Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 110: Claire was accepted.

After Alexia left, Li De prepared for a while and then teleported himself back to the Barony of Kageno, and then came to a place in the forest according to Claire's location.

"Sid, you're back!" Li De heard Claire's surprised voice as soon as he appeared.

"Well, I'm done, so I came back." Li De nodded.

After circling Li De and confirming that Li De was not injured, Claire asked again: "Is everything going well?"

"No surprises, by the way, sister, this is a gift for you!" Li De handed the bag to Claire after he finished speaking.

"Is this a shirt woven with mithril?" Claire opened the bag and took out the shirt inside and found something wrong.

After all, this kind of metal-textured shirt cannot be so light, so there is only one answer left, that is, the metal used to weave the shirt is pure mithril.

"Well, it's a mithril shirt, which I got from the ruins this time." Li De nodded and said.

"Keep it for yourself." Claire immediately planned to return it.

Although she was very happy that her brother finally got the hang of giving her a gift, Claire could see the value of the mithril shirt at a glance.

That's why she didn't plan to take it.

"I already have it!" Li De said after taking off his tie, unbuttoning his shirt, and pulling open his shirt to reveal the mithril inside.

"I already have it, then I'll take it." With a slight blush, Claire took back her hand holding the bag, and then took out the mithril shirt and gently stroked it.

"Sister, I've already talked to Alexia. You will take a car to the capital tomorrow, and she will arrange it." Li De said immediately.

Hearing this, Claire frowned and opened her mouth slightly, as if she was going to say something, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at Li De with a little sadness and a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction.

Looking at Claire's eyes, Li De was slightly stunned.

Because this look is a little wrong!

Wait

Li De suddenly remembered that when they were talking in the courtyard a few days ago, his cheap sister Claire's eyes seemed to be a little strange.

Then Li De recalled the scenes of getting along with Claire before.

Then he finally confirmed one thing. After accepting Sid Kageno, he was influenced by his memory and forgot that this cheap sister in front of him seemed to be a serious brother control.

After remembering Claire's character in the original book, Li De realized what he had overlooked before.

Then let's try it!

Reaching out and pressing Claire's shoulders, Li De whispered: "Sister, don't be angry. In fact, I also want to be with my sister for the rest of my life."

"Sid, you. I. am not angry!" Li De, who was very surprised when Claire heard this, then his face instantly turned red, and then he said hesitantly.

It's indeed a brother control!

After confirming this, Li De carefully looked at this cheap sister who had never paid attention to before.

The appearance value of 93 went straight up to 95 with the bonus of the emotional blush. The black hair hanging down her back like silk seemed to remind Li De not to forget the attribute bonus of long black hair.

Looking down, although I didn’t measure the curvy curves myself, based on my accumulated experience, the data should be about 90 (32E)/58/93. The thighs were slightly oozing with sweat and were tender and straight. With a height of 170cm, she looked even more slender. Although the jade feet hidden by the long boots could not be seen, it was definitely the favorite of LSP who played with legs.

In general, it was even better than Alexia by one point in terms of appearance.

Well, it couldn’t be more, after all, Alexia also had the attribute bonus of silver hair and twin ponytails, which was at the same level as Rose’s golden hair and long black hair.

“Sid…” Li De suddenly heard Claire’s subtle voice.

“What’s wrong, my dear sister?” Li De came back to his senses and asked.

"I'm happy that you look at me like this, but I'm very shy!" Claire could certainly feel Reed's serious gaze, and she couldn't help but lower her head slightly while speaking.

Even if Reed couldn't see the shy expression on Claire's face at this moment, his blushing cheeks also explained Claire's expression at the moment.

"Does sister like me?" Reed suddenly asked.

"Yes, I like Sid the most." Claire raised her head and said seriously.

"Really?" Reed continued to ask.

"Really!" Claire nodded vigorously and affirmed.

"Sister, you have to prove it to me, then I will believe it." Reed said in an inexplicable tone.

"Hey, prove... How can I prove it to Sid to believe it?" Claire asked Reed back.

"This is the ancient artifact I got from the ruins. Sister, you have to sign it, then I will believe it." Reed reached behind his back, exchanged a slave contract, and then brought it in front of him.

"This is... a slave contract." Although the scroll in front of Claire was not opened, the special power emitted by the scroll made Claire understand everything about the contract.

"I want you to be mine, are you willing?" Li De took a half step forward and spoke in Claire's ear in a soft voice that tried to change the subject.

