Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 92 The Empress's Special Envoy with Personality
In a large open space outside the big tent, representatives from various adventure groups walked into the tent confidently, and then came out with their heads hung.

The situation was obvious. The morning was almost over, and no adventure team had passed the selection yet.

Cohen's "Infinity Blade" adventure team had not submitted a registration form before, but submitted it at the last minute after arriving at the site, so they were ranked last.

The "Canglan Brave Group" who were traveling with them also entered early, but unfortunately, they were unable to pass.

Cohen is currently asking Captain Mog about the content of the test.

After listening to the other party's description, a flash of understanding came into my mind and I felt more confident.

As he was speaking, a woman's angry voice sounded not far away:

"Boozer! How dare you show up here!"

The face of Captain Mog on the opposite side changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"It's Margaret's voice."

Cohen frowned slightly and rushed to the scene of the incident with Captain Mog.

When I got there, I saw that besides Margaret, Arnold was also there.

Opposite the two men was a pale, thin man with malicious eyes.

This should be the Boozer that Margaret just mentioned.

Boozer's voice was thin and high-pitched:

"Margaret, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and still follow this big fool!"

Margaret said angrily:

"You traitor! If you hadn't leaked Freya's information to please that bastard baron, the adventure group wouldn't be in trouble!

You are an ungrateful bastard. Have you forgotten who saved you from the monster's mouth?"

Boozer said frivolously:

"Clean your mouth, Margaret, you are insulting a noble!"

Margaret became even angrier and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Arnold.

He saw the clothes on Boozer. He didn't know what kind of luck this ungrateful bastard had to climb into the high branch of the Gavin family.

He was wearing the clothes of the Gavin family.

Although he was only the lowest-ranking servant, being a servant in a ducal family meant he was superior to others.

What's more, Buzer was in charge of guiding the adventure group into the big tent, and the registration form he had just submitted was now in his hands.

He knew Cohen had chosen to come here with an important plan.

This wasn't Effiin, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Cohen.

But sometimes, even if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble always comes to you.

It turns out that Buzer was also a member of Arnold's adventure group.

He has always coveted Margaret, but Margaret's heart is entirely devoted to Arnold and she ignores his earnest pursuit.

This made Buzzer turn love into hate after learning that Arnold's daughter had awakened her warlock talent.

With malicious intentions, he told the news to a local baron, and they joined forces to destroy Arnold's adventuring group.

He also took the opportunity to cling to the Baron's thigh. After spending almost half of his family fortune, he finally used his connections to get him a position in the Gavin family.

He was originally regretting that Arnold had run away without a word and that he could not take revenge on him.

I didn’t expect that God would have a vision and we would meet here today.

Boozer looked at the Adventure Group badge on Arnold with a proud look and laughed loudly:

"Infinity Blade? What the hell is that?

Which brainless middle school boy came up with this name?
Arnold, you are really getting older and older!"

Boozer flipped through the registration forms on the side and found the one for "Infinity Blade". He looked at the information on it and couldn't help laughing.

The mocking voices were extremely harsh among the crowd of onlookers:
"A third-level brat is your leader, Arnold. Why don't you hand over your daughter? I'll ask the Baron to form another adventuring group for you!"

The undisguised mocking laughter made Arnold clench his fists.

Boozer's voice continued:

"With this level of skill, you're still trying to follow others and join the recruitment?
Don't go in and offend the special envoy.

I think you should just go back to where you came from!"

As he said that, he threw the registration form on the ground.

At this moment, a cold voice pierced the scene:
"Arnold, we're called 'Infinity Blade', not 'Infinity Turtle'!
Someone provoked you and you didn't fight back?
Give him a good beating!"

Cohen looked at the arrogant Boozer indifferently and signaled Asuna beside him not to take action.

He had just heard a general idea and knew about the grudges between them.

Some things Arnold had to deal with on his own.

With the order, Arnold no longer hesitated.

For a good soldier, all you have to do is obey orders.

Whatever the Gavin family or the powerful duke, as long as Cohen gives the order, he dares not care about anything!

Fear suddenly appeared in Boozer's eyes. He looked at Arnold who was rushing towards him, and his voice became distorted with fear:
"You...what are you doing? I'm Duke Gavin's man. Are you trying to kill yourself?"

