The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

Susan came to Rose County, of course not because she wanted to wander around and demonstrate to Concubine Ti, but she had ulterior motives. Originally, Concubine Ti invited several envoys of the great lord to discuss something that would be of great benefit to Rose County. and was very confident that they could be persuaded, but after Susan arrived, she secretly played some tricks to change the minds of the envoys of the two great lords, and finally decided to take a conservative and wait-and-see attitude. It's unlikely that the talks will collapse, but this important cooperation plan is obviously going to be shelved for the time being, which makes Tiffany extremely angry.

But worse things are yet to come.

The last ray of sunshine in the sky also disappeared from the end of the horizon, and darkness descended on the earth. The lights of thousands of houses in the Rose City faded from the brilliance of the day, and the night became more mysterious and charming.

In the west of the city, a group of splendid towers stand tall and majestic, almost no less than the City Hall of Rose City, which shows the extraordinaryness of its owner.

In fact, its owner does have a very important position in Rose City. The famous Childe family is known to everyone in the city. If it is divided according to the standards of the Star Alliance, Its level has reached the highest diamond-level standard. Not only is the Childe family thriving and powerful, but it also plays a decisive role in several important business fields, both internally and externally. Political, but it is one of the recognized giants among the unofficial forces. Its existence has also raised the overall strength of Rose City by almost half a grade.

Outside the gate of the Childe family, a dark crowd gathered, all eagerly waiting for something.

"Tread, step!"

A beast cart appeared from the straight and wide bluestone road, and the people suddenly became commotion.

"I'm coming……"

"I didn't wait in vain tonight. She will come."

"After all, it's an invitation from the Childe family, so she has to show face no matter what."

"..."

A beautiful woman in a black dress, sitting in an open animal carriage, slowly approached the Childe family. She was like a demon in the dark night, exuding a thrilling temptation. Her every frown and smile could seduce everyone. Thinking of all the desires in everyone's heart, it is Susan.

This time she didn't deliberately release that depraved ability. This time people didn't lose control when she first came to Rose City, but they were still lost.

Accompanied by countless obsessed gazes, the beast vehicle carried Susan and slowly entered the door of the Childe family, leaving only a sound of wonder.

After destroying the cooperation between several big counties, he did not intend to leave Rose City immediately, but wandered around the city every day, participating in various high society parties and banquets. The invitation from the Childe family was not the first Second-rate.

Regarding this, Di Fei could only stare blankly, after all, the nature of a territory and a kingdom are different.

As far as the kingdom is concerned, the monarch is above all else, and it dominates the life and death of everyone in the kingdom, but the lord does not have that kind of absolute power. Except for the army and municipal institutions directly controlled by him, his people are often not under the control of the lord , especially in an open territory like Rose County, as long as they follow the laws of the territory and pay taxes, everything else is free. Even the lords cannot order them to do or not to do anything.

Similarly, some unofficial lower-level forces in the territory, such as families, mercenary groups, guilds, chambers of commerce, martial arts, etc., are only attached to the lord, not direct power. Even the lord is very fond of such forces. Rely on respect, and dare not offend casually, otherwise, if they are unhappy, they may attach to another territory at any time.Just like the relationship between Jiuyang County and Tiandi Martial Arts, Ye Ling can only use the power of Teague and his martial arts through some special means.

Therefore, Concubine Di couldn't tell those unofficial lower-level forces that she doesn't welcome Susan, so don't invite her.In this way, Susan continued to be rampant in Huahou's territory.

The charm of a disaster-level woman is quite terrifying. From traffickers to nobles and celebrities, they are all crazy about fallen angels. Many civilians don't want to work, and they guard the place where Susan appears all day long, just to see her On the one hand, many high-ranking people also sent invitations to her like snowflakes. Because of the arrival of a woman, the peaceful Rose City became impetuous.

If Susan is just a vase with a beautiful appearance, that’s all. The problem is that she is still a very intelligent and connotative woman. After leaving Rose City in this way, his loyalty to Rose City has been shaken.

Don't underestimate this kind of vacillation. The lord has no direct control over the subordinate forces. Once their positions and attitudes change, potential hidden dangers may arise. For example, during the war, several large mercenary regiments in Rose City One or two words that are unwilling to contribute to support, or just mean it, will have a great impact on the combat power of the territory, which cannot be ignored.

Like a beautiful moth, Susan silently corrodes this ninth-level county.

Arriving at a certain place in Childe's house, it suddenly became lively. An open-air party was ready, and the waiters and maids were busy working, delivering fine wine, fruits, and food in a steady stream. Several musicians played melodious The melody, the parties of the Childe family are always very high-end and high-end. Apart from Susan, there are many guests of all kinds. The atmosphere of the scene is quite warm, but not noisy.

Susan's appearance quickly attracted everyone's attention, and some people greeted her one after another. Although she has only been in Rose City for a few days, after attending several important parties, Susan has already met many people in Rose City. Celebrities already have good relationships.

Like a famous lady, she smiled at the guests who greeted her, and walked towards the center of the party until she stopped in front of an old man: "Mr. Ellington, I am very glad to be invited by you , Susan is very honored."

This old man is the host of today's party, and also the owner of the Childe family, patriarch Ellington.

On the surface, Ellington is a very ordinary person, except for his rosy face that does not look old, there is nothing special about him. At least any guest here is more imposing than him.

But if you really think he's mediocre, you'd be dead wrong.

The dim eyes suddenly became deep, and this ordinary old man suddenly had a feeling that he could tolerate the chaos of the universe. No matter who was in front of him, he would feel so small.

Because Ellington is a superpower in the realm of chaos, at this level, if he deliberately shows his aura, he looks no different from ordinary people.

