A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Veronica believes that Ansudora deserves someone better than herself, and she will find someone more suitable than her sister.

"You won, Lissie," Veronica finally said. "After the matter of the city that never sleeps is over, I will promise you to be baptized. Is that okay?"

Cloris embraced the succubus, put her ears on Veronica's arms, and asked softly, "Will you deceive me?"

Veronica didn't answer, but stroked the girl's black hair and asked: "What about you? Will your love allow me to lie a little bit?" Seeing that Cloris didn't answer, Veronica Hugging her delicate body even tighter, "I love you, Cloris..."

Silence, and, dim silence.

But the body temperature of the two has the light and warmth of early summer.

"Veronica." Cloris said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"I love you."

"..." Veronica hugged tighter, at this moment, she didn't want to do extra things.

After a long time, Cloris asked: "Although I know this is very unpleasant, but I think every time you come to me, there must be something important..."

Veronica let her go, tilted her head slightly playful and full of aftertaste, and said with a relaxed smile: "Who made you win my heart every time I see it?"

"Could it be that you haven't seen a more suitable woman than me for so many years in the deep world?"

"No."

"Then..." Cloris clasped Veronica's five fingers tightly, stood on tiptoe, raised her chin to look up at the succubus, she brushed her forehead hair back, and pressed the succubus against the office with exchanging breaths. Looking at the edge of the table, his eyes were fierce, "How about this?"

"Not much more." Veronica smiled gently.

"Then you should improve your self-control," Cloris let go of her, sat back in the chair, put a pair of little feet on Veronica's lap, "speak seriously."

Veronica kneaded Cloris's toes, separated the gaps between the toes through the pantyhose, and said: "When I was in Liberty Square recently, I found that some refugees had a very strange mental state—they were like He was hypnotized, but he was extraordinarily awake on the outside, and I didn't see any dead people on the street this week..."

Not seeing a dead person, this should have been a very normal thing, but it was an abnormal behavior when it fell into Veronica's mouth.

Cloris nodded: "Go ahead."

"Also, you should know about the Abnormalities in Liberty Square that have been identified as safe," Veronica said, "The goblins say that their mysterious properties are related to fate, but now, those slot machines are all missing... "

247. North Suburb Manor

Generally speaking, even if it is a safe abnormal body, the local controller will not let it be placed on the street, but will be stored in the safe room or sold to collectors.

But it's not that Luentia doesn't want to move the [Fate Slot Machine], but that the cost of moving is too high, and fate is the bet.

The cause of the Abnormal Body is inherently complicated, so few people know that it is the product of the curse and resentment of the previous city lord, and even fewer people know that the bet on using the slot machine is not the lifespan, but the player's future and future harvest.

This is why, with the influx of refugees, most of the slot machine prizes are rotten dried meat and various garbage, which is essentially a plunder of fate.

Except for those with strong luck who can replace the plunder of the fate slot machine with a slight weakening, most people can only overdraw their lives and future.

But fate itself is erratic.Even Walsh Culler, whose mysterious properties are related to fate, has no idea of ​​touching the slot machine.

If you want to destroy the slot machine, you can only win the 20 years of plundering and accumulation of the fate of all players.

However, generally speaking, there is no need for Luntia to pay a high price to destroy it. [Fate Slot Machine] can only passively plunder fate, and will not take the initiative to make any damage. When the time is right, volunteers are recruited to harvest the accumulated wealth and luck from the mother machine.

A businessman on the verge of bankruptcy came here to put all his eggs in one basket. He hit the jackpot, but the slot machine didn't spit out anything.But in the next few months, his business turned around and turned around in one fell swoop.

"You said..." In the remote manor, Luentia, who woke up from the crystal coffin, sat up sleepily and listened to Mestaker's report, "Murgos' slot machine is missing?"

Meistek bowed respectfully and said: "Yes, according to the report of the subordinates, in fact, since more than ten days ago, the income of the slot machine has been decreasing. Since the profit of the slot machine is scarce, no one cared at that time, but Just yesterday, the master machine and all slave machines of [Destiny Slot Machine] disappeared collectively.”

"What do you think is the situation?"

"Generally speaking, removing it against the 'will' of the slot machine will suffer immediate backlash, unless there are special mysterious properties to accommodate it." Meisterk said, "In addition, there is a Theoretical proposals..."

