I'm in Terra

"Really? That's great." Victoria chuckled, picked up the red wine on the cabinet familiarly, and poured himself a glass.

"Nice red wine, your taste is as good as ever." After taking a sip of red wine, Victoria sat down opposite Kashena and slowly thought about some information he still remembered.

As his secret partner, Kashena is a former university teacher and his secretary. Victoria did not hesitate to pay her a high salary, and Kashena used all of it to embellish her life.

Fashionable new clothes, beautiful hand nails, high-end red wine and various books that looked not simple at all. Black Snake was enjoying life more than he had imagined.

"Looks like you've had some minor problems?" Cassiena clinked glasses with Victorinox, the crimson wine fading between her alluring red lips. "Was it those Luxembourg officials? With those idiots' IQs, they might not even understand your concept."

"It's not them. I don't mind wasting my time with less intelligent people. Besides, most of them are quite sensible." Victoria swirled his glass, his eyes fixed on Kashena's fair neck. "Tell me, who's here?"

"..."

The elegant drinking beauty shuddered slightly, and a drop of wine slid from her lips, down her neck to her collarbone.

But even such a small impolite mistake still showed a different charm on Kashena.

For a moment, Victoria wanted to pounce on her viciously, press Kashena under him, and lick the wine that had slipped off for her.

Of course, desire only lasted a moment. Victor quickly suppressed his impulse and stared at Kashena's thin lips expressionlessly.

"Who's coming? That's a good question."

Kasheina put down her wine glass, deliberately ignoring the drop of wine stuck between her collarbones, and reached out to touch the biography on the table:

"In Ursus, there were several ancient legends. Those who betrayed the emperor and the country would be left dead in the wilderness on an unremarkable night. They believed they were the embodiment of the will of Ursus, and their will and strength were worthy of this title. Like General Ferdo, who wrote this autobiography, he fought countless battles for Ursus in his early years, but in his later years, after seeking a high position, he chose to betray the country he had worked so hard to build. In the end, he disappeared, and his autobiography came to an abrupt end."

"Ancient legend?" Victoria frowned. "Is there a being in this country that's even older than you? Wait, could it be them? The sharp blade???"

Kashena nodded, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

With Kashena's prompting, Victor quickly recalled the discordant truth. He certainly knew of the existence of the Emperor's Blade and had imagined the possibility of meeting them.

However, knowing is one thing, and imagination is another; the few words in the game are completely different from the personal experience in reality. This also led to Victoria not being able to notice the arrival of the Emperor's Blade at the first time. He thought it was an unexpected visit from a giant beast or a beast master.

"Since he's here, why doesn't he show up?" After knowing who the visitor was, Victoria felt relieved.

Although the strength of the inside defender was a little beyond his expectations, he still had a plan to deal with the opponent.

Kasheina didn't answer Victoria's question, nor did she need to. The moment she confirmed Victoria's guess, Victoria had already thought of the answer.

"It's surveillance and investigation, right?" Victor hugged Kashena and kissed her neck like a vampire. The naughty drop of wine finally couldn't escape the beauty's skin and was sucked into the boy's mouth and tongue.

"His Majesty Fyodor wants to understand me and determine which side I'm on, so he specially invited an internal guard to act as an investigator? To monitor my every move?"

Feeling the hot air on her neck, Kashena's cheeks flushed slightly: "It seems that Fyodor will be disappointed."

"Not necessarily, maybe he will be overjoyed?" Victoria let go of the beauty and elegantly drank the red wine on the table.

Although Kasheina's body made him linger, unfortunately, he still had a lot of work to do. Moreover, he didn't like to perform live sex shows in front of others, so it wouldn't be too late to enjoy her for a few days.

"Good night, then, my dear lady."

After a brief farewell, Victoria left Kashena's room without looking back. Before officially starting work, he still had some preparations to do.

Now that you know the exam you are about to take, it makes sense to prepare answers based on the exam subjects in advance, right?

Entering the bathroom, Victoria let the icy cold water pour from the showerhead. The biting cold quickly swept away the remaining romantic feelings in his heart, and Victoria also opened his lottery interface in time.

