Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 240 The Queen’s Generosity
When Beren heard Prince Heinz's proposal, his eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to weaken the power of the House of Nobles.

He didn't wait for the others to express their opinions and spoke first:

"Your Highness, this is a good idea. With the Dragon Plane as a prize, King Effiin will definitely take the bait!"

Chief Heisenberg suppressed his emotions and said calmly:
"The passage to the Dragon Plane is the secret and treasure of our empire. It's not appropriate to leak it out so easily."

Prince Heinz chuckled and said, suppressing Heisenberg's ending tone:

"The existence of the Demonic Dragon Plane is no longer a secret; it's just that no one knows how to enter it.

Using a piece of rumoured news to lure King Effiin, who is suspected to be the son of prophecy, is a very profitable deal.

Besides, the passage is still in the hands of Mr., is it possible that this Cohen can develop a space passage on his own by going to the Dragon Plane?"

Chief Heisenberg's voice then rang out:

"That's not what I'm worried about. King Effiin's ambitions are already great. If we allow him to enter the Dragon Plane, isn't Your Highness afraid that he'll steal the wealth left behind by the empire's ancestors?"

After hearing this, Prince Heinz no longer held back and laughed out loud:

"Sir, what you're saying is that the Demonic Dragon Plane, which our Central Empire's Nobles House has been unable to conquer for generations, could be taken down in one fell swoop by a young Silver-rank person?"

Shanice watched the quarrel among the people in the audience with great interest, and her eyes changed subtly.

In order to fight against the House of Nobles, which has deep roots and a long heritage like the Klein royal family, and to avenge his father, he needs to develop Cohen, a powerful foreign aid.

If we can really cooperate with Cohen to establish a dragon army, we can not only attack Heisenberg's sphere of influence, but also greatly enhance the power of the royal family.

However, the specific details still need to be discussed with Cohen, and we can't let this guy get away with it for nothing.

Shanice was silently planning in her mind, and the confrontation in the audience had obviously reached a fever pitch.

Prime Minister Hayes, who had been watching the show, was also slightly surprised. Prince Heinz, who was usually taciturn and focused on military affairs, was so aggressive this time. It was obvious that he would not give up until he achieved his goal!
Prince Heinz's voice once again rang in everyone's ears:

“Also, sir, are you exaggerating too much about this Cohen thing?

How can you be so sure, sir, that a young man born in a small country in the northwest, who has just reached level five and is less than twenty years old, will be able to win the 'strongest silver'?
Judging from the information collected by the gentleman, this person is only powerful in external support. Things like the Orc Legion, the magical equipment, and the relationship with the Golden Winged Girl and the Cursed Witch are all external.

His personal combat capability doesn't seem to be that exaggerated.

The only public battle he had fought was the one he achieved in the Extraordinary Arena when he was at the first level.

Even if he can fight against opponents of higher ranks, how many powerful people can there be in a small northwestern country? He can fight against opponents of higher ranks in Aifeiin, but it does not mean that he can do so in the Central Empire!
Is it possible that in our great empire, we can't find a young man with stronger fighting ability than Cohen?
Sir, if that is the case, then our continent's top institution of learning, Shenghui Academy, known as the breeding ground for extraordinary geniuses, should consider changing the person in charge?"

Chief Heisenberg's facial muscles twitched slightly. As a talent base for selecting and training outstanding young extraordinary people in the Central Empire, the Shenghui Academy has always been directly managed by the Academy of Nobles. The upper house of the Academy of Nobles has an Education Committee, and the chairman of the Education Committee also serves as the principal of the Shenghui Academy and is a close comrade-in-arms of Chief Heisenberg.

It can be said that the constant influx of talented young people from the Shenghui Academy is one of the fundamental reasons that has supported the growth of the Noble Academy into a behemoth in the Central Empire.

Prince Heinz actually said this at this time, and it was obvious that he also had his eyes on Shenghui Academy.

This is something Chief Heisenberg cannot tolerate. He would rather release the passage to the Demon Dragon Plane to the royal family than let the other party touch the reverse scale of Shenghui Academy!

Chief Heisenberg spoke in a resounding voice:
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Under the leadership of Minister of Education Fyodor, the Holy Glory Academy has always played an irreplaceable role in the empire's education.

I don't see any reason to replace him."

Prince Heinz smiled slightly and said, "If you want to open the window, you must first ask to lift the roof."

The idea of attacking the Holy Light Academy is certainly unrealistic at this stage, but forcing the Noble Academy to reveal the Demon Dragon Plane Channel that has been hidden for so many years is something that can be planned.

