Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 237 Sheila is here! Sheila is dead.

As the future mistress of the world, she must help Li De govern the world.

When Alpha thinks of the endless problems, it would be strange if he didn't frown.

After all, Claire's expression is very ugly at the moment. You know, Alpha will only need to frown in the future, but she has to frown now.

But both Claire and Alpha know that if you want a country to run according to your will, you really need patience.

In fact, if there is no slave contract, it is basically impossible to expect a country to be built into the ideal shape in your mind.

After all, there are really limited places that a person can take care of. If you don't believe it, look at history. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't suppress the greed of human nature with such harsh means, let alone expect all officials to do things meticulously according to his will.

In fact, it is unrealistic to expect people who have signed slave contracts to be spread throughout the empire.

The only thing that can be achieved is that the person in charge of each city is a contractor, and then let these people manage the people below, and this is the maximum control that Li De can achieve.

After all, one contractor needs to consume 10 points, and completing a hell-level task can only increase 50 contractors.

For the current empire, if Li De wants to replace all city rulers with contractors, he needs at least 25 contractors.

Counting the future Western Kingdom and Eastern Island Country, at least 25 more people will be needed to barely meet the needs.

If the land that has to be added due to population increase after the people's livelihood is stabilized in the future, the contractor's needs will be a bottomless pit, at least two or three hundred will be needed.

And this is just the world of Zhan Mei. If the shadow world is included, Li De must perform hell-level tasks for a long time just to increase the contractors.

Of course, this doesn't matter to Li De.

After all, the rest time between tasks is so short, and when the time is up, even if you want to be lazy, you can't.

Unless one day we get rid of this mission system, the mission will continue.

And these points must be used to improve strength, but compared to before Li De accepted Miyano Shiho, the frequency of using fusion cards and replacement cards will be greatly reduced.

The extra points can only be used to increase the number of contractors.

So Li De's mentality is very good. After all, there is no point in being anxious, so why worry?

Instead of thinking about those distant things, it is better to deal with the present.

With Li De's comfort, Claire and Alpha looked at each other, and then they both relaxed their frowns.

In fact, they were anxious not because they couldn't bear to see ordinary people living in dire straits, but just because they thought that someone dared to go against their will and they couldn't deal with it immediately.

In the final analysis, they still felt that their face was damaged, but they couldn't fight back in time, so they were very unhappy.

Don't underestimate those who have awakened the domineering color. Domineering king, the word "dominant" comes first, and the word "king" comes second.

Because of his domineering attitude, he does not allow anyone who disobeys him to exist.

This is the root of the two women's frowns.

"Sid, when do you think we should bring our mother here?" Claire asked Li De.

"Let's wait until Shiho completes the optimization plan. After all, the only place we really control is the Jade Palace, and we haven't even completely controlled the imperial capital.

If we bring our mother here now, she will have nowhere to go except to stay in the Jade Palace. After all, she doesn't have enough strength to protect herself. So I think it's better to wait until Shiho has a plan before bringing her here. Anyway, it won't take long." Li De said after thinking about it.

"Then let's decide it this way!" Claire nodded after hearing this.

Although Li De didn't look at Shiho Miyano even once when he was talking to Claire, Shiho Miyano knew in which direction the focus of the next work should be adjusted.

Just one month later, Shiho Miyano drove out the transformation plan for the personnel who had signed the contract but had not undergone blood transformation.

Maria and Alice don't have many choices. After all, they have half of the demon blood, so they can only choose from three blood sources.

One is Alexia, and choosing her will gain healing ability; another is Victoria, and choosing her will gain multiplication ability; and the other is Ipsilon, and choosing her will gain slippery ability.

Because of Maria's special status, Claire has not yet asked her about the slave contract.

In fact, if Claire really wants to ask, Maria will probably not refuse to be a child slave.

But it's useless to ask now, because there is no slave contract available here in Li De.

Because as early as half a month ago, Hei Tong returned to the imperial capital.

When she faced the slave contract given by Zeta, after hearing that she could heal her body and live with her sister Chi Tong, Hei Tong was happy to imprint her soul on it.

After all, Hei Tong has been trained not to disobey the orders of the empire. The previous direct senior management was the "father" who trained them, Goziqi.

After Goziqi was killed by Akame, the leader became Dr. Fashion.

After Dr. Fashion was killed by Zeta, the Imperial Assassination Force was taken over by Zeta and reorganized into the Imperial Guard, and Hei Tong's boss became Zeta.

After personally feeling the despairing aura emanating from Zeta, Hei Tong did not dare to have any idea of ​​resistance.

In fact, the two girls who had a contract with Zeta, whether it was Hei Tong or Selyu, had almost no resistance when facing the slave contract, and were much more straightforward than others.

At least when Fubuki replaced Tornado to contract Hill, she was very depressed by Hill's innocent personality.

Although Maria did not sign the contract, based on her identity, who would dare to treat her as an outsider? What Claire once said could not be applied to Maria.

Miyano Shiho naturally knew that she could not neglect anyone, but she must not neglect Maria and Esdeath.

The former's identity was there, and the latter was the last person who was contracted by Li De himself, which was also special.

Looking back at Maria's choice, it was naturally Ipsilon.

In fact, if Beta had no choice, Beta's mythical beast species would be Maria's favorite.

Isn't it her appearance that older women care about most?

So after knowing the three abilities to choose from, Maria only hesitated between healing and slippery.

When she learned that there were enough healing abilities available to serve her at any time, Maria chose the slippery ability without hesitation.

Her choice was exactly the same as Alice's. In fact, if Alice were to choose, she would prefer the multiplication ability.

But who is the master? Alexia, so Alice can only choose Ipsilon's slippery ability.

