On the main road outside the gate of the imperial capital, the eldest son Reinhardt saw Dick off on behalf of the old duke who was busy with official duties.
Reinhardt looked behind Dick and saw that he only brought 30 people with him, and the woman looked so weak that he couldn't help but frown. He wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he couldn't even say a word he wanted to say.
Under his complicated gaze, Dick got into the carriage and headed for the canal dock in the suburbs.
"Do you think we'll be ambushed on the way back like we were last year?"
"I think if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will definitely happen."
"Uh…what ambush? What are you talking about?"
As the only ordinary person without fighting ability in the carriage, Xiao Ai felt a little uneasy when listening to the conversation between Dick and Rita. Honoka clenched her fists confidently, saying that if they encountered bad guys, she would protect everyone.
Dick smiled and took out a bunch of magic amulets from his space bracelet and handed them to the two.
"These are magic amulets that can save your life at critical moments. Be sure to wear them close to your body."
After taking the amulet handed over by Dick, Xiao Ai immediately put it around her neck. Then, feeling a little uneasy, she stuffed the pendant part into her collar. Only then did she pat her plump chest in relief and thanked Dick.
"Thank you, Dick-kun...ah! Should I call you Master-sama?"
"Call me that when outsiders are around, just call me Dick in private."
"Okay, Dick-kun."
As a Japanese, Xiao Ai's acceptance of traveling to another world is very high. Although she has only been here for less than three days, she has basically regained her composure. She also has a good impression of Dick who summoned her. Although he occasionally shows a naughty smile, he does not seem to be an evil person.
In addition, contrary to his seemingly young appearance, Dick is a complete adult on the inside, especially when he lowers his head in thought, that kind of coldness with a little bit of gloom, coupled with the handsome face of a half-elf, can cause considerable lethality to girls of almost all ages.
Xiao Ai thought she liked mature men who were older than her, but now that she had met a contrasting type like Dick, who looked young on the outside but mature on the inside, she found that she seemed to be more attracted to this type!
The relationship between master and maid...will there be nighttime service...ahhh!
In the next few days, Dick's return journey was calm, but the situation in the imperial capital suddenly changed the day after he left.
The assassins from the Dead Tree Party lurking in the imperial capital assassinated many cabinet officials one after another, causing the political situation, which had shown signs of returning to calm, to become turbulent again.
For the politicians in the imperial capital, assassination is usually a last-ditch effort, which they will only use when they are desperate. Once it is used, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction.
During the reign of Hesse V, assassinations were rampant in the imperial capital. If people could not solve problems with words in the court during the day, they would kill the person who caused the problem with knives at night. In the end, because the killings were too brutal, everyone was forced to calm down and make three rules.
Therefore, in today's imperial capital, assassinations are still used, but they are no longer targeted at the upper class.
However, the rules have now been broken. Although the top leaders soon discovered that the assassins were a group of restorationist elves from the Dead Tree Party, no one could guarantee whether there were human employers behind them.
In order to calm the public anger and divert hatred, the Empire officially issued an announcement to launch a comprehensive crackdown on the Dead Tree Party, which also caused the small elven principalities to the west of the Empire that had been lingering on until now to tremble in fear, fearing that the Empire would take the opportunity to destroy them all.
On Dick's side, the group docked at the pier in the territory of Marquis Ulen. The news from the imperial capital had already appeared in the local newspaper before him. Dick bought a copy, read the contents, and thought that the Dead Tree Party was in big trouble this time.
Starting from the Marquisate, the only way to travel the next section is by carriage.
The road conditions in the northern region were more than a century worse than those in the imperial capital. Even though the carriage Dick and his companions were riding in had shock absorbers, the carriage was still very bumpy as it drove on the bumpy dirt road. Xiao Ai, who had a weak constitution, couldn't stand it on the first day and vomited all over the place.
"Yue... It hurts so much, I can't take it anymore..."
"Just bear with it and wait until we get home."
At this time, Xiao Ai was pale and lying weakly on the back seat of the carriage, with her head resting on Dick's thigh. Dick gently stroked Xiao Ai's hair and used his magic to relieve her pain.
