Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 305 Princess, you have become a bad person!
Andre's expression became much more serious, and he said:

"Don't forget, according to rumors, he's the Son of Prophecy of the Church of Prophecy. If something is truly predicted by him, according to his usual style, he won't be immune to getting involved."

Saxon's expression froze for a moment, and then he said with a hint of jealousy:
"Don't worry, he doesn't have time to meddle in our affairs now.

I heard he just married the princess of the Winged Elf tribe and is on a diplomatic mission to the Wind Breath Kingdom with his Winged Elf princess!"

The doubts in Andre's eyes dissipated a little. As a top student in the history department, he naturally only knew about the origins of the Wind Breath Kingdom and the Winged Elves.

It is indeed reasonable for him to use his princess's relationship to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Fengxi, the arch-enemy of the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Andre thought for a moment and said:

"We still can't be careless. We must act quickly and take down the Gavin family at the lowest cost and in the fastest time. We shouldn't give Cohen time to react and get involved."

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Andre continued to ask, "Is there anything unusual happening in the Duke's Mansion recently?"

Saxon responded:

"Everything is normal. We have spies stationed at all exits of Quesarion. As long as Gavin and his son's presence appears, we will be able to detect it immediately.

Don't worry, they can't escape."

Andre's expression eased a lot:

"Taking down Gavin and his son is only the first step. The next step is to smoothly take over the wealth and power of the entire Duke Gavin family. Once the Gavin family falls, not only us, but many other forces in the country will be eyeing this big piece of cake. We must strike first."

After saying that, without waiting for the two people opposite to express any opinions, he began to make his own arrangements.

The main purpose is to let Saxon mobilize various forces and resources in the country to encircle and monitor the Dukedom of Gavan.

This is what they have been busy with in the secret base these days. If they don't make arrangements in advance, by the time they have gone to great lengths to overthrow Duke Gavin, the fruits of victory will most likely be usurped by others.

After Andre finished the arrangement, he glanced at Greenan next to him.

The latter understood and left silently. Shortly after Greenan left, Andre lowered his voice and said calmly:

"His Royal Highness has already agreed to what you want."

Saxon's eyes lit up with excitement as he asked:

"Where is the thing?"

Andre said softly:
"It has been shipped to the territory of the Principality of Bia. Once Your Highness signs the Dragon Contract, you can pick it up."

"it is good!"

……

The scene ended, and Duke Gavin remained silent for a long time.

Cohen was secretly wondering, Saxon actually had another secret agreement with Andre? It even reached the level of signing a dragon contract.

He secretly kept this matter in mind. The Principality of Bia was a small country in the northwest continent. One of the two smuggling routes that the Dark Wing Family had handed over to Cohen passed through the Principality of Bia, and naturally there was also Cohen's military control station there.

It seems that we need to ask the people at Biya Station to investigate what Saxon and Andre are up to.

For Andre to attach so much importance to it, even to the level of signing a dragon contract, the things they want to trade must be extraordinary, either precious strategic materials or powerful magic weapons. And there is no need to think too much, these things must be used by Saxon to deal with them, Eifin.

Just as Cohen was secretly thinking about how to stab Saxon in the back, Duke Gavin's voice slowly rang out:
"Tell me, what kind of help can His Majesty Corleone provide us, and what kind of reward do we need to pay?"

Cohen smiled faintly and said:

"Offering help is too polite. I just don't want to see an old minister who has been loyal to the country being accused of treason because of the slander of a villain."

Speaking of loyalty, Cohen chuckled faintly and continued:

"Let's not discuss whether to help or not. I have a piece of intelligence from the 'Lost Land'. Duke, please take a look at it first. After you finish reading it, we can discuss other matters. Perhaps after reading this intelligence, the Duke will be able to find a solution to this crisis."

Duke Gavin looked slightly surprised as he took the information handed over by Cohen. After just a moment's reading, an extremely shocked expression appeared on his face as he looked at Cohen in disbelief.

Cohen looked calm and not surprised by Duke Gavin's expression.

It was the first time that Ifilo saw this look on his father's face. He was confused for a moment, not knowing what information Cohen had given his father.

After reading it, Duke Gavin took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his expression, and handed the information to Ifilo who was standing beside him.

Ifilok was not as calm and experienced as Duke Gavin. He opened his mouth in astonishment and blurted out:

"Your Majesty Corleone, is this intelligence true?"

Duke Gavin stared at Cohen, observing the details on his face and not missing any tiny movements.

