There are many ruthless bosses living in my territory

The people he brought with him were all the elite troops in the territory. If they were all lost, the military strength of the territory under his direct jurisdiction would be reduced by at least 40%.

The knights and spellcasters who have cultivated mysterious powers are his most core strength.

If he loses them, he will lose a lot of his voice even if he is a high-ranking noble...

No! There is still a chance of a comeback!

Duke Dick looked towards the direction of the south gate of the outer city, and his pupils saw a large number of burned human figures.

Then he saw a group of people coming out of the sea of ​​fire.

The armor they wore was engraved with the crest of House Ayler.

"puff!!!"

Buck! Even Buck and the others...

The fat figure fainted completely.

Melv kept holding the hilt of the sword and remained vigilant until she saw Duke Dick vomiting blood and falling down, then she sent someone to rescue Duke Dick.

He really fainted. He was not acting, nor was he hiding anything.

It seems that what her brother is worried about will not happen.

There is no need for Mr. Madara to take any more action.

At this time, Uchiha Madara raised his head and his eyes were focused on the shadow of the high-rise building in the distance.

There were a few people there who immediately hid in the shadows and fled as if they had seen their natural enemy. One of them ran into a house, patting his chest and muttering.

"Who is that scary old man?"

"Even the archbishop of the temple is as afraid to act rashly as his grandson."

At this moment, Sombra suddenly felt an arm on her shoulder.

"Beauty, can we find a place to talk?"

The shadow subconsciously turned her head and saw a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes looking at her with a smile.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

She was so scared that she immediately hid in the shadows and escaped to the corner of an alley.

"But... Damn it, you actually dared to scare me..."

"That guy seems to be Lister Eller. How did he get close to me so quietly?"

"We can talk about this, ma'am."

!!!

The shadow raised his head and saw the face he had just seen.

She! She just doesn't believe it!

She decisively dived into the shadows again and moved forward quickly.

Practicing the power of shadow allows one to sneak into the shadow space and jump within the space, which is a power that is very suitable for covert operations.

Therefore, the Dark Court was able to evade the Temple's pursuit time and again.

Of course, there is also a reason why the Holy Land did not spend too much effort to deal with them.

This time, the shadow passed through several buildings and finally reappeared in a basement.

"Now that guy is looking for..."

"Bang!"

The door to the basement was opened and Lister's head popped out.

"My lady from the Dark Court, I am tired of playing hide and seek."

"So, can we talk?"

“Eeeeeeeee!!!!”

The black shadow was startled and sat down on the ground.

The black hood fell off, revealing two large round white ears on top of the head.

"Don't look!"

She quickly pulled her hood back on.

"…Isn't he just a half-orc with rat blood?"

Liszt entered the basement and looked indifferently at the white-haired mouse girl slumped on the ground.

"Just answer my questions and I won't make things difficult for you."

“…What’s the problem?”

The white-haired mouse girl chose to compromise.

"Is the recent surge in thefts within the Kingdom of Rennes related to you?"

"Was it your own initiative or was it ordered by your superiors?"

The white-haired mouse girl looked up suddenly, her eyes revealing fear.

"It seems that your superiors ordered you to do this."

Liszt narrowed his eyes.

"You, you, you...I have no idea what you are talking about!"

The person before the meeting was still stubborn, but Liszt didn't care, because his goal had been achieved.

Duke Dick did not reveal any trump card that exceeded his strength even at the most dangerous moment. He should have simply been provoked and decided to deal with the Eller family.

The sudden surge in thefts in the kingdom was confirmed to be related to the Dark Court. It is very likely that someone commissioned the high-ranking officials of the Dark Court to do this to divert the attention of officials.

Who is that?

Who is weakening local power by adopting the pattern of a kingdom, no, even a higher pattern?

The outcome of this principality war conflict between the Eiler family and the Dick family is already clear.

The Dick family lost a lot of power and even lost many industries.

I'm afraid the Dick family's territory will soon be facing a period of high crime, and even reduced tax revenues.

The amount of tax paid cannot be less, otherwise the Dick family will have to make up the difference themselves.

It would take several generations of the Dick family to fill the hole created by this incident.

