Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 4 Pale Wings
The capital of the Principality of Effiin is called Florence, a city that never sleeps.

The city sparkles at night, and the colorful magic lights drive away all the darkness, like a rose ruby in the desert.

Cohen walked on the streets of Florence, stroking his chest. The "Heart of Eternity" turned, and a top-grade magic diamond appeared in his hand.

This was knocked off by Cohen from the staff given to him by the queen, and it was also his ticket to enter the "Pale Wings".

Cohen changed into a mercenary outfit, put on a mask, and walked towards a store selling magic scrolls.

The shop owner is a wealthy middle-aged businessman. Seeing a customer coming in, he smiled:

"Sir, what kind of scroll do you need? All of our scrolls are handmade by students from the Royal School of Magic. We guarantee quality and quantity, and we're honest and trustworthy..."

Cohen waved his hand to interrupt the other party's introduction, stretched out his index finger and drew a white mark on the wall beside him, and then said word by word:

"Beauty at its extreme becomes pale."

The businessman was startled and his eyes widened with a look of surprise and doubt.

Cohen smiled faintly, showing off a top-grade magic diamond, and said to the merchant's fiery gaze:
"Tell Mr. Modo that big business is coming!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party's expression suddenly froze, and a trace of surprise and doubt appeared on his face!
……

Pale Wings is the largest and most powerful chamber of commerce organization in the Demonic Continent.

Anything can be traded here. As long as you can afford the price, even the most powerful demigods can be used by you!
Because behind the "Pale Wings" stands a true god - the god of contract and fairness, Cavendish Libra.

The basement was dark and empty, with only a cheap kerosene lamp hanging from the ceiling.

There was a glass of water in front of Cohen, and sitting opposite him was a gentle and fair-skinned middle-aged man. He had never taken his eyes off Cohen since he came in. Sitting next to him was the boss from before, who was also staring at Cohen with ill intentions.

The atmosphere was oppressive and tight, and Cohen suddenly chuckled:
"Mr. Modo, how's the appraisal going?"

The gentleman came back to his senses and said slowly:
"Of course the stuff is fine, but I'm much more interested in you than that top-grade magic diamond. I'm curious, who are you? It's ok that you know about our Pale Wing's dark spot, but you even know I'm here."

Modo was thinking rapidly. He had only been in Florence secretly for three days, and it was all top secret inside the "Pale Wings". It was unbelievable to him that this kid who came out of nowhere could reveal the secret.

Cohen shrugged lightly and said:

"According to the rules of your Pale Wings, anything can be traded as long as the price is right. I can tell you my identity, but are you sure you can afford the price?"

Modo raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"How many?"

Cohen said, "How about the crown of the Principality of Effiin?"

Modo suddenly laughed and said:
"It seems you are here to draw Effiin's attention. I advise you that the waters of Florence are deep, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."

Cohen remained silent and said:

"I heard that the royal court was attacked a few days ago. Were you responsible for this?"

Modo's eyes flickered. He was even aware of this top-secret information. He couldn't help but become more curious about Cohen's identity. He said:
"Name your price and I'll tell you."

Cohen said slowly:
"Is that magic crystal enough?"

Modo smiled and said:
"That's enough. The answer is no. Pale Wing did not receive this commission."

Cohen nodded slightly, and took out eight more top-grade magic diamonds, saying:

"You can take them for appraisal. I want to trade all eight of them."

Modo's eyes flickered as he asked, "Which empire are you from? You have so many top-grade magic diamonds, all of which are ice-attributed. Could it be the Northern Territory Empire?"

Cohen did not respond and said:

"Mr. Modo, please don't break the rules of the Pale Wings. I have a good impression of your organization."

Modo's expression froze, he put away the magic diamond and said:

"All paid in cash?"

Cohen shook his head and said:

"No, just buy 3,000 slaves directly, and use the remaining money to regularly provide enough food for the other 3,000 slaves."

Modo sighed and said:
"Brother, you're going to do it yourself, you've got guts!"

Cohen smiled faintly and said:
"If Mr. Modo is interested, you can invest in the company. I'll make you a prince after the success."

Modo laughed loudly and said:
“Young people are confident.”

Cohen remained indifferent to Modo's ridicule and continued:

"I want three thousand slaves all from the Orc tribe, preferably from the Bear or Tiger tribe. How many days will it take?"

Modo's face froze, and he said in astonishment:
"Three thousand orcs? Don't tell me you want to form an army out of orcs?"

The so-called half-orcs refer to humans with obvious orc characteristics. They are the offspring born from the mating of orcs and humans.

Orcs can activate the orc blood in their bodies and are much stronger than ordinary human warriors.

But the orcs had a fatal flaw: their brains were not very effective. They could not understand orders, could not be trained, and could not be commanded on the battlefield.

A classic joke circulating on the mainland: One orc is a brave warrior, ten orcs are qualified guards, and a hundred orcs are a hundred pigs, the kind that no one can control.

It’s not that no one has forced the orcs to be trained as an army, but the result is that once they enter the battlefield, they become headless flies. They attack all friendly and enemy forces, and they don’t listen to orders at all... or rather, they don’t understand orders.

Modo suspected that the other party was the second generation of an empire or kingdom, with no war experience or common sense at all, yet he actually tried to form an army with orcs.

Or was this their original plan? Unleashing three thousand orcs to wreak havoc in Florence? But that was pointless. What everyone wanted was an Effiin of chaos and division where they could profit, not one of ruins and war.

Besides, three thousand unorganized orcs cannot cause any substantial impact.

Mr. Modo really couldn't understand the other party's train of thought.

Cohen smiled but said nothing.

The problem of the orcs being unable to understand commands was perfectly solved three years later with the excavation of the ruins of the Arcane Empire.

"The Seal of Concentricity" is the crystallization of wisdom from the Arcane Empire thousands of years ago.

As long as you engrave the "Mark of Unity" on every Orc and find a general with outstanding command ability, you can train an invincible and unstoppable Orc army!
Arnold, the god of war who would become famous on the continent in the future, became famous thanks to the Orc Legion - even the most elite Royal Guards of the Central Empire could not withstand the charge of the Orc Legion!

According to the game progress in his previous life, Arnold is still an insignificant adventurer. Soon during an adventure, he will accidentally discover the ruins of the Arcane Empire and find the "Concentric Seal". Then, he will rely on the "Concentric Seal" to start his career as a military god.

After the production method of the "Concentric Curse" was made public, Orc slaves immediately became the hottest commodities on the continent.

Unlike barbarians, orcs, and elves, who all had their own deities, orcs lacked their own deities. Simply put, they had no one to protect them, allowing slave-hunting teams to prey on them with impunity. Orcs immediately became the preferred military unit of all nations, and their value soared. Later, even the five great empires jointly issued a ban on the trade of more than one hundred orc slaves.

But with Cohen in this life, everything will be different!
"The Concentric Seal" and the Orc Legion, this is the first pot of gold that Cohen is going to dig!