Cohen smiled faintly:
"You can send people to the 'Land of the Lost' to verify it yourself!

The Sequence Master's students, while secretive, aren't completely invisible. Although the Five Oasis Alliance demands that the empires and kingdoms of the human continent remain refrained from interfering in the affairs of the Lost Lands, you should still have some connections within the realm.

It should be possible to find out about the Sequence Lord's past."

Duke Gavin finally spoke, and he got straight to the point:

"This person... Princess, did you discover this? Is there any relationship between you and the princess?"

Cohen spread his hands:

"I only discovered it shortly after arriving in the Lost Land. The Duke should also know that I established a small force in the Lost Land, right next to the Mysterious Continent. Therefore, I have had many dealings with the Sequence Lord. It was by chance that I learned the true identity of her student.

As for my relationship with His Highness... the Duke wouldn't think that I have the ability to place people around the Lord of the Sequence.

It seems that when the Sequence Master accepted your Highness as his student, I was still a child of seven or eight years old."

Duke Gavin showed no unusual expression on his face and said calmly:

"Your Majesty Corleone is too modest. Your Endless Alliance is no small force in the Lost Lands. The relationship between you and the Lord of Sequences must also be unusual!

One of her three golden-rank subordinates, the [Navigator], once led a giant floating warship to fight for you in Florence!

Furthermore, the fact that the Mysterious Continent and the Infinite Alliance have formed an offensive and defensive alliance is no secret."

Cohen's expression remained unchanged as he said without disguising anything:

"Yes, the Lord of Sequences and I became connected because of the Navigator. To be more precise, I cured the Navigator's hidden illness and helped her advance to Half-Step Legend. Only then did she agree to cooperate with our Endless Alliance.

As for the offensive and defensive alliance, I won't hide it from you, it's because the Sequence Master took a fancy to something in my hand. As for what it is, I can't tell you."

Duke Gavin's face showed a sense of understanding. Although Cohen didn't say it explicitly, Duke Gavin had already guessed that the so-called thing that made the dignified Sequence Lord pay so much attention to it must be an Order Spark! Perhaps it could even open up a new Order Oasis.

The reason why Cohen was able to establish the Endless Alliance was because he used the Spark of Order. It is very likely that the other party has more than one Spark in their hands. He used the Spark in exchange for the protection of the Lord of Sequence. In this way, the exchange between him and the Lord of Sequence was simply a simple exchange of interests, and the Lord of Sequence's students should have nothing to do with him.

Duke Gavin was not wrong to draw this conclusion. After all, he could not have imagined that the Lord of a small silver-level principality could actually sleep with a powerful legendary transcendent and the Lord of the Sequence of one of the five oasis-level forces in the Lost Land!

Duke Gavin put aside all his thoughts and asked calmly:

"What does His Majesty Corleone want to tell me by showing me this information?"

Cohen sneered and said:

"Duke Gavin, do you think it's better to be a traitor, or to be a loyal minister who endures humiliation and serves the enemy, and ultimately succeeds in helping the late king's bloodline restore the country?"

Duke Gavin's expression became extremely grim:

"It's been almost a hundred years since the incident. The people of the country have long been completely brainwashed by Gaius and his lineage, and history and the truth have long been buried in the dust.

How many people still remember what happened and accept a royal orphan who suddenly appeared?"

Cohen was delighted. As long as the other party didn't refuse immediately, it meant that he had begun to be attracted to her. He asked calmly:

"Then how do I know that?"

Duke Gavin narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:
"His Majesty Corleone has so many peerless beauties around him. Given their family backgrounds, it's not surprising for me to tell you this secret."

Cohen coughed lightly, his face looking a little unnatural. He used himself as an example to show that he was confident in publicizing the matter, but he didn't expect that the other party would secretly do something bad to him. He clearly felt an unfriendly gaze coming from the side. Well, forget about going to bed tonight.

Cohen put his thoughts aside and said:

"The Duke was joking. What I meant was that I could help you publicize this matter so that every citizen of Ceylon would know about that buried history."

Duke Gavin had a serious look on his face. He guessed that since Cohen brought up the orphaned princess, he must have made sufficient preparations. He was waiting for the other party's trump card.

Cohen revealed his cards as he wished, but each one shocked him beyond words:

"The Lord of the Sequence of the Lost Land, Her Excellency the Cursed Witch!
Pirate King Yann Xius and Princess Grace Tang of the Eastern Territory Empire!
A joint statement from the five major families of 'Pale Wing'!