"I do!" Claire took the scroll and imprinted her soul on it according to the information she got, saying in a barely audible voice.

"Sister really loves me the most!" Li De said and hugged Claire.

If Li De and Claire had a real blood relationship, they wouldn't have to test and do this.

But now Li De and Claire really have no blood relationship at all.

Before he got the artificial fantasy beast species, Li De couldn't be sure, but after getting it and even changing the race, Li De could be sure that he had no blood relationship with Claire at all.

"Well, I like my dear Sid the most." Claire's voice was much more relaxed after signing the slave contract.

Reaching out and lifting Claire's chin, Li De kissed her gently.

From the initial awkwardness to the fierce response, and then to the rapid breathing and separation, Claire's face was now filled with a happy expression.

"My Claire is so cute." Li De couldn't help but say as he looked at Claire who was panting slightly.

"Sid."

Claire's eyes were dazed, as if she had not yet recovered from the kiss of love. Her voice was more of an unconscious moan.

"My lovely sister, I have a reward for you!" Li De spoke again after seeing the confusion in Claire's eyes fade away.

"Reward?" Claire couldn't help but reveal an expression of expectation in her eyes.

It was a pity that the reward Li De gave was far from what she expected at the moment.

When Li De took the bag containing the mithril shirt, he took a lava rock that looked a bit like the lava formed by the cooling of the erupted magma.

After pulling Claire to another uninhabited wilderness, Li De turned his hand and a fusion card appeared in his hand.

[Scanned the item Flame Demon Heart. Do you want to fuse it? ]

[Yes/No]

Li De chose yes.

After Li De chose this time, there was no pop-up window of [Please specify the fusion object!]

Instead, the card turned into a stream of light and shot into the heart of the Flame Demon. After instantly dissolving the Flame Demon's heart, it entered Claire's body through her hand.

The next second, a strong and hot magic breath beyond Reed's imagination rose into the sky.

Accompanying this magic breath was a pungent smell of sulfur.

This movement was quite loud!

After a few breaths, when the strange vision surrounding Claire disappeared, she opened her eyes.

"Sid, what happened to me just now?" Claire couldn't help asking.

"It's a good thing!" Reed answered while looking at the panel.

Name: Claire Kageno

Race: Demon

Bloodline: Fire Demon

Strength: Lv.1 SSS 1199

Durability: Lv.1 SSS 1199

Skills: Lv.1 I 0

Agility: Lv.1 I 0

Magic: Lv.1 SSS 1199

Shadow: SSS

Magic: Shadow Magic

Skill: Control Fire

Score: 630

Sure enough, the shadow magic that caught Li De off guard was also passed down.

In fact, Claire got a bargain this time and joined the queue.

You should know that when Li De used the Arkenstone on Delta, he could take out the Fire Demon Heart for others to fuse.

The reason why it was not taken out is that Beta, Ipsilon and Ita of the elves are not suitable, and although Zeta and Victoria are not elves, the Fire Demon Heart is not suitable for them.

After all, Zeta's abilities are suitable for assassins and spies, and Victoria, who came from the church, Li De always felt that the blood of the devil was not suitable. In addition, there was the problem of internal ranking.

There was no need to divide the seven shadows so clearly, but the seven shadows, Elizabeth and Victoria, must be paid attention to. Elizabeth had a reason at the beginning, so Li De still had to take into account the feelings of the seven shadows when he came to Victoria.

That's why the Heart of the Flame Demon was temporarily left behind, and it was used on Claire. After all, as Li De's nominal cheap sister, she didn't have to worry about the ranking.

"Sid, I feel much stronger!" Claire said after feeling it.

The next second, with the flames rising from Claire's body, Claire's clothes burned first.

"Ah!" In an instant, Claire's voice penetrated the sky above the wilderness.

Claire squatted with her arms folded across her chest and looked at Li De with a red face.

"It's right to become stronger, but my lovely sister, at least wait for me to tell you that you have acquired the ability before you use it." Li De said with a smile on his face.     "Sid, what should we do now, and once we use magic in the future." Claire couldn't say any more.

"It doesn't matter, this is actually a control problem after the sudden increase in strength. There will be no problem once you get used to it. As for the clothes, this is for you!" Li De grabbed a ball of slime and handed it to Claire, and then taught her how to control the mimicry.

In fact, in Li De's opinion, the burning flames on the surface of the fire demon's body, except for being scary, have no defensive effect at all, which is a complete waste of magic.

Therefore, as long as it is well controlled, it can be completely avoided.

