The Overlord Garserik Perlas Empire has been destroyed for more than two thousand years. This huge empire that occupied the entire continent and ruled for more than seven hundred years has left countless mysteries to the world to be solved. About Perlas Many documents and materials of the empire disappeared in the flames of war. However, some of the surviving documents also recorded many unknown secrets. For example, Gallodio, the last emperor of the Perlas Empire at the end of the empire, was said to be extremely favored by him. A concubine with a mysterious identity. For this beloved concubine, even the queen was ordered to be executed. In the end, even the empire's treasury was handed over to her beloved concubine to manage.
After the rebel army captured the capital of the Perlas Empire, Emperor Galodio committed suicide, but the whereabouts of his beloved concubine were unknown. Until now, people can only know about this last imperial concubine from very few records. The name - Eunogia!
"Ha~ are you saying that the woman in Free City now is a living fossil that has lived for more than two thousand years?" Gus burst into laughter.
Buanyani stirred the water cup with a spoon and expressed a different opinion: "If it is a dragon, it is not surprising to live for two thousand years. If the elves are longer, they should be able to live to this age, but it should be impossible for half-elves. Well, he should be dead in six to seven hundred years at most, and this is even if he is very lucky." In fact, Alisa also felt that Eunogia in the Free City should only be with the last emperor of the Perlas Empire. The concubine had the same name by accident, otherwise it would be scary to think about it. I had actually lived for such a long time with an immortal monster that had lived for more than two thousand years, and was almost brainwashed into falling in love with him without hesitation. other people.
"Is there any way to extend life in this world?" LeBlanc asked.
"There is a rare potion called a life-extending potion. However, the effect of this potion is limited and cannot make people immortal. Usually, it can only extend a person's entire life span by about 30% at most." Buyani lives as a giant dragon. longer than anyone else. Relatively speaking, he knows more about all kinds of knowledge than anyone else: "If you want to be truly immortal, you must transform yourself into an undead creature, and you must become a high-level lich to achieve complete immortality. Of course, there is no such thing as a witch." Demons will live forever. In fact, many lichs have no attachment to the world and finally choose to dissipate themselves."
Lelouch said noncommittally: "Time is always the greatest enemy of life."
"That's right! Your Excellency Lelouch." Buanyani smiled mischievously. Kenjiro, who had been listening at this time, finally couldn't help but ask: "Eunokia did such a bad thing. Isn't there anyone to punish her?"
Alisa shook her head helplessly and said: "Mr. Kenjiro, your thinking is too simple. Not to mention that there is no direct evidence to prove what Yunokia did. Even if there is an estimate, there is nothing that can be done to her. Free City is A completely autonomous neutral city, the laws here are jointly formulated by the three major business giants.”
To Lelouch, no matter what the background of the woman named Yunokia was, she was at most just an object that needed special precautions. The task now is not to explore the identity of this woman. How to take root in the free city and quickly raise funds to establish corresponding forces. After these things are completed, finding the soul stone left in the free city is the most important thing.
Because she still had to arrange things for tomorrow, Alyssa, who had been busy all day, went back to her room to rest. As a black dragon, Lelouch's sleep time has been greatly reduced. In theory, one or two days a week is enough to sleep. Sufficient physical strength gives Lelouch more time to collect information about the city. There are two other people in the team who are restless night owls. One is Zed, the Lord of Shadows. After dinner, Zed had quietly left the room, just as unnoticed as when he appeared. LeBlanc, on the other hand, was very interested in inviting Buyani to go shopping with her.
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
At noon on the second day, Alisa directly handed Lelouch a plan. As the daughter of a merchant family and having formed her own caravan since she was a child, Alisa's talent was beyond doubt. Lelouch carefully browsed the plan, and found that it was generally a fairly satisfactory transaction target. The only well-known chamber of commerce in the free city is Alisa's own family. It seems that Alisa is also preparing to rely on her own advantages to make a name for Lelouch.
"Very good!" Lelouch nodded with great satisfaction: "Then let's deal with this important matter later."
"Okay, Sir Lelouch."
Alisa finally smiled easily and added her Westphalian family to the transaction in order to implement Lelouch's plan to quickly establish power in the free city. The second is that the goods brought out from the mysterious city in the Yanold Mountains this time are indeed unexpected good things. Although Alisa signed a contract to assist Yalin, under the influence of selfishness, Alisa still wanted to Multiple families strive for some benefits without violating the contract.