There was a bang.

Arnold didn't even use the curse seal, and knocked Boozer to the ground with one punch.

Then, as if venting his anger, he beat Boozer until he collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, without any of the domineering momentum he had just had.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

Seeing their men being beaten, the guards of the Gavin family immediately surrounded Arnold:
"Stop, stop!"

Seeing the other party coming, Arnold didn't bother to argue too much. He kicked Boozer hard in the vitals and returned to Cohen.

Boozer let out a shrill scream, and the already sharp sound seemed even more piercing.

He looked at an older guard with tears in his eyes and recounted what had just happened, adding more details to the story.

This was the way he paid money to get in.

After hearing this, the older guard walked up to Cohen and the others and said angrily:
"Who among you is the leader of Infinity Blade?

You dare to beat up someone from our Gavin family? Don’t you want to live?

Come, let them see the majesty of the Gavin family! "

Cohen ignored him and signaled to Asuna beside him.

Asuna couldn't help herself any longer, and a red light flashed in her hand.

A fast red shadow flew out in an instant and swung towards the guards who were surrounding them.

He knocked everyone to the ground.

The elder guard was also given special attention. His jaw was completely dislocated and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Asshole, someone, someone, give it to me..."

Cohen chuckled lightly, his magical power surging, and he shouted towards the large tent in front:
"I can break your elves' 'Five Elements Prison Technique'!"

As soon as Cohen finished speaking, a clear and pleasant voice came from the tent:

"Interesting, come in and try it."

As this voice was uttered, the whole audience suddenly became quiet.

Most of the people present had been inside the tent and knew that the heavenly voice came from the Empress's special envoy.

Even the guards didn't dare to move.

After a while, a noble young master with a gloomy face appeared in front of everyone.

It was Duke Gavin’s eldest son, Ifir O Gavin.

Ifilo came to Cohen and asked in a deep voice:
"The leader of the Infinity Blade adventure group?"

Cohen nodded.

Ifilo looked at Cohen's attire and felt a strange look in his heart. Ever since the "Shadow Lord" became famous, his imitators have increased in number.

Nowadays, similar outfits are almost everywhere on the streets.

Someone behind Ifilo picked up the registration form that Boozer had just thrown on the ground and handed it over.

Boozer on the side looked desperate.

He didn't expect that this strange leader could actually alarm Ifilo to come in person.

Throwing away the registration form can be a big deal or a small deal.

After all, no one would say anything if a third-rank captain was not allowed to participate in the recruitment selection.

But now that this third-level adventure group has caught Ifilo's eye, things are different.

If this gets taken too far, the position he has spent most of his life pursuing will be gone!
Even his reputation was ruined later, and he was a servant expelled from the Gavin family.

Who dares to use it?

Boozer was filled with regret.

Ifilo looked at the registration form. Level three?
He felt a throbbing sensation on his forehead.

Looking further down, there is a Mechanic among the team members!

Perhaps this is the source of his confidence.

Ifilo said in a deep voice:
"Where's your artificer? Bring him along with you."

When Cohen entered the tent, the elf lady was feasting on various delicacies.

Cohen looked up and saw that face and demeanor made a name come to mind.

Windsardler Windrunner!
This elf lady has a very close personal relationship with Her Majesty the Empress of the Central Empire, Senis Cline, and even helped Her Majesty ascend the throne successfully.

It is inseparable from the support of the Winged Elf Royal Family behind Windsardler.

I didn't expect that the Empress's special envoy would be her!
At the same time, he was secretly worried because this woman was notoriously unreliable.

When she gets angry, she even dares to cheat Empress Shannis, so you must be cautious when dealing with her.

Windsardler pursed her red lips elegantly, raised her head and looked at Cohen and the others, her gaze lingering on Freya for a moment.

Artificer?

It's a pity that the level is too low, otherwise it would be quite suitable.

Then she focused her attention on Cohen.

He has a legendary magic item on his face, so he must be from a prominent family.

This outfit is somewhat similar to that of the "Lord of Shadows".

Is he an imitator or is he indeed the "Shadow Lord" himself?
Either way, it's interesting.

