Chapter 554 - 554: Brother-in-law (3)
Fire Code City.
“Phew The golden-haired noble lady let out a long sigh of relief. She stretched lazily on the chair and finally got up from the pile of documents on the table that was almost as high as a hill.
“Thank you for your hard work, Earl.”
“However, since this morning, you have been in the study for more than ten hours. For the sake of your health, I suggest you go and rest as soon as possible.
A silver-haired maid stood beside the desk. As she spoke, she handed over a cup of coffee that she had prepared earlier.
“Sigh… Elena, you can call me Liz when there’s no one around. “The blonde girl took the maid’s coffee with a helpless look on her face.
But the maid shook her head.
“Which servant would call their master by his name?”
“Alright, alright. How about this? You can still call me Young Miss like before, right? The Earl felt that they were too distant. “The golden-haired girl took a step back.
Unfortunately, the maid still shook her head and said,” You have now taken over the Sisre Family and become the youngest of the new generation in Fire Code City. You are also the first Countess in history. The title of Lady is outdated. ”
“I don’t care! Now that Vivian has gone to the Thousand Islands with her little wolf, you’re the only friend I have left. If you continue to call me that, will you really bear to?”
“Alright, alright, Young Miss.” Under the blonde girl’s tough attitude and emotional card, the maid finally relented.
However, Elena couldn’t help but correct him,”
“Young miss, you seem to have forgotten about Lady Xue Li at the God Splitting Lake. She is also one of your friends. If young miss really feels lonely, do you need me to invite her…
Before the maid could finish her sentence, the blonde girl seemed to have been provoked. Her entire body trembled and she almost lost her grip on the coffee in her hand.
“Her? Friends? Alina, is there a serious misunderstanding? How did you know that we are friends? Love… Cough, more like an enemy!”
“No, don’t mention that woman to me. Every time I think of her, I get a headache. She’s like a bottomless pit all day long, constantly asking me for this funding, that funding! All kinds of bills under her name were sent to the Castle of the Earl every day!
Liz gritted her teeth. The Sisre family was indeed powerful, but because of the death of the earl, the family was severely divided. Although Liz had inherited her father’s position in name, she did not have much real power, let alone the family’s assets.
This wasn’t much money to begin with, and it wasn’t even enough for Liz to rebuild her family. She couldn’t wait to split a copper coin in half. In the end, she had to split a large sum of money to Cher every day. How could Liz not feel heartache?
“Lady Shirley is a demonic creature. If she wants to move around in human society, there’s nothing she can do about it. Moreover, Lady Shirley is also carrying out the mission that Lord Bai gave her. I’ve carefully looked at the bills every time. They’re basically for the mission.
The maid consoled, while Liz snorted.
“Hmph, of course I know that. Otherwise, why would I always have to squeeze it out of my teeth and give it to her when I’m still short of money?”
Before Vivian and the wolf cubs brought the Water God’s Chains back from the
Thousand Islands, the fall of the Fire God would continue to affect the entire Flame Domain, causing more and more people to be infected by the fall. Some of them would even become spiritually corrupted slaves like Count Sisl.
Before Liao Zixuan left the Flame Domain, he gave Xue Li the task of secretly gathering information about these ” festered
Eldest Miss, this is today’s newspaper. The Archbishop of the Fire God Sect, Damir, has used magic to find signs of a new Fallen Abyss in many second and third-tier towns in the Flame Domain this week. Now, the entire knight regiment is in shock, and the Knight Commander, Sir Harvey, has personally led the regiment out.”
“Is that so? I didn’t expect it to come so quickly…” Liz frowned slightly. One could see the worry for the future in the young girl’s brows.
Everyone thought that the disaster in Fire Code City was over, but only those who followed Vivian knew that the battle in Fire Code City was just the beginning. What the Fire Domain was about to face was an even more severe challenge.
For this…
“How’s the layout of the novice village coming along? “Liz asked the maid. She had learned this strange new term from Liao Zixuan.
Xue Li had a mission from Liao Zixuan, and Countess Liz, who had a higher position and power, naturally wouldn’t be idle.
” We have used all our resources to build the base. According to Miss Da’s instructions, we have built the Red Flame Town as the hub. All the rebuilt lower villages are mostly planned to be near the Starfire Forest. It will take less than ten minutes to reach the periphery of the forest.
” As for the distribution of equipment in each village, we have also strictly followed the requirements of the young miss. There must be a weapon shop, a defensive equipment shop, a prop shop, a blacksmith shop…We will recruit professionals from all over Fire Code City and distribute them to the villages. We will strive to ensure that every village has at least three professional mentors..