Beren also chimed in at this time:
"Let's take a step back and say that even if this Cohen can really defeat the continent's most trusted genius and take down the 'Strongest Silver' rank, aren't there still 'Strongest Bronze', 'Strongest Gold', and 'Strongest Legend' rank?

[Noble Fighting Festival] is divided into four groups, with four champions.

As long as the 'Strongest Gold' and 'Strongest Legend' are ours, what kind of waves can a mere Silver-rank Koen cause in the Demonic Dragon Plane?

The dispute in the Council Hall reached a fever pitch.

Prime Minister Hayes obviously saw the clue, but at this moment he kept his mouth shut, said nothing, and watched the debate between the three parties quietly.

A chill ran through Chief Heisenberg's heart, and he suddenly regretted taking the initiative to convene this imperial meeting.

Is he worried about Cohen? He is worried about Heinz and Beren!

Just as Beren said, it is simply a pipe dream for Cohen, the "strongest silver", to covet the Dragon Plane.

He was worried about Heinz and Beren. Even Her Majesty the Queen would secretly send people to participate in this [Noble Martial Arts Festival]. If they were to capture the "Strongest Legend" and enter the Dragon Plane, it would definitely damage the interests of the House of Nobles.

They may even use this to force the House of Nobles to give up control of some of the plane channels.

While everyone was arguing, Shanice finally finished her thoughts, coughed lightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

Her deep blue eyes flashed with a firm and decisive light, her snow-white chin was slightly raised, and her beautiful face was stern.

Shanice's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but every word struck everyone's heart, full of unquestionable power:
"Just follow His Royal Highness's advice!"

After a brief silence, Shanice turned her gaze and stared at Chief Heisenberg, smiling faintly.

"The Dragon Plane has consumed so many of the Empire's resources, yet there's still no progress. This time, we'll take advantage of the [Noble Martial Arts Festival] to see if there are any talented individuals who can collaborate with us to conquer the Dragon Plane.

Sir, no matter how good a treasure is, it must be mined before it can be considered a treasure. Rather than letting it be buried forever, it is better to find someone to work together to dig it out, what do you think?

After Shanice finished speaking, she waited silently for Chief Heisenberg's answer, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

This is the powerful will from the emperor.

Only at this moment could everyone realize that this young woman with stunning beauty and extraordinary talent was the supreme, wise and decisive Emperor who controlled the most powerful empire of mankind and who had eliminated all unstable factors and forces with ruthless means after ascending the throne!

A strange color flashed across Chief Heisenberg's eyes. He bowed slightly and spoke in a serious and cold tone:
"Your Majesty, the House of Lords will always be the strongest backing of the Empire and the Royal Family.

We will carry out your wishes with 100% responsibility and execution without hesitation!"

Shannis's face softened as she said softly:

"Sir, you are indeed the pillars of the country. The Central Empire is blessed to have such ministers. It is a blessing for the empire and the royal family!"

Chief Heisenberg, Chief Hayes, Prince Heinz, and Beren spoke at the same time:
"Your Majesty is so complimentary!"

Inside the hall, there is a friendly atmosphere of harmony between the monarch and his subjects, and peace in government and harmony among the people!

……

Rosalina stared at the ceiling in a daze, looking as if she had been teased.

Her long legs were draped limply over Cohen's shoulders, and there was a mess underneath.

There was nothing else on her delicate body except a pair of black stockings and a pair of high heels.

After a short rest, Meilansha rubbed her belly and whispered:
"If I do this every day, will my belly get bigger?"

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief, gently rubbed his fingers on Meilansha's waist, and said:

"You're already a half-step legend, it's not that easy for you to get pregnant.

If you're really worried, try going somewhere else next time."

After saying this, he glanced at Rosalina's red lips with ill intent.

Meilansha's expression froze for a moment, she snorted, and then said seriously:

"That's not what I meant. I was thinking, won't I just get fatter?"

Cohen was stunned for a moment, thinking that Rosalina's train of thought was really strange.

He patted Meilansha's buttocks and said:
“I’m telling you straight away, your belly won’t get bigger!
Now, tell me what happened.”

Meilansha gradually recovered from her lust, curled up in Cohen's arms, closed her eyes and rested for a while, then said:
"There's some trouble in the southern border. Weren't you originally planning to go directly from Yinshuang to the Kingdom of Ceylon?

The Queen wants you to go back to the southern border first and take care of things there before going back."

"What's the mess?
Are the remnants of the southern border causing trouble?"

Meilansha shook her head and whispered:

"No, it was the Military Control Commission that discovered traces of demons in the southern border.

Furthermore, Hermann, the secretary of your Military Intelligence Bureau, believes that the Gaunt family, the former Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, has secretly maintained ties with demons for generations."

