Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

The two returned to the study through the teleportation array. Hersius took back the illusion, and Xixiumi hugged the black cat and collapsed on the soft seat.

"Finally back." He sighed, "This trip to the half-orc country has been fruitful, and it is really worthwhile."

Hersius smiled slightly, looked at the time, and said before it was two o'clock, "I'll ask the chef to prepare afternoon tea, sir, are you hungry?"

After all the tossing in the temple, Xixiumi almost digested all the food he ate in the food street. Hearing this, he felt a little empty in his stomach, and replied, "It's a little bit."

Hersius turned around, and Xixiumi suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, butler, take out the dried meat I bought from Horwood, I want to eat it with afternoon tea."

"Yes, my lord," said Hersius fondly, and left.

Seeing the black cat sleeping soundly in his arms, Xixiumi began to think about how to arrange this little guy.

Although the Beast God said that he fled because he was bored with the life of the royal family, but after all, he is the second prince of the Beastman Kingdom, who is loved by thousands of people. How could he really be treated as a pet or even a mount? This is too absurd.

Xi Xiumi considered how to take care of Alex in the future, and provided him with a comprehensive education, but before that, he had to ask His Royal Highness if he was willing to stay, as the beast god said.

It's so troublesome, let Hersius handle it, anyway, he is an almighty angel.

Xi Xiumi thought about it all the way, carried Alex back to the bedroom, made a warm and comfortable nest with a blanket next to the bed, and carefully put the black cat in it.

Because Bistrom's divine power still remained, the black cat turned over comfortably, got into the blanket, rolled into a ball, and continued to sleep soundly with its small head in its arms.

The nest is filled with the smell of Xixiumi, Alex seems to be immersed in the galaxy, greedily absorbing the breath of the gods in his sleep, and purring from time to time, Xixiumi gently rubbed his little ears, and turned his head Leaving the corner of his mouth.

After afternoon tea, Xi Xiumi returned to the study and began to deal with tedious business, while Hersius went to deal with the chores of the manor. The two performed their duties, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.

By looking through the accounts, Xixiumi found that the turnover of many stores under his name had recently plummeted, so he began to analyze the reasons.

Now that winter is coming, the temperature is plummeting, the nobles have always been delicate, and the fireplace was lit early, the cat warmed up at home, or had a carnival around the fireplace, in short, they became lazy and reluctant to go out.

This directly led to a decline in overall consumption, especially in family businesses like Xixiumi, which mainly cater to high-end customers, so compared with the past, the turnover has dropped significantly.

Although Xi Xiumi's desire for money is not strong, even if the business shrinks, the current income is enough for his daily needs, but after all, it is the industry created by the hard work of his original parents. As a responsible person, he still wants to achieve Do your duty, not let it go.

That's too delicious and lazy, he doesn't want to be a prodigal son of a dandy nobleman.

I have to find a way to make up for it, Xi Xiumi pondered in his heart, such as holding a winter sale, or launching an attractive new product, and so on.

Xi Xiumi was holding a gemstone fountain pen, writing and drawing on the paper, frowning from time to time in thought, and at this moment, His Highness the Black Cat woke up.

Alex opened his golden cat eyes and looked around ignorantly. The power of the Beast God left a memory in his mind. He quickly understood the cause and effect, and knew that the Beast God ordered him to stay and accompany this dreamer. Lord.

Far away from his homeland and coming to a strange manor, and having a new owner, Alex is not sad at all, on the contrary, he is very happy.

Even though the Beast God did not explain the origin of the Lord of Dreams, Alex was a civet cat. With his own talent to communicate with the gods, he vaguely felt that this unknown god possessed great power.

Although the power crushed everything, it didn't make him afraid. On the contrary, he was very nostalgic. Alex sniffed the smell in the room, and narrowed his cat's eyes in comfort.

Uh... that's the breath.

Great, gentle, tolerant, peaceful...

Thinking of being able to snuggle up next to this god day and night, and being able to escape the cruel and high-pressure royal lessons, Alex felt that it was raining like rain, and he was very lucky.

The black cat got up from the nest, stretched a standard cat-like lazy waist, and then sat upright, gracefully raised its front paws, licked them wet with its red tongue, and cleaned itself from head to toe.

Later, when he was going to see the Lord God, he had to clean himself up so as not to lose his royal demeanor.

After cleaning, Alex quietly slipped out of the bedroom on catwalks, stopped in the empty corridor for a moment, followed the smell left by Xi Xiumi, and successfully found the study.