Except for the two of them who came from the shadow world, the other three contractors are natives of the sister-killing world.

Compared with the three choices they only have, the three contractors behind have a lot more choices.

It can be said that except for the blood of Reed and Claire, they will not use it, they can choose the blood of everyone else.     It's just that the elemental blood of Alpha, Gamma and Zeta cannot be elementalized even if they are chosen, so there is no value in choosing.

"So, whose blood did you choose as your template?" Reed asked Esdeath who was teleported back to the imperial capital.

"Master, after communicating with Shiho, I chose Tornado's bloodline as my template." Esdeath answered very straightforwardly.

After all, she had already received the notice of bloodline transformation, and even the object of choice had been told to her long ago, so that she could consider it first.

"Use Tornado's?" This answer really surprised Li De.

After all, strictly speaking, Tornado's bloodline is second-hand.

However, Tornado is better than Victoria in choosing the multiplication ability, which is her brain structure.

Obviously, Esdeath is interested in telekinesis.

"I personally think that telekinesis has great potential, whether it is used for offense or defense, or for torture." Esdeath is very honest, and the heat in her eyes is not concealed at all.

"Okay, since you have decided so, then let's do as you wish." Li De expressed his respect for Esdeath's decision.

"Thank you, Master!" Esdeath said immediately.

In fact, she still had a small request in her heart, but she didn't raise it in the end.

That is, when she is adapting to her new body, she hopes that Delta can be her sparring partner.

However, she didn't mention it because she just came and her status is a bit far from that of an old man like Delta.

"What about you?" When meeting Esdeath, Li De called the other contractors.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zeta said that I can only choose Lord Beta's bloodline." Hei Tong spoke first.

"I am looking forward to it! What about you, Sailu?" Li De said with a smile.

After all, it is obvious why Zeta asked Hei Tong to choose Beta's mythical beast bloodline. Isn't it because he saw that Hei Tong's appearance has the potential to grow into a top beauty?

"Lord Zeta, I choose Lord Delta's bloodline." Sailu said immediately.

"Delta, it's not bad either. What about you, Hill?" Li De continued to ask.

"Lord Fubuki asked me to choose Lord Ipsilon's bloodline. Lord Fubuki thinks that the ability of slippery is the best match for me." Hill answered in a leisurely tone.

Hill's answer was within Reed's expectations. After all, Hill's cute temperament was not suitable for Beta's ability.

The remaining options were nothing more than the blood of Ipsilon or Alexia.

Who said that Delta's ability to shake the shock was very low priority in Fubuki and Tornado.

"I see, but Fubuki was right. You and Slippery really match each other." Reed just said this, suddenly stopped, and then looked in one direction.

"Master, what's wrong?" Esdeath asked Reed.

"The long-awaited little mouse is finally here." Reed smiled and said.

"Little mouse, it's the minister's son Sheila." Esdeath heard from others that why Reed kept Ernest and didn't kill him until now.

"It's him, but he surprised me a little." Reed shook his head and said.

"Master, why is this?" Esdeath was a little puzzled. After all, she didn't have the strength to sense the situation inside the Jade Palace, so she could only rely on asking.

"Because the number of people he brought exceeded my imagination." Li De chuckled.

Yes, it was beyond Li De's imagination. After all, in Li De's opinion, there shouldn't be many people willing to accompany him to die, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few people.

Not only were all the members of the Wild Hounds present, but Sheila also brought some extra personnel.

Among them was the modified test product left by Dr. Fashion on an island in the south.

However, this big guy was kneaded into a ball by Fubuki as soon as he appeared through the dimensional square array, turning into a meatball in the physical sense.

"Are there a lot of people?" Esdeath continued to ask.

"No matter how many there are, they are just a mob." Li De said disdainfully.

"That's right!" Esdeath nodded immediately.

After all, she didn't think that the people brought by Sheila could escape from Fubuki's palm.

Not to mention that there are several captains of the Shadow Thirteen Team left in the Emerald Palace at this moment.

The only thing that is uncertain is how long they can last.

And the answer that Esdeath was concerned about was obtained ten seconds later.

That's right, after Sheila teleported the people over, it took less than ten seconds for the whole army to be wiped out.

After all, facing the telekinesis of Fubuki that was blessed by Tornado, the few people Sheila brought were really not enough, and it was over before it even started.

"It's over! Fubuki is really, at least let Sheila and the others play a little, it's a rare opportunity to watch the show." Li De shook his head and said.

"Uh" The women standing in front of Li De were speechless at this moment.

Najeshitan was also speechless. Although she had already seen the scene when Tornado used telekinesis, she was still shocked when she saw it again.

Even though the power displayed by Fubuki at this moment was not very strong, for Najeshitan and other people who saw telekinesis for the first time, they were only shocked at this moment.

"Your Majesty, after catching Sheila, you can execute Ernest." Selyu was more concerned about this, after all, her justice would not tolerate any sand.

After knowing that Ernest was the source of the darkness in the imperial capital, especially her father was murdered by Ernest's men because he was in the way, if Zeta hadn't suppressed her with the contract, she would have rushed to the prison and chopped Ernest into several pieces and fed him to the dogs.

You have to know that she was carrying the biological dog-shaped imperial weapon, the monster transformation [Hundred-handed Giant], so this feeding the dogs was definitely literal.

Although she failed to kill Ernest, she chopped her master Oka, who murdered her father and mother, to death and fed her to Xiao Ke, who was holding her, which was quite dramatic.

I guess Oka didn't expect that there would be a day when he would raise a tiger to cause trouble. After all, in his opinion, Selyu was just a kitten that could be controlled at any time.

Who would have thought that after Selyu got the power given to her by Zeta through the contract legend, the kitten instantly turned into a fierce tigress, and then swallowed him in one bite.