A serious look appeared in Cohen's eyes. He was very surprised by this matter.

Because even in the previous life, there was no news of any relationship between the southern part of Aifeiyin and the devil.

Cohen asked:

"Do you know which demon is involved?"

All demons on the continent originate from the seventy-two demon gods.

Every demon is a god.

Previously, at the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference, the divinity that Daphne Hanbing, the [Ice Element and Snow Goddess], took out as a reward for Lorthien Yin, the [God of Truth and Memory], for tampering with everyone's memories, was what she obtained after killing the forty-seven demon gods, Huale.

Roselanda said:
"Fifty-eight demon gods, Ami."

Cohen fell into deep thought. Ami, the fifty-eight demon gods, possessed a body of fire, perhaps in human form. He controlled astrology and possessed a spell that could exchange human life force with others.

Most of his successors use the lure of immortality to make deals with humans.

In terms of combat power alone, they weren't particularly strong. The Gaunt family's deal with the demons under the command of the Fifty-Eight Pillars of Demons was likely aimed at their vitality.

After a brief thought, he asked:

"If the Gaunt family has always been in collusion with the devil, then why didn't he see any trace of the devil when he rebelled?"

Meilansha shook her head:
"I'm not sure about that. Most of the intelligence is analyzed and processed by the Military Intelligence Bureau. They should have the answer.

I came here mainly to call you back."

Cohen nodded slightly and said:
"I understand. I'll go back to Florence after I've explained a few things to Yinshuang's people.

Do you want to come with me?"

Rosalina knew that the other party possessed a magical artifact that could travel through space. Although she wanted to return to the country with Cohen, as the leader of the Effiin delegation, she still had to shoulder her own mission.

She shook her head:
"You guys go back first. I'll finish my business here and then come back."

Cohen did not insist and nodded:
"Thank you for your hard work, Shasha. I'm going to go back and see what's going on in the southern border!"

As the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by Windsordeller's slightly teasing voice:
"Pack up quickly, I'm about to come in, don't let me see anything weird."

Cohen's face stiffened slightly, and Rosalina's face also looked a little embarrassed.

The two men quickly got up and packed up, then quickly cleaned up the crime scene.

Cohen coughed lightly:
"Windsor, come in."

Windsardler pushed the door open tentatively, looked at the two neatly dressed people, wrinkled his nose, and said with disdain:
"Next time, please clean up the smell as well. Don't you know that we elves are very sensitive to smells?"

Cohen's face turned slightly red. It was the smell of the LCD, which he had forgotten to clean up.

Before he could speak, Rosalina spoke directly:
"Seeing how familiar you seem to be with it, I guess you've tasted it quite a bit these days."

Windsardler's pointed ears turned visibly red, and his red lips moved. After a long silence, he finally uttered a harmless sentence:
"Sending a girl a thousand miles away, how shameless!"

Rosalinda proudly puffed out the truth on her chest, looking very proud.

Cohen couldn't help but hold his forehead. Windsordeler, the princess who had lived in the elves' tribe since childhood, naturally could not beat Rosalinha, who grew up in the "Lost Land" and later lurked in the Black Tomb.

To avoid a harem fire, Cohen wisely changed the subject:
"Windsor, there are urgent matters to deal with back home. Let's get ready to go back first."

Then he turned to Meilansha and said:
"Windsor and I have something to discuss. You should go and rest first. I'll wait for you in Florence, and then we'll go to the Southland together."

Rosalina hummed softly, and left the room with her long legs. But when she passed by Windsordale, she shook her chest, causing ripples.

In terms of this part alone, there are indeed not many who can match Rosalina. Except for Adele, it seems that no one in Cohen's harem can have an advantage in this regard.

Windsardler glared at Cohen and bit her red lips:

"If you haven't had enough fun, call her back to continue. This lady is just studying!"

Cohen quickly smiled apologetically:

"Windsor, have you contacted the Elf Queen?
What does she want from you?"

Windsardler twisted Cohen's arm fiercely, his anger subsided, a trace of doubt appeared between his brows, and then he whispered:

"Her Majesty the Queen wants to take me as her apprentice?"

Cohen was stunned for a moment and asked:

"apprentice?
Don’t you already have a teacher?

It’s still the Grand Master of the Sanctuary, Victor.”

Windsordler shook his head:

“Saint Victor is a visiting professor at the Holy Light Academy. When I first followed my father to the Central Empire, I first went to the Holy Light Academy for further studies. I worked as a researcher under him, so I called him teacher.

I just followed Saint Victor to learn some special spells of you humans. I used this identity just to help Senis better.

