Brentanian Empire, the royal capital.
The city lights are bright in the dark night. Looking back from the city wall, the night view of this majestic city is full of prosperity.
The life is full of decadence and material desire.
"They're gone."
Grand Duke Bern stood on the top of the city wall and spoke.
On a suburban road under the cover of night, a convoy slowly drove towards the east.
The man leaned against the city wall and said lazily, "It's rare that the head of Valerius's family came to personally see the delegation off. Is it because the ambassador to the ancient city of Hera this time is your brother?"
Grand Duke Bern nodded: "It is the highest honor for the Valerius family to be able to promote peace. I helped him to become a diplomatic envoy because I needed him to contribute at this time."
The man smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will die? The border is not peaceful right now. My daughter was just asked to investigate the black magic riot two days ago."
Grand Duke Bern responded succinctly: "I paid a large sum of money to hire a team of brave men to escort you."
The man was a little surprised: "The Brave Team? Is that the boy who was recognized by the Holy Dragon? You were able to invite him. That boy had a conflict with our Administration Bureau. He is a fool."
Grand Duke Bern hummed: "In this era, there is nothing that money and power cannot do."
He looked at the caravan going away, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Now the four top families in the capital have reached an agreement. We stand side by side and control more than half of the resources of this city. When my brother finishes the negotiations, the resources of the ancient city of Hera will also be developed by the Valerius family."
"Everything is ready, except for your participation, Lord Constance."
The man lit a cigarette and puffed out thick, choking smoke.
"I knew you wanted to meet me for this. I still say the same thing..."
He paused and said, "The Governing Bureau has its own rules. It is your business for you nobles to stick together. Although the Barron family is also in the aristocratic class, they are different from you in the final analysis."
A hint of coldness flashed in Grand Duke Bourne's eyes, but in the end he did not try to persuade him any further.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
The man was about to stand up when a crow suddenly landed on his palm.
There was a letter tied to the crow's ankle.
The man opened the scroll, released the crow, and unfolded the letter without a care in the world. "Oh? The black magic riot in Roma City has been solved? Interesting, very interesting, Grand Duke Bern."
Grand Duke Bern said expressionlessly: "With Miss Luciemia's ability, it should be justified."
"Hahaha, come on. I know what level my daughter is at. This case involves a lot of things, and it's not something that a fool like my daughter can solve."
The man turned around and said with a smile: "Grand Duke Bern, don't you have a son in Roma City?"
Grand Duke Bern frowned: "Yes, I have asked Novia to bring him back for a political marriage with the eldest daughter of the Xavier family. Why do you suddenly mention him?"
"See for yourself."
The man handed him the letter report directly with an amused look on his face.
Archduke Bern's pupils suddenly contracted.
Chapter 41 The Dark Elves Will Never Surrender
"Is it about the Frostian family?"
The empress glanced at the young man across the table and the girl behind him, revealing a look of sudden realization: "I understand. I thought you would wait until you return to the capital to investigate this matter, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious. I can help you, but that was before I ascended the throne, and there may not be any results."
The Frostian family was wiped out twelve years ago.
The empress had been on the throne for less than six years.
"It doesn't matter. I believe in your Majesty's ability."
Licinius got the promise from His Majesty, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Before returning to the capital, he must figure out who his potential enemy is.
"Um… "
The empress suddenly remembered something and said meaningfully, "Oh, by the way, the diplomatic mission going to the ancient city of Hera for negotiations should be your old acquaintances. Be prepared."
Licinius was stunned, and instantly understood who His Majesty was talking about.
Norn said expressionlessly: "Uncle Mond, that old bastard?"
Li Xini was stunned on the spot. He turned to the girl and said earnestly: "Noren, I have told you so many times not to imitate my way of speaking. This is not a word that should come out of a girl's mouth!"
Noren said "oh".
However, the empress put her hand on her chin and asked seriously, "What does Lao Bi Deng mean?"
Licinius looked embarrassed and explained, "This is also not a word that should come out of your majesty's mouth. Speaking of which, since this diplomatic mission is from our Valerius family, my father should be thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to seek benefits for himself in the ancient city of Hera, right?"
When the empress mentioned this, she snorted unhappily, "What else? In the past few years, he has been trying to unify the top nobles in the royal city and establish a huge, monopolistic economic and power system."
Li Xini said, "This is called capital grouping. He has always wanted to do this."
The empress raised her eyebrows. "I've never heard of this word before, but it's very appropriate. Now more than half of the resources in the royal city are under their control, and what they are most eager to do now is to occupy the market for magic resources. In this way, they can not only control the economic lifeline of the empire, but also have the ability to train their own warlocks."
Although she, as the emperor, saw all the plans of the aristocrats.
But there is no way to stop it.
Because the nobles are the most powerful force in this country, you can't get around them no matter what you do.
It is said that Valerius Mond is known as the greedy wolf in the business world.
His handwriting reflects his personality; he is an extremely greedy and difficult person to deal with.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this."
Li Xini shrugged: "Uncle Mond is an easy person to deal with."
