Bishop Victoria suddenly spoke from behind him: "The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, Oram Sophie, and his daughter, Lilia, led the Black Scorpion Squad out of the territory three days ago. According to their itinerary, they will arrive at San Marino City within two days."
Carl stopped, it was obvious that Victoria was trying to show his goodwill to him.
She didn't make this a condition of the deal, which made Carl feel comfortable.
"Thank you."
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the night.
Victoria stared at Carl's gradually disappearing back. The weakness of a mother gradually disappeared, her eyes regained their firmness, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
She still doubted Karl, his motives, and his purpose.
There's a 99% chance that his daughter's current state is due to him.
But judging from Carl's performance, his mind is generally simple. Although he is a dragon, he has the sense of good and evil of humans.
They tend to act based on their own moral values rather than interests.
This is a cat that has awakened a mysterious ability to time, was raised by humans, and has a simple view of good and evil. It is very likely that the humans who raised him have died, so he longs for family affection.
A young dragon who can do whatever he wants because of his powerful time ability.
"Huh..." Victoria sighed softly, feeling the pressure on his shoulders was too heavy.
If this incredible time ability were to be reported to the church's top brass, they would definitely send strong men to subdue him or kill him at all costs.
It would be good if we could kill him.
Victoria was not sure what the limit of Carl's time ability was. If he failed to kill him, she didn't know what kind of retaliation the church would suffer.
But she and Chris must not have had a good ending.
Victoria shook his head. He had to become an important person to him, at least to be able to support him to a certain extent, and not become a tyrant like the devil.
"Why..."
Victoria couldn't remember how many times he had sighed, seeing his daughter's appearance and a giant dragon that might become a demon king at any time in the future.
She felt so tired.
"But... it's really big."
Victoria placed his hand on his abdomen, and his fingertips brushed across the lower part of his chest, as if they had really reached that place.
. . .
Karl walked into the night and returned to the City Lord's Mansion. When he arrived at the door, he saw Hill wearing an OL uniform, black stockings clinging to her slender legs, and high heels, leaning against the door.
"Is there anything important?" Carl asked. After all, it was already late at night and Hill was still guarding his door.
Hill's face looked a little ugly. She straightened up and said, "Well, Lilia, the daughter of the Grand Duke of the North, is currently resting outside the city of San Marino. She is with two maids, two men and one woman."
"We still don't know their combat power and identities. But they have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Two of our blood relatives were seriously injured during the reconnaissance and are currently unable to get close."
Carl was not surprised to hear this. As expected, the Grand Duke of the North would not easily raise an army.
The most cost-effective option is to send a strong man to behead him openly.
It's not even that the other party is hiding anything and is telling the entire North.
The consequences of going against her.
"It's quite ceremonial." Carl shrugged: "Look up the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group."
"The Black Scorpion Mercenary Group? They are not the mercenary group active in the North." Hill repeated, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll check it out right away."
Seeing this, Karl waved his hand gently: “Rest early, don’t worry too much, I will take care of it.”
After saying that, he turned and walked into his room. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw Hill following behind him: "Anything else?"
Hill was stunned: "It's okay."
After saying that, she quickly turned and left. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground gradually faded away and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Hill walked all the way to the corner before stopping and frowning slightly.
Directly confronting the Grand Duke of the North put a lot of pressure on her.
The best way to relieve stress, of course, is to do those things, and she was just about to vent her stress with Karl.
But Carl's instinctive reaction was that he was not very interested.
"He's already satisfied." Hill narrowed her eyes. She knew her physical advantages. Carl had a special liking for her brown skin, especially when she wore this uniform, transparent stockings and high heels.
But today I didn't look at her feet.
There was a chill in Hill's eyes.
It’s not that she has any special feelings for Carl, but as a dark elf, all her behavior patterns will gradually become what her master likes through observation.
This is the only way to achieve maximum benefit.
When the master can no longer give more, it will stab the master in the back without hesitation.
To gain the loyalty of the dark elves is simple, just always bring them something higher than betrayal.
Today, Carl was completely satisfied and Hill felt a crisis.
Her eyes were cold, and she had to do something.
Carl returned to the room and couldn't wait to start using his skills as time around him stopped.
He could clearly feel that his abilities were further strengthened.
After the fourth stage, in addition to the physical strength being further enhanced, the time stop range reaches 4 meters. At the same time, it is possible to control four objects during the time stop so that they are not affected by the time stop.
The skill "Invisible" can be materialized at will within four meters of the body, and no longer requires the body as a medium.
The biggest change is the new abilities after advancement.
"Increased sensitivity."
In the time barrier, he can amplify the sensitivity of anyone, doubling the effect.
"This skill doesn't seem to improve combat effectiveness." Carl was speechless. Reality was not a novel. Even if his sensitivity was doubled, could he really kill his opponent?
Chapter 114 Perverted Woman
Outside the city of San Marino, beside a stream outside the forest, a temporary camp was set up, with two men and one woman sitting around a blazing bonfire.
“Bear, Golden Scorpion, tomorrow you will start the massacre.” The cold woman stuck out her tongue and licked her lips gently. Her long and sharp nails flashed a cold purple light in the reflection of the campfire.
"Rain Scorpion, don't forget the young lady's order. The new city lord named Carl must be alive." The human male Golden Scorpion looked teasing, and turned to look at the gorgeous tent not far away: "After all, if we fall into the hands of the young lady, death will be a luxury."