However, that astonishing aura was fleeting, and Ellington had returned to normal, still the ordinary old man, making you think that what you just discovered was just an illusion.

Of course, Susan wouldn't think so.

What a powerful old guy, did he want to find out about me, but it's useless!

A smile appeared on Ellington's face, like a warm host: "Miss Susan, you are too polite. On behalf of the Childe family, I welcome you."

Susan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ellington, I really can't refuse, whether it's for the Childe family or you."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that my old bones are still somewhat famous."

"You are joking, Mr. Ellington. In the vertical and horizontal alliance, and even the entire ancient wilderness, Mr. Ellington and the Childe family are a banner."

"..."

The two sides chatted easily, like the host and guest enjoying a party, but each had their own thoughts.

Needless to say, Susan, ever since she instigated several big lords to fight against Rose County, Tiffany's life has not been so easy. Those unofficial lower-level forces who are only attached to Rose County but are not loyal have keen senses. Smell, they must be aware of this. If they mediate in secret, these people's determination to support Tiffany will be even less firm. This is why Susan came to Rose City for a walk.

Of course, she can't charm these giants. For example, the head of a family like Ellington, no matter how powerful she is, it is impossible to charm her, so she must use other means to solve it.

As for Ellington, in addition to being a Chaos-level superpower, he is also a shrewd businessman. The first starting point for everything he does is the survival and interests of the family, not loyalty.Childe settled in Rose County only because this ninth-level county ruled by the number one beauty has a rapid momentum, and can bring huge profits and benefits to his family at the same time of rapid development, that's all.

In fact, the Childe family has never been associated with the word "loyalty", but a famous family of wall grass, which was absorbed by the last territory that Tiffany defeated. At that time, the Childe family discovered the former The lord will not have a good result in the upcoming war with Huahou, so he cleverly used various excuses to perfunctory and delay, and did not contribute in the war, but only deliberately gave some financial help, so he did not offend Concubine Ti , and Tiffany did have a reason to need this family, so after the annexation war, the Childe family was not affected much and continued to take root in Rose County.

The same thing happened to the Childe family countless times, but they were always able to survive the change of the owner of the territory again and again, which is due to their personality of adapting to the wind.

Now, Ellington has also noticed the conflict between Tiffany and Susan, and this second beauty who suddenly appeared is very powerful, and has the possibility of threatening Rose County, so the Childe family has another Leave a way out for yourself in advance, and build a good relationship with Susan first.

This kind of delicate public relations work is a technical job. You can't show up to Susan and anger Tiffany at the same time, so you have to handle it very artistically. Of course Ellington is well versed in this, so He just invited Susan to a seemingly pure entertainment party. Everyone talked about romance and enjoyed a wonderful evening, but he didn't mention a word about politics.

As a big family, it's normal to invite a famous beauty who came to Rose County as a guest. The Queen of Flowers personally took Susan around that day for the sake of saving face. Could it be that our Childe family Can't send the invitation letter?

It was a short, literally non-political conversation, but Susan and Ellington knew what it meant, and in the end everyone learned where the other stood.

Even if a war broke out between the two beauties, the Childers would be conservative, and Susan was just as happy to see that there was a mutual agreement.

Finally, Susan smiled and said: "Mr. Ellington, you are really a wise family leader, no wonder the Childe family will have more and more influence under your wise management, and I also believe that Childe The family will have a brighter future."

The last words are puns. Apart from the polite blessing, there is another meaning, that is, if Susan can really win this war, she will provide the Childe family with better development opportunities and space , Of course, these cannot be said directly. This is the art of political communication.

Ellington also smiled heartily: "Hehe, Miss Susan, then I will accept your precious words. Ah, I have to greet other guests, please feel free to enjoy this evening to the fullest, treat it as your own Same here."

Now that he has reached a consensus with Susan, Ellington stopped writing and went to find other people. If he talked to Susan all night, it would not be like an ordinary guest-host meeting, even if Tiffany understood why The thing is, superficial skills still have to be done, this is the rule of the game, and everyone has to abide by it.

Farewell to Childe's patriarch, Tiffany was in a very happy mood, because she had managed another subsidiary force in Rose County. Although this was already expected, she was able to hear Ellington's promise in person. Of course it will be better.

In Rose County, the superficial forces like the Childe family have basically met each other, and the affiliated forces in Rose County are also divided. It seems that there is no need to stay any longer, and they can leave here soon. Bar.

Before that, though, it's good to have some fun to pass the time.

Fallen angels also have the ability to absorb the power of the body through some means. The stronger the person who is charmed by her, the stronger the power that can be absorbed.

So Susan began to walk into the crowd, and quickly, many young nobles gathered around her. They were deeply attracted by this beautiful flower like bees, and they lingered beside her endlessly. willing to leave.

Skillfully coping, Susan hunted her prey among these people.

Although there are many handsome and powerful young nobles among them, Susan can't find them, otherwise it will annoy the forces behind them, such as the future young master Aiwen, who is being vigorously cultivated by the Childe family, Although she is young and promising, Susan can't use the charm indiscriminately, so as not to tear her face with Ellington.As for those with less influence behind her, she didn't have so many scruples.

After some screening, Susan initially determined her goal.

This is a young man named Haiwei, 32 years old, from a family that has just risen and is somewhat famous in Rose City. For this age, he is already considered very powerful. What's even better is that he has just inherited the family and has the right to speak. He is the most suitable object, his personal ability is helpful to him, and on the other hand, it also hits Susan, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, before Susan was about to make a move, another person walked into the party venue.

Also very young, even younger than Haiwei, only about twenty years old.

Susan's eyes lit up, because she found a better target.

This young man who has just arrived does not have any family background in Rose County, but he is the most worthwhile prey!
