Chapter 107: An alternative plan to usurp the throne.
"Elizabeth, do you still remember the name Mary?" After tapping his fingers on the armrest of the sofa for a long time, Reed looked up at Elizabeth and asked.

"Master Mary, are you talking about the maid of the bloodthirsty queen a thousand years ago?" Elizabeth asked after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, it's her." Li De nodded affirmatively.

"Master, I wonder what is your intention in mentioning her?" Elizabeth couldn't help but ask. After all, it was a bit abrupt for Reed to mention this name.

"Use the memories you have obtained to judge, that Mary, the woman now known as the vampire hunter, when you take out this thing, will she sign it?" While Reed was speaking, he exchanged a slave contract from the system.

"Given her loyalty, I should have a good chance of getting it if I take it out." Elizabeth said after thinking for a while.

"It would be best if you succeed. If not, you'll just have to give up temporarily." After saying that, Reed threw the hard work contract in his hand to Elizabeth.

"Master, I will definitely complete it." Elizabeth said after taking the contract.

"Elizabeth, the slave contract is unusual. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, there is nothing you can do. So don't be too persistent." Reed waved his hand and said.

"Yes, I understand, master! But master, I don't quite understand." Elizabeth nodded and asked again.

After all, it was just to accept Mary, so there was no need for a slave contract.

As long as Elizabeth appeared before her, she would surely surrender and pledge her loyalty again. There was no need to waste her master's resources to confirm her loyalty.

"Elizabeth, only those who sign the contract can get the right to use the card." Reed reminded.

"Master, do you want Mary to replace someone?" Elizabeth now understood Reed's intention of taking out the slave contract.

However, some of the seniors in Shadow Courtyard have not yet obtained the right to use the card, so they give it to their slave Mary first. Is this really a good idea?
Yes, if it was a slave contract signed by Mary, then she would be Elizabeth's slave. After all, the master's name on the slave contract was not Reed, but hers.

Of course, as Elizabeth's master, Reed is also Mary's master.

"Rose Oliana!" Reed didn't give any riddles and announced the answer directly.

Since the Siyue Chamber of Commerce and the Black Tower would be restricted in forming an army, Li De's idea was to simply switch to a kingdom without restrictions.

Among the many kingdoms in the real world, the Kingdom of Oriana is undoubtedly the best choice.

One is that the kingdom's cognition was distorted by the Diabolos Cult and it became the kingdom of the capital of art.

And the best part is that the kingdom is currently in danger.

Let me put it this way, in the original novel, if Sid Kagenor had not cured Rose Auriana of her demon possession symptoms, the Auriana Kingdom would have probably fallen into civil strife during the winter break and would have been destroyed.

Then let's look back at Rose Auriana.

Regardless of whether the performance in the original work is good or bad, it is at least very individual and persistent.

So even if her demon-possessed symptoms broke out, Reed didn't think she would compromise and sign a slave contract.

In that case, let's replace her with someone who is willing to sign a slave contract.

Anyway, it has been proved in the original book that she is not suitable to join the Shadow Court, and even if she joins, she will not be loyal.

If that's the case, why bother giving her treatment?

When the time comes, all we have to do is find her and find someone to replace her.

As for the subsequent assassination of the controlled King of Oriana and the Duke of Doem who controlled him, who said that Rose had to step in?
Li De thought it would be a good idea to let Queen Oriana, who was known for her bitch attributes, come forward.

Of course, it is also very simple to make a queen who has no military power at all have the strength to kill the king and the duke, isn't it?

Learn about Gamma's perfect transformation ability.

After the queen killed the king and the duke and then committed suicide, the only princess Rose was left as the heir to Oriana.

After that, as long as Rose returns to the country to succeed to the throne, Li De’s goal of retaliatory consumption will be achieved.

As for why Reed chose to recruit Mary to replace Rose Auriana instead of anyone else in Shadow Courtyard, the reason is very simple.

It’s not that other people in the Shadow Courtyard are unwilling to sign the slave contract. Reed believes that as long as he gives the slave contract to Alpha and the others, they will definitely be able to find someone willing to sign.

