a long time ago. In future changes in the situation, diplomacy and military are equally important and are the two legs supporting Effiin's development.

Military power can ensure that Effiin defeats the enemy, while diplomacy allows Effiin to gain more benefits from the defeated enemy.

It can also ensure that it will not be attacked by a joint attack of various countries.

Throwing out a thousand-year-old holy fruit of the elves at this time was not only to give him a sweet reward after a blow, but also to sincerely win over this old minister who had worked for the Corleone royal family all his life.

It was just that Adele, who was sitting next to Cohen, pinched Cohen hard when no one was paying attention.

Needless to say, this thousand-year-old holy fruit of the elves must have been obtained by Cohen from Windsordale. Cohen's mouth twitched slightly. It hurts. Just wait, I'll make you feel pain tonight too!
Cohen suppressed his thoughts and continued:
"To be frank with you all, I have more than one Elf Holy Fruit, especially the aged Elf Holy Fruit.

This time, this thousand-year-old holy fruit of the elves is to commend Minister Holt for his hard work over the past decades.

As for the rest, it depends on your performance."

The ministers' eyes suddenly became much more heated, they knew that Cohen was not fooling them.

Most people also saw when Aifein suppressed the rebellion a few days ago. His Majesty the King had a deep friendship with a princess of the Winged Elves, so it was not difficult to get a few Holy Fruits of the Elves.

Who could have too much of something that can prolong life?
With Holt's sudden change of sides, the ministers no longer raised any objection. Coupled with Cohen's generous conditions, the ministers tacitly agreed to Cohen's reward for Asuna.

Next comes the final highlight, the reward for Arnold, the greatest contributor.

With the first two as a foundation, the ministers were mentally prepared.

Cohen's voice slowly rang out:
"Appoint Arnold Considine as hereditary Marquis of the State and grant him the title of Marshal.

Marshal Considine was appointed as a member of the Eiffin Military Committee, Deputy Minister of Defense, Assistant Minister of War, and Chief of Staff of the Capital Garrison Command.

The Orc Legion under his command was given the title of "Tiger Army", and became Effiin's first fully-formed elite army, commanded by Marshal Considine."

After hearing Cohen's announcement, everyone was numb with shock.

Hereditary Marquis... Never mind. Anyway, no one has taken over the power of Viscount Collins, who was killed in court by Her Majesty the Queen last time, so he might as well pack it up and give it to this popular marshal.

After all, he was commanding the first elite army since the founding of Effiin, so the ministers could accept it more.

As for the subsequent Deputy Minister of Defense and Assistant Minister of War... needless to say, they also paved the way for Arnold to become Minister of War in the future.

At the first meeting after Cohen took office, the future small team had already taken shape.

After the knocks and rewards were completed, the meeting was almost over. Near the end of the meeting, Cohen suddenly thought of something and said:
“By the way, although I am now personally in charge of government, I still have a lot of things to do. Sometimes I am not even in Aifeiyin, so I may not be able to spare much time to inquire about state affairs.

From now on, everyone will continue to do as before.

The Queen's special office does not need to be abolished. Except for military affairs, all government affairs are still subject to the Queen's approval. The Queen's personal approval is as valid as the King's signature.

The meeting is over! "

Everyone looked at the disappearing king and the queen who remained on the throne, and looked at each other in confusion.

What did they hear just now?
Does a king of a country even have to leave his country frequently?
Compared to this, the impact of allowing the queen to continue to hold power is much smaller.

Anger was already welling up in Adele's heart. This bastard, it looked like he was trying to sneak away again!
Regardless of whether he was doing serious work or not, Adele was furious when she thought of so many vixens out there waiting for her.

Yadel suppressed her emotions, swept her cold gaze over the ministers, and said coldly:

"All the decisions His Majesty just announced must be implemented within three days. If they are not implemented, you have all experienced the methods I have used before, so I will not warn you one by one. The meeting is adjourned!"

When the ministers saw Her Majesty the Queen's familiar style, they couldn't help but feel sympathetic and began to miss His Majesty the King who had just left.

I even think it would be better to let His Majesty come back to take power. At least His Majesty seems easier to communicate with than the legendary queen who is as cold as a mountain of ice.

……

Cohen returned to the study and waited for a moment before hearing crisp footsteps, followed by a knock on the door.

Cohen was not surprised and responded. Asuna pushed open the door and walked in with a complicated look on her face.

Cohen knew that Asuna would definitely come to see him, so he had already made preparations. He brewed Asuna's favorite brand of black tea early and handed it to her directly.