"Win it all..." Luntia said irritably, "It's almost impossible, otherwise Uenos would have tampered with the slot machine."

"But if that's the case, over the past 20 years, [Fate Slot Machine] has robbed the luck of at least tens of 10 people. Before the light mist natural disaster, a total of more than 3000 people were directly swallowed up."

Luentia belatedly said, "You mean Uenos is biding his time?" He then refuted the statement with sullenness, "Impossible! I've had countless wizards to evaluate for 20 years , including the Explorers Guild, no one can take it away, let alone win all its fate! You should know that the longer the time, the more fate it plunders, the more unshakable it will be!"

According to the evaluation, [Destiny Slot Machine] is a growthable Abnormality, and maybe it can become an extraordinarily dangerous existence in hundreds of years, but now, it is theoretically not threatening.

Similar abnormalities coexisting in human society are not uncommon, and even a small number of them have independent personalities. They sometimes pose a threat to the lives of ordinary people. Life is not a vital matter at all for the huge daily death toll and cockroach-like birth population.

Born in a place of bitter cold, the lives of the people at the bottom of the deep world are extraordinarily tenacious. If they encounter a tyrannical lord, they are no different from beasts.

"I think it has something to do with the Grace House," Maestek reminded.

"Report to the Church of the Sun to thoroughly investigate this matter." Luntia ordered.

"Yes. In addition, the commercial port..."

Next, Meistek informed the Evangelical Correctional Institute and the Abam family about the division of the commercial port, focusing on Cloris's local policies.

"Where did this woman come from?"

"According to the description, she is a girl with a clear appearance and a petite and well-proportioned figure."

"Do you believe this kind of thing?" Luntia snorted contemptuously, "I have been preventing the Church of the Sun from deepening its deployment in the city that never sleeps for 20 years, but now you tell me that a woman who seems to have a pirate background suddenly got Maxi She still manages the port in an orderly manner? Given her three years, is the port named Luentia?!"

"Master means..."

"That woman has some abilities, we can't let her do her best for the Church of the Sun."

"I'm afraid it's very difficult. That woman is a tailor and has a record of instantly killing Selestan. I now suspect that she is related to the blood butcher in Sim Manor. The current situation is that it is difficult for us to find someone who can execute her with full confidence." Killer, if Maxi finds out about me personally..."

"Forget it, let the Abam family guard against death, and don't let the truth of the sun take root in the hearts of the people for the time being."

"Besides, Prisna is very close to that girl." Meistek reminded again.

"Let her come to see me."

"She set sail," Meistek said, "She said that she wanted to personally transport the fire source crystal ore for her master. The previous few times, the Gerger family may have interfered with it—"

Luentia didn't know that he had only slept for four or five fucking days, why did the sky change outside?He frowned and said, "I don't believe that the Gegel family dared to betray me."

"But the struggle between the Gerger family and the Valint family lasted for 20 years..."

Luntia asked: "Are you partial to that woman, Prisna, or did the Gegel family offend you?"

Meistek bowed immediately: "I will always only consider the interests of the Duke's Palace."

Luentia walked out of the crystal coffin naked, and Mestork put a coat on her.

It is located in the basement of a remote manor in the northern outskirts of the sparsely populated city that never sleeps.

"There will be chaos in the future," Luntia mused, "The original idea of ​​the Grace House should be to use a large amount of thunder ashlar to extract thunderstorms, but they must have alternatives, and there are more than one .”

"For the next three months, I don't recommend that you go into hibernation," Meistek said.

"Sleep, sleep..." Luntia rubbed his temples violently and murmured repeatedly, "The Church of the Sun..."

Luentia was born as a mercenary, and the symbol of his spirit vein is [Sleeping Blood]. Take that step and accept God's endowment.

At that time, he knew little about the Church of the Sun, let alone that [Sleeping Blood] had been taken away from its divinity after the Twilight Temple split.

Generally speaking, divine endowment skills are the core skills of high-level transcendents, and the official church already has a mature divine endowment ceremony to pay the price in advance, so as to avoid being troubled by excessive curses or negative effects when possessing skills.

God-endowed skills are like the embryonic form of authority, and no one wants to be hindered in using authority.