The empress looked at him suspiciously: "Really? What else can you do?"
This young man seemed to be omnipotent.
"That is not something you need to worry about, Your Majesty."
Licinius smiled in a mysterious way: "Besides, you don't want to know."

In the interrogation room, Tria sat on the chair, panting, her plump breasts rising and falling.
Sweating profusely...
With a click, the iron door was slowly pushed open.
Tria turned her head and saw the smiling boy and the expressionless girl standing at the door.
"What's going on with you?"
Licinius was quite surprised: "If you don't know, you would think you are being interrogated."
Tria felt very aggrieved and said faintly, "Captain, this is because the prisoner is too stubborn. We have tried every possible means but still can't pry out anything useful."
Licinius was happy: "Really?"
He turned and looked at the cross inside the house, only to see the dark elf girl chained to it, her long purple hair stuck to her pale face. She lowered her head so her face couldn't be seen clearly, and her whole body was wet, and she didn't know what was going on.
And her delicate skin was already covered with whip marks.
As if he had suffered humiliation.
However, when Li Xini took a closer look, he was shocked to find that the girl was already Ahegao!
"Fuck! Tria, what on earth did you do to her?"
He was shocked and said, "How could she become like this?"
Tria said aggrievedly, "It was just normal torture, such as water torture and whip-like finger clamping, but she claimed that she would not give in, at least until a beautiful boy like you seduced her, and she would never fall down."
"Seduction? She's thinking a lot. It's obvious that she's playing with you."
Licinius didn't know what to say, so he asked again: "What was her original sin?"
Tria replied: "It's greed!"
Licinius suddenly realized, that's right, it must not be Slaanesh.
The result is exactly the same as in the gray fog.
He turned around, picked up a basin of water, and poured it on the dark elf girl's head!
Liz shuddered on the spot, and yelled as if in a stress reaction: "Don't think I will surrender! Kill me if you dare! Don't give me any chance. Even if you try to sell me to the slave market and make me so evil that I can't be provoked, I will not give up resisting."
She swallowed her saliva, clamped her long and beautiful legs tightly together, and said fiercely: "Come on, face me head-on! I'll show you what a vise is!"
Good man, you must be from Brentanya Heavy Industries.
Li Xini chopped her head with his sword and said expressionlessly, "Don't give me that. You should know what kind of organization you are working for. Since you have been captured, you will definitely be abandoned. The reason why you still refuse to surrender is because you cannot afford the price of betraying the organization."
Liz raised her head and met the boy's dark eyes.
For some reason, she suddenly shuddered, as if she was seen through.
"Normally, people like you would try to commit suicide after being captured. Even if suicide fails, your organization has reasons to believe that you will not betray."
Licinius thought for a moment and said, "You are because of your sister, right?"
Liz: “…”
Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed seen through.
"Do you have any family in the City of Towers?" Licinius asked calmly.
Liz hesitated for a long time, bit her lip and said, "No more..."
She grew up with her younger sister, depending on each other.
That was her closest relative.
"Then you can rest assured. Your sister has been controlled by the people of the Control Bureau. The Night Watchmen are also guarding her. The people in the military can't find her." Li Xini said casually.
Liz was startled and stared at him carefully, her face suddenly filled with horror.
"You, did you predict this in advance, so you injured the military advisor in advance, making it impossible for him to perform divination in a short period of time? How scary, you are really a monster!"
She asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"
If the military advisor also possesses the ability of divination, he can easily calculate the location of his sister.
But now, if what the other party said is true, then my sister is indeed safe.
"Who am I? You should be concerned about yourself right now, right?"
Li Xini smiled and said, "Let me make a deal. As long as you are loyal to me, your sister Laura will be safe and sound, and I will guarantee her safety. As for you, as long as you stay with me, you will not be liquidated by the members of Dawn, and no matter what Dawn gives you, I can offer you a higher price."
This dark elf girl was the first Dawn member he captured.
If we can successfully incite rebellion, it will be of great value for future actions.
Liz: "Why should I believe you? Don't try to lie to me. My night elves will never be slaves!"
Licinius smiled silently: "You don't have the power to choose."
He clapped his hands: "Come in..."
With the sound of footsteps, the night watchmen's servants came in carrying several heavy boxes.
"Uh..." When Liz saw the boxes, her eyes instantly exploded.
Her throat moved and made a desperate and helpless sound.
"You were born in the City of High Towers, but the Inhumans are very poor, especially your Dark Elves. A big part of the reason you joined Dawn was for money. And you, a miser, were reluctant to deposit your money into the Chamber of Commerce because you didn't trust the human currency system at all."
Licinius sighed, "So you put all the money you earned over the years, whether it was copper coins or silver coins, in a box and buried it behind the toilet in your house. Well, it was buried quite deep, at least three meters."
Liz was completely devastated. This was her biggest secret, and she didn't know how it was exposed.
Even under the destruction of mental magic, she didn't say anything.
She didn't know that there were evil gods in this world. With her weak status, a divination could arrange everything for her, and even her last love power generation could be seen clearly.