His Majesty Monroe of the Western Region Empire!
Her Majesty, Empress Klein of the Central Empire!"

Duke Gavin had a dreamy feeling and wanted to ask, "Are you kidding me?"

Forget about the Lord of Sequences. She is the teacher of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so it is understandable that she publicized this matter. But what do One Piece and the Princess of the Eastern Empire mean?
When did you get involved with them?
Pale Wings... It's understandable that your old lover's power is helping you, but what about the Emperor of the Western Region Empire and the Empress of the Central Empire?
Ifilo, standing by, was so shocked he was speechless. Duke Gavin suppressed the surprise in his eyes and asked in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty Corleone, you are not joking."

Cohen shrugged and said:
"They were willing to issue a statement, in addition to being out of righteous indignation, of course they also had their own reasons, and I just played a role in connecting them.

I won’t explain the Lord of Sequence and Pale Wings. The reason he was able to connect with One Piece was because his fiancée, the Princess of the Eastern Region Empire, and my... ahem, good friend Miss Isabella are good friends.

Emperor Monroe is connected to Grand Duke Roland, and as for the Empress of the Central Empire... "

Cohen pointed at Windsardler beside him and said with a smile:

"My princess has another identity, Mr. Ifilo should know better."

Ifilo nodded and said:
"Her Majesty the Empress's special envoy and chief minister of the palace."

Duke Gavin nodded unconsciously. Unconsciously, such a huge force had gathered around the young king. He quickly realized something and asked in a deep voice:

"So what do they want?"

With so many people willing to support us, it's definitely not for no reason.

Cohen chuckled:
"Don't bother the Duke with what they want. I will take care of it."

Duke Gavin's expression did not improve at all, and he asked:

"So, Majesty Corleone, what do you want?"

Cohen's answer surprised Duke Gavin:

"When you come to power, just agree to form an alliance with us, Effiin."

Duke Gavin frowned, Cohen's conditions were too simple for him to believe.

Cohen continued:

"To put it bluntly, your overthrow of the current Ceylon royal family is the greatest reward for me. That Saxon dared to covet my queen and even attacked Effiin. Florence let him escape, and now I will destroy his country and family, and reduce him from a prince to a prisoner.

You can totally regard my help to you as an act of revenge!"

Duke Gavin's brows relaxed a little. To avenge his queen, His Majesty Corleone did seem like someone who would do such a thing.

Rebellion?
If so many major forces stand behind it, rebellion is not impossible. There are now two paths before Duke Gavin.

One is to admit the charges that Saxon and Andrew fabricated for him, give up everything in the Kingdom of Ceylon, and take his family members to the Kingdom of Windbreak.

The second way is to follow Cohen's advice, go to the "Lost Land" to pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess, and raise the banner of upholding the orthodox royal family. Once successful, the Gavin family will become the new founding heroes.

Duke Gavin fell into intense thought. Cohen also knew that this matter concerned the life and death of a family. Duke Gavin would not make a decision so easily, so he did not force the other party and said lightly:
"Duke, please consider this carefully. Once you have made a decision, please have Young Master Ifilo inform me. But the sooner the better. Saxon and the others won't keep you here for too long!"

After saying this, without waiting for Duke Gavin to speak, he took Windsardler out of the room.

After Cohen and the other two left, Ifilo couldn't help but say:
"Father, he's forcing us to rebel! Once Ceylon falls into civil strife, they, Effiin, including the Wind Breath Kingdom, will definitely intervene!"

Duke Gavin looked solemn and silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:
"Of course I know what he's planning, but if we don't do this, do we have to move our entire family to the Wind Breath Kingdom?

Bear the stigma of treason for generations?"

Ifilo looked like he was struggling and said:
"Father, we can't succeed in the rebellion just by ourselves."

Duke Gavin said coldly:

"Time is running out. We must act now. No matter what, Quesaon can't stay here any longer."

As he spoke, Duke Gavin took out an ancient magic scroll from his arms, handed it to Ifilo, and said in a deep voice:

"You must leave tonight. After returning to your clan, immediately mobilize the territory's forces and enter a full state of war readiness."

"Father, what about you?"

Duke Gavin said in a deep voice:

"I can't leave yet. Listen carefully. After returning to the territory, go with your second uncle to find Duke Eisenheil and tell him about the general situation we are facing. But you must remember one thing: the one who attacked us was not the Third Prince Saxon, but Gaius Cromwell!
Understand? "

Ifilo felt like crying. He took a deep breath and suppressed all the soft emotions. He knew that at this moment he could no longer be an idle noble young master who only ate, drank and had fun like before. As the heir of the Gavin family, he had to take the responsibility of the entire family!
Ifilo nodded heavily, without saying anything more, took the scroll, and tore it open in front of Duke Gavin. Then he pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the scroll.