This is not to say that the curse will not exist, but as long as one has a clear understanding of the self and does not pursue power beyond the tolerance range, the negative effects can be weakened or avoided.

Luntia didn't understand this back then.In the deep world, apart from the god-endowed favored by the ancient gods, other god-endowers usually obtained divine revelation in the ruins, and besides possessing authority, they had to bear additional and unknown curses, so at first, Luentia thought that Your own insomnia is a perfectly normal accident.

The ridiculous thing is that, as the owner of [Sleeping Blood], Luentia cannot sleep, so every month he needs a special spiritual weapon to relieve mental fatigue, and he will spend several days in the dead silence without any sound, Strip consciousness out of reality and fall into a fake sleep similar to hypnosis.

In the early years, he thought it was a necessary price, but as the Church of the Sun gradually took root in Drunken Country and the communication with the clergy became closer, Luentia discovered that, just as those heavy cavalry armors were sold to him as inferior products, Even his divinely endowed skills are garbage that the Church of the Sun discards like shoes!

If Luntia does not go to sleep for a long time, Luentia will fall into confusion and delirium in the blurred hallucinations. If he does not go to sleep for three months, it will be a great mental load on him. There is no reaction time.

Therefore, Luentia needs to contract the Tower of Light. Once he becomes a demigod, even if insomnia is not relieved, the strengthening of the spiritual power of the demigod will enable him to cope with fatigue more calmly.

In short, wonders have to wait in line for vacancies, and gods also need to apply patiently for quotas. Without official support, only Tianzong Wizards can communicate with the divinity in the spiritual veins and take great risks to promote themselves.Under such circumstances, how could the Church of the Sun give preferential treatment to an indigenous lord in a backwater?

To be able to use the remaining divinity of [Sleeping Blood] to inspire Luentia's god is already a mountain of kindness and a merciful sun.

Such old grudges, Luentia has been backlogged in his heart, and kept secret.

However, compared to the Church of the Sun, Luentia also has an enemy that is close at hand—Uenos.

Before he usurped power, the city that never sleeps had been under the joint jurisdiction of the local chamber of commerce and the central city of Tyrntan, and Uenos had a very close relationship with the business alliance.

Hurricane Island is the gateway to Ubud Noor's airspace, and it is impossible for Uronos to give up this territory.

After sorting out his thoughts, Luntia changed into a brand new outfit, turned his back to Mesteco and said, "Masteco, how many years have you been following me?"

Meistek said respectfully: "32 years, my master."

"32 years... Of the six servants I enslaved, only you and Arcas are still alive," Luentia sighed, "After I contract the Tower of Radiance, I will personally cut off this ability , give you back your freedom."

"Your will." Meistek lowered his head, unafraid.

The master and the servant left the secret room one after the other. In the manor shrouded in dense forest, there was only one path overgrown with weeds leading to the city.The owner of this manor belongs to a vicissitudes old man who is half-paralyzed. His external identity is the former vice president of the Evernight City Chamber of Commerce, Arcas Lean. He was placed under house arrest by Luentia 20 years ago. old age.

Most of his assets were confiscated, but the remaining wealth was still enough for the paralyzed old man to squander to death.

According to the rumors, Akas Lean is a psychopath who likes to kill young girls. Every year, a maid disappears after applying for a job. From time to time, one or two crazy women escape from the manor, narrating inarticulately about Akas’s illness torture.

In reality, no one knows that his true identity is Luentia's loyal servant.

No one knew that he was not interested in girls, those disappeared or crazy people, just because they saw things they shouldn't see.

"Another batch of maids?" The secret room is located behind the hidden door of the master bedroom on the fifth floor. Through the blinds, Luentia watched Arcas Leon in the wheelchair being pushed and escorted by two maids, one big and one small.

Under the fluorescent lamp, the vicissitudes of life, the white-haired and chicken-skinned Arcas Lean was drowsy. The sunlight could not illuminate the deep age spots on his face, nor could he wake up his drowsy mind.

This is not the curse of any accompanying skills, but the end that every life must face.

"Recruited from the bottom, experienced, understands the rules, and has no relatives, even if they disappear suddenly, no one cares." Maestek replied.

"That tall woman looks a bit hyperactive, let the head maid take care of her, and don't cause any rumors." Luntia said.