Windsardler raised her red lips slightly and asked:
"How can you tell what kind of magic I use just by listening to others' description without seeing it with your own eyes?"

Cohen said slowly:

"I happen to have research on the ancient elves. The envoy must have used a magic trap unique to the elven royal family, called the 'Five Elements Prison Technique.'"

It was born out of the ancient elves' "Elemental Deprivation Spell."

Windsordler raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself:

Possessing an understanding and insight into ancient secrets beyond ordinary people, is he the "secret keeper" walking outside the "Cobalt Soul Academy"?

Windsardler suppressed his thoughts and spoke:
"If you are ready, then prepare to start breaking the formation."

Cohen gestured, pointing at Freya who had just broken through to the extraordinary realm, and said:
"She was the one who broke the formation, not me."

There was a hint of amusement in Windsardler's eyes:
“Are you sure? The girl next to you must have just awakened her warlock talent. I’m afraid she hasn’t even learned the bloodline magic yet.

Are you sure you want her to break the formation?"

Freya next to her was also surprised and stammered:
"Sir, I have been studying basic theories with Sister Nephthys these days.

Haven't even begun to learn to use my warlock abilities yet."

Cohen smiled and shook his head:
"No, just do as I tell you."

Cohen whispered a few words into Freya's ear, and the latter's expression gradually became more confident.

After saying that, Cohen took a few steps away and signaled Windsardler that he could start casting the spell.

Just like before, Windsardler drew a graceful trajectory in the air with his arm, and a transparent cage appeared next to Freya.

There are five runes arranged in sequence in the center of the cage.

There are five colors: red, orange, yellow, green and cyan; and five shapes: square, circle, diamond, triangle and five-star.

The colors and shapes are combined in a random pattern and keep changing, which is dazzling to the eyes.

Freya took out the staff that Cohen had given her before they set out, and stared at the five constantly changing runes with a firm look in her eyes.

When a red five-star rune appeared, he instantly waved his staff and muttered something.

A brilliant light shot out from the tip of the staff and hit the red five-star rune.

In an instant, the five changing runes stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the red five-star rune began to flicker, twist, and finally turned into fragments.

A buzzing sound.

The magic fluctuations of the transparent cage suddenly dropped a lot, and the remaining four runes began to work again.

Windsardler suddenly stood up from his seat and looked deeply at Cohen not far away.

Freya's face lit up with joy as she continued to stare at the remaining four runes. When the green diamond rune appeared, she waved her staff again.

Just like before, another rune was cracked.

A few minutes passed, and when the last rune was cracked, the entire tent fell silent.

A magic circle that blocked almost the entire adventuring group in the northwest region was broken so easily by a young girl who had just awakened her warlock talent!

If there hadn't been a flicker of surprise on Windsardler's face, they would have really thought that the Empress's envoy was deliberately letting him win!

Ifilo looked at Cohen with shining eyes, as if he had discovered a treasure.

Windsordler was in turmoil.

This "Five Elements Prison Spell" is one of the required spells for the elven royal family.

The orthodox way to crack it should be to master the operating rules of these five runes through powerful wisdom and computing ability.

Break the formation by interfering with the rules.

Even Windsardler had never heard of someone like Freya removing runes one by one.

If everyone mastered this method, wouldn't this exclusive spell of the elves become completely useless?

Cohen seemed to see Windsardler's worry and said:
"This method also requires the use of an ancient elven spell. Your Excellency, the Special Envoy, need not worry."

Windsardler regained his composure and said slowly:

"Okay, you've passed.

Mr. Gavin, there's no need to try for the rest of the adventure group, this is it.

Besides, I have something to discuss with the group leader."

Ifilo nodded immediately and said:
"Okay, Your Excellency, I will go and arrange the departure now. We will leave tonight."

The reason for choosing night is that the nightmare fog of "Star Falling Valley" is the weakest at night.

Ifilo led his men out, leaving space for Windsardler and Cohen.

Windsardelle raised her beautiful eyes, her gaze fell on Cohen, and waved at him:

"Come here and talk to this special envoy."

Cohen's face darkened. "Sister, are we very familiar with each other?"
He couldn't help but have a little understanding of Windsordale's eccentricity.