But why Mary?
Because she is a vampire, and Rose Auriana is possessed by a demon.

In other words, the fusion of their bodies could potentially create another Aurora.

Even because of bloodline, this person's strength should be weaker than Elizabeth.

But it depends on who you compare with. Do you really think Aurora, who is known as the Witch of Natural Disaster, is a weakling?

Let’s put it this way, in the current strength ranking within the Shadow Courtyard, Gamma is ranked first, Alpha is ranked second, and the third is Elizabeth in front of Reed.

And this is the increase in strength brought about by the fusion of blood. You must know that before, except for being able to defeat Gamma who had no fighting talent among the Seven Shadows and Victoria who was at the end, New couldn't beat any of the others.

Therefore, as long as everything goes well, Mary, who replaces Rose, will be at least stronger than Alpha who has not fused with the Snow-Snow Fruit, and can definitely be considered a strong person.

This is why Reed chose Mary. After all, no one else in the Shadow Courtyard has the advantage of complementary blood.

And with a strong man in charge, there is no need to be afraid even if the ninth seat of the Diabolos Cult, the Superman Demon Sword, wants to continue causing trouble.

Just do it!

Even if the result is to destroy the entire Oriana Kingdom, Li De will never retreat this time.

After all, the top combat power is on his side, and with the girls from the Siyue Chamber of Commerce, Li De can easily sweep across the entire Oriana Kingdom.

It can even be said that destroying it is what Li De really wants.

After all disobedience is suppressed forcefully, there will be absolutely no resistance no matter whether it is to change back the abnormal perception of the magic swordsman that was previously despised or to form a national defense knight group.

In addition, by allowing the Siyue Chamber of Commerce to participate in the reconstruction process, it will be possible to directly control the economy of the entire Oriana Kingdom. By then, those nobles who have survived by chance will no longer have any ability to resist.

After all, with their military and financial resources suppressed, all they can do is to show their loyalty.

The most interesting thing is that without Rose's experience of joining the Shadow Court, the Diabolos Cult would not be able to find an excuse to label the Kingdom of Oriana as a heresy.

In this way, even if the Kingdom of Oriana fell into Li De's hands, as long as Li De was willing, he could directly take power and change the name of the Kingdom of Oriana to the Kingdom of Kageno.

Of course, this is definitely a bit too ostentatious.

So Li De will not choose. After all, if he is not in the same position, doesn’t that mean Li De is not the actual ruler?
Still, right? Then why must I stand in the foreground? "The only heir of the Kingdom of Oriana! Is the master interested in the Kingdom of Oriana?" When Elizabeth heard this name, she immediately understood Li De's intention.

"Not really, but if you want to form an army without restrictions, taking control of a kingdom is indeed the best way." Reed said this and casually told Elizabeth about the current situation within the Kingdom of Oriana.

"I didn't expect that this country has been on the brink of collapse. The Diabolos Cult is really everywhere." Elizabeth said in shock after hearing this.

"So this plan is feasible!" Li De couldn't help but say.

"Master's plan is perfect," Elizabeth praised sincerely.

"Then I'll leave Mary's matter to you," Li De said.

"Master, I will finish it as soon as possible." Elizabeth nodded and said.

"Just do your best. After all, a slave contract is no different from any other. It would be best if we can sign it, but it doesn't matter if we can't. After all, the Kingdom of Oriana was not originally included in the original plan." Reed said calmly without adding pressure to Elizabeth.

"I understand, Master." Elizabeth nodded again.

"The next thing is about funding. The intelligence business needs to be expanded, the killer organization needs to be rebuilt, and later on we have to form an army. Not enough money will not do. I will first give you one trillion rings worth of gold. When it's not enough, just come back to me." Li De said slowly.

"Master, isn't this too much?" Elizabeth asked in shock when she heard that Reed was going to give her one trillion, which is one trillion ringgits of gold.

You have to know that the Dark Tower still has a certain amount of savings. Even if there are more places where money is needed in the future, it won't be as exaggerated as one trillion ringies.