After Luntia occupied the city that never sleeps, he couldn't completely cleanse the Chamber of Commerce. There are still many people like Arcas who are under house arrest or exile, which is a necessary compromise.

Arcas Lean needs someone to take care of his life, and he must keep all the secrets here as the master of the manor.Even the Church of the Sun would not have imagined that the enemy who was once under house arrest by Luntia was actually his loyal servant.

"Tafi, Kari!" The head maid, who was as proud as an old peacock, summoned the two new maids.

There are six maids in this manor, including the head maid, who are responsible for all the internal affairs of the manor and the care of Arcas Lean's daily life.Except for the head maid, the most experienced maid worked in the manor for a year and three months, while the predecessors in earlier times did not leave any known names or traces of existence.

Although in the rumors of the maid world, this is an ominous place for cannibalism, but the salary can't stand it.After being coaxed by the intermediary aunt in every possible way, Carrie and Taifei, who couldn't find a new employer for a while, took up this job.

They don't know the rumors about this place.

But for Carrie and Taifei, there are warm fluorescent lights, an open library, maids and their own separate rooms and bathrooms, and she only needs to work twelve hours a day to enjoy hearty food , drinks and hot water. There is a fish pond in the manor. During the fishing time, the two will come here to relax with bread crumbs from time to time.

Of course, there are many rules.

The mansion is divided into two parts, one part is a three-story ring-shaped small building on the outside, and the other part is a square five-story building connected by an overhead corridor in the middle.

If Carrie had to describe it, the small building on the outside was like a coffin, and the building in the middle was like a coffin with its cover uncovered.

Here, there are many places that they cannot set foot in, such as the fifth floor of the "coffin building", such as the closed corridor and corner tower on the northwest side of the "coffin building".

"When the bell rings at six o'clock tomorrow, you must get up and finish washing. Come to the central hall to gather at 06:30. I will assign you a whole day's work. Don't let me find out that anyone has entered an unopened area, otherwise..."

The old peacock-like head maid would teach them the same thing every evening. After dinner in the evening, except for the maids who were scheduled to take care of Arcas Lean, the others would have three to four hours of free time before ten o'clock at night. time.

"Also, no one is allowed to step out of the manor unless they are granted leave..." After the head maid finished her lecture, she routinely said harshly, "Beware of the wild beasts in the dense forest, those beasts don't know how to pity the sweet and the beautiful..."

248. Riot

It's cold and windy, and it's snowing on Hurricane Island after all.

The Pingfeng Mountains are not impenetrable, and the sharp "knife" blows across the city from time to time, and the biting cold makes people's faces covered with cracked scars.

The evangelical correctional center has a step-by-step layout, assisting the Church of the Sun in preaching, and preparing materials for the windy season. These things cannot be done overnight, and it takes time to polish them.

It is foreseeable that in the next three months, there will be fewer and fewer ships berthed, and dock workers will also face the dilemma of a large number of unemployment.When the city that never sleeps is still relatively stable, they can save a sum of money to survive the windy season, and they can also find some odd jobs in the city to make ends meet, but as the living environment gets worse, the previous life style can no longer be applied to the present.

It stands to reason that the central city of Terntan, as the capital of Ubud Noor's airspace, should take on more responsibilities for accommodating refugees, but the reality is that Uenos drives the suffering people to the city that never sleeps in various ways.

In the second half of the year, the Church of the Sun will allocate another 500 million Aegis to the Radiance Tower, and at the same time, Maxi will issue an additional 500 million Aegis local bonds in Zui Xiang, which will be used for the church's various investments in the city that never sleeps.

The Radiance Tower not only makes a God-endowed person become a demigod, but its own light power can dispel the cold wind and provide heat energy, so that the residents of the city that never sleeps will not be troubled by the wind season. This project itself is also beneficial for thousands of years .

It's just that with the extension and further extension of the completion deadline, people's prospects for the spectacle have changed from optimism to apprehension.

Therefore, Cloris's proposal is to request Maxi to use the funds for the relief of the poor and the construction of the commercial port first, building large-scale civil engineering, treating sewage, restarting the sewer system in South City, and purifying and maintaining the freshwater resources of Shenfeng Lake. At the same time, the wharf and church fleet will be expanded, so that the unemployed will not have nothing to do in the short term.
