Chapter 24: Too Young for Home Delivery?
army?
Chen Shuang raised her eyes to look at He Li, waiting for her next words.
The heir of the Karl family, nearly consumed by political schemes and maneuvering, spoke eloquently, "You're short of people here, aren't you? I mean, real, large-scale human beings."
Hurley explained her plan: "As long as I spread the word that I am doing well here, I will be able to go back and kill them soon."
She nodded at the bread on the table and smiled. "Add to that the temptation of these grains, and someone will be desperate enough to do something."
Chen Shuang put down the dishes and joked, "Diverting trouble to the east?"
He Li moved the stool and walked behind Chen Shuang, gently squeezing her shoulders. "This is called a win-win solution, your Excellency."
"You will get people, weapons, bargaining chips with those people, and a helper who is well versed in political tactics."
And she will return in glory by stepping on the faces of those people and eliminate the long-standing rivals for the family.
The thorny rose of the Karl family obediently retracted its thorns, gently lifted the hem of its skirt, and performed the most solemn etiquette.
"Dealing with them will be easy for you," Hurley said. "And I will be your channel to the kingdom, and I will never betray you."
She clenched her palms against her heart and said, "If I break my oath, you can take my life at any time."
【You are using "Witch's Secret"】
[Spiritual power determination successful, you have successfully established a connection with [Thorny Rose Heli]]
Please remember your oath.
Although she didn't say anything, the other person's voice rang directly in her mind, and Hu Li lowered her head in even greater awe.
The lost magnificent temple, the entrenched dragon, the angel born of light... and the seemingly gentle priest in front of him.
Chen Shuang said: "I agree with your plan, and I hope this cooperation can last forever."
"Then please start now," she smiled, "the rose is mine."
Hurley suddenly felt her heart skip a beat and quickly turned her head away to cover it up.
"Okay," she quickly adjusted her mood and regained her youthful vigor, "We should do this first..."

"Master, something bad has happened!"
When the servant stumbled into the manor, Master Colin was happily hugging his fourth lover.
He fiercely kicked the panicked servant and said, "Why are you yelling? I've already dealt with that little lunatic from the Karl family. What else is there to worry about?"
Thinking that the Karl family had no successors and that the property left behind would be his sooner or later, the head of the Colin family's anger subsided a little. He glanced at the servant and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's news from He Li," the servant who was kicked to the ground quickly got up and knelt down holding a letter.
"Those remaining outside the Lost Lands reported that they found a skeletal carrier pigeon on the edge. They took some effort to intercept the letter on it. Please take a look, sir."
The relaxed expression of the Colin family head disappeared, and he quickly opened the crumpled envelope.
It was indeed Hurley's handwriting, and the ink at the end was not even completely dry.
He scanned the letter at a glance and frowned.
This is a letter of peace written by Heli Carr to her family.
The first two paragraphs used extremely dirty words to curse the Colin family, and also criticized the Colin family head, the instigator, as worse than an animal. Then there was a proud boast, roughly describing how she survived the disaster in the lost land of exile, and miraculously found a huge amount of grain stored in a certain ruins. She hoped that the family would send someone to help her transport the grain back. Finally, she concluded that she must act in secret and avoid the bastards of the Colin family.
The whole article is full of emotion, especially the first paragraph when cursing, the true feelings are revealed and every word is precious.
At the bottom of the envelope was a simple map with the approximate location marked on it.
Patriarch Colin snorted coldly and grasped the map in his hand.
The servant then held out a slightly larger package: "This package and the envelope were intercepted at the same time."
He flattered, "It was thanks to the foresight of the Patriarch that he hired a Light Mage to guard the perimeter that we were able to successfully stop that cunning Skeleton Bird."
"Need I tell you?" Patriarch Colin ignored the servant's flattery, opened the cloth wrapping the outside, and looked at the white and soft bread inside.
Is this a magic item?
The sharp-eyed head of the Colin family twisted the crust of the bread, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"It's food."
It seems that this little crazy girl Hurley has encountered something terrible.
Even though the Colin family occupied the largest food supply area in Oletis, it could only maintain food abundance for a period of time.
Especially since he has other animals to feed, that little bit of food is even more insufficient.
Patriarch Colin bent his fingers and tapped the table twice. After a moment, he left the map behind and crumpled the envelope into a ball of crumbs.
He ordered, "Notify the young master to lead the army to the Lost Land secretly and make sure to find that crazy little He Li and those precious foods."
Then he said lightly, "The Lost Land has been affecting the peace of the kingdom's border for a long time. This time, let's consider it as the Colin family eliminating this harm to the people."
"By the way," he said, "remember to invite the senior wizards from the church to come along."
The treacherous crocodile sighed, "Poor Heli has been bewitched by the evil darkness. I can only bear the pain and purify her along with the dark creatures in the Forgotten Land."