'Current Merit Value: 18600'

Before entering Luxembourg, his merit points were around 9000. When he killed Rossiya and successfully seized control of Luxembourg, the merit system gave him merit points in one go. Coupled with the several small battles he won with his army, he could now almost get two points in one go.

Now that a special 'examiner' had arrived, Victoria didn't plan to continue accumulating merit points. He already knew that since a fight with the sharp blade was inevitable, he should add some chips to his bargaining chips.

The Blade's abilities are very tricky, and the abilities gained by choosing a Civilian are unlikely to pose a threat to the Blade. In contrast, the stability bonus of a Military Officer allows him to face challenges in a better state, and many combat skills can also play a good role.

Therefore, this time, he chose the general pool without hesitation.

With a flick of his finger, the merit points disappeared like snowflakes, replaced by a powerful force.

Without a doubt, he delivered!

PS: I found an African Star yesterday, and Hokusai also shipped it.

Wine Pool and Meat Forest: 5 With iron chains connecting the boats, the Eastern Wu navy can be defeated!

"hiss----"

Victory's third general card was the same as the previous one. Before its true appearance was revealed, a huge force burst out from his body.

But unlike the previous two times, the enhanced power this time was not only huge, but also had a kind of invigorating heat.

"call----"

With each breath, a thin puff of steam rose from Victoria's body. The cold water droplets dripping onto his skin evaporated rapidly under some force. For a moment, the once clear bathroom was covered in a thin mist.

Brush——————

Victoria turned the shower head to the maximum, and the large amount of cold water sprayed out at a rapid speed to extinguish the sudden inexplicable heat.

He stretched out his right hand and gently flipped over the general card floating in the air. Unexpectedly, as his fingertips just touched the card, several red iron chains instantly shot out from the card and tightly bound Victoria's right arm.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the cry of an old but vigorous voice.

"With iron chains linking the boats, the Eastern Wu navy can be broken!"

As he spoke, the red iron chain went along his arm and into Victoria's body, and the heat that had just surged in his body subsided in an instant.

Victor turned off the shower and gently pinched the general card. After hearing the classic line, he knew which tough guy he had drawn even without looking at the general's face.

Huang Gai, also known as Huang Gongfu, was a veteran general of the Eastern Wu Kingdom and the executor of the "Torture the Self" strategy and the burning of Red Cliffs. It can be said that it was his selfless dedication that led to the destruction of the Cao Wei navy.

He is also a popular character in Three Kingdoms Killing, possessing a variety of breakthrough cards and skill sets. The classic line just now is the line that activates Jie Huang Gai's skills.

He flipped open the officer card, and the card bore the original painting of Huang Gai, the Boundary Breaker. Victoria wasn't surprised, but instead looked down at Huang Gai's abilities.

However, what was engraved on the Jie Huang Gai card was not the "suffering" and "false surrender" in Victoria's memory, but a more commendatory word.

'Sacrifice oneself'

Victoria frowned and stuffed the Jie Huang Gai into his body. He didn't know what the specific function of the ability of "sacrifice" was. Instead of guessing, he might as well experiment directly.

As soon as the officer card was loaded, Victor noticed something different about Huang Gai. Compared to Dong Zhuo's eighteen martial arts or Liu Bei's superb swordsmanship, Huang Gai's officer card didn't directly grant Victor any martial arts. Instead, it offered a relentless, burning will to keep moving forward.

The heat that had just been extinguished resurfaced, but Victoria did not feel any discomfort now. Instead, he felt refreshed all over.

It's a business opportunity, it's a business opportunity!

After just a few seconds of experience, Victoria understood the purpose of Jie Huang Gai's skills. Strictly speaking, the ability of self-sacrifice is similar to that of self-torture, and can be considered a combination of self-torture and feigned surrender.

This is an ability that strengthens when faced with strong opponents and remains strong in times of danger. The more dangerous Victory is, the more he sacrifices himself to fight, the more intense the fire in his body will be, and his physical fitness, willpower, and even martial arts will continue to improve.

It can be said that this is the best life-threatening skill.

"I've drawn a trump card now." After confirming his understanding, Victoria replaced Liu Bei's officer card and hummed a little tune as he showered.

