This time back to Spark City, it was more leisurely than before.
The scenery along the way was beautiful, and from time to time, one could hear Luyao's exclamations of praise from the carriage behind.
The prince's territory is very large.
The territory includes areas directly under the jurisdiction of the prince.
There was also a duke.
Including the newly appointed Duke named Li.
This territory is the only land in the world that has a prince and two dukes.
The manors of these two dukes are located on the two wings of Spark City, one on the left and one on the right.
The original owner of the manor inherited by Duke Li was a baron. Naturally, a baron's manor is not large. Perhaps it is not easy to promote him too much since he has just come to power, so the king has not allocated him a more decent manor.
But this is the hostile force closest to Su Liu's Spark City. If Su Liu wants to completely take over this territory, these two dukes must be dealt with first.
As for the other barons, they were all small fry, some of whom were originally retainers of the prince. In addition, when Liu Weizheng reported to him on official business, he mentioned two or three manors destroyed by the rebels. There were not many vampires left in the territory.
They were traveling on the official road belonging to the owner of the territory. There was a striking rose logo on the carriage, and no vampire dared to approach and question them.
At sunset, they returned to the City of Sparks.
The system panel has been updated again.
[Territory: Spark City]
[City Lord: Su Liu]
[Hidden Identity: Spiritual Leader of the Resistance]
[Agent: Dai Ning]
Talent Reserve: 1611/∞
【Basic equipment: 4/7】
【Reputation: 49959】
[Talent Skill: Disaster Revelation Lv3]
Potential: Quantum Tunneling
[Bloodline: Bloodline Omega (Growth Type)]
Su Liu glanced at the reputation value and was very surprised.
He could understand that Luyao's loyalty could reach 100%, but why did Sutao also give him 100% loyalty? Isn't there something wrong with the way this loyalty was calculated?
【System, calibrate reputation value.】
[System: Alright, Lord City Lord~]
[System: Calibrating...]
【Calibration completed.】
[Reputation: 49959]
It’s actually correct?
Su Liu was stunned, thought for a few seconds, and changed the way of asking questions.
Please enter the reputation value calculation method.
[System: Great~]
[Reputation value calculation method: extract the highest value of the character's favorability towards the city lord at a certain moment.]
"......" Su Liu was really convinced by this useless semi-automatic system. If he blindly believed in the data, he didn't know how many pitfalls would be waiting for him in the future.
People's hearts are complicated. Maybe these people are really loyal to him at a certain moment, but if he lets them go and doesn't know how to manage them, one day he will be outmaneuvered.
Gratitude and hatred have the same origin.
At this time, Xun Ruozhang and a group of beautiful Omegas came over carrying flower baskets.
"City Lord?" Xun Ruozhang was a little surprised, as if he was particularly excited to see the City Lord for two consecutive days. "You... these two?"
"These are the etiquette officers I brought with me to you. They are affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," Su Liu said calmly, "Anyone who wants to learn this can follow these two."
"Okay, okay," Xun Ruozhang looked at Luyao and Sutao carefully. The two Omegas in front of him were so good-looking and had such great temperament. It turned out that they were etiquette teachers. No wonder they were so extraordinary.
"Then shall I take them to the manor?" Xun Ruozhang asked.
"First, arrange for them to live in the residential area, and then find suitable members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for me," Su Liu said. "Our Spark City will soon establish diplomatic relations with other lords."
"Yes, City Lord," Xun Ruozhang had no doubts. Following Su Liu's eye signal, he retreated with the few rebel companions beside her.
"City Lord, you..." Isn't it a bit too hasty to entrust such an important matter to us? Lu Yao couldn't believe it.
"You don't have confidence?" Su Liu's eyes revealed just the right tone of "You are my favorite successor to the next city lord", which was perfectly understood by Lu Yao.
"...I..." Luyao gritted her teeth. She felt that she was being tightly controlled by City Lord Su Liu. "I will try my best."
"Come on," Su Liu encouraged with a smile, and then gave a few simple instructions to Su Tao who remained silent.
So he took them for a stroll and familiarized themselves with the City of Spark.
When the sun set, Su Liu took them to the residential area.
It's brightly lit here.
Very lively.
But amidst this noise, there is a discordant voice.
"Sir, I want to leave Spark City," a male Omega wearing coarse linen clothes turned his back to Su Liu and his group, and whispered a request to the manager of the residential area in a soft voice.