In fact, it is still unknown whether the total value of the entire Impossible City is worth one trillion yuan.

In addition, even if the cost is really not considered, Elizabeth is confident that she can handle these matters within 10 billion ringgits.

"This little bit of gold is just a drop in the bucket for me!" Shaking his head, Li De said casually.

After all, even he himself did not have an exact number for the wealth he had plundered in Iluber.

"Thank you for your gift, master." After hearing what Reed said, Elizabeth had nothing else to say except thank you.

However, after Reed handed it over to her with the magic bag, Elizabeth realized that she was too shocked too early.

Because what Li De took out was not only the gold worth one trillion, but also a pile of jewelry that looked very valuable.

"Master." Elizabeth couldn't help but say as she looked at the pile of jewelry in front of her.

"Put away the figurines as gifts for missions outside. Whatever you have, they will have too. I won't show favoritism." Of course, Reed knew what Elizabeth wanted to say, so he spoke slowly.

"Yes, master!" Elizabeth said with a smile on her face.

After all, there is no woman who doesn't like jewelry. Although the artistic talent of the dwarves in Middle-earth is not as good as that of the elves, their craftsmanship is also quite superb.

There was a huge pile of various jewel ornaments in front of Elizabeth, and not a single one was of poor quality. After all, those that were of poor quality would not be good enough to be sent to the treasury of the kingdom under the mountain.

"By the way, remember to help me stockpile ten tons of mithril later." Li De suddenly said after slapping his forehead.

"Ten tons of mithril? I've made note of that, master!" Elizabeth's expression looked a little strange when she heard that.

Because in the real world, mithril is not a rare commodity. At most, it can be regarded as an ordinary commodity that is a little expensive.

After all, in the original novel, the quality of a sword is often determined by how much mithril is added to it.

Even the lowest quality sword has mithril added to it.

After all, a sword without mithril cannot transmit magic power, and naturally cannot become a weapon of a magic swordsman.

As for Li De's hoarding of mithril, it was just a preparation for the kind of mission world that requires spending money that he might encounter in the future.

You should know that in many magical worlds, mithril is a rare material, and its value far exceeds that of gold. This is the case in the Lord of the Rings world that I have visited before.

It seems that such high production of mithril in the real world is actually quite rare.

"Well, serve me in bed!" Li De said immediately.

"Yes, master, please follow me, I will help you bathe and change clothes." Elizabeth said respectfully.

After most of the day, Li De, who had let go of some of his anger, left the Lawless City.

"Welcome back, master!" As soon as Li De appeared in the lobby seat on the top floor of the Siyue Chamber of Commerce in the royal capital, he heard Gama's voice.

"Get up!" Li De said immediately.

"Yes, master!" Gamma said, then stood up and looked at Li De.

"Where are the others?" Li De asked.

"Master, Beta is on a book signing tour recently, Ipsilon has been invited to perform in a certain territory of the Kingdom of Oriana, Alpha, Delta and Ita are at the base camp, and Zeta and Victoria have gone to some ruins." Gamma answered slowly.

"Call all personnel!" Nodding, Li De immediately used the mind communication contract to convey the message to everyone.

"My Lord, listen to your words!" Victoria sent the message first, followed by others who followed suit.

"Zeta, are you still investigating?" Li De asked immediately.

"Master, Victoria and I have completed the investigation of the ancient ruins. Although we have found traces left by the cult, we have not found the cult's stronghold." Zeta answered meticulously.

"Well, what about the others besides Elizabeth? Do they have any important matters on hand?" Reed continued to ask.

"Shadow, you're always available." Alpha was the first to send the message.

"BOSS, Delta has just finished hunting, nothing happened." Delta also sent a message.

"Master, although I am on the way to a book signing, I have already completed the signing for today and there is nothing important." Beta followed.

"Master, I am here in the residence of Marquis Jeff of the Kingdom of Oriana. I just finished a dinner and there is nothing important to do." Ipsilon followed.

"Master, your summons is much more important than my research." Ita finally reported.

"Then get ready. I will teleport you back to the capital in half an hour and then hold a small meeting."

"understand!"
