Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 70 Silver Dragon Countess, Asuna

Cohen had previously felt that the timing of Cliff Gaunt, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, appearing in Florence was too coincidental.

Why did he come to Florence a few days before the attack on the royal family, and happen to do a business with "Pale Wings" at that time?

This was such a coincidence, it was no wonder that Adele was so suspicious of him.

Now he understood that all this was probably a trap set by Andre.

Andre wanted to put the blame for the attack on the royal court on Nanjing.

This was used to force the Queen's family to break away from the South.

Cohen was certain that Andre definitely had a backup plan.

Even if the queen had not attacked Cliff at the beginning, Andre would have sent someone to assassinate Cliff.

And pretended that it was the Angrian family who took action.

By then, the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory had lost his son, and was suspected by the Queen and the Prime Minister of being the murderer who attacked the royal family.

If Andre continues to incite in the name of the Kingdom of Ceylon, the southern border will be forced to rebel even if they don't want to.

Cohen thought more deeply that Andre would not go through so much trouble simply to rebel against the Corleone royal family.

The rebellion in the south was most likely just an excuse for the Kingdom of Ceylon to send troops.

Cohen could already imagine that if there was a rebellion in the south, there would definitely be ministers in the court who would propose asking for help from the Kingdom of Ceylon.

At that time, the Kingdom of Ceylon would be able to legitimately send troops to quell the rebellion, and Andre could take the opportunity to establish a puppet regime in Effiin.

The puppet is either the queen or the "child" king, Cohen.

According to the progress of the game in the previous life, King Cohen and those loyal to the Corleone royal family are all dead, and the puppet should choose the queen.

But it probably didn't succeed, after all, Yadel later used Eifin's resources to successfully become a god.

That means Andre's plan was not completely successful.

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of the "Eastern Fox", the plan is interconnected layer by layer, making it hard to guard against.

From this perspective, I misunderstood the Prime Minister and the Queen?
Andre should be the culprit!

But why choose Effiin?
In the northwestern countries, although the political situation in Effie is unstable, there are still many powerful nobles in the country and a senate with many high-level extraordinary people.

If the sole purpose is to accumulate political capital for the third prince of the Kingdom of Ceylon and help him ascend to the throne, there are more suitable options in the Northwest Continent than Effiin.

There must be another reason!
There are too few clues to analyze it at the moment.

But now that I know who is against me behind the scenes, everything will be easy.

Let’s not talk about Xia Zuo Tang from the Eastern Territory Empire for now, that guy is too far away from him.

And after all, it is an empire that dominates an entire continent, so it is not easy to confront it openly at the moment.

The bastard Saxon from the Kingdom of Ceylon can be dealt with first.

I heard that he wanted to tease Adele back then. Now let’s settle all the old and new grudges together!
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Cohen's eyes:
Don't you want to rebel against me?
Then I will treat others in their own way.

Waiting for you to happily ascend the throne, and then pull you down from the throne!
……

After finishing his thoughts, Cohen came back to his senses and found that the three beauties were staring at him.

He immediately said seriously:
"Sorry, I was lost in thought just now."

Isabella asked curiously:
"Do you know this person?"

Cohen shook his head:
"I couldn't see his true appearance clearly, so I didn't recognize him."

Isabella looked at Cohen deeply and handed him a thick list:

"This is the wealth that was checked out by the Northwest headquarters of 'Black Tomb'. Most of it is real estate. There is very little liquid funds, and they are all listed here." Cohen quickly took the list. Even though he was mentally prepared, the wealth valuation above still surprised him.

"If you need cash, we at Pale Wings can help you."

Cohen nodded quickly and said:
"Then let's convert it all into cash. I see that many of the businesses above are not in Effiin, and I can't manage them all by myself."

"it is good."

Cohen was silent for a few seconds, then took the initiative to say:
"I have a problem here and I need your help."

"It's a dragon egg."

Cohen nodded.

There were many people present at the time, and the news that he had obtained a dragon egg could not be concealed.

Although he could change his identity and run away, after all, no one knows who is under the mask. At worst, he could just give up the identity of "Lord of Shadows".

But the monk can run away but the temple cannot. If they can't find him, those who want to get the dragon egg will definitely cause trouble for Effiin.

Isabella asked:

"What do you want us to help you with?"

Cohen whispered:

"Announce it to the public. I made a deal with you for the dragon egg. The dragon egg is no longer in my hands."

Saint Jialin on the side sneered and said:
"You've got a good plan. Now all the trouble will fall on us, the Pale Wings!"

Cohen also knew that his request was a little shameless, so he quickly said:

"Although I can't really give you the dragon egg, I can provide you with some information about it."

Saint Jialin and Isabella both became interested. Isabella frowned and asked:
"I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, won't your reckless use of prophetic powers cause any harm to yourself?

I heard that the priests of the Prophecy Church have strict rules that they can only prophesy once a month, and they cannot involve creatures stronger than themselves.

Cohen shook his head:
"This time it's not a prophetic ability, but a piece of information I got from an ancient book."

Cohen took out a pen and paper, drew a rough topographic map, and handed it to Isabella:

"I'm not sure of the exact location. Send someone to the western Grand Canyon of the Central Empire to look for it. If you can find a place that matches this topographic map, there will be a silver dragon egg there.

But you have to be careful, there should be many abandoned formations nearby, so it's best to find a few extraordinary people who are proficient in formations when you go there."

Jialin seemed skeptical, but Isabella took the map readily.

The silver dragon egg that Cohen mentioned is the contracted dragon of Asuna Iliad, the future female war goddess who will shock the continent and have unparalleled combat power, the Silver Dragon Countess.

Asuna is now just a squire knight in a noble family in the Central Empire. Her talent was not outstanding at the beginning, so she was not taken seriously.

It was not until two years later that she accidentally obtained this dragon egg during an adventure, which stimulated the dragon-taming blood in her body and enabled her to successfully take on the secret job of [Dragon Tamer Warrior].

Then, five years later, at the [International Nobles Martial Arts Festival], he shined with his silver dragon and was noticed by the Empress of the Central Empire.

Later, with the full support of the Empress, the first and only purebred dragon knight legion in the entire continent was formed.

Eventually she embarked on the road to rise, made great military achievements in the [Battle of Nations], and was named a hereditary countess.

Cohen gave this dragon egg to "Pale Wing" not to seize Asuna's opportunity.

On the contrary, he wanted to give the dragon egg in his hand to Asuna!
Instead of waiting to win over the Silver Dragon Countess, it is better to cultivate... train a Silver Dragon Countess yourself.

Let her be branded with the unique mark of Cohen Corleone from the very beginning!

Oh yes, it may not be the Silver Dragon Countess. Cohen still doesn’t know what species of dragon the dragon egg he got belongs to.

I hope it’s not some weird race, otherwise Black Dragon Countess, Green Dragon Countess, etc., sounds too weird.
