Eve immediately told all the information she had investigated, including but not limited to "Afaline and his wife embezzled family property" and "Lanwei secretly helped his son Cornice contact the Dead Sea nobles".
Asking Evelyn to be Chu Yan's close servant was a punishment for embezzlement, but it also had Losta's selfish motive - with Evelyn's A-level status, the family would at most give her a few words of reprimand for embezzlement, and would not really punish her severely.
"As for why your son frequently goes to Paradise City, I'll have to ask Mr. Chu Yan to explain."
Eve handed the conversation to Chu Yan, who was a little confused about the current situation but still chose to answer it.
He removed the gag from the married magician's mouth and told him everything that Cornice had done.
Because he needed special women to satisfy his sense of conquering monsters, Cornice came to the Dead Sea border regularly.
Because he wanted to help the Dead Sea nobles, Cornice died here.
He brought his butler and guards to launch a surprise attack and siege, but was counterattacked and killed.
"...What I know comes from an accident during the blood moon. You don't have to refute it because you don't have to believe it."
Chu Yan said, then remembered what he had missed and added:
"By the way, your husband must die because he destroyed this small town and tried to kill the civilians here to silence them. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Just wait to be a widow!"
The anger in her heart made Evelyn's blue eyes bloodshot, but this anger was not entirely directed at Losta and Chu Yan.
She knew that the truth was almost the same as what Chu Yan said.
She once had doubts about her son's situation, but she did not delve into it because of her doting and indulgence. Every time she was about to ask, her husband Lan Wei helped Conniche to brush it off.
This time, Lan Wei came out to avenge his son. Apparently, he knew that the murderer was at the border of the Dead Sea, and the news about the Crystal Forest was fake!
Lan Wei wanted to destroy the body and not let her know that Cornice had indulged himself here, thus escaping his inner cowardice.
Chu Yan looked at Evelyn with eyes flashing and anger surging. He ignored her and said to Eve:
"Hello, why don't you take Aunt Ai Falin back to your Black Ice Dragonborn? I dare not accept her as a servant. My current strength cannot suppress her. This woman can kill me at any time."
Well, Chu Yan really has to thank Lan Wei.
If he hadn't sent his wife away, the strength here might not be enough to deal with the two of them.
Now, the ones who have direct hatred with the Dead Sea border are Connice and Lanwei, but Evelyn did nothing. She came for her own flesh and blood.
Even though she was on the opposite side of Chu Yan, Chu Yan still didn't want to provoke Evelyn if the Black Ice Dragonborn could imprison her on his own.
"Don't worry about your safety. The master has already imposed a slave contract on Ai Falin. You just need to put in your magical fluid to complete the recognition of the master."
Eve was prepared for this question. After she finished speaking, her slender fingers deftly unbuttoned several buttons of Evelyn's clothes.
The mature and plump snow-white charm comes into view in an instant, and the round and full outline enters the nose.
A magic mark appeared somewhere on Evelyn's skin. Because it had not been activated yet, the mark was dim in color.
Chu Yan was so stunned that his mind was in a mess, and he suspected that it was a honey trap.
Why has the internal strife among the Black Ice Dragonborn reached this point?
"Can I refuse? Can you take her back by yourselves?"
Eve nodded, like an emotionless robot:
“Okay, but after I bring her back, if Madam Afaline plans to continue her revenge in the future, my master will not care.
Either you keep her as a slave for now, or face her revenge later."
The corners of Chu Yan's mouth twitched. This was the strangest request he had ever heard. How could such a outsider like him get such a good deal?
"Then I choose to kill Madam Afaline right away while she has no power to fight back. Is this okay?"
Eve shook her head: "No, the master does not want Madam Evelyn to die. This is the position of the same clan."
This means that if Chu Yan wants to launch a sneak attack and kill someone, Eve will definitely stop him.
Chu Yan seemed to have a choice, but in fact he did not. Moreover, being able to utilize Evelyn's power made up for the lack of power in Paradise City on a normal day - the power of the taboo masters was too limited.