Under Li De's guidance, Claire spent a long time to master the mimicry control of the slime.

Then Li De took Claire back to the Barony of Kagenor.

At this moment, the sunset in the sky had just disappeared on the ground.

When they returned home and saw their son coming back, Nix and Maria's eyes suddenly lit up.

Resisting the urge to ask questions, the few of them had dinner slowly, and then Li De and Claire were pulled to the back yard by the couple.

After Li De nodded, indicating that no one was eavesdropping around, Nix hurriedly asked: "Son, what's the matter with you coming back?"

When he went to the Lord of the Rings world before, Li De told Claire that he was going to explore the ruins, and asked Claire to tell Nix and Maria that he was going to find Alexia.

As for what to do with Alexia, the couple thought it must be nothing more than one thing, that is, to cultivate feelings.

And young people are addicted, and they must miss each other after not seeing each other for a while.

Logically speaking, Li De's previous departure should be regarded as returning to the academy in advance.

But Li De came back three days later, which made Nix and Maria think about it.

"There are two things to do when I come back this time. The first is about my sister. Alexia has already decided. Tomorrow, my sister can take a car to the capital. After meeting Alexia, she will send an invitation to hold a tea party, and then introduce my sister to her social circle as her trusted guard." Li De said slowly.

"This is a good thing." Maria on the side couldn't help but say happily.

Because after the implementation, in the eyes of the outside world, the Kageno family can be regarded as truly climbing up the high branch of the royal family.

After all, the relationship between Alexia and her son must be concealed, so it cannot be brought out.

Therefore, after their daughter Claire was introduced by the second princess, the Kageno family was considered to have a relationship with the royal family.

"What about the second thing?" Compared with the things that have been decided, Nix is ​​more concerned about this thing that may be unplanned.

"The second thing is about my sister's marriage partner. Alexia hopes that my sister can find a noble family from the border for marriage." Li De said slowly.

"A noble family from the border?" Nix frowned when he heard it.

Because the border families have a common feature, that is, the titles are generally low.

Let's put it this way, Viscount Olba, who had captured Claire before, is considered a border noble with a top title.

"Yes, because Alexia wants to use this to show one thing, that is, she has no intention of competing with her sister Alice for power." Li De nodded and explained.

"This is also good. After all, the higher the title of the marriage partner's family, the more difficult Claire's situation will be in the future." Maria immediately spoke up, and while speaking, she pinched Nix beside her with her hand.

"Since Princess Alexia has spoken, I naturally won't object." Nix was actually a little reluctant. You know, this is a rare opportunity to expand the family's network.

"Father, as mother said, this is a good thing for my sister. There is one thing I haven't said yet, that is, Alexia has decided not to increase the number of guards except for my sister." Li De also persuaded.

"No more personnel? What about the guards you mentioned before? What about the position of head of the guards promised to Claire?" Nix asked in shock.

"No more!" Li De spread his hands and said.

"Why?!" Nix asked puzzledly.

"My dear son, stop teasing this bald man." Maria's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

"Hey, I know mother, I will tell you what happened." Li De nodded quickly.

"In short, after Alexia and Princess Alice explained it, the nobles of the royal faction spread the word that the second princess's guards should have faction members." Li De paused and said again.

"You mean, someone will snatch Claire's position as the leader in the future?" Nix was not stupid. He understood the situation as soon as he heard it.

"That's right. If the guard group is forcibly formed, then the sister who has made meritorious service and obtained the title can only get the baron title at most. Compared with the descendants of the earl and marquis, there is a huge difference in status. Even if the other party may not have the right of inheritance, he can still rely on his family background to take away the position of the leader of the guard group." Li De nodded and said.

"Son, how does Princess Alexia plan to solve this problem?" Maria asked immediately.

"It's very simple. Let the pro-Alexia Chamber of Commerce form it. With the sister's title, it is more than enough to lead a chamber of commerce guard. Even if this guard team may reach full strength or even more, it is only a chamber of commerce guard. As long as there is no direct contact with Alexia, the nobles of the royal faction want to reach out, and they must agree with the people of the chamber of commerce." Li De said with a faint smile.

"But I'm afraid the people in the Chamber of Commerce won't be able to withstand the pressure!" Maria was not as optimistic as Li De after hearing this.

"No problem. As long as there is a layer of relationship, Alexia can insist that the Chamber of Commerce got in touch with her because of her sister. As long as she doesn't show up, the nobles belonging to the royal faction will never take action directly. As for people from other factions, unless they intend to confront Alexia, they will not put pressure on the Chamber of Commerce in public.