With a high-level wizard in charge, no matter what tricks that little lunatic wants to play, it will be useless.
Still too young, Holly Carr.
Patriarch Colin thought arrogantly.
The servant nodded in agreement.
Even though he had been in the Colin family for many years, he was still shocked from time to time by the head of the family's decisiveness and willingness to sacrifice.
The cost of hiring a high-level wizard is sky-high, and this time it cost a huge amount of money. In addition, the Colin family had to dispatch a private army for this purpose, which was another bottomless pit of expenses, and it was all spent on Hurley alone.
The master's foresight was far beyond the reach of a servant like him.
This kind of "decisiveness" has helped the family overcome difficulties countless times, and ultimately supported the Colin family to reach the noble status it holds today, second only to the royal family.
"It's unfortunate for the heir of the Karl family to meet the master of the family," the servant rubbed his arms, "it seems she will definitely die this time."
After surviving a disaster, he will be forced to death again. Fate really loves to play jokes on the Carl family.
But these had nothing to do with the servants. He started running and rushed to find the invincible young master of the Colin family.
"Master! Master! The head of the family has something very important for you to do!"

Dark Temple
The elf and the lich met in the hall of the temple, passed each other by, and paid no attention to each other.
The god didn't even spare a glance at the lich who was standing there in a daze, and only wanted to find his priest.
The elf's body grew rapidly under the special guidance of the power. It used to be three heads tall, but now it is almost four heads tall. It can speak more fluently and walk more steadily.
God thought happily.
At this rate, he would soon be able to restore his tall and majestic image.
"Something's not right. How could it change so much?"
The lich's voice gradually stopped the god's smile. He looked back and saw the pale lich staring at the statue of the Ruler of Darkness placed in the center with a very puzzled expression.
He said, "He was such a powerful figure before, how could he become like this?"
What will it become?
God quietly retreated.
After staring at his sculpture for a while, he couldn't see anything wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
The lich replied: "Sculpture, wrong."
The god glanced up and down and said, "That's right."
The height, body shape, and even the length of the hair are all reproduced one-to-one, and the carvings are vivid and lifelike.
It quietly overlooks everything, inadvertently exuding the supreme majesty of a god sitting high on the throne.
Even he himself sometimes wondered if his true self had arrived.
"wrong."
The lich dug out his remaining memories and said with more certainty, "This is very wrong."
"God actually looks very fierce."
god:"?"
The lich clearly remembered that the god who ruled over darkness possessed incomparably powerful strength, and beneath the hideous mask was... well, his memory was a little fuzzy.
The recently revived lich suddenly crashed, shook his head, and finally pulled himself out of the vortex of memories.
Although he couldn't remember it clearly, he remembered very clearly how he felt when he saw the true face of the god.
It was a huge shock that could not be erased by time.
Under the mask, what contrasts with the boundless power is only an even more majestic appearance.
The lich looked at the sculpture with an overly delicate and gorgeous face and shook his head slightly.
There is a world of difference.
Sensing the elf's resistance, the lich paused for a moment, looked at the elf cub that was only as tall as his waist, and said, "You are so stubborn."
god:"……"
Who is stubborn after all?
The lich said, "As someone once favored by the God, no one in this temple knows Him better than me."
Looking at his expression of "Do you understand God or do I understand God", the elf couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
God: “…Heh.”
The Tiangang is reversed.
Just as he was considering whether to mobilize his strength and tie the lich's mouth with vines, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, followed by an unignorable vibration under his feet.
This is a temple.
This vibration... Is the dead face of the God of Light coming to hit me?
The voice amplified by magic appeared clearly outside the temple, carrying a strong sense of provocation.
The man spoke in a greasy, aristocratic tone, but his words were filled with undisguised malice.
He said lazily, "Hand over the food obediently, you scum of the Karl family."
Warning! Warning!
[The Dark Temple is under invasion. Please expel the invaders immediately and protect the temple's property.]
[Note: Please use appropriate means to deal with intruders, including but not limited to deterring, driving away, killing, and winning over]
Chen Shuang, who had been waiting attentively recently, pushed open the door without panic, and even looked at the message that popped up from the system with some anticipation.
You have encountered an extremely arrogant nobleman.
[A noble heir from the Kingdom of Thorns, his long years of barbaric upbringing have made him forget what humility is. Perhaps a memorable beating will remind him of the virtues of a sword-wielding knight.]
Chen Shuang looked at the dark mass of cavalry outside the temple and nodded with satisfaction.
Home delivery, good reviews.
"These guests who have come from afar seem a bit impatient. We can't let them wait too long."
There was a burst of excited responses in the mental network, mixed with some cold or calm responses.
When the first sharp spear was thrown into the temple, Chen Shuang looked up with a colder look in her eyes.
[You are using "Divine Power Shock"]