Especially since the suppression array was being stolen by the church's corrupt officials, they had to be more cautious when using their power.
If I had the power of Evelyn
78
, and our chances of winning against the church will be greater!
"Am I really going to do it?" Chu Yan made the final confirmation with suspicion.
"Please." Eve made a welcoming gesture expressionlessly.
Evelyn's entire body had been paralyzed and sealed, and she couldn't spare a single bit of strength.
When the power of the Red Devil Dragonborn broke into the depths of her consciousness, Evelyn's delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes widened, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
She couldn't believe it, but she had to accept the fact.
Chu Yan walked cautiously throughout the whole process. When he discovered a sharp contradiction, he realized that there was indeed fraud in his mind, and a bloody disaster was imminent!
"She...has given birth to a child before, so how come she is still a virgin?" Chu Yan looked at Eve blankly.
Eve was waiting beside him, and said expressionlessly:
"The Black Ice Dragonborn are not very interested in reproduction. At that time, Madam Afarin was competing with Master Losta for strength, and she was in no mood to waste more than a year preparing for offspring, so she used some magical techniques."
Chu Yan had indeed heard of the methods of "substitution 0" and "cell dragon heirs". The dragon descendants had thought of many ways to reproduce, but "substitution 0" would cause a significant dilution of the dragon blood.
Therefore, it is basically regarded as a method that is "feasible but anyone who uses it will be a fool".
If they can't even preserve the superiority of the Dragonborn bloodline, it would be better to adopt a child from another tribe as one of their own.
Cornice was able to maintain the concentration of his blood and was recognized by the Black Ice Dragonborn. He should be considered lucky and an extremely rare case.
"Because the Dragonborn are so powerful, the restraining effect of the slave mark will weaken within a month, and Madam Afaline is close to S-level. Mr. Chu Yan, please be conservative and maintain the strength of the mark every half a month."
Eve continued to explain, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Chu Yan's forehead.
"I mean, if, with such frequent maintenance, Ms. Afaline accidentally wins the prize...what should we do then?"
"The child belongs to the Black Ice Dragonborn and cannot be given to your current family!" Eve said sternly without leaving any room for negotiation.
"..."
This was obviously not what Chu Yan wanted to ask, but there seemed no need to press further.
While Chu Yan was still busy, Eve conveyed her master's intentions:
"This contract magic will automatically become invalid after one year. Mr. Chu Yan, please practice hard and make progress diligently. Don't slack off and acquire the ability to protect yourself as soon as possible.
Otherwise, in one year, Lady Afaryn will be free, and her revenge will not be constrained by my master."
“?!” Chu Yan was terrified.
I knew it was a honey trap!
*
The space fluctuation came again, and Chu Yan appeared from the space crack with Evelyn.
Strangely, Evelyn was not tied up in any way, but her expensive dress was dishevelled and soaked with sweat, and she looked a little distraught.
She stared at Chu Yan fiercely, but was unable to use any strength.
Lan Wei had been imprisoned during this period. When he saw his wife appear safe and sound, he felt as if he had been redeemed and was overjoyed.
"Aifalin, hurry up and kill these people! They killed our own children!"
The blonde beauty turned her gaze to her husband, her mental state was a little hysterical, and she sneered inexplicably.
"waste!"
A huge pitch-black dragon claw emerged, its sharp nails like ice crystals.
Feeling the powerful oppressive force of the Dragonborn's innate magic, Nancy felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.
But the dragon claw was only aimed at Lan Wei, and smashed his body with one claw.
An A-level male magician turned into a bloody mess in the blink of an eye, turning into a pile of ketchup.
Until his death, Lan Wei never understood why his wife wanted to kill him.
Author's words: The update is late, these two chapters are put together, the viewing experience is better
Chapter 46: The Second Reconstruction of Paradise City
Paradise City temporarily returned to peace.
The time bomb planted by Cornice's death completely exploded, ending with the death of Lan Wei, an A-level magician.