After considering all this, there was still an unrelieved worry between Liszt's brows.

This Duke Dick incident brought him good news and bad news.

The good news is that the person who planned this didn't specifically target the Eiler family.

The bad news is that the person who planned this has a big plan. Given the current situation in the kingdoms, they may not be able to detect this kind of tactics, and even if they do, it will be difficult to resist.

Ugh……

Thinking of this, Lister felt extremely worried about the future of the Eyler family.

But he is lucky!

Although his system is a bit unreliable, he is currently gaining tangible benefits.

Although Madara and Aizen cannot be considered as his companions, as long as they exchange interests and guide their power correctly, they can also become unique helpers.

Liszt clenched his fists.

Now is a time of internal and external troubles. We should not be anxious, but instead accurately grasp the main contradictions.

Now is no longer appropriate to investigate the mastermind behind this; the first goal should be to develop the territory.

Only when his power and territory become strong, can he respond to all changes with the same attitude!

Let's go back.

At the same time, Aizen Sosuke, who had been hiding in the dark, was above Baiyue Castle.

Floating beside him were four kinds of powers sealed by the Ghost Dao, namely blood, holy light, arcane and shadow.

All four forces are weak, but strong enough to demonstrate their energy characteristics.

Aizen, who was wearing glasses, was writing something in a notebook with a brush.

It not only records the characteristics of the four powers and the experiments that can be performed, but also observation notes on the United States of Ahmora.

[The nobles of the Ahmora Union have far less power than the nobles of Soul Society. 】

[After thousands of generations, these nobles have become corrupt, but the strict laws and supervision of the Holy Land allow them to still function properly. ]

[The separation of executive power from supervisory power and adjudicative power can slow down corruption to a certain extent, but it cannot cure it. ]

[The stagnant United States needs destruction to become nutrients to nourish the growth of new flowers. ]

Aizen put away the notebook and smiled.

“It’s been a very pleasant vacation.”

"Thank you for letting me see so many new things."

"Lester Eyler."

At this time, Aizen saw Lister picked up the badge and put it to his mouth.

"Mr. Aizen, I have a favor to ask of you."

"I'm going back to the territory, but the priests from the church will definitely follow me."

"I can't refuse. Illusions can't control people for a long time. I'm also afraid that overstimulating the priest's mind will make the people in charge of liaison in the temple notice something unusual, so..."

"I ask you to use the Mirror Flower and Water Moon to control her five senses and help me keep it secret for a while."

"……Can."

Chapter 32 Return and Surprise

The Duke Dick incident is completely over.

The Archbishop is gone, and the delayed illusion hidden in his brain will blur his memory of Madara.

Lister knew that there were still many details that had not been properly handled, but he no longer had the energy to solve them.

Besides, the three holy places have always been high and mighty, and rarely send direct descendants to the border. Moreover, they might be busy with other things later and have no time to take care of him.

After repeatedly confirming the situation, Lister believed that his current primary goal was to digest the two powers of chakra and spiritual power as quickly as possible, so that everyone in the territory could practice.

and so……

Liszt got up from the three-meter-high bed early in the morning, accepted the service of Elsa and Reina, and prepared to return to the territory.

"Liszt, are you really not going to stay a few more days?"

Melv looked at her handsome brother and couldn't help pinching his face.

"You are always like this. Once you decide to do something, you act quickly and no one can stop you."

"Okay, didn't you always say you didn't want to see me every day?"

Liszt pulled away the hand that was pinching his cheek.

Melv smiled.

"Ever since a certain guy gave me his title, I've liked him more and more."

“How realistic.”

"That's how nobles are. Look at other families. They don't have such a close relationship with each other as we do."

"Yes, yes, yes. The old man doesn't have any concubines, just the two of us, so of course there won't be so many conflicts."

"Well, aren't you busy and want to leave quickly? I won't keep you any longer, but you have to come with me first. Father has a gift for you."

Liszt rolled his eyes.

He returned to the territory the day before yesterday, fought Duke Dick yesterday, and was preparing to leave today. The old man didn't even show up, and now he says he wants to give him a gift?