Inside the tent, magic stones distributed all around illuminated the space. A young boy with a childish face was lying on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
Two women in maid uniforms stood respectfully by the side, each holding an iron plate in their hands.
A variety of tools are displayed on it, from sharp blades to delicate pliers, all made of pure silver, and even carved with gorgeous patterns and the Oram family's emblem.
Lilia held the ornate knife, smiled, and faced the boy's head: "Don't worry, it won't hurt."
She placed the sharp knife in her hand on the boy's head and slid it slightly, and the boy's skull was easily cut open like butter.
"Woo!" The boy couldn't see what was happening above his head. He only felt a few cool sensations, and his head seemed to have become a lot lighter.
Unknown, unspeakable fear is growing.
"Don't move." Lilia's voice was gentle. She easily opened his skull and inserted her slender fingers directly into the white brain.
This was a horrifying scene, but the two maids nearby looked calm, holding trays in their hands.
Lilia stirred gently with her fingers.
The boy's eyes turned white, the fear disappeared from his eyes, an abnormal blush appeared on his face, his abdomen protruded upwards, and his younger brother was in an abnormally swollen state.
Suddenly, his body began to tremble violently.
His body trembled once and then stopped moving.
Lilia looked regretful and pulled out her finger. She put the mucus on her fingertips to her mouth, licked them with her tongue, and stood up: "Prepare dinner."
"Yes." The two maids nodded, took out an exquisite tray, walked to the boy's head and handled it skillfully.
Lilia walked back to the leather chair and sat down, her long legs casually folded together, her fingers supporting her chin: “Karl, I hope you can bring me some fun.”
. . .
The next day's morning light penetrated the meeting room and shone onto the long conference table.
Karl sat at the head of the table, and Hill, as his secretary, reported earnestly: "The nobles of Wind Chime City have almost all fled under the Brotherhood. We will be able to take over Wind Chime City soon."
"But after losing their unique powers, most of the hybrids in the Brotherhood's army are no longer suitable for serving as frontline fighters in terms of physical fitness and combat ability."
Carl waved his hand and said, "You will start integrating the soldiers from San Marino City and Wind Chime City, and select 100,000 of them as our regular army."
"The rest of you can freely choose to join the infrastructure team, become free men, or become security guards."
Carl was very satisfied with Hill. As the city lord, he only needed to give the general direction and Hill would arrange everything in order.
"The point is the law. The cities under my rule must strictly abide by the same laws."
Of course, Hill’s ability to govern with ease also has to do with the laws he enacted.
It’s not that his legal design is so ingenious.
It's simply because the punishment is severe enough. Anyone caught committing robbery, rape, etc. will be hanged. Recently, the wild beasts in the forest outside San Marino have not eaten many people.
You can’t finish it, and you can’t eat it all.
Hill's mouth twitched. "We are seriously short of officials now. It is not easy to take over Fengling City quickly. The law that will hang anyone for embezzling a silver coin is a bit extreme. People are not willing to serve as officials."
She was under a lot of pressure. The integrity of the officials in San Marino City would be a model of integrity anywhere in the empire.
As a result, batches of them were killed in the city of San Marino.
She was a dark elf, and she was tired of killing people. She thought it was too extreme.
"Well, no one wants to be an official? This is indeed a problem." Carl narrowed his eyes. Even to be a grassroots official, it is not possible to do the job well by just pulling someone from the slums.
"Starting today, we will open an official training course. Any resident who wants to build the city of San Marino can sign up. As long as you become a student, you can get a monthly salary of 1 gold coin."
“After completing further training, they will be sent to take over grassroots positions.”
"Now all government workers have tripled their salaries."
"Three times?" The Hill people were confused. "Isn't that too much? Besides, it's hard to achieve good results by just relying on high-pressure laws to combat corruption."
Carl raised his hand with a strange look on his face: "Who said that the law that allows people to be hanged for a silver coin is to combat corruption?"
"You can only attract them to become officials by paying them high salaries. Once they have embezzled money, you can then hang them to get the wages back."
"As long as we kill enough and kill fast enough, there won't be any interest groups formed."
Hill's mouth opened wide and said, "Great guy, lower the threshold for becoming an official, offer continuing education courses, and become an official after graduation. If you commit corruption, you will be hanged and your property will be confiscated."
The confiscated properties were distributed to training classes to train new people to become officials.
Wow, a closed loop is formed.
"I understand." Hill nodded and turned around. She felt that Carl was a little extreme, but as a dark elf, she would not feel any psychological pressure no matter how many people she killed.
Carl looked at Hill's back, no wonder some people control OL uniforms.
The tight-fitting design perfectly outlines the sexy figure under the uniform.
Hill, the dark elf, has a perfect body shape, especially the curves of her short skirt and her pair of straight long legs in black stockings.
"Wait a minute." Karl called her, definitely not because he wanted to be a secretary for no reason.
I upgraded my level yesterday, so I have to try out my skills.
Carl did not hide the aggression in his eyes.
Hill turned around and saw his gaze. As a dark elf, she certainly knew what he was thinking. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she walked on her high heels like an elegant cat.
"Time stops."
Carl stopped time, and in an instant, the "Enhanced Sensitivity" effect was activated, and Hill's sensitivity increased by two times.
Hill walked up to him and stopped, looking serious: "Master, what do you need me to do?"
She squatted in front of Karl in her high heels, and changed her address from the city lord at work to the master.
Changing the perspective to looking up, this simple posture can increase Carl's sense of being the master and the leader.