Only a few people know the entrance and exit of Spark City. It is an ingenious Bagua formation. Therefore, ordinary people who want to leave must report to their superiors in advance and register.
"What's the reason?" The manager, a gentle yet resolute female Omega, raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Are you applying to fight too?"
"I just don't want to stay here anymore," the male Omega said weakly.
"Don't want to stay here?" The steward's eyes were filled with condemnation. "Are you thinking of leaving Spark City? This is a big deal. I need to report it to Minister Xun. You go back and wait for news."
So the male Omega nodded obediently, bowed and left.
He lowered his head and ran towards the residential area in small steps. When he turned sideways, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a little red. When he moved, he was like a willow swaying in the wind. Without looking at her face, you could tell that she was an extremely beautiful little wife.
"Huh?" Lu Yao muttered softly, "Why does he look so much like Ji Lian?"
She had only had a brief contact with Ji Lian when she went to Su Liu to seek protection that day, but Ji Lian was so beautiful, and she had a kind of pure and innocent air that was rarely seen in this world. Such an Omega was actually still a free person. Lu Yao was very surprised and looked at her a few more times.
Su Liu walked over and asked the manager, "What was the name of that Omega just now?"
The steward was flattered to see Su Liu. She quickly performed a standard salute and replied respectfully, "His name is Ji He."
Ji Lian.
Ji He?
Ji Lian and Ji He both take their mother’s surname?
This is quite common.
Under this kind of social system, there are many Alphas who are greedy for pleasure and abandon their wives and children.
Wasn’t Xun Ruozhang in “The Mandate of Heaven” also abandoned in this way?
He should have thought of it earlier.
However, the "sad heroine" of "Tomb Sweeping" is actually Ji Lian's cousin?
He was caught off guard.
It turns out that Ji He is here with me so early.
I was still worried that I hadn't caught up.
Su Liu was overwhelmed with emotions.
[System: Starting character analysis, yes/no?]
【yes. 】
[Analyzing the character...]
[Analysis completed.]
[Target Person: Human Male Omega]
[Name: Ji He]
[Faction: Broken, Unable to Read]
[Character status: depressed]
Loyalty: 59
59?
Su Liu turned around and looked at the reputation value again. It turned out that the remaining fraction was contributed by Ji He.
Yes, it's a miracle that a young wife who has been struggling to survive in the clutches of a few selfish and shameless Alphas all her life, whose soul and body have been exploited by the powerful for a long time, can be mentally normal.
59 should be the highest value that Ji He, in a broken state, can give to Su Liu.
Su Liu whispered something to Qi Fengling, asking Chu Liu to turn into a little bat and come over to confirm.
After all, Chu Liu is Ji Lian's childhood sweetheart, so she must be very familiar with Ji Lian's relatives.
"Su Liu," Qi Fengling seemed a little dissatisfied with leaving Su Liu for such a small matter, "They look so similar, and their last name is Ji, so it's probably what you think."
Su Liu glared at him and said, "Go quickly. I don't want to say it again."
Qi Fengling looked at Su Liu sadly, and seeing that Su Liu had not changed her mind, she had no choice but to go like a young wife-in-law.
After a few breaths, Qi Fengling returned to Su Liu and nodded to her implicitly.
Su Liu blinked and instructed the steward, "Tell him to come to me in person tomorrow and tell me about his matter in person."
"Yes," the steward agreed very much. Spark City could be said to be the best place in the world for Omegas to live. However, there were still people who didn't know how to appreciate their blessings. The steward was also puzzled.
The other side.
Ji He, incontinent with tears, ran back to his residence.
He briefly checked his luggage which had been packed long ago, and then dragged his bucket to fetch water.
He is very clean and wipes his body every day.
After being snatched from the pageant, he was not sent directly to the estate of the then-owner of the territory.
Although Bosi is a third-generation vampire, he represents the image of His Royal Highness the Prince. Therefore, even though his title is not high, he is still the most distinguished and privileged class in the territory.
However, the human dignitaries who have some understanding of Platinum are well aware that if they want to do anything, this first stage is the easiest.
Ji He was very handsome. Some people said that he was 30% similar to Queen Dai Ning.
He is weak and simple, making him a perfect plaything.
Therefore, she was spotted by the local dignitaries at an early age and was coaxed and deceived into bringing her back to the mansion.