If he remembered correctly, the Emperor's blade, besides its powerful combat capabilities, also had two other killing moves. One was the ability to inspire fear in others, and to enhance its own abilities based on the degree of fear.

The other unfolds a realm called the "Kingdom." Anyone within its boundaries will be tainted by demonic forces. More importantly, while the Kingdom appears as a mist spreading across reality, it is actually another dimension. Therefore, simply running away will never lead to escape.

But these moves are now ineffective against Victoria. With the Jie Huang Gai Officer Card, Victoria is almost impossible to be triggered by Fear, and the most terrifying "Country" of the Inner Guard is precisely restrained by Dorothy's Dimensional Transcendence.

The reason was simple: the special abilities of these inner guards came from fragments of demons. Demonic power was disordered and chaotic, so even if the inner guards could use themselves as coordinates to summon the demonic realm, it would be completely meaningless to Victoria, who could escape into the world of consciousness.

After all, the demons can't invade the world of consciousness, at least not yet. By the time they can do it, Terra will have been almost destroyed, right?

After gathering his thoughts, Victory, feeling relieved, rushed to his study. While the internal security issue had been temporarily resolved, he still had a ton of work to do in Luxembourg. Since he had to spend his daytime catching up on official duties, he'd have to work on these extra plans in the evenings.

At the same time, Kashena, who was half lying on the bed reading Ferdo's autobiography, suddenly stopped and then threw away the biography she had been reading for two days.

Compared to this heroic yet ridiculous biography, Kashena wanted to see something more.

"Becoming stronger again? How interesting, do you grow again every once in a while?" Squinting his eyes, Kashena slid into the bed. The sudden expansion of the breath next door did not escape his perception, and his real body had lowered his head at this time, carefully looking at the reflection of Victoria's consciousness.

Just now, right under her nose, the flame belonging to Victoria became even more vigorous. She had seen this situation before, but those were special fluctuations that only appeared when those people awakened.

But what about Victoria? In less than a year, she had already seen Victoria's reflection 'swell' twice. Once might have been an accident, but twice was definitely not.

"Perhaps, you are still hiding some secrets that I don't know about? Haha, that's right, that's interesting. Let's continue playing. I will keep watching you until you are completely revealed in front of me."

Licking his lips, the giant snake in the world of consciousness closed its eyes again. Kashena suddenly felt a little hot in her body. The secret hidden in Victoria piqued her curiosity.

Closing her eyes, Kasheina recalled Victoria's touch, and her hands couldn't help but fiddle with it:

"I have plenty of patience, but... this time is an exception. Perhaps I should contact the Emperor's prosecutor in advance."

"Victori... Hehehe, Victoria!"

That night, Kashena's room was filled with mist.

PS: Oh, please don’t tear up my ticket. Hokusai is better today, okay?

Wine Pool and Meat Forest: 6 Truth and Illusion

"Come and take a look at this document. Once you have sorted out this administrative record from last year, I can almost leave with peace of mind."

Norvinsk, Victoria's birthplace, was once a poor city, but after more than a year of Victoria's careful governance, this remote place began to flourish.

New mines are being built one after another, and the barren land in the south is also being reclaimed. If this momentum continues, Norvinsk will soon be able to get rid of the reputation of being a barren land.

After Victoria successfully secured the position of Governor of Luxembourg, a new lord of Norvinsk was quickly transferred.

Paul Bush, a native of Norvinsk, was a man of quick wit and strength. He had experience as a general's assistant and had also served under Victor. Most importantly, Paul's father, Malfoy Bush, held a pivotal position in Norvinsk, and his support and assistance to Victor was the most dedicated of all.

Therefore, Victoria certainly did not mind returning the favor and making the Bush family a true aristocracy.

Of course, Paul was clearly unqualified to be a lord, as his years of military service had made him less sensitive to politics. Therefore, Victor also helped him by temporarily leaving his distant cousin Dorothy in Norvinsk.

Although Dorothy had always wanted to return to Victoria's side and continue her work as his secretary, as a native of Norvinsk, she also understood how important a qualified lord was to the city. Therefore, after Victoria made the arrangement, Dorothy did not complain much, but instead worked hard to help her brother figure out how to become a qualified lord.