When Her Majesty the Queen said she wanted to accept me as her disciple, she meant to pass on the entire legacy of the Elven race to me. In other words...she wanted to train me to be the next Elven Queen!"

Cohen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked:

"Hey, does the Elf Queen have any other restrictions, like requiring her to be pure... er, I mean, can the Elf Queen marry?"

Windsordale spat lightly and said:

"Why are you so obsessed with this kind of thing?
There's no rule that prohibits the Elf Queen from marrying, but the requirements for a husband are more stringent. He must at least be recognized by several large elven tribes."

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief and pondered the intention of Virikis's action.

Could it be that she saw hope of being able to challenge the gods again and didn't want to stay in the elves and play the role of the elf queen, so she was eager to train a new elf queen?

Or does he want to use this to consolidate his alliance with Cohen?
Seeing Cohen lost in thought, Windsardler frowned slightly and said:

"Don't you think this is strange? We just came out of the first Elf Queen's slumber cave, and Her Majesty the Queen wants to train me as the next Elf Queen.

I always feel that Her Majesty the Queen has a special intention."

Cohen came back to his senses and replied with a smile:

"Isn't it good to let you be the queen? Besides, we are just training you first. Who knows, there might be some unexpected changes in the future.

It’s not a big deal, just agree to it first.”

Cohen thought that when the continent changes in the future, the gods of the elves will also ask the elves to establish a country on the continent.

With the intervention of the gods, the elves will reunite and return to their former glory.

By that time, the Elf Queen will not only be a symbolic existence. Although the patriarch of the Elf tribe will be re-elected in the end, the Elf Queen will definitely have a great advantage.

Windsardler nodded when he heard Cohen say this:

"Well, then I will continue to be Her Majesty the Queen's student."

With the decision made, Windsordler felt much more relaxed and said to Cohen:
"Didn't you say you wanted to go back home now?"

Cohen checked the time and replied:

"Let's do it now. Let's finish the domestic affairs as soon as possible. There is still the first kingdom of the northwest continent waiting for us to deal with!"

"So Holly Oak doesn't care anymore?"

Cohen curled the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out and pinched Windsardler's pointed ear, and said:
"Hollyoak? I already have plans for him!"

Cohen opened the Book of Time and Space and found the spatial coordinates that he had imprinted in the bedroom. A silver light flashed, and the vast power of space swept towards the two of them and disappeared on the spot.

……

In Florence, the waiting room outside the Queen's office was filled with many well-dressed men and women, but it was exceptionally quiet, with even the sound of breathing being deliberately suppressed.

Looking around, everyone in the crowd was a local nobleman who could tremble the ground whenever he stomped his feet in Effiin.

At this moment, they all looked as if a family member had died. Their faces were solemn and serious. Many of them were sweating profusely on their foreheads, and they looked panicked.

Three days ago, Her Majesty the Queen issued a report order to all the nobles in the country, requiring them to come to Beijing to report within three days.

If it were before, there would definitely be many nobles who would have disdained this, but ever since the shocking battle at the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference, these people have long since become obedient. After receiving the news, they rushed to Florence day and night.

The next step is to seize the time to find connections and find out the real purpose of this performance report.

What they feared most was that the king and queen were preparing to raise their butcher knives again, and after annihilating the family of Grand Duke Gaunt, the family of Viscount Collins and the family of Viscount Dupont in the South, they would once again attack them, the landed nobles!

However, the paths and connections they used only told them one piece of not-so-good news—

This matter was planned by the Queen herself. Except for a small number of people in the Military Intelligence Bureau, no one knew the Queen's true intention.

Military Intelligence Bureau.

Hearing this name, many nobles shuddered. The notoriety of the Military Intelligence Bureau was already well-known. It was said that the spies in it were omnipresent and even conversations with wives at home could be monitored.

Many nobles who had private dealings were feeling very sad at this moment, fearing that they would be caught by Her Majesty the Queen.

Soon, the head of a count's family who was well-known in the eastern region of Effiin walked out of the queen's office.

The Earl's face was pale, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes, as if he had been stimulated by something.

When he passed by the waiting room and saw some familiar people coming over to ask about the situation, he immediately waved his hands, quickened his pace, and quickly left the scene.

Such an action made everyone feel even more heavy-hearted.

Not long after, a beautiful woman with a cold expression walked into the waiting room.

Although she looks very young, no one dares to underestimate this girl who has been with His Majesty the King for a long time.

Miss Nephthys, Assistant Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau and Director of the Finance Department, is respected by everyone as "Ms.

He currently also serves as the secretary to Her Majesty the Queen.

Nephthys held a list and spoke in a cold voice, as if pronouncing a verdict:
"Has Lord Auston Grey of Helios arrived?"