The outer city of Paradise City and a considerable part of the inner city were affected and turned into ruins that were beyond repair.
It seems that all we can do is rebuild.
But this time the reconstruction should be much easier.
Thanks to the introduction of the Black Ice Dragonborn and with the assistance of Eve, the wealth that the Dead Sea nobles had originally stored there was transferred to Chu Yan's account.
Chu Yan had long gotten rid of vulgar interests and had no interest in money. The happiest thing in his life was when his guardian occasionally gave him some pocket money.
So, he used all the money for reconstruction.
Moreover, with a "slave" like Evelyn by his side, Chu Yan can use her connections to invite many workers, craftsmen, and scholars to help with the reconstruction of Paradise City and the reinforcement of its defenses.
How to say it, if Evelyn didn't exist, Chu Yan would never have been able to get these people. This is not something that can be solved with money.
In this world, craftsmen with special skills and scholars with profound knowledge must be attached to the circle of certain powerful figures. They are not short of money.
Without Weilin as his direct protector, he could no longer command the craftsmen in the Longyan family.
79
The old guys who were brought to the Dead Sea border by Lian will definitely try to stop us.
From this perspective, the Black Ice Dragonborn sent him a big airdrop? !
Even if Ms. Losta wanted to eliminate dissidents, it would be too much of a waste of money to let a Red Devil Dragonborn like him benefit from it.
But as a dragonborn, he could vaguely understand Losta's dilemma. It would be a pity to kill a powerful dragonborn like Elfalin, which would directly cause the overall strength of the Black Ice Dragonborn to decline significantly.
Therefore, from the perspective of the high-ranking Black Ice Dragonborn, no matter how much Losta hates Afaline, she cannot kill her immediately. She also does not intend to stand against the entire dragon race unless Afaline has touched her bottom line.
"This is obviously taking advantage of your family. They're trying to draw hatred from you, but they don't want you to kill Afarin, and they're also trying to make Losta lose an enemy. What a cruel scheme!"
Janet thought about the captive Evelyn from a businessman's perspective.
Compared to Elfalin, the powerful dragon-born magician, she was more afraid of Losta.
"Why not just kill her? She is the last hidden danger that has not been resolved after the Cornice incident."
Shanoya was extremely alert and felt really uneasy.
Although this noblewoman magician who became a prisoner did not cause direct damage to the Dead Sea border, if she really causes trouble in the future, the problem will be much more serious than that caused by Lan Wei.
"Then can you defeat her now? The magic contract between her and me does not include the power to dispose of her life, so if Ai Falin's life is threatened, she can fight back."
Chu Yan asked back helplessly.
Even though Evelyn was restricted by the contract, she could not act arbitrarily. It was difficult for her to use magic to kill civilians in seconds. But if she really took action, it would be like releasing the seal.
"It's not impossible to compete with A-level, but the cost will be a bit higher."
Janet doesn't like to be outdone in terms of momentum. Now Evelyn is the slave.
Moreover, in the eyes of the Dead Sea Taboo Keepers, Grade A is indeed not an invincible enemy.
"Hey~"
Nancy, who had been silent all this time, sighed. She had followed Weilin for many years and knew clearly about the potential mother-son relationship between Losta and Chu Yan, so she was not very wary of Evelyn.
This woman was most likely designed by Losta to be a "bodyguard" sent to Chu Yan to help him guard against some malicious people in the Long Yan family. She could also use Evelyn's sense of crisis to force Chu Yan to strengthen himself.
It really fits Losta's personality. She is the one who can't stand Weilin indulging Chu Yan in slacking off.
At the moment, Nancy still found it a little funny to see the tabooists acting like frightened birds and being wary of Evelyn's various speculations.
But Nancy wants to understand, there are many kinds of slave contracts, which one did Losta use on Evelyn...?
"It's time to rest, Janet. You haven't rested today."
The unpredictable female officer came again. She knocked on the door and came in, dutifully performing her duties as a "sleep alarm clock". Now she even ran to the lord's floor to call for someone.