As for the means in secret, there is no need to worry. Whoever dares to reach out will be chopped off. If there is really a problem that cannot be solved, I can still solve the person who created the problem. After all, I even made Geno Gulifi disappear, and the same goes for others." Li De said confidently.

"Son, it is better not to use this method unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, the great nobles will not use evidence when doing things. If they think it is, they will take action, especially when dealing with border nobles like us." Nix shook his head when he heard it, because he knew the style of those arrogant bastards too well.

"Father, I am definitely inferior to you in political means, but with the help of force, I can sweep everything. So if you don't make a move, it's fine. If you make a move, you won't give the other party any chance to fight back." Li De shook his head and said.

In fact, after killing Geno Gulifi, Li De also thought about uprooting the Gulifi family.

But the reason why he didn't take action later was mainly because the Gulifi family was connected to the Diabolos Cult.

Once it was pulled out, it was like breaking a line.

It was because it was convenient for the Shadow Court to find out that other members of the Gulifi family were let go.

Otherwise, Li De would have led the Shadow Court to create the biggest missing case in the capital.

After listening to Li De's words, Nix didn't say anything, but nodded.

Because when you really want to seize your own interests, this method of cutting the grass and uprooting the roots can be used.

When he said that before, he completely subconsciously forgot Li De's strength, brought in the inertial thinking of the nobles, and put himself on the side of the weak.

"Let's stop discussing this matter here." Maria took the initiative to stop the topic. After all, there was no need to discuss it in detail.

"Claire, do you have any ideas about the marriage partner?" Nix turned his head and looked at his daughter and asked.

As for his meaning, it was to let Claire choose within a limited range.

"Let's talk about this matter after I meet Princess Alexia." Claire shook her head and said.

"That's good, then let's stop talking tonight. You should rest early. You still have to go to the capital tomorrow!" Maria took over the topic and said.

"Okay, mother!" Claire nodded and got up and returned to the room.

"Sid, was it Alexia that bitch who proposed the marriage?" Claire asked Li De in her mind through the contract.

The reason why Claire called Alexia a bitch was mainly because Claire was very unhappy that she had robbed her beloved brother of his first time.

"No, actually she didn't know what I mentioned, but I will explain it to her later." Li De denied this statement.

"Sid, I..." Claire was interrupted by Li De just when she said this.

"Sister, the marriage of noble children is a very normal thing, and you and I can't avoid it. I know what you want to say, so don't worry, I won't let other men touch you." Li De knew what Claire was anxious about, so he comforted her.

"That's good, then how to solve this problem?" Claire asked again.

"Isn't this a very simple thing? As long as the fiancé is killed on the night of the engagement. If one doesn't work, then a few more will die. I think other nobles will be very taboo after that." Since Li De took the initiative to mention Claire's marriage, he already had a plan.

"Sid, will this work?" Claire frowned and asked.

"This is why I chose the border nobles. The family's title is not high. Even if the marriage partner dies, you can only accept it. Don't try to use this matter to make any trouble later." This is why Li De took the initiative to limit Claire's marriage partner to a family with a low title.

"Then how to deal with the marriage partner?" Claire continued to ask.

"Aren't you going to expand the territory and attack the orc tribe later? This is a good excuse. When the matter is completed, as long as you spread a little bit of your brutal suppression during the expansion, then it is natural for the survivors to come to you for revenge.

Then the survivor happened to be a female orc, and you just happened to kill her fiancé. When she couldn't beat you, she could only kill your fiancé to vent her anger. And this is the script about the marriage. How about it, are you satisfied?" Li De asked.

"This plan is reasonable, but it will inevitably destroy the relationship between the marriage families. Sid, do you have any good way to deal with this?" Claire continued to ask.

"Of course, I have already thought of the list of potential victims for your engagement." Li De said with confidence.

"Who?" Claire asked curiously.

"The first one is Yu Luo, and the second one is Jaka! So, these two guys deserve to die!" Li De asked Claire.

"They both really deserve to die, even covered with thousands of cuts. But..." Claire's hatred for these two guys is second only to Alexia, who almost took away her brother.

Because if it weren't for these two, my dear brother would never have had any contact with that bitch.

"It's just that it's very abnormal to marry them, right!" Li De took over the topic.

"Yes, especially after the death, it will be very suspicious." Claire nodded.

"My dear sister, it's not suspicious, because in this matter, from beginning to end, you are a victim." Li De smiled and explained.

"I am a victim?" Claire asked a little surprised.