At this moment, LeBlanc walked in with Hatcher in his arms like a lazy cat: "I'm sorry, Sir Lelouch, I'm afraid I need to catch up on my nap later, so I can't accompany you today."
"I know, how did you feel about shopping last night?"
When asked this question, LeBlanc showed an almost excited expression: "I really love this city so much."
For the leader of the Black Rose, LeBlanc really likes this city very much. The entire city is a huge hotbed, full of money and sex, coupled with a huge gap between rich and poor. It can be said that this city is full of soil that allows 'black roses' to bloom!
"It's true that I found out some interesting news last night. Maybe I can tell you while I still have some energy." He sat down next to Lelouch. LeBlanc said in Lelouch's ear with an almost charming tone.
"But it doesn't matter."
"There was a riot in the Free City recently. It is said that an orc led a group of slaves to kill them out of the arena, and also tried to rush into Felibos Cantor's mansion with the intention of kidnapping him."
This breaking news shocked Alisa: "Really? How did those slaves break through the blocking circle? Didn't the armed guards in the city stop them?"
"There was a stop, but there were witnesses at the time who said that the orc who took the lead fought extremely bravely. It was because of him that the armed guards were defeated, and even the supporting knight captain was killed by him."
"In the end, they were suppressed, right?" Lelouch asked without raising his head, still holding the plan.
"Of course, it seems that these slaves were quite unlucky. The famous arena champion in the free city happened to be a guest in Felibos's mansion on the night of their riot. The result can be imagined┉┉" Le Fran talked as if it had nothing to do with her. In his words, he felt quite happy to see the slave uprising being suppressed.
Lelouch didn't say anything. This world is originally a backward and barbaric world. It seems to be a natural thing for the strong to dominate the weak. Even if he wants to change the world, he still needs to go a long way. , now is not the time to be sad about the loss of one or two innocent lives.
"Only this?"
"A very interesting thing happened during the riot. At that time, some soldiers witnessed the orc fighting the arena champion. The orc suddenly turned into a ferocious monster, but of course he still lost to the champion." Fran stretched lazily: "And there was a slave who escaped during that riot. I heard that the arena champion even offered a huge reward for his capture."…
“This news is indeed very interesting┉┉”
Lelouch finally put down the plan in his hand, gently dragged his chin and began to think deeply.
"That arena champion's name is Gelkate, right?"
"Yes, Sir Lelouch, he has always been the most famous hero in the free city. It is said that his strength is so strong that it is hard to estimate." Alisa quickly added at the side.
"It seems that heroes sometimes do things that don't deserve to be called heroes."
Lelouch shook his head helplessly. Before setting off, Lelouch had learned about the strongest mercenary in the Free City from the information given by Yalin. He had the ability to kill dragon lizards and was even in the Golden Spike Territory. Li Shi saved the life of Cancer Gold Saint Manigault. Judging from these deeds, this arena champion should be a fairly neutral person. Whether it is good or evil, he does everything based on his preferences.
Alisa was a little confused. The girl didn't seem to know that thanks to the help of the mercenary in the Golden Spike territory, she was able to escape from the hands of the devil while she was still in her soul state.
And at the same time. The object of discussion, Gerkat, was strutting into the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. Seeing the arrival of the strongest mercenary king in the free city, the guards in the chamber of commerce did not dare to stop him. Let’s not talk about the terrifying strength of this mercenary king. Moreover, it is said that the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, Croside, has a very good personal relationship with Gerkat. It must be that Gerkat is here for something, so why should he do something stupid
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gerkat. The vice-president is temporarily out of town today because of something. He probably won't be back until around the afternoon." The maid who received the reception didn't hesitate to explain the situation to Gerkat.
Gelkate scratched his head and looked very troubled: "This guy has never been fine that time. Forget it! I'll wait for him to come back here, oh~ you don't need to lead the way. I know where the rest room is. "
After saying that, Gerkat casually left the bewildered maid behind and walked to the VIP lounge as easily as if she were at home. Along the way, I noticed the arrival of the Mercenary King. Many staff in the Chamber of Commerce and businessmen handling business looked sideways. Some even hurriedly seized the opportunity to come forward to greet and get close to Gerkat. This situation lasted until another person came out. .
"Hey~Mr. Gerkat, what kind of wind brought you here!"
Lakshmi Mittal, the president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, greeted with a warm smile. Standing next to the president was a person, the right-hand man of Lawrence, the chairman of the Free City Chamber of Commerce—Ms. Suzanne Kaiman .