But in the dizzy eyes of Xiao Ai, Dick is simply her angel.
But at this moment, Rita, who was sitting in the front row reading a book with ease, suddenly closed the book with a "snap" and glanced out the window.
"coming."
As soon as Rita finished speaking, two blazing fire snakes suddenly shot out from the forests on both sides of the road and flew towards the carriage at lightning speed.
Dick recognized it at a glance. It was the high-level magic "Fire Snake". The fire snake had a temperature of nearly two thousand degrees Celsius. At the same time, it was controlled by the caster and could fly flexibly in the air at an incredible speed.
Compared to a year ago, the assassin's true appearance has been significantly upgraded this time, but Dick's defense force is also no longer what it used to be.
He didn't even need to do anything, Lukeya flew out of the car window immediately. The mini dragon, which looked only half a foot long, took a deep breath and sucked in the two flying fire snakes.
When the attackers hiding in the woods saw this scene, they were all stunned.
However, this was not the end. Hongye, who was disguised as a coachman, raised his hand and fired a magic missile into the air. The cloud-piercing arrow exploded in mid-air. Not long after, there was the sound of horse hooves of a large group of cavalry approaching in front. Two heavily armored knights, one black and one white, led the way and charged with hundreds of cavalry, directly towards the assassins who were trying to ambush Dick.
"Master! We are here!"
The first person to rush to the carriage was Hei Qiangdai. The heroic female knight was holding a dusty magician in her hand and threw him in front of the carriage like a dead dog.
As for the other assassins, they were quickly dealt with by the reinforcements that arrived. In addition to the black and white spearmen, the two sisters Kasumi and Ayane also came. They worked together to capture another magician who was trying to escape.
Ayane originally wanted to take credit for it, but after seeing Honoka getting off the carriage, her expression suddenly became very surprised.
"My Lord, she, she..."
Ayane and Honoka were not familiar with each other, but they knew each other's existence, that they were half-sisters, but they only felt awkward when they met.
The one who committed the crime was naturally the main villain of the Dead or Alive series, Raidou. Ayane was the child born after the evil man Raidou raped his own siblings, while Honoka was raised by her mother-in-law and had almost never seen her biological father, Raidou.
However, Ayane and Honoka have no grudges against each other. Although they feel awkward when they meet, it is not to the point of a fight.
Soon, the assassins who were captured alive were gathered together. They were all dejected and looked like they had accepted defeat and were waiting to die.
Fortunately, Dick was not a bloodthirsty person. Except for the two magicians, all the other captives were sent to the Laguge Farmhouse, where they could enjoy the freedom of labor for the rest of their lives.
"Master, don't you want to interrogate them?" Bai Qiangdai asked.
"No need. I know exactly who sent these guys."
After meeting up with the reinforcements coming from his hometown, Dick saw that it was getting late, so he ordered them to set up camp on the spot.
Dick called Bai Qiangdai over and asked her about the situation in his hometown during the time he was back in the imperial capital. While walking and chatting, he walked into the tent that his subordinates had set up for him. Then Hei Qiangdai followed him in. Seeing this, the private army's cavalrymen tactfully kept their distance from the tent.
As the commander of the cavalry unit, the relationship between Black and White Gun Dai and Dick is no secret.
If the two men became cavalry captains simply by selling their bodies, their soldiers would definitely be dissatisfied. But these two men are so capable that the soldiers can't say anything strange and can only silently envy the governor's good fortune.
No! He now has a title and is already a lord.
Damn! I'm even more envious!
On the other side, Xiao Ai, who was still dizzy, stayed in the car and Rita took over the care of her. After eating some hot stew, she felt a little better and wanted to get off the car and walk around to breathe some fresh air outside.
After Xiao Ai got off the car, she was first shocked by the bright starry sky above her head, and then looked around the camp curiously. The soldiers around her saw that this sickly little beauty got off the lord's car, and naturally labeled her "the lord's woman" in their hearts. At most, they stole a few glances at her, but no one dared to act rashly.
Over the past year, Dick's series of actions in Laguge have earned him both a reputation for virtue and prestige. The military and civilians in the territory love and respect him very much. His mere lust is nothing serious!