He lived a rich life for a few days and thought he had met his true love, but the Alpha named Lin who was playing with him soon revealed his true face.
And that Alpha's partners, distant cousins, and competitors all acted as if they were crazy about him, but did a lot of dirty things in the name of love.
That was the only time he resisted, and he bit the man named Lin hard.
In order to punish him, the man threw him into the baron's manor to serve as a low-class blood slave of "Taoyao's Promise".
"......" Ji He fell to the ground in pain.
The water in the wooden barrel was too heavy, and he had to carry it several times before he could take a bath.
"Why did you fall again? You're so weak." A female Omega who had just arrived happened to be passing by. Seeing that he was not pretending, she came over to help him, "Let me help you."
"Help today, help tomorrow, we need help every day," another Omega's mocking voice soon echoed from the other side. "We're all self-sufficient, so who's nobler than who? Does anyone think they're the master?"
"Hey, new guy, don't be fooled by his weak face," another Omega's clear voice sounded not far away. "Last time, I took pity on him and helped him, but he was so kind that he thought helping him was my duty. That day, he blocked my way back home, blinked his seductive eyes, and handed me the bucket. I was really... pissed off."
They said these things not because they were jealous of Ji He, but because they were really disappointed in him.
They are all wanderers in the world, and as the baron's careful selection, they are all remarkable in appearance. There are no blood clan Alphas in the city who are picky about them and treat them differently.
Without that kind of life-and-death test, and with the stewards giving them ideological education from time to time at morning meetings, a seed of "independence" was planted in their hearts.
When we achieve ideological liberation, who would bother to envy others?
What is an Alpha that deserves my love?
At this moment, Ji He burst into tears, complaining as if he was about to collapse, "Why are you so mean? Why do you force me like this?"
The girls surrounding him were speechless.
"You have your own problems, yet you blame us," a male Omega passing by carrying a shoulder pole sneered, "What male Omega is as useless as you? You can't even lift a bucket that a female Omega can. Are you pretending? But we are all Omegas. We won't enjoy your weakness like an Alpha would."
As he spoke, he walked over, picked up the overturned barrel with one hand and weighed it, "It's only about ten pounds. I thought it was much heavier."
There was still half a bucket of water in the wooden barrel. The male Omega picked out a few dead leaves floating in the water and handed the bucket back to Ji He. "Don't cry, it's annoying to hear you cry."
Ji He sobbed and wiped his tears, he didn't reach out to take it.
He was in great pain. He had not expected that after leaving Lin Changping, he would be bullied wherever he went.
Is he really a canary that cannot live without its breeder, as Lin Changping said?
Perhaps, the only way to be safe is to return to that man named Lin.
"What are you doing? How can you bully him?" Just then, the steward came over and saw this scene. His tone was inevitably filled with a hint of stern anger. "Our Spark City is the home of all homeless Omegas. How can you be so ostracizing?"
She rarely went inside the residential area, where all the Omegas had miserable lives. Living together, apart from sympathy, what could possibly go wrong? Unexpectedly, tonight was such an eye-opener.
"Sir, you don't know, he..." Everyone was talking at once, and some girls' eyes were red with anxiety, looking even more aggrieved than Ji He.
"Help him up," said the steward firmly.
Several girls who were nearby had to hold back their tears and go to help Ji He.
Ji He did not appreciate it. He pushed them away angrily, stood up, and without taking the bucket or thanking the manager, he ran towards his residence crying without even looking up.
"...," the manager was stunned. She was not stupid and finally realized that something was wrong. "Is he mentally ill?"
Everyone then complained bitterly.
Several female Omegas who had been holding back their tears also burst into tears.
Some even said that she had a very close companion who sacrificed himself in the Baron's manor just to save this crying Omega.
People like Ji He live just to suck other people's blood.
The manager was greatly stimulated.
It seems that all the painstaking ideological education this week has been in vain.
Therefore, when she saw Ji He again, her attitude towards him became a little colder.
The steward said to Ji He, who opened the door with tears on his face and head lowered, in a businesslike manner, "The city lord wants you to go to the office hall tomorrow. You can tell the city lord in person."
"Okay," Ji He said with a dead heart, like a walking corpse. He didn't even say hello and immediately closed the door.
The manager was furious.
Which bastard taught Ji He etiquette?