The door of the study room was closed tightly, but this did not bother His Royal Highness, he pushed the door open with his buttocks, and was about to sneak in, when one hand grabbed the back of his neck, he was picked up.

"Little thing, what are you doing sneaking around?" Hersius held the black cat and said seriously, "Who told you to come here, huh?"

"Meow!" Alex wailed, struggled, and shouted in animal language: "Let go of me, meow!"

Hersius seemed to understand, his red eyes froze, and he said with a straight face, "Be good, and stay by your side like a cat."

Feeling the coercion of the fallen angel, Alex instantly calmed down, his bright cat eyes widened, looked at the angel, and said obediently: "Meow!"

"Put him down, Angel." Xi Xiumi frowned, "You're making him very uncomfortable."

Alex OS: Meow, that's right!

"No, my lord." Hersius lifted the black cat high, stared at the little guy, and said with a smile, "This is how you should handle a cat."

"Nonsense, obviously he likes to be hugged." Xi Xiumi retorted.

"Well, as long as there is an adult, you can hug him." Hersius said, "I can't treat him like this again, otherwise the little guy will be spoiled."

Alex:"…………"

Xi Xiumi was noncommittal to the angel's fallacies, and said speechlessly: "Put him down first, and be careful that he gets angry and scratches you."

"How could it be, my lord." Hersius laughed. "Even the beast god Pistum would not dare to do anything wrong to me, let alone this young civet."

"That's true. I probably worry too much." Xixiumi laughed. "When offering sacrifices to the temple, the beast god is really afraid of you."

Black Cat OS: Huh?hmmmm?

What?Angels are so powerful?

God, what cat shit luck am I having! ?

The angel who crushed the beast god, and the god who surpassed the angel! ?

Alex was ecstatic, and suddenly felt that the little fish dry rain had turned into a small fish dry tornado-as long as he stayed here and studied, he would definitely accomplish a lot in the future!

After all, Hersius still put Alex down gently, and the black cat rushed towards Xihumi impatiently as soon as its four paws landed on the ground.

He had to take a closer look at the appearance of the lord of the dream and engrave him firmly in his mind.

However, before Alex approached, a trace of gray mist rushed out from the corner and burrowed into his nose. Sleepiness surged in an instant. As soon as the black cat got close to the desk, it fell down and fell into a deep sleep again.

Xi Xiumi was in the blind corner of his sight, so he didn't see it, but the angel had a panoramic view of this scene.

The corner of Hersius' mouth twitched, thinking that these sycophants have really strange brain circuits.

The angel guessed that the mist probably thought that Alex had just arrived and had not yet become a faithful believer of Xixiu Mi, so he was not entitled to see his appearance.

Hersius sneered at the dog-legged behavior of the mist, but he didn't bother to care about it, as long as it didn't hinder him from getting along with Xixiu Mi, he was free to mess around with these idiots.

"Huh? Why did you fall asleep again?" Xi Xiumi lowered his head, saw the black cat curled up on the carpet, and said in surprise, "It was obviously alive and kicking just now."

"Maybe it's because of my childhood." Hersius said nonsense, "I was exhausted from walking from the bedroom to the study."

Xi Xiumi's mouth twitched: "This is too exaggerated, is it far from the bedroom to the study?"

Just as the angel was about to defend himself, Xixiumi suddenly reacted and asked, "Wait, butler, how did you know that I put the little Highness in the bedroom?"

Hersius: "..."

In fact, for the sake of Xi Xiumi's safety, Hersius has used the power of angels since the day he entered the manor to set up surveillance in every corner, including the bedroom.

After all, Xixiumi just came to the dream palace consciously, and his body was still sleeping in the manor. The angel must take precautions against this and protect his human body.

Of course, he respects Xixiu Mi very much, so he will not spy on the privacy of his sweetheart. As for those pictures that are not suitable for children, he dare not peek at them.

Anyway, Xixiu Mi will be his sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.

Seeing that the angel was silent, Xixiumi thought for a while, his mind lit up, and he said calmly: "Well, I understand, it's the power of an angel! Anyway, you say that every time, it's mysterious, forget it, I don't bother to know."

Hersius heaved a sigh of relief, thankfully Xi Xiumi didn't get to the bottom of it, otherwise he really couldn't figure out how to explain it.

Xi Xiumi returned to work, and the angel quietly accompanied him. Seeing the boy frowning, it seemed that something was bothering him.

"My lord, do you encounter any difficulties?" Hersius asked softly, "Why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you."

