The Alchemist of Lust 02 (Wife and Mature Adult Novel)

Part 2: Northern Harvest Festival Chapter 1: Gift from the Imperial Capital

The sun was rising high in the sky, and the bright sunlight shone into my room from the window, waking me up from my sound sleep. When I opened my eyes, what I saw was the naked beauty Lily lying next to me. She was sleeping naked beside me, her long silver hair half covering her pretty thin face. Her snow-white skin, combined with the silver slave collar on her neck, made her look particularly soft and graceful in the dim light.

Sunshine, a big bed and beautiful women, there is nothing more comfortable than going home.

Half-jokingly, I teased the nipple ring on Lily's nipple and gently pulled it, causing her breast to lengthen slightly. Lily pretended to be nonchalant and let me play with her. Of course I didn't hesitate and rubbed her small but firm breasts with my hands.

In fact, with the alertness of a first-class swordsman, I'm afraid she would have woken up before I touched the nipple ring. Now she is just pretending to be asleep so as not to ruin my interest. However, it is quite good that she can learn this kind of hobby in such a short time.

"Lily, if you continue to sleep, your master will punish you by making you stay naked all day."

Lily didn't react at first, but slowly, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

"Servant Lily greets the master." The little girl looked at me with a sleepy smile, her silver hair slightly messy and two long ears lying horizontally in the air. This sleepy posture suddenly amazed me.

Lily saw me staring at her and suddenly smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Oh my god! My soul was almost hooked by this little goblin.

"Is the master's bed comfortable?"

"Mm, it's so comfortable. Lily has never slept in such a comfortable bed."

The Holy Fairy Clan is so poor that they made such a super beauty sleep on a wooden bed. It's such a waste of talent and outrageous. Thinking about it now, I can't help but miss the other slave wearing a blue collar; Xueyan.

"Master, is your arm healed?"

"It still hurts a little, but as long as you don't make big movements, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Although the monks have used healing magic to treat the injuries he suffered when he was sniped by Tianshu and Yelan, it will take some time to fully recover.

Lily sat up on the bed, her waterfall of silver hair vertically covering her breasts, and her blue-green pupils staring at me with obsession. Even though I had a lot of women in the past, there were only a few who were as pretty as her.

When she put her face on my chest and leaned her whole fragrant body against me, I instinctively reached out to her collar and touched the slave ring that was soaked with her body heat.

This beautiful lady is my sex slave, ha! !

"Master, are you done?"

"Fuck! You big-headed ghost, my master is busy with official duties, and I think about fucking all day long."

I tapped Lily's head gently, but she just smiled and said nothing. I pinched her pierced pink nipple with my fingers, and unexpectedly, this gentle pinch caused her to become hard. If I hadn't had an appointment with all the civil and military officials in the city and had to deal with the mountains of corpses, I would have pushed this little pervert down on the bed and had sex with him again.

“Ku…Ku…Ku…”

"Come in."

Lily wanted to hide, but I grabbed her shoulders, exposing her naked upper body. The door opened and a girl in maid clothes walked in. Lily buried her face in my chest, but her face was already burning. On the contrary, the maid, who was used to it, did not have any special reaction.

"Master, all the officials are here, waiting for you in the meeting room of the outer hotel."

"Notify them that I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

"Yes, sir."

The maid left the room, and I reached under the quilt and found that Lily's lower body was wet. As a trainer, I certainly didn't forget to tease her. I waved the love juice on my hands in front of her eyes before wiping my fingers clean on her little face.

“Hehe…pervert…”

“…Um…I’m sorry…”

"Help the master change his clothes, so that the master can play with your breasts tonight."

"Yes... Master..."

Feibenli is the northernmost large city in Vrost. It was supposed to be a desolate place, but in just five years, the population surged from 480,000 to 670,000, and it even became an industrial center.

Generally, large border cities are only allowed to have 20,000 garrisons, but due to the bloody battle with the orc army five years ago, the royal family specially allowed Fei Benli to increase the military limit to more than 30,000. In addition to the original 20,000 infantry in the city, there is now an additional 11,000-man cavalry regiment and a division of 50 magicians. There were more than thirty military units of a thousand men or a thousand cavalrymen alone.

In addition, there is a mercenary group stationed in the three large counties in the north. This mercenary group was established four years ago and is named the Eagle Strike Mercenary Group. It has a maximum force of 15,000 registered in the imperial capital and is ready to assist in resisting foreign enemies or carry out actions that are not suitable for government forces at any time.

The Council Hall is located in the outer guesthouse of the Baron's Palace and can accommodate more than 150 people. More than 80 people have been waiting for me here. Among them are all administrative officials of Feibenli City, as well as senior military officers, nobles and knights.

"Greetings, Lord."

"Everyone, please don't be so polite. Let's get to work."

There are two arc-shaped seats on both sides of the council hall, and people sit according to their rank. The person closest to me is naturally the one with the highest status. On my left are the generals headed by Liandao. Although Liandao is a commoner of my family, he is still a noble and a knight. Behind him are the magician captain Kalan, the infantry captain Ayela, and the last ones are the ordinary thousand-cavalry captains.

On my right is a white-haired old man, his name is Sharuanli, we usually respectfully call him "old man". He is already sixty years old and has served as the Prime Minister of Feibenli City for forty years. He was a declining nobleman, but now he is the head of all civil servants and a capable assistant to me in governing this city.

Following him came a series of civil servants, among whom Adameli and Bulgas were the highest-ranking, in charge of finance and commerce.

There were two women sitting behind me, one was Lily, who was responsible for protecting my safety, and the other was Amys, my personal assistant and secretary general.

