The Closed Capital.

Less than twelve hours have passed since the "Blood Sacrifice", the chaos in the city has been completely quelled, and after the "Empress" punched the well, the sacramental purification of the goddess "Sthetia", and the first time that support was dispatched from all over the country, and even the Imperial Capital's General Long Yi was present in person, the next day's sealed capital restored basic security.

However, on the streets of the city, you can still see a lot of explosive ruins, this once a bustling city that could touch the imperial capital, but now it is scarred, the nobles and merchants cry and cry, I don't know how much their wealth overnight, in this chaos turned into a bubble, the common people are not happy, there are many homeless wanderers on the roadside, maybe the only ones who are not indifferent to this are those poor people and subhuman slaves, after all, they have nothing, and there is nothing to lose.

City Hall.

As a result of the empress's visit to the closed capital, many officials from the imperial capital also had to come overnight, and Charlotte, as the most important minister, would naturally not be absent.

In the pantry at this moment, Charlotte is entertaining a guest from the magic capital, who is said to be the personal assistant of the "city lord", and the purpose of the other party's visit is also very simple...

"Miss Caroline, please be sure to express our gratitude to the city lord for me and all the people of the Closed Capital, the Demon Capital's donation to us is gratuitous, and we will definitely remember this kindness in the Dragon Kingdom."

Charlotte said gratefully, but she was pretending to pour water, but her eyes were very subtle, peeking at the whole body of the city lord's assistant opposite.

Caroline was wearing a very formal suit, with a golden single ponytail standing up behind her head and looking very capable, the black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose were a little more serious, and under the hip-wrapping skirt of the lower body, there were two black silk wrapped legs tightly together.

However, no matter how serious and dangerous he is, no matter how he dresses properly, he can't hide his identity as a succubus, but it also forms a sense of contrast, which makes Charlotte feel a little tickled.

Caroline lifted her glasses, didn't say anything, took out another clause from the briefcase she was carrying, and pushed it from the table to Charlotte opposite.

After Xia Luo took it suspiciously, she had a grateful expression just now, but now it faded a lot in an instant.

"Wait a minute? Miss Caroline, your lord wants... Take over the temporary agency of the city? ”

"Yes, because the city lord is very worried about the corruption within your Dragon Kingdom, I didn't mean to target you, Mr. Charlotte, it's just that we don't want our money and materials for disaster relief to end up in some people's wallets, of course, we didn't refer to you, Mr. Charlotte, so we made such a request, if the Dragon Kingdom wants to accept this magic capital fundraising, I must take over the post-disaster reconstruction project of the closed capital."

After Caroline's calm narration, the face of the minister opposite was not very good, and he was a little gloomy.

"Impossible! Where is the city of the Dragon Kingdom handed over to outsiders to manage! ”

As if anticipating Charlotte's refusal, Caroline still said unhurriedly:

"First of all, we are not trying to manage the city, just for better rescue, and secondly, I suggest you think about it, the amount of money that will be spent on reconstruction after the disaster is not a small amount, and if you refuse the kindness of our magic capital, it will be out of your own pocket Mr. Charlotte."

Install the latest version. 】

"Anyway, the current closed capital is already in a mess, and it is almost impossible to collect taxes before it is rebuilt, so it is better to give this mess to our demon capital, we can guarantee that after the end of the town disaster in less than a month, including me, all the relevant personnel of the demon capital will withdraw from the closed capital."

"You don't have to worry that we have other conspiracies, the Demon Capital is the lighthouse of the continent, and the city lord is even more kind and benevolent, everything we do is to make this world a better place."

Charlotte frowned and fell into deep thought, because Caroline said that it is true that now that there is such a mess in the closed capital, and even the empress herself has been dispatched, he will definitely not be able to borrow money from disasters like before.

But even if he doesn't have this mind, but the subordinates under him, what kind of virtue these people are, Charlotte knows very well, it's just rotten, after all, he doesn't need capable people to take the position, he only needs people who obey him to be officials.

When the time comes, he will really return the disaster relief in the sealed capital to a miasma, and he will not be able to explain it in front of the empress, and Caroline also assured him that the people in the magic capital will only stay for a month and leave, and it is estimated that there will be no moths in such a short time.

Charlotte, who was finally weighed, agreed to Caroline and signed the contract, and the succubus on the opposite side finally showed a shallow smile under this scene.

"Happy cooperation, it is definitely an honor for the people of the Dragon Kingdom to have a loyal minister like you who serves the country and the people."

"Oh, the city lord also said, if you accept it, I will give you an extra one, our magic capital is absolutely credible first-hand information."

"The empress you're looking for in a hurry... It is now located in the south. ”

While speaking, after putting away the papers on the table, Caroline didn't give Charlotte, who had not come back to her senses, a chance to speak again, and directly turned around and pushed the door to leave.

Charlotte, who was left alone with a frowning brow, was now running a fast pace, and her forehead was a little sweaty.

Assuming that Caroline didn't lie to him, and with the powerful intelligence ability of the Demon Capital, he could indeed do this, then it would be a big problem, because the southern border...

Exactly the place for the sub-people!

Why did the empress go there?

The first thing that came to Charlotte's mind was...

The plan of their "alliance of the old"!

The minister who speculated on this conclusion suddenly fell into an ice cave, and his body trembled a little, if the empress really found out the one who targeted the subhuman race back then... No, it should be said that it was a cruel plan against the entire Dragon Kingdom, and Xia Luo couldn't imagine what the empress's anger would be at that time.

Wrong! Wrong wrong!

Calm down!

Charlotte took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, first of all, all this speculation was based on Caroline not lying to herself, I heard that succubi like to play with people's hearts, maybe it was just a casual remark by the other party to scare herself.

Second, and the most powerful proof is that with the character of the empress, if she really finds out something, even if it is just a clue, I am afraid that she will come directly to arrest herself, and since he can still sit here unharmed now, it proves that maybe...

The empress hadn't figured it out yet, or maybe the empress had a different purpose in going to the south, and it wasn't the worst outcome he imagined.

After all, Charlotte has been with the empress for many years, and he knows very well that with the irascible personality of that existence, the two words of investigation are very incompatible with the empress, and the empress's means of solving problems have always been just violence.

Xia Luo, who had stabilized his position a little, didn't dare to stay longer, and immediately got up from the sofa, left the council hall, and walked towards the secret room he had arranged in the Sealed Capital.

In the secret room, Charlotte lifted his cuffs, and in his right hand he held a dagger that looked like a dagger specially prepared for the ceremony, the dagger was twisted and weird, forming a claw-like shape.

When the minister gritted his teeth and stabbed the dagger towards his wrist, the severed blood vessels suddenly rushed outward, but in the next scene, the blood was all devoured by the ritual dagger pierced on it, and the dagger after "drinking blood" also revealed its true form.

The dagger seemed to come to life, the metal camouflage quickly faded into what looked like a fleshy dagger still breathing and wriggling, and the dagger continued to draw blood from Charlotte's wrist.

It wasn't until it was finally satisfied, from the handle of the flesh dagger, the filthy flesh and blood continued to wriggle, and finally an evil eyeball wrapped in slime and covered with blood gradually solidified, and finally, completely opened from the dagger's body.