Xi Xiumi put down her pen, leaned against the back of the chair, sighed heavily, and told the angel about the turnover dive, and also talked about her coping strategies and concerns.

After Hersius heard this, he made up his mind that the second princess, Firmia, was planning to subvert the royal family and needed a lot of gold coins. It would be a good idea to get her to cooperate with his lord.

"My lord, I have a proposal," said the angel.

Xi Xiumi said: "Let's listen."

Hersius said: "We can cooperate with the second princess Firmia."

Firmia?

Xi Xiumi was startled, remembering that she was also his guest. He once visited the Palace of Dreams and bought a wedding dress. At that time, he didn't know the identity of the other party. Ermia is just a noblewoman.

"Cooperate with the princess?!" Xi Xiumi shook her head and vetoed: "It doesn't seem appropriate. I just want to do some promotions, or launch new products to drive consumption. How can I cooperate with her? Can't two people partner to open a new store?"

"Of course not." Hersius suggested, "It's very simple, we can launch new products under the banner of the second princess."

"Firmia enjoys the reputation of the most beautiful woman in the country. The female nobles all love her appearance and her taste. If everyone knows that the second princess participated in the research and development of the new product, they will naturally flock to her. We only need to pay the second princess to endorse her. Fees are enough, and both parties get what they need.”

"Will Firmia be short of this endorsement fee?" Xi Xiumi questioned, "She is the second princess of Itenity, how can she condescend to promote new products for me?"

"My lord, have you forgotten?" Hersius said, "Because of the marriage, the second princess has been forced to leave the royal family semi-independently. At present, her salary is pitifully small, and she needs to earn more gold coins by herself. .”

Of course Xixiumi knew it, and he even remembered that it was precisely because of this that Firmia went to the Dream Palace—hoping to change her fate of being at the mercy of others, and to gain respect and the right to speak in the family.

"I still think it's inappropriate." Xixiumi said, "If I really want to do this, I will definitely have to meet the second princess, but I don't want to step into the royal territory, it makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"Let her come to see you." Hersius said disapprovingly.

"Is this unlikely?" Xixiumi said, "For no reason, why did the second princess come to see me?"

Just as Hersius was about to speak, Xixiumi said, "I'll talk about this later. Now that Firmia is mentioned, I suddenly want to know whether she has gotten what she wanted after getting the wedding dress."

"Back then, I just sold a sachet to the witch hunter at will, causing her to almost lose her life. Second Princess, please don't do this again. Wouldn't I be harming people instead of helping them?"

"No problem." Hersius smiled, "Let's summon the Dream Palace now to see if this poor princess needs help from my god."

Xixiu Min nodded, then closed his eyes, and familiarly summoned the shrunken version of the dream palace. Hersius used it to monitor the crystal ball, and the picture slowly unfolded.

In the spacious and spacious bedroom, the curtains were closed tightly, and the luxurious crystal lamp cast a dim light. Firmia was sitting at the desk, her long golden hair scattered around her waist, her brows were furrowed, and she was concentrating on writing something.

Xi Xiumi controlled the crystal ball with his thoughts, and the picture was focused on the paper. There were dense plans and a few huge characters on it, and a scary skull was painted next to it.

—Kill Redthorpe!

Xi Xiumi: "..."

Red Thorpe is the cardinal archbishop of the Church of Light, and the most trusted priest of King Itenity. He has been in and out of the palace all the year round, and his status is extremely noble.

Xi Xiumi's face twitched, his heart was really evil, why do all my guests have enmity with the Guangming Church?

"Angel, I think Firmia is risking her life." Xi Xiumi worried, "Kill the cardinal? Does she have the ability? Don't be like a witch hunter again, almost dead."

"Of course, my lord." The angel comforted, "The ability you bestowed on Firmia is enough to make her wish come true."

Hersius wasn't talking nonsense, he was well aware of Firmia's current changes.

Now Firmia has the power of mirror images, which is a dark witchcraft that angels have never seen before, and can kill people thousands of miles away, which is far weirder and more threatening than the witcher's dream regression.

The two of them paid attention to the crystal ball at the same time, and at this moment, the mist hiding in the black cat's body began to whisper.

"He needs Firmia to take the initiative to discuss cooperation."

"Yes, we have to keep this in mind and tell our colleagues when we go back later."

"Do what He wants, this is our current strategy."

"Yes! Go back and hold a meeting immediately to discuss what to do to satisfy Him."

The Mists finally found another chance to serve Xixiumi and make up for their mistakes, so as to safely transition to the next long era.