Two civil servants appeared beside the old man and placed several thick documents in front of me.

"Master, what are these dictionaries?"

"Great Baron, our most beloved lord, you have been away from Feibenli City for more than ten days. Here are the documents that must be reviewed within ten days. I hope they can be processed as soon as possible after the meeting of the lords."

This old man was one of the few senior officials among my subordinates who had the courage to speak out against me. He looked at me with a malicious sneer, like a grandfather teaching his grandson, and his eyes seemed to tell me "the more romantic one is, the more dishonest one will be".

"Who has the patience to wait for the meeting to end? When the meeting begins, who has something to submit?"

I opened the document in my hand, my eyes were fixed on the words, but my ears were paying attention to their report.

Looking at me handling documents while reviewing their reports, I believe the old man and others must have been stunned by my ability to do two things at once.

"Who is in charge of the reception team, and why did such a mistake happen?"

There was a hint of anger in my tone, and a man ran out from the table and knelt on one knee in front of me in the middle of the table.

I glanced at him from the corner of my eye and recognized him as a newly appointed official named Zulia.

"I am responsible for this, please forgive me, sir."

Zulia, who was kneeling in front of me, was trembling, but it was no wonder. In the northern part of the empire today, no one dares to displease me, because my reputation is even more shocking than that of Emperor Willy VI.

"Sir, although this aspect is handled by the reception team, the North has not held a harvest festival for more than 20 years, and there will always be errors in the data. This can be said to be a non-war crime." The old man, who is the head of the civil servants, spoke up for Zulia.

"Saruanli and Amis, I want to hear your opinions."

"..." There was silence in the council hall.

"Pass my order. All factories will close one day early. Zulia, you will start renovating the factory dormitories the day after tomorrow. You must complete it by midnight the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, you will be dismissed and investigated."

"I will follow your orders, sir." As Zulia ran away, other people came to report, and the first one was Lian Dao.

"Sir, please allocate the actions of each army for the Harvest Festival."

"Rian Dao, divide the cavalry regiment into six pavilions. One pavilion will be responsible for patrolling outside the north gate, one pavilion will be responsible for clearing the south gate and protecting the smooth and safe access. The other four pavilions will take turns to rest. Aiyela, divide the infantry into twelve pavilions. One pavilion will be on guard on the city wall, three pavilions will be responsible for the security of the east, west and central areas, and the others will take turns to rest. Kalan, assign the monks to form a medical team to assist in handling emergencies in various districts."

While I was assigning their actions, I was still reviewing the documents in my hands at a rapid pace, handling these official duties at the same time.

"Sir, may I ask who will receive the dignitaries from all over the country?"

"Karan, you and the magicians will form a reception team. On the one hand, you will be responsible for receiving officials from all over the country, and on the other hand, you will provide close protection. No mistakes will be allowed. If necessary, you can use public funds to hire mercenaries to assist. Amys, notify the head of the Imeilu tribe and let her use my reception hall freely. Let her handle all matters concerning the merchant group."

There were slight noises in the council hall. They seemed to disagree with my decision, because Amys's diplomatic skills were much better than the silent Karan. But due to my power, no one dared to speak.

"Is there anything else that has not been dealt with?"

"..."

I laughed, closed the document in my hand, threw down the pen, and finished this scary work. The old man had a very ugly expression on his face and he seemed to be talking. Judging from his mouth shape, he was calling me a "monster".

“What the hell, this is the job you couldn’t handle in ten days? I finished it in two hours.

"Hahahaha~~~~Will I pay you too much salary~~~~Hahaha~~~" When I showed a sneer on my face, all the civil servants and military officers looked pale, but there was nothing they could do to me.

"Sir, there is still a very important matter that has not been resolved. Come here and present it."

The two civil servants each held a black silk box, one was square and the other was rectangular.

A nervous expression flashed across everyone's face, and even I couldn't help but become curious, as this seemed to be the main event.

"This is the gift the royal family sent yesterday morning to celebrate our victory..."

The man placed two boxes in front of me and opened them. In one of them was a black broad-shouldered cloak with a silver sheen. With the alchemist's discernment, he could tell at a glance that it was made of expensive material. After being polished and infiltrated with magic stone fragments, it had a high degree of magic defense.

As for the other sword with a black handle, I didn't pull it out to have a look, but judging from the royal emblem on the scabbard and the shape and carving of the hilt, it must be the work of a famous artist.

Sharuanli stood up and wanted to speak, but I gestured to him to stop. Everyone became nervous for a moment, and even Li Andao and others showed surprised expressions.

This cloak and sword were presented by the royal family and are undoubtedly priceless items, but their meaning is even more far-reaching. According to convention, only knights and princes of the rank of Marquis or above could be awarded a cloak or sword when they had made great contributions, because these two royal items represented the power of "exemption from the death penalty" and "execution first and reporting later".

It had never happened in the history of the empire that the emperor bestowed these two treasures at once.

Since my relationship with the South was extremely bad and my hatred for Prime Minister Helus was even deeper than the sea, I never returned to the imperial capital to report on my duties after taking office as lord, and the other ten counties in the north were also absent every year. But this time, I have cleverly defeated the coalition forces of 700,000, which will surely shock the imperial family in the imperial capital. His Majesty the Emperor made an exception and awarded the gift this time. In addition to trying to win me over, he also hinted that I should return to the imperial capital to report on my work.

If I still insist on not going back, it will be regarded as rejecting the kindness of His Majesty King Willy VI. If I cannot step down, I don't know how the other party will react. That is why all the officials, big and small, are so nervous about my decision.

But I had other ideas.

"Can anyone tell me what changes have taken place in the imperial capital in the past ten days?"