Asuna looked at the attentive Cohen, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly, and she sighed:
"Your Majesty, why did you give me the Southern Territory without even telling me?"

Cohen grabbed Asuna's delicate white hand, pulled her close to him, and whispered:

"Why? That's a genuine duchy. I wonder how many people are vying for it."

Asuna's smooth, jade-like face flushed, and she whispered:

"Your Majesty, what will others think of me if you do this? Conferring a title of Duke is already presumptuous enough, but you're also going to take over the entire southern border... Now people will say I'm..."

Cohen reached out and lifted Asuna's chin, a smile in his eyes:

"Say what you are?
His Majesty the King’s kept lover?
Why, a great dragon knight is afraid of these rumors?"

Asuna rolled her eyes at Cohen and asked:

"Your Majesty, please don't be so disrespectful. Be careful that Her Majesty the Queen will hear you and punish you."

Cohen was confused. Do I look like someone who is afraid of the queen?

Cohen gently hit Asuna's buttocks, causing a wave of movement. Asuna quickly jumped away and said angrily:
"Your Majesty, if you continue like this, I will complain to Her Majesty the Queen and say that you are bullying me."

How could Asuna, a mere fifth-level cultivator, escape from Cohen's clutches? With the magic power surging in his hands, a dragon-shaped rope bound Asuna tightly, revealing her hot body completely.

Cohen secretly sighed after seeing this, it was really a case of small branches bearing great fruit. Well, Asuna's "weapon" could be ranked in the top three.

He pinched Asuna's cheek and said viciously:
"Try calling him Your Majesty again?"

"Sir... please don't mess around. Let me go! His Highness might see me soon."

Cohen finally released the rope and looked at Asuna, who suddenly jumped out and crossed her arms in a defensive position. He smiled and said:

"Okay, enough playing around, let's get down to business, about your appointment."

Asuna gave Cohen a reproachful look and sat back down.

Cohen said seriously:

"I have a special purpose in banishing you to the southern border. The southern border is adjacent to the Kingdom of Ceylon, which will be my main target for the next few years.

I have to make sure I have a stable and strong rear behind me.

The Gaunt family has been operating in the South for thousands of years, and their relationships are complex and deep-rooted.

Thousands of years of sedimentation are enough to make every corner of this land bear the mark of the Gaunt family.

From farmlands to towns, from ports to mines, basically everyone in the Gaunt family is involved, either openly or secretly.

And his allied families and subordinate forces throughout the southern border are like a giant, impenetrable net, covering every inch of land in the southern border.

Although the main forces of the Gaunt family have been wiped out by us, there are definitely still many remnants hiding in secret, and they may even continue to lurk with the help of the power of the Kingdom of Ceylon and cause trouble for us secretly.

I must select a capable and trustworthy person to help me keep an eye on the southern border and eliminate these hidden dangers.

Only in this way can I confidently and boldly use my military force against the Kingdom of Ceylon and complete my plan.

So, my Red Dragon Duchess, are you willing to take on this glorious and arduous task for your lord?"

There was a hint of determination in Asuna's eyes, which was exactly why Coen admired her.

Possessing an indomitable fighting desire and firm belief, a tenacious girl who is determined to advance to the extraordinary level even if she fails countless times, coupled with her stunning beauty and unparalleled talent, not many men can resist Asuna's charm.

Asuna nodded solemnly.
"Sir, I will complete the task you assign to me, but my identity..."

A newly crowned Red Dragon Duchess, although the title sounds intimidating, people in the southern border may not take her seriously.

To those old bureaucrats who have been in the officialdom for many years, Asuna is just a girl in her early twenties.

Asuna is also from a noble family and is familiar with the nobles' philosophy of survival. She is worried that it will affect Cohen's plan.

Cohen laughed, ruffled Asuna's long chestnut hair, and said:

"I promise they won't look down on you, they'll even respect you."

Asuna looked puzzled.

Cohen smiled and said:

“They may despise the Red Dragon Duchess, but they would never dare to disregard the King’s lover!

Pillow talk is much more direct and effective than memorials or official documents!"

Asuna's fair neck flushed, and she whispered:

"So this is what the master is planning!"

Cohen reached out and grabbed Asuna's hand, biting her earlobe and said:

"My female knight, will you fulfill another knight's duty and turn the rumor into truth?"

Asuna bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears as she whispered:
"This is the Queen's study..."

Wouldn’t that be more exciting?

Cohen's dirty thoughts flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed the anger that was aroused by this little girl.

The Queen is still here, so don’t do anything out of the ordinary. There will be plenty of opportunities to go to the South in the future!