The parchment scroll suddenly exploded into thousands of points of light in his palm. The fragments of ancient runes engraved on the scroll floated in the air, and then transformed into an extremely strange mirror, reflecting Ifilo's slightly pale face.

The bronze carved frame was oozing with dark red rust, and an eerie crisp sound like a glacier breaking came from the mirror surface. Suddenly, Ifilo's reflection suddenly became strangely still, while the real Ifilo was clearly still breathing slightly.

The two were not surprised at all. Then, the outline of the figure in the mirror began to knock on the mirror strangely. As time passed, the mirror suddenly shattered, and another Ifilo stepped out of the mirror.

At the same time, the aura on Ifilo's body began to drop rapidly until it disappeared completely, and the clone that stepped out of the mirror regained Ifilo's aura.

The being that looked exactly like Ifilo smiled a completely replicated smile, but the way the muscles at the corners of his mouth moved was clearly like a puppet being pulled by transparent silk strings.

Everything seems so weird and bizarre.

Ifilo took a last deep look at his father, left the clone behind, and returned to Duke Gavin's territory overnight.

Duke Gavin took out a communication stone and contacted his trusted subordinates, asking them to rush to the "Lost Land" to investigate all the information about Her Royal Highness the Princess!
……

In the room, Cohen was chatting on the phone with Isabella who was far away in the Western Region Empire.

"Really? The elves didn't give you any trouble and were so generous as to let you marry their future elven queen?

This is totally different from the proud, conservative, and traditional long-eared race I imagined!"

There was obvious jealousy in Isabella's words.

Windsardler had just finished taking a shower and came out in a bathrobe when he heard Isabella's complaints. His face turned cold and he became furious.

Cohen winked, made a gesture, and replied:
"Isa, it's not as bad as you say. I think the people of Windsor are quite reasonable."

Isabella said sourly:

"I heard she's moved into your bedroom. I haven't even received such treatment. You're such a heartless person, you just send me running around like this."

Cohen's heart softened, and he said in a gentle voice:

"It's my fault, Isa, you...hiss..."

Cohen widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at Windsardler who slowly knelt in front of him, a look of horror on his face.

There was a cunning flash in Windsardler's eyes, a blush on her cheeks, she reached out to tuck her drooping hair behind her ears, and leaned down slightly.

Isabella asked doubtfully:

"what happened?"

Cohen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart and the groan in his throat, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Nothing, maybe there's something wrong with the magic power... Isa, when will the talks be over?"

Isabella responded:
"Almost there. Just a few more details to complete the negotiations. When the time comes, do you think I should go back to Effiin first or go straight to the dwarves?"

Cohen looked at Windsardelle with trembling eyes. The elf lady's red lips had become colorful and her eyes were seductive and blurred. She looked at Cohen provocatively.

It was just that the uncomfortable throat showed that Windsordler, who had the audacity to try new moves without Cohen's guidance, was not as relaxed as he appeared.

"...Of course I'll go back to Aifeiyin first. You've been out for so long, come back and have a good rest. I'll also make time to go back in a few days. I've missed you so much after not seeing you for so long... cough cough cough..."

Isabella replied:

"Kehen, why do I feel that your tone is a little different? What are you doing now?"

Cohen put his hand on Windsardler's smooth forehead to stop her from going any further. Windsardler glared at Cohen angrily and bit his finger.

Cohen's tone quickly returned to normal, and he said with a smile:

"Nothing, I just finished training and my breathing is a little rough. Anyway, Isa, please come back as soon as you finish dealing with the affairs of the Western Region Empire. I miss you so much that I can't sleep at night."

Isabella had a charming smile on her face:
"Are you thinking about me, or do you want to sleep with me?

Didn't Adair and Windsardler together feed you?"

Cohen laughed dryly and replied:

"I want both, there is no conflict."

Windsordler opened his mouth, licked the teeth marks left behind with some heartache, and climbed up to find some water to drink.

The awkward movements just now, due to the lack of guidance from experienced people, made her throat feel a little uncomfortable.

However, before she could take a few steps, a huge force suddenly came from behind her. Cohen had already ended his call with Isabella and was finally able to free his hands to deal with this naughty elf!