Even in the eyes of some people, this little flaw is a plus, making it easier for them to cater to their preferences.
Xiao Ai walked around the camp and gradually felt at ease seeing that everyone was very friendly to her. As a result, she came to a large tent with no one around. She could vaguely hear some strange noises coming from the tent, but they were not very clear.
So driven by curiosity, Xiao Ai moved over.
"Master, I haven't seen you for a month, and you seem to have become even more powerful... It's so strange, the size and posture haven't changed, why do you feel so good now!"
"You say that as if you were upset before."
"It's really different. Before, it was just normal pleasure, but now... it's superb!"
Along with this suggestive conversation, the woman's originally heroic voice gradually turned into a charming and seductive moan, which made Xiao Ai's face turn red.
Although Xiao Ai has no "practical experience", she was born in a modern city in the Internet age and is not lacking in theoretical knowledge. In addition, she meets bad people (in fact, birds of a feather flock together), and there are many young girls around her who are as introverted and shy as her.
Soon, a third person's voice was heard in the tent, shocking Xiao Ai even more.
"Master, don't just think about Blake. I, I miss you too."
"Haha, White, are you missing the Master? I'm embarrassed to expose you!"
The conversation in the tent shocked Xiao Ai for the whole year. She found that this different world was indeed the same as described in the light novel, and "Halim" was almost a fixed part.
However, just when she heard Xiao Ai blushing and trying to slip away before she was discovered, Rita's voice suddenly came from behind her, and Xiao Ai was almost scared to the point of cardiac and respiratory arrest.
"What are you doing?"
"Ms. Lilililita!? I-I wasn't eavesdropping!"
"..."
Faced with Xiao Ai's confession, Rita just smiled. She thought that the perception abilities of the three people in the tent were not ordinary people. This silly girl was discovered as soon as she got off the carriage.
Rita thought about it and felt that Xiao Ai would have to see the scene inside sooner or later. Moreover, since with the help of Lukoya, Dick now had an idea suitable for the succubus bloodline to break through the holy level, it was even more important for Xiao Ai to familiarize herself with this business process as soon as possible.
Moreover, helping Dick practice is beneficial to both parties. As a pure ordinary person, Xiao Ai really has no means of self-protection. Therefore, it is more urgent to strengthen, just like Hongye who can now use some low-level magic.
So without saying anything, Rita pushed Xiao Ai into the tent and saw a scene that she would never forget.
Dick may not look small, but he is really not small at all!!!
108. Some people are dissatisfied
Ever since Lukoya pointed out the problem of his spiritual practice reaching a bottleneck, Dick began to deliberately adjust his mindset, accept the "inhuman" half of his genes, and no longer curb his nature.
So when faced with the active teasing of the lustful older sister, Dick did not show any embarrassment, but fought back with a tongue kiss at lightning speed. Blake did not expect that after not seeing each other for more than a month, Dick would become so strong that she was a little unprepared.
But the proactive Dick also has a unique flavor. The unruly Knight King is very pleased that his pony has become more fierce, and feels that it will be more fun to "ride" it this way!
The two of them hugged and kissed passionately in the tent, caressing each other's bodies. Blake soon became hot under the dual effects of the exquisite technique and the succubus's body fluids. Being enchanted is essentially a state of poisoning, but Blake compares it to being "slightly tipsy" after drinking fine wine, and it's just an appetizer before the meal, the real nectar has not yet been squeezed out!
At this time, Dick noticed White who looked at a loss, and waved to her. White looked at the half-dressed sexy boy smiling at him, and swallowed his saliva subconsciously, thinking that this was unbearable!
Just as the saying goes, the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night, and I and the general are taking off our battle robes!
When Rita dragged Xiao Ai in to open her eyes, they were already on par with each other.
Seeing Rita bringing Xiao Ai in, except for White who was more serious and a little embarrassed, Dick and Blake just glanced at them and continued to enjoy their lovemaking as if no one was around.