However, Paul, a talent carefully selected by Victor, was no fool. With just a little guidance from Dorothy, the energetic young man mastered the art of management. It was just that the administrative records left by Victor were a bit beyond the scope of ordinary people, so he needed Dorothy's guidance to understand them.

"Huh - finally done." After several days of struggle, Paul finally understood the arrangements left by Victoria in Norvinsk. Dorothy was also very happy because Paul's graduation meant that she could return to Victoria.

"I used to only know that the young master was smart and capable. But after studying for so long, I finally understand just how smart he truly is." After closing the file bag, Paul sighed with regret, "If I had relied on myself alone, I probably wouldn't have been able to reach such a high level in my lifetime, would I?"

"Perhaps even two lifetimes wouldn't be enough." Dorothy's lips curled up slightly. Her brother adored her lover, and she was happy to see such a harmonious and loving scene. "And don't call me Young Master anymore. Remember to call me Governor from now on. Of course, if you're embarrassed, calling me brother-in-law might be... Who? Come out!"

As they chatted, Dorothy suddenly put away her briefcase and pulled out her own magic unit from her pocket. Paul, standing beside her, didn't hesitate at all and quickly pulled out a dagger.

However, Dorothy's call received no response. Apart from a cool breeze coming from the half-open window, there was no sound in the entire office.

"What's going on?" Paul remained alert and quietly pressed the call bell hidden inside his desk. Dorothy leaned against Paul, squinting her eyes as she surveyed her surroundings.

"A strange guy just approached, but he left quickly after I made a noise. Tsk, don't call the servants, they should have left by now."

Despite this, the two remained alert for several minutes. Only after confirming that there were no traces of anything did Dorothy put away the magic unit. "I'll be going to Luxembourg in the next two days. After I leave, have your uncle find you some bodyguards to follow you around the clock. You probably haven't forgotten the assassination in Luxembourg, so it's better to be safe than sorry."

Paul nodded calmly without saying anything. As a witness to several assassination attempts, he naturally wouldn't forget those bloody lessons. Although he believed he hadn't offended anyone, sometimes, sitting in this position already represented a certain stance.

Of course, what Paul and Dorothy didn't know was that the person who had just approached them quietly was not the so-called assassin, but an observer from the Castle of Saint Steed.

On the outskirts of Norvinsk, a figure in a black coat was walking alone on the snowy field, muttering something.

"Luxembourg is getting back on track, and the city he once governed is thriving. At first, I thought those two young men were just fooling around as lords, but I didn't expect them to notice me approaching. It seems they have some skills. Humph, this new governor is even more capable than I thought.

However, he seems to care little for laws and traditions, and his reform plans are visible in both Norvinsk and Luxembourg. Most importantly, he hasn't clearly articulated his position yet, which could be a hidden danger.

As he was speaking, the black figure quietly disappeared on the snow, and no one knew what his next move would be.

At the same time, Victory, who was far away in Luxembourg, also received what he wanted.

A gift.

A gift from Saint Castle.

The gifts were very rich. First of all, there was a large amount of jewelry and red gold. There was also a set of protective gear handmade by a master and a matching ceremonial sword on the car. There were even two young and beautiful maids accompanying him.

Victor warmly welcomed the leader of the convoy and obtained the information he wanted from him.

The team leader didn't hide anything and frankly told Victor the source of these gifts. When he heard that these were all promotion gifts sent to him by Finance Minister Said and Defense Minister Chervin, Victor smiled happily.

He accepted these gifts without any hesitation, and entertained the chief and his convoy well. Finally, he selected some jewels and diamonds from his own spoils that were no less valuable than these treasures as a return gift, and handed them over to the convoy to escort them back along the same route.

He knew that many people wanted to establish contact with him, and he also knew that the inner guards sent by the emperor were probably observing his every move.

But it didn't matter. He did everything for them to see. He wanted everyone to watch him fall into the arms of the old aristocracy.

Victor enjoyed the two beautiful women that day, and except for a few of the jewels he kept as gifts, he gave the rest to the meritorious officials in these battles.

Looking at Victoria's indulgence and reveling every night, the leader of the team left with satisfaction.

He knew that Victoria would become his master's most solid ally, and he could also climb up the ladder with such merit.