Cohen stopped teasing the innocent female knight and bit her red lips, calling it a day.

Asuna covered her mouth in shame and anger, her eyes widened as she stared at Cohen angrily.

Cohen said seriously:
"Stop making trouble. I will tell Sidon, the Minister of Four Territories Affairs, to give you a copy of the Southern Territory information. You should study it carefully over the next two days.

In addition, I will also assign you a capable assistant to help you eliminate the rebels in the southern border."

Asuna touched her lips and said unhappily:

"What assistant?
Could it be that this is another little girl that the gentleman tricked out of somewhere?"

Cohen's expression froze. This little girl actually guessed it right.

Seeing Cohen's actions, Asuna felt a strange sense of resentment and asked:

"Who, have I seen?"

Cohen smiled awkwardly and said:

"We've met before, Rosalina, the little girl lurking in the Black Tomb.

The Grand Duke of the Southern Territory once had a close collaboration with the Black Tomb through Andre. With Rosalina's help, you can find those cancerous and rebellious elements more quickly."

Asuna knew that now was not the time to be jealous, so she nodded and said:
"Okay, with Miss Rosalinsha's help, the pressure on me should be much relieved."

Cohen continued:

"Besides this, there is something more important. I am going to form a dragon army for you."

Asuna's eyes widened.

"Can you get another dragon, sir?"

Cohen shrugged and said:

"It doesn't have to be a giant dragon, any dragon-like magical beast with dragon blood will do.

With the bonus of the Dragon Tamer Warriors, the combat effectiveness of these dragon beasts will also soar. This is the true power of the Dragon Tamer Warriors.

As for the pure dragon, when you grow up, I will take you to the Dragon Valley to find it."

Asuna nodded.

Cohen continued:

“Well, now I need some help from you.

Could you give me some dragon blood from your contracted red dragon?"

Asuna frowned slightly and said:
"Of course you can, but not too much, otherwise it will affect Xiaohong's growth."

Cohen responded:

"A small bottle is enough. I use it for body training."

"it is good."

……

Cohen looked at the small bottle of dragon blood in front of him and estimated that it would probably allow him to completely break through to the golden body.

It's a pity that dragon blood is something that can only be found by chance, otherwise his physical refinement would increase rapidly. He should pay attention to resources in this area in the future.

Cohen suddenly thought that Asuna herself was a dragon. If her dragon blood was strong enough, would her blood have an effect?
His thoughts soared, and he thought to himself that maybe he would also refine his body when he ate this little girl in the future. After all, blood is blood everywhere. It would be so fun if he broke through while eating her.

Cohen shook his head, suppressed his thoughts that were about to fly out of the sky, drank the dragon blood in one gulp, and the scalding heat instantly ignited his soul.

The muscles began to tremble and contract violently, as if millions of steel needles were piercing them.

Powerful strength grew in the body like a spring, and the mysterious power from dragon blood permeated and strengthened the entire body.

As time goes by, a layer of golden luster gradually appears on the surface of the skin, and with every slight touch, you can feel the powerful power contained underneath.

With a bang, a blazing golden light burst out instantly, and the golden body was created!

A voice sounded in my ears:

The Golden Body Trial begins, Refining Degree: 10%.

Cohen clenched his fists, and a fiery light suddenly burst out in his eyes. Tonight he was going to become the youngest legend in the continent!
……

After finishing a busy day of government affairs, Adele returned to her bedroom, untied her hands, and let her robe slide to the floor, revealing her plump, white, and mature body hidden under the gauze.

Then she dived into the bathtub, soaking in the warm water that Cohen had prepared for her, and her eyes swept across Cohen's big bed.

Cohen was lying on the bed looking through something, which surprised Adele a little.

Normally at this time of day, Cohen would have jumped into the bathtub and begged her to take a bath together. Why was he so obedient today?

Adele shook her head slightly, finished washing up, and walked out wearing a bathrobe.

The thin bath towel can only cover a few key parts.

Her plump thighs, still steaming with heat, revealed a healthy pink color, swaying slightly as she walked. Crystal clear water droplets that had not yet been wiped off slowly flowed down along the smooth skin at the base of her thighs, and then splashed onto the floor due to the amazing elasticity of her thighs.

The jade feet stepped on the falling water droplets, leaving a wet mark on the wood-grained floor that highlighted the exquisite curves outlined by Adele's perfect feet.

As soon as Adele got on the bed, before she could do anything, Cohen threw her down on him.

Yadel raised her eyebrows slightly and opened her red lips:

“My hands and feet are sore.

Your mouth hurts too, I can’t help you.”