It was the first time for Xiao Ai, who was still a novice, to see such a big scene with real swords and guns. Her face was red and almost bleeding. She was neither sitting nor standing. She wanted to cover her face with her hands, but her ten fingers could not be put together. The gaps between her fingers were bigger than her eyes.
It has to be said that Dick and Black and White Gundai's figures and looks are both top-notch. The male and female protagonists of those short films she had secretly watched cannot be compared at all, so the pictures are not that unbearable to watch.
Unlike Xiao Ai's embarrassment, Rita maintained a calm expression throughout the whole process. She calmly spread the mattress on the bed and asked Dick what he wanted to eat for dinner.
Xiao Ai was surprised by this situation. Is this world really so open-minded? So Xiao Ai tried to seek help from Rita who seemed very reliable.
"Ms. Rita..."
"what happened?"
"They, I, this...should we go out and avoid it?"
"Don't be surprised. I'll tell you a little secret that can't be passed on to anyone. Our Master Dick has a quarter of succubus bloodline and can generate magic through sex. And Black and White, the two female knights, are actually spirits called heroic spirits. They also need to obtain magic from our Master in this way to maintain their existence. So what they are doing now is not a bad thing. It is a basic physiological need, just like eating and drinking water."
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
After listening to Rita's explanation, Xiao Ai was skeptical. After all, this was a magical world, and Rita spoke in a serious tone. Then she quickly thought that the other party took the initiative to invite her in to observe the scene. Could it be a "business training" before officially taking up the post? ?
In this way, Xiao Ai watched carefully with a learning attitude.
At the same time, in Laguge, Befa, who stayed behind, had just received the Legend of the Flying Eagle. She learned that the cavalry troops that went to support had successfully joined up with Dick's team, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope everything goes well...
In the more than one month since Dick returned to the imperial capital to report on his work, everything is normal on the Laguge side. The black and white guns are watching over the military training, the "Forget-me-not" led by Tia is responsible for external intelligence gathering and internal security management, the Ruby Eyes is in charge of industrial and agricultural development, and the recently joined ship girl Ding'an is in charge of commerce. The head maid Befa is acting as the acting governor, coordinating the work between the various departments.
It is no exaggeration to say that at present, the top one or two in charge of various military and political departments in Laguge are all managed by Befa and her colleagues and sisters, so much so that Tia joked with everyone that what they are doing now is no longer harem meddling in politics, but a harem-style cabinet.
They are all professionals specially recruited by Dick according to demand. Their abilities are naturally beyond doubt. As a leader, Dick always gives everyone complete trust, but some people are indignant about this.
In the past few days, Befa learned from Tia that during the time when Dick was away from Laguge, some people under him had been complaining. They felt that although Dick had indeed made "a little" achievements in more than a year in office, he was really lustful and stupid, and even allowed a group of women to sit in high positions by sleeping with them. This really made them, the real heroes who had worked hard and made great contributions, feel disheartened.
Listening to the tones of these people, it seemed as if they were the ones who charged into battle during the suppression of bandits, who saved lives in the clinic, and who introduced corn to improve agriculture, which led to the unprecedented bumper harvest in Laguge.
If they were just complaining after drinking, Befa would ignore these sour guys, but from the information Tia has recently obtained, these guys are drinking and bragging, as if they really think they are talented but have not met a wise leader. They are actually colluding in secret and want to make trouble while Dick is not in Laguge.
And behind them, there is suspected support from the South.
After getting a general idea of the number, positions, and capabilities of these guys, Belfa judged that they could at most cause some trouble, but did not pose a real threat. So he asked Tia to keep an eye on them and not to worry about them for the time being, until they could gather some "like-minded" companions.
When Dick first arrived in Laguge last year, he said that the territory was in a state of disrepair and that population was its biggest weakness, so he only attacked the Saxon family, a local tyrant, to establish his authority, and did not touch other minor characters, just to give them a chance to perform.
Some of the wise ones are really good, but some are stubborn.
The reason for keeping them is, firstly, that I don't have time to spare, and secondly, that I can use them as bait.
This time when Dick returned to the imperial capital, being conferred a title was an unexpected surprise. Currently, this news has not been officially announced in Laguge, and most of the people below do not know about it yet.
